  1. I know there are lots of music lovers here with eclectic tastes. Broadcast radio is pretty sad in Syracuse (but the "Blue Moon Cafe" on Sunday mornings provides some relief - though it's almost entirely old stuff). I have found internet radio to be a good listen. I am a member of WFUV (wfuv.org) and listen to other internet radio stations, such as KEXP (Seattle), KUTX (Austin), KGSR (Austin) and The Current (Minnesota). Many of them put out CDs each year with the best of their live in-studio performances. KGSR and WFUV are particularly good, as is KFOG's (San Francisco). My current favorite station is KCRW (KCRW.com). They have an all-music channel "Eclectic 24" that is quite good, interruption and commercial free, and is a source for new music for me. Where do you find new music? Edit: Noisetrade and Bandsintown have been good sources, as well.
  2. Actually, wouldn't the "Ice Bucket Challenge" be more appropriate for pornography addiction? Treatment AND a fundraiser!
  3. That IS funny! The link is: I sent the video link to one of my guys that suffers from this and this was his reply: "I got goosebumps on the back of my neck, that is totally me and how I feel. I had tears running down my face by the end. Thank you in a sincere way!"
  4. Thanks for posting this. Although it may seem to some like a bad Saturday Night Live "short", this is a real problem. I sponsor a group of men in two different 12-step programs and I have seen first-hand how real this addiction is and how it devastates their families and the men themselves. 12-step Recovery is spiritually-based and this video is pretty much in line with the spiritual aspects of 12-step recovery.
  5. hater
  6. Let me be the first to say "I am so done with this team".
  7. You mean people come here for reasons OTHER than to see the board melt down? That doesn't sound like much fun....
  8. VHS? Really??? I deal strictly in Beta
  9. I can sell you copies from my vast collection of pirated, copyrighted broadcasts.....unless you're a spy for the NFL - in which case I don't know what you are talking about.
  10. Ummm...maybe it was created as another opportunity for you to demonstrate your vast knowledge and to act indignant?
  11. It will be streaming live here: http://stream.nbcsports.com/liveextra/
  12. First Bills offensive play: bomb to Sammy for the TD
  13. 55.....but all the girls say I look 54
  14. Find a good back or spinal specialist. Taking any advice without medical expertise is risky. My experience is having a herniated disc at L4-L5. I tried chiro, accupuncture and electrical stim. Nothing helped. Once I found a good specialist he did epidurals with a steroid/novacaine mix. It relieved the pain and leg symptoms. Then I did Mackenziie exercises to improve lordosis. I've had this since 1994 and have occasional flare ups but with quality medical care I have avoided surgery. Spinal surgery can be a crapshoot and both a neurosurgeon and orthopod surgeon have told me to avoid surgery if I can. Beware treating this without medical expertise. PS pain meds landed me in rehab. My experience was as you indicated - you get a buzz but no true pain relief. Be very careful because pain meds are highly addictive to some folks - both emotionally and physically. Good Luck to you Chef!
  15. How could you tell? If he were any slower, he'd be crawling!
  16. I think the red helmets should be forever retired as they are emblematic of the Kelly and Super Bowl(s) era. Let them stand as a reminder of those days. The white look great - current unis are my all-time favorite. The blue helmets are intriguing though......
  17. As a Bills fan for 46 years, this certainly doesn't surprise me. But it does take the sails out of our wind a little bit.
  18. There are many good public radio stations out there streaming for free, including 24/7 music-only channels of their playlists. KCRW is my current favorite, WFUV is another one I have listened to for the past 5-6 years.
  19. "How about a nice cup of shut the %$#@ up!" Love your avatar!
  20. Hamilton? Hamilton?? Really?? C'mon man!!!! Let's get real. NFL will NEVER be in Hamilton. Now, St. Catherines on the other hand........
  21. C'mon now, there's no reason to bring Mary Wilson's taint into this!
  22. Please tell me this wasn't your first clue!
  23. Joke's on you Ralph! I just printed every one of those paintings off the website and am hanging them in my bathroom right now.
  24. Well, he DID say it's "one of the good things" about Buffalo. He wasn't bitching about it - AND - It might make us more attractive to free agents from the Edmonton Eskimos.
  25. I'd be on board with the Washington Gingers, especially if they trade for Andy Dalton. But honestly I think I have become immune to the term since I've heard it pretty much all my life (at least 45 years anyway) in association with the team. But when I really think about what the term means it is an offensive and derogatory term in my mind. Here in Syracuse, Ive heard a lot of black Americans call each other the N-word. But I've never heard a Native American call another Native American "Redskin". And the Onondaga tribe is pretty well represented around here.
