Hi Juan...Dan was an Illinois boy and I saw him perform in local bars around the college town where I lived back in the day, way before he was "discovered". A great and original talent in his own way. I heard this a.m. that Alan Parsons has also left this celestial reality. Death seems to pick...

Well my friend, one must consider the composition of fiddles. A fiddle is a resonating wooden form which is aurally animated when its cat gut strings tuned to certain frequencies are activated by drawing a bow strung with rosined horse hairs across them. A very mystical process which when...

I suppose that your daylight hours shorten there from March to September as ours do from September to March. It's the relative lack of daylight hours that triggers this stuff. As I said it's all relative. And since I've moved to the Southwest, the winter days are still shorter here and have...

I used to really suffer from this. Now that I've moved to a place which has sunny days even in the winter months, I don't have much of a problem with it in the "darker" months. I still take several vitamins and herbs which likely saved my life when I lived in colder and darker places, and...

Of all of the biological puzzles out there waiting to be solved, one of the most important is discovering just how the human immune system really works. This would alleviate much suffering in the world when you consider the susceptability of individuals to all diseases and the toll exacted on...

C'mon everyone. All this high falutin talk about satanic origins and all that. Anyone with half a brain (and I qualify) knows that the "devil" was created in the 60's on American TV by Flip Wilson. The devil, as everyone knows, is an amorphous, invisible, wretched presence that makes...

And you're a lawyer ! For shame. flow....:p

And what is even more disturbing about it all it that someone felt compelled to devise a test to formalize a ratings structure for all of this "sublime philosophical crap"! flow....:p

Hi Bob...My recollection is that a Father De Vaux ( or just Vaux), who was in charge of the custody of the scrolls for many years prior to Strugnell really played that role. However, while Strugnell was conservative in his approach to releasing information regarding the DSS, he did at least...

Despite the downbeat messages from the first part of this story, it sounds as if the Scottish fish farmers have got this figured out. Now to teach it to the Canadians, eh ? flow....;) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7142053.stm

Tao...If and when I visit Scotland, and more specifically your town, I will be sure to wish to meet you for a round or two at this establishment. As an aside, why are so many "flatulence" stories published in the press over there ? The inherent "naughtiness" of the male citizenry d'ya think ...
