Most of the local teams at the HS level around here made it to State, and lost. It's funny. The small schools were happy to make it to State, and Manhattan was crushed to lose to Lawrence.

March 11, 1970, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young released their first LP "Deja vu". It topped the pop album chart for one week and generated three Top 40 singles: "Woodstock", "Teach Your Children", and "Our House". In 2003, the album was ranked #147 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

29 years is lenient.
Aggravated murder can be 25-life for each count.
She pled to 3 counts of manslaughter so each count is 9 and a third years.

And good parents foster a love of reading. If you read, you are connected to the best of high (and low) culture from years and centuries past. And if you feel adrift from your own contemporary schlockerati, you have some sense of continuity that bypasses the current morass.
You also note that people from your favorite eras complained that they too were living in a vast moral and cultural wasteland.

The Death by Porn article is pretty disturbing. First of all, it's Mexico. Second, it appears to be some sort of internet connected electronic billboard which was 'hacked' to display pornography. The firefighter climbed the billboard hoping to disable the display which he felt was going to cause traffic accidents. But he fell to his death.
It's a disturbing trend of constant hacking, yet no one is ever caught. It costs billions of dollars in constant software updates, and prevention software when taking one of these punks out and putting a chunk of hot lead into them is really what needs to happen more often.

A senior Democratic politician has claimed that the salacious sex acts alleged in the unverified "Russian blackmail dossier" against President Donald Trump are "absolutely true".
Congresswoman Maxine Waters is the first US politician to say on the record that the document, which alleges the Russian state has compromising sexual and financial information on the President, is genuine.
"We already know about the part about the coverage they have on him with sex actions is supposed to be true," Ms Walters told US broadcaster, MSNBC. "They have said that's absolutely true, some other things they kind of allude to."
She did not provide evidence to back up her claim or reveal who had said it was "absolutely true".
Pressed for more information, she said: "You understand that I am saying the investigations must be done, the drilling down must be done. We must get to the facts of what it has been about."

Now, when I hear them, I just want to go on an axe-wielding multiple killing spree where I'm
holding an axe in each hand, have axe blades duct-taped to my shoes and am carrying a smaller auxiliary hatchet between my teeth.
...but...uh...yeah, they're okay albums.
In my defense, i feel the same about Burger King hamburgers after working there for two years as well.

To be considered kosher, Sabbath-observant Jews must supervise and sometimes handle the entire winemaking process, from the time the grapes are crushed until the wine is bottled and any ingredients used, including finings, must be kosher.[1] Wine that is described as "kosher for Passover" must have been kept free from contact with chametz, examples being grain, bread and dough.[2]

Thanks Bruce! I though it would have to involve some type of oversight by a Rabbi and not just the maker slapping a "kosher" symbol on there.

So i called the City and asked "what are your guys doing???" And of course they said "we haven't done anything, and we don't have anyone working there." So I said at least let me file a complaint. And I sure didn't touch that water.
As the day went on and I came and went, I saw multiple city water vehicles in the neighborhood, lotsa guys working, and finally all the fire hydrants within a quarter mile were turned on and let run for hours, which I know is what they do to flush the system. And the water got clear again.
So I called the head office back up and thanked them for finally fixing whatever it was that they broke. And all they said was "we didn't do anything." And I said "but your guys were all over the neighborhood, all day!" and she just said "no they weren't."
Eh. I didn't used to realize that Monty Python was a documentary.

Has he tried applying to the state?
(You're in NJ, right?) They are very sensitive and receptive to hiring
"mature" applicants. I'm pretty sure I got my job there by mentioning
during the interview that I knew "it was difficult to get a job at my
age" (55 at the time). I forget what the context was, but I swear that
worked.
Here's a link to the Judiciary jobs that are available.
It may take a while, and some jobs require a test first (8th grade level
if you ask me) and it seems to me he would be qualified for many of
them. Not all require a college degree, and most that do will allow you
to substitute work experience for college credit. The entire process for
me took eight months, but the pay is decent and the benefits can't be
beat.
http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/jobs/index.html
Also note that at the top of the page they give instructions as to where to find other jobs in different areas of the state.
Good luck!

Three days, I think, after I got to Schofield in Jan 73, I saw James Taylor at the HIC.
She came out for the third encore.
My first big name concert and it was a goodun.
His back up band did about 45 minutes of instrumental stuff then he came sauntering out on stage picked up his guitar and broke into Fire and Rain.
Yeah, he's an idiot when it comes to politics but his writing, playing and singing are on the all time list.
We do very few covers but generally throw in a couple out of Fire and Rain, You've Got a Friend (yeah, I know) and Copperline.

One of the first big name concerts I ever saw was James Taylor at Princeton University. He was playing in a big hall at the grad school, probably a few thousand people.
Right in the middle of his first song there was a loud *boom* and out went the electrical system. He played the rest of the show all acoustic without any electronics. You could have heard a pin drop. Forgetting his later politics, he could really sing back in the day.
And the best part of Carly Simon was her nightclub on Martha's Vineyard, Hot Tin Roof. It was only open in the summer and it used to get big name groups to this small summer club. I saw Peter Tosh there back in the day.

(Haven't read all comments. Forgive any redundancy.)
This one had me scratching my head. I guess you mean CSN&Y's first album. CS&N had released their eponymous album the year before. (He said with the confidence of someone who checked Wikipedia.)
I remember distinctly where I was, driving along, the first time I heard "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes." Who the heck are these guys, I wondered, rocketing to the top of the radio playlists like this!?!
Soon realized they were from other, familiar bands.
(Time magazine not long after had a full-page or maybe two-page spread tracking various rock "superstars" involvement in various bands.)

We use the word "pornography" to describe sexually explicit material that has no artistic value, other than to entice.
We've had this simmering underbelly to the music industry going on for a long time now, and the vileness of it is, in many ways, worse than anything that can be produced with a purpose of sexual enticement.
Thankfully it remains a small segment of the population, but those efforts that were being done, by the likes of Tipper Gore and others, were to question what effect this trash was having on young boys, mostly.
It was having a terrible effect, but it was easier to laugh at Tipper.

WikiLeaks CIA cache: Fool me once
There is literally no surprise here. The ubiquity of large systems having exploitable bugs, and the implications of this, have been reported on for decades.
Truth is, the US government isn't the early adopter here; Amazon, Google and Facebook are really the front-line developers of the surveillance state.
I'm sorry, but you missed the entire point in your blindness to reinforce "no, it really was the russians and this is just a big distraction and also a nothingburger."
The big takeaway is that Amazon *is* CIA. Google *is* CIA. Facebook *is* CIA. All US tech companies have CIA plants inserting exploits and backdoors on the job. There isn't much of a mystery what the agenda is for Jeff Bezos or Eric Schmidt. It is a knowable thing.
Trying to spin this that "it's no big deal" and "we already knew all of this" makes you look really really stupid and more and more people can plainly see this.

I was staying in Perth one weekend and I took a boat trip down to Freemantle. Very cool place, lots of great music, ocean and arts. I saw a couple nice tributes to Bon Scott including a mural under a bridge overpass that was really well done and a statue down by the harbor.
AC/DC is still Australia's best export.

The Supreme Court just codified SJW blasphemy into the legal system. Its taken the jury box away from the people and put it into the hands of judges. As soon as someone thinks they found a racist in the jury, they can run to a judge and they get to decide on the case.
The decision doesn't specify what "racism" means, but even worse, it doesn't specify that the racism has to take place in the jury. All it takes is someone being "racist." When? Maybe that tweet one day. Maybe a comment to a coworker. Maybe he voted for the wrong candidate.
This is chilling to an extreme. Justice Kennedy just betrayed a good 5 centuries or more of Common Law and the principles of self government.

I would have been one who would have laughed her off at the time, because Tipper Gore.
However, I'm not sure what she did was overstating the problem. What has seeped into popular music is not innocent. When you have pre-teens twerking to Miley Cyrus, that's not healthy.
Boys are hearing vileness in the form of extreme violence, and girls are hearing music that tells them they must be sexually active as soon as possible.
This stuff is more problematic than the biases being expressed by CNN and the rest of the mainstream media, because kids are hearing/seeing it. They're not watching the news or reading newspapers.

Sure it is. But we always drew the line at pornography being on the other side of free speech.
And this is one of those examples of government being right, so if they had been able to proceed without the preening of politicians and disingenuous prosecutors, we might have been able to have a conversation as a nation on what we will tolerate.
Instead, we have this.

My best friend's older brother got a copy of that Beatles album where the new cover had been pasted over the butcher one, and he was able to steam most of the second cover off.
Decades later, Milady and I inherited the Blind Faith chickie album from some relative's collection. (Still have both copies somewhere down in the catacombs.)
Then there was the late Beatles album I think they finally called Hey Jude but earlier had been released under a different name. (How can I not remember every bit of trivia I used to have at the tip o' me forebrain?) The copy I got had the 2nd name on the cover, but the first name on the LP label! Surely some kind of collector's item?

Once again, if you do not understand the topic, maybe you should save your sock puppeting for a lighter subject.
There's a vast difference between Jerry Lee Lewis and today's popular music industry.
Not the least of which, is the fact that Jerry Lee was ostracized from popular society because of his behavior.

For sure - always had a great show live and they certainly knew how to market their product for the OS scene
Last time I saw them was with my son who was into them at the time, but too young to go by himself so I went - totally amazed at the age mix there
Funniest moment for me - sitting next to a bloke about my age , outside having a smoke, and he asked me if I'd like to share a cone!
