Tony Rice Tab This clip features Tony and Wyatt Rice playing Manzanita. The tune is followed by a chord progression play by play breakdown with closeups featuring Wyatt Rice. Take a moment to witness the legendary Tony Rice in action!

He plays just about every Monday Night at the Orbit Room on College St. in Toronto, cover is 7 bucks. One of my personal 'best weekly gig in town' picks.

Here is an excerpt from the Wikipedia page on the Glass Container Industry, under the 'Coatings' heading: DONT PANIC I am still researching the depths of this issue myself. Here's some good news for now: The cheap and easy way to avoid modern polyethylene wax coated glass is to go with older glass. Thrift shops, antique markets, ebay etc. Its out there, and it isn't too expensive; yet... Get plastic out of your diet: A thorough, well referenced article, interesting reading for most, a must read for parents! Author of above article demonstrates how he eliminated plastic from his kitchen; complete with photos, instructions on making drinking glasses out of old glass bottles and more.

Nearly all clear plastic is unhealthy to eat/drink from/store food in. This includes Tupperware, bottled water and soft drink bottles, and other rigid, clear or colored plastic; including baby bottles, Nalgene, likely your Britta water jug etc. All modern plastic containers are (supposed to be) stamped with a number representing its chemical composition. You can generally find a number stamped into the bottom, from # one through # seven. Avoiding 1, 3, 6 and 7 is wise as they are proven to be bad for our health. [color:red]1 and 7 are TERRIBLE for us. [color:green]Numbers 2, 4, and 5 are considered the safest (well, safer) types of plastic to use, they do not contain BPA; though as howler points out, GLASS is the safest, readily available option. Keep in mind with glass; that a lot of glass bottles today are paper thin, and coated with a thin layer of plastic or wax. Avoid this type of glass for re-use, there are other options. A Solution: Good wineries spare no expense in sourcing the highest quality, non-toxic, glass bottles. Treat yourself to some good french wine- the wine will last five glasses, the bottle will last you years.

Did you get that fog machine Jay? And what time does JSB go on?

2 hours of Jimi tunes and trivia hosted by Randy Bachman on CBC Radio 1 right now. Saturday 7th April 7 P.M.

Hearty hug and hey now back at you Alexis. Congrats on the new job; last time we met I could tell good things were coming your way! Thanks for the greetings and positive vibes everyone, See you on the dance floor!

I am mostly harmless and often seeking shelter from the storm by wandering through the sanctuary of the local forest. The Sanctuary here has been useful over the years too, finding out about shows, procrastinating from work, and all that great kinda stuff. Glad to have finally evolved from lurker to roadie, Keep on rockin, Save the Sanctuaries, Damien (p.s. Thanks for putting together and maintaining a great site Bouche!!)

Methinks that said tabletop instrument interfaced with the mind of pablo sanchez = look out! One a helluva party! Hmmm, I wonder which music store in Canada will be the first in line for one of these units?

Onymacris unguicularis is the name of a little beetle that lives in the rainless wilderness of the Namib Desert, close to the southwestern coast of Africa. This flightless beetle spends most of its time underground in the sand dunes, where temperatures remain fairly constant. But when thirsty, it emerges from its little burrow and looks about. There is no water anywhere; rain comes only once in several years. The little fellow is not discouraged, but climbs to the crest of a sand dune, faces the breeze, and waits. Gradually fog condenses on its body. It just so happens that this beetle is born with several grooves on its face. Some of the water trickles down the grooves into the beetle's mouth. Happily, the little fellow goes searching for dry food and then returns to its burrow for a nap.

Fog Machine  • Rental $40.00 per day (includes 1 qt. of fog juice) • Available for purchase • Fog Juice $40.00 per gallon **Deposit $50.00**

No objections to the idea, but really, just rent the fog machines, everything will float into place.

then the promoter splurges on a couple of fog machines and voila!

Any word on when the Rama tickets will go on sale?

MOBE, I submit, Cydonia could have E.T. significance. Thanks for the links. There seems to have been much attempt to debunk Cydonia as natural geological formations and shadows. Personally I think both sides of the argument have merit. I am skeptical/curious as to why so many probes/landers/satelliets sent to the red planet malfunction and fail. Including the UK's Beagle 2 in 2004 (lander/rover-to search for signs of life) and Japan's Nozomi in 2003 (the only interplanetary mission that Canada has participated in to date). As it stands, the USA is the only country to have successfully LANDED a probe on Mars. The USA is the only country with future ground missions presently scheduled. Many a scientist and space enthusiast have criticized NASA for failing to commit to studying and photographing Cydonia in more detail. This Hexagon on Saturn on the other hand- I haven't heard much convincing debunking about it yet. On a planet with a thick cloudy atmosphere, we find this massive, perfectly geometrical hexagonal clearing in the clouds, 75 MILES DEEP, 2 EARTH DIAMETERS WIDE rotating in sync with the planet...

There's an endless list of interesting Dirty Big Secrets behind most of the "experts" and "scientists" interviewed in this swindle. Indeed, the author of the Windsor Star article is none other than the first on the list below; [color:red]Frederick Singer. Many of the film's interviewees are in the pay of the fossil fuel industry and energy lobby groups. And of course, some are those kinds of people willing to say anything just to make a buck. Check out this background info on ten of the 18 skeptics interviewed, and why they might not be credible. Be sure to check the referenced links for the real eye openers. Then, You can decide who's trying to swindle who. [color:red]Professor Emeritus Frederick Singer (made a name for himself fighting for the tobacco lobby, arguing that second hand smoke wasn't bad for human health, connected to at least 11 separate organizations on the payroll of Exxon Mobil.) reference [color:red]Dr Tim Ball (in the pay of the oil and gas industry, runs PR groups controlled by energy industry lobbyists) reference more references [color:red]Piers Corbyn - (Possibly whacko numero uno of the cast. He claims to have a secret technique for predicting the weather months in advance, but the catch is, you have to buy his forecasts to check their validity, and many who do seem to want their money back; apparently he isn't very good at it.) reference [color:red]Professor Richard Lindzen (has been paid at a rate of $2,500 per day by the oil and gas industry as a consultant. Had trip expenses to testify before a Senate comittee on climate science paid by Western Fuels. Has been paid by OPEC to write an essay entitled: 'Global Warming: the Origin and Nature of Alleged Scientific Consensus') reference [color:red]Patrick Moore (One of my personal favorite (loathed) climate skeptics. In the pay of the Forestry, Fossil fuel and Nuclear Industry. No BS, here's a PR gem he came up with in the past: On the disappearing Amazon rainforest in 2000: "They are just about the healthiest forests in the world. This stuff about them vanishing at an alarming rate is a con based on bad science...anyone who has been in the jungle knows that if you want to live there, you'd better take a few machetes.") reference [color:red]Professor Patrick Michaels (long time on the fossil fuel payroll, Critics of his work wonder why he consistently leaves out 1996-present data in his discussions, graphs etc, as those last ten or so years are the hottest on record.) reference more references [color:red]Paul K. Driessen (Co-editor of Capital PR news, newsletter of the largest chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. His bio indicates working for an unspecified energy trade association) reference [color:red]Paul Reiter (Paul sits comfortably on a board of scientific advisors for the 'Annapolis Center for Science-Based Public Policy'. This group was the recipient of $763,500 Exxon Mobil dollars, and used to be funded by the 'National Association of Manufacturers', one of America's largest industry groups) reference [color:red]Ian Clark (sits on the scientific advisory board of a PR group directed by Tim Ball, controlled by fossil interests - see above) reference [color:red]Roy Spencer (Scientific advisor to the "Interfaith Stewardship Alliance"; "a coalition of religious leaders, clergy, theologians, scientists, academics, and other policy experts committed to bringing a proper and balanced Biblical view of stewardship to the critical issues of environment and development." <-- if that mission statement doesn't scare you then just follow the money. He is also a member of at least two think tanks who are or have been on the payroll of Exxon Mobil.) reference 10 of the 18 interviewed in the film having serious conflicts of interest to say the least. Feel free to continue researching the remaining eight. Newsflash, make that seven. [color:green]Professor Carl Wunsch was also interviewed in the film, yet it turns out he was swindled into believing the film was to be a balanced study of science. Immediately after the program aired, Professor Wunsch denounced the film as PR spin, saying that he wouldn't have made the appearance if he knew it aimed to stall the debate. Read his entire letter to the Television Broadcaster who aired the program in response #109 to the link below: real climate science from climate scientists

What better way to bump this thread than with a look back to Zappa as a drug lord on Miami Vice
