"Despite Seattle's 19-17 loss at San Francisco on a field goal in the final seconds, our voters still believe the Seahawks are the top team in the NFL." source ESPN SO DO WE!!!

TOTAL DOMINANCE!! WE RULE THE NFL!

eh-hem now at the very top! Yes, we are now number one - numero uno. THE BEST RECORD IN THE ENTIRE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE!!! And Percy Harvin back ya'll!!!

This little 12th man was at the game yesterday in Atlanta, this is how we ALL feel after that game!!!

The players prove that they "care" about Seattle... Near Pike Place Market- And at work...

Is anyone here aware of what is going for the Seahawks fans? This team is giving us fans a great ride this season. Every game is exciting and unpredictable. But the skills, the level of play these guys rise to in the crunch .. amazing!!

just sayin'

Seahawks defy logic in historic comeback November 3rd. 2013 No team in Seattle franchise history ever had come back from a 21-point deficit. The most was a 20-0 deficit at Denver in 1995 when the Seahawks won 31-27. “What a day,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “This really is a tremendous statement about our guys hanging together and believing.” After stopping the Bucs on their first overtime possession, Seattle won it with a 27-yard field goal by Steven Hauschka. But the turning point of the game was a 71-yard punt return by Golden Tate late in the third quarter when Seattle trailed 24-14.

Whomever started this annoying "idiom" (if it can be called that) should be taken out back and rabbit-punched until they crap crayolas in all 64 colors! I hear it EVERYWHERE I GO! It's annoying as hell. Then when you tell someone it's annoying, they just follow up with... "I know... right?" &$#@!!

John Lennon’s former girlfriend May Pang recently posted a photo showing the Happy Days gang posing in 1974 with John and his (then) young son, Julian. She writes, “This was taken when John and I took Julian to Paramount Studios for a tour on his first trip to LA. We happened to stumble upon the set of HAPPY DAYS. It was their first season of the show and the actors were surprised by our onstage walk on.”

The Pawn Shop was a bit dissappointing in that the showroom space (much smaller than appears on TV) was taken up with "show merchandise". One can not blame them for capitalizing on the commercial success of the show and exploiting that for more lucrative and reliable results than they may get from actual pawned/sold merchandise. One of the coolest aspects of the drive out to the Canyon was traveling through the desert was seeing the Joshua Tree Forest, not the Nat'l Park in CA. There was hundreds maybe thousands - very cool! And a real road runner! ...zipping across the highway.

Arguably the most well known fictional reference to the events occurs in the 1975 thriller film Jaws in a monologue by actor Robert Shaw, whose character Samuel Quint is depicted as a survivor of the Indianapolis sinking. The monologue particularly focuses on the numerous deaths caused by shark attacks after the sinking. John Milius was specifically brought into the production to write lines for this scene and he based them on survivor stories. However, the speech states the date of the sinking as 29 June 1945, when the ship was actually sunk on 30 July.

And finally get to do it? Ever since I saw the Brady Bunch go to the Grand Canyon when I was 9, I've dreamed of seeing it. Countless people telling me no picture can hold its "magnitude". They were all correct. I just experienced it a few days ago. No words can aptly describe what is even too big for the eyes and mind to capture completely. Not as interesting as Yellowstone, but The Grand Canyon is in solid second place for most awe inspiring National Parks. No railings, this is Hualapai Tribe and located on tribal lands. standing at the rim is death defying. We did the skywalk, highly overrated. But we had to see for ourselves. And of course being in Las Vegas ...23 floor of the MGM signature tower 2 - the view... The hoover dam... -had to visit the worlds largest collection of classic cars including Johnny Carson's dads Chrysler he learned how to drive in... ..and what trip to vegas can be complete without stopping by the gold and silver pawnshop -where they film the Pawn Stars show on the history channel, I told the old man I had nothing sell or pawn today by we had a nice chat. He's really a warm guy.

Not to mention... thanks to all the armed citizens in Texas... 911 operators in the Lone Star State get more rest there than anywhere in America Ken...

Niiiice!

Oops, I fixed it. good catch Brad. I heartily agree. I haven't felt this way about a Bond theme song since 1977's "The Spy Who Loved Me by Carly Simon" How Ironic, somebody does it better, this time. Adele's Skyfall theme is so soulful, so rich, so powerful and so smooth. Amazing.

10.00am, Monday 11 February 1963 (50 years ago) Studio Two, EMI Studios, Abbey Road Producer: George Martin Engineer: Norman Smith On this day The Beatles recorded 10 songs of their debut album Please Please Me, at EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London. http://www.beatlesbible.com/1963/02/11/recording-please-please-me-lp/ Well, it was a very cold morning and I didn't know any of them. I actually had to ask Norman Smith, who was the engineer, 'Who are they? Who are who?' so he introduced me and everything else. They were very businesslike, and they just had come down into London from the gig they had done the night before. But they were fine, just like any other group that's coming in to record. We helped them bring all their equipment in and set it all up. Because they were rushing around the country all the time and their amplifiers maybe broke down or something like that, there were no backs on the amplifiers, you see; they were just boxes with their speakers. And as I was putting it all up, we'd look for dirt inside, but there were bits of paper lying around in there, and I picked them up. They were notes from the girls from the dance floor who threw them up on the stage—they said 'Please play this, please play that, this is my phone number.' I guess they just read them and then threw them in the back of the amplifier, all of these bits of paper in there! The first session began at 10am. The Beatles recorded 10 takes of There's A Place and nine of I Saw Her Standing There, which at the time had the working title Seventeen. The first session finished at 1pm and the studio staff took a break for lunch. The Beatles, meanwhile, had other plans. We told them we were having a break but they said they would like to stay on and rehearse. So while George, Norman and I went round the corner to the Heroes Of Alma for a pie and pint they stayed, drinking milk. When we came back they'd been playing right through. We couldn't believe it. We had never seen a group work right through their lunch break before.Richard Langham, tape operator The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, Mark Lewisohn The second session began at 2.30pm, and finished at 6pm. The Beatles began with work on A Taste Of Honey. The best version was take five, onto which Paul McCartney double-tracked his lead vocals. This overdub was recorded in two attempts, making the final version take seven. In between recording the basic track for A Taste Of Honey and the vocal overdubs, The Beatles recorded eight takes of Do You Want To Know A Secret, with George Harrison on lead vocals. With those two songs finished, John Lennon recorded a harmonica overdub onto There's A Place in three attempts, and handclaps were added to take one of I Saw Her Standing There. The final song to be recorded in the afternoon session was Misery, a Lennon-McCartney original which had originally been offered to Helen Shapiro. The song was recorded with the tapes running at double speed - 30 inches per second - to allow for a piano overdub to be laid down at the slower speed at a later date. This was added on 20 February by George Martin, without The Beatles being present. The third session of the day took place from 7.30-10.45pm, although it had been scheduled to finish at 10pm. The Beatles firstly taped 13 takes of Hold Me Tight, which was later reworked for their second album With The Beatles. Of this day's attempts at Hold Me Tight, only two takes were complete run-throughs. Five were false starts, one broke down mid-way, and four of the takes were edit pieces intended to be spliced into the tape at a later date. The final version was to have been an edit of takes nine and 13, but this was never made and the tape was later destroyed. The Beatles then recorded three takes of Arthur Alexander's Anna (Go To Him), followed by a single recording of Boys, the latter featuring Ringo Starr simultaneously on vocals and drums. Two more cover versions came next. George Harrison sang The Cookies' Chains, written by Goffin and King. Four takes were recorded, although take one was later decided to be the best attempt. The Beatles then performed The Shirelles' Baby It's You in three takes, with Lennon on lead vocals. By this time it was around 10pm, the time EMI Studios normally closed. The Beatles, however, still had one song to record. A discussion took place in the canteen about what this should be, and several suggestions were put forward. Someone suggested they do Twist And Shout, the old Isley Brothers' number, with John taking the lead vocal. But by this time all their throats were tired and sore - it was 12 hours since we had started working. John's, in particular, was almost completely gone so we really had to get it right first time, The Beatles on the studio floor and us in the control room. John sucked a couple more Zubes [throat sweets], had a bit of a gargle with milk and away we went.Norman Smith, sound engineer The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, Mark Lewisohn The Beatles had been recording Twist And Shout for many months, and regularly used it as a show-stopper. And so it was on this day, with The Beatles putting all their energies into one final electrifying performance, with John Lennon singing bare-chested. The last song nearly killed me. My voice wasn't the same for a long time after; every time I swallowed it was like sandpaper. I was always bitterly ashamed of it, because I could sing it better than that; but now it doesn't bother me. You can hear that I'm just a frantic guy doing his best.John Lennon, 1976 Anthology Two takes of the song were recorded, but the first was selected for the Please Please Me LP. Although complete, Lennon's vocals in the second take were too far gone for it to be usable. Everyone in the studio knew they had witnessed something truly special, and with the recordings complete The Beatles climbed the stairs to the control room to listen to the playback. Sessions never normally over-ran past 10pm. At 10.05 you'd meet half the musicians on the platform of St John's Wood station, going home. But on this occasion after the first playback they decided they wanted to hear certain songs again. I glanced at Norman and at the clock and said, 'Look, I have to be in at nine tomorrow morning. How will I get home?' Brian Epstein said that he would run me home if I played the tape again. So I played the tape and he drove me back to Camden Town in his little Ford Anglia.Richard Langham The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, Mark Lewisohn
