  1. Jeff beck doing the guitar work on this Roger Waters' tune:
  2. Rehearsal 1992- Dylan's 30th anniversary concert.
  3. first errr second pre season game may 27 in Sask. @ 4 pm pacific WAIT- that will be the first pre season game or will it? conflicting data between the 'head/leader' board and the training camp day to day activities list https://www.bclions.com/schedule/ Roster shows Gregory Howell Jr RB 6'01 218 CFL rookie 85 yrds on 27 carries over 2 yrs with Dolphins and Rams Taquan Mizell RB 5'11" 185 CFL rookie 2017/18 16 yrds on 8 carries with da Bears Antonio Williams RB 5'11" 215lbs CFL rookie- one game of NFL- 63 yrds 2td I don't know about their playing styles, but the heavier 2 guys seem a bit light to be a 'power' back. Not very impressive, at all. Hope they are better than their numbers in the pros- BC will need a running game that isn't just the quarterback.
  4. Iirc "River Monsters' did a show on piranha, and found that you were perfectly fine swimming with those fish, as long as you weren't cut. Then followed up that story with an update; that in a different river basin, the piranha were now attacking un cut animals and people; due to all their 'normal' food being eaten by a larger invasive fish. When you are starving you will try to eat a lot of different things.
  5. I'd prefer if Snoop Dogs team does not win the 'sweepstakes" too much previou legal trouble for me
  6. Jays 25-21 46 games played out of 162 or 28.3% of season gone. 2.5 games out of the wildcard spot upcoming games 4 @ Tampa Jays are 8.5 behind the Rays. Time is starting to tick, louder and louder, time ticking away. Base running has been very, very, bad to me. Self inflicted wounds are the worst. Either get it together soon, or start selling off a few guys.
  7. I took a look, and it seems the story about the lady killed on the sailboat by a falling killer whale is now attributed to a gray whale.-Quite a case of mistaken identity- like were the people colour blind, and unable to tell the difference between 60 feet of whale, and 30 feet of dolphin? I did find: https://www.whalefacts.org/killer-whale-attacks/ There have been very few cases of Orca attacks in the wild, and most marine biologists believe that in most cases, such attacks are a case of mistaken identity, where the dolphin initially identifies the human as a prey animal. In these cases, the killer whale quickly ceases its actions upon realizing its mistake. One of the most dramatic examples of this behavior was the 1910 Terra Nova Expedition. While the expedition was crossing ice floes, a group of killer whales attempted to tip the ice over and spill the men and dogs into the water. However, most marine biologists believe the trigger for the attack was the dolphins’ mistaking the dogs’ barking for seal calls. There have been filmed instances where killer whales have tipped ice floes over to spill seals into the water where they can be killed and eaten. This makes the mistaken identity theory a logical explanation for the incident. Other recorded cases suffer from uncertainty about the dolphins’ intentions or whether the attacker was even a killer whale. For example, in an 1820 incident, sailors from Essex claimed that their lifeboats were attacked by killer whales but could not conclusively state that their attackers were Orcas. ............... In fact, there is currently only one case of a confirmed killer whale attack in the wild. This attack occurred in 1972 and involved a surfer named Hans Kretschmer. The attack resulted in him requiring over 100 stitches and could easily have resulted in a fatality. Other than that, the number of reported attacks in the wild is minimal, often with no attacks occurring in an entire year." .......... ^ that one was a surfer, hanging out around seals and got bit- likely by mistake, like a shark thinking he's getting a seal, not a prone surfer on his board.
  8. Orca have literally killed people in the wild and in captivity. AFAIK all 'wild' deaths of humans are from Orca accidently falling on 'boat' people after a big jump. In captivity the dolphins will occasionally 'snap', and there are a few cases of humans being drowned by the sea panda.
  9. It's looks like trading and drafting players that are just coming back from injuries, is not a good idea.
  10. If you build your team thinking those guys aren't going to play, you will be hosed if they do. The cost to move salary at that point will be huge.
  11. Unless Poolman starts the season with the team and Pearson joins them after the first month. That would be awkward wouldn't it?
  12. Is the panic in Toronto not like the panic in Vancouver, after the Nucks lost the finals? Some times the journey to the cup does not require detours or massive changes, it just takes one more year. Leafs had a good year, won a play off series for the first time/long time-it could be that they are finally on their way; but here come some massive changes.
