So.. Just to get up to speed here, you are no longer vociferously defending IAAP like you were when people here were calling him out, and in fact declare it all to be "bullshit"?
What happened? Must be an interesting story...
Mike, comments?

They had a setup at the Fenway concert, people stood in line to play.. Pretty cool.

It didn't make a guess, but as i said, it's pretty poor at it, even from pics of the same year. I wouldn't get my hopes up about this program, it's only designed to save you a few typing steps, not as forensic software.
I don't know what to say to your question.. I will say it's the same guy I saw in 2005, of that I have no doubt.

Sounded like fun, so I gave it a try. I used scans from of Paul from pre-67 magazines, so as to "train" Iphoto. It didn't exactly work too well, it only guessed correctly twice after something like 50 times or so. Now granted, these pics are from many different angles, sharpness, distance, etc. Guess the next thing to try would be clear portrait, fully front facing pics. Funny thing, it guessed one pic of Paul to be George.

Sorry, I should have mentioned this sooner, it's a known problem, discussed at length on Proboards support. One thing I've noticed, if you perform an action, like click on "post", then the action goes through, you just get no page refresh. Or I could be wrong, anyone lose any work?
Anyway, they say they are working on it, so we'll see.

As I've said before, the closer we get to the truth, the louder and nastier the criticism will be. Where are the moderators? The moderators try not to be reactionary, if it becomes "pervasive" then yeah.. Gerry, you've made your point, keep making it however and you will find yourself out the door. Start your own.

ha ha ha Should of went with the "PAUL IS DEAD, BUT WE LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, BILL" t-shirt. Would that get your ass kicked at a McCartney concert? Well.. No I don't think so. But, wearing that at a McCartney concert would be a bit tone deaf, that's something you'd wear to a Lennon concert were he still alive. (in your face) "Nothing is real" is dropping a hint, more apropos.

Just wanted to welcome you: It's my first post on any such forum, so I've chosen by far the best one. Forgive my English spelling (as I forgive you yours). Being born in 1956, I can perhaps claim to be as old as rock 'n' roll. I know and love the music.
I got seriously ill about seven years ago and decided I needed a new interest as a displacement activity. I chose to go back to vinyl in a big way. I came across a pristine copy of 'More Merseymania' and looked in to its obviously dodgy provenance. I had no idea as to just how many worms could come pouring from one single can.
When I came upon this forum I was impressed with the quality of the input. I have come to admire many of the contributors, including Jarv, Doc, and of course the benign and sagacious JoJo. I hope to contribute in some way to the cause; it has genuine pertinence. Interesting story, and glad you found the ideas here of interest. The English spelling is fine, don't even mind the five dollar words..

I don't remember the song, I know it was early, could have been Day Tripper or Jet.
Not so much, this was the second time. When he came to the Garden in 2005, I could gave reached out and touched Rusty, SP was to the right of me, but still quite close. It was more surreal then, I know what you mean. Then, I was sorta studying him, this time I just enjoyed the shared experience. What I find fascinating is unlike any other performer I've seen, there is almost no.. Well ya know how sometimes people get bored and distracted and start wandering off for whatever reason.. Not so here. There is a lot of positive energy coming from the crowd, whether one feels that is justified is not the point.. It's just there.

What kind of crowd went to that concert? (young, middle-age, etc.) Well, up near the front it was older, we got the $$ for the good seats. Some grandkids scattered around.. The guy next to me, probably late 50's/early 60's kept putting his fingers in ears.. Hey man, if too loud, you're too old! ;D Having said that, from mixing with the crowd in the hour before the show, it was all over the place, little kids, teens, twenty-somethings, middle age, and retirement age. They had a demo of the new rock band thing, you could go "on stage" and play.. I didn't, although the person I was with tried to talk me into it, heh. So the game is done, they are just waiting for that magical 9-9-9 date. Fenway is cool.. Never been, now I gotta see a ball game there.

From where I was: No one spotted me oh well.. The odds were slim I know. There were plenty of movie cameras out there: tinyurl.com/m5dsnzI saw a couple of those people with the flip video cameras, taking pics of my section.. May end up in the movie.

Anyone who changes the "visibilty" option in their profile won't show up on the most recent users list. I won't say whether or not Jude does that to respect his privacy, but the fact that choosing that option gets you out of the list is public domain information.

Check and see if there is an exemption form you can fill out, not something from the college, but at the state level. Say it's for religious reasons..
I work at a "Uni", and haven't heard about forced inoculations of any kind yet, but we'll see. Not any more thrilled with the idea than you are..
What kind of penalty are they threatening? If it's being forced to leave the college, and if enough students refuse, then they will back down. Trust me, the last thing they want to lose is your tuition $$$, hit 'em where it hurts!

Yep, which is why there's barely anyone posting there. But I'm talking about power loving jonna, who constantly flaunted the "yeah i'm a prick, get used to it" attitude. Remember now, JoJo? Yeah I remember.. You actually took her seriously?

I'm thinking about seeing the Moodys again, although the day is not as convenient as Sir Paul's concert.. I'll be on vacation then. Actually on vacation now.. So I'll be around here to micromanage more often..

I'm tired of the "doctored" bull**itI'm tired of reading your posts. What are you doing here? I think he has a right to express his opinion as long as he's not taking an authoritarian approach, like telling you guys what to do. mumrikusstarr, you're lucky you weren't here when a mysterious and arrogant moderator decided to assign itself dean of NIR... Just don't act like this is a PIA playground, like I did What are you talking about? That moderator sounds like a situation at another forum. Btw, at that "other" forum, some here would have been banned about 100 posts ago.. Now, what we don't like is constant sidetracking of discussions that people find interesting by argumentative one-liners. Tolerant as we may be, (relatively) and speaking for myself, I have WAY less reservations than I used to about sending someone who continues to be a problem to the ban list. (just a click of the button) -
