"Alauno" Toilet
Matsushita Electric Works
Price: $2,300-$3,400
Afraid of waking the entire family with your nocturnal trips to the toilet? Two new features of the Alauno can help. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) placed strategically at the foot of the toilet and inside the bowl make this unit easy to find in the dark. And the flush is a mere 55 decibels, which is equivalent to the white noise in a library.
...They're Adler-Ross numbers, and I am certain you know many Coleman songs; he was a lovely gentleman.
...
Remember when he was the guest artist with the Middletown Symphony, DR Elmore? What a great evening!
Well, let me stop kvetching and kvelling here and get some things organized here, and then we'll see where my body and mindset are.
Laters...
Good morning, all! DR Edi, your song choices are not Cy Coleman songs, much as I love the singing of Mr Guy Haines. They're Adler-Ross numbers, and I am certain you know many Coleman songs; he was a lovely gentleman.
And the word of the day is: TURPITUDE!Casey would waltz
I am watching Die Hard right now.
HA! My roommates just woke up. I thought they were already awake and had headed out for the day. I think we're having brunch now. :)
I am sitting in a meeting. People are talking a lot. I am sitting across the room from a large picture window overlooking a beautiful valley. There are birds flying in and out of the trees. There is snow on the mountain.
That is all.
Procrastinate
Make this your motto day and night
Procrastinate
And you will never see the light
The apple on the top of the tree is always too high to achieve
Just take no example from Eve:
Procrastinate
With apologies to Mr Cole Porter
And no apologies to me? ;)
...I think Dear Reader Laura may have had contact with this man in need before.
Some great posts since I was here last!
Save your money CILLA LIZ - it's a great goal.
Congrats to DR DAKOTACELT on her year at HHW!
Well, I've played "The Brain" CD about 5 times now today...
...And I've been reading the reports about the ice storm in the mid-West... VIBES!~~~~~VIBES!~~~~~VIBES!I haven't gotten too much in the way of snow, just a tiny bit over night...I did try to get the snow blower to work this morning because we are expecting to get 4-8 inches of snow tomorrow or monday. No dice. I decided it was a very cheap model (relative to other snowblowers) and it's 5 years old, so I went and bought the newer version of the same machine.
DR Cillaliz - Have you been affected? How's John doing down in Joplin?

I will donate the old one to any group that wants it. Then all they need is a handy man who can fix it and they have a snowblower.
From what I understand Joplin is getting the ice and is expected to get it for 3 days. Jon took a duffle bag with clothes etc to the station when he went to work last night. No word on whether he made it home or spent the night there.
I haven't talked to him for awhile, but I heard he's enrolled in college again in Joplin. He's doing well, from what I hear. Think I'll email him.
Thanks JRand. I talked to my brother about it today. He agrees completely that it's time to move on and is 100% behind me. My goal is 6 months, but there are many things to factor in to the equation, so I'm not exactly sure when it will be. What I have decided is that it will be.
Back for but a moment - so much for the "day off" - I shall shortly be on my way to Vinnie's to do elmore's tiny wish list and then we shall wrap this sucker and send it on its merry way to our mastering engineer.
Go for it, DR Cillaliz! We're all behind ya here!
I loved the years when DS Rob was growing up and I was a free-lancer. Mostly, I taught at colleges, but from time to time would get a short-term library assignment or a consulting job. Of course, I couldn't have supported myself that way, but I sure did like the freedom and flexibility.
DR Elmore called me and let me listen to a few snippets (stingy!!) of the Brain CD
Which songs (or parts thereof) did our dear Music Scrooge allow you listen to, MBarnum?
Sooooooo jealous, Lar, sooooooooo jealous.

Just a tiny bit of BRAIN TAP and a smidgen of another one which I forget now...as is his way, he only allowed me enough to cause me torment.
Cason, you will be happy to know that your image will be plastered on the pages of Classic Images magazine when they print the short write up of THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X.
Well, if you'd call before 8 pm (that's 5 pm in California), I'd play you fascinating tidbits. I am so crazy about the Entr'Acte! Some of the vocalists make it hard to hear my work.
Any vocalists in particular? :P
All of Them!
As a licensed newly "carer" in the community you maybe able to help with this plea from my friend Michael in the Congo.
I am passionately contacting you based on the need for a trusted and
honest person, who I can entrust with the sum of US$15,500,000 (Fifteen
million, Five hundred Thousand US Dollars).
I think Dear Reader Laura may have had contact with this man in need before.
Later today, I will be heading up to my sister's house in Doylestown, PA--home of the James Michner Museum and the Cold-Eaze factory.
we ar now at 3 above!
We were given the assignment of making art projects.
Pssssh, I was promised dirty things were going to be said about me on here...
Kvetch and Kvell: I believe they handled my last court case.

We need a photo of "The Boys in The Band of The Brain."
Those boys in the band make Zubrick squirm, if I am not mistaken...
A happy-birthday frock for TPunk to wear while prowling the Gotham Jungle:

Wow! "The Brain from Planet X" in Cinemascope. How JRand56 1950s!
I've never seen this photo before. I must add this specimen to my collection.

I did use some credit I had and got a region 2 DVD of the entire run of Honey West - I confess I've never seen an episode but I love Anne Francis and it really looks like it might be fun. It only lasted one season - thirty episodes. These days what comprises a season? Twelve?
Soon I will head out for a mani/pedi
Thanks for the reduction in size of those photos, DR derBrucer. My computer won't load the large ones.

Moral turpitude is something lacking...especially among the righteous.
My dinner last night was AWESOME.
The rack of lamb was superb. The soup that preceded it was magnificent.
The two glasses of wine were perfection.
The creme brulee and coffee were heaven.
He was always heading toward a tabloid climax.
-That's what I was wondering about... If he's been iced in at the station.
That's what I'm talkin' about!
Hey, we do what we can. However, there were several moments in the orchestration that I made sure to listen for each night and never ceased to make me just laugh and laugh backstage. I'll be interested to see how those moments sound on the CD...

Official Attacks Top Law Firms Over Detainees By NEIL A. LEWIS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 — The senior Pentagon official in charge of military detainees suspected of terrorism said in an interview this week that he was dismayed that lawyers at many of the nation’s top firms were representing prisoners at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and that the firms’ corporate clients should consider ending their business ties.
The comments by Charles D. Stimson, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs, produced an instant torrent of anger from lawyers, legal ethics specialists and bar association officials, who said Friday that his comments were repellent and displayed an ignorance of the duties of lawyers to represent people in legal trouble.
“This is prejudicial to the administration of justice,” said Stephen Gillers, a law professor at New York University and an authority on legal ethics. “It’s possible that lawyers willing to undertake what has been long viewed as an admirable chore will decline to do so for fear of antagonizing important clients.
“We have a senior government official suggesting that representing these people somehow compromises American interests, and he even names the firms, giving a target to corporate America.”
Mr. Stimson made his remarks in an interview on Thursday with Federal News Radio, a local Washington-based station that is aimed at an audience of government employees.
The same point appeared Friday on the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, where Robert L. Pollock, a member of the newspaper’s editorial board, cited the list of law firms and quoted an unnamed “senior U.S. official” as saying, “Corporate C.E.O.’s seeing this should ask firms to choose between lucrative retainers and representing terrorists.”

Frequent vistors, these large birds (larger than the common white cousin) are Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos. They are difficult to photograph as the light and the background need to be perfect! DP Colin took this pic a few minutes ago.
I'm having trouble thinking of anything by Coleman that I haven't liked, too.
I do know that der B and I want to introduce the grandlads to Barnum (the musical) asap. (We'd introduce them to Barnum (the Michael) and he'd probably charm them, but he lives on the wrong coast.) We've got the DVD, we've got the CD.
Mani/Pedi - wasn't she in the Bond films?Not those in the cannon. She had a part in the Casino Royale spoof, however.

You have a DVD of Michael Barnum? Oh, I'm not sure the grandlads should see that, although I will take it off you hands!OOPS!!! Sorry, Michael, didn't think and the news just slipped out!!!
Die Hard spoiler...
Bruce Willis comes out on top.
DR TCB - Are you still snowbound?
Oh, I can get to the store during the daylight hours, but at night it is still pretty much an ice rink.
'night.
The vittals you et, were good, I'll bet
Was the company the same?
Hmmm....wonder if I can get Cilla's blood to boil?

DH Richard and I just ate pizza and watched his Christmas DVD, Awake My Soul, which DR Edisaurus brought to my attention. It's about Sacred Harp (shape-note singing) and Richard recognized one of the guys as someone who has been at some of the singing events he's attended. And he sang along with some of the selections!
Tomovoz-Interesting looking birds. Thank you :D\
Have you posted Black Cockatoos before?
Been mildly obsessed with the two youtube.com clips showing Yvonne de Carlo singing "I'm Still Here," one on the David Frost Show and one at the Hollywood Bowl. Neither is 100% perfect, with her going up on the lyric on the Frost Show at one point and repeating a section but still very exciting, and the Hollywood Bowl clip being interrupted for a quick second or two where I guess someone momentarily changed the channel while recording, maybe. (You can find it on youtube.com by searching for yvonne de carlo, of course.)
...them sounds like fightin' words!
"Brokeback Mountain"...
Or, as a lyric in The Brain goes:
Are they friend or are they foe
That's the answer we don't know
I can and will do it singlehandedly.
he is ambidexterous!
... he is is a wizard of talents we do not even know about derbrucer
"The Loin In Winter"
I like the added spice of surprise and mystery

Is Christmas Truce on DVD?
Narrated by Ioan Gruffudd (A&E's Horatio Hornblower) THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE tells the story of the spontaneous suspension of hostilities along the Western Front, when once and future enemies traded pieces of uniforms, shared Christmas rations, buried their dead together, and played games. Eyewitness accounts, the recorded recollections of those who were there, newspaper stories and military records help document this extraordinary occurrence, an event that in many ways symbolized the final flickerings of the world that ended as the Twentieth Century took hold.
Are we STILL on page nine?
No, we are not still on page nine.
That's the one! Not that I saw it on the History channel though.
