Congratulations, DR Cillaliz!  We must have some photos.

[Cillaliz]

Thanks George.

[Cillaliz]

You don't want to see it right now...it's not looking very good.   I'll show before and after when they finish

[Cillaliz]

Thanks Ginny

[Jane]

DR Cilla, you are worth it.  You enjoy your work and should enjoy it even more in the nice office.  Enjoy

Is there an estimated date of occupation?

[Laura]

Great car, TCB! Congratulations!

[Laura]

Congratulations on your new office space, Cillaliz. It sounds great.

[Jennifer]

Wow, good luck DR CIllaliz!

[Cillaliz]

Thanks Jane, the first of the year.  They'll release me from the last 6 months of my current lease.  Today the building manager and I played with the carpet samples and the paint colors. They are putting in a new furnace (it's not on the boiler) a new air conditioner, taking out some shelves, putting in a kitchenette, painting all the walls, staining all the wood and recarpeting the entire space.  It's going to be fantastic.

[Cillaliz]

Thanks Laura and Jennifer

Study Prompts Canada to Delay Flu Shots
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125487330214569325.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_MIDDLTopStories

This just popped up in the news, interesting timing.

[Laura]

We have for-profit vaccination clinic companies that buy up a huge lot of the vaccines; then they set up clinics in grocery stores, churches, offices, etc. I guess the doctor who owns the company writes a blanket vaccination order that will cover anyone who walks in and requests one. These folks are masters at efficiency.

If I ask my doctor's office for one, I have to make an appointment and see the doctor first. I do not want to have to bother with that.

[Laura]

So, I put a coke box and the crinkly tunnel down for the kittens to play with, and Ginny is going nuts playing.

[Jennifer]

re: the flu shots.

I just went to see if the CLSC where i get my free flu shots had info on their website.

They said they are doing H1N1 shots starting mid-nov and the regular flu shots in january. The article was only in french though. And there was one part that was not totally clear to me. It said they are giving everybody who wants free shots, but that certain categories were going first ( i think).  But it only starts mid-nov. So hopefully it will be in the paper. i've never had any problems getting the free shots. So hopefully i can get an appointment when they start.

Here we can pay and go to a clinic. Or each suburb has their own center, where you can get them for free if you qualify.

[Jennifer]

Interesting article DR Jane. Yep that is what is happening here. H1N1 in nov and then regular flu shots in january.

I wonder if the US is doing the opposite giving you guys the regular flu shots now and then delaying a bit on the H1N1.

[Jane]

The news has been filled the swine flu vaccinations are arriving in Oregon this week.  The nasal spray has been the first round ready for the public, yet is only for those in the healthy range.  I think the supplies are still limited & those in need 1st should be the ones getting the swine vaccination.  Since I'm not getting it I haven't really paid attention to where it will be offered.  I know the clinic today was only doing the seasonal flu.

Cute.  Do you think Ginny is a young cat?

[Laura]

I think Ginny is a teen-age mother.

[Ginny]

I think Ginny is a teen-age mother.

That explains a lot.

[Jane]

That's what I was thinking.

A major online retailer has just sent me a SECOND copy of the WIZARD OF OZ set, and the invoice shows no charge.  Color me majorly confused--is this a birthday present?    I'll have to call them and find out what's up.

I'd like a belated birthday present.

You've got a Blu-ray player? I assume JMK meant he got a second Blu-ray set.

I noticed that CBS has ordered 13 more episodes of FLASHPOINT. Added to the 9 unaired episodes they already have, they now have a complete season of the show they can air.

The problem is, they have a schedule with no weaknesses. Right now, every series (with the possible exception of Jenna Elfman's new comedy and GARY UNMARRIED) are operating at or above acceptable ratings for the time period where they've been placed.

They may try FLASHPOINT in NUMB3RS' timeslot just to see what it does in the ratings. NUMB3RS has been on long enough that it's getting expensive to produce, and FLASHPOINT would save them a lot of money if the ratings are the same.

I don't watch this show. But until you posted this i thought CBS had been showing the new episodes this Fall (since it's been running here). I guess it's only been running in canada.

No, the show was never canceled. MEDIUM took its place on the schedule, but CBS is using it as a backup in case of a dud series. They don't have any at the moment.

Speaking of reminders, TCM is showing YOLANDA AND THE THIEF tomorrow morning at 10am.  I know that the film has its fans, myself included, here on HHW.

I made a DVD-R a year or so ago once I realized Warners wasn't breaking any speed records bringing it to DVD.

[Matt H.]

Soon I will be sitting down to watch the blu-ray of SNOW WHITE. 
DR Matt H - I caught your review on HTF, very nice!

Thanks you, DR td. Very sweet of you to mention it.

[Matt H.]

I agree with you, DR Jennifer regarding TAKEN, but, let's admit it, it's just a popcorn movie, one that really should not be taken too seriously.
I probably liked MILK much more than you did, finding everything about it fascinating, especially its incredible attention to period detail.

re: TAKEN. I mean obviously it wasn't that serious. But to me they made it almost laughable having him take on so many villains at once (alone).

I thought the story in MILK was fascinating. I didn't know all the details. I liked how they showed some real footage mixed in with the film. The parts i was less thrilled with was how they portrayed so many of the characters as just hopping from bed to bed.

You obviously don't know much about the time period, DR Jennifer. That was one of the most important facets of gay liberation of the period. (Of course, straight folks were doing it, too. The era of the 1970s was one of great sexual experimentation.

[Jane]

Just out of curiosity I called the pharmacy and asked about the swine flu vac.  They don't know if they will be getting it (they have just about every other vaccination available) & suggested calling my doctor.

[Matt H.]

I got 3 more movies from the library. Last night i watched MILK which i had never seen.

I will say i thought sean penn was amazing. I can't even imagine watching this movie without him. It was a good movie. Although not exactly my cup of tea.

Tonight i watched TAKEN with Liam Neeson. I enjoyed it. Although i wish they could have done it without so much violence.  And i totally don't get how he could take on all the bad guys alone. He should have had a team!

I also got FROST/NIXON which i never saw.

3 good movies, IMHO.  As for TAKEN it wouldn't have been as much fun if he had a team.

Absolutely right, and it was set up what a lethal weapon he was from the very beginning.

Happy Birthday JMK.
