Well, you've read the notes, and can you believe that I'd already used the title My Lids Are Heavy? Who knew? And now it is time for you to post until the heavy-lidded cows come home.

And the word of the day is: CONSPECTUS!

I get the first post after bk? It's a miracle!

Congratulations to bk, DR Noel, and DR FJL [and Skip] for the raves from Peter Filichia.

I never did see a "round-up" review in the NY Times.

***SUPER-STRENGTH FUNDING VIBES***[/size][/color]
to bk today!
There weren't mailing the check, I hope? As today is a Federal holiday.
-
TOD: I have no idea how to estimate #s, but the answer is: too many. As DR Ron Pulliam has said, I like the idea of owning something so that I can watch/listen whenever the mood strikes me. But the reality is that most of us have far too little discretionary time to spend on such activities.
-
TOD
1117 DVD Titles (Where single show box sets, like Buffy Season #1, count as one title)
750 Shows/Classical (Again, titles, not actual disc count)
600+ Pop Music (never been catalogued)
Many DVDs on the "to watch list" (so little viewing time) (The new house has no curtains on the double windows on the main living room wall which makes quality DVD viewing problematic in daylight).

Enjoy your worm early bird! I would have beat you if I hadn't been fussing with media counts for the TOD

I would have beat you
Oh, thanks, DR dB - but I'm really not into that kind of thing. ;)
-
TOTD. I'll go with way too many. (at least 3000 CDs for a start).
-
Gee, ten posts this morning! This shouldn't take too long.

And the word of the day is: CONSPECTUS!
I believe that CONSPECTUS is the medical problem Ginny was referring to with people who don't drink lots and lots of water when they are taking Vicodin.
-
Good morning, Jrand57!
-
Good morning DR TCB.
Happy Columbus Day!!
-
Thanks for the link, DR NOEL.....high praise for ALL of the HHW connected musicals!!!
DR MBARNUM - as an Oregon State Employee - may be off work today, so he can buy some wires for his new TEE VEE and enjoy some viewing, hopefully.
-
Good morning DR TCB.
Happy Columbus Day!!
Yeah, GOODBYE COLUMBUS.
-
I, on the other hand, am working.
TOD:
I don't know...but I will estimate about 400 CD's, and the same number of DVD's. Still own several VHS tapes.....but don't watch them much anymore.
-
But seriously, Happy Columbus Day to you. We, meaning the employees of the State of Washington, gave up this day as a holiday years ago in exchange for the day after Thanksgiving.
-
T.O.D.
I confess. I have maybe 50 DVDs, and possibly 80 CDs.
I hope this doesn't get me thrown off the site.
-
But seriously, Happy Columbus Day to you. We, meaning the employees of the State of Washington, gave up this day as a holiday years ago in exchange for the day after Thanksgiving.
Ah....Indiana State Employees did the same, but it wasn't Columbus Day....it was another one....perhaps Veteran's Day in November. 8)
-
Well this week Mars turns retrograde and we will have a new moon in Libra....meaning get your ducks in a row....but don't do it by yelling at them.
And in the middle of it all Jupiter squares Uranus, making you jumpy Reassess all changes you have made this summer and move ahead with those you are sure about. Leave the others behind.
-
Morning all.
-
Good morning, ArnoldMBrockman!
-
I got to see The Last Starfighter on Saturday and had a wonderful time. My only complaint is one familiar to Bruce. The sound was problematic. At times it was too loud and there was a lot of static at some points, otherwise I really enjoyed the show and got to speak, albeit briefly, with both Fred and Skip and got to say hello to Toby and Dylan. All in all a nice evening.
-
Ben!
-
Good morning, good day.
Check vibes for MR BK....
We saw the preview for THE CAR at the Jerry Lewis Cinema oh so many years ago. And the audience couldn't stop laughing....by the end of it, you could barely hear the sound because the commotion was so great....I think the biggest response came when someone said:
"The car.....my God....the CAR is in the garage!!!!"
-
Last night we finally finished our 3rd Levain cookie. They lasted for an entire week! It was the chocolate chocolate chip piece of heaven. What a treat. We had flounder stuffed with crabmeat, fresh steamed green beans and saffron rice for dinner. I had a nice Mandarin Orange herbal iced tea and Anthony had a large glass of water. We then popped the cookie into the microwave for 30 seconds, cut it in half and had our dessert. Wow!
-
We don't have many DVDs, probably15 total. We do have many CDs, though. Between the two of us we probably have over 300. I know that compared to many of you that's not a lot but for our small space it's more than enough. Most of mine are cast recordings or theatre related though I do have a nice collection of Peter, Paul and Mary and the Chad Mitchell Trio. I also have all the Manhattan Transfer albums on CD and all of Barbara Cook's CD and Nancy LaMott's work.

Let us move on

Hello, gents!
I forgot to mention that I had fun yesterday walking by all the famous NYC HHW haunts yesterday on my walk to and from St. Clement's. Including: Piece O' Chicken, Amy's Breads, Westside Cottage II, and Pietrasanta.
-
My sincere congratulations to BK, Noel, FJL (and Skip) for those wonderful reviews from Mr. Filichia.
It was exciting to have three shows in the Festival created by HHW members, but to have all three be considered among the best of show is awesome.

For those who wanted or intended to purchase Sacco and Vanzetti on DVD but didn't get around to it, it is now available for 35% off HERE (http://firstrunfeatures.com/saccovanzettidvd.html).
And remember: Sacco is [was?] cute! ;)
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And it's not even Noon yet! Go figure.
-
...And I'm sort of surprised I'm up since I ended up staying later than expected last night. I went ahead and finished reading Phoebe Damrosch's "Service Included" which turned out to cover a bit of her personal life in addition to her brief stint as a captain at the luxe Per Se in the Time-Warner Center. A very good read, funny, smart and surprisingly touching at times.

-
As for the Topic of the Day...
CDs - 2000? 3000? Someday I'll get them all back in alphabetical order or some sort too. And I'd say that my Classical collection still makes up about 60% of my library, with Cast Recordings filling in the next biggest slice on the pie chart.
DVDs - Maybe just around 200-300. -Which is actually more than I ever thought I'd own, believe it or not.
-
Hmm... I had hoped to get my hair cut this morning, but no one seems to be picking up the phone at Chelsea Barbers right now... Hmm...
-
Good morning, all! I'm tidying the aparment and cleaning off the computer table before the Mac Mechanic shows up at 1 pm to set up the new Mac and get my printer in running order. Tonight at 6:30 I have a dinner date with Alex Rybeck whom I've not seen socially. except in passing. since March 2006.
I'm currently listening to the soundtrack for THE KING & I: such beautiful orchestrations, and who castTerry Saunders and the singer for Lun-Tha? Dreadful voices!
Beyond that, little to report: a summit meeting on Wednesday at noon, continued Toyland work, and various errands this week. I had strange dreams last night - back in college, heigh-ho - about several friends (I only rememebr DR Ben and my retired friend Kevin who now lives in Amsterdam) all of whom were looking much younger than they or I do now. All I remember now is an intense search for a saucepan in the kitchen of the house I was living in. And, at 4:22 am, I was wide awake for about an hour wondering why I couldn't go back to sleep.

You're gonna know that we've taken the world by surprise
It's a lucky day, yeah

Well, I think I'm just gonna head down to Chelsea anyway... Just to get out of the apartment for a bit and stretch my legs.

Good morning!
The morning was cool enough but probably not cool enough to offset another day of almost 90 for a high. How did this happen? No relief until Thursday according to the newspaper forecast.
-
I wouldn't have the foggiest idea how many CDs or DVDs I have. I have three rooms filled with DVDs. I have CDs stored in three different rooms, but I have far more DVDs than CDs.
As for how many unheard or unwatched, I probably have 25 CDs I haven't gotten around to listening to yet. I tend to get to them but slowly since I find I don't listen to music nearly as much as I used to.
I have hundreds of unwatched DVDs on my "to-watch" shelf (it's actualy a bookcase that holds them all). I'd like to think that someday I will get to them all, but who knows?
I do know that I buy them because I know that nothing stays in print forever, and if a movie or TV show comes out that I have any interest in watching (and thinking I'll want to rewatch it), then I'll buy it. I'm heartened by the fact that many movies I've always want to have have either come out already or are slated to come out within the next year or two, so I find that I have fewer purchases to make as the years pass.
-
I got up early enough this morning to get the newspaper read, the dining room cleaned, and I managed to watch an episode of MEDIUM and start another before I came upstairs to start my morning workout.
This was the episode wehre we see the teenaged Alison dreaming about her future self. Quite an interesting twist on the usual storyline, and I enjoyed it.
-
The critics I've read have said that tonight's CHUCK is the best-yet episode, so I'm encouraged that the show is finally going into "spy" country with Chuck bumbling his way through like a nedry Maxwell Smart. It should be a lot of fun.
Of course, I'll also be watching HEROES and JOURNEYMAN and recording HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and CSI: MIAMI.
-
DR MBarnum, the days of plug and play TVs are really gone forever due to the many different sources that folks feed into today's television. Analog and digital signals look very different on new high def sets. DVDs and their high definition counterparts can look wonderful if the DVDs come from quality sourcces and have been mastered properly. On the other hand, just ebcasue it's on DVD does not mean it's going to look great.
The TVs today are so precise that they accentuate the flaws that old analog TVs used to hide with their lower resolution and lack of accurate tuning.
-
Another note to you, DR MBarnum:
Be careful about buying HDMI cables at a store like Best Buy. They'll want to charge you $60-90 for an HDMI cable.
Go to Wal-Mart or Target and get one there for a much more reasonable price - $10-20. You can buy them over the internet for less than $10. I've never had a problem with the internet HDMI cables that I've bought.
And you DO want HDMI if you can get it for all of your equipment (some older DVD players don't have those connections). HDMI is a pure digital connection, so it's going to give you the purest signal from a digital source. Even componet cables (the red-blue-green ones that give excelent quality) are analog cables which require the TV to do an analog-to-digital conversion before the image can be viewed.
And HDMI also carries audio signals as well as video, so if you aren't plugging into a receiver, the HDMI will give you both picture and sound over one cable. (Of course, you have to go into the setup menu on your cable box and tell it you're sending audio via HDMI).

DR der Brucer is always complaining that I don't talk enough about Truffle, the guinea pig, so here's a little update:
Yesterday he ate, drank, scampered, pooped up a storm, and slept.

DR JoseSPiano - have you ever shopped at the Amish Market on 9th Avenue? I don't know how their prices are, but they seemed to have a very nice selection of prepared meals as well as fresh produce.
-
Monday morning greetings! After a night of coughing and sleeping on the couch, I have a doctor's appointment at 2pm.
Otherwise, we're just unpacking, catching up on newspapers and such, and getting used to having more than one room to live in. Now that we've been home a while, I've come to the conclusion that our kitchen is bigger than the studio apartment we had in NYC.
-
I HATE that there is NO mail today.
...
Me, too, DR MattH. We have more than a week's worth of mail sitting at the PO and can't pick it up until tomorrow.

DR Singdaw - the Amish Market was our shopping place all last week. We had good fresh fruit from there.

-
Alas, Columbus Day is not a day of vacation for Oregon workers :P
However, I don't go in to work until 1pm on Mondays....so I can do a little bit of power cord shopping.
-
DR Matth, do you have a regular DVD player or is it one of those upconvert DVD players.
If it is just a regular DVD player do you stil use an HDMI cord? Or is that cord only for an Upconvert DVD player?
-
As for the topic of the day:
I just counted 898 DVDs. However that does not count all of the ones that are boxed up, nor does it take into consideration the hundreds of DVDrs that I own.
Let's just say it is more then I will ever be able to watch. I would say I have watched about 400 or so of them so far.
As for CDs I probably have about 300 and have listened to them all. I play them at work, in the car, or at home while I am puttering around.
-
But you haven't even seen him yet! He might be wearing a blue turban and a nifty kurta.
I know my Mac Mechanic quite well; trust me, he won't show up looking like one of DR MBarnum's fantasies. I have much better taste.

What's fascinating looking at that list is how many of those shows received almost no publicity whatsoever anywhere.
-
And the news is (at least the news as told to me by someone who hopefully knows) part two of the funding check is ready for pickup - since Miss Patti is at LACC in classes, I've called and left a message for her to pick it up. When she has it in her hands, then I'll feel comfortable that we have it.
-
Hello, HHW.
I'm still under the weather. Not coughing violently like VIXMOM, thankfully, but having trouble getting rid of an infection that doesn't want to leave my lungs. Pooh!
-
I've caught up on the posts. What I've learned is this: before I purchase a new TV (hopefully not soon) I will CONSULT and BE PREPARED for a major undertaking.

It's a good thing he's cute, because he has no personality [compared to a dog or a cat]!

DR Jeanne - Hope you feel better REALLY SOON! :)

When she has it in her hands, then I'll feel comfortable that we have it.
How about when the funds clear? ;)
-
Feel better vibers for DR GINNY and DR JEANNE.
No mail......no mail......
I am not sure what an upconvert DVD player is, DR MBARNUM. I just used a 3 part cable from my Panasonic DVD player to my TV.....and the sound was already into my suround system.
My guess is that your Toshiba has nice sound and you will be fine using it as your audio receiver.
BUT don't get the cables at Best Buy....as DR MATTH says, you can get the same thing for much less at Target or Walmart. I found mine even at Goodwill for $1.99.....but that was a fluke. Yes that was a fluke.
-
New moon in Libra on Thursday....the funds should clear by then.
-
Slow day so far a the World of Wisdom. We are buying some nice tumbled stones, and I have sold some incense, and taken and interpreted TWO aura photographs.
-
Sometimes I feel like a tumbled stone...
-
So, any bets on whether Roller Derby is going to win the Verizon text message NYMF "Best of Fest" award? :)
-
I think Robin Williams is the comedian who said, "You know why God makes babies so cute? It's so you won't kill them."
-
That was a propos of the Singdaw "rodents who do nothing but look cute" post...
So I did read Peter's reviews of the shows - Mazel Tov to all!
-
Sometimes I feel like a tumbled stone...
Oh, did Jose take you to the Rambles also?
-
Noel - Why list which shows are world premieres? Does being a world premiere make a show any more appropriate to NYMF's mission?

I follow this Chicago area blogger who was enrolled in the marathon yesterday. When I heard that one runner had died in the heat and humidity, I had to check the blog to find out if it was the person I knew.
He survived, fortunately.
But it was a weird/morbid kind of moment.
Sometimes things happen to me, and my first thought is: I can't WAIT to post about this on HHW!
-
I had a nice day at Pismo Beach yesterday... just a quick 2-hour ride up the lovely coast of California, via Hwy 101... under a beautiful blue sky.
-
DR JRand, an upconvert DVD player evidently makes your regular DVDs look as close to HD quality as is possible...anyway, it improves the picture quality. I may hunt around for one. We shall see.
I am now off to Comcast to get me a new cord for the DVR.
-
And so, to Google land (google is, i believe, over $600 today!) for my self-imposed tutorials on how to harness and harmonize a non-profit board in service to their stated mission, while appearing to be the respectful employee...
-
PS - JRand, thanks for the astrological blessing.
-
BUT don't get the cables at Best Buy....as DR MATTH says, you can get the same thing for much less at Target or Walmart. I found mine even at Goodwill for $1.99.....but that was a fluke. Yes that was a fluke.
Now remind me what your hooked up with an HDMI cable on your system? Was it from the DVD player? Or am I just confused.
I know I need one for the Comcast DVR box, which I can get free (I guess) from Comcast. Or are you talking about the 3 pronged plug in...maybe that is what it was. I am getting my cables crossed.
-
Oh, did Jose take you to the Rambles also?
:P
Nope!

PS - JRand, thanks for the astrological blessing.
Just send $35 to his PayPal account...

I am just jiggy with my regular, plain old TV.

Since yesterday was "The Blessing of the Animals" at the Episcopal church where my dear husband plays, his postlude was a movement from Camille Saint Saëns's Carnival of the Animals.
Zach attended the service, but had to be removed half way through the sermon for TMB. [Too Much Barking].

I need to get over my fear of coffee.
Or, more specifically, my fear of ordering coffee drinks.
Since I don't drink coffee myself, any know nothing about it, I find the infinite varieties scary and the ordering process intimidating.
During lunch today, I was running some errands. A co-worker casually asked me if I would pick up "a small coffee kulata with sugar but no whipped cream." Tentatively, I agreed.
I wrote it down.
When I got to the counter, I read my order verbatim from the piece of paper. The clerk gave me a glance and started to explain something or other about my order. Honestly, it was all just a babble of words to me. I just nodded and took what he gave me.
I have yet to hear back from my co-worker whether I ended up getting the right thing or not.
Honestly! :P
-
they keep calling you singpaw
;D
I've been called much, much worse!
-
Good Afternoon!
YEAH! My barber was open today! However, the owner/manager was not there today, and she's usually the one who answers the phone - so maybe that's why no one answered the phone when I called. And when I stepped inside, a chair had just freed up, so I was able to sit down right away and have the barber start cutting my hair (1 on the sides, 3 on the top, natural back). -And with the warmer(!) temps making a return today, the cut came just in time.
-
After getting shorn, I decided to go ahead and grab some brunch at The Dish - corned beef hash, eggs over easy, rye toast and fresh-squeezed OJ. YUM! Then a brief trip to Balducci's for some supplies - a.k.a. snacks - and then A Train back uptown.
Of course, now I want to take a nap. ;)
-
SHORN 'NUFF - that's the title of my musical version of Jose's haircut, which I'll submit for NYMF next year :)
-
TOD (both parts): Too many.
-
Noel - Why list which shows are world premieres?
I was answering Der Brucer's question from last night:
Have you any idea of the ratio of "virgin" to "previously deflowered" shows at NYMF?
der Brucer
-
I like the idea that the Brain was deflowered in Los Angeles.
-
Check is in Miss Patti's hands, so I guess I'll drive down there and get pick it up so it can be in my hands and tomorrow in the bank's hands.
-
Deflowered in Los Angeles - that's the title of my next novel.
-
DR singdaw - Did your co-worker want a Coffee Coollatta® with 2% Milk, Cream, Skim or Whole Milk? ;)
Or course, you could have been sent to Starbucks to get a Tall Cafe Americano Half-Caf, No Water, Iced and Dirty. In other words, a small iced coffee, no additional water, with two additional shots of espresso (one regular, on decaf)... basically espresso poured over ice. "Filthy" is three additional shots of espresso. -Or you could also request "doppio" for a double, triple or quad.
*Although, my favorite thing to order at Starbucks lately has been a Tall Mocha Frappuccino Affogato Style - a Mocha Blended Coffee with a shot of espresso poured on top. The perfect pick-me-up before or after an afternoon rehearsal or set of auditions.
-
SHORN 'NUFF - that's the title of my musical version of Jose's haircut, which I'll submit for NYMF next year :)
Well, I guess you could only present it twice during the festival. Unless we find a really good wig person. Well, and a lot of wigs. ;)
-
What's fascinating looking at that list is how many of those shows received almost no publicity whatsoever anywhere.
I'm similarly fascinated. BK and I had the same P.R. person. And bassist! Who heard anything about Virtuosa? Who knew that nobody did any singing in it, for it was a straight play in which a pianist plays?
I'm sensing some difference of opinion around here about whether being part of the September 12 press event led to more publicity. The shows participating were Sympathy Jones, Tully (in no particular order), The Yellow Wood, Roller Derby, Such Good Friends, Going Down Swingin', The Angle of the Sun, Love Kills, and Look What a Wonder Jesus Has Done and I'm still wondering whether anyone saw more coverage for Going Down Swingin', Love Kills, and Look What a Wonder Jesus Has Done than Gemini, Austentatious and I See London I See France (The Underpants Musical).
Another really fine point: I'm pretty sure the underwear tuner sold out well before the festival began.

Noel - Why list which shows are world premieres?
Noel is responding to my posted request for a breakdown of "virgin" versus "previously de-flowered" offerings. As a Systems Analyst I often like to look at categorical breakdowns to see whether or not there is any potential significance to be derived.
In this case, we are one invited show away from a perfect 50-50 split between never-produced and brand new offerings, which suggests no bias for or against previously produced shows.
Whether or not NYMF should show such a bias is totally subjective. I suspect the category should be "new works", meaning new to Broadway-Equity audiences.
One could argue that admitting previously preformed shows puts new productions at a disadvantage, but the lack of any previous production also places a healthy production-cost fundraising burden on new shows.

Next year, I'll be directing a new World Premiere musical for NYMF entitled The King and I.
I'm also writing a new musical for NYMF, another World Premiere about a website full of wacky people, three of whom are doing NYMF shows. I think it will be very amusing, and also quite touching. There will be comedy (plays on the name Singdaw, spelled backwords words, arch writing), drama (people leaving the board in a huff or, at the very least, a minute and a huff), warmth (people coming back to the board in a huff), romance (two board denizens get married and write a musical about it, which is also done at NYMF - the New York Marriage Festival), lust (certain board members obsessions with a variety of hunks, both Bollywood and other), food (a wonderful number called Amy's Breads will be a highlight, along with Levain Drives Me Insane and the soft-shoe number John's Pizza Never Seats A Party Until Everyone Is There), and every other human emotion. The set, which will be a whole series of computer screens will be so huge that even though there are strict NYMF and Equity rules, we'll be renting the Music Box for our six performances, doing five previews and not allowing the press in until we feel like it. Because of the very technical nature of our set and lighting and sound, we'll have a week in the theater to tech. We'll definitely be part of the big publicity event, and all our shows will be the first to sell out as we will purchase all the tickets and then give them away to family and friends and everyone on facebook. Our musical director will be dear reader Jose, our casting director will be dear reader Joy (thereby insuring that we will have the best cast), and there will be merriment and mirth and laughter and legs aplenty. We will be the toast of NYMF and also the croissant of NYMF. We will be extended by two performances, and we will, I'm quite sure, get excellent reviews except from Duncan Pflaster of broadwayworld, who will say that the entire score plagerizes the first six notes of Glenda's Place from Whoop-Up. The budget, as per the signed contract, will be $20,000, even though through we will actually be spending $362,015.43. I'm very excited about it.

DR singdaw - Did your co-worker want a Coffee Coollatta® with 2% Milk, Cream, Skim or Whole Milk? ;)
Or course, you could have been sent to Starbucks to get a Tall Cafe Americano Half-Caf, No Water, Iced and Dirty. In other words, a small iced coffee, no additional water, with two additional shots of espresso (one regular, on decaf)... basically espresso poured over ice. "Filthy" is three additional shots of espresso. -Or you could also request "doppio" for a double, triple or quad.
*Although, my favorite thing to order at Starbucks lately has been a Tall Mocha Frappuccino Affogato Style - a Mocha Blended Coffee with a shot of espresso poured on top. The perfect pick-me-up before or after an afternoon rehearsal or set of auditions.

I think the key word, well phrase that has to be defined is "World Premiere". Yes, there were some true "first time on stage anywhere" productions in this year's NYMF, but I'm sure that even some of the "world premieres" had been mounted at other venues before they were presented at NYMF. Those venues were not granted the "right" to call their production a "World Premiere".
When I did Working at Signature Theatre back in 1997, it was the first "major" professional production of the "new" version. However, when the show was later done up at Long Wharf, that production, if my memory serves me correctly, was listed as the "world premiere" of the new version of the show. It's all in the contract. I've attended many a "workshop" of a new piece, but not until those pieces were mounted later on in bigger venues with bigger budgets did those shows make their "World Premiere".

Oh... And after Googling, I came across Peter Marks - he was still with the New York Times at that time - review of Signature Theatre's production of Working. -And I was "reminded" yet again of the some mis-leading, mistaken wording in his review:
For the original production, Mr. Schaeffer and the composer Stephen Schwartz corralled a stable of Broadway and pop songwriters, from Mary Rodgers to James Taylor, to quilt a patchwork score. This time, they have scaled back ''Working'' to 90 minutes of bittersweet reflection on long-haul ennui, assembly-line drudgery and other humdrum afflictions of living paycheck to paycheck.
Hmm... I don't seem to recall Eric Schaeffer being a part of the original Broadway production.

I started collecting pop music in the second half of the 1950's. My collection of 45 rpm discs covers 1955 - 1975 approx and my CD collection extends this interest back to 1950 (extend back!). Whilst I've updated virtually all my pop music tracks either by purchasing CDs or creating them, I've kept all the 45s. It's only since the mid 70's that I started my collection of theatre related discs and soundtracks.
It helps that I've only ever lived in three homes in my life. We've been in this one for 26 years. and the home is certainly large enough (ask Jose) to store the collection.
The DVDs just seem to accumulate. I rarely buy any when they are first issued so it's not really an expense of great magnitude.

DR Matth, do you have a regular DVD player or is it one of those upconvert DVD players.
If it is just a regular DVD player do you stil use an HDMI cord? Or is that cord only for an Upconvert DVD player?
All three of my players that have HDMI connections will upconvert if I choose them to (I do), but they don't have to upconvert. You can tell the player in the set-up menu that you just want it to be a progressive scan player and still run the image through HDMI.
No regular DVD player will upconvert using component (red-blue-green) cables.

'Damages': Is it endangered?
“Damages” fans waiting for illumination about the murder mystery at the heart of the FX drama are hoping to garner some more clues when the show’s third-to-last episode airs at 10 p.m. Tuesday.
Even though network executives promise there will be a satisfying conclusion to the Patty Hewes-Arthur Frobisher showdown by the end of the season, they can’t say as much about the fate of the series.
Although the intricately plotted legal thriller starring Glenn Close and Ted Danson has gained a passionate following, it has not been as sizable as the cable network had hoped. By the end of each week, episodes have averaged a cumulative viewership of 4.9 million people, including 2.4 million 18- to 49-year-olds. Live viewing, on which the network bases most of its ad sales, is substantially lower.

And thank you for the upconvert info...I am making a file of MattH helpful hints....and believe you me, they are helpful!!

For those who wanted or intended to purchase Sacco and Vanzetti on DVD but didn't get around to it, it is now available for 35% off HERE (http://firstrunfeatures.com/saccovanzettidvd.html).
And remember: Sacco is [was?] cute! ;)
LOL! Thanks for that Singdaw! I didn't know it was for sale, so I'm going to send out that link as well.

Please remind me NEVER to accept any gigs requiring memorization.

Have you actually done the gig yet, Singdaw, or are you and "Jeanette" still rehearsing?

DR JoseSPiano - have you ever shopped at the Amish Market on 9th Avenue? I don't know how their prices are, but they seemed to have a very nice selection of prepared meals as well as fresh produce.
I love the Amish market. When I'm working in NY I often pick up a few items there for lunch. Although it seems pricey, it's still cheaper than going to a restaurant!
I also used to go to the one down by the World Trade Center, but I think that building was another 9/11 casualty.
-
DR MBarnum, here's td's helpful hint of the day:
Whenever I calibrate my set(s), or re-calibrate, I always pick one specific movie on dvd, a film with a color scheme that is not muted, but vibrant, a look which I would recognize in a minute. I have never really used the THX Optimizers on Disney and other dvds, since going with a personal favorite has always done the trick for me. Not knowing what is in your dvd library, I can't make the suggestion as to what you should try. . .I know that "The Night They Invented Champagne" sequence in GIGI has been one of my most popular choices: it has vibrant REDS(which I don't want to be tomato soup orange or bleeding), deep BLUES (which I don't want to appear as blacks), rich TEXTURES (which I don't want to lose the detail on), indoor lighting (which should not be 'blooming") and three actors with varying degrees of SKIN TONES.
While you're calibrating, have a pad and pencil handy to write down the settings, then put that paper somewhere where you'll KNOW where it is should you ever have to re-tweak. . .

I'm also writing a new musical for NYMF, another World Premiere about a website full of wacky people, three of whom are doing NYMF shows. I think it will be very amusing, and also quite touching.

No, the rehearsing is done. Just the memorization to go.

Good Evening!
Back from Central Park... I found a nice piece of earth to stretch out on - and I even remembered to bring a blanket this time - put my iPod on, hit "Play", took my book out... Then just sat in the park listening to music for about two hours. -It's just not in me to listen to music passively. But it was great music.
*And I'm still trying to figure out why there were large groups of school children being chaperoned throughout the Park earlier this afternoon. I thought NYC schools were out for the day? Or could these have been groups of kids from daycare?
-
~~~~~GOOD HEALTH AND GOOD SPIRITS VIBES TO DR KERRY~~~~~
-
DR Ginny - As for the Amish Market - I like it, but since I'm not usually working near one, I don't shop there that often. And, yes, their prepared foods section is quite nice - and not that Amish. ;)
-
In other news... I think I'm going to head to the Park and get some sun and shade and do some reading, and/or just listen to my iPod for a while. And it actually has been a few weeks since I've been to the Reservoir, so...

A couple of weeks! Sounds like Manopause to me.

Well, if you had flashed pictures of your gold lamé boys around town sooner, you probably would have sold out, too! ;)
And if you had cast two 80+ year old B picture actors or two current Bollywood hunks as the two boys in gold; MBarnum, td, and Jrand57 would have bought out all the seats before they even went on sale to members.

And this is why I should never shop at Balducci's...

Well, it seems to me that there is one great irony in the NYMF. Some shows didn't keep to an even playing field, some weren't allowed in the playground. Some shows were so new that the ink was still wet, while others were previously written on the Dead Sea Scrolls. Some shows were the darlings of the press and others couldn't get their names in the Obits.
And finally there was ROLLER DERBY, which broke all the rules, had a theater all to themselves, previewed their show before allowing critics in the door, and spent enough money to finance one day of Mr. Bush's Iraqi war.
Yet when all was said and done, My Friend Filichia selected THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X, THE LAST STARFIGHTER, and SUCH GOOD FRIENDS as three of the very best of the best. And isn't that the point?

But seriously, Happy Columbus Day to you. We, meaning the employees of the State of Washington, gave up this day as a holiday years ago in exchange for the day after Thanksgiving.
SMART decision!
The last day I worked before taking maternity leave with Bryan was the day after Thanksgiving. I had no intention of returning on Friday until my boss mentioned I would not be paid for the holiday, thus loosing two days pay vs one.

And walked and fed my lazy St. Bernard.

Contined watching MEDIUM. I am within one episode of completing the set. There are several feaurettes on disc 6 in the set, but I should be finished with it by late Tuesday morning.
-
The last three episodes, of course, involved Neve Campbell's ruse to trick Allison into spilling what she knows about the D.A.'s office. I was in agony for Allison during these episodes, and it's not pleasurable reliving them.
I'll be really curious to see where the series goes when it returns in January.
-
CHUCK had a cute, funny, and involving episode tonight. And I'm continuing to love Adam Baldwin very much in the show (and off the show, for that matter).
-
I enjoyed HEROES, too, but I got really irritated at how brief each little segment with a hero was. I longed for them to stay with one of them for more than three minutes before switching to another. WAY too much jumping back and forth between too brief stories.
Still don't like Alajendro and his sister at all.
-
And JOURNEYMAN wasn't as involving for me this week as the previous two weeks. John Billingsley was the guest star, and the story was OK but kind of lackluster, especially with the tthreat of the 1989 earthquake looming. Not tension filled enough.
-
Once I get the rest of MEDIUM out of the way, I'll be catching up with some of the TV from Sunday and Monday that is stored on the DVR.
