No, and it makes me crazy, would love to see it. If I'm remembering correctly, they can't find a DVD distributor that meets their needs, something like that. If there's one person who "heard it all", it was Harry who spent many a drunken time with John.. Not that the movie would talk about that, but he had an interesting life for sure.

I dunno, this code is a java based thing that is grafted on top of the board's main software, and as such, it may or may not work. I thought it did what it claimed to do, but after some experimentation, it does indeed only catch a small length of time, not every single post.
So.. we're back to square one.. Two posters who are at each other, both adept at the turn of the phrase. Hmm..

You have some interesting ideas, and I like to see old threads given a bump here and there, but ya kinda lose me with the Pearl business.

Tied to a cookie actually. A board like this is not like Usenet.. Surely you see that, moderating your own?
The poster you mention crossed a line pretty quick, even for here where the goal post is set pretty far. (as some may feel) Went on an anti semitic rant that was pretty brutal.. (banned, yeah) He went on to threaten to kill Barry on another board soon after.. Guess you know how that turned out for him.

Some must have heard about this by now, apparently a global warming research institute's emails and documents were posted on the internet and places to download the enclosing zip file have multiplied exponentially.. Hundreds of private e-mail messages and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.
The e-mail messages, attributed to prominent American and British climate researchers, include discussions of scientific data and whether it should be released, exchanges about how best to combat the arguments of skeptics, and casual comments — in some cases derisive — about specific people known for their skeptical views. Drafts of scientific papers and a photo collage that portrays climate skeptics on an ice floe were also among the hacked data, some of which dates back 13 years.
In one e-mail exchange, a scientist writes of using a statistical “trick” in a chart illustrating a recent sharp warming trend. In another, a scientist refers to climate skeptics as “idiots.”... More at: www.nytimes.com/2009/11/21/science/earth/21climate.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=hacked&st=cseGood discussion: tickerforum.org/cgi-ticker/akcs-www?post=118625 And: tickerforum.org/cgi-ticker/akcs-www?post=118702Just my 2 cents, but from reading this emails, the concern amongst this group seems to be far more about keeping the "skeptics" at bay, for example talking about ways of stonewalling freedom of information requests than about discussing the science they are supposed to researching.

A review of the concert LB went to: www.theweekender.com/music/REVIEW__Wilson_rsquo_s_lush_harmonies_at_the_Kirby_11-12-2009.htmlThat only 887 people turned out in the 1,832-seat venue is not something Northeastern Pennsylvania should be proud of. Wilson is not only a living legend — McCartney has said The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band” was influenced by Wilson’s Beach Boys music, and without Wilson there’d be no modern indie-rock movement — he and his band are also performing at a top level.What a shame, but the economy is a lot to blame too I'd think. Same thing happened at the Henley concert, probably half full. But, we got upgraded from nosebleeds to orchestra seats for free.

Yeah, wish I could have found the time to go to the Lowell performance, and like I told LB when he alerted me that Brian was nearby, I would have been glad to hear nothing but Smile, beginning to end.
While LB was seeing Brian, I saw Don Henley. Don is OK, great storyteller, performer and backed by a stellar band.

Faulible did a double post, I deleted the second one.
The computer you are using is putting up a cached page rather than the updated one, so you may find refreshing/reloading the page brings up the correct, updated version.

Anything I scan/upload, I always source. However a lot of photos make their way here by way of some web site or another, and the source of the pics is lost along the way. Fair use is tricky, best to not a post a boatload from one book, but a few here and there don't raise too many alarms. I got a cease and desist email for doing the "boatload" thing once, but.. I ended up becoming friends with the author, strange how things work out..

LOL he's a great storyteller, almost has you believing in parallel universe day trippers. Not bad mashups either.

Hi there Peter. I appreciate your quest to find rare Beatle issues, I'm a collector myself, but given the ideas discussed here, you probably won't get the response you are looking for.. This is not so much (well not even close to) a Beatle fan site so much as it's about the Beatles' (unknown) story.
You did tuck your requests into the correct section which is appreciated, but some might still see your posts as a bit of overload. Perhaps one post with a brief summary of what you are looking for would be better, the long drawn out cut and paste makes it hard to understand what you want, even for those who might know something that could help you.

Yeah that was a real long time ago, the bandwidth was probably terrible, and the means to save something like that didn't exist in the forms we have now. Chances are slim that will turn up.

www.examiner.com/x-2082-Beatles-Examiner~y2009m10d28-Paul-McCartney-reveals-what-inspired-new-song-for-DeNiro-filmPaul McCartney has revealed what led him to contribute a new original song to the movie "Everybody's Fine."
The song, "(I Want To) Come Home," was written the night after he attended an early screening of the film. He felt a deep connection to the material and began writing the song that very night, according to a statement issued Wednesday.
He collaborated with composer Dario Marianelli on the orchestrations and created an intimate song. As we reported previously, the new music compliments the themes of the film and serves as a final grace note to the moving story
The film, written and directed by Kirk Jones ("Waking Ned Devine"), is the story of a widower, played by Robert De Niro, who embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect.
“I could definitely identify with Robert De Niro’s character because I have grown-up kids who have their own families,” McCartney said.
"Everybody's Fine," a Miramax film, will be released nationwide on December 4.

www.maccablog.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=6309Paul McCartney was one of the performers Monday night at "Chance and Chemistry: A Centennial Celebration of Frank Loesser" in Broadway, New York City.
Numerous Broadway actors ran through Loesser's more famous numbers. Such known songs as "Some Like it Hot", "Once in Love with Amy", "The Inch Worm " performed by Phyllis Newman-John McMartin, Abby Cadabby, Elmo, and Cookie Monster who claimed he had been hanging around the green room eating "C-O-O-K-I-E-S!! with Paul McCartney. He then screamed back stage for Paul to save him some C-O-O-K-I-E-S!!. Other notable songs "sit down you're rocking the boat", "What are you doing New Year's Eve?", "Baby, it's cold outside", "Luck be a lady", Adelaid's Lament" and finally "On a slow boat to China" performed by Sir Paul McCartney.
Paul told a story at being a child and having family get together at their house and his dad at the piano playing many of the songs that he later found out were Frank Loesser's songs. He thanked Frank Loesser for all of the great family memories of the family singing the songs in the front parlour. Song started with Paul walking up to the band conductor and asking him if he knew "On a slow boat to China" to which he shook his head. Paul shrugged his shoulders and walked away and then the band started. As soon as he started singing it, I instantly recognized the song. It was a really nice, sweet rendition of the song which was done impeccably.
Paul took the stage at Broadway's Minskoff Theatre (home to The Lion King) at 10pm ET, near the end of the second act. He looked relaxed and happy in black suit, white shirt, no tie. He was introduced by Audra McDonald, who noted that she was jamming to The Beatles Rock Band earlier that afternoon.
A song followed by Jo Sullivan Loesser and then John Stamos and then they all came out for a final bow. Art Garfunkel who had performed "Two Sleepy People" left right after performing and was not there for the final bow. Security was tight and cameras were quickly acted upon. It should be noted that Paul's company MPL owns the rights to the songbook of Frank Loesser and he was a co-chairman for this event.
At the end of the night Paul returned briefly on stage to take a bow with all of the show's performers, including Art Garfunkel, John Stamos, Mario Cantone, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nia Vardalos and Michelle Lee.
One funny note: During the first act, there was an appearance by Cookie Monster, who joked that he was hanging in the green room backstage, eating cookies with Paul McCartney. "Save me a cookie, Paul!" he shouted.
Here you can watch a video illustrating the song On A Slow Boat To China, sung by Gabriela Koch :www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3sPOuDQuAA

True, what's identical still is the eye spacing, nose, chin, ears.. Only the skin and hair changed.

Someone might find this interesting.. www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/2009/10/23/2009-10-23_study_of_identical_twins_reveals_how_habits_like_smoking_and_tanning_can_dramati.htmlAt age 61, identical twins Jeanne (l.) and Susan no longer look exactly alike. Susan (r.) smoked for many years and is an admitted sun worshipper, habits Jeanne does not share.
A new study of identical twins shows the dramatic effect bad habits such as smoking, sun exposure and yo-yo dieting can have on our looks.
Sun exposure, smoking, alcohol intake and stress levels all have an impact on appearance and how old you look, according to new research published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and reported in Allure magazine. Some sets of identical twins were found to look almost a decade apart in age.
Among the 186 twins studied were sisters Jeanne and Susan, who looked exactly alike growing up, according to Allure. But Susan took up certain habits that Jeanne didn’t.
Susan spent a lifetime lounging in the sun and now lives in Florida, while Jeanne resides in Ohio and avoids harmful rays. Susan also averaged a pack and a half of cigarettes per day for 16 years before giving it up in her late 30s, while Jeanne never smoked.
And now, the sisters can see major differences in the way they look.
“Susan looks ten years older than I do,” Jeanne dishes in Allure. “In fact, when we meet new people I’ll say, ‘She’s my sister,’ but I never say she’s my twin.”
According to the study’s research, this drastic differences in looks caused by our lifestyle are not out of the ordinary, even in those with the same DNA.
Taking birth control pills can make women look younger, while taking antidepressants, drinking alcohol, smoking, being divorced and having heightened sun exposure all made case studies look older.
There's good news for middle-aged women carrying a few extra pounds: Additional weight fills in and softens wrinkles, making heavier women look younger, study author Bahman Guyuron explains in Allure. For women under 40, however, being overweight has the opposite effect, obscuring youthful features like a smooth jawline and causing facial skin to sag.
