  1. My heart goers out to Philand his family. I know he will triumph. If anything Phil is a survivor. Phil is also right men, need to get tested as they get older to avoid this preventable killer. Think about it if Frank Zappa did this he may still be with us. Keep the Cain Unbroken
  2. Bridge of Sighs- Robin Trower (eerie as hell) Devil's got my woman- Skip James Devil went down to Georgia- Charlie Daniels Band Dead Babies- Alice Cooper Friend of the Devil- Grateful Dead
  3. Indeed! [color:red]Happy B-day from the Chameleon Project.
  4. I still think that paying $1.50 for water is retarded. It's water! I have lomng though it was all a scam. If you told someone is 1965 that one day people would pay as much as $2.00 or $3.50 in a club for water they'd tell you you were nuts paying for water. It should be free! And they'd be right.
  5. And now Garbosa is out with the same thing Bosh has. And thier number #1 draft pick Andrea Bargnani is out too with some ailment. so to recap: Bosh Garbosa Bargnani TJ Ford are all on the injured list! Why oh why does the injury fairy treat Toronto so harsh every year. I am offically worried. ugh.
  6. Faking! Are you serious! That's crazy! Fuck! Rush should just stick to non perscription Viagra and Painkillers.....
  7. No I think it's different. More of an inflamation thing. But I'm no doctor! Unless you count being a dr. of love!
  8. I think Kim Jong is learing swiftly from the Americans! [color:purple]Good work!
  9. Fuck North Korea! This is now the greatest threat facing humanity! I now realize we are living in hell. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
  10. Whatever! Bosh is still out! Bosh missed his third game of the pre-season with plantar fascitis, which is an inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament that runs along the bottom of the foot. I hear this is chronic and could afffect hoiw much he plays all year and the only way to cure it is to not play for months! Ouch! Although it is not a very serious problem it will affect his playing time. Also TJ Ford is out! He was out with a sore hamstring. The good news is the Raptors are winning without them. Let's hope this all get cleared up by regualr season play. Who wants to start a pool based on potenial Raptors injuries?! Could be fun. hahahaha, [color:green]Paluge Raptors injuries, chronically do.
  11. How is this working?!! Legally you can not deport someone who is was born in your country. I've read in the paper today that this judgemnt is wack and probably will not stand.
  12. Hi All, I thought you'd appreciate a recent find of mine that has just been added to Sugarmegs.org. [color:navy]Roy Buchanan: Sept. 15 1979, West Park Chicago, IL Show Link 1979 Chicago For those of you not familiar with this genius of the telecaster, read the Bio below. And listen to the killer solo Buchana's version of the Tyrone Davis soul classic, "Change my mind". Stunning technique and phrasing. WOW! Biography by Greg Prato Roy Buchanan has long been considered one of the finest, yet criminally overlooked guitarists of the blues rock genre whose lyrical leads and use of harmonics would later influence such guitar greats as Jeff Beck, his one-time student Robbie Robertson, and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons. Although born in Ozark, AR, on September 23, 1939, Buchanan grew up in the small town of Pixley, CA. His father was both a farmer and Pentecostal preacher, which would bring the youngster his first exposure to gospel music when his family would attend racially mixed revival meetings. But it was when Buchanan came across late-night R&B radio shows that he became smitten by the blues, leading to Buchanan picking up the guitar at the age of seven. First learning steel guitar, he switched to electric guitar by the age of 13, finding the instrument that would one day become his trademark: a Fender Telecaster. By 15, Buchanan knew he wanted to concentrate on music full-time and relocated to Los Angeles, which contained a thriving blues/R&B scene at the time. Shortly after his arrival in L.A., Buchanan was taken under the wing by multi-talented bluesman Johnny Otis, before studying blues with such players as Jimmy Nolen (later with James Brown), Pete Lewis, and Johnny "Guitar" Watson. During the mid- to late '50s, Buchanan led his own rock band, the Heartbeats, which soon after began backing rockabilly great Dale ("Suzy Q") Hawkins. By the dawn of the '60s, Buchanan had relocated once more, this time to Canada, where he signed on with rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins. The bass player of Ronnie Hawkins' backing band, the Hawks, studied guitar with Buchanan during his tenure with the band. Upon Buchanan's exit, the bassist-turned-guitarist would become the leader of the group, which would eventually become popular roots rockers the Band: Robbie Robertson. Buchanan spent the '60s as a sideman with obscure acts, as well as working as a session guitarist for such varied artists as pop idol Freddy Cannon, country artist Merle Kilgore, and drummer Bobby Gregg, among others, before Buchanan settled down in the Washington, D.C., area in the mid- to late '60s and founded his own outfit, the Snakestretchers. Despite not having appeared on any recordings of his own, word of Buchanan's exceptional playing skills began to spread among musicians as he received accolades from the likes of John Lennon, Eric Clapton, and Merle Haggard, as well as supposedly being invited to join the Rolling Stones at one point (which he turned down). The praise eventually led to an hour-long public television documentary on Buchanan in 1971, the appropriately titled The Best Unknown Guitarist in the World, and a recording contract with Polydor Records shortly thereafter. Buchanan spent the remainder of the decade issuing solo albums, including such guitar classics as his 1972 self-titled debut (which contained one of Buchanan's best-known tracks, "The Messiah Will Come Again"), 1974's That's What I Am Here For, and 1975's Live Stock, before switching to Atlantic for several releases. But by the '80s, Buchanan had grown disillusioned by the music business due to the record company's attempts to mold the guitarist into a more mainstream artist, which led to a four-year exile from music between 1981 and 1985. Luckily, the blues label Alligator convinced Buchanan to begin recording again by the middle of the decade, issuing such solid and critically acclaimed releases as 1985's When a Guitar Plays the Blues, 1986's Dancing on the Edge, and 1987's Hot Wires. But just as his career seemed to be on the upswing once more, tragedy struck on August 14, 1988, when Buchanan was picked up by police in Fairfax, VA, for public intoxication. Shortly after being arrested and placed in a holding cell, a policeman performed a routine check on Buchanan and was shocked to discover that he had hung himself in his cell. Buchanan's stature as one of blues-rock's all-time great guitarist grew even greater after his tragic death, resulting in such posthumous collections as Sweet Dreams: The Anthology, Guitar on Fire: The Atlantic Sessions, Deluxe Edition, and 20th Century Masters.

  17. Bloc to force election if fiscal imbalance not settled RHEAL SEGUIN Globe and Mail Update The Bloc Québécois says it will defeat the minority Conservative government and force an election early next year if Prime Minister Stephen Harper fails to deliver on his promise to settle the fiscal imbalance in the next federal budget. Anything short of $3.9-billion for Quebec in the next budget will constitute a broken promise, party leader Gilles Duceppe said yesterday while warning Quebec Premier Jean Charest against accepting anything less from his Conservative friends. “Jean Charest must absolutely maintain the $3.9-billion and change friends and stop being a beggar who is satisfied with receiving crumbs. We will keep an eye on him and we will demand a $3.9-million settlement,†Mr. Duceppe told more than 250 Bloc Québécois members at the party's annual meeting. The party was determined to win back the seats it lost in the Quebec City region in the last campaign and was determined to take aim at the Conservatives right-wing agenda. The Globe and Mail: Bolstered by recent public opinion polls that show the Bloc Québécois holding a commanding lead in the province with the support of about 44-per cent of voters, Mr. Duceppe expressed confidence that Quebeckers have definitely turned their backs on Mr. Harpers ultra-conservative social and moral values. The party has served notice that by the end of December it will be ready to fight an election. The Harper government has given the Bloc plenty of ammunition to fight the next campaign, Mr. Duceppe said. He noted that the Conservatives were not only backtracking on their promise to settle the fiscal imbalance but they have disappointed Quebeckers by supporting U.S. president George W. Bush's military policies in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also argued that the Conservative values are opposed to those defended by Quebeckers listing tougher sentences for repeat offenders, the discarding of the gun registry and a more rigid judiciary as measures voters in the province will reject. Calling the Conservatives “heartless†Mr. Duceppe said that despite the billions of dollars and surpluses, the long-awaited financial package for elderly laid-off workers in troubled industries such as the textile and forestry sectors, fail short of expectation. And he pointed to the Conservatives environmental policy, which abandoned the targets set in the Kyoto protocol for the reduction of greenhouse gases as another example of how Mr. Harper had distanced himself from the values cherished by Quebeckers. Mr. Harper has said that a vote of confidence on his proposed environmental measures will not be considered a vote of confidence against his government. But if he changes his mind, Mr. Duceppe said the Conservatives will be defeated. “If Mr. Harper holds a vote of confidence on these measures, don't expect the Bloc to support them. If he wants to do that we are ready to go into an election on his environmental plan any time,†Mr. Duceppe warned. Convinced that the Conservative government will be defeated in the House of Commons in the spring, the Bloc Québécois launched preparations this weekend for the next campaign, which according to Mr. Duceppe will be decisive for the sovereignty movement. “It (sovereignty) will be at the heart of the campaign. Conservatives told us they want the power. I tell them we have the will. And to have the power is to have all the powers and that's called giving ourselves a country. That's what it means and we will talk about it,†Mr. Duceppe said to a cheering crowd. In order to organize a strong campaign, the Bloc appealed to its members to help the party raise $2.3-million during the current fundraising campaign. The head of the party's election committee, Roberval MP Michel Gauthier said he didn't like the prospect of another election so soon but that the party had no choice but to prepare for another fight. “We don't know when it (the campaign) will start. But we know when we will be ready. And we will be ready by the Christmas Holidays,†Mr. Gauthier said. The main objective will be to win back the seats lost in the Quebec City region at the hands of the Conservatives. Mr. Harper's promise to settle the fiscal imbalance during the campaign last December helped him win four of the five seats in Quebec City as well as four other seats in ridings just south of the city. Mr. Duceppe commissioned a report from party president Hélène Alarie who recommended a more active presence in the region, which felt abandoned at the expense of Montreal. While most of the report remained secret, the party acted promptly by opening a bureau in the city and organizing a series of event aimed at promoting Bloc initiatives in Ottawa. On Sunday, the Bloc will devote the day debating issues that affect the Quebec City region while the outlining the Quebec Conservative members' failure at representing the needs of their constituents.

  23. I actually Like Ignatieff now! It's the first good move he's made in this leadership race. Right On! More of that! In one foul swoop he has admitted he was flawed in supporting the Iraq invasion, and got us back on track by voiceing his dislike/distain for the brutal Bush administration. I for one am happy to take a tade hit to distance ourselves form American ideals/foriegn policy. If it means the economy suffers somewhat. It's worth it. We will recover. And remeber the American need us as much as we need them. They just don't admit it. Time to stop living in fear. Fear is the Bush admistrations' biggest weapon. Fuck them!
