To BK, re how a title can be shipped that has nothing to do with the title ordered:
Many times, the titles have nothing to do with how the orders are filled. Instead, an order number is used by the warehouse.
If a couple of numbers get transposed, it is easy for someone working in the warehouse to fill an order with the wrong item. Easy peasey.
Of course, it would help if the warehousemen were to cross-check the number with the title being ordered. And easy peasey. But that would require someone at the warehouse level taking the time to care about what they are doing. Sorry, I don't work at every store, nor at every warehouse. This wouldn't have happened on my shift.
I hope you get the title you originally ordered, without too much fuss. At least you're getting a freebie, which is a good thing... I hope.

When Eric met Henry, they tarried
And took all their time to get married.
Then Prop 8 came along
And ruined their song
And their civil rights ended miscarried.

Yesterday, Ron P wrote the following:
TOD:
I'd either go back to the Age of Pericles in ancient Greece, or I'd travel with the army of Alexander. I'd love to have been able to find out how they knew some of the things they knew.
Well, Ron, the song "Doin' What Comes Nat'churly" comes to mind. ;D

Workies, early again.
Time to give der B first notice about needing a ride in to the store - it's too dark to try walking.

So David, if your offices are moving does that mean you will be moving to Dallas???

Good morning, all! I had to be up early to get to Toyland ASAP. I've got edits to drop off and some questions to check out. I also need to run next door to my accountant and asee whar's going on with New York Stare Income Tax.
After that, back here for other work: either Jerome Moross or Frank Loesser, maybe both.
-
No, DR Ben, I won't be moving to Dallas. For now, the new company will maintain three offices: in Pleasanton CA [near San Francisco], Dallas, and Connecticut. We just don't know WHERE in Connecticut we may be moving too.
Since I'm the only one in my group in Connecticut, although there will be others in our office, I'll be reporting into a boss in Dallas.

I am a happy camper! I just found and downloaded a copy of THE WORLD OF TOMORROW (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0184038/), one of my favorite documentaries of all time! This one tells the story of the 1939 New York World's Fair through both newsreel film and home movies taken by the family of Jason Robards, who also narrates. I've been waiting in vain for years for this to be released to DVD (I have a VHS recording of a truncated 60 minute PBS broadcast made in the 80s.) I can't wait to see it again--Joy!

Unless something else comes in the mail before I settle in with work, today's project is Akira Kurosawa's DODESKA-DEN, his first color film. I've never seen it, so I'm looking forward to it even at its 140 minute length.

re: DR Jose and DR jane's questions last night.
re: gauze and tape. Yep i have it. But it would not stay on. It's on the back of my arm.
I'm not sure exactly what to do. But clearly the band-aids were a bad move. When i took them off, they peeled off a bit of the burn. And boy did that hurt! Stupid of me. But i didn't realize this would happen. And i couldn't think of any other way to cover the burn when i went out.
-
I missed DR MBARNUM's work vibe request.....wha' happened?
-
I ampleased to annouce that I once again have a working pc. It involved Vixdad having to get and install a new hard drive but we are running and I am so happy!
-
I am alsso please to announce that when I saw my radiologist this morning he said I was making very good progress. My voice is starting to come back a little and he is sending me to a speech and swallowing therapist to teach me how to eat and talk again.
-
And now I must try and catch up
-
I can't wait tonight is the finale of TOP CHEF! (well i'm guessing that part 2 of the finale is the final show).
Is there a reunion show this year?
-
DR MattH, i am 99% sure that AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL is not debuting this week. I think they delayed it one week.
Also LOST is going over by 6 minutes to 10:06pm! (listed in my tv and tv guide).
-
I just caught up on the first 6 episodes of DAMAGES season 2. I thought we were way behind the US (like 3 weeks). But i think you guys just aired ep 7, with 8 tonight? Good season so far.
-
BTW, the CW renewed some of their shows for next year:
Smallville, Supernatural, Gossip Girl, 90210, ANTM.
I am crossing my fingers for Privileged.

It was Ausiello who reported all this. And he seems to think there is still a chance that they will renew Privileged. Or at least those involved said there is still a chance.
-
I was trying to check bravotv.com or tvguide.com to see if top chef was going over tonight. For some reason neither of these sites will load for me.
But I do see there is a reunion show scheduled for next week.

Great news DR Vixmom!

DR DAW - "Wow!" and "Whew!"

DR Jennifer - Tonight's Finale (Part 2) of "Top Chef: New York" (which is being held in New Orleans) is only supposed to run an hour - 10:00pm-11:00pm - tonight.

...Or there could have been a error in the catalog or internet listing, thus causing the "wrong/right" item to pulled. Easey peasey. ;)
*It's been a couple of years, but I still remember checking in an incoming order from Hal Leonard at the music store. For some reason, we received a number of copies of a rather obscure piece of music. It turned out that there was an error in the new catalog: one catalog number ended up getting assigned to three different items. Spoo! Thankfully, our sales rep - who worked next to the warehouse - was able to personally verify the "error" by heading into the warehouse himself and checking the shelf stock. Easey peasey.
-
I am now going to try some work with my camera and iPhoto.

DR JOSE, pushing down on my mouse and moving it around does make it scroll...thanks!
You're welcome, DR JRand! There should be some sort of "cheat sheet" under the Help -> Mouse, or in the System Preferences.

Hooray for the good news! Are you allowed to hum to yourself? I remember reading somewhere that humming was very good therapy for people with throat problems.
And THE SWALLOWING THERAPIST must be the title of your next short story.

I believe there is a solo version out there - and I've heard it sung as a solo before.
Otherwise, just buy the vocal selections - although, "One Hand, One Heart" is also published as a "single sheet" too. If you don't have a local music store, just look on Amazon.com, SheetMusicPlus.com or SheetMusicDirect.com. -You can download and transpose the music from SheetMusicDirect.com.
If you are able to browse at a local music store, you might want to check out some Wedding Music Collections too.

I don't know yet but I have just been scheduled to meet with the therapist this Friday morning so I will find out.
I have suddenly had a great interest in cooking again - (I'm not doing any but I am thinking about it a lot) maybe making those lunches for Vixdad and the Vixter has rekindled my thoughts of food.
I did try some chicken noodle soup two days ago (I just made a Lipton Cup-a-Soup)
I am please to announce it did indeed taste like chicken soup but I was only able to manage about 3 or 4 tablespoons. It was too much hard work swallowing.
I also tried oatmeal, I only managed two spoonfuls there. My gingerale is tasting like gingerale again. I tried a sip of tea the other day but it tasted "wrong" - I probably should be staying away from caffinated pproducts anyway.
I suppose I will stop experimenting now until I meet teh therapist on Friday and see what she says. Better off being careful and not doing myself any harm

As elmore said earlier, The Cat And The Canary DVD turns out to have been a gift from him - thanks elmore! I didn't look at the invoice - I rarely do - because I'd ordered Ran and it's due exactly now I just made the assumption it was wrong. Too late to alert amazon.uk as they shipped the replacement this morning - so, I'll have two Rans, or an also Ran.

Greetings from Nebraska. Bet you don't hear that every day... I've decided I'm really over-thinking this immigration court stuff. I was up last night worried about this and that and stressing like a new lawyer. I got to court and no problem. The court set my client's next hearing for January 2010.
-
So, I'm at the airport waiting for my flight. It isn't until 2:20, but hanging out here is as good as anywhere. I just had a wonderful grilled chicken sandwich (no mayo) and a fabulous side salad. I'm at a table near an outlet.. I am happy
-
Der Brucer, the trip isn't REALLY a shopping trip, however as I changed out of my suit and into my casual clothes in my car in the parking ramp (no one was around) I realized I forgot the fleece jacket I like to wear to the seminar (those rooms are always cold). So, I really may have to shop. I saw a nice one at the airport, but it says Nebraska on it. I don't know that I want that

Yes, the old P-V score that came out when the movie was first released has it on one staff for solo voice. I probably have a copy lying around here somewhere.

I didn't get much sleep at all last night. I had the alarm set for 5:15 AM. I usually don't get up that early and since I didn't get to bed until after 12:30 I was very concerned I wouldn't wake up. So, I woke up about every hour and looked at the clock. After about 4:30 I didn't get back to sleep. Now I've had 4 glasses of ice tea. I don't think I'll be sleeping today, lol

And if I'm remembering correctly, the still somewhat new and revised vocal selections reflect the duet version of the song. -But it sure looks pretty!
*And as much as I appreciate the work put into the still somewhat new-ish version of the Piano/Conductor's score for West Sside Story, I still prefer to play from my old "blue cover" copy. -Those page turns are just ingrained in me. ;) -And don't get me started on the revised P/C score for Carousel.

OH! I didn't even think about there being revised scores because of the new show - they want something that will sound like the movie version
That's somethng I will have to look out for - should I assume it will say "Revised" if it is? I don;t know how I would tell otherwise- I don't read music I just buy it for Vixter and her accompanists

I have the blue conductor's score of WSS, too. :)
I used to MD the big Democratic Party of Oregon's biannual parody musicals, when all of the big D's would "put on a show," which was usually hilarious. One year we did "Nest Side Story" (it was the era of the spotted owl, if anyone remembers that brouhaha). I not only MD'd, I directed. Anyhoo, about 3/4 of the way through Act I, my piano lightbulb went out and I got to play that great Bernstein music from memory. I was scaaaarrrrrred. :)

Have you ever noticed that when there is a sign that says "Restrooms closed due to construction" that you suddenly have an urge to use the restroom?
...And that's after you've already passed another set of restrooms... "I'll just go to the ones closer to my gate>" NOT!
And the ones closer to the gate were closed for cleaning!! So, I just went through security...that was interesting. TSA did an inspection shortly before I went through. Apparently they sent a girl with a cast on her leg through as a test or something...at least that's what I think happened because one of the TSA people was talking to someone with TSA INSPECTOR on her back and said "You know, when I saw her coming through I thought...'I wonder if this is a test'" Yeah right

Greetings from Nebraska. Bet you don't hear that every day... I've decided I'm really over-thinking this immigration court stuff. I was up last night worried about this and that and stressing like a new lawyer. I got to court and no problem. The court set my client's next hearing for January 2010.

Good news: chimney repair people are here. Roof is ordered and will hopefully be in on Monday.
Bad news: my bossa nova drummer is being a complete idiot about our planned upcoming CD (which I now think I will not do, at least not with him).

What a moron (technical term).

I didn't get much sleep at all last night. I had the alarm set for 5:15 AM. I usually don't get up that early and since I didn't get to bed until after 12:30 I was very concerned I wouldn't wake up. So, I woke up about every hour and looked at the clock. After about 4:30 I didn't get back to sleep. Now I've had 4 glasses of ice tea. I don't think I'll be sleeping today, lol
I hate that. Setting multiple alarm clocks will sometimes help me sleep.

Hi Ginny!
Are you back from the eyeglass expedition? How did it go?
Quite smoothly - thanks for asking. She selected a new pair of regular glasses (frames and lenses) and left her sunglass frames to have new lenses put in them. Vanessa (the optician) and I had to gush a bit to convince my aunt that the lavender colored frames really did look better than the black ones. Taking my aunt out isn't as much fun as taking her sister (my mom), but today went at well as could be expected.

Back from the long jog, which I must admit, wasn't much of a jog, more of a power walk. Rather pathetic, but I awoke to the news that my mastering engineer has been waiting for ME to send HIM and edit list for the soundtrack. Last week, I sent him a road map but there was miscommunication - I thought he was just going to assemble it, and he thought I was going to send him a complete edit list. I now have to do that and it's going to take all damn day and night and I am really not happy about it.

Good Afternoon!
I'm back from a run to the bank, as well as a nice lunch at Panera. It was nice to get out of the house for a bit, as well as having something "healthy" to eat - a grilled chicken salad. -It's sort of "depressing" that even after my parents' recent medical bouts, that I have to head out of the house in order to find something healthy to eat.
-
Alas, after the short drive to and from the bank, I don't think a drive up to DC tonight would be in my best interest - nor of the people driving alongside me. I think I'm dealing with some sort of sinus/ear "thingy", and the drive I just took sort of confirmed that. I just didn't feel "right" and secure while driving. At least I can Twitter along with Spike and the rest of the "Top Chef" fans during tonight's finale.

JOB VIBES FOR DR MBARNUM, DR GEORGE & EVERYONE ELSE WHO NEEDS THEM!
Thanks! And DITTO For Everyone Else who Needs Them!!
We have a site on our library Intranet where emplyees can make suggestions for reducing the budget, and someone who worked here in 1985 (when we had the last financial crisis) posted a message saying that we had to cut approx. $600,000 from the budget back then. She found an on-line Inflation Calculator (http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl) and $600,000 in 1985 has the same buying power as $1,177,377.32 today! And back then, we had to cut 30% of our staff!! This time, we have to cut $2.5 million!! However, I don't know what our annual budget and staffing levels were in 1985, compared to today's numbers. :-\

BTW, the CW renewed some of their shows for next year:
Smallville, Supernatural, Gossip Girl, 90210, ANTM.
I am crossing my fingers for Privileged.
Thanks for the info. However, if PRIVILEGED didn't get renewed with this bunch, its chances now will be pretty slim, so don't get your hopes up.
It was Ausiello who reported all this. And he seems to think there is still a chance that they will renew Privileged. Or at least those involved said there is still a chance.
Yes, they all think that. Brooke Shields still thinks LIPSTICK JUNGLE has a chance for renewal.
What it will depend on is the CW's show development. If they come up with some pilots that look promising, then PRIVILEGE is a goner. If their development season is weak and the pilots less than good, they may pick it up for lack of anything better. But its ratings have been very poor.

To BK, re how a title can be shipped that has nothing to do with the title ordered:
Many times, the titles have nothing to do with how the orders are filled. Instead, an order number is used by the warehouse.
If a couple of numbers get transposed, it is easy for someone working in the warehouse to fill an order with the wrong item. Easy peasey.
Of course, it would help if the warehousemen were to cross-check the number with the title being ordered. And easy peasey. But that would require someone at the warehouse level taking the time to care about what they are doing. Sorry, I don't work at every store, nor at every warehouse. This wouldn't have happened on my shift.
I hope you get the title you originally ordered, without too much fuss. At least you're getting a freebie, which is a good thing... I hope.
This happened to my sister's boyfriend, several years ago. He had ordered a DVD from Amazon.co.uk, they sent the wrong thing, he e-mailed and was told to keep what he got. It was a lot cheaper for Amazon.co.uk to just send another DVD than to pay for the wrong one to be shipped back AND the new one to be shipped out again.
It also happens here at the library. My job is to deal with these kinds of issues. Fortunately, it doesn't happen very often, but it does happen. We'll get four copies of the title that we ordered and one copy of something completely different. I found that sometimes it's a lot easier to just keep what we get and reorder only if we really need the extra copy of the original title. And sometimes, the "wrong" copy costs more than the original title that we wanted. ;)

I saw REVOLUTIONARY ROAD and thought it was very dark, but I did enjoy the performances. Then i saw THE READER which made REVOLUTIONARY ROAD look like ENCHANTED.....

DR JRand - In response to some of your other Mac inquiries:
For BitTorrent downloads - Have your tried Transmission (http://www.transmissionbt.com/) or uTorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/)? -Those were recommended by my Mac Genius/Twitter friends. ;) *I'm not sure if those clients will work on/with your Mac OS. -And uTorrent for Mac is in Beta - but works very well, apparently.
As for tabbed browsing in Firefox - Yes, you should still be able to take advantage of tabbed browsing in Firefox (running on an iMac). You mentioned that you closed one window, but then another one came back up when you clicked on the Firefox icon - I think. In any case.. For tabbed browsing, you have to have an active window open on your desktop, then just hit "Apple+T" to open a new tab. Now if you want to open a new Firefox window, then hit "Apple+N". The keyboard shortcuts should be displayed in the drop-down menus from the File Menu.

I spent most of the afternoon with DODES'KA-DEN by Akira Kurosawa. Very different from most of his films that I've seen since there really isn't a single strong central story but rather a slice of life in a Shantytown with at least a half dozen stories. Usually I don't find this kind of storytelling that satisfying since you don't get to know anyone really well but have to make do with bits and pieces of all of their lives, but damn if I didn't get sucked into the stories and ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would.
Admittedly, some of the stories are stronger and much more interesting than others (there are two village drunks whose story really irritated me; I didn't find them endearing or funny though I'm sure they were meant to be amusing.) Others were much more absorbing, but I still wanted to know more about the man "with dead eyes" and the pitiful young girl impregnanted by her uncle.
The transfer is, as you can imagine, quite beautiful.

I am waiting for the local real estate lady to take me to lunch. I wonder if she is going to try to talk me into selling my house. I hope not. She'll be wasting her time.
I think I posted this before, but according to www.zillow.com, they estimate that the value of my condo is about $15,000 LESS than what I paid for it, just about two and a half years ago! :P
Not that I ever plan to move...because I don't...EVER! :D
-
There were only two bonus features on the disc: a trailer and a fragment of the documentary on Kurosawa dealing with his 1965-1970 "dark years." I enjoyed the featurette; I didn't remember he had been dismissed from TORA! TORA! TORA!

Such a lovely lunch. She took me to a five-star restaurant at a five-star resort. You know what that means: I'm still hungry.
She told me that she just listed my mother's house for sale. She sold it almost five years ago when mom passed away. I guess she didn't want me to see a For Sale sign.

I find it difficult to image in today’s market a real estate person courting a potential seller, buyer yes, not a seller.
Not necessarily - in some areas there are still shortages of real estate in some price ranges. Also, real estate folks like to find listings of homes that have been owner-occupied for many years - these sellers can readily accept the reality of lower prices because they wouuld still get much more than they paid. If the Jones bought a house in 1979 for $40,000 and can today sell it for $150,000 - they feel fortunate (it doesn't matter that they could have sold it two years ago for $250,000). My son-in-law just finished working on my ex's house in California - in was on the market for six weeks and sold for nearly $600,000 - to a pre-qualified buyer. Never mind that the estate appraisal for the house was $750,000 and it needed over $50,000 worth of work to ready it for market. I bought the house in 1971 for $30,000.

The Elephant in the Room: Immigration and un-documented aliens.

Note to George (regarding voter initiatives):
Our local school district passed a multi-million dollar bond issue a few years ago to fund a badly needed new high school.
The school district tightly managed the project and it is coming in under budget.
The district financial people ran a tight ship and managed to borrow the necessary money for less than the estimated cost.
Now, the tax revues that were passed from the project will be accumulating much more money than needed (about $700,000/year!). The district has proposed moving the excess accumulation from the building fund (where it isn’t needed) to a technology upgrade account (which is desperately needed.
So, the board placed a referendum on a ballot to transfer the funds.
The anti-initiative people placed full page ads arguing against the “tax increase” – which it was NOT!
The anti-initiative folks say that the kid’s don’t need computers, they should use pencil and paper just like in the good old days.
The anti-initiative folks wrote letters to the editor complaining about the districts bait-and-switch tax initiative.
The anti-initiative folks said if the kids need computer upgrades so bad, the district should have cancelled all the teacher pay raises.
The pro-initiative folks were represented by letters written by teachers and students “Please upgrade our computers, Thank You, Ms Jones third grade class”.
There were only three polling places, open from 10Am to 8PM on a Tuesday.
The initiative failed by 119 votes out of 3419 cast.
The county tax payers can now look forward to a tax decrease of $12/year while the kids struggle with out-dated techology.

He's Australian.
Gotta love that Bruce!

elmore - I see what you mean about those insurance commercials where people watch horrible things happen without saying anything.

PAGE NINE TIME TO LEAVE DANCE!!
Tonight, Theater Artists Olympia is having a general meeting/potluck. I'm going and need to bring something to eat. I don't yet know what. The meeting doesn't start until 7:00 pm, so I have some time to get something. When I get home, I'll watch "Lost." I can't believe I said that I would go somewhere on a night when "Lost" is on!!
Dopey me. ;)
Until later!
;D
-
Good Evening!
I'm currently watching "Lost" upstairs, while my parents are watching "American Idol" downstairs. It's quite the multi-sensational experience, so to speak.

LIFE is jumping tonight and i've been laughing a lot.
DR FJL, they should call those commercials "Unlucky car owners and their comatose friends."
-
In other news...
I had a good visit with Steve. We almost went keyboard shopping, but after the clerks at Sam Ash did not call him back - twice! - to confirm whether they had the new Kurzweil in stock, we just went ahead and headed out to dinner. And it was a very good dinner. We ended up at Benny's BBQ (http://www.bennysbbqonline.com/), which, in keeping with one of the "laws of Good Eats", is a small unassuming, nondescript place in a strip mall, that serves some very good BBQ. Then it was off to Target to stock up on some basics, and now I'm back at my parents' house.
Blah, blah, blah...

BRUCE VILANCH IS AUSTRALIAN?? I never knew that!
;D
I was about to exclaim the same thing! ;)
-
DR Michael S - Any idea what Bruce Vilanch was doing in your neck of the woods today?
-
Yes, they all think that. Brooke Shields still thinks LIPSTICK JUNGLE has a chance for renewal.
What it will depend on is the CW's show development. If they come up with some pilots that look promising, then PRIVILEGE is a goner. If their development season is weak and the pilots less than good, they may pick it up for lack of anything better. But its ratings have been very poor.
I don't know that that is necessarily the same thing especially since the CW has fewer shows and low ratings for most of them. I could see that it is possible that they would take time for one of their shows with lower ratings.
It's a shame. Because Privileged is better than 90210. I would say my fav CW show is ANTM and Gossip Girl. But i really grew attached to Privileged and hope they give it another chance.
-
I think i'm gonna ff thru American Idol and then watch Top Chef. I'm not that crazy about this Idol format. Do others like it?
I'm sure the guy who goes thru will be Adam Lambert (and this is before watching the show).
-
Hello from Houston. The plane we were supposed to be on has 2 flat tires, so they are getting us a different plane. I will gladly wait for a different plane under these circumstances!
I would gladly wait too.
*I follow "BreakingNewsOn" on Twitter. There were two more plane crashes today - one in Amsterdam (commercial plane, 12(?) fatalities), and one in Denver (a private plane, no casualties). I do like getting the "breaking news", but there's just been too much bad news lately. :-\
-
I've just begun reading the March book for my discussion group, STUBBORN TWIG. The print is somewhat small & rather faint making it difficult for me to read. There a people in my book who can't find a copy and since the group meets on Tuesday I'm trying to read extra fast & all I'm getting is eye strain & a headache.

Watched "Lost"... Hmm...
Watching "Top Chef".... Hmm...
-
DR Michael S - Any idea what Bruce Vilanch was doing in your neck of the woods today?
he was visiting his mother in Boca
-
Ooohh!!! I just realized that I'll be traveling to Birmingham, AL, next week for SETCs. The hotel better have Bravo so that I can watch the reunion show of "Top Chef: New York".
-
I've had a full evening of superlative entertainment.
I began with Part I of WHEN THE LION ROARS. When I got this DVD several weeks ago, I started with Part II because I had watched Part I on a homemade videotape of the documentary and though it's a great section, I didn't want to rewatch it again so soon. I watched it tonight to begin my evening.
-
Next I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing and nothing.
-
Next I watched Monday night's HEROES episode. Why is it that HEROES always gets it right when they do a backstory episode? They can muck around with their real time storytelling, but the backstory stuff for the last three seasons has been among the most compelling of anything they've done.
-
Next, I had enough time to watch the first three singers on tonight's IDOL. They were among the absolute WORST singers I've ever heard on the show. The judges should be hanging their heads in shame if this is the best they could come up with for semifinalists from a hundred thousand people who auditioned.
Now, to be fair, the other 9 singers may be sensational, but those first three (a guy and two gals) were all off pitch, couldn't sing the melody if it smacked them in the face, and seem to be having a tremendous case of nerves.
-
LOST - I loved it. A lot.
-
LIFE ON MARS had an involving episode, too. Liked the case and some of it (especially Michael Imperioli's hothead) made me laugh.

Oh, poo, DR Jennifer! Every actor in a currently running series will hold out hope against hope that the meal ticket isn't over. It's human nature. What I'm saying is that the actors feeling positive about their chances of renewal MEANS NOTHING. They HAVE to think positive!
-
DR Jane, They gave us a different plane. They can take all night changing tires as far as I'm concerned.
Also, yes the waiting a year for a hearing is common
That's what I meant, better to have a new plane than wait for a tire to be changed.
Is there much work to be done during the year?
No, this case is an asylum referral. What that means is he applied for asylum, the asylum office didn't believe he made his case so they referred it to the immigration judge. Now we have a hearing and if the immigration judge rules against him then he will be deported or leave voluntarily. It's just a matter of the immigration courts docket. They only do removals and relief from removal, they don't decide any of the applications or petitions that go to UCIS or the Dept of State or the Department of Labor or any of the other departments who have something to do with some form of immigration.
The Office of General Counsel in Omaha- who represent the government in immigration cases said they have bout 3000 cases on their caseload and they only have about 6 lawyers. So if you don't admit and don't voluntarily depart right away, it's a long time to get a hearing - unless you're detained. those are quicker
-
So I have to tip my hat to Continental.. Other than that little plane crash in Buffalo, they are a great airline. They managed to get us a new plane on the other end of the terminal, get everyone on, fly to New Orleans and we were only 10 minutes late. That was pretty darn cool.
-
This hotel is really nice but SOOOO quiet. Until we just heard a toilet flush and footsteps, we really thought we may be the only guests in a 250 room hotel. I guess that's what happens on Ash Wednesday. The airport was really quiet too. We went to the hotel where the seminar is, it's only a little over a block away.
Then I got some dinner - oysters on the half shell and jambalya at Desire . We had a drink and came back to the room. We did walk down Bourbon Street. There are people around, but not very many. I'm sure it will liven up again over the weekend. Right now, I think everyone has a hang over from Mardi Gras. I am very sleepy and glad that we have a very quiet room tonight
-
tomorrow morning we're getting up early and walking to Cafe DuMonde for breakfast....yum beingets here I come
-
I love Kurzweils, too, Jose, and in fact I played one bought especially for me at tonight's Ash Wednesday service. It's a gorgeous burgundy color. I freaked a little tonight because we got two loud pops when I hit A3 so I have to see if perhaps that outlet isn't grounded.
-
Oh one last thing before calling it a night...I think I saw the plane blow the tires when it landed. We were taxiing to the terminal when we stopped for a plane landing. It really burned rubber and black smoke flew up from the tires. I'm guessing that was the plane
-
I'm heading downstairs now to go to bed.
Good night!
-
I do like getting the "breaking news", but there's just been too much bad news lately. :-\
Good Tidings rarely are treated as "breaking news".

Divine births and unconditional surrender are the exceptions

I'm sure the guy who goes thru will be Adam Lambert (and this is before watching the show).
I suspect two guys will go through.

Oh, Lord what a day. I spent most of it trying to sequence the soundtrack - endless cues and alternates and no way to get it in true film order, since that would be a very unpleasant listen. But, I think I've got it so it's good and I'm listening to it right now and it seems to play well - after I finish, I'll send the edit map to the mastering guy.

At long last page ten.

So, since it was "bought for you(me)" did you get to take it home with you after the service? ;)
What kind of "pop"? I know sometimes some of the samples can go wacky every now and then, and end up "popping" on their own. Although, the last issue I had with a Kurzweil had to do with a piano/celeste split. For reasons still unknown, sometimes the celeste would detune itself about a quarter-tone. I even transferred the programming over to another Kurzweil, and the problem still surfaced every now and then. "We" think it might have been tied to one of the light changes happening at that time in the show - and the consequential "shift in power".
-
Next, I had enough time to watch the first three singers on tonight's IDOL. They were among the absolute WORST singers I've ever heard on the show. The judges should be hanging their heads in shame if this is the best they could come up with for semifinalists from a hundred thousand people who auditioned.
Well, the judges were as unanimous as Mrs Slocum that the first three no where near lived up to the potential thay had exhibited earlier in the contest.

-
I didn't watch tonight's "American Idol", but I did listen to it in the background as I watched "Lost". -Although, I missed a good chunk of the first hour. In any case... From what I could hear, it sounded like (another) good night to miss. (I'll catch up this weekend via the DVR once I'm back in NYC.)
*However, I was quite surprised, and actually a little proud to find out that my father was actually taking notes on each singer(!!!).
-
DR Cillaliz - Have an extra sprinkle of powdered sugar on those beignets for me!
-
LOST - I loved it. A lot.
And most definitely geared toward the "short attention span" crowd tonight. And it still left a few things to think about, a few holes, in the "recent" past.
-
-Although, I missed a good chunk of the first hour. In any case... From what I could hear, it sounded like (another) good night to miss.
Well, on my scorecard, Adam Lambert won by virtue of being the least boring (not counting Norman Gentle, who, as expected, got lots of laughs). The judges liked Megan, but I just can't get into a tattooed girl dressed in a flour sack prancing around barefoot on the stage - she looked like an out-take from Li'l Abner.

PAGE NINE TIME TO LEAVE DANCE!!
Tonight, Theater Artists Olympia is having a general meeting/potluck. I'm going and need to bring something to eat. I don't yet know what.

;D
AARRGGHH!! The TAO meeting went well and I got home at about 9:15. I went upstairs and my DVR was on, but the red record light was NOT on!! I quickly turned on my TV and the sound from the DVR was off, which is the way it's supposed to be when it's recording something and the power was off when it starts recording, BUT IT WASN'T RECORDING! :P AARRGGHH!!
-
FORTUNATELY, I hit the record button in time and there was enough of the show in the hard drive buffer that it was able to record the 9:00 pm episode from the beginning, but I didn't get the 8:00 pm pop-up repeat from last week. If I had been recording this just for me, there would be no problem, but I'm recording the shows (including the pop-up repeat) for a co-worker because she no longer has cable.
Anyway, I'm watching "Life On Mars" right now, and will watch and record "Lost" to my DVD burner afterwards.
