This SUCKS. He's such an exciting player to watch. Such potential too. Hate to see him loose so much time at such a young age. He should be a point a game player right now Get healthy QUICK Kyle!

There are good unions and bad unions. How can you see NO good in unions? I'm the first to admit that there are some sectors where unions got to the point where they ended up shutting down the businesses that they were supposed to be protecting the jobs of the workers. That's an extreme and most don't operate that way these days. I can comprehend that for some employers, having a unionized workforce might be seen as a pain in the ass. However, BOTH sides come to an understanding when working out CBAs. Unions are supposed to act in a democratic fashion. They have to take votes in order to take on certain directives, and then ratify any agreements that they make with employers before they get signed-off on. The union representatives are voted in by the workers. You don't vote, DON'T complain. Birdy, I think it is a drag when your union is not doing what you perceive to be the right thing. However, did your mom ever ask to talk to them about it? Did your mom participate in the vote to determine who represents her in the union? Does she get any of the benefits of the CBA that is in place where she works? (health, dental, pension, etc.) If she hates unions, then why did she accept a job at a place where the staff are unionized? To me, it's a lot like politics. If you don't exercise your right to participate, and vote, then how can you expect people to side with you when you complain about your own union?

Damn i hate it when you type up a reply and then when you go to post it, it loses it!! I'll respond later in the day to what you had to say Birdy.

Nothin' like the disco cube van in the lot after a Dead show. Good times, good times. I feel like a grilled cheese, or maybe a burrito now!

Me too. One of the best albums always: Freaked out many people playing the "original" Pastime Paradise by Stevie to show how UNoriginal Coolio was. I did hear that Stevie did give Coolio permission. However, it's more of a 'cover' version than anything truly original.

It really goes to show how the media are the biggest perpetrators of false information and fear mongering. This reporter bastardizes the journalistic profession and should be fired, IMHO. Much to the chagrin of the Bush gov't, this is the kind of dialogue from Ahmadinejad that they don't want the public to hear. The demonizing of the Iranian people is tragic. The gov't is quick to tell everyone how evil Iran is, rather than educating the public on what Iran is really like and its people. http://rawstory.com//news/2007/Iranian_leader_tells_off_CBS_reporter_0921.html

I don't get it. If that's the way you feel about a religious holiday, why bother "celebrating" it? Should you not WANT to be a part of it? Please don't take that as any sort of jab or insult. I truly am just curious. I had a couple of tour buddies back when I was seeing Dead shows and the Jewish holidays always seemed to pose a problem for them. They'd try to explain to their families that Mickey was Jewish and he was going to be there It seemed to me that their dilemma wasn't with their faith, but rather with the fear of the wrath of their parents/grandparents? While many people may experience euphoria and spiritual connections in churches and religious settings, I have found mine at magical moments at shows (the IT or "X" factor when it's pumping to the nth degree).

Hey traveler, I feel for ya. I was locked-out (yes, my employers locked the doors and wouldn't let me in to work) a couple of years ago. It sucked. For 2 months it lasted, and while people may think it looks like fun not having to work, it IS NOT. When all avenues have been exhausted in negotiations, then something has to get done. Don't jump down somebody's throat who's on strike or locked-out until you get the details of the situation. More often than not, a corporation is trying to take advantage of their staff. THey'll do anything to save a buck and sometimes trying to affect how well they get their bucks is the only way to get through. In my situation, the employer chose to lock out the staff at a time when work slows down and they were actually able to profit by not having to deal with a huge chunk of their payroll for 2 months. They're still up to their dirty tricks and it's a big game ... and so stupid when you think about it. However, if nobody stood up to them they'd be walking all over everyone. For people who coldly dismiss anyone who strikes, simply because they themselves are not in a unionized work environment, is pretty nasty. That's like getting mad at doctors because they make a good salary, or at teachers because they get the summer off. YOU can choose to get the education to become one of those professionals, and you can apply to work at an employer who has a unionized staff with benefits. While I am the first to admit that there are some unions that have taken their position and power wayy beyond, there are many many more employers who do worse. In the best union/employer relationships, they work as checks+balances to ensure fair and equal treatment. So, traveler, what is the gist of the dispute? How come there was no way of getting a contract? What are the hold out points?

I'm picturing you laughing like this dude:

Wow ... this pic hit me hard when I saw it. http://www.yousaytoo.com/user/kitty/3540 Back from Iraq Terri Gurrola comes back from Iraq and meets her daughter. She served in Iraq for 7 months. The photo is really moving. She's home for a mid deployment R&R and will be going back to Iraq for at least another 7 months. She's a medic near Ramadi, one of the most dangerous areas in Iraq.

I think that's the original leak on meganova. Try the one that I upped in the link above and hear what you're mmissin'

My buddy came by tonight and he had an industry copy of the new Springsteen album. This isn't that 192k rip that's out there. THis is a factory pressed silver. To hear the difference compared to the leak, listen to this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QTB23VZI

My buddy just dropped this one off tonight. I've listened to it twice and am really digging it. It's the soundtrack to a Sean Penn directed film.
