PAGE THREE STOP THE INSANITY DANCE!!!!

I've been wondering, whatever happened to Susan Powter? Last I remember, she was doing sit-coms instead of sit-ups.

I do not see any screaming, blaring headlines today stating that Civilization As We Know It has come to an end because of the switchover to digital television transmission.

Does this mean that cable services will stop offering separate channels for the HD version of this network and that?

There will still be "standard" and "HD" versions available of various channels. The "switch to digital" affects how the show is transmitted and received, not what kind of TV set you have at home. -Since most HD channels are in "wide-screen" or some semblance thereof.

But, then again, I could be totally wrong about that.

But, then again... It was a post.

Discuss.

I suspect in the case here, there will still be two channels per network since some people subscribe only to basic cable which uses the low end of the band (2-99) and the high def channels use upper tiers of channels (on Time Warner here 200-299)

Why do I get Twitter "Follow Requests" from people I don't even know? How do they find me??
...

I've wondered the same thing, DR DAW. If I don't know who's behind a follower, I just block them.

Some people - more like "accounts" - have automated programs that "search" out new Followers/Followees. Some scour other people's Follower's lists - like mine, for example - and then send out Follow requests to anyone on that list - like you.

Right now, the spambots really seem to be in high gear right now - lots of get-rich, get-more-followers and get-more-adult-content "people" asking to be a Follower. BLOCK! BLOCK! BLOCK!

BK,

You should enjoy THE INTERNATIONAL. We watched it a couple of weeks ago, and it's pretty good.

BTW: With my move and everything else that's going on right now, I guess I missed your comments on Eastwood's CHANGELING.

Not perfect, by Sandy and I did enjoy it. The film took some minor dramatic license, but it did follow the actual facts of the case pretty well...and it didn't bow to a "Hollywood ending".

Why didn't you like it?

Druxy · « **Reply #68 on:** June 12, 2009, 08:28:06 AM »

This weekend, my DVD choices are

DEFIANCE
TRUE BLOOD, Season 1
PRISON BREAK, Season 4
ZANE GREY THEATRE, Season 1

Druxy · « **Reply #69 on:** June 12, 2009, 08:29:05 AM »

We had an unbelievable thunder/lightning storm here in Austin last night.

I've never seen anything like it before.

Just make sure that you are prepared for the switch to digital: have plenty of canned foods, bottled water, flashlight batteries, and cash on hand. Make sure that you are familiar with the evacuation routes where you live. And if you should find yourself outdoors without shelter, find a nearby overpass to seek safety. Avoid animals that look like they are behaving strangely.

LOL!

Argh!

There was NO indication to me or others about our time of departure for DC. I assumed we were going in a group. It turns out we were supposed to purchase our own tickets and put in for expenses and we will all meet at Union Station!!! That's fine except you should have told me 2 and a half weeks ago when I could have gotten a RT Acela train for a reasonable price. Now, since I'm getting the ticket tomorrow I can't take Acela because it's out of budget. To get the reasonable price you have to buy 14 days in advance. It will be over $300 RT for Acela. I'll take the Northeast Regional for $72 each way.

There are so many people in this show who shouldn't be in theatre unless they buy a ticket.

One lady in the ensemble decided she didn't want to do the show last night because she was too tired, so she didn't come.

Absolutely unthinkable and completely unforgivable. Fire her ass from the show.

DITTO!!

Jane · « **Reply #74 on:** June 12, 2009, 08:51:48 AM »

Sorry DR Ben. I hope you aren't the only person who didn't realize you needed to purchase your own ticket. It seems strange that wasn't detailed with the original plans.

DR Ben - If you call Amtrak - 1-800-USA-RAIL (872-7245) - and bypass "Julie", the reservation agents can sometimes override the 14- and 7-days in advance pricing if the train you want to book has a low booking level. And sometimes, some "discounts" magically pop up on their screens. -They want to fill those seats. Just keep asking if there's a special, cheaper rate available.

he looks balding and with a handlebar mustache, too...) and make a fortune on e-bay

I was, of course, awakened at seven by solo hammering - there is ONE guy there hammering and sawing - I could not get out of bed and, in fact, only got out of bed about ten minutes ago, so I'm now a little late in getting started and must drive these boxes over to the UPS Store right now - probably won't do the jog as it's fairly nasty-looking out.
