The last time I was up this early posting, DR JoseSPiano was posting. I now note it has been a while since I've seen post by Jose.
I looked it up and February 10 was the last day he posted. That was 36 days ago.
Is he all right?
And the jelly came in Howdy Doody glasses. I had one for Howdy, Clarabelle and Mayor Bluster, IIRC.

The CD cover misspellings must be on the MAN/WOMAN cd....which I haven't opened yet. Maybe that will make them even more rare and valuable as time goes by.
Wain! Weal wain. At wast! We've been promised rain for months and hadn't had any, so this is a treat.

I'm in a quandary at the moment over a 30-year friendship's falling apart badly, and that has me rather depressed. I don't know if at this point it's salvageable. and a major part of the problem is my own stubbornness. I've been slapped once too often in the past year and a half to want to forgive and make amends.
Good morning, all! I slept very late.

I just listened to Side One of Tony Sings The Great Hits of Today, the album that evidently made Mr. Bennett vomit on the floor before the recording sessions. I'm not sure I have the fortitude to make it to Side Two. Despite some nice (if at times odd) arrangements by Peter Matz, something was definitely off here.

Death, taxes and now health insurance? Having a medical plan or else paying a fine is about to become another certainty of American life, unless the Supreme Court says no.
People are split over the wisdom of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, but they are nearly united against its requirement that everybody have insurance.
No one seems willing to embrace the whole problem and develop a set of integrated solutions.

I believe I may have an answer, though I haven't gotten confirmation yet. Our listing has a click-through only to Best Buy. When that happens, that typically means it's a Best Buy exclusive for some time (actually for months on some occasions), before the title is released to other retailers.
As Kerry said, we did indeed get some rain overnight. Not quite the .67 inches they were talking about. More like .16. But rain nonetheless. This will hold us until monsoon comes in August.

While Woody ishoggingtaking his fair share of time at the computer, I've taken to brousing HHW.
The problem is that HHW is unintentionally Smarrt Phone hostile.
The problem lies in both lay-out and man-machine interface.
Problems:
The left-side containing the poster data (avatar, stats, etc) eats up a lot of the post area; when you scroll right to see more test you lose the ID of the poster - and even in landscape mode with the screen scrolled right to chop off the User data, there are still many messages that run-off screen (Sites that have Mbile versions either have smaller margins are provide automatic text wrappinbg based on viewing area. Think of the Smart-Phone viewing experincing just like when HHW is driven into CinemaScope.
To execute page jumps, one must scroll eith all the way up or all the way down, then greatly enlarge the viewing area until the page numbers are large enough to press-select.
When trying to respond with quote, one is presented with a very small window in which to edit (remember, over half the Smart-Phone Screen is taken up by the keyboard display when posting.
None of these problems are insurmountable - they just add up to a very cumbersome interaction.

vixmom Quote " jelly is what we know as jello or gelatin here - Doug it is a peanut buttter and what you ight call "jam" sandwich - traditionally here we use grape - what we call jam I think you call preserves"
That explains a lot. My idea of jelly is what you know as jello, which would make very soggy sandwiches! In Britain preserves and jam are the same thing.
I was watching "Paris When it Sizzles" which I had never seen before. What a total misfire! Audrey Hepburn and William Holden can usually do no wrong for me but they were saddled with an appalling, stupid script and William Holden in particular seemed completely miscast and over-forced the comedy.

Definitely NOT the sales technique. I can see them having an exclusive on a title that folks will be clamoring for. But, honestly....the Clifton Webb "Titanic"? Is Best Buy desperate for those of us who would ONLY go there for this one DVD?
I know...they had an exclusive on that Universal set that included "The Incredible Shrinking Man." Thank goodness I had it on a DVD-R.
A thought I had about it centers around Fox Home Video's new arrangement with Screen Archives Entertainment. SAE has, apparently, an "exclusive" deal with Fox to issue Blu-rays of vault titles, starting with "The Grapes of Wrath" and "Zorba the Greek". There's a "chance" that "Titanic" may have been moved into that batch that SAE will issue over the coming months.
As long as the BD isn't being cancelled, I don't care which it is.
Thank you. I'm debating it.

Sirius XM just played a John Williams theme and for the life of me I can't remember what film it came from. And the XM "title" thingy (technical term) wasn't working.
Perhaps, King of the World Cameron has some strange contract that will not allow the sale of any other film titled TITANIC, while his 3D version is being released?
Sunday afternoon greetings! We are back from Lima, where I caused a little commotion. After the service and coffee hour, Fr. Richard and the mission committee had a meeting and I was sitting in the lobby reading my book. The woman who'd hosted coffee hour today was cleaning up in the kitchen and called for me to help her get the top off the coffee pot. As I charged across the fellowship hall, my heel hit a slippery tile and I went down, crashing into the furniture on my way. I'm sure it sounded worse than it was and I wouldn't let Judy interrupt the meeting. My left arm took the brunt and I have bruises developing on my upper arm, forearm, wrist, and pinkie. I may have our family doctor check me out tomorrow, just to be on the safe side.
Other than that, it was a delightfully smooth trip up and back...

You needn't make cover-up stories to protect Richard - we all watch Law & Order and know all about spousal abuse.

At least you can pass pass for a victim of spousal abuse; I'm now in the category of the much less glamorous "elder abuse".

From New York to Philadelphia, refineries that turn oil into gasoline have been idled or shut permanently because their owners are losing money on them. Sunoco Inc. is expected to close the region's largest refinery in July, taking another 335,000 barrels per day in production capacity off the market.
The East Coast refineries are getting squeezed by the soaring cost of crude oil, the major component in gasoline. The cost of oil has jumped in the past year due to global economic growth and rising tensions between Western nations and Iran, a major producer. Refineries haven't been able to increase their own prices enough to compensate.

Smash’: Dream big, as long as you fit the right demographic
By Jessica Goldstein, Published: March 9
Unless your definition of minorities includes “redheads” and “people with accents,” you’d have a rough time finding many in the cast of NBC’s “Smash,” a drama about the goings-on behind the scenes of a Broadway musical in the making.
There is a half-Puerto Rican actor who plays a disgruntled assistant. Dev, the boyfriend of Katharine McPhee’s character, hails from England and is of Indian descent. And, as far as series regulars go, that’s it.
Technically speaking, there are a handful of minorities who pop up in the ensemble or as Friend No. 3, and the invisible baby Debra Messing’s character will never actually adopt is Chinese. (No work-life balance allowed for women on TV; don’t want to give us any ideas.)
But wait, there is hope! There is hope because settled inside “Smash” like a Russian nesting doll is a musical-within-the-show. This musical could be where all the interesting, complicated, exciting parts for, say, African-Americans are hiding. This diverse portion of the cast will be revealed as soon as we get done watching the blond girl flirt with a Jonas brother and have sex with the blondish guy.
Oh, wait. It turns out, the focus of this original musical is Marilyn Monroe. I use the term “original” here to mean “there will be songs that haven’t been written before,” not to suggest that creating a narrative around Marilyn Monroe is an even remotely original idea, because come on.
Marilyn the Musical! Get excited to watch two white girls duke it out for the Role Of A Lifetime! It’s cool though, because one is a brunette.
After that, a trio of white men will audition to be Marilyn’s three most famous love interests: Joe DiMaggio, Arthur Miller and JFK. We are looking at a show set to be even less diverse than the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
If the “Smash” folks were so set on making a nostalgia-fueled musical, why not create a show about Motown instead? “Hairspray” and “Dreamgirls” were both ( . . .wait for it) smash hits in theaters and on film. Motown provides ample opportunities for diverse casting, not to mention that it would allow the cover songs featured in every episode to be thematically relevant. This would save us all from watching McPhee attempt to jam the square peg of “Redneck Woman” into the round hole of a karaoke bar in Iowa.
And, should the wildest hopes of the “Smash” production team be realized and the musical-within-a-show become a real-life musical, there would be that many more leading roles for non-white actors on Broadway. As “Smash” would encourage us: Dream big, people.
...why not create a show about Motown instead? “Hairspray” and “Dreamgirls” were both ( . . .wait for it) smash hits in theaters and on film.
Watched the last two episodes of Smash. I really like the show.I wrote yesterday that i just went thru all the episodes and absolutely love it.

I am back from Shrek the musical. People really don't know at what age to bring kids to the theatre. I get that it can be a tough call. My sister did not even consider bringing my almost 3 year old niece.
Nobody brought kids under 2. But there were quite a few 3 and 4 year olds. And really they are much too young.
We had great seats (9th row). And there ended up being a little kid sitting in front of me. But half way thru the first act he wanted to go. I get that his parents paid $150+ dollars for tix. So they put him in their lap. But left after the intermission.
Many of the younger kids did not really seem to be able to sit. My 6 year old niece loved it and was cackling so hard. I had no idea her laugh was so distinctive.
I definitely enjoyed it. Especially because I have not been to any musical theatre in quite a while.
I guess the days of home-cooked Sunday meals for the family are a thing of the past.
It is a shame so many of the children couldn't sit through the show. I'm glad your niece enjoyed it enough to cackle. :)

June 18th: I'm surprised on DR JMK responded to my question regarding ONCE.
Jane, I'm responding so you don't think we're ignoring you.
Yes, the musical Once, opening tonight on Broadway, is based on the movie. If you didn't like the movie you won't like the musical. They made some minor changes to the story which make it more theatrical and they added two new songs but, basically, the movie has been transformed to a stage musical.
I think Celtic/Folk/Roots music can be an acquired taste. That being said, I think the music in the movie and on stage added to the beauty of both pieces.
I respect the fact that you didn't like the movie. You're not the only one (or you and JMK are not the only ones) but it has garnered more praise than dislikes. It isn't a matter of right or wrong. That kind of response is rude and, I feel, useless. I liked it. You didn't like it. As BK says often, that's the horse race (or something like that). I've had the idea that I'm wrong because I didn't like something, or "I'm sorry you didn't get it" thrown at me too many times to buy the argument. It's art. Many people have different feelings and interpretations of art. It's not a one size fits all affair.
I don't know that there is much more to say about it. Again, I'm perfectly fine with you not liking the movie. There are MANY movies that people here adore which I can't sit through (The Court Jester being one, the pestle sequence makes me run screaming from the room). I just chalk it up to my eclectic tastes :D
Yes, DR Jane, I'm enjoying Major Pettigrew very much!
I'm surprised on DR JMK responded to my question regarding ONCE.
I'm sorry, I have absolutely no clue what this means.
Thank you for the advice. I'm notsure how this will go down, and I've been carrying this feeling about the friendship falling apart since mid-January. My initial response is to say, screw you, consider him no longer a friend and go on. It took me years to disown the Macbeths - which I did not want to do - but whichproved one of the smartest things i've done. Oy!
On a happier note, ONCE opens tonight, and I have no idea what its reviews will be like. If you're buying the CD, I suggest going to Barnes & Noble for their "special edition," which includes the Czech number and David Patrick Kelly's wonderful rendition of "Raglan Road" that ends the cast's onstage warmup before the show actually begins. Yep, curtain time may be 8:00 but around 7:40 the fun begins.
I'm surprised on DR JMK responded to my question regarding ONCE.
I'm sorry, I have absolutely no clue what this means.
You responded that you didn't care for the movie. Since you haven't seen the stage version you weren't much help to me. ;)

What - have you no taste man!

If you know your child can do it then fine. Also if you are prepared to take your child to the lobby if there is a problem that is also fine. But almost every kid i noticed who had a problem was not taken out during the show. Even the family in front of me who left at intrmission. They should have taken him out during the first half. He was disruptive. I do think it is possible to take only one of your kids to a show if you do not think the younger one can handle it. My almost 3 year old niece did not go. And when The Lion King was here a friend took her 5 year old but not her 3year old. I do think that thease types of shows are a good place to get kids first interested in theatre. But the kids have to be ready. I just think that many kids under five are too young.Many of the younger kids did not really seem to be able to sit.
Then again I suspect there were some who sat still - enthralled by the whole experience (but they would probably go unnoticed). My four year old grandson was better behaved during Lion King then were some of the adults - he talked to no one, had no cell phone, and had no candies to unwrap. There was no question about taking him - you can’t take the 7 years old and leave the 5 year old behind because he might not behave; you take the five year old and are prepared for a parent to take him to the lobby if he has trouble with theatre manners.
Kids will never learn theater manners if we do take them! Shows like Shrek are a perfect place to start - we adults should cut them a little slack - they will grow up to be the supporters live theatre so desperately needs,

Around 5:30, i had an EKG, byy 7:00pm, it was determined it was no heart attack, but blood was drawn to check electrolytes and blood levels. They wanted me to have a brain scan but I wasn't interested in waiting around the rest of the night. Around 9, I started getting antsy, and a very nice male nurse at my request found my doctor, and she told me that the bloodwork looked good and as soon as the tests were all in, I could go. Three hours later, i was told my tests were great and then I waited annother 40 minutes to be dismissed.
That was my evening. I am in good health. so WTF?
Ditto. And I hope you get that rain.I have a jury trial starting on Tuesday. It's terribly over charged and the penalty is extreme if we lose. So I could use some vibes here. We have our last pretrial conference in the morning. I'm ready for it and for trial. Not expected to last long. When it's done I'll have more time to stop by
~~~TRIAL VIBES FOR DR CILLALIZ!!~~~

DR George, I just purchased "Chandler's Wife" from the iTunes store. It's another one of the warm up songs, along with "Raglan Road." I'm happy that at least two of them got recorded.

So, "Chandler's Wife" and "Raglan Road" are both pre-show music. Do you any idea where "Este Si Ja Pohar Vina Zaplatim" might fit in the score? Or if it was cut or used in the movie? Inquiring minds want to know!

See the bottom of this "review" for a complete musical sequence.DR Ben, I don't agree with you about the movie and the musical; i think the musical is an imaginative revision and not an attempt to put the film onstage: the songs are in different places, the cast iis utilized more imaginatively. I wish more movie adaptations treated the films they're based on so loosely rather than try to present the movie onstage.
