Well, you've read the notes, the notes were discombobulated, and now it is time for you to post until the discombobulated cows come home.

Good morning, all! The jerk above me crashed, banged, stomped about, dragged and dropped object noisily between 10 and 10:45 last night, after I had decided to goto bed around 9:45. So, after listen9ng to this ass for make noise for about 45 minutes, he left the apartment and never returned. Sometime after 11, I fell asleep, I was wide awake by 6:00am, pondering my schedule for today, so I got up.

I will shortly head to Toyland to print a ROBERTA score, since my full score is missing the last two pages of the Lindy Hop.  I will rebind my score for Act One and continue the error search. Then, at 12:30, I'm meeting a friend at 85th and Broadway for lunch. That's my day.

Thanks for last night's photos, BK!

More coffee.

I liked seeing all the old photos. My father was a professional photographer so I have loads of photographs. This was taken at Christmas 1952 with family and friends watching 9.5mm films. I'm at the front and my sister is to the left. My older brother is high up at right.

You'll note that I am properly attired in jacket and tie, as people were in those days, even when at home on holiday.

(sorry if this has gone into CinemaScope)

More rehearsal tonight.  I have to go early because for some reason or another the Parke Players from a couple of counties over wants to give us 20 light instruments.  I have to be there to help unload them and put them away.  I am hoping at least half of them are instruments we can use.....

I wanted to take a photograph of You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown for the weekly newspaper last night, but there were too many children onstage....the director said he would take a photo and send it to me.....  This is the result Cameron as Charlie Brown and Alex as Snoopy.  It's a nice picture but he didn't close the traveler and teaser curtains, so we get a nice view of the backstage wall as well....  That sure is BRIGHT paint! And neither of the actors seem too pleased to be there....what's up with that?  ;D

Good Morning Everyone and Bk,

I went on Amazon to write the review.  I am having problems doing it.  (Just like Adriana).
Its says I already have an account.  I don't remember , but I will ask my hubby later to assist me.

Then I will do a great review.  The Adriana character seems so real to me. Thats why I love her.

My "ASK BK" question (or anyone who wishes to answer):

I noticed in your photos last night the very skinny tie you were wearing.  I've noticed on various TV shows and award shows that the current male fashion trend is once more "skinny".  Skinny ties; skinny lapels.  I hate it!  How do you feel about it?

The only way to become a better actor is to do it.  Whether in class or in theater, just get up and do it.  And be fearless.

It was reported to 61 degrees here all morning.  Then the overcast cleared and it shot right up to 67.  Still nothing to write home about, but it's supposed to get to 80 or higher here today.  That can happen if the clouds stay away.  Then it's to be in the high 80s or 90 over the next four days.

Seriously though, since you have a Blue Ray player you are already set to stream. Take a gander at this link to see what is available to watch (you can search by actor, director, etc).

Big doings this morning.  I spent most of the morning going over the new site stuff and the good news is they've begun the migration.  We went over the last of the details, they've got the radio show page working and I uploaded a sound file to it and it works perfectly - those who've had annoying experiences with the show before are going to be thrilled how easy it is now - you literally just press play and that's it.  So, the main site is perfect save for the interviews, which will be there at some point soon.

The discussion board is also migrating so here's how that will work:  We still haven't figured out the calendar event thing, but that's not a biggie and they will continue working on it.  We think we've made it so that when you post it will take you right back to where you left off - as George and Vixmom said, the way the updated board went over we had to check that preference under modify profile, look and layout.  But we went in and if we did it correctly, that should now automatically be checked for you - if it doesn't work, then just go into modify profile, look and layout and you'll find the box to check - you can also set other preferences there.  Otherwise, we've tested it for a week and all seems well.  They will be adding the captcha feature next week for new registrations, and there will be the nice thing that if you click on the "haines his way" at the top of the page it will bring you back to the notes - we've never had that before and I like that idea.

The new notes that go up at midnight tonight will be posted to both the new and old versions of HHW, so even though the site may not have propagated fully, the notes will still be there either way - that will probably be the case for the notes posted on Thursday at midnight.  By Friday, the migration should be complete.  You may have to refresh your browser.

Now, here's the most important part as regards this discussion board.  As of midnight tonight do not post on the old board at all.  If you do, those posts will a) disappear, and b) cause problems for the migration.  How will you know when you can post?  As soon as you go to the discussion board and you see the new version.  How will you know it's the new version?  It looks slightly different - the home page will have your avatar at the top, and there are more discussion boards now, like one for the Hofstetter books and the other books.  It's pretty easy to tell - while it has a similar look, it actually is quite streamlined and attractive.

The discussion board is also migrating so here's how that will work:  We still haven't figured out the calendar event thing, but that's not a biggie and they will continue working on it.  We think we've made it so that when you post it will take you right back to where you left off - as George and Vixmom said, the way the updated board went over we had to check that preference under modify profile, look and layout.  But we went in and if we did it correctly, that should now automatically be checked for you - if it doesn't work, then just go into modify profile, look and layout and you'll find the box to check - you can also set other preferences there.  Otherwise, we've tested it for a week and all seems well.  They will be adding the captcha feature next week for new registrations, and there will be the nice thing that if you click on the "haines his way" at the top of the page it will bring you back to the notes - we've never had that before and I like that idea.

The new notes that go up at midnight tonight will be posted to both the new and old versions of HHW, so even though the site may not have propagated fully, the notes will still be there either way - that will probably be the case for the notes posted on Thursday at midnight.  By Friday, the migration should be complete.  You may have to refresh your browser.

Now, here's the most important part as regards this discussion board.  As of midnight tonight do not post on the old board at all.  If you do, those posts will a) disappear, and b) cause problems for the migration.  How will you know when you can post?  As soon as you go to the discussion board and you see the new version.  How will you know it's the new version?  It looks slightly different - the home page will have your avatar at the top, and there are more discussion boards now, like one for the Hofstetter books and the other books.  It's pretty easy to tell - while it has a similar look, it actually is quite streamlined and attractive.

Hoo and Ray!! ;D

DR George.  Support at my library is very nice about responding quickly to my emails.  I was told
there is an audiobook copy of "Dog Tags" on the OverDrive site, but no eBook.

I used to confuse the two when putting hold on books.  Might you have done that?

No, I searched by title...both versions would show up in the results.  When I searched by the author in our OverDrive site (the titles that Timberland specifically had ordered), NOTHING came up for that author.

Migration has officially begun - for most people it will take anywhere from twenty-four to forty-eight hours and you may have to refresh your browser or empty your cache, as your computer may cache the older version of both site and board.  But for some people the migration could happen in ten hours or less.  Again, don't post on the discussion board after midnight tonight UNTIL you are on the new board.  The topic will be there for you to post in.

Wednesday morning greetings!  About 9:45 last night I got a text from my sister that they were taking shelter at their nearby hospital because there were tornado warnings in their part of Michigan (they live in a manufactured home).  We texted back and forth until she called at 10:15 to tell me they were home and all was OK.  Now, should I tell our mother?

It's over. I wouldn't tell her. It's one less thing to worry about/deal with.

That was how Bryan felt when he didn't tell us about getting mugged, that is until he let it slip.  I would have preferred hearing sooner.  So what if I worry, as a parent I do anyway.

DR Ginny I wouldn't tell your mom because she is older and doesn't need the stress.

I think in DR Jane's case she should have been told since she would find it eventually.

Only way I might have found out is by asking how he got the scar on his face.  Since we have only talked on the phone & not skyped I don't know when I'll notice the scar.

Oh...I guess I didn't explain it correctly.  When I said that I searched the OverDrive site, I meant the site that I, as the Acquisitions Supervisor go to, to actually order the titles from the OverDrive company.  It's their database of everything that they offer for sale to libraries...ePub books, downloadable audio books, downloadable movies, etc. 

After I order whatever the selectors have selected, it takes a couple of days but those titles show up in OUR (meaning Timberland Library's) OverDrive site, on OUR library's OverDrive webpage.

Clear as mud? ;)

Jennifer, it's really simple: After midnight tonight CA time, DO NOT POST.  When you come to the discussion board and see the NEW BOARD, THEN you can post.  If you see the old board, DO NOT POST.  As I've already said (and will reiterate in the notes) the new board does not look like the old board - it's similar, but has a new design, your avatar will appear on the home page of the board and that's all there is to it.  For some the migration will happen more quickly than for others - please be patient.  We had the same deal when we did the board originally and when we did the update four years ago.  It will take the time it takes and then we won't have to ever do it again, hopefully.

Good morning, all! The jerk above me crashed, banged, stomped about, dragged and dropped object noisily between 10 and 10:45 last night, after I had decided to goto bed around 9:45. So, after listen9ng to this ass for make noise for about 45 minutes, he left the apartment and never returned. Sometime after 11, I fell asleep, I was wide awake by 6:00am, pondering my schedule for today, so I got up.

I will shortly head to Toyland to print a ROBERTA score, since my full score is missing the last two pages of the Lindy Hop.  I will rebind my score for Act One and continue the error search. Then, at 12:30, I'm meeting a friend at 85th and Broadway for lunch. That's my day.

Thanks for last night's photos, BK!

More coffee.

You'll note that I am properly attired in jacket and tie, as people were in those days, even when at home on holiday.

Just talked Donald through how he'll load the radio show and he LOVES it.  So much easier - he always had to break up his shows into four separate mp3s and Real Player.  The latter doesn't exist anymore on the new site, and he now does the radio show as one mp3 only - that he simply drags and drops into his form and when he saves that page, the show is loaded and for you dear readers, you just go to the radio show page and you'll see a player there and you just click play and listen.  No buffering, no herky-jerky listening experience - smooth as silk.

Chas, give me your phone number so that I can call you at three, and tell you to stop posting.

Jennifer, it's really simple: After midnight tonight CA time, DO NOT POST.  When you come to the discussion board and see the NEW BOARD, THEN you can post.  If you see the old board, DO NOT POST.  As I've already said (and will reiterate in the notes) the new board does not look like the old board - it's similar, but has a new design, your avatar will appear on the home page of the board and that's all there is to it.  For some the migration will happen more quickly than for others - please be patient.  We had the same deal when we did the board originally and when we did the update four years ago.  It will take the time it takes and then we won't have to ever do it again, hopefully.


I hate change!  I guess all old people do.

I liked seeing all the old photos. My father was a professional photographer so I have loads of photographs. This was taken at Christmas 1952 with family and friends watching 9.5mm films. I'm at the front and my sister is to the left. My older brother is high up at right.

You'll note that I am properly attired in jacket and tie, as people were in those days, even when at home on holiday.

I just meant that it would be easy to read the posts and forget to not post.

Also, like DR Jane I sometimes check the board on my ereader.

BK, after the new day switches over, can you lock tomorrow's day of posts until it's all migrated and done with?  Just put your first post saying that it's locked until the migration is over, then people won't be able to accidentally post when they shouldn't.

Hey, I was going to say that!


Which one?  You have three quotes to choose from.

I must go and try to finish a certain book in which a certain young lady is missing and another certain young lady is trying to figure out what happened.  Although I must confess that I'm not particularly fond of The Music Man.  I know...as an Iowan that's probably illegal or something, but it's true

I've started the book and have gotten up to chapter 9.

Personally, I love THE MUSIC MAN.  Probably because I played Tommy in the Tacoma production.  It was my first musical, so I have fond memories.

THE GETAWAY appears to have a commentary track hosted by Nick Redman, which is always a wonderful discovery.

In this case, it's a "discovery" because the damned disc menus are in KOREAN.  I kid you not.  

The disc came from Walmart.  But they've been coming from Amazon that way, too.  Outer case, totally normal.  Disc label, totally normal.  The film and features all play the way we like them to play, but the danged menus are in Korean, so it's trial and error to find anything.

Watching something pretty amazing, about which more in the notes.  It will be really hard to go a day without posting - it's the only downside of doing the switch but let's all reconvene as soon as possible and welcome in the new board with a huge number of postings.


It is going to be terrible tomorrow.  But thank you, Bruce, for doing this for us.

Working, and then the beginning of the second weekend of "Cinder Edna."  Of course, after any break, shows can be a little off...but I'm going to have an especially interesting show because I'm going to switch the microphones and give everyone new numbers in the hopes that it'll help resolve the problems that they've been having.  I can only hope that it'll help!

Remember, I'm posting the notes to both old and new sites - the old site will still have the Unseemly Button until everyone is migrated to the new - they don't want me to change anything I'm doing.  However, the line about the Unseemly Button will not be on the new site and the two halves will be as one there.
