Well.....I would just as soon watch a Mitzi screen test as a Mitzi movie performance....but I'm only going from what I remember. Does the DVD have more than one test scene for MG?

I saw about 20 seconds on the BIO show....

Loved watching the extras on the Lucy-Desi disks....the "strawberry" line was indeed in the show [the extras of deleted scens had Fred discussing putting the strawberry dessert on the sideboard].

Some very lovely color 16mm film shot by an audience member during a first season I LOVE LUCY episode. The Tropicana set was lovely....with a lot of ORANGE!!!!

Boy the advertisers sure loved it when Desi and Lucy touted their products!!

Lucy-Desi Page Eleven Dance.

This is the sydicated opening...it was great seeing the original Westinghouse openings again (and the Ford ones, too) in the extras.

Popular sweetener is toxic for dogs
By Sharon L. Peters, Special for USA TODAY

A sugar substitute found in a variety of sugar-free and dietetic cookies, mints and chewing gum is proving highly toxic, even fatal, to snack-snatching dogs.

Xylitol, popular in Europe for decades but a relative newcomer to the U.S. alternative-sweeteners market, can be "very, very serious" to dogs when ingested, says Dana Farbman, spokeswoman for the Animal Poison Control Center of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Do many owners give their dogs chewing gum?

Good Evening!

Well, even though I had quite a fun day playing auditions, I have to say it really was quite a long one. I am tired. Since we had so many people to hear today - which is always a good thing - we basically worked straight from 10:00am right up to 6:00pm. Thankfully, we did take a 20 minute break for lunch, but, otherwise, it was singer after singer after dancer after dancer...

Whew!

I suspect not. But many, ours included, forage relentlessly for goodies. - leave a candy mint in a pocket and find a hole in your clothes

I just went back to my bedroom - the door, which had been closed, was opened, and on the bed was a ripped open bag of Ricolla Couch Drops I had carefully put on the top shelf of a six-foot book case!

And I'm sooooooo glad that I don't have to play the first part of the dance break of "Go Into Your Dance" for another week or so. I must have played it at least 200 times over the past two days of dance calls. -But at least having good tappers made all that repetition somewhat bearable.

*And after the last group danced, Louis St. Louis asked for everyone in the room to give me a round of applause.

-And he asked for my business card too!

Argh. So after experimenting and running through several discs trying to crack the patch bay code at this post house (why there are TWO AVID 2 outputs is a mystery!) I finally hit on a combination that worked. Since I am here by myself, not only is there no technical support but I have to start the show, with enough black for me to run across to the machine room and start the DVD player. After figuring out all the variables, I was able to make the Brain DVD dub. I figured out how to finalize the disc and everything was good, until I checked the disc amd the end of the show wasn't there! I had been calling someone who worked here and
he finally called me back and told me that the discs only hold 1:45 of media. The show is longer than that. He said that he could run it through his system and compress it or there might be some settings on the DVD player to record it at a slower speed. Anyway, very frustrating outcome after I had just gotten everything working!

Well, it was men in the morning and women in the afternoon... Whatever that means.

BK...before you leave...if it's OK to have each act on a separate disc I can make these DVDs tonight. Otherwise it will be a few days before I can get back over here.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #317 on:** March 19, 2007, 06:51:37 PM »

And I have to say Louis St. Louis certainly knows how to "comment" about an audition.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #318 on:** March 19, 2007, 06:53:22 PM »

While I am waiting to hear, I will create the DV cam sequence. Since the vocals weren't recorded on it, I will pull in audio from one of the other cameras and patch all the audio holes from the tape changes.

Since the DV cam occasionally stopped shooting, (3 or 4 times) I will fill those holes with whatever the widest angle was at those points.

Well... I was watching the Ladies Night Edition of "Deal or No Deal", but when it became clear that the fireman were not going to take their shirts off, I switched over to "Dancing With the Stars".... Which I basically have on in the background. My eyes are still recovering from reading music under fluorescent lights for eight hours.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #320 on:** March 19, 2007, 06:54:44 PM »

I really don't understand why the camera would just stop recording sometimes, when he had plenty of tape.

Well, no,...but...

If we add to "talent" the ability to engage a multitude of avid fans we get a better picture of the nature of these contests...

....

My "question": "Is there anything wrong with wanting and choosing to be primarily judged/chosen based on your talent alone?" was referring to the actual contestants, and not to the mindset of the judges and/or "America".

Basically, if a contestant decides not reveal certain aspects of his/her personal life, and refuses to give into the pressure to "ask" his/her family if they can be interviewed... Is it right for the producers of the show to essentially disqualify him/her since they will not have "filler" reel to run on them during the course of the telecast? -Even if he/she was considered to be more talented and qualified than some of the people who were passed on.

...And then there were those "Academy" attendees who were selected as 'filler' and 'color'... $:-\$

Well, since I don't want to be here until after 11 making DVDs that might not be used if bk wants it all on one disc, which it sounded like he did, I shall return another day and try to do this, or see if one of the minions can do it tomorrow if there isn't a session going on in this room.

Is Jack Cummings III related to the MGM Jack Cummings?

Hmm... I don't think so. I believe Jack's family comes from Virginia - I know his parents still live in Richmond. However, Jack is married to the wonderfully talented Barbara Walsh, who's currently playing Joanne in the John Doyle Company.
