And the word of the day is: LITTORAL!

As promised, I'm going to give you dear readers the jump on the new Kritzerland limited edition title. Even though they've pretty much guessed what it is over at the film music site, I'd like to keep this info here until the official announcement next week, probably not till the end of the week, depending on how fast my web gal gets it on the site. You will not want to wait on this title. It's limited to 1000 copies only, and I can already tell you that half of them are spoken for by online stores. Given the composer and the rarity of what's on the CD, I'm hoping this will be a very quick sell out. You'll notice that Scent Of Mystery is sold out and no longer available at Kritzerland.
So, I'm really excited to announce that it's two Elmer Bernstein scores - the first is his incidental music to the play Laurette. Laurette was about the legendary actress Laurette Taylor, who was played by Judy Holliday. The cast also included Patrick O'Neal and Joan Hackett, and was produced by Alan Pakula, and directed by Jose Quintero. It closed out of town due to Miss Holiday's illness. The score is wonderful and is very interesting - Mr. Bernstein was making a transition in his style, and Laurette is the first score I've heard where you notice it. It very much looks forward to what he would do in To Kill A Mockingbird. It's scored for a chamber ensemble and the themes are wonderful. The second score is to a very obscure 80s film called Prince Jack, a film about the Kennedys. Both are short scores - Laurette runs about eighteen minutes, and Prince Jack runs twelve - that's what he wrote for the film - twelve minutes of music. The source material for Laurette wasn't in great shape, but the mastering guy did a pretty terrific job of fixing it up. I'm still struggling with the price of the CD - given that none of this music has ever been available, I'm tempted to charge our usual $19.98, despite the brevity of the CD. I've also toyed with the idea of charging $17.98, just as an acknowledgment that it's a shorter CD. That said, I have a CD here, a Varese club title (from way back when) that was full price and which runs nineteen minutes! Here's what I'll do though - no matter which price I end up charging, you dear readers will get it for $17.98. So, if you want to lock in that price pre the official announcement (once it hits the site, the price is whatever the price is), simply do the usual and go to paypal and pay 17.98 plus 3.75 shipping directly to kritzerland at adelphia dot net. Don't wait on this one. :)
-
BK, how much for shipping, or is it included in the $17.98?

No, can't throw in the shipping, unfortunately. I've amended my post above to include the 3.75 for shipping.

I think it's safe to assume that I've just now place the very first order! ;D

999 left! This thing is flying out the door! Of course, after we deduct the online stores, there's really less than 500 left now.

Topic of the Day: no media in any media player because in the morning (7:30 in the freakin' mornin', to be exact), I have to be at my sister's house so that we can leave for Coquille, Oregon to visit our cousin! That's too darned early for me!
Anyway, we're going to be gone until Monday, so I'll be incommunicado, until then...I'm assuming that I won't have computer access. I found my camera, so I'll be able to post pictures when I get back.
Have a good weekend, all!! I'm off to bed. ;D

Der Brucer bought the DVD for Speed Racer, because he'd seen it at the local cheepo movie palace with the grandlads. I watched fifteen, twenty minutes of it and had to turn it off. Talk about a piece of cra... crud. A total waste of Sarandon and Goodman's talents. Bleh.

Good morning! Congrats on the weight losss! I just wish I would stop finding it.
DR Jose, I just read your post about changing my preferences. It was already checked but we'll see if that works with this post.
Have a GREAT day all! I'm off to work.

Oh, one other thing--I can't see who is on line. How do I fix that?

You can't. It's not something we can control. It might happen if the computer guys or JMK futz with the software but for now once you're in the board you can't see a list of who's on also. You just have to look at the avatars and the ones that are bright green are on line.

Well, Michael Shayne (AKA Norm DePloom) yesterday as Benjamin at 4:19pm I wrote this about that.
Now that you have someone working on the site, if you choose to, you could probably delete lots and lots and lots of our "members" mostly Russian or Eastern European bots that were able to register because we had no capture screen to keep them out. If you sort the Member List by post and go to Page 7 you see that from there to Page 685 all members listed have no posts. It's pretty easy to tell which are bots and fake members. They could be deleted freeing up room on the server (that stuff is stored just like the real member information). Since we now have the capture screen to slow down/prevent fake member registrations it might be worthwhile to go down to 185 members (the number of registered members who have actually made a post, including the new registrations today) instead of 20528 of which 20,343 have never posted and most likely never will.

Thank you for the link! I never saw the original version of this with Jack Benny I shoudl see if I can get it from Blockbuster.com I have seen the Mel Brooks version and it was OK but I dontl remeber it being hilariously funny....of course that could have been my reaction to Mr. Brooks whom I feel beats you over the head witha joke until you're no longer amused

I think that last post of mine was a bit misleading - I love Young Frankenstein and the original The Producers and Silent Movie , High Anxiety amongst other Mel Brooks work but when he himself is the actor there is so much scenery chewing I have to look away

I read DR SINGDAWN's post and immediately started sneezing. Yes it IS allergy season.
DR VIXMOM I have seen both film versions, and I do like the Jack Benny version better, but it's still very black comedy either way you go. I just don't find Nazis funny - and I think making them funny really diminishes what they did to the world...but there you go.

Eva Cassidy - "Somewhere"
Brian Wilson - "That Lucky Old Sun"
Robin McKelle - "Modern Antique" - What a nice surprise this one was. I had seen it featured at Virgin for the past few weeks, but since I didn't know who she was, well... The other day they were playing the album in the store, and since it was also on sale, well... :) Great voice, great arrangements, great charts, and the big band jazz cover of Steve Miller's "Abracadabra" is sooooo cool! 8)

Good morning, all! I got caught up in reading the new Stephen Schwartz book and got to bed after 1. I'm a bit draggy this morning.

I probably will watch the extras on Daredevil Director's cut. It is a better film, I didn't like the version that played the theaters. All action no character development.
The director's cut makes for a much better film. I don't have the Blu-ray yet (Fox wants too much money for their catalog titles), but when it comes up in some kind of sales venue, I'll likely replace my DVD which I bought it a cutout bin for $4.

VHS - The Leather Boys with Colin Campbell, Rita Tushingham, and Dudley Sutton

I forgot to mention PROJECT RUNWAY last night in my summation of the evening viewing.
I certainly thought the winner's design deserved it, even if there was too much billowing of the layers in the front. By far the most interesting dress, and I'll be very shock if this contestant doesn't show at Bryant Park.
I DESPISE Kenley with every fiber of my being. A snottier, more unaccommodating presence has never been on the show. And that design! It looked like the Little Mermaid on PJ. I cannot believe they didn't eliminate her.

DVDs: toggling between Blu-Ray Grey's Anatomy 4 and the new boxed set of 8 Horatio Hornblower movies. I also have been trying, after several aborted attempts. to finish Charlie Chan & The City in Darkness.
CDs: re-recorded El Cid, which confirms that the lyric I have for the theme is indeed the "correct" version. Also got a kind of strange/funny Japanese singer that Sergio Mendes and Dori Caymmi produced back in the 1980s, which has been "interesting" to listen to.

DR Ben, as I washed out my oatmeal bowl this morning I thought of you.
Glad to hear you're eating oatmeal. I've influenced you or else your nutrionist has ;D
Once you get into the habit it's easy to include oatmeal in your diet, even when you want 2 eggs over easy, a side of bacon, whole wheat toast with butter and jam, home fries and coffe with half and half.
Ooops, sorry got carried away there with some memories.

Does anyone know if our HHW God status will be returning? I would think it's a simple text change. I mean, what would MISS KAREN do? She'd have to hand out medals instead of togas. Not exactly the HHW image, IMHO.

I rarely watch this show but I caught the last half hour of this episode and Imust say that I'm surprise she has stuck around. Her behavior is infantile by any standard and the dress that I saw does not make me think she's a designer despite her repeated affirmations to the contrary. It just reinforces my belief that much of "reality" television is based on what the producers want, not on real talent. They must have some conflict so they keep a childish, whining contestant who is unable to take any criticism so she will provde a level of confrontation for the remaining episodes.
-
DR Ben,
You also set me on the path to daily oatmeal, and after a month, I could certainly tell a difference. I started back in January, so oatmeal has been a daily occurrence since then (with only two or three days where I skipped it to have morning doughnuts with friends).

Regarding Hairspray closing. I think it's time. I loved it when I saw it the first time. It had energy and spark and was great fun. The audience loved it and the cast loved doing it. I saw it last year though and I thought it was tired and lacking energy. IIRC I saw Lance Bass in the show. As they used to say in the old days, "I'm sure he's very nice to his mother"

OFFICIAL MOONLIGHT DVD RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED
A couple weeks ago, we gave you obsessive Moonlight fans a "bite" of good news regarding the future release of the blood-sucking series' DVD.
Well, now we have an actual date to sink your teeth into. The complete series will be released Jan. 20, 2009, after the holiday season as earlier predicted. The four-disc set will contain all 16 episodes, but no details on what sort of bonus material will be included (if any) have been released.

So, is everything back to nomal now?
Logging in today was such fun.
-
I'm just catching up on the posts from yesterday. And i saw DR Jane's comments about the messages in our PM box.
So i went to check. And wow. That is so odd. When you click on one you see them all as posts. Very odd.
Like DR RonP said there is no "today's column" to click on. So you have to go to haineshisway.com to see the notes.
-
I don't know if I'll feel like watching much of anything this weekend.
On Saturday and Sunday, I'll be working with Roger Corman at the Hollywood Collector's Show in Burbank and, after those long days, I may just want to collapse "like so much fish".
"Like so much fish"
Now, where have I heard that phrase before?
:)
-
Wow one problem with only having 15 posts per page is that there are 48 pages to catch up on from yesterday!
-
If I do watch something, it will probably be one of those new Alice Faye movies that have just been released onto DVD.
-
Is it just my computer, or does my photo look smaller and squeezed to the rest of you, too?

So, is everything back to nomal now?

Until DR Jose mentioned it (the diabetes part and the 4-5 little meals each day), i was trying to figure out how DR Elmore lost 25 lbs in 3 months!
That is a lot!

I'm up, I'm up, have read the posts, am happy to see the calendar button (only the one on top works), and am trying to de-groggify so I can joggify. Haven't checked me e-mail to see who added the calendar and have no idea if they're working on other things.
-
Use this one!

This is the problem, dear Druxy, when you just post and don't bother reading the posts from yesterday - your photo problem was addressed then with the fix-it, but can someone repost it here now?

I have files on so many DRs! (evil laugh)

In addition to the calendar being back, if you go to the smf page, besides seeing who is online there is a list of upcoming birthdays!

After spending the morning learning about synchronous and asynchronous e-learning, specifically as applied to professional development in the nonprofit sector, I am ready for lunch.

The weather had been so hot last week (like 70s). But it is freezing today (like 50 or less maybe).Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
-
It's time for a walk to the NYPL and some play in the Bert Lahr collection.
DRs, I could use a few vibes on a rapid closing of that property sale in Ohio. i need the money.
-
Had a message from my pro guy and it was good news - I asked him to go in and see if he could fix four things, and he can - probably won't happen until late this evening, but these things will get done:
On the Daily Discussions board (the one you're on), as before, only I will be able to change the topic. All other boards, anyone can, also as before.
Guests will not be able to view profiles.
As before, users on the daily discussions board will once again show at the top of the page
The Calendar button and birthdays will work, but that seems to have already been done.
I also sent his fix-it list to Mr. Bakalor, and if he feels comfortable making the changes, then they could happen sooner, but by late this evening those four things will be done.
If there's anything else let me know, and I probably won't inundate this guy with them immediately, but between Bakalor and JMK we might be able to fix them. Don't post them here - send them to me in an e-mail. Thanks!
-
Rapid closing vibes for DR Elmore!

Yes, that is a problem.
Actually, I don't think I was on the board yesterday. Too much running around, doing various errands.

Good morning, all! I got caught up in reading the new Stephen Schwartz book and got to bed after 1. I'm a bit draggy this morning.
DRvixmom, the Pepperidge Farm orange cranberry bread is divoon! I see there are several other new breads in this series as well, but it's great for breakfast with a bit of low-fat butter substitute. I think li'l Mikey would like it as well.

DR Jose, thank you for the smiley face conversion chart.
All is right with the board again now that DR Laura has posted a beautiful photo.

DR Druxy, please give my regards to Mr. Corman...one of my all time favorite film makers...and do ask him if he has any recollections of June Kenney (who he cast in several of his early films like TEENAGE DOLL, SORORITY GIRL, and VIKING WOMEN AND THE SEA SERPENT).

Before you clicked on the correct letter of the alphabet to find a person's name. Now is is easier to see the names & info, however, the larger print created pages & pages per letter. It can take a long time to find a name.
We have way too many members who have never posted & I doubt will ever post. I'm in favor of removing some of these.

In the "What Were They Thinking?" dept:
My mom's church sent her a flyer and a set of raffle tickets to sell for its upcoming Fall Bazaar. The grand prize for the raffle is a MasterCard gift certificate in the amount of $6,660.00.
Mom was thinking of sending it to Jay Leno. I'm betting that half the parish probably beat her to it.

I just came back from a lunchtime trip to Borders to buy my sister a birthday gift. I picked up the latest GODFATHER release. I'm pretty sure she never got the version that came out about five years ago.
Also, made a spontaneous purchase of the latest James Taylor CD, COVERS. He does "Suzanne" on it, which is one of my favorite Leonard Cohen songs.
-
I've landed in NY safely, thanks to the vibes!
I'm waiting for the director to call me to give me the plans for this weekend. Looks like Saturday we will be busy all day, but don't know anything about the rest of the weekend yet.
Now I'm making friends with the kitty I'll be taking care of while i'm here. She's a Himilayan...I've never been around one of those before. I can't imagine taking care of that sort of downy cat fur on a daily basis. Must be a lot of work! She's a sweet kitty with a completely flat face.
-
No kitty's purr-fect.

Good Afternoon!
Well, we had a very full morning. We were busy, but not hectic. And it turned out to be a very nice, pleasant and talented group of men/male singers.

I'm FINALLY up. I do love taking an extra day off each week.

I cannot post from bed, but I'm only four feet away from my bed, so it's a short trip to get back in should I be so inclined.

Does anyone know if our HHW God status will be returning? I would think it's a simple text change. I mean, what would MISS KAREN do? She'd have to hand out medals instead of togas. Not exactly the HHW image, IMHO.
Miss Karen will have her hands full trying to figure out where we went, I think.

If anyone missed out on the the ado of the past two days, they just have to read the notes first since the link is now fixed.

I just got a fun new box of DVDs and Blu-Rays to review--Blu's of the new Indiana Jones, a Lorin Maazel concert and La Traviata, and DVDs of One Touch of Venus and some Prime Suspect-esque BBC series. And it's a cold and rainy day here, so absolutely perfect for lounging in front of a tv. :)

Elmore-
And How Is The Book...so far?
Not as in depth as I'd prefer, but certainly interesting. Poor photo reproductions, though.
-
TOD:
Videos (remember those?): "Heaven Can Wait" (the one from the 70's, the re-make of "Here Comes, Mr. Jordan"). Warren Beatty was hunky then; Julie Chrsite is as usual, luminous. It's the supporting cast that really makes the movie (and Elaine May's script). James Mason is brilliant and most effective at underplaying his role (as usual-- such command); Jack Warden is perfect; Buck Henry is Buck Henry. Charles Grodin, and most especially Dyan Cannon steal the movie from the others (and I know her part was cut way down, but still.....) Her scenes never fail to make me laugh.
"They All Laughed" (it's not consistently right, IMHO), but Ben Gazarra is right; Audrey Hepburn is always perfect; John Ritter is a riot in that, but it's Colleen Camp who steals the whole thing. And if there were any doubt that Peter Bogdonavich adored Dorothy Stratten, just watch the movie. He presents her so well (the way Selznick did with Jennifer Jones, the way Harry Cohn did with Rita Hayworth and despite his dislike for her, even Kim Novak). I have no idea how much talent Dorothy Stratten actually had, but you didn't care, because the director made her look good.
CD: another typical Kerry compilation for the car that includes Diana Dors, Dolly Parton, Tony Perkins, Dame Edna, and so much more. God only knows WHAT I was thing when I put that together.

I LOVE They All Laughed. I remember seeing it and falling in love with it. It's, IMHO, a wonderful depiction of love, both young and adult. Audrey Hepburn was gorgeous and marvelous. I saw some of it being filmed in the Village on 7th Avenue and 10th Street at a spot that no longer exists. At the time it was a New York version of a Honky Tonk bar. Now it's an upscale market called Gourmet Garage (with other locations around the city). I should find that movie and watch it again.

Oy, I'd been having trouble figuring things out - plus everyone (proverbally) wants their returns before Yom Kippur for some reason, even though they're not due until Oct 15th.

DR JMK, is the ONE TOUCH OF VENUS the one with Ava Gardner or is there some recorded stage production I don't know anything about?

I began my viewing this afternoon with last night's SMALLVILLE. Good episode with some backstory on Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. And a good new villain on the show.
-
I spent the rest of the afternoon (apart from my nap) with THE CULT OF CARTMAN - REVELATIONS, the SOUTH PARK compilation set.
There are new brief introductions for each episode by Eric Cartman (Trey Parker) and Cartman also presides over the main menu, greeting you when you come back to it or chastising you if you don't make a selection soon enough.

I just had a loverly phone call from our fearless leader BK, who had an interesting proposition which I believe I will agree to, and followed it with a tasty luncheon of tuna salad and lots of greens on 15-grain bread and a blueberry lite yogurt.
My drummer friend Chris Coluzzi and I will be seeing JOHNNY ON A SPOT and that should be fun since we will see our mutual friend Laura Daniel who played Sister Sourire in THE TRAGIC AND HORRIBLE LIFE OF THE SINGING NUN, for which Chris played the drums.
Thank you all for the vibes! Keep 'em coming. We were told the property sale of the land in front of my dad's house would occur in 4-6 weeks after returning our notarized agreements, and we're heading into 7 weeks now. We need to close the sale before next Thursday since Randy, who has power of attorney to sign for my third interest, and Jo go on vacation for a week. I'd like to see that check before the end of October since I've got Thanksgiving flight tickets to buy, as well as paying off a few loans from kind friends.

Before the series premiered, I watched them filming on location at a restaurant in Santa Monica (at some trendy place across from the Santa Monica Pier). It has such a lovely title, and i was so disappointed when I actually saw an episode, but it is so typical of today's series. But people I know think it's so edgy, but then they've missed the really good shows of the last 30 years that actually real writing. And clever and smart witing at that!

IN FASHION AT LAST!
Hollywood Conservatives Come Out of the Closet (http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/hollywood_conservatives/2008/10/03/137029.html)
...
To hear David Zucker tell it, making a Republican-friendly Hollywood film is like plotting a coup: You plan it in secret meetings, quietly recruit conservative actors, and launch before anybody realizes what’s happening.
“You sort of feel like you have to hide it,” says Zucker, director of the new film, “An American Carol,” which opened in theaters Friday. “When you meet, you give each other a secret look — ‘Are you a Republican too?’ It's the new gay.”

Good Afternoon!
Greetings from Madison Square Park...
We managed to fit in about 170 women this afternoon. -We had about 115 men this morning. All in all a very good day, and I even saw some people I hadn't seen in years -- which is always nice but also bittersweet since there's no real time to talk and catch up. And after we finished, I headed on down here.
*Alas, the Chocolate Candied Corn Frozen Custard was a bit "eh". It tasted like their regular chocolate frozen custard with some candy corn candies in it. But, it was still good frozen custard. I just wish this featured flavor had been more "exciting" and unique.
-
Back from a long lunch meeting. I rewrote all the patter for the singer and I think we're fine now.

It is a lovely overcast day of less than 100 degrees. Finally. So nice.

Well, I'm going to head back uptown now, and once I'm home I shall catch up on today's posts.

Mark Bakalor made it thirty posts per page again, so that's good. He also set it so that you have to log on to access the board, but that has now been turned off again - can someone please let me know that you can now read the board without being signed in? And I believe he's fixed it so I'm the only one who can change the daily topic, so I'm going to check that out now. So, the only thing left is for the pro guy to make it so we can see users at the top of the posting pages.

der Brucer, there area many posts yesterday about how to fix your avatar photo - can someone tell him please? Also, until later, if you don't want guests to be able to see your e-mail address in your profile, simply go to your profile and you'll find some box to tick that will hide it from the general public.
-
I can see faces & personal info when I check a person's profile.
-
You cannot see "personal" info other than e-mail addresses, and you can only see those if someone hasn't done that preference. There is no other personal information, as far as I know. Also, about 20,000 user accounts have been deleted.
-
Welcome eight GUESTS.
-
Guess I'll finish the act two fixes.
-
Couldn't we always read the board without signing in, in other words lurk? We just couldn't see the avatars or browse the profiles, as well as post.
-
I'm about ready to head out for the play. I think I will walk down 9yj Avenue until I reach the theatre at St Clements at 46th Street or become tired.
I had a tasty dinner of steamed veggies and chicken with brown rice and a little brown sauce from my fave Chinese place. I'll take with me a half an apple and some almonds and walnuts, in case I need a bit of refreshment around 9:00.
The exciting news is that tomorrow morning we're meeting DR edisaurus at a coffee shop on 14th Street. I doubt I'll walk there.

Our gender, age & location are shown along with un-hidden email addresses. I know that isn't much but I didn't think you could view these before without registering.
Great news regarding all the deleted accounts.
-
Well, Michael Shayne (AKA Norm DePloom) yesterday as Benjamin at 4:19pm I wrote this about that.
Damn I've been found out!
I wanted to keep the mystery going
Oh well :-(
-
Damn I've been found out!
I wanted to keep the mystery going
I had not figured it out, if it's any consolation.
-
Nor had I.
-
We're going to try to isolate the guests being able to browse - Mark isn't sure it's possible with the new software - but I've asked the other guy to look into it later. You should be able to read the board now without signing in - I asked for someone to try it, please, and let me know right away.
-
As bk indicated, I can read the board again without logging in.
However, as DR Jane posted, I can also read profiles without logging in [email address is hidden, if so checked, but you can see the avatar, the gender, age, location, etc.] Previously, I believe, you could not view a profile at all unless logged in as a registered member. Personally, I think that in this case, the old way is better.
-
Dakota Celt wrote on my Facebook wall - she said she hoped the board would be fixed someday. I suggested that she might try reading THE NOTES for a change.
-
What is "add to the buddy list" I tried it and the only difference I saw was "remove from the buddy list" ;D
-
As I said, the pro guy will look at this later.

-
DR Jane, I think it's just an easy way to assemble a list of DRs you might want to PM. Just a convenience, really, to keep from having to respond to an old message or re-look them up when addressing a PM.
-
DR Singdaw, I'll see if I can email you using the buddy system.
-
We're all buddies here.

Where is our Dear Reader Laura?
-
I'm listening to all sorts of fun CDs today - currently playing is the soundtrack to Pony Soldier by Alex North.
-
Where am I?
Oh dear! I don't think we're in Kansas any more Toto!
-
I am so little!
-
I think that last post of mine was a bit misleading - I love Young Frankenstein and the original The Producers and Silent Movie , High Anxiety amongst other Mel Brooks work but when he himself is the actor there is so much scenery chewing I have to look away
I have had have a poster from the original TO BE OR NOT TO BE. I rescued it from the half-sunken basement of an old deserted theater in Ellensburg, WA (Ann and Jed's hometown) back in the 60s. The poster proclaims it as Carole Lombard's last film, so it may have been from a second release.
-
I may just keep this name. I used the other name because we had another Laura at the time.
-
Then you really WILL be Dr. Laura! :D
-
Today is a work day. Oh well.
TOD:
DVD - Perry Mason extras including interviews and screen tests, interesting.
CD - State Fair original soundtracks, still fun to listen to
VHS - The Leather Boys with Colin Campbell, Rita Tushingham, and Dudley Sutton
THE LEATHER BOYS is the first film that I remember Time Magazine referring to as "having homosexual undertones."
-
I hope I shall recover in time for tomorrow morning's gathering with DR Edisaurus.
Right now, any time I get vertical, my nose runs like a faucet.
-
"having homosexual undertones."
Now, if you had written underpants, I could really relate!
-
I had a BLT-A for lunch - very nice sandwich, no mayo. And a side salad with French dressing - I was told that their French dressing was non-fat - it was very good.
-
I'll eat something else later, as that wasn't quite enough food.
-
DR Laura (I kind of liked the DearReader in front of your name) if you change the current Laura name to DR Laura, then you can change your DearReader Laura name to simply Laura again. Then you maintain your "Hero" stasis ;)
-
DR Ben, as I washed out my oatmeal bowl this morning I thought of you.
Is that romantic?
-
On TV Tonight:
And for us Sc-Fi-iacs there is the 2hr Pilot of the new series SANCTUARY!
The preview of this, with Amanda Tapping affecting a bad English accent, has put me right off watching.
-
Last night my Pops Choir surprised me with a big brownie cake and cookies for my upcoming celebration of not being quite dead yet on Monday. It was very nice as DS Betsy is in Reno and thus will not be able to provide me with the standard chocolate cake that many of you have sampled whilst at our semi-lovely home, at least on my natal day.
JMK, what has become of JulieC40 and her her sister PDXJane? One trip to New York and they left us?
-
Dakota Celt wrote on my Facebook wall - she said she hoped the board would be fixed someday. I suggested that she might try reading THE NOTES for a change.
She probably wrote this when everything seemed incommunicado.

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place
Any more
It would be so fine to see your face
at my door
and it doesn't help to know
that you're just time away...

WOW!

Nope, she wrote it today. She simply tried coming to the old board and had no idea of what's been going on because she doesn't read the notes.

We received a beautiful post card from DR Tomovoz & DP Colin.
All is well in the beautiful country they are traveling through. They are discovering beautiful villages & spectacular scenery and the people are friendly.
I’m to send a hello to Bruce and all dear readers at HHW.
Not exactly the postcard, but close.

I often begin with the discussions, catch up & then read the notes. She may not have received your email regarding the situation, seen on Facebook the site was down & stopped looking.

Does she have a job?

Benjamin is no longer.
He went the way of 19,949 other accounts only I did it myself. 8)
Since Mark cleaned out the Member List we now have 309 members (as of this evening). When I looked yesterday we had 20,258 and now we have 309. All the porn names are gone along with the jibberish names and other detrius. 162 people have made at least one post. 147 people are registered but have never posted. Our membership should not increase so quickly anymore since we have the capture box which requires an entry to verify you are a human being registering and not just a bot filling out the form.
-
Oh, H*ll, instead of just sitting here I will take myself to an even 6700 posts.
-
It's time for a walk to the NYPL and some play in the Bert Lahr collection.
I am sure you are not the first man to say that!

Good Evening!
I'm all caught up on the posts, and now it's time to remember which posts I need and want to respond to. Alas, it appears that opening a reply in a "tabbed" window is not possible with the new board/software.
-
;D
-
DR elmore - Hmm... I had totally forgotten about the NYMF show tomorrow afternoon. However, I don't have any plans, so... We'll talk in the morning at breakfast.
-
TOD: Nothing, but I did sit outside for a while and watched butterflies, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, finches, and dragonflies fly around the yard.
-
So, yes, I should be able to make it to breakfast with Amy and Friends tomorrow morning. -Although, i was looking forward to sleeping in. ;)
-
I'm really happy this spam bot thing is at an end!
-
Well, this day has gone by very quickly, hasn't it? I'm listening to The Boys From Brazil soundtrack, a new 2 CD release.
-
And now that I've finished my lunch - falafel! -
Laters...
Isn't he the one that sang the Nestle's Quik song?

Did all of Benjamin's posts disappear with him?
Thanks for the good news regarding the excessive membership. I'm very happy to hear this problem shouldn't happen again.
-
DR JMK - You mentioned that the Quick Reply "error" was an MSN thing, but then you said that it worked fine in IE. Does that mean that MSN doesn't use IE - which is a Microsoft product - as it's built-in browser? ???
-
Falafel--wasn't that the name of the Nestles dog?
I do dislike having Dan the Man back!
-
DR Ron Pulliam - Falafel You!
;D
-
As opposed to "Falafel U" - Home of the Charging Chickpeas!

They say that the heat wave is over. It was only about eighty in the Valley today. Tomorrow they say some drizzles - we shall see. I might have some prosciutto and melon this evening.
-
Or more salad.

At long last page eleven.

Oh! DR EvilTwin filmed a guest shot (again) on ONE LIFE TO LIVE today.
-
At long last page eleven.
. . .or is it at long last love?

I wonder why this up-loads as such a tiny avatar?
Funny, when I touch you, you don't grow very much!

Hmm.. I wonder if she did that before or after I saw her?
:)

MSN uses IE, but it also has proprietary add-ons that do weird things from time to time.

No, Jane, my posts as Benjamin are still there. The account has been deleted but the posts stay without a picture and it says Guest on the left side where all the other member information would be.

You haven't been shocked since Truman defeated Dewey!

Richard and I just returned from Middfest, where we visited the history exhibit in gers (nomadic housing), watched Mongolian and Brazilian-Italian dancers, ate dinner, and greeted many
old long-time friends. The crowd was very sparse and I hope it picks up tomorrow and Sunday.
-

I guess we could figure it out by where and when you saw her. ;)

Ain't falafel the heat ain't falafel.
Just testing the new board here.
-
Hmmm, i guess it doesn't say you've edited when you edit. So much mischief is possible. :)
-
WOW!?!?!?!?
They cancelled tonight's performance of Oklahoma at Papermill Playhouse due to a possible bomb found outside the Lincoln Tunnel. Apparently, a suspicious looking bottle was found, thankfully, it was found to be harmless. But since they had closed the tunnel from 4-7 - rush hour! - the actor's vans were not able to make it to Millburn for tonight's show. -And there were two suspicious looking bottles found on Wednesday too.

Well, I saw here in the afternoon, after 2:00, so...
-
So, from now on, anyone, member or guest, will be able to see our photos? Not that anyone is going to recognize me.
-
Did someone mention not being impressed with PS Classic releases?
Have they listened to Jason Danieley and the Frontier Heroes? It's a might fine album, you betcha. I love the arrangements, especially "As Long As She Needs Me."
I'm more impressed by this album than I was by "Opposite You."
-
If you saw her after two, DR Jose, then she should have already filmed it. Did you see her near the studio?
-
The last place I would want to be when a bomb went off would be the Lincoln Tunnel. Second, I guess, would be the Holland Tunnel.
-
If you saw her after two, DR Jose, then she should have already filmed it. Did you see her near the studio?
She came in to sing this afternoon. -And she did say to say HI to you, so.... HI!
-
No, Jane, my posts as Benjamin are still there. The account has been deleted but the posts stay without a picture and it says Guest on the left side where all the other member information would be.
So another Benjamin can come in and register for keeps?
-
So what did Janet sing?
-
OH!...
And I happened to pass an unintentionally humorous(?) situation while walking down 23rd Street earlier this evening-
They are showing the new movie, "Blindness", at Chelsea Clearview Cinemas. On the sidewalk outside the theatre there were picketers. Blind picketers. Some had friends with them guiding them, others had their guide dogs with them. Now, I wasn't able to grab a flyer to find out exactly why thy where picketing the movie, but some of the signs mentioned "stereotypes", "bad examples", etc. Well...
Some people who were walking by, stopped to talk to some of the picketers. Alas, the first question that would come out of their mouths was.. "So, have you seen..." -Then they would stop asking that question once they realized how "funny" that question was. :-\
*And after some Googling: Blind activists plan protest of movie 'Blindness' (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gOvWdPXukO9JfR9ixHz2ppMqzaAwD93HBDTO0)
-
So what did Janet sing?
OY! Honestly, I can't remember right now... But lemme think a bit. However, it was something I hadn't played for her before. -We were also down to hearing 8-bar cuts, so... Hmm... ???
-
When I spoke to her last night, she mentioned that she was looking for her 16 bars, and would be fretting about that.
-
I'm gonna take my leave for a few hours, so that I may watch that Bollywood movie, AAMIR; it's the one without songs, but loads of action.
-
No, Jane, my posts as Benjamin are still there. The account has been deleted but the posts stay without a picture and it says Guest on the left side where all the other member information would be.

I don't know. I should try re-registering again and use Benjamin to find out.
-
Jose, I walked by the Protest as it was about to happen. I thought I might go to a movie and I decided to walk up to Chelsea Cinemas to see what was playing. Ghost Town isn't there, it's at the theatre on 19th and Broadway. There was nothing at CC I wanted to see but I saw and heard the protesters. One of the signs said "I'm not an actor"
I saw clips from the movie and it doesn't look like anything I would want to see.
-
I tried to make my fisherman photo larger, but I can't figure out what to do. Then I tried to repost it, but it was too distorted to use.
-
So, Jose, as the weather gets chillier and chillier will you still try Shake Shack frozen custard and eat it outside? You should go to Saint Paul in January to the Winter Carnival. I remember years when it was 10 below but people were outside buying and eating the ice cream sold by the vendors. At least the ice cream didn't melt into runny rivulets down your hand.
-
Hi DR td & DD Miss Dixie.

The book was/is very good. -And from what I've been able to find, the blindness factor in the book was not protested, in fact, it was praised as metaphor for a natural disaster, a true human catastrophe. I understand whey they would protest the movie, but the blindness in the movie is something that happens suddenly and without warning - it's not congenital. It also happens on a mass level. So, just as with any sort of "epidemic", there are bound to be some problems that arise from the situation. ???
-I'll stop now before I end up offending anyone (else).

Ben! Almost ten o'clock on a Friday night and you are still posting? You temporary bachelors are wild and crazy.

This in on the news: "Doc Can't Distribute Anna Nicole's Boob Job Video"

Well... I've been there three times... well... five(?) times this week already - including today, so.. Yes.
*I really just want to try the different Feature Flavors for the month. So, I have three down, and four to go. It just so happened, that I hadn't tried all of September's featured flavors until the end of the month, so... Alas, they are also featuring their "Shacktoberfest" menu for the next week or so, so... We'll see. ;)

What exactly is a suspicious looking bottle? And is someone leaving suspicious looking bottles near the tunnel at rush hour on purpose?

It seems to me if the world suddenly went blind the people who have been blind prior to this would become the caregivers, or teachers of the newly blinded. Is this at all part of the story?

Good morning, all! I got caught up in reading the new Stephen Schwartz book and got to bed after 1. I'm a bit draggy this morning.
DRvixmom, the Pepperidge Farm orange cranberry bread is divoon! I see there are several other new breads in this series as well, but it's great for breakfast with a bit of low-fat butter substitute. I think li'l Mikey would like it as well.
I was thinking it might make a nice sandwich with some chicken salad or turkey salad as well...

It turned wet and chilly here today. I much preferred yesterday's comfortably cooler from the heat wave temps.
-
It seems to me if the world suddenly went blind the people who have been blind prior to this would become the caregivers, or teachers of the newly blinded. Is this at all part of the story?
Not really. Since there are sooo many people afflicted with the blindness at once, they are basically "herded" into quarantine since the authorities are not prepared to deal with such a situation. -And the authorities are also blinded too. Like many of the reviewers stated, it can be related to the situation of the Hurricane Katrina refugees, or of the famines in Africa.
-
It sounds strange, guess I need to read it, or watch if the reviews are good.
-
I'm gonna take my leave for a few hours, so that I may watch that Bollywood movie, AAMIR; it's the one without songs, but loads of action.
TD, be sure to let me know what you think of it!

I just browsed the member list. It is such a nice change.

TCB, I think you can only have a large photo if you had previously (under the old system) downloaded a photo to HHW.
Otherwise, it would seem you are out of luck.
However, there are many previous TCB photos in the cache for you to choose from, I noticed.

I did indeed have prosciutto and melon balls - so good. About three and a half ounces of prosciutto, sliced thin, and a cupful of balls. :)

Go to bed early! That's MY plan!

Tom, regarding the size of your avatar, the boat picture is not in the cache of photos in the Personalized Photo section. For some reason, no matter how it is sized, if a picture is used from a source other than the cache in the Profile section it is squeezed down to a small size so whatever you do to your boat it will be a dinghy, not a cruise ship ;)
There are, however, some larger pictures of you in the cache if you wanted to go back to one of them. If you want to use one of the cache pictures, click on Profile at the top of the page, then click on Forum Profile Information. Click on Personalized Picture and then start scrolling. I looked through every photo in the cache. The larger versions of you are 1) Fagin (this one is close to the top of the list), TCB2, TCB3, TCB5, TCB58, Tom2a, Tom2Abw, Tom 03-06b edited.
Just scroll down and click on the pictures to see them and you can choose the one you like best. After you've chosen, click Change Profile at the bottom of the page and you should have a full size avatar again.
-
Breakfast with good friends tomorrow morning. That's something to look forward to!
-
I just noticed we have our little computers under our star rankings again and they glow bright green if we are on and dark green if we are off and it says online or offline and we still have our glowing scroll under our avatars. Two ways to notice if someone is on.

Took the kids to a restaurant for dinner, then to Office Depot for a big box o' paper and then to Border's for various and sundried items, and they behaved beautifully. I'm wondering exactly whose kids these are, and where mine have gone.

I loved Charles MacArthur's JOHNNY ON A SPOT, a very cynical comedy set in a southern governor's mansion on election day around 1942 and the attempts of the governor's secretary and PR man to keep the voters unaware that the alcoholic governor who's just been elected to the senate was just found dead in in the local whorehouse. The play is filled with cynical hustlers and political advisors, corrupt cops, a horny southern belle, the whorehouse's madam posing as a nurse over the corpse, venal politicians, and graft. It all seems quite timely as well as reminiscent of Huey long and ALL THE KING'S MEN. I laughed myself silly at a farce that predated Joe Orton for completely unsympathetic characters. DRs JRand58 and TCB and BK would love playing this outrageous comedy. The production was wonderful and the cast was excellent. My friend Laura played the horny southern belle and Margery Beddows, who was Gewn Verdon's standby in REDHEAD, was a blowsy Rubenesque madam. It was truly wonderful.

Elmore, did you see that Palin Bingo made the AP story about the debate this morning?
No! I didn't. I'm happy to do my part.

Had an enjoyable evening of viewing. I began by watching the last six episodes of THE CULT OF CARTMAN (SOUTH PARK). All were enjoyably amusing, but like anything else like this, you can overdose on a character in a set like this. He's certainly the funniest member of the SOUTH PARK troupe, but there's a reason he isn't featured in every single episode. It's too much of a good thing to always have the spotlight on him.

The various HORATIO HORNBLOWER miniseries are my best friend John's favorite miniseries ever. Over the years, I've given him every one of those for either birthdays or Christmas.

Next, I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Luke and Noah were not there much to my surprise, and they weren't featured in the previews for next week either.

Is she the one we saw in The Horrible and Tragic Life of the Singing Nun?

Next I watched tonight's GHOST WHISPERER. I was very disappointed in much of Jamie Kennedy's performance. He guest starred on some series I reviewed recently (CSI: NY?) and gave a very good performance, but he was very unfocused and bland tonight, and now he's going to be a regular!
The show was just OK tonight, not a great season premiere.
-
And I concluded my evening watching tonight's episode of LIFE. It's such a breezy, enjoyable show. Not a greatg mystery tonight, but the interplay between the characters keeps things entertaining even when the story isn't first rate.

We think that it was beautifully cast... It came along just after we finished the Sharpe series

Good night!

Vixmom, did the vixter finish the book YET?

Vixmom, did the vixter finish the book YET?
I will ask her but I suspect not, she leaves for school at 6:45 AM and gets home after soccer practice and or games around 6 PM, then showers, eats and does homework
Soccer season is over ina couple of weeks and that should free her up a bit to read for pleasure again

Glad I rushed to get the book here :) Well, I hope she'll get around to it, since she wanted to read it so badly. Kids today.

Listening to a fantastic bossa nova import from Japan of Os Gatos - full orchestra, classic bossa tunes - I'd heard this group on a couple of my compilation CDs but couldn't find any releases until this one reared its beautiful head.
-
Ah, I spy JMK - any other Os Gatos CDs I should look for?

You know this is a Deodato arranged group, don't you?

Dori Caymmi, whom I've mentioned here repeatedly recently, produced.

She was desperate to have it for the plane ride to Canada when she had lots of time to read it, unfortunately it didn't arrive until the day we got back, the same day as scoccer began
Since she goes to bed aroud 9 (she's exhausted by then ) she really has no free time between school, soccer andher other obligations -after soccer her load will lighten up and she'll get it read
I know she loved the first few chapters she was able to read before the heay duty homework kicked in
-
Well I have to get up in 6 hours and drive 8 miles to wait in a large room with a bunch of stranger until it's my turn to pay someone to stick a big needle in my arm and take out some of my blood
-
laters!
-
Now I must take my leave. I have a large package from India to open.
John Abraham came to visit? ? ? ?
-
Any others floating around?
No, I think this was a one-off, but if you like this you should get Deodato's mid-60s group Os Catedraticos, and anything by Durval Ferrreira, the guitarist on this set.

On TV Tonight:
And for us Sc-Fi-iacs there is the 2hr Pilot of the new series SANCTUARY!
The preview of this, with Amanda Tapping affecting a bad English accent, has put me right off watching.
"Amanda Tapping was born in Rochford, Essex in England on August 28, 1965. She spent a short time in South Benfleet, Essex, and was relocated to Ontario, Canada, at the age of 3."
I don't know if her parents were from England, but her accent sounded fine to us.

Good news about Vixdad!
DR JMK, I think your children are wonderfully behaved.

OK - Well, I really should get to bed myself since I'm meeting the gang down in Chelsea in a little over seven hours.
Goodnight.

I gotta tell you. I've chosen the selections for tomorrow's reading. I've gotten three e-mails today from people who were definitely coming who are now definitely NOT coming. This could be a VERY small group tomorrow. I'm sort of annoyed - I asked so many people about this date before I booked it. They all said it was preferable to the September date, which I now wish I'd done. And then, suddenly, everyone was going to be out of town or suddenly had something else to do. This is not just me - it's happened to a bunch of other authors, several of whom are much more well known than I. Oh, well, it will be what it will be - nothing to be done about it, except to know that I, too, will suddenly be busy when I'm invited to certain events. :)

Well, I'm guessing the guests don't read the Notes either, and thus don't know about the new URL for the board.

That would be quite frustrating, indeed. Sorry BK
-
OJ's looking at at least a minimum of 15 years on just the Kidnapping charge. At his age and considering there are a total of 12 counts, looks to me like he'll be spending the rest of his life in prison, but he won't be sentenced until December

Darling Jose, we've had plenty of GUESTS since switching over to the new board - I've commented on the number several times. And despite the little snarkism, I can tell you that more people read the notes than ever come to this board - I have the stats, you see, and I can only tell you, for whatever reason, the notes are read by a LOT of folks every single day. My comment above was based on the fact that Bakalor, for a short time today, disabled everyone who wasn't signed in from reading the board - we fixed that pronto.

BK, I checked a few minutes ago and it said "2 Guests" it's now back to 0, but I think guests have the ablility to sign on and read the board

Yes, I was one of the GUESTS, just testing it out.

A lot of times a judge lets a jury decide if they want to deliberate into the night or if they want to go home and come back the next day. They didn't have that option when I was in Phoenix, but I know they give them that option here and in many other places

So, O.J. is going to jail?

The verdict came in on the 13th Anniversary of his acquittal in the murder trial... Is that the old karma wagon sneaking up on him or what

So, O.J. is going to jail?
Yes, they just cuffed him and he's in custody. The reporter is now saying with mandatory minimums it's at least 20+ years.

***SAFE & EASY TRAVEL VIBES***
for DRs Edisaurus and George!!!!
Thanks! I'm in Coquille, Oregon right now! The drive was long, but uneventful. It was either overcast or slight rain, but no downpour as we drove. Here, it was overcast and windy. We ordered Chinese food to go for dinner from a local restaurant (I had orange chicken and rice...pretty good) and we played Phase 10. Then we all got ready for bed except me, because I had to get my HHW fix. ;)
-
I haven't read any of today's posts (yet), but we're back to 30 posts per page! I like that...but that's just me. :)

Notes are written and will be up in five minutes.
-
Dakota Celt wrote on my Facebook wall - she said she hoped the board would be fixed someday. I suggested that she might try reading THE NOTES for a change.
She probably wrote this when everything seemed incommunicado.
Nope, she wrote it today. She simply tried coming to the old board and had no idea of what's been going on because she doesn't read the notes.
I often begin with the discussions, catch up & then read the notes. She may not have received your email regarding the situation, seen on Facebook the site was down & stopped looking.
There was an e-mail????????????
-
Just had another definite e-mail me and say they weren't coming - it's SO annoying.

I posted the updates in the notes, but also sent an e-mail to a few people, asking them to spread it around. You would have been on the list, Ron, but I had like eight different addresses for you and had no idea which one was correct.
-
I also got an e-mail from Dakota earlier today and I just replied. I didn't know if she had gotten an answer from someone else, but I specifically told her to bookmark www.haineshisway.com and NOT www.haineshisway.com/community, which goes directly to the old board.
