DR George - EGG SALAD AT SUBWAY?? I wonder how long it will take for the bay area to catch on. I'm a HUGE fan of egg salad. I can't wait!
and there are doughnuts
Friday morning greetings from the train! We, and a bunch of hockey fans, are on our way to Chicago. There seem to be some other librarians aboard, too.
On this day in 1902, Mr. Richard Rodgers was born!

So DR Jane what did you have to do to get your books back on your new nook?
DR Jane, I enjoyed seeing your autographs!
We should have an HHW day of everyone showing their collection of autographs...I know that several of us have some.
And speaking of NOOKS, it was my understanding that they are getting rid of/going to stop making their TABLETS but not their regular nook ereaders. And they are not going to stop selling ebooks. So right now it probably shouldn't be a problem.
It's sort of confusing to me how amazon and kindles can be doing so well yet the numbers for B&N were so bad.
TOD:
I have a lot on the DVR from this week but likely won't get much of an opportunity to watch anything as I will be spending Saturday and Sunday volunteering at Salem's annual World Beat festival.
I will be at the tent for the India-US Friendship organization. The theme at our booth will be Bollywood! Some of my Hindi film posters will be on display and there will be a constant stream of Bollywood movies and or song picturizations running on the tv in the booth!

So DR Jane what did you have to do to get your books back on your new nook?
My books returned, well one did easily and the other I just needed to access my Barnes and Noble library and download it again.
With a bit of work I remembered how to download my Overdrive (public library) and get that working again. I tested I could download a book to be sure it was ok.
I did find where to add the 2nd email address. Basically all is fine again except for the annoying extra 5 books in my Barnes & Noble wish list that I have purchased. They even show I have purchased them which is why I can't remove them.
The Nook works as smoothly as a Nook will work so I am very happy.

I agree with you since the Nook HD is rated as the best reader except for the new iPad.
It is a shame the tablets aren't doing well.
With my Nook working properly I no longer consider switching to the iPad mini. I might though if the quality of the mini reader improves as the big problem with the Nook is the tablet part is just ok.
But believe it or not Meredith Wilson's biggest money making song was "Til There Was You" thanks to a recording by The Beatles!

Oh, and on our way to lunch we popped next door to the BOOK OF MORMON box office to see what they had for tomorrow evening. At $200 a piece we decided we'd pass.

We are relaxing in our room after a smooth train ride from Normal, a wild walk with the hockey fans from Union Station, a quick lunch, and a trip to McCormick Place to finalize my conference registration and purchase an exhibit hall pass for Richard. In about 90 minutes we'll make our way a few blocks north to the University of Michigan School of Information (Library Science to me) alumni reception. Hope their repast suffices for our dinner...
And I am hone from Toyland after a fantastic work session with Rob Berman, who goes off to Poughkeepsie on Monday to work on the new Steve Martin bluegrass musical.

This is not an expansion of the score Martin wrote for As You Like It, is it? That was bluegrass, which I know is his latest passion.
It is supposed to be near 100 degrees this weekend. :P

That is hotter than here. Our thermostat is currently reading 89 degrees. We have the air conditioner on. What a difference from a couple of days ago when I was complaining about the cold.
We lived for 13 or 14 years in the hot humid East Coast before we got a house with air conditioning. Why or why did we do that!!

Topic of the Day:
In my CD player: Judy Kuhn's "All This Happiness"* and right after that will be the original Broadway cast recording of "Kinky Boots."
In my Blu-ray/DVD player: Season 1 of "Smash." I know I have a couple of other things, but I don't remember what they are.
*I just noticed that at the end of the booklet for "All This Happiness," there's an ad for "Passion" on PS Classics, but it shows the original picture with Melissa Errico. Guess that CD was released before the finalizing of "Passion."
Hello Everyone:
I love A Good Egg Salad sandwich also. But it has to be with Hellmans Real Mayo.
I also sometimes add just a touch of mustard when I make it.

I'm an egg salad traditionalist. When you sneak in something like curry powder and don't tell me, I take it a little too personally.

Most of the books I read are from the public library & they are returned to the library. I move the Barnes & Noble books off my home page but can access & download them again any time I want.
The wish list is for books I want to purchase in the future. Once I purchase a book it should go away from the wish list. For some reason those 5 books are still in my wish list. Originally, before the darn shut down & reset they had me do I went from only 2 of those books to a very annoying 5. No one has any idea why this has happened.

I'm not sure if the actual kindle has a wishlist. I know there is one in my amazon.com account. Although I don't use it. But I might be able to get to it on my actual kindle. But since I have so many books backed up to read I don't really have the same problem that you do (having to purchase a book to read).
I still can't believe that you go from book to book not having piles of books/ebooks waiting for you. I have so many books in my room, on my kindle, at netgalley and at the library that I won't run out for a very long time.
I don't spend enough time searching for free or discounted books.
Speaking of discounted, I'm currently reading the $2.99 version from B & N of "A Town Like Alice". It is my pic for my July book group discussion. I'm enjoying it immensely.

I love Judy Kuhn, so I enjoyed it. It was not a traditional "theater"-type recording, but a delightful, intimate recording. A small combo of just drums & percussion, piano and acoustic & electric cello (only three musicians) accompanies her. Unless someone objects to her song choices or the order of them, I think you'll like it.
Love the cartoon, DR Jane, and am thankful that I no longer live in Arizona during the summer months.
Re: The Great American Food and Beverage Company restaurant...
I worked at the one on 6th and Wilshire in Santa Monica....there was always a very long wait to get in, 2-3 hours on a Friday or Saturday night. Now it's a pet store.
We didn't even have a stage, just walked around and started a song whenever there was a lull.
Rickie Lee Jones once worked there, and so did Peter Tork.
Visiting friends and relatives always chose this restaurant and still think of it fondly.
I'm thinking DR Ginny may have gotten wet this evening.
De Paul was one of the composers of the songs and dances for the 1954 musical film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers for which he was nominated for the 1983 Tony Award for Best Original Score.
I'm thinking DR Ginny may have gotten wet this evening.
Fortunately, no, DR Jane. We were at the Michigan reception during the downpour. It was a nice affair and, as planned, we met up with my friend who's a librarian at the same university where my niece is golf pro.
To answer your earlier question, many library schools have official reunions during ALA, but this one was "off the books." I don't know why Michigan stopped having events that get listed in the program book, but I think it happened around the time they removed the L-word from the name of the school.
Sometimes Wikipedia tends to phrase their information in a pecular manner. Since I didn't know anything about Gene de Paul I sought out wisdom from the Big W.QuoteDe Paul was one of the composers of the songs and dances for the 1954 musical film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers for which he was nominated for the 1983 Tony Award for Best Original Score.
Strange?

The problem with "free" books is I tend to waste my time reading them.
We've got two projects coming up, both of which have had previous CD releases and ones where I've hated the covers. So, Doug has redone the art for ours - one version of one using the same art (the poster art) but removing a lot of negative black space that was pointless and making the title treatment actually look good. So, while that's the same art, it looks a million times better and actually has some dynamism now. The alternate and totally new cover is also very nice - much brighter, no black at all and kind of a grabber. Which would you choose - you can't see them, but would you automatically go to the poster art, or would you like something completely different. Of course, we could do one on the front and the other on the back of the booklet - then people could choose. What do you think.

Boy, Chas and I are really full of posts this evening.
One of those specious Blu-ray sites that one loves to hate - just went on and found a message that I've been issued a permanent ban, like it was there idea. A few weeks ago they sent me yet another of their endless "infractions" suggesting I was posting just to incite. What I was, in fact, having the temerity to do was correct all their usual idiots from spreading misinformation and doing good Blu-ray releases harm. They don't like that. They'd rather have the idiots than someone who knows what they're talking about. So, I shot back a reply telling them to ban me permanently - yes, it was MY idea you insufferable bunch of Nazi twelve-year-old cretins. Not yours - MINE. Perhaps I'll have some fun in tomorrow's notes.

Can someone help me? I put a cd on my ipod, and when I try to eject it, it says: "The ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files in use by another application."
What does that mean, and how do I eject the ipod?
Wish I could help you, Laura. Did you try powering the iPod off?
