Well, you've read the notes, the notes repeatedly used the line, "Barbara, take off your pantyhose," and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're trying to get their pantyhose ON.

Hello from Amsterdam!   I'm staying in a very strange hotel.  My room has hardly any light and the tv doesn't work.  The woman at "reception" is going to let me change rooms later. 

On a happier note, I went to see the Brooklyn Singer last night.  The audience was really enthusiastic--so much so that she did an extra (brief) encore.  I think it may have been one if best concerts.

Good morning, all! Another poor sleepless night and strange dreams mixing fact and fiction, including one about my Aunt Jean's home on Hamilton-Mason Road in Hamilton, Ohio, and her neighbor Ted Chapin of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization, his wife, and two sons - he has two daughters! - but the sons were more like Sam and Mike, Tom Jones' boys. Then I had a dream about a reality tv show and a person caught in a fire.  It's good to be awake.

Today, I am off to Toyland. I have several things to correct, notes to correct, and two lyrics questions to answer.

DR Jane, I love the Windling-Datlow collections of fairy tale retellings. I would guess there are about six different collections from them.

National Doughnut Day is on the first Friday of June each year, succeeding the Doughnut Day event created by The Salvation Army (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Salvation_Army) in 1938 to honor the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Doughnut_Day#cite_note-Holey_holiday-1) The holiday celebrates the doughnut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doughnut) (a.k.a. "donut") – an edible, torus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus)-shaped piece of dough (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dough) which is deep-fried and sweetened. Many American doughnut stores offer free doughnuts on National Doughnut Day. In 2009, both independent doughnut shops[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Doughnut_Day#cite_note-lamarsDonutDay-2) and large national franchises offered free doughnuts in the United States.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Doughnut_Day#cite_note-LATimesDonutDayKKreme-3)[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Doughnut_Day#cite_note-bostonGlobeDonutDay-4)[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Doughnut_Day#cite_note-eatonDonutDay-5)

DR Cillaliz, re: Weight Watchers.

Have you heard of the yonanas machine?  It takes frozen fruit and when you put it thru the machine it comes out like soft serve ice cream (if you freeze it the texture is like regular ice cream). You can put peanut butter or chocolate chips thru the machine too. But if you just use fruit it is supposedly zero points.

I would highly recommend this machine. I use it every week and have not eaten ice cream since. I know you can get it on amazon.com. And Bed Bath and Beyond and probably other places in the US. So good.

We watched BEHIND THE CANDELABRA last night.  (Thank you, George.)

I thought it was interesting and quite watchable.  Michael Douglas was certainly believable as Liberace.  And, I loved Debbie Reynolds as his mother,

This morning, I couldn't help thinking how far movies and television have come since the 1960s-70s.

Back then, you could not get actors like Michael Douglas, Matt Damon or Scott Bacula to come anywhere near a project like this.

I had a publicity client, director Allen Reisner, who was set to do an episode of Marcus Welby, M.D., in which the guest star's character was "in the closet."  I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think words like "gay" or "homosexual" were even used in the script.  The character's sexual preference was just implied.

Reisner had a terrible time trying to cast that part, which was actually a pretty good one.  No actor with any name value would even consider it.  Finally, they cast Mark Miller, who had played Pat Crowley's husband on the Please Don't Eat the Daisies series.

It's been over 40 years since I've seen it, but I recall the finished episode as being rather bland and unsensational...probably because of network censorship.

Times have certainly changed...thankfully.

I forgot to log out yesterday when I left to sell tickets for the opening night of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN.  We had a nice audience of 174 in the 198 seats, so everyone was comfortable.  We did a booming business on the telephone and at the window for subsequent performances, tonight is nearly a sellout....so the $$$$$ keeps rolling in.

It is a sweet show....and the leads are all doing a very nice job.  All the little kids, for all their annoyances, were really excited and as they waited in the lobby to make their first entrance, I went by and gave them all a HIGH FIVE.....so we are OFF and RUNNING for season 52 of PUTNAM COUNTY PLAYHOUSE.

Good morning....

Need some vibes for the coat show.  The show is fine, but we may be losing a cast member today, however.  It's all very vague and evidently rather serious (with the law involved).  Don't know who it is, which is frustrating, but they can't tell us.  I'll find out this morning just how much it will effect the show (we opened last night).

Oh the joys of middle school....

I am shocked, shocked, to report that I mostly enjoyed seeing GATSBY. 

Baz's main sin in this one isn't music or visual extravagance, but some unrelenting fast cutting when you'd really like to have another damned second or two to take in the scene.  Surprisingly, though, there are a few places where he does restrain himself. 

The 3D is all depth, with none of the in-your-face stuff.

He tells the story, but I'll have to re-read the novel in order to know whereof I speak, as it's been about 15 years since the last time I did so.  Got me back into it, though, and made me want to see the other filmed versions to reacquaint myself with what's what.

Nah, it's not sacrilege.  Just different strokes...

When I first discovered Krispy  Kremes it was a match made in heaven.  Loved 'em beyond anything, especially when I could buy a dozen right off the production line.   Those things would melt in my mouth and were beyond anything I'd ever tasted. 

Today, I enjoy an "occasional" Krispy Kreme.  I relish the certain je ne sais quoi-ness about them...but one certainly makes an impact on my digestive system these days.

My appendectomy was also during third grade.  In fact, it was shortly after that that I announced I didn't want to be Chuckie any longer, and would everyone please call me Charles.  What a year!

Thanks, DR JRand!  The windows on the front of the house are the living room (with the flag, now gone) and the master bedroom.  Those are 12-foot windows and we have another one on the back (breakfast room) and a 10-foot in the family room, also on the back.

I didn't start wearing glasses until I was about 14 years old.

I wore contacts for a while when I was acting but people said since I was a character man I should probably keep the glasses. I also got tired of the maintenance so I stopped wearing contacts many, many years ago. I wore as gas permeable contact lenses instead of the soft lenses because at the time I had astigmatism and soft lenses didn't work well and were outrageously expensive. I'm glad now I don't wear lenses anymore.

Most of the ones in the Northeast and Midwest closed because they blew their wad expanding way too fast and they couldn't sustain it.  Now, in most areas, you have to buy the ones in stores.  If you're lucky, a roadside gas station/convenience shop, such as the one on the Hutchinson River Parkway, will have some fresh ones in the serve-yourself case that were just baked and delivered.

But now that I look at the sign, "New York Style" and "Vienna" are two separate elements.  So, they could certainly have served a hot dog in the style of a New York one (with the cooked onions-in-sauce thing, for instance?), but using Vienna brand wieners.  That would work.

Amazon.com is now taking pre-orders for the Blu ray issue of "That Touch of Mink" being released by Olive in July.

If any of you has the DVD, you know what awful condition the source for that was in.  I'm hoping that Olive worked this deal with the Grant estate and had access to a decent print of the film, if not the camera negative itself.

Earthquake also has the comedic scene when the elevator falls and when it lands cartoon blood flies into the camera.


Found in IMDB:


Why is there animated blood in the elevator crash sequence? 

In the theatrical cut of the film (not the "television version," where this shot is excised), "cartoon-like" animated blood is "sprayed" on the camera lens when the elevator hits the bottom of the shaft. The effect is poorly executed, and ruins an otherwise nerve-wracking scene.

There are two main theories as to why the animated blood sequence was created, but first the facts must be addressed: After reviewing call sheets and production reports from director Mark Robson's personal archives, the fan web site "earthquakemovie.com" has uncovered the fact that the elevator sequence was shot three times, on three separate days (March 26, March 27 and April 4, 1974). Whether this indicates that certain shots of the elevator sequence were simply spread out over three shooting days, or whether it was the result of the sequence being problematic (and thus, shot and reshot again) is unclear. What is telling, is the production report lists several stunt artist's injuries from the final day of shooting the elevator crash on April 4, 1974 (including Gary Epper and Stephanie Epper). The end result of the "animated blood" sequence in the final film is telling, since one of the theories hinges on the fact that shooting the sequence was problematic.

The elevator set itself was a three wall set built out of polystyrene plastic, which was suspended three feet off the stage floor (Universal Stage 27). The rig was held in place by water driven pumps, which were designed to drive the suspended set down at a faster rate than the 13 stunt artists inside would fall (thus, providing a "free fall" effect). As the set hit the stage floor, the polystyrene walls would collapse on the stunt artists. Also visible in the sequence are several areas of the set and of the stunt artists clothes, which have forming blotches of blood that last a few frames, revealing the fact that the stunt artists and / or the set itself was rigged with bladders of "stage blood" which would deploy on impact. This is visible for three or four frames prior to the infamous "animated blood" shot.

Which brings us to the two theories:

THEORY ONE: Based on the problematic nature of the shooting, and the probablility that director Mark Robson never got what he wanted from the shot, he opted to "fix it in post production." Since the crash was shot three times over two weeks, the break in shooting between the second and third attempts suggest this was time for the special effects department to continue working to get the effect right. After three attempts, the plug was pulled on the scene (and possibly due to the injuries sustained by the stunt artists on the final day), and an optical effect was added in post. This theory is further supported by the fact that the optical effect of the animated blood was superimposed over a still frame of the elevator crash, with the stunt artists splayed about on the elevator set, and not a moving shot (the moving shot may not have worked).

THEORY TWO: This theory holds that Robson finally got the effect he was after from the sequence on the third try. Crashing elevator, falling stunt artists, and splattering blood, which would have been a very effective (and gory) sequence. However; the MPAA rated "Earthquake" some time around October, 1974 (for a November 15, 1974 release date), and the violence and gore of the scene may have been a red flag for the MPAA to slap an "R" rating on the film (remember, this was 1974). An "R" rating on "Earthquake" would have doomed the picture, cutting out the huge teenage market, so the scene may have had to be cut. With little time to reshoot the scene (and likely, no money), Robson opted to cut the scene and add the animated blood optical effect in post production, rather than cut the scene earlier or some other option.

Regardless of the motivation for Robson and Universal opting for the animated blood option, the scene made it into the final print of the film.

Good morning, all! Another poor sleepless night and strange dreams mixing fact and fiction, including one about my Aunt Jean's home on Hamilton-Mason Road in Hamilton, Ohio, and her neighbor Ted Chapin of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization, his wife, and two sons - he has two daughters! - but the sons were more like Sam and Mike, Tom Jones' boys. Then I had a dream about a reality tv show and a person caught in a fire.  It's good to be awake.

Today, I am off to Toyland. I have several things to correct, notes to correct, and two lyrics questions to answer.

DR Jane, I love the Windling-Datlow collections of fairy tale retellings. I would guess there are about six different collections from them.

Those Earthquake scenarios for the animated blood are foolish fan dribblings.  This was a FILM, not TV show - it certainly could have taken all three days to complete the sequence if the sequence included all the shots from before the crash through the crash - that's a complicated sequence of shots and therefore I don't see any of these other scenarios.  They don't state what the actual injuries to the two stunt people were - if they were really serious they would have been listed in the production report.  Furthermore, it's rather ludicrous that this guy thinks the MPAA would slap an R rating on the film for a few blood squibs - he says, "remember, this was 1974" - by that time we'd had The Wild Bunch and Straw Dogs, and something as mild as a few squibs would not cause a problem for anyone - and a simple look at other scenes from the film that have lots of blood on folks and much worse than a few squibs renders this fanboy's premise silly as can be.  The animated blood is ludicrous, but so is the rest of the film, save for the actual earthquake effects.

DR Cillaliz, re: Weight Watchers.

Have you heard of the yonanas machine?  It takes frozen fruit and when you put it thru the machine it comes out like soft serve ice cream (if you freeze it the texture is like regular ice cream). You can put peanut butter or chocolate chips thru the machine too. But if you just use fruit it is supposedly zero points.

I would highly recommend this machine. I use it every week and have not eaten ice cream since. I know you can get it on amazon.com. And Bed Bath and Beyond and probably other places in the US. So good.


Wow, Jennifer, I was going to ask if anyone had tried that machine.  I saw it in a catalog last night, but I was not sure it would work.

Amazing! The complete works of J.S. Bach (154 CDs worth of material) on a tiny 32GB UBS flash drive. For under $200.

Wow...that's amazing!  Amazon lists it at $317.62, but there are sellers who are selling it for as little as $254.29.  Where is it listed for under $200?

It's $182.75 at http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/r/Teldec/2564661127

DR Jrand62 - I am curious which version of CHARLIE BROWN is being licensed nowadays. Is it the old, "traditional" version of the show, or are some of the additions of recent years (such as "My Philosophy") now included?

When I was in a local production in 2002, we performed the revised version.  A couple of years ago, another local production (covertly, I think) used parts of both versions.

Third grade was about when I started wearing them, too.  I'd been terribly nearsighted all along, but I didn't know I wasn't seeing any worse than anyone else, and no one else figured it out, either, till one day when I asked my grandmother, who took buses all over Columbus, how she always seemed to know which bus to get on.

My appendectomy was also during third grade.  In fact, it was shortly after that that I announced I didn't want to be Chuckie any longer, and would everyone please call me Charles.  What a year!

By 3rd grade I had long ago put a stop to being called Janie.  Or I should say for the most part.

I work with a woman whose legal first name is "Janie."  It's not a nickname.  However, she goes by "Jayne"...just not legally.  And my sister's boyfriend's name is "Larry," not "Lawrence"...but his older brother's middle name is "Lawrence."

I know I speak sacrilege to some but I was never taken with Krispy Kreme. I encountered many of them when I toured the South and they had outlets in NYC for a while (the franchises were not as successful as they hoped) so I've tried them but I don't find anything special about them.

Amen!  They were far more successful when they were difficult to find, and when people had to drive for miles to reach a shop.  Once they became accessible, the novelty wore off.

I don't care.  I still love 'em!

DR Cillaliz, re: Weight Watchers.

Have you heard of the yonanas machine?  It takes frozen fruit and when you put it thru the machine it comes out like soft serve ice cream (if you freeze it the texture is like regular ice cream). You can put peanut butter or chocolate chips thru the machine too. But if you just use fruit it is supposedly zero points.

I would highly recommend this machine. I use it every week and have not eaten ice cream since. I know you can get it on amazon.com. And Bed Bath and Beyond and probably other places in the US. So good.


Wow, Jennifer, I was going to ask if anyone had tried that machine.  I saw it in a catalog last night, but I was not sure it would work.

It is fabulous.

I have had mine for more than a year. My niece got my sister one for Mother's day. AT my niece's party I was showing some people how to use it and one kid made his mom go out and get it that afternoon.

You freeze fruit and then defrost it for about 10 minutes and put it thru the machine. You get soft serve ice cream. I don't love the taste of plain bananas. So I use bananas for 1/3 of my recipe.

My favorite (and my niece's favorite) is peanut butter, mixed berries and bananas. It is their version of pb & j and is so good. I harden it in a lock n lock type container. And the next day I take the container out of the fridge and put it under hot water for 30 seconds. ANd then it tastes exactly like ice cream. Only no sugar and junk in it.

I've also made it with chocolate chips. I use all kinds of frozen fruit. Bananas and strawberries I freeze myself. Other fruits you can buy in those bags at the grocery store.

I use mine every week and store it in the freezer. This is my favorite kitchen gadget ever. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Well, it's time for me to leave for the theater.  Tonight is the last evening performance of "Cinder Edna."  We'll also be recording the rest of the performances, starting tonight.  It's a special hard drive recorder that's hooked up to the mixing board, so it just has to be turned on just before we start and turned off when the show is over.

Then, all that'll be left are two shows tomorrow at 1:00 and 4:30, and the 1:00 performance on Sunday...then it's over!  AND I should be home in plenty of time on Sunday for the Tony Awards!

Just finished "Behind the Candelabra." Very well acted. Loved the music. Found the script to wander a bit too much and the direction wandered, too, though not always at the same time.

I knew Debbie Reynolds was playing his mother, but I didn't recognize her. I did recognize Dan Aykroyd and Scott Bakula. Did not recognize Paul Reiser.

Rob Lowe may have been my favorite of the supporting cast. Genuinely creepy.

Thanks Jane.  I was an angel.  The littlest angel.

Third grade was about when I started wearing them, too.  I'd been terribly nearsighted all along, but I didn't know I wasn't seeing any worse than anyone else, and no one else figured it out, either, till one day when I asked my grandmother, who took buses all over Columbus, how she always seemed to know which bus to get on.

My appendectomy was also during third grade.  In fact, it was shortly after that that I announced I didn't want to be Chuckie any longer, and would everyone please call me Charles.  What a year!

By 3rd grade I had long ago put a stop to being called Janie.  Or I should say for the most part.

I work with a woman whose legal first name is "Janie."  It's not a nickname.  However, she goes by "Jayne"...just not legally.  And my sister's boyfriend's name is "Larry," not "Lawrence"...but his older brother's middle name is "Lawrence." 

That's almost as bad as:

Lowe's Home Improvement Stores
AMC Loews Theatres
and of course ... Lerner and Loewe


Sorry, but I must.

Why hasn't anyone here mentioned how many total days, hours, and minutes they have been on this site?

32 days, 1 hour and 4 minutes.


109 days, 18 hours and 0 minutes.

Has anybody been able to access the new HHW board on their kindle?  I tried deleting my history, and cookies. But it still goes back to the old board.  The only other thing I can think of is to type the title of today's notes into my google search.

 :(

Have you tried putting the cursor in the URL field and hitting "enter" (or the return button)?  Or have you tried going to the column archives and getting to the notes that way? 


I will try this. I tried deleting my bookmark of HHW and then manually entering it after I deleted my history and cookies.

I think if there was another link to get to the board that wasn't haineshisway.com/smf then it would work.


Use it without the smf and it will take you to the new notes.

Well, it's time for me to leave for the theater.  Tonight is the last evening performance of "Cinder Edna."  We'll also be recording the rest of the performances, starting tonight.  It's a special hard drive recorder that's hooked up to the mixing board, so it just has to be turned on just before we start and turned off when the show is over.

Then, all that'll be left are two shows tomorrow at 1:00 and 4:30, and the 1:00 performance on Sunday...then it's over!  AND I should be home in plenty of time on Sunday for the Tony Awards!

Be back later!


I thought that last year THE TONY AWARDS were shown live on the West Coast.  Regardless, they are tape delayed this year

Yeah, especially since everyone would pick Vibes.

Finished Father Goose and am starting something else.


I got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the sand
Lots of idle fingers snap to my command,
A pair of lovely heels to kick to beat the band,
Contemplating, nature can be fascinating

Add to these a nose that I can thumb,
And a mouth by gum have I
To tell the whole damn work, if you don't happen to like it,
Deal me out, thank you kindly, pass me by.

DR Cillaliz, re: Weight Watchers.

Have you heard of the yonanas machine?  It takes frozen fruit and when you put it thru the machine it comes out like soft serve ice cream (if you freeze it the texture is like regular ice cream). You can put peanut butter or chocolate chips thru the machine too. But if you just use fruit it is supposedly zero points.

I would highly recommend this machine. I use it every week and have not eaten ice cream since. I know you can get it on amazon.com. And Bed Bath and Beyond and probably other places in the US. So good.

No, I hadn't heard of it.  I'll have to check it out as it sounds like something I would love.  And yes almost all fruit and veges are 0 points

well the Vixter had gone to be at work at 6:30 AM today and when she got home she was in charge of keeping the basement bailed out  - Vixdad only arrived home  minutes before I did as apparently trains don't run in the rain - and then he had to wade through the parking lot to get to his car

Movie night was great fun.  Some friends hang a sheet on their garage and show a movie. They've been doing it for a few years and it's always a good time.  Different people show up each time and we have beverages and munchies until it's dark enough for the movie.  I could see a lot of stars overhead tonight.  It's in the 60s so it was a bit cool, but a lot of fun
