Mr Rantz,
Well said, old dog.
"Oklahoma" is our youngest daughter's favourite DVD of all. She is 5 and already politically incorrect. I think she dreams of one day meeting a handsome cowhand.
If you like those things you cannot fail to go for "Porgy and Bess". It sounds as if Mrs R would like that, too.
I, too, raise the glass. Well said, Rick.
Cheers! |

John A - well, I've ruined five CD-Rs now, trying to get several cuts of music burned into them. I think I'm going to have to go back to the instruction book on this! Sigh. More later on it, and I'm probably doing something very stupid - as usual. Still have you in mind, though!
Rantz - well, well, sounds like you're a very lucky man indeed, sir! How about a picture, so we all can be REALLY jealous!! Eh?
John A. - It WAS the SST - and my friend says every time he uses it he has the uncontrolable urge to yell: "Hi-yo Silver!" Hmm. . . I think he's losing it. . .

I discovered HMV on-line has a reasonable list of DVD-A's and SACD's but are these guy's expensive - from $5.00 to over $20.00 more than what I've paid elsewhere? I think I'll keep buying elsewhere.

Phew.
The lady is quite obviously appraising the sound stage on the Mahler 5 DVD-A.
Let's not start that again. Lord, I hope this doesn't get Ghia and Kegger posting more pics. Kegger's most appealing one was the diagram of the 7.1 speaker positions, closely followed by the vintage Mac.
Surely that last post will help improve Larry's member status.
Could someone please start a separate thread for photos...? |

Now you know why I seem a little flustered at times. I agree about having a seperate thread for photos - why didn't you suggest it earlier?
I knew I shouldn't have posted a picture of my darling wife. It always causes a reaction like yours. I should know better.
And I do :-)

John - thanks. That's a better price, But I think I'll ask JB's about ordering it in - That recording is not so bad but others - like Gaucho SACD, HMV want $48.00. I paid $34.00 and thought it was too high. |

MR - Now I fully understand what you mean when you say you married your wife for her brains, not necessarily for her looks. Hmmm. . .
Can't post a pic of Merri - but friends of ours out in Sedona, AZ just posted me a pic of "the old homestead." Why we ever left that for humid, flat aligator-infested swampy Florid-Duh! we may never know! SIGH

I don't know, Sem. The voices in my head they . . . . . will you stop interrupting when I'm replying to someone?
. . . . now where was I?
Larry,
How could anyone make you jealous? Merri looks lovely. You're a lucky man Larry!
'cept for being 68 :-)
BTW - I'm amazed no one has recognised the lady posing as my wife. Any guesses?

MR - good postings, sir. Yes, I've always wanted a gal who had a "great pair." Pair of RollsRoyces, pair of islands, pair of apartment buildings, pair of yachts - you name it.
But - BUT - the fact is that Mer and I have a good, if "basic", life, and are fortunate to have what we do have - freedom, enough to pay the bills, health, and a place to call "our own."
Yes, even if we don't have all of our CDs coated with "Vivid" yet! - G R I N

Larry, help is on the way. Should arrive Wednesday morning.
Now who was it that said;
If you want to be happy of the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Larry, you are obviously the exception to that rule. Your wife appears to be someone who could make you happy for the rest of your life (now that you're 68 and all, you cradle robber). You'd better finish that book so she can live off the royalties and sign commemorative copies on book tours around the world.
I thought "Monster" was quite exceptional. Hard to decide which actress or which character was more interesting.

I just read that last post again. I am afraid I typed too hastily and may have left the wrong impression. Please assure Merri I think she is quite lovely and the picture doesn't do her justice. She is the exception in that she is a pretty woman who can make you happy.
If I continue I will only dig this hole deeper. I shall now go whip myself and cast my unworthy bones upon the rocks.
Oh, I'm so embarrassed. Oh me. Oh my. Ouch! Ouch!! Ouch!!!I really didn't mean ... Ouch! Ouch!!

JV - I know it - you know it - Merri knows it. She is not a "starlet." OK? So she and I both have enough looks to pass by on sidewalks without other people vomiting on the spot.
And BTW - you won't find any craggy cliffs around here - or around Dallas, for that matter!
Merri and I have a calm, "understanding" marriage - which most people do not have. That lets both of us "do our thing" creatively, while giving us the freedom to relax with each other when we are together.
Anyway - bottom line - no offense taken and stop with the self-whipping! GRIN
OK - looking forward to Wednesday. . .
And everybody else on the forum can chime in now, Jan and I are NOT going to "duke it out!" (grin)
It's a good thing I didn't post a picture of myself - God knows what y'all would have said!
Speaking of which. . .

J. V., you wrote "Larry, you are obviously the exception to that rule." So it was quite clear you were being complimentary. Plus intelligent about it. So please relax, and move away from that cliff.
Kegger, well done with that ID.
Reading the IMDB blurb on "Monster" I think it is not exactly family viewing. Where we live it would probably get an 11 certificate, going to 18 if anyone smokes.
MR,
Latest purchase "South Pacific". Daughter chose it. I am getting a bit saturated with musicals. The IMDB list for Miss Theron says she plays Britt Ekland in "Life and Death of Peter Sellers, The (2004)". Wonder what that is about. Also there is an "Italian Job II" coming up. Wonder if it will also feature NAD and Aston Martin. |

Larry,
You and Merri look quite the couple - the Norman Rockwell picture perfect couple - the couple most aspire to but fail miserably to achieve. The couple in a million. The couple that makes most others envious. If you have never had anything else in life you're still way ahead. Even in poverty you would be rich.
Sir - you have it all (except a decent universal DVD player) :-)
John A,
Yes, I first fell for Ms Theron watching Mighty Joe Young - a King Kong style family movie. Not only is she gorgeous but has great talent also. The Devil's Advocate, The Astronauts Wife, The Legend Of Bagger Vance - a few good titles in which she struts her stuff. The Italian Job part I think was just for glamour. We had to turn off Monster, not that we are prudes, just could not stand seeing Ms Theron in such a disgusting role. I think the movie makers these days think viewers have no imagination - they think they have to spell everything out and push the detail in our faces. IMO the directors and actors would show much more talent making viewers believe without such avid realism. That was what movies used to be about. I could easily get on the soapbox here but I won't.
Really, my fondness for South Pacific and Oklahoma disappeared when the Beatles first appeared but the memories persist occassionally while in the shower.
And I think I would be more nervous driving the NAD than the Vanquish :-)

Switching tracks here, I've been doing a lot of reading about anti-virus programs - my Norton subscription is up in 30 days.
From the user comments Online, it would appear that a program called "PC-cillin" might be better than either Norton or McAffee. . . users say it doesn't slow down computers as much, and is much easier to install and to work with in general.
IF this is so - I might get that instead of re-upping the Norton.
All thoughts welcome - Pul-leez!

MR,
Yes "Norman Rockwell"; excellent. Congrats to Larry, too.
I think we agree on explicit depiction of sax and violins in movies, MR. It is tough when this enters your home, unannounced. Children are impressionable, take cues from all over the place as to what is acceptable adult behaviour. Couple that with the desire to shock by any means, confusing "in yer face" with dramatic art, and you have trouble.
I think this is why we do the IMBD check before watching most movies. Even there you can't be sure.
A bad case within the last year, which we didn't check beforehand, was "Monster's Ball". We just believed the "11" certificate on the DVD box. The people who classified that as suitable for 11 year-olds had either not seen it, were off another planet, or had some personal agenda, in my view. But that is culture, I guess. Going back to Ghia, and the world's view of America, there are things in American popular culture which even a sort of small-"l" liberal like me wishes to protect my children from, and I am from not so far away, culturally, nor a control-freak parent.
What sort of music?
Anyone wondering, as I do, what all this "genre" stuff is all about, please listen, if you have 20 minutes, to Elvis Costello, on CD review. What a nice guy. Here is the link, again. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/ Select "Radio 3" and then "CD Review". He starts about 2 hours 15 minutes in, roughly. |

Rantz,
I too fell in love with the lovely Ms. Theron in the Disney remake of "mighty Joe Young". She made her film debut in "2 Days In The Valley". For all who liked "Pulp Fiction", and would like to see MORE(or should I say-all)of Ms. Theron, I highly recommend the film.
Larry,
You definitely have the "look" of a famous novelist, so finish the book already! That's an order..........(LOL!)
PS Give my regards to your better half. Cheers!

Hey! Wayda minit! MR - hey - MR! Oh, my God, he's gone! On this h-ween eve, too! MR! MR!
(only an echo of an answer)
Sigh - I think he took it too far this time, guyz-n-galz!
Yes, writers such as meingself endure - through sheer obstinacy and dissembleness (OK, I make up words as I go along!)
Rick: you may be alluding (as opposed to eluding?)to Hemingway - though I possess little of his up-front egoism - probably a weakness on my part!
Mer and I were away to Sebring - 2 hours north - to visit with her old and ailing father. Sigh. Good visit, but terminal sadness on the highways in between.
Going along at 65 MPH on a two-lane highway through Florid-Duh's "Back country" - and saw a dead black bear cub at the edge of the road. Sad. I hate to see carnage by motor vehicle.
Then, a short way up the highwy, the body of an adult black bear - probably the cub's mother.
I said a few choice words which I'll not repeat here, and drove on - with a heavy heart.
I recalled an interview with a Florida State Trooper just last week, in which he got quite angry - saying that some "good ole boys" in their heavy-duty pickup trucks make a sport out of trying to hit bears and other wildlife on the roads.
Sorry - but just had to vent about this, because I often feel so helpless in the face of violence and injustice. THE END.
Maybe Nero Wolfe was right - get a great house, stay inside and hire others to face the insults and injustices of the "outside" world! Without Archie, of course, he'd be dead meat - but again, writers can find ways of making the implausible possible. Maybe. Sometimes.
OK - am still researching new forms of anti-virus software, and hope to get something that doesn't bog down my computer as much as my Norton does now.
Happy Hallowe'en Eve, all!

Rick: U bet I know, though you faced the worst kind of "humanity" at the end of a gun or knife, while my most lethal weapon was the microphone or the pen. The problem is - neither of us was truly successful!
Do you ever watch the TV show: "CSI?" If so, empathize with "Grissom" and know what is right, and what is wrong with the world. (the show has become a "must-see" for Mer)

My Rantz,
Congratulations. Surely it is not alchemy, but the Midas touch.
"South Pacific" was brilliant, and in excellent 5.1 AC-3. They don't write 'em like that any more. The colour effects were absurd. Give people new technology for sound and vision, and they are apt to get carried away. I think surround sound will settle down eventually.
I have discovered that I can switch off the centre channel on my NAD DVD-A player. Apart from theory and arm waving, this action greatly improves the balance on some DVD-A discs. With no centre channel and a -10 dB cut on the sub, the Naxos Rachmaninov Piano Concertos become almost bearable. I think the Moscow sound engineers were given a new toy, and just lost all sense of proportion, like the South Pacific Todd-AO cameramen in 1958.
In mutichannel audio, just as much as with DVD-V, I notice that different discs have completely different channel balances. In a perfect world, each disc would have some test tones to let you set your system to compensate for the engineers' excesses. It would be a real nuisance, though. Perhaps the time is approaching when I should get an SPL meter, but I cannot see how to use one without a test disc. There player/receiver test tones cannot be enough. I really must get a test disc, even if just to find out what "flat" sounds like. This is another problem we don't have with stereo.
Rick,
Excellent point. And thank you.
It is said that the pen is mightier than the sword.
At this point of high drama in the US, I cannot for the life of me understand why our intelligence services do not go, very quietly, to Al Jazeera and ask, politely at first, where they get their material. And on what basis they decide when to broadcast it. Freedom of the press is a precious thing, and to be defended. But that tape, or movie file, or whatever it was, came from somewhere. I doubt if it is as simple as the package being postmarked Torra Borra, with a return address. But it would, anyway, be interesting to know where those guys stand on protecting their sources. Is this naive?
All,
I am determined to purchase a Tivoli table radio in the New Year. They seem to be sold in many good hifi shops. I think it was Jan who first mentioned these. Thank you, sir! Here is a nice UK dealer's page on the Tivoli One.
