Congrats, Vixmom, on the good news. And I loved the dream story.

DR Vixmom, the DVD/VHS recorder combo you posted a link for appears to be the very same machine that I have.

What is particularly nice about it is that it will record onto DVD shows from all of the cable stations and/or from the DVR, which most DVD recorders are no longer capable of doing due to some sort of copy protection that a majority of stations now have. Somehow or other, this machine will override that.

Warren William? Smarmy, yet effective.

Yet an interesting person, if one is to believe imdb.com: "Personally, Warren William was a shy and retiring type. Speaking of him, five-time Warners co-star Joan Blondell said that William "was an old man even when he was a young man." According to San Francisco critic Mick LaSalle's 2002 book "Dangerous Men: Pre-Code Hollywood and the Birth of the Modern Man" (New York: St. Martin's Press, 2002), William, who quite unlike his early Warner Bros.' stereotype as a heartless "love 'em and leave 'em"-style seducer, remained married to one woman throughout his adult life. He was an active inventor with multiple patents, designing one of the first recreational vehicles, reportedly so he could continue to sleep while being driven to the studio in the morning."

Good morning, all!

I've been watching the Oscar nominations; I found fascinating the nominations that got applause from the crowd there and the ones that did not. For example, big applause for Bradley Cooper's name, no applause for Daniel Day Lewis or Hugh Jackman.

It's a media clique at these announcements...not necessarily a representation of Academy voters. I'm glad Cooper was nominated. I'm also glad DiCaprio wasn't.

Why, oh, why, do I find Phoenix's nomination very satisfying despite his uber-strange behavior a couple of years ago?

DR LAURA - your post reminded me of a case that is happening in Indpls. right now.....the explosion of the house in a nice neighborhood....

After 30 days of investigation, the woman who lived there, her boyfriend, and his brother have been arrested on charges of murder, conspiracy, and countless other things.... They appeared before a judge and now we are waiting for the trial to start. It was a foregone conclusion and after seeing the homeowner on the news, it was fairly obvious something was up.....

Hopefully they will ALL serve time. A neighbor and her husband were killed....

Seth McFarlane will make a very good host for the Academy Awards..... Except if you close your eyes, it will be like Brian the Dog talking.....

Very nice, Elmore. And I quite agree, though I take exception with a couple of other works on his list ("Merrily" and "Sweet Little Devil," neither of which is all that impressive).

Think of doing a history retrospective on Boy Bands in my 7th grade class. How far should I go back? Thinking of starting back in the 30's and 40's with The Ink Spots. Any thoughts?

This case happened a few miles away. There's no "case," really, because he is still missing. He is on the FBI most wanted list.

Lunchtime greetings from Norwich Cathedral! This morning we visited the 1793 Congregational meeting house and the Octagonal Unitarian Chapel. The weather has turned very cold and I'm glad I zipped the lining into my coat today.

I'm glad you didn't leave the lining at home as I feared you might.

Are the Mills Brothers more of a men's group? I always seem to picture them as being older than boys? Do you have an age cutoff, Matthew?

At his trial last summer, he was convicted. Immediately after the verdict was read, he turned red, convulsed and died. Cyanide.

I hope you don't have the flu. With all the news stories about that today, it's the big worry on my mind. I futzed around and never got the shot. Of course, everyone's out right now.
