Dear Sandra (and others):

Clearly, you are in need of some recipes, to break you of your pre-packaged food habits. I therefor suggest the following, all from the Good Eats episode, "Oat Cuisine."

First, here is a recipe for Steel Cut Oatmeal.

If you have more time, or are better prepared, here is a recipe for Overnight Oatmeal.

And, if you're up for a real challenge, I suggest trying this link.

Actually a 1,200 seat theatre is even a little big for Q. And does Vegas have a special Equity contract allowing ten shows a week instead of eight or will this be a non-union production? I know that Equity does allow more performances if the show is under 90 minutes, but that would mean cutting and/or eliminating the intermission... oh wait... that was what shows used to do in vegas.

Equity has special contracts all over the country. Even Ford's Theatre has it's own special "Historical Theatre" contract.

A show can run more than 8, full-length, performances a week if the producers are willing to ante up the money. They also would have the option of having two casts with a bunch of swings. *Going back to Ford's - when they run their version of A Christmas Carol, they have some 9, 10 and 11 shows weeks - they even had a 12-show week once. And that show is definitely not 90 minutes of less.

If the theatre is configured correctly, 1200 seats could work out very well.

In other words, anything is possible.

I'm just hoping that the Vegas run will have the same accessibility options that they provide in New York.

Reading about all the machinations behind the wooing of out of town producers for the Tony reminds me once again that NO show business awards are based solely on merit, and we all probably put too much importance on them.

Not even critics' awards are arrived at on merit alone. I'll never forget reading about the conference room war that erupted in 1972 between members of the New York Film Critics Circle who couldn't decide between Marlon Brando, Al Pacino (both for THE GODFATHER), and Peter O'Toole (for THE RULING CLASS). The critics went back and forth arguing the merits of the three fine performances but after rounds and rounds of balloting, none of the three men could poll a majority. So, who got Best Actor of 1972 from the august New York Film Critics? Laurence Olivier for SLEUTH, a choice who wasn't first pick on a single critics' ballot but who all of them could live with if their own first choice wasn't going to be selected.

I am NOT going to watch one of der Brucer's picks, Rosemary's Booboo. The film creeps me out. And I can't buy the premise, that the devil would pick someone with no bust at all to bear his child.

Maybe the devil is into little boys?

How excited am I? I just ordered fourteen...yes, I said FOURTEEN...CDs on Ebay. Well, they're a boxed set--of stories as told by one of my very favorite authors/lecturers, Mr. David Sedaris. I have read all of his books and they literally have caused me to get down in the floor and roll around in laughter and merriment. I can't imagine how I'll be listening to over 14 hours of his stories. Granted, it cost me $50 with shipping, but that's better than the $80 it would cost me normally...and this was brand spankin' new! Oh, things are lookin' up (oh! a Gershwin reference).

Re: Avenue Q and Vegas

I would be surprised if they didn't have alternate casts so they can do 10+ shows.

Jane · « **Reply #101 on:** June 11, 2004, 01:13:50 PM »

Yes that last one was gross.

My mother had a habit of roaming the house at night. Often she would cook oatmeal in a double boiler and it would still be warm and waiting for me when I woke up. She on the other hand would be sound a sleep.

I don’t use a double boiler, but I do cook it with more milk to water, as my mother did, but I add dried cherries along with a wee bit of raw sugar.

Reality tv news.

Last week the newest installment of Canadian Idol started. And I must say I'm loving it. On last night's episode they selected the top 32. And they seem WAY BETTER than last year.

Jane, you go to Images, Stretch/Skew and then under "Stretch" you type in 10 for horizontal and 10 for vertical.

Do I attach the photo first in the attach/browse box? I see the insert image icon but don’t see stretch/skew.

The infamous Times article that started all the discussion said there would be ten shows a week but didn't say if there would be alternate casts. It's not that easy of a show to cast... you need four people who can sing, act and operate puppets, an Asian woman and a short Black woman who looks a little like Gary Coleman. In New York, they cast four people who used to work for Jim Henson, although I'm sure that most future casting will be actors who are taught puppetry rather than puppeteers.

The ninety-minute rule I know of is what is in effect for the Theatre at Madison Square Garden; in order to do two or three performances a day of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, WIZARD OF OZ, etc. with the same cast, each show can last no more than ninety minutes.

Hmmmm....Canadians get to see AMERICAN IDOL but Americans don't get to see CANADIAN IDOL.

Somehow, this just doesn't seem fair.

Sandra · « **Reply #106 on:** June 11, 2004, 01:30:59 PM »

I'm sorry Jane. This is in a Paint document. "Image" is one of the menus at the top. Then you attach the Paint document on the Reply page.

And if "10" is too small, just put in a bigger number.

Sandra that is beyond me I will have to ask Keith. When you say Paint document do you mean like Photo Workshop, which is what I believe we have.

Thanks for the information.

Jennifer · « **Reply #111 on:** June 11, 2004, 01:42:59 PM »

DR MattH, I suppose if you have a satellite or live near the border you too could watch Canadian tv.

I get your point. But in Canada we watch a lot of American tv. I mean that is basically all I watch. The big shows here (Survivor, Friends ...) are mostly American. And we get all the same buzz about finales and new shows that you get.

Jason · « **Reply #112 on:** June 11, 2004, 01:44:04 PM »

Jane: Click on the START button. Go to PROGRAMS and select ACCESSORIES. Scroll down to PAINT. That's what Sandra's talking about.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #117 on:** June 11, 2004, 01:50:55 PM »

DRJANE I didn't have to resize your photo at all.

Right click on a photo you want to use and then click on "properties" as long as both of those numbers in "dimensions" are in the 400's, you are pretty safe in posting it as is.

It is only when one of the numbers or both are in the 500's or 600's that we go into w i d e s c r e e n! So just check the properties!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #118 on:** June 11, 2004, 01:53:03 PM »

For example, if you right click on your photo above and then click Properties you will see that the dimensions are 360x480 pixels, a perfect size for HHW!
