Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a little heaven and a little hell, and now it is time for you to post until the heavenly hellish cows come home.

I wish I could log in from my Nook-haven't a clue why I can't. Speaking of the Nook I was missing a page in the book I just finished.

I've stretched & downloaded "The Land of Painted Caves: Earth's Children" my library just made available to me. Perfect timing too as I finished the book I was reading. Since I can't sleep I got up to download it in case I want to read in the morning before getting up.

Woke at 7.00am feeling great - which is unusual because on Wednesday morning, following the regular Tuesday night-out drinks, I usually feel like Death Warmed Up until at least midday

BK: Your run-in with the dog owner was shocking and appalling. Is that the first time you've had problems with people claiming rights on album artwork?

I've just received the Blu of Mutiny on the Bounty. It looks and sounds spectacular and really takes me back to the time when I saw it in 70mm. Vastly better than the old DVD and an absolutely wonderful film!

My opinion of the photo event. My opinion only.

What an a-hole that guy with the dog was.

Unless he had the dog copywrited (Is there such a word?) he had no legal right and no paw to stand on.

The USA is such a slap happy suing nation.

He was basically holding the release hostage and even offering him 1/2 the amount is still extortion.

I know that the reprint is costing money but I'm glad to see you didn't give in at the end.

I think I can answer that question (sort of) in a roundabout way.

One of the last albums Bruce was working on before he left that other label and did not have time to complete was Believe: The Songs of the Sherman Brothers. He did not receive his producer credit but "conceived by" if memory serves me. The cd was badly mixed leaving out one of the orchestra passes

The image of the final version is below. Originally in place of the photo of The Sherman Brothers were images from Disney films. I believe that that version was being promoted (The CD hadn't been released). They did not get permission from the Disney company to use the photos and Disney threatened to take legal action and the cover was changed.

One of the last surviving actors to play a Munchkin in The Wizard of Oz has passed.

I have found two or three of my photos printed in our church denomination magazine. I neither sent the photos to the magazine nor gave my permission to have them printed. I got no photo credit, either.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 16, 2011, 05:38:23 AM »

It's like the wild west! And pretty ridiculous, especially since he didn't own the photo anyway. Sounds like a scam that he has pulled before.

Glad I won't have to look at that dog's face!

I am very happy with the top three on DWTS.....the more I heard the "wild track" of the voice of the one going home, the more I disliked that person.....

So....on to the finals.

Using the AMAZON drop down menus for "returning" my LOST HORIZON takes me in circles and I can't find the right combination to get a new one.

re: the tv show UNFORGETTABLE

Quote

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.

I haven't watched last night's show yet. But Carrie Well's (Poppy's) mother is not dead on the show. They have shown her (not in flashbacks) a few times. Not sure if anything has happened to the actress playing her or if the character will die on the show. I tried to find her name but could not find it listed anywhere.

I've been reading some articles about Marilu Henner appearing on last night's show. They do say that the character is based on her. Even though the police aspect is not based on her. I love how she gets sent the scripts and tells them if something seems off.

Apparently only 20 people in the world are confirmed to have this super memory. And she is one of them.

It's funny but even though I love Maks, I thought that it was Hope's attitude that was bugging me. She was not very good on Monday. Yet acted like the judges were marking her down because they disliked her and Maks. I found her attitude appalling. I think the judges were mean to Maks a couple of weeks ago. And occasionally they have made mean comments to him. What Carrie Ann said to him was mean. BUT that said, what she said to Hope was right on. The lifts were so awkward. I think even though Hope is an Olympic athlete she still was much more awkward dancing than any other athlete they've had on the show.

I am super happy with the F3. And i actually would be okay with any of them winning. I've never usually gravitated towards Cheryl's partnerships. But I love her and Rob. She has done so great with him. And she's so supportive. I really am enjoying them now.

Good morning, all! I had a weird dream that I was in London for a rehearsal in 1962.

I have very little to report, unlike yesterday. I continue to unpack and then I'll look for possible songs for the show. Later in the day I have a production meeting on 23rd Street. After that I will stop by Toyland to make certain all is well and safe there.

I think you should sue them. Sue the church, I say!

And would you believe there's a guy I've been tackling on another forum who contends that the high-def master used was "too old" and that, as a result, this new Blu-ray is "bad" and "mediocre"?

Nothing but a 6K scan (at how many thousands of extra dollars) needed to be done to satisfy him. He will not answer my direct question as to whether he has actually "seen" the Blu-ray.
