I bought my dad a new flat screen - just a 32 inch model - because his box tv had diagonal lines across the screen and a very definite GREEN hue to it......

Got it hooked up.....

Since I got my new television - I haven't been happy with the Broadcast HD quality, so while I had my cables out, I looked at my television and discovered that when the Comcast technician installed my new box, he had hooked it up with Component wires instead of the HDMI connection.....so I redid that....now it looks MUCH better.

Ah, Comcast. I've always disliked that company.

JRand, that is amazing that the Comcast guy did not use the correct hook up!

TOD

When growing up in Montreal there was no such thing as an exotic. It was either poppyseed or sesame. Or as we called the black seed or white seed." To this day I don't know which is which so I have to look at them in the display case. It wasn't until I was a teen that other places started making (horrors or horrors!) plain bagels. The came cinnamon and raisin and other flavors

The mucous-y congestion after a cold can hang on for a really long time. Sometimes I can throw it off pretty fast, but usually not. For me, though, just feeling well is so rewarding that I almost don't care.

Congrats to Bruce on another sold out Kritzerland Show. Called today to make reservations only to learn of the sold out status, so Janet and I won't be going but it's great to see that the Billy show is doing so well.

Sorry i am having trouble putting up the picture. But do most people's bagels look like the NY ones? I don't know if i've ever eaten a bagel that doughy. Ours look exactly like the picture of the Montreal ones.

http://honestcooking.com/2011/07/12/new-york-versus-montreal-bagels/

Montreal bagels are unique. Especially the ones from "the bagel factory" as depicted in The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. It isa very Eastern European style.

They are thinning. Dipped in honey water and rolled in poppy or sesame sends and then but into a wood burning oven. There is nothing quite like getting one straight out of the oven.

It is probably just me but this was giving me a headache to look at. It is kind of dark and the photo changes were too slow & bothered my eyes.

I forgot to mention

The first in the slide show was Norm Alden.

Here is my Norm Alden story. I was working on the production side on a tv series in Montreal and they sent me to the Airport to pick him up because I was the only person who knew who he was other than the producers and writers.

VinTek, the last few shows have sold out a week in advance - hard to wait to reserve anymore.

Michael · « **Reply #80 on:** February 26, 2013, 02:28:08 PM »

Going through the list there were quite a few characters who passed this last year and a few better know stars who I have to say I was surprised that were omitted like Harry Carey Jr, Ann Rutherford and Phyllis Thaxter

People like Andy Griffith and Larry Hagman were better know for TV than there film work.

So, for the last year I've been thinking about doing an omnibus version of the Kritzer books - all three in one large volume. What do you all think? Doing so would enable me to fix some style issues in the first book (presuming I can even find the Word file - I think it's on a Zip drive or a floppy - have to go hunting - it also might be on my old Toshiba laptop - I plugged that in a couple of years ago and it was working - I'd have to locate it, though. I just like the idea of having all three books in one volume for people at a reasonable price.

Mr. Gavin's accent makes Dick Van Dyke's accent sound more authentic than an actual cockney.

They look at HDMI cables as "optional". They leave getting them up to you. They only use component cables.

Go figure.

I think that last comment really depends upon your memory. Since the boomer generation probably first met Griffith in "No Time For Sergeants", "Onionhead" and "A Face in the Crowd", many of us remember those cinema moments as something extraordinary. Many of the folks "remembered" were never "in" a movie.

Due north of San Francisco County...directly across the Golden Gate bridge!

End of an era: As of March 19th, the new owner of Variety, who should be run out of town on a rail (it's the entitled rich kid who owns various movie websites like Deadline) will cease issuing Daily Variety - it's only been nine decades of tradition down the drain in an instant.
