Public Broadcasting Service recently launched on satellite TV in the UK. A newspaper report states:

PBS CEO Paula Kerger wants to correct a misconception about American television and wants to share another perspective on the United States separate from Hollywood. Which is why, 42 years after PBS was founded, the broadcaster is finally coming to the UK, with a new channel that she hopes will "give people in the UK a sense of how news is reported in the United States" and "through the investigative journalism, a real sense of some of the issues in the States".

I've only just found out that it's now launched so I'll be interested to have a look at it.

Lies.....John.  It is all lies.

I am thinking of buying a book reader.

If you have a

Kindle (Amazon)
Nook (Barnes and Noble)
IPad (Apple)
Are there others?

If you have one what are your opinions?

I have had a Kindle for two years now, Michael, and I love it.

Thanks for the photos and the backstage going ons. I always love to hear what goes on after the ghostlight is place on stage.

If I live that long.

You'd better.

Or I'll never speak to you again.

I guess haven't done my research well enough.

I thought these devises with e-readers could download books from anywhere.

My next question would be why did you choose the e-reader that you did?

TOD:     And from "Into the Woods", we get a bunch of "saws":

No knot unties itself...

Sometimes the things you most wish for are not to be touched...

The harder to get, the better to have...

The difference between a cow and a bean is a bean can begin an adventure...

Slotted spoons don't hold much soup...

The prettier the flower, the farther from the path...

The closer to the family, the closer to the wine...

The mouth of a wolf's not the end of the world...

A servant is not just a dog, to a Prince....

Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor...

You may know what you need,  But to get what you want,  Better see that you keep what you have.

Sometimes the things you most wish for are not to be touched...

The slotted spoon can catch the potato!

FROM YESTERDAY

RE: The TV Series UNFORGETTABLE

Marilu Henner is a consultant to the series.

Her guest star role is the lead character's aunt who is suffering from dementia. The character's mother died from complications of dementia.

Thank you since I didn't watch it.

It hasn't aired yet.  And Henner's story arc is not having her mother die...that's just background.

I am confused. Whose mother died from dementia? The lead character's mother has dementia but is not dead and appears on the show.

[Jennifer]

And DR Jane, UNFORGETTABLE is on tonight!

[Michael]

My actress friend Jewell Lain called me today from a nursing home in North Hills, California. She had been in the hospital over the weekend as she fell and broke her leg last week. In addition to falling and breaking the leg, she lay on the ground for a full two days before anyone found her!

Needless to say, she is not a happy camper. Her dog, Bon Vivant, is at her little house/apt and someone is evidently checking on him each day and giving him food. My concern is that in a worst case scenerio of Jewell not being able to return home, what will happen to her dog. I have my friend Jerry Lee, who lives in Silverlake, getting the word out down there for someone who can keep the dog either for the short term or for the long term.

I worry that if something should happen to Jewell that the dog would end up at the pound, and being an old dog he might get put down. My understanding is that the pounds in Southern California are filled to capacity. Bon Vivant is such a wonderful, well behaved animal.

Hoping all the best for your friend.

Make sure you get a cover with straps vs a slide bar.  Mine slides out all the time.  I like the back-light on my Nook Color & that I can check out books from the library.  My issue with the Nook is it is too sensitive to movement & often turns pages when I don't want it too.  I expect the page that was missing recently would be missing in all of the eBooks.

I'm curious what issues others have with their readers.  Keith's iPad is terrific only it is too big for me & I'm sure would give too much light at night keeping him from sleeping.

I bought several "cheap" mysteries from Amazon for my Kindle.  I couldn't believe how many typing, spelling and gramatical errors this one set of books contained.  I read them anyway.  I just pretended that I was grading 8th grade English assignments.

Almost a year after I read these stupid books, I got e-mails from Amazon telling me that the copies had been corrected, and I could download them for free.  Since I doubt I will ever want to read these books again, I didn't bother.

[Jane]

I am sure that the show would have a LONG LIFE out here in the hinterlands.

The owner who makes the candy and I had a serious discussion about popcorn balls.

 

[Jane]

Met Steve for drinks and a meal. He wasn't in a good mood because the night before his 22 year old son had been attacked and beaten up by a gang of four youths who made off with his phone. His son ended up with a bad gash on his face and a broken finger. The police seemed fairly helpless as to what they could do. 

How upsetting!  I'm sure it was good for Steve, bad mood & all, to get out with you.

[Jane]

DR Elmore, knowing you as I do, I am always suprised to find that you have never killed anyone.

Michael, I got a Kindle but only because it was free.  I had points with my debit card that were going to expire, so that's what I got.  I know someone who has an iPad with free applications for all the readers:  Kindle, Nook, individual publishers, etc.  You'd have much more flexibility with something like that, and there'd be a LOT more e-books available to you, than if you choose something proprietary like a Kindle or a Nook.  Just my 2˘.

The character played by Poppy Montgomery mother has dementia as does her Aunt played Marilu Henner. I believe the mother is only shown in flashbacks. I read somewhere over the weekend that the Mother had died.

[Jane]

DR MBarnum I'm sorry about your friend.  Something similar happened to my aunt but fortunately my uncle called her the second day & went over when she didn't answer the phone.

By any chance is her dog a particular breed?  If so there should be a rescue group for the breed with people who foster.

And speaking of work, I am now officially retiring from the State effective 12/30/2011.

Congratulations, Tom!!

I chose mine, or Keith did, for the reasons I like it.  I can check out books through my library & I can comfortably read it in the dark.

What a terrific week, elmore.  I wish the audiences had been larger.

Keith's iPad is FAR superior to my Nook.

This is good to know.

Does anyone here watch BODY OF PROOF.  I have always liked Dana Delany since she was on CHINA BEACH, but I watched this show last week, and I thought she was terrible.

I too am a Delany fan and could not continue to watch this show.  I'm shocked it is still on.
