A second vote for THE ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY which was recommended here at HHW quite a long time ago by DR JOSE S PIANO....

Thank you, Ron, for the pics. It's nice to see the illustrated version of your holiday adventures. Really like your atmospheric landscapes, BTW.

 But I do NOT discuss politics because reasonable people, myself included, sometimes become unreasonable....

But those of us with congenital unreasonableness are free to chatter away!

I watched THE PAINTED VEIL.....one of my favorite stories from Mr Maugham, and I must say I enjoyed this version.

I have seen Greta Garbo and Eleanor Parker and now Naomi Watts play the role of the wife....and my favorite is Eleanor Parker.

I am not sure how they photographed this latest version, but Ms Watts and the two gentlemen Edward Norton and Liev Schreiber all look homely and OLD....and I don't remember any of them looking EITHER in other films I have seen them in.  Story is still good....nice location filming, too.

I did not enjoy the Garbo version much at all. Haven't seen the others. One of these days maybe . . . .

I am heading downstairs to bed now. Eyes are feeling very heavy.

Good night!

Or die of dehydration from the taking of no water.

I see I should have been more specific: do not take water with the pellet. Let it dissolve naturally under your tongue. You may drink all the water you like after a few minutes have passed.

Better?   ;)

Didn't read the article, but I am given to understand that Blu Ray is the thing and HD DVD is out?

Do we need to get new players now?

No, what is it?


Apparently a wonder supplement.  This guy I was talking to said he had been taking it for 8 years and his arthritis has completely disappeared.  This is the web site, I have never heard of it before.  http://www.achevlabs.com/

I, too, like Maugham's work. I've seen the latest PAINTED VEIL, but not the earlier ones. Thanks for mentioning them; I just added them to my list.

Well, I wonder how long the site was down for - the dreaded Too Many Connections.  I sent a strong e-mail and thankfully someone was there to get it, and they "fixed" it without, once again, having the courtesy to tell me what the problem was.

Frankly, I'm really annoyed at these people, but they're so uppity that I'm always concerned they'll just say go elsewhere, and until I have an elsewhere to go, I can't risk anything.  I am seriously thinking of having the entire site revamped and redone from scratch - same look, same functions, but where I can actually do our interviews again, where we can have videos and better radio streaming - the site was designed in 2001 and the way in which it was designed and the software used is so old and outmoded.  But to do what I want is, I have to imagine, costly, and I'd have to find someone who was really good to do it - so that everything that is currently on the site could be archived and saved and available.  So, I'm going to start exploring this and see where it leads me.  Obviously, if i end up going this route, we would do extensive Beta testing to make sure the transition was very smooth and that everything worked perfectly.  We shall see.  Bottom line is at this point, with what I pay to have this site hosted, I don't want any more damn too many connections.

I suspect we were down for at least ninety minutes.

DR CILLA LIZ thanks for the caucus report.  Very interesting.  And you brought up a good point......there are some things I don't want to go back to.  But I do NOT discuss politics because reasonable people, myself included, sometimes become unreasonable....

Well, then....let's discuss religion instead!    ;D

And DR derBrucer, any U.S. involvement in the Balkans was a mere skirmish compared to the bloodbath of Iraq.  At lease use rational measures when making such comparisons...please, for your own sake!

I had a wonderful visit with Mr. Redman and got his latest CDs of The Mechanic, The Tall Men, and Alien, all of which I'm looking forward to hearing.

I think we would have achieved four hundred postings had we not had the problem.

Apparently, I must have used my entire name when I was introducing myself to all of you at this site (way back when); because about a year later a friend of mine discovered this site by Googling my name.

Check your profile, Tom.....your AIM is listed as TomBirkeland.
