[=?iso-8859-1?q?Jamie=20Zubairi?= Subject: Re: vacation That is one I would love to produce. Maybe you guys can talk about it with me and we can do something in the Land O9 Jazz. The city has been striving to put more into the jazz scene locally and perhaps I can find a way to slip to wayward piano players from other metropolis9 areas into the local Jazz scene. We have a trumpet player named Maurice Brown who I caught with David Torkanowsky and Germaine Bazzile a couple months ago and he is unbelievable. He has a new solo album out which I don't have yet but is on my list. My best to you both and have fun.

I wanna go to Greece on vacation. I have produced video stuff in HD and seen it on the small monitors in the production trucks but not on my home 50" LCD TV. Anyone else have this shit? I am not going to be able to watch normal TV after this. I may have to take the whole damn thing back or get a 5.1 audio system to go with it. LOL!

People who mine the stuff have "issues" just like people who mine coal. Probably worse because it's radioactive, not "just" carbon soot. I don't think animals (like us, eh?) have any coping skills for radiation. Anyway, it's dangerous as it comes out of the earth, then we cook it and cook it and cook it, with all kinds of incredibly toxic acids and fumes along the way. Each step produces its own variety of poison with its own special storage needs. (Imagine this conversation: "Do you have some Pyrex to hold this battery acid and radioactive waste for a second while I decant this batch? Thanks. Oh, it's hotter than engine oil. Just hold it for a minute. We'll figure out how to store it later. Or not.") Then we make electricity. Amazingly, they used to call it "a remarkably clean" fuel. There is no coal soot (and no acid rain). Calling the by-products by one name "nuclear waste" doesn't begin to explain how complicated it is. BTW, you think the US is the worst actor? The last time I heard, the French govt. was selling uranium using electric plants to anyone interested. Can we talk about something pleasant instead? Here's a start: I found a 50 minute DVD of YES in concert circa 1979, today. Guess where? Wal-Mart. $5.88 US. Life is better now. Your turn.

Did you really use the word "geomorphology"? :) I defer to your more recent memory of geological time scales. That sounds right. I took geology around the Paleozoic age. I think it was 1969. Do you agree that there's almost nothing alive under there? While you pick at my details, you didn't come clean. Please tell me: Do you think Yucca Mountain is such a bad solution it needs to be stopped? If not Yucca, where? If not now, when? All the best, Lama ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 02:01:38 -0400 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today's Library Links: August 17 On August 17 the following articles were published: 1979: "Folksy, Jazzy, Glorious" - Milwaukee Journal (Review - Concert) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=844 1979: "Joni Mitchell at Alpine Valley shows growth as jazz performer" - Wisconsin Newspaper Association (Review - Concert) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=847 1979: "Joni Mitchell Lacks Audience Rapport" - Milwaukee Sentinel (Review - Concert) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=845 1979: "Mitchell loyalty reinforced" - Toronto Sun (Review - Concert) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=852 1998: "'60s spirit infuses Garden party" - USA Today (Review - Concert, with photographs) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=398 1998: "At the Woodstock Site, Measuring the Distance Between Then and Now" - New York Times (Review - Concert, with photographs) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=230 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 07:58:03 +0100 (BST) From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Jamie=20Zubairi?= Subject: Re: The Proofer Strikes Again! Funnily enough a few days ago I looked this up on google and yes, there are more hits for Zaccheus and Zacheus but there are a few for Zachius, which is how I learned about the story of Zac(c)he(i)us up in the sycamore tree. But I couldn't find any reference in the Bible of multitudes dressed in Exxon Blue or Radiation Rose. heh heh Much Joni Jamie Zoob SCJoniGuy@aol.com wrote: And of course another boo-boo, the misspelling of the biblical character in "Passion Play"...The CD spells Zaccheus' name as "Zachius", and I can find no other reference that spells it with an "i". Zacchaeus, Zaccheus, but not Zachius. When in doubt, leave it out. I've known what the song was about all along anyway without having to have it spelled out (incorrectly).
