Westchester County sticks it to residents who don't recycle
4:13 AM EST, January 6, 2008
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.
Westchester County is warning residents to take recycling laws seriously _ or their transgressions will show.
Those who don't separate recyclables from trash may find eye-catching yellow "oops" stickers on their garbage cans this week. Starting next month, the stickers will turn a stern red, and the offending cans won't be collected.
The county government has sent nearly 50,000 stickers to trash-carting companies and local municipalities.
The idea is interesting. The stickers not only chastise the recycling offender directly but there is also an element of peer pressure and public shaming that goes into play. I assume that in order to issue the proper sticker, there will be some dumpster diving involved by the trash collection service which doesn't break any laws but who wants their trash rifled through?
Can't wait!

What did DR derBRUCER say about his birthday?
after I visit my barber in Radio City
DR FJL: Re getting her mink stole.....was a great joke on the BEVERLY HILLBILLIES for a couple of shows....and it's right up there with Miz Drydale's ailing hibiscus....and Possum Queen of Beverly Hills!
My DH's great Aunt has passed away in South Dakota at the ripe old age of 96. We have been asked to perform the memorial service on Saturday. Assuming we can scramble to make arrangements for Zach, we may be taking a quick trip toward the end of the week.

Yes, it's true.
There is a bill pending in the NY state legislature to change the name of WESTCHESTER COUNTY to SINGDAWLAND.
Henceforth, anyone who does not comply with local recycling laws will have a sticker with a picture of ME attached to their garbage cans.
THAT oughta scare everyone into compliance! :P

Shia LaBeouf is a very gifted young actor whose star is on the ascendant.
Miley Cyrus is the daughter of Billy Ray; she has a television show for Disney. Millions of screaming tweens know her as Hannah Montana.
So much for today's lesson in Pop Culture 101.
I have seen Shia in a couple of things and thought he was okay. I think his name is pronounced Shay, but it could be Shy - but it still sounds like something on the menu.
I reviewed a DVD from 2007 that I think was unfairly ignored at the cinema last year: THE HOAX about the Clifford Irving/Howard Hughes hoax. Richard Gere and Alfred Molina give excellent performances, and the whole corrupt scheme was SO ballsy. I really enjoyed the movie a lot and wouldn't hesitate for others who have an interest in learning more about the people involved.
(The DVD transfer, BTW, was kind of disappointing.)
I appreciate the lessons in Pop Culture 101. Maybe TD or another DR could fill the rest of us in from time to time, just so we don't feel like such ignoramuses (ignorami?).
My dear there are times where ignorance is a blissful thing... ;)
Even though he's gone
Hi, Ron!
What is this, my solo?
Gosh, I guess I'll have to start a frenzy.
For Ron:
I'll go my way by myself, this is the end of romance.
I'll go my way by myself, love is only a dance.
I'll try to apply myself and teach my heart to sing.
I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing,
I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own;
No one knows better than I, myself, I'm by myself alone.
I'll go my way by myself, here's how the comedy ends.
I'll have to deny myself love and laughter and friends.
Grey clouds in sky above have put a blot on my fun.
I'll try to fly high above for a place in the sun.
I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own;
No one knows better than I, myself, I'm by myself alone
Maybe you'll take us to page five singlehandedly!

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up...
...And I guess I should hit "Post" instead of sitting here like so much fish...
I figured you were being weighed down by something....like a Monkey Cake...or Levain Cookies.
I'm a bit sneezy/snuffly today. Don't know if it's the weather system or what.
And the word of the day is: CLIOMETRICS!Gepetto was very proud of his pet fish, who used CLIOMETRICS to help compile the data for her book about the history and travels of the great whale Monstro.
DR RonPulliam - How come I didn't know until now that you had YOUR OWN WEBSITE!?!?!? (http://www.snarkygossip.com/)
;D
Is there a day when you're not sneezy/snuffly?
<snark>
Am I the only one that has never ever heard of Shia LaBeouf?Probably.
Guess I misread the birthday post, DR derBRUCER, or I dreamed it....or it was one of the January 4th posts I read when I first arrived here this morning.
I thought a preamble was something you did before you took a walk.

(Kinda like Anne Hathaway showing off her clementines in Brokeback Mountain. Everyone from the Disney stable has to do it some time. Just ask Lindsay Lohan... oh, someone forgot to tell Lindsay that she wasn't supposed to do it in real life. :o)
My opinion, although it is worth nothing whatsoever:
I don't want to hear anything about New Hampshire until there is actually some news (which will be tonight after their polls close).
My opinion, although it is worth nothing whatsoever:
Ms. Spears can't get any help since they let her out of the hospital without treatment.
I guess I should just turn off the radio.
Good Afternoon!
...And now is the time of day where I must head into midtown to play some more of that groovy "Cassie Dance" music. :)
Laters..
Where's the LeBeouf?
I can't understand what makes for troubled, undisciplined people having pop music success, but I wonder if Ms. Lohan's troubled personal quirks may have figured into the complexity of some of her work onscreen. Personal demons and stuff like that there, i mean.
I just scheduled the replacement window company to come to measure on Friday.

MY BROTHER, NIKHIL (2005).
I have introduced many people to this unsung classic...and all of them, (with the exception possibly of the Oz boys who forgot to turn on the subtitles), loved it. The first Bollywood movie to have a gay male story line.
Just to show you the state of publishing these days, Jeanne is reading a Val McDermid book (indeed a good writer - I have many of her mysteries). In her book The Mermaids Singing, there is an epilog. The book came out. Many were stumped by the ending of the epilog in mid-dialog at the end of the epilog's second page. Calls were made. Postings were posted. And in one of the kookiest spoos of publishing, no one at the publisher apparently looked at the book once it was printed, including Miss McDermid, or surely they would have realized there were five more pages to the epilog that simply were missing from the book. Copies were recalled from stores and the complete version was sent to replace them.
I actually have yet to have a Levain cookie in 2008. And I've been Monkey Cake free for at least 48 hours.

You just KNOW with that cast someone is gonna get murdered. Produced by Herman Cohen, so you just KNOW that there is gonna be at least one extremely HANDSOME young man in a supporting role....here there are two: Stuart Whitman and Dennis Cross, who probably learned early on that Cohen was the captain of the ship. Directed by Gerd Oswald who also directed the earlier film I wrote about.
Hello, and Goodbye!
Meetings, deadlines, and more meetings all morning.
Then a lunch meeting.
And now I'm popping off to sing a quick funeral.
Back later!
Am I the only one that has never ever heard of Shia LaBeouf?
And of course, DR JRand, just when I think I have a new person to hound for an interview, I find out that Dennis Cross died back in 1991! I have so informed the IMDB.
Evidently Dennis did not jump ship, as he ended up in more then one Herman Cohen production.

I ended my afternoon with AS THE WORLD TURNS. Yes, as DR Elmore intimated, the gay characters were on and stepping forward ever-so-slowly with their involvement.
They are college freshmen. Funny, but I had my first boy friend when I was a freshman in college, and believe me, we did NOT take it slowly (and this was the 1960s). So all this pussy-footing around with them is strictly a writers' construction to drag things out (or delay the inevitable; I'm guessing there will be temptations thrown in their paths that will even prevent them from getting together).
Dearest, darlingest DR PennyO, you do get around.

The most interesting thing about this album is that it has an EMI and a Columbia label on it. I thought EMI and Capitol were licensing partners--isn't that what the Beatles were out on in the UK and US?

I wonder if Gordon's ex singing partner Peter Asher is still producing CDs.
Three of my all-time favorite classical pieces in fine performances, although I do love the Charles Munch recording on RCA, which is sonically amazing. Milhaud (pronounced Meeyoh) is the berries.
UPDATE: Hmmm, the photo of the album cover didn't come across with the post I was quoting - I'm speaking of the Darius Milhaud CD elmore posted the cover of back on page seven.
PANASONIC DEBUTS 150-INCH PLASMA TV
LAS VEGAS — A 150-inch high-definition plasma TV unveiled by Panasonic is the world's largest to date, the Japanese consumer electronics company claimed Monday at the International Consumer Electronics Show.
The plasma panel features an 8.84-million-pixel image resolution. Its screen is the equivalent of nine 50-inch sets, with an effective viewing area of 11 feet, the company said.
It's a step up from Panasonic's 103-inch version, which cost $70,000 when it launched. The company did not say in a news release how much the 150-inch panel will cost.
Ooh! Ooh! I started

Speaking of which - I had a call a few moments ago from Jane and Keith - they are trying to get home, and the weather may or may not cooperate - the pass between California and Oregon can be closed at any time, due to freezing conditions and/or snow -

Nah, Alfred Molina, at least in The Hoax. Isn't it interesting that the Irving book came out in 1981 and it only took 26 years for someone to realize "Oh, there's a movie in this." Hollywood. I gotta tell you.
BK, regarding the YouTube Vidoes:
I use this program: http://youtubedownload.altervista.org/
It saves them as flash videos, then you can convert them to whatever format you want them in.
I have burned a dvd of the Dorothy Loudon clips, which I converted to Windows Video Media after having saved them.
I havent' dvd-ed the FOLLIES clips, though I have them saved onto my computer.
Well, bk, the Loudon clip dvd shall be copied for you presently.
I'll burn the FOLLIES shortly.

Interesting. (http://www6.comcast.net/news/articles/general/2008/01/09/Military.Gays/)
Eugene Fidell of the National Institute of Military Justice, a group of military legal experts, wonders whether the dwindling number of discharges suggests broader implications for the policy. "Is it dying basically for lack of interest?" he asks. "Military managers may be turning a blind eye because it's a nuisance, and we need these people."
