Well, you've read the notes, the notes were retro and got a good grade, and now it is time for you to post until the retrograde cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PALMARY!
-
Which is not the same as paljoey.
-
And here's my 20,000th Post...just from a few minutes ago. :)

Well, it's time for beddie-by, so let me end tonight on a palendromic number.
And Congrats, BK, on the sold-out-ness of the Bernstein CD!
-
CONGRATULATIONS, DR George, on your lofty new perch in the HHW stratosphere! :)
-
So sorry, DR Ben. :( Hope you get a replacement ticket, pronto.

***CONTINUING HEALTH & RECOVERY VIBES***

DR JoseSPiano - I'm reading Kenny Shopsin's book/cookbook, Eat Me!, and am enjoying it a great deal. :) Thanks for alerting me to his existence!

And the word of the day is: PALMARY!
And The Song Of The Day Is: EXTRAORDINARY

Good morning, all! My colleague at the PHI office cancelled on me this morning, so I will putter about here for the next couple of hours - I have some Volume 2 writing on BABES - and walk down to visit my nutritionist around 11:15. Depending on whether my bank transfer occurs, I'll either run to the NYPL or to the pharmacy for some med refills.
-
George-
Congratulations on Your "EXTRAORDINARY" accomplishment.
What a Millstone!
-
Continued speedy recovery vibes to Jose's mom
-
Congrats, George, on your milestone.
If 20 blocks is a mile in most cities, isn't 20,000 a true milestone?
-
Most people don't know that the first draft of the advertising campaign was:
"I'd walk 20 blocks for a Camel."
-
Wednesday morning greetings! I've been in the office for just an hour and am leaving now for a luncheon event. When that's over, so is my workday, so I'll be back to visit with y'all later this afternoon.
-
For some reason, my computer is only partially loading the bk notes. I'll have to go back later to try to read them all.
-
Good morning!
A night of very upsetting dreams didn't bring about restful sleep. Perhaps tonight will be better. It's another cool morning leading to a very warm afternoon. Overall, looks like a gorgeous day.
-
After I cleaned the den this morning, I sat down and finished the rest of the bonus features on SLEEPING BEAUTY. The game where Maleficent's orb asks a series of questions and can guess what you're thinking is lots of fun. It certainly guessed what I was thinking the first time I tried. If I had had more time, I would have tried again.
-
On TV Tonight!
Due to the debate, only an hour of prime time is given over to entertainment programming.
CBS - comedies
ABC - PUSHING DAISIES
NBC - KNIGHT RIDER
FOX - baseball
BRAVO - PROJECT RUNWAY
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm guessing that Mercury might have sneaked back in to retrograde this morning since I could only read the first part of the Notes too. ???
-
Today I'll watch the NCIS episode from yesterday as I cook and eat lunch. I also have last night's THE MENTALIST and THE SHIELD to watch at some point today (probably tonight). I may record PUSHING DAISIES and watch it tonight. I quit the show in the middle of its shortened season last year, but I may revisit it tonight if I get my work done.
-
I'll spend most of the afternoon watching the second disc of bonus features on Criterion's release of MISSING. Looking forward to those.
-
My Mom was already up and talking at the hospital this morning... :)
I was going to go over this morning, but her nurse suggested that only one of us head over this morning so that my Mom doesn't have too many things or people to concentrate on. I'm a little bummed, but they also said that it looks like they will be moving her to her regular recovery room tonight(!), so I'll see her then. :)
*However, I woke up today "feeling my sinuses", so, I was already feeling a little apprehensive about heading to the hospital as soon as I got out of bed. In the meantime, I'm having a very leisurely breakfast - oatmeal, yogurt, green tea - and I'm taking care of a couple of emails and phone calls. -And I'm surfing the net as well. ;)
-
Oh... The projected high temp today here in Richmond is: 85(!!!!).
-I really want Fall.
-
So...
Anderson Cooper doesn't really go to concerts, but he has recently been to concerts by Prince and The Scissor Sisters... Hmmm...
-The things you learn from morning talk shows. ;)
-
...And I'm guessing that Mercury might have sneaked back into retrograde this morning

-
Sorry about that, DR JoseSPiano. Hope that you can see your mom as soon as possible.
-
BK, i wonder if you could put some type of note up on the old board telling people where the new board is. I'd hate for occasional readers not to know where to go.
-
Sorry about that, DR JoseSPiano. Hope that you can see your mom as soon as possible.
Like I said, I am a little bummed, however, I think I may be in the early stages of a sinus infection, so.. Some rest today would be a good thing.
-
BK, i wonder if you could put some type of note up on the old board telling people where the new board is. I'd hate for occasional readers not to know where to go.
It all clicks through to the new board now if you read the Notes.
-
Sorry about that, DR JoseSPiano. Hope that you can see your mom as soon as possible.
Or were you sorry about Anderson Cooper liking Prince and The Scissor Sisters?
-
Ummm.. So, Anderson Cooper is filling in for Regis Philbin today (this week?), and James Marsden is their first guest... Yummy! Yummy!
-
Oohh... And James Marsden runs along the West Side Hwy... Hmm... Maybe I do need to explore more places other than The Reservoir?
;D
-
DR JoseSPiano - I'm reading Kenny Shopsin's book/cookbook, Eat Me!, and am enjoying it a great deal. :) Thanks for alerting me to his existence!
You're welcome, DR singdaw.
*Hmmm... I'm wondering if I should start planning another HHW Eating and Walking Tour concentrating on some of the more interesting places to eat in NYC. Hmmm... Of course, if we hit Shopsin's it would have to be each Hainsie or Kimlet for him/herself. ;)
-
Well, I didn't read the Notes, either, because my Chrome browser warned me that the page was trying to load malware to my PC. So I have no idea what the TOD is about.
-
More good news about your mom, DR Jose! Hopefully, you'll be allowed to get into to see her today.
So you woke up "feeling your sinuses"...uh-huh...I guess that's the new slang out there nowadays...
-

No that is not what i meant. i meant if you did not read the notes but just went to the old forum.
-
my Chrome browser warned me that the page was trying to load malware to my PC.
Odd. This just happened to me too. But early this morning it appeared to be just fine. ???
So I have no idea what the TOD is
Isn't Wednesday usually "Ask bk"? :)
-
Btw, is anybody else having problems reading the notes. I only got half a page, with no place to click.
And then when i came here it said:
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

Tried to watch HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL on TCM last night but found that I could not stand any of the characters, young and adult alike. So I watched Woody Allen's LOVE AND DEATH instead and laughed my ass off.
"No, you're Don Francisco's sister."
-
Okay i hadn't loaded page 2 when i wrote my comments. I guess others are having problems with the notes too!
Tonight i will watch:
Pushing Daisies
So you think you can dance canada.
-
So I have no idea what the TOD is

You're right--I should have asked BK.
-
and laughed my ass off.
That is one way to lose weight! :)
-
Mercury retrograde has struck the notes.....I clicked on the Daily Column archive and read it from there....even though the first half was shaded!
Vibes for DR JOSE et al.
-
Mercury is indeed out of retrograde.....but things are still a bit technically challenging.
-
BK, i wonder if you could put some type of note up on the old board telling people where the new board is. I'd hate for occasional readers not to know where to go.

But you're always supposed to read the Notes first. ;)
*Besides, it's probably better that some of those "Guests" are not reading the new forum. -And, I'm also guessing that some of those "Guests" may have been "phishing" programs.
-
Well, I didn't read the Notes, either, because my Chrome browser warned me that the page was trying to load malware to my PC. So I have no idea what the TOD is about.
"Malware"... Hmm... I wonder if the site got hacked?
-
Sounds like it may have.
-
Here is a short article from Playbill On-Line basically saying the same thing I said last night about
Billy Elliot (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/122342.html).
It looks like Fred and Skip should be able to see the show today.
I will head over to the Ticket Office in about a half hour to see what I can do about getting another ticket.
-
For some reason, my computer is only partially loading the bk notes. I'll have to go back later to try to read them all.
. . .and here I thought it was only MY computer!
-
My Norton AntiVirus also told me about the malware.
-
-And it looks like something is going on with this board too right now. I'm getting the new "too many connections" error message periodically.
-
So...
Is anyone else a little weirded out by the new DirectTV commercial based on "Poltergeist"? Craig T. Nelson is "live", but having the footage of Heather O'Rourke... :-\
-
I'm heading down now to check the mail and then start thinking about some lunch.
WBBL.
-
I'm getting the new "too many connections" error message periodically.
Me too.

Well, at least you'll get to see her later in the day, and it sounds as if everything went swimmingly so far. Enjoy your day. What happened to your movie plans?

I don't know what the hell is going on. I just tried to post a respnse to Jose's report on his mother and I was told my session had timed out, the second time I tried, a green "loading in" sign appeared and stayed on for what seemed a long time, and the third time I was told there were too many connections. Let's see what happens this time!
-
The notes seem to be fine now, however I can not seem to wake up this morning. Perhaps I should not have given up coffee.
-
>>>HUGS TO DR JOSE AND HIS DEAR MOM<<<
-
I could not log on a few minutes ago - nor could I access the notes - "Safari could not open the page “http://www.haineshisway.com/smf/index.php” because the server is not responding." I wrote our host asking them to fix it and to let me know the problem (they won't), but then everything suddenly worked, so I wrote them back and said never mind. It does sound like something happened during the night.
-
So, both sections of the notes are now okay?
-
I'm up and foggy and groggy and out of it, but hopefully that will clear up soon. My sinuses were completely blocked when I woke up, probably the reason I woke up.
-
something happened during the night.
Something Happened During the Night...
The title of my next adult film...
;)
-
So, both sections of the notes are now okay?
I'm still blocked from them. Some kind of virus error message [using IE 6.0] :(
-
I adored the Charlie Chan films. Often predictable but always entertaining!
-
Good morning. That is all. For now.
-
I'm getting the new "too many connections" error message periodically.
Me too.
And moi aussi....many, many, many times this morning. I've only now been able to "read" page 2.
-
singdaw, try clearing your cache and access them again - if you get the same virus warning, please send it to me so I can send it to them. I can access both sections of the notes just fine via safari.
-
I'm having a very leisurely breakfast - oatmeal, yogurt, green tea. ;)
Golly, but you know how to make a man's mouth water......not!
-
try clearing your cache and access them again - if you get the same virus warning, please send it to me
I tried and got the same error message, but since I'm at work it could be some weird network thing. I'll see what it looks like when I get home tonight.
-
Everything is working fine for me now. HHW wise, that is.
-
Good Afternoon!
At last, the board is complete again!
-
Alas, over the past hour or so, my sinuses seemed to have taken a turn for the worse, so I think I'm going to crawl back into bed to rest and recuperate.
My Dad just got back from the hospital, and he did see and talk to my mother. She's very, very tired - and understandably so. Hopefully, I'll be able to see here later tonight.
Laters...
-
Glad to hear your mom is doing well, Jose. Take care of yourself!
-
Btw, is anybody else having problems reading the notes. I only got half a page, with no place to click.
And then when i came here it said:

I didn't have any trouble. :-\
-
CONGRATULATIONS, DR George, on your lofty new perch in the HHW stratosphere! :)
Thanks! And thanks also to DRs ArnoldMBrockman, FJL and Dan (the Man)!! :-*
-
MBarnum, were you aware that Tracey Ullman's Showtime series State of the Union features a mini-Bollywood number in each episode? One of her many characters is an Indian pharmacist who breaks into song as she dispenses her drugs. Just got the first season DVD yesterday to review and thought you would enjoy knowing that if you didn't already.
-
Yes, DR George, my congratulations on your 20,000-plus posts, as well!
This time next year, we'll be looking at "singdaw" from a different perspective, I suspect.
-
I hope DR Jose is resting well & wakes up feeling just fine!
-
"singdaw" from a different perspective
Like Babs, I am only photographed from my left side.
;)
-
The internet is finally stablized at home...
However HHW is blocked at work for some odd reason... When I asked ITS why they said offensive material... They did not explain their definition of offensive....
-
Nice pic Ron!

Hi DR Ann, DW of Jed, and tired DM of darling DS Toby. How are you today?

Last night we watched MY OWN WORST ENEMY and found it intriguing. Christian Slater does an excellent job. If I hadn't read about it here we would have missed it. Thank you Matt H. & George.

;)
-
Good morning all. We are doing pretty well. Toby is asleep in my lap, having finished his morning nursing session. Actually he fell asleep part way through it, so he shall probably be awake and wanting more soon. I've mastered the nursing-and-surfing technique already, so I always have the computer nearby. Last night he got the most intense bout of hiccups at about 4 am. He kept looking at me with an expression that seemed to be saying "what on earth is happening, mom? can't you make it stop?" Sadly, I could not.
Laura, I responded to your message. Thanks, I hadn't see it pop up as new until you pointed it out.
-
I have been able to read all the notes all by myself.

DR Ann, I like your new avatar :)
-
Thank you, Jane. I'm trying to make it bigger, with no success yet..
-
I still haven't figured out how to do that & can't remember who, if at all, succeeded.
I copy & pasted the photo onto my outlook express where it appears large enough for me to see what a nice photo it really is. I'm looking forward to watching our first HHW baby grow up.
-
Dakota Celt - you should speak to the ITS people - there is nothing "offensive" on this site, and we don't like the implication that there is - you can pass that along to them if you like.
-
Back from the long jog - really hard today - my back was really sore from the halfway point. But, I made it and am here to tell the tale. Waiting for the pool man to arrive so I can tell him that one more week of green water is not going to be acceptable.
-
I have been having an ongoing battle with the local ITS on campus. STudents are reporting problems accessing the American Cancer site and several others. Apparently they are finding the search terms "breast" offensive...
There is nothing on this site that is offensive...
-
one more week of green water is not going to be acceptable.
It's not easy being green...

I suppose someone could point out to them that what THEY'RE doing is offensive and also legally problematic if anyone wanted to raise a stink.
-
I am looking for anew pic for me.... Getting a tad bored with the one I have..

-
Today's campus newspaper should give them a wakeup call... Several students raised heck in the student newspaper...
nothing like bad publicity to give someplace a wakeup call
-
I remember years ago putting a blocker on the computer to keep the boys from accessing inappropriate sites. After a few days I had to remove it because they couldn't access the sites they needed to do research for school work.
-
I'm so confused.
One minute I sees it and the next minute I doesn't sees it.
-
Sees what?
-
Sees the day? Sees the moment?
-
It's very pretty outside - nice warm day, but not too too hot.

I have to go to the bank and I'd like to do so now and get it out of the way, but I don't want to miss the pool man. Of course, there's no guarantee of when he'll be here.
-
Guess I'll wait till noon, and then maybe get the bank business out of the way - shouldn't take that long anyway.
-

How long have you been skipping Singdaw's posts? ;D

They wanted to stop people going to porn sites. I can under stand the principle but what works in principle does not always work in practice.
There are some sites that can only be located by certain words and phrases.

The only thing I can remotely think of is that they took offense to nudie and construed that as nude and thus porn....

JMK, I had no idea! I wonder if any of it is posted on Youtube! I must check this out, I will bet it is hilarious.
-
I truly like coming here. I have learned a lot also how theatre works, how shows are developed...
I have enjoyed reading the many adventures on this board..
-
I have seen worse on some fan boards but they are not blocked... Ihave seen copyright violations on those boards. Yet they are allowed to be access...
a conundrum
-
Heck, they allow youtube and some of the stuff I have come across on there is not exactly clean...
However saying that, youtube does have many excellent applications for researchers, fans, and people like us!
-
And what porn site uses the word "breast"?
-
And what porn site uses the word "breast"?
Exactly what I was going to ask.

Or "nudie". Only dildo would be used on a porn site but not with the word dancing attached to it.

Mbarnum, I notice on facebook you are a fan of MST3K...
Have you seen the original eppies of the show? There are some shows that were broadcast only in the upper midwest. I found them ontime on Youtube....

Heck, by noon the bank may have folded :D

That is what I would like to know also... I have heard rumours that the person owrking in the ITS department and is very anti on many things....
He is also anti-woman
-
I have brought the matter up to a couple of governing bodies on campus and they are not happy... They had over 200 complaints from across campus including professors doing research
-
I hoping to see it resolved in a few days.... Heck once the president finds out... and he is not an easly amused person by such silliness
Actually he is rather liberal and open minded person

Curiously, the last two posts I made did not appear to go through during the tsuris around 11 am EST. I had a great walk to my nutritionist, lost around 4 lbs, and I don't need to see her again until Dec. 15.
After that, I stopped by City Center and visited by adopted son Josh clayton in the Encores! office for about 45 minutes. Then, a bus ride home and voila!
I have nothing else to report. I see DR Dakotacelt has found her way back to us and DR singdaw is threatening a porn shoot. Scary!
Now, if only that damned property would close this week, I would be content.

I wanted to be the judge when the boys were young. I didn't know how to screen there viewing, heck I barely knew how to turn the computer on & off, and Keith was traveling most the time. I just waked in and out of the room as much as possible while the computer was on, at least when I was awake. I began doing that after noticing the screen changed very quickly as I walked in. I never asked why.
-

Well, the site does promote the movie TFNM - a movie that no small number of people would consider "porn".
This site is also gay-freindly - so "Good Parents" need to protect thier impressionable off-spring from the homosexual agenda.
This site had also been known to post unkind remarks about public officials and so is clearly of suspicious intent.
This site also promotes the Lambada - the forbidden dance!
This site also allows posts that remark kindly on the works of ALW - clearly subversive!

And to think...BK asked me to pull a pic of an anatomically correct stuffed toy to keep us "family friendly".

The luncheon event that I helped with today went perfectly - good food, good speaker, and excellent weather for us to eat outdoors under the canopy. I left there about 1:30, met Richard at the place he'd taken my car for routine maintenance, traded cars with him, and went shopping for the rest of what I needed for the wedding present I'm taking to GA this weekend. I got home just in time to greet UPS delivering the new outfit that Richard bought me to wear to his graduation later this month. It will also do nicely as my retirement party outfit.

My mom seemed to be under the same philosophy. When I was seven years old, we visited a dear friend of hers whose partner had AIDS. He was in the final stages, I remember, and they were taking care of him at home because it was where he wanted to be. I asked my mom what he had and how he got it, and she told me in simple but detailed terms. A lot of information for a young kid, maybe, but I understood it and it left a strong lesson in my mind. AIDS was never an abstract thing for me again. I think kids are capable of handling a lot more than we give them credit for sometimes.

Do you mean abstract things like a playmate having two mommies -- and that's okay? -- or having two daddies -- and that's also okay?
I'm sick of the hypocrisy and lies we're getting on the pro-Prop. 8 ads here in California. Did you know that "they" are saying that making it legal for gay men and women to marry same-sex partners means that schools will be teaching that it is OKAY for boys to marry boys? For girls to marry girls? RUN FOR THE HILLS. I don't know why schools would be "teaching" that unless they also teach that the norm is for boys to marry girls but that some boys like only boys and some girls like only girls.
I know one thing: Being raised by heterosexuals in a heterosexual environment that vocally denounces homosexuality NEVER DETERRED ANYONE FROM BEING HOMOSEXUAL.
So I don't know how the reverse would or could be true.
Another lie being told is that churches would be liable for lawsuits for hate crimes (!!!) and would start being taxed for not accepting gay marriages. Well, GEE....they aren't taxed if they refuse to marry divorcees. Catholics aren't taxed for excommunicating folks. Mormons and Quakers and Amish aren't taxed for shunning. Why would a church's beliefs about gay marriage be the backbreaker????

The legality of marriage and this proposition have no impact whatever on churches. Churches don't have to marry anyone they don't wish to marry or approve of. It's all propaganda intended to mislead and misrepresent what is really nothing more than "equal" rights for all in regards to legal unions. Since one can legally marry in a government office, sans religious officiation, the entire argument is moot.

Unfortunately, a bunch of over-zealous activists ouside the US (Canada, UK, Sweden) have managed to get pastors charged with Hate Crimes based on sermon content. These cases are still winding their way throught the courts:
ASSOCIATED PRESS (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,147084,00.html)
SWEDISH PASTOR ACQUITTED AFTER ANTI-GAY SERMON
Friday , February 11, 2005
STOCKHOLM, Sweden —
A Swedish pastor convicted of hate crimes for a sermon denouncing homosexuals as a "cancer" was acquitted Friday by an appeals court that said he was protected by the country's free speech laws.
The Goeta Appeals Court said that while Aake Green's (search) views of gays can be "strongly questioned," it was not illegal to offer a personal interpretation of the Bible and urge others to follow it.
"The purpose of making agitation against gays punishable is not to prevent arguments or discussions about homosexuality, not in churches or in other parts of society," the court said.
Green, 63, was the first clergyman convicted under Sweden's tough hate crimes (search) laws, which make it a crime to make inflammatory remarks against racial, religious or national groups. The laws were ratified in 2003 to include homosexuals.

IF 80 calories is doable for a treat, you can buy those pre-made Jell-o Puddings and a can of Cool Whip (there IS a low-cal version) and combining a dollop of Cool Whip on the pudding is about 80 calories.
If you buy Jell-O, a one-cup serving with Cool Whip is about 40 calories...so you can have TWO, count 'em 2!

HOWEVER, when the DVDs were being prepared for release, they couldn't get the DVD rights to the song. They, of course, wanted to release the season, so they just left off that one episode.

Normally for a series, if they're using the same music multiple episodes they'll do one licensing and mechanical deal to cover the season - or so I should think. There might be extra required for DVD release, but it would be minimal.

I love those pudding cups and cool whip - they're great. I can do 200 calories for a treat, as long as the fat gram count is reasonable and as long as my meal or meals o' the day aren't over 1100 calories or so - I can maintain and/or lose eating up to 1500/1700 calories a day, as long as I do the long jog, which I do daily.
-
I got in the car and went looking for food - nothing I passed interested me in the least. Not even Taco Bell. I may just make some eggs and toast instead, and then have something a little later, plus I could then eat three or even four macaroons if I felt like it. Of course, I don't feel like eggs and toast either. And therein lies the conundrum. I would probably eat a Philly Cheesesteak but that is not calorie friendly in the least, although it is under 1000 calories.

ASSOCIATED PRESS (http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/14/ohio-elections/)
JUDGE RULES AGAINST OHIO ELECTIONS OFFICIAL IN BATTLE OVER VOTER REGISTRATION
CINCINNATI -- A federal appeals court has ordered Ohio's top elections official to set up a system by Friday to verify new voters' eligibility.
The full 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati has upheld an earlier ruling that Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner has to use other government records to check the thousands of new voters for registration fraud. A three-judge panel of the 6th Circuit had disagreed last week, but the full court's ruling trumps the panel's decision.
…
Brunner previously said there was no way to set up the system with such speed.
And she is so right - validating one data base (Voter Registration) against another (DMV, SSN, etc) is almost black art: Surnames keyed different McCain vs Mc Cain, Ohara vs O'Hara, Smith-Jones, vs Jones; Fathers and sons not always using Sr. and Jr.; newly wed women with surname changes in one data base but not the other; Last Name Smith, First Name- Mary, Middle Initial A. vs Last Name Smith, First Name Mary Ann. Not to mention that in large data bases there are many instances of multiple legitimate occurances of seemingly unique names. And possible variations on legitimate address abound! Heck we live on Shady Ridge Drive and the next development over has a Shady Ridge. In spite of many hours of programming, I was never able to come up with a cross match system that did not take human intervention to resolve potential ambiguities. Is the "H. Ross Perot in Unit #1 the same as Henry R. Perot in Apt #1?

DRs Ginny & George, or anyone....Do your libraries have websites to search for books or do you have to go in person or call?
We have one http://lib.de.us/ for the entire State. It even has goodies like what's popular, etc. The site has a window to chat with a Librarian during hours.

Ask BK
Shows like the CSI series use extensive clips of The Who's material as theme music (credited). In normal practice, would they have received a lump-sum payment for use, or do they have a residual piece of the action for each broadcast and DVD sale?
der Brucer
I remember a show (I forget which) that a co-worker of mine used to tape every episode (on videotape), and when the DVD seasons came out, one particular episode was missing! It wasn't in the set, but she had it on videotape. It turns out that a song by Sting was used throughout the episode, and (if I remember correctly) is even referenced in the script, so it was a major plot point. HOWEVER, when the DVDs were being prepared for release, they couldn't get the DVD rights to the song. They, of course, wanted to release the season, so they just left off that one episode.
DH Jed was quite annoyed when he bought the DVD set of Quantum Leap, only to discover that they didn't want to shell out the $$ for a lot of the song rights, so unless one of the characters like Scott Bakula was actually singing the song, or it was referenced in the script, it was replaced with elevator music. Lame.
Yup. The same thing happened with the original Broadway soundtrack (yes...soundtrack) to the "musical" Contact. They couldn't get the rights to the song, "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You," so they had Boyd Gaines (the star of the show) sing it for the recording...so this wasn't a bad thing. ;)

In our library, you set up your account and password with your phone number and library card number, then you can browse, search and add holds from home. You can also have your account set up so that you are mailed all your items and you can mail them back. We'll pay the postage to send the items to you, but you'd have to pay the postage to send them back, or you can return them to any branch and not pay postage...just gas to get yourself to the library.

There's much to "see" as well as read:
One of the oldest public libraries in the nation, the Free Library’s central building contains over one million volumes. It ranks as one of the most comprehensive collections in the country, with particularly extensive holdings of early printed books, incunabula (1,100) and medieval manuscripts.
The primary manuscript holdings are grouped in John Frederick Lewis Collection, consisting of more than 200 codices and 2,000 detached leaves spanning the 9th to 18th centuries. Virtually all types of medieval book are represented—Bibles, Psalters, antiphonaries, missals, patristic and philosophical texts, devotional works, and over fifty Books of Hours. Some of the most famous illuminated works include the Lewis Bible, related to the Paris Bibles moralisées (c.1225); calendar pages from the Hours of Henry VII, painted by Jean Bourdichon (c.1500); a Book of Hours decorated by Jean Colombe (c.1475); and a genealogical roll of Edward IV illustrated in England (c.1480). Another 200 works form the core of the Lewis oriental collection, comprising one of the country’s premier collections of Mughal illuminated manuscripts.

The fun movie I plucked from the shelf was YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, Connery's fifth James Bond film. I think it's the most underrated of his Bonds flicks, and I find it much more entertaining than THUNDERBALL or DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. (It's shorter, too; less than two hours). I watched the Ultimate Edition remaster which looks and sounds far better than any previous release. Still has some sharpness issues, but it's still cleaner and more watchable than ever before.
The first six Bond Blu-rays (not counting CASINO ROYALE which came out a year ago) come out next week, so I'll be trying to work my way through them whenever I have a spare moment later next week.

Next, I finished THE MENTALIST from last night. Very enjoyable show. Loved the castle on the beach.

Next, I checked back in with PUSHING DAISIES. And it will be for the last time. I really love Lee Pace and Kristin Chenoweth, but the show, despite being a mystery, just does not engage me. Besides, when BONES comes back after its baseball hiatus, that will get my full attention.

What's the name of the one with the car crusher? When we were kids my folks used to bundle us into our Pj's grab some pillows and blankets and load my 2 little brothers and me into the back of the station wagon and go off to the Johnny All Weather Drive In
they had a playground inthe back and they would show a bunch of cartoons and then the kids would supposedly be tuckered out and fall asleep so the adult movie could start
We were still watching when that scene came on....OH MY!! Whenever I hear Jame Bond that is the first thing that comes to mind....(and I still have to watch that scene from between my fingers)

The first six Bond Blu-rays (not counting CASINO ROYALE which came out a year ago) come out next week, so I'll be trying to work my way through them whenever I have a spare moment later next week.
What's the name of the one with the car crusher? When we were kids my folks used to bundle us into our Pj's grab some pillows and blankets and load my 2 little brothers and me into the back of the station wagon and go off to the Johnny All Weather Drive In
they had a playground inthe back and they would show a bunch of cartoons and then the kids would supposedly be tuckered out and fall asleep so the adult movie could start
We were still watching when that scene came on....OH MY!! Whenever I hear Jame Bond that is the first thing that comes to mind....(and I still have to watch that scene from between my fingers)
BK beat me to the answer. He's right, of course: GOLDFINGER.

Picked up mom and met my sister Sue at IHOP's for dinner.
It was fund.
I am now home and the house is quite chilly, so I think I will crawl into bed with Bosco and Freddy and go to sleep.

Now I'm heading down to bed.
Good night!

Twelve OH Nine in the AM - it's officially tomorrow... so off to bed for me...

Next, I checked back in with PUSHING DAISIES. And it will be for the last time. I really love Lee Pace and Kristin Chenoweth, but the show, despite being a mystery, just does not engage me. Besides, when BONES comes back after its baseball hiatus, that will get my full attention.
At least with BONES, when they're dead, they stay dead!

Hi FJL... why didnlt you get to see BillyElliot? I hope you are not ill.
Did Skip like it?

Thanks for the info, Jose. Got to watch CNN until 12 and now watching the Project Runway season finale.

Thanks MBarnum and FJL...it's appreciated...although he would probably be totally embarassed if he knew I was talking about his bowels on the internet
-
My dad had to go to the hospital today. He has/had an obstruction in his bowel of some sort and after going through procedures similar to those Callie went through, he is now home and has to drink two bottles of the stuff you drink before a colonoscopy. He said it isn't doing any good yet...they think it's the powder stuff they gave him after he got his gall bladder out that's just been working too well. He and mom seem pretty optimistic about it, but I am concerned. Vibes would be appreciated.
~~~Vibes for Cilla's Dad!!~~~

I have been catching up on SUPERNATURAL SEASON THREE, and today, before work, I caught the episode, "A Very Supernatural Christmas." A truly unique episode and now one of my favorites.
The entire season three was really fantastic on this show. The Blu-rays are coming out next month for Season Three, but the cost is well above what I'd spend ($55). I'll wait for a sale one day. I have the first two seasons on regular DVD, both bouoght on sale for less than $15 each.
You ain't just whistling "Dixie!" This season is super! I simply can't wait for my evenings after work and my afternoons between shifts to catch up with those Winchester boys! The distaff additions to the cast have proven to be verrry interrresting. . .

Inspired by earlier postings, I was a little hungry, but I wanted 0 calories and fat grams - so I went to Gelson's and bought a tomato and a cucumber, got home, cut them up, doused with vinegar (which I believe has 0 of everything), added a little salt and pepper and ate it all up and boy was it great and it hit the spot just perfectly AND it's actually filling - I don't think there's any real calories in a tomato and a cucumber.

Prayers and vibes for DR Cillaliz's dad!

Thanks TD and Laura...
now I'm going to sleep...I'm still feeling inspired by Ken Burns. Sort of makes me want to go back to school and become a history teacher

Tomorrow I hope to get a lot of work done.
I spent today going back and forth between the Lexis rep who is doing a real hard sell on online research and I don't like it, and the Westlaw rep who is doing a soft sell but may be getting farther with me. The Westlaw database is better for what i'm doing now, but I don't think i'll be saving money which was the goal, lol.
I told them both I wasn't going to buy anything today I have to sit down and compare. I don't think my contract with lexis is up until December 31, but I've gotten Westlaw to agree to giving me 2 months free. They are both trying like crazy to make a sale before the end of the month. Times must be tough in the online legal research biz

Dakota - we've asked to keep the political stuff to a minimum - you weren't around for the brouhaha, so all I ask is to hold off until after the election.
Laura gave me a heads up and i removed them :)

Vibes to Cilla's dad... My thoughts are with you..

Excellent review for Scent Of Mystery from Film Score Monthly:
Scent of Mystery (1960) *** 1/2
MARIO NASCIMBENE/JORDAN RAMIN
Kritzerland KR 20011-7
14 tracks - 35:39
Bruce Kimmel’s label has released this much sought-after ’60s oddity featuring music mostly by Mario Nascimbene, with additional material by Jordan Ramin. The album also boasts two songs with lyrics by Harold Adamson, sung by Eddie Fisher. Scent of Mystery was unique for its time, as it was the first film to be shown (at least in New York) in glorious Smell-o-vision. On that note, the CD booklet even allows you to have an aromatic experience while reading the notes.
Nascimbene scores the strange little comic mystery with a heavy helping of jazz, including a prominent Gershwin-esque clarinet solo early on. Meanwhile, carefully detailed orchestral writing emphasizes the film’s comedy aspects; there is even a bit of Ravelian scoring for piccolo, flute and bassoon in a medley that accompanies a street stroll. It’s all deliciously wonderful, capturing the joie de vivre of the film’s light-hearted approach with colorful orchestrations that also hint at the locale. A few well-placed car horns (especially for “The Chase”) make for humorous additional color.
Scent of Mystery was the single release from Ramrod Records and originally featured a mono pressing (a few made it out in stereo). For this CD release, Kritzerland presents the score in perfect stereo. This unexpected pleasure is easily recommended for fans of jazz scores of the ’60s, and is worth tracking down in this limited (1,000) edition available from the label’s website: www.kritzerland.com. You can go there to hear some clips as well, just in case you need more encouragement. —Steven A. Kennedy

A very nice review indeed!
