Why thank you, DR Matthew! The DH managed to order the cheapo cable package that does not come with a DVR. I have a rehearsal tonight, so I will be missing most of the SOM. Will have to call to rectify that situation!

[ryacko]

Good day, everyone!

I went missing yesterday. Just too much going on. Heading to Oklahoma City shortly for a gig this weekend, and gee, I see the weather is in the 20 degree range with ice storms! Dear diary, Please let me get out of there on time. 

BK, I can't make it to your show this week, or I'd help fill in the empty seats and cheer you on.

[Jennifer]

Yeah the library book I wanted is waiting for me at my library!

[Jrand74]

That looks like a model of the set DR SINGDAW.....but it is very interesting.

Glad to hear from you.  YES, the sleet is starting here in Indiana and the snow will follow it shortly.

Topic of the Day (and I say this quite often):
 
"It'll be what it'll be."  It's my mantra...my philosophy of life...my own personal coping mechanism.

[George]

The two new CDs have been ordered.

This is really bound to upset some New Yorkers...Bloomberg Defends NYPD’s Controversial Stop And Kiss Program!

That is too funny. I am ready to move to New York and hang out in high crime areas!

[George]

Now I just have to find a job. And catch up on about a zillion posts.

~~~JOB FINDING AND POST KETCHUPING VIBES FOR DR SINGDAW!!~~~

I know!! Right??

[George]

I thought this behind-the-scenes shot was fun!

That's amazing!  I never thought about what it (or any set) would look like from beyond the TV screen.

Would you like me to add you to the (growing) list of DVD recipients?

[George]

I was wondering about that.

[TCB]

Yup tonight is THE SOUND OF MUSIC y'all!

In the song samples Carrie seems to be singing Goat Herd as opposed to Julie's Go Turd, so that's a plus....but she also sings tabla dhote.....I thought it was tah-bul.......but I ain't no scholar, y'all.

I am looking forward to the show....once we get out of the damned Abbey.

DR GINNY what is a DTA?

Well, I just double-checked on my cable guide; and unless Miss Underwood is doing the show twice, we will not be seeing a "live" SOUND OF MUSIC.

If I remember correctly, when MISTER ROBERTS was done "live" on TV in the 80's (Robert Hays, Kevin Bacon), they presented the show twice.

[TCB]

AH!  Okay DR ELMORE....I haven't listened to the Original Broadway Cast album since I worked on a production of the show back in the 20th century.....

But if I remember correctly, Mary also sings Go-Turd. 

I still prefer the Mary Martin version.  Of course, I like Mary Martin.

If it's Thursday, this must be singdaw!

TOD:  What goes around comes around.

DR George, here's a question maybe you can answer:  For 16x9 HD material, what does one need to do in order to copy it to DVD-R and retain its 16x9 (anamorphic, if the term applies here) size?  Is this something you can do, or would your DVD-R copy come out as letterboxed 4x3?  (Does the question make sense?)

[Cillaliz]

Lovely photo from DR TBC last night....I like production photos!

Well DR CILLA LIZ....hopefully some people on the jury are over 45 years old.....and the judge's behavior should probably be self explanatory....we've all had a boss like that at one time or another....and understand exactly how it works....

Wasn't able to be there yesterday afternoon or all day today.  Had one report from a friend that the "judge" was persuasive but not entirely honest and that the cross of her started this morning.   Will be anxious to see today's paper.  I plan to go tomorrow for at least part of the day

[ChasSmith]

PS to DR George -- I meant material recorded on the DVR, but you probably knew that.

[Cillaliz]

Hi everyone! The computer and Internet are up and running. I cannot find which box has the keyboard, but the on-screen keyboard will suffice for now. Yesterday was the first storm of the season. I am quickly getting up to speed on the arcane rules of street parking during "snow emergencies." The wind chill overnight and tomorrow is expected to be between 10 and 20 below zero. Welcome to Minnesota!   

I have one word for you, Singdaw...LAYERS.  Got to wear layers

[Cillaliz]

Most of you will be able to place this in context right away.

Does somebody got some 'splainin to do?

[George]

Yes, ChasSmith, your question makes sense.  Sadly, the DVD burner that I have is standard def and can only make DVDs in the letterboxed 4x3.  You would then have to zoom the image to fill a widescreen TV.  Otherwise, I have no idea what it would take to keep a widescreen image widescreen when recording onto the DVD burner that I have from a DVR.  I don't have any program on my computer to do such things.

[George]

PS to DR George -- I meant material recorded on the DVR, but you probably knew that.

Yup, I figured.

[singdaw]

Would you like me to add you to the (growing) list of DVD recipients?

Why thanks, DR George - that would be lovely!

[singdaw]

Thank you, DR Cillaliz!       So noted.

"She planted the first redwoods." A line on a Ben Bagley album about Ms. Martin that always made me laugh.

[John G.]

Welcome back, DR Snotrag. Are you here for good?

[Cillaliz]

Thank you, DR Cillaliz!       So noted.

I wear long underwear most of the winter.....not that anyone really needs to know that, but it keeps me warm

[singdaw]

I certainly hope so, DR John G., although I will be most relieved when I can find my wireless keyboard!
