DR ELMORE the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your waitress is the Ohio Tax Dept and you anticipate owing the money on the property, which is property you don't even use! The friend portion of your dream speaks to an acquaintance who seems to be hiding something that is actually in plain sight - as plain as the nose on his face.
And the word of the day is: RAPPORTEUR!
DR CILLA LIZ - I second DR BEN's suggestion of Audacity.
My turntable also came with CAKEWALK PYRO which is very easy to use with a nice online manual. I would guess that some kind of software is included otherwise it wouldn't be a USB turntable, so check out what came with - it might be better than anything we have used so far....technology being what it is.

"TAR" TALK ahead.....
I would like to know just how long it took for each of the teams to complete the phone task and the "Legend" and "Lager" tasks. -Especially the phone task. I also liked how it was set up to purposely confuse and misdirect the contestants. I mean, with those five letters, my first guess would have been Mr. Kafka. ;)
And, yes, taking the four-hour penalty was just stupid. He could have just taken a half-hour break, and then started again. -Or was he not able to do that once he left the building? Did he essentially give up once he stepped outside? -And did that team have to do the Legend or Lager task?
DR Jennifer - As for the time-spam - and the sun coming up... The first team didn't depart for the first task until 9:46pm, so I'm guessing that they didn't start the major tasks until at least sometime around midnight.
MR BK - is this the movie in the notes?

I also received the Michael Feinstein/Cheyenne Jackson CD - The Power of Two.....most enjoyable.
BOTH cd's are keepers!
Luckily for me, there's nothing on TV tonight I want to see. CASTLE is a rerun. Most shows are in rerun mode tonight.
However, those who watch HEROES and TRAUMA, they are new episodes tonight. And ABC's new reality show at 9 is a fresh episode.
TAR spoilers......
Oh, and Brian certainly looks swell shirtless...who knew?

Last night I ordered from Amazon a slew of Straight No Chaser cds. Thanks to DR Laura's posted clip last week, I've become a fan. They have a concert special this week on our local PBS channel (which will, no doubt, be interrupted by many. many pledge breaks.)
DR derBRUCER this is what scares me a Blu Ray and updates - haven't had to do one yet.....but it's scary.
Be sure to check out the audio samples of Love With The Proper Stranger and A Girl Named Tamiko - we made several of them longer than usual. I think I'll go back to bed for a little while.
Plumbing vibes for DR JMK!

In my best Roger De Bris voice, "I'LL DO IT!!" ;D
As the suspect in the ambush execution of four police officers remains on the run, questions are swirling as to how and why Maurice Clemmons — an ex-con who at one time faced more than 100 years behind bars — was allowed to live free.
Clemmons, 37, of Tacoma, Wash., has an extensive, violent criminal history marked by volatile and unstable behavior, according to court records and news reports.
His criminal history includes at least five felony convictions in Arkansas and at least eight felony charges in Washington, according to The Seattle Times. He had a lengthy prison sentence commuted in 2000 by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who cited Clemmons' youth.
…
Clemmons also had at least two confrontations with police earlier this year. During one incident in May, according to the Seattle Times, Clemmons punched a sheriff’s deputy in the face and was charged with seven counts of assault and malicious mischief. In another incident, Clemmons was accused of gathering his wife, Nicole Smith, and young relatives and forcing them to “be naked for at least 5 minutes,” according to a Pierce County sheriff’s report.
“The whole time Clemmons kept saying things like trust him, the world is going to end soon, and that he was Jesus,” the report reads.
As part of the child-rape investigation, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office interviewed Clemmons’ sister in May. She said her brother was “not in his right mind and did not know how he could react when contacted by law enforcement,” a report reads.
“She stated that he was saying that the Secret Service was coming to get him because he had written a letter to the President,” the report continued. “She stated his behavior has become unpredictable and erratic. She suspects he is having a mental breakdown.”
Other relatives said, according to the report, that Clemmons claimed he could fly and that he expected President Obama to visit him to “confirm that he is Messiah in the flesh.”
Clemmons was found competent to stand trial earlier this month on the child-rape and other felony charges by a psychologist at Western State Hospital, court records show.
DR DERBRUCER - From the expediency of your customer service phone call, it sounds like there they might have be dealing with a "known issue". ???Oh, yes indeed. Memorex has removed all support (or any reference whatsoever) for our model. You can no longer download the firmware update we needed to see "The Dark Knight". Other user boards have commented that Memorex knows they have a lemon on their hands and are replacing all returned players with later models.
A hole has been unearthed. Whether this is the only hole remains to be seen. Cross your collective fingers, please.

Jane’s surgery lasted about 4-hours. Initially, the orthopedist had to determine if the head of the femur could be saved and whether the bone and shoulder joint could be repaired through surgical pins and plates. This turned out not to be an option so he went ahead and did a shoulder-joint replacement. Though this is a rare surgery and not frequently performed the orthopedist indicated that the procedure went beautifully and there were no complications.
As you might imagine, she is in a lot of pain which is presently being controlled through a semi-automated drug pump that Jane controls--with safety features, of course. After surgery, she spent about 1 ½ hours in recovery and then was brought to the room. Upon arrival, she looked like she had been mauled by a grizzly bear and was in significant pain. After a few hours she appears to have “eased into the pain” and is more comfortable. If you’d like to call her, the direct-line number is 541-201-4233. If she’s busy or too groggy she’ll let you know but I think the distraction will be good for her. She starts solid foods tomorrow and will probably be released on Saturday. She did get out of bed for a bathroom break while I was there.

I'll take a look for you, Jose.
Cold. Brrr. I see I must already start planning my return visit.
Cilla, you may have gotten Audacity with your turntable, especially if you bought an Ion brand. That's what we have. It's very easy to use. Most turntables supply you with some kind of software but if you don't have any the good thing about Audacity is it's free and you can download it here:
Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/)
If you don't have one, I recommend that you invest in a record brush as well. You can get them on line or an audio store may have one.
Even though I'm on vacation I'm up early.
Errands to run. Later, gaters.

DR Jane, I hope you take advantage of your drug-induced stupor to tell people exactly what you think about them. Such opportunities come so rarely.
You left a word out of that last sentence, Elmore. Was that "I like seeing plays where my friends are naked" or "I hate seeing plays where my friends are naked."

I hate seeing plays where my friends appear naked. I feel that's WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

Well, if JFK's favorite institution, Washington State Hospital, says it so - it must be so.

For readers new to the party, Washington State Hospital was where Frances Farmer was (mis?)treated.
I seem to have missed quite a bit.
I was shocked to learn of DR Jane's predicament, but glad that she is here and on the road to recovery.
Congratulations to DR elmore3003 on the Finian's recording and to DR Ginny's DH Richard on his ordination and to bk on his new milestone!
Welcome back to DR TCB and thanks for the stories and pictures - as well as swell photos from DRs Ginny and Julie.
jeff i'm so sorry to return with the sad news of your neighbor-my deepest condolences. i'm only browsing the posts and absorbing a fraction of what i read.
Thanks, George and JRand!
That one is my favorite, too, Laura!
And I really enjoyed seeing your photos, DR TCB. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Many thanks to DR der Brucer for walking me through how to attach multiple photos!
