Wednesday morning greetings! Richard had a routine doctor's appointment this morning and I had every woman's second least favorite screening at our local hospital. We met at Bob Evans for breakfast and now we're both at home working at our desks.

Congratulations to DR John G! Looking forward to details when you can share them.

BK -- That jerky, stuttering thing is horrible. I've never learned enough about film vs. video and frame rates to understand it, but I think that's what it relates to. (I mean, I know about film vs. video rates, but it's how the transfers and compromises are executed that matters.)

The instances where I commonly experience it are on commercial Blu-rays in which the studio has transferred, say, an older feature such as a documentary or interview which played beautifully on DVD, and it now plays jerkily on the BD. Fox movie releases such as Cleopatra come to mind. Those wonderful long "making of's" play fine until they show a clip from the film, and then it's Jerk City...but watch the same feature on the older DVD and all is well. It's something in the transfer of certain things from one format to another.

Also for BK -- Just remembered to take The Mind Benders off the shelf. If you still want somebody to take a look at that day-for-night scene, give me an idea where it is. I might just watch the whole movie tonight.

I have emailed the pdfs of the Holiday Overture to London, and I just got a call about a possible job. We'll see . . .

Excellent and most promising news, to use the word of the day.

News so good, it quoted twice.

My sympathies, DR Druxy.

Again, thank you, all. Work is a unique animal right now. Learning to tame it or treat it with respect is happening all the time.

I just learned that Leon L. Czikowsky passed away this past January.

Those of you who appear at or attend autograph shows would have known Leon. He used to fly in from his home in Harrisburg, PA, to attend many of them, always looking for a new signed book or photograph. I encountered him at many shows in Los Angeles and Chicago; possibly even Austin, and he always bought my latest book.

R.I.P., my friend.

I have a photo of Leon on my Facebook page.

My condolences, Druxy.

DR George I am glad you enjoyed the movie even though you have never seen the show.

Thanks, Jane. It was fun.

I'm hoping Annabelle's cold clears up before we need to see a vet. I've cleaned out her nose twice today.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours in bed, probably seven hours of sleep.

ChasSmith, the sequence is after they bring Bogarde out of the tank.

It IS a frame rate problem and it was introduced in the transfer stage so it can be fixed. They'll try a test to see if they can fix it without re-transferring, but if they have to re-transfer it's an easy process and won't take all that long.

Does the vet clear out her nose? Is there something she does that she can give you the ability to do at home and reduce your vet bills?

Vibes Annabelle is better before needing an appointment.

They are finally testing the fire alarms in the building.

I have already counted 21 times that it has gone off, and I have missed a few

We hope we can hear the doorbell when they get here. I have my hearing aids out and Keith has his plugs in.

Back from picking up some packages and some cupcakes for my cast. Oh, and one for me. And one for Mahler. I'lllllll drink to that.

My sister recently got her Masters in Psychology online....so we are having a commencement ceremony for her on Saturday night.....followed by karaoke - probably not the way they do it at Yale.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #59 on:** October 23, 2019, 02:21:23 PM »

I don't even think it's the way they do it at DePauw.
