Next, I put in the James Bond film YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. I haven't seen it in a long time, so I thought I'd check out the transfer, especially since Amazon is offering a sale today of all four Bond sets for 65% off. A great deal (comes to about $6 a movie for each two disc set), but I don't need to replace any of the Roger Moore ones, and the sets scramble the various Bonds around in them. You can't buy JUST the Coinnerys or the Daltons.

I had NONE of them, and so I couldn't resist ALL four boxes (20 films) for $125.

JURY REJECTS NEW YORK TEACHER'S CLAIM THAT SCHOOL FIRED HER FOR BEING A WITCH

Tuesday , March 13, 2007

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. —

The jurors never fell under her spell.

A Long Island teacher who said she was fired from her job because administrators mistakenly thought she was a witch was powerless to do anything Tuesday as a jury rejected her claim and her $2 million lawsuit.
...

The school district claimed its decision came because Berrios did not get along with co-workers, had a condescending attitude and conjured stories about phantom injuries to her son. Her attorney, John Ray, said in opening statements that Berrios was a victim of prejudice from her school's principal, Andrew Albano, a born-again Christian.

Albano fired her after deciding that Berrios was a witch, according to Ray. Defense attorney Steven Stern told the jurors that Berrios had told co-workers about visiting a coven meeting, but was not fired for being a witch.

Instead, Stern said, she was a bizarre "storyteller" who fabricated tales that her husband was involved in a plane crash, and that her 2-year-old son lost his fingers in a VCR accident.

Berrios now works as a teacher in the Atlanta area.

Well, I guess NY's loss is Atlanta's gain!

If I didn't already have the Special Editions, I would have jumped for them, too. I know from screen captures I've seen that they look astoundingly good. On your new HDTV, they should be awesome.

The irony won't be lost on DR JRand56. Aren't Albano-Waite decks one of the the most famous tarot cards in the world?

I am terribly disappointed that network TV has nothing "new" to offer tonight other than "American Idol."

Cason could use my wife beater as a tent next time he goes camping!

We could all give Grease:YTOTWW's Max (aka "Slacker Danny") a run for his money.

Of course, we'd have to wear tight black jeans, slick our hair back and do a bad Travolta impersonation to match him.

And some would no doubt need to do a bit of "binding".

Good Morning, DR Michael S. -How are things in Florida? Any trips back to Montreal planned?

Thanks for asking.

Things are really nice down here in Florida and actually I am going to Montreal at the end of the month for an extended weekend. First time since the fall and I hope it isn't too cold.

Is it possible that Montreal is much on your mind?

Sadly, Mr. jeremy seems to be suffering from stretch marks and must wear a Navy blue T under his wife-beater.

Well, it's a Greek plural and not a Latin one. Jast as the plural of octopus is octopoi not octopi, since it's a Greek derivation. Makes grammatical sense to me. But, then, I was a Classics major.

Really? Back in those days, weren't the classics really just the current bestsellers?
