>I used to do that a LOT in the '70's. > >Of course, I had a little "help". > >Sepia"stone" Ha, a fellow '60s and '70s survivor. It's a wonder I made it out of those decades alive. For me, the clocks slowed down. It seemed like they stopped for hours at a time. It seemed like each Bob Dylan song went on and on for half an hour or more. It seemed like there were narks everywhere.

I think they kept some of the old mechanical methods for radio but added some recordings of real sounds like car tire screeches. Before tape, they had to use recordings on disk, which was risky to use on a live show, in case of a groove skip, a scratch, or a needle-jump occurred. Some "live" radio shows were actually pre-recorded on large half-hour disks. see this:

If you want time to pass rapidly, especially at night, all you have to do is look at a clock and the hands start turning fast.

>the first thing that came to my mind is "re-logging in." currently, my log in status expires after 20-30 minutes and i have to log in (or "refresh") all over again unless i am in the process of posting something on a message board. I'm looking forward to the new message board. But I just had a funny thought... sort of like a screwball comedy.... suppose all our names get mixed up in the system somewhere, and we wind up posting messages under other people's names. Ha, ha, ha, ha, what a mad house that would be. Or, maybe the Twilight Zone scenario. Everyting and everyone disappears and it all winds up in a blank mystery spot that no one can find, somewhere in the South Indian Ocean, 1,500 miles West of Perth, Australia? I hope CNN will give the search for us plenty of air time.

The film seems to have taken place in 3 different periods, with flashbacks to earlire times. I think the film starts off in the later 19th Century, then flashes way back, then flashes a little forward. But I don'/t know for sure. Wiki says: ------------------------------------------ The elderly and pious Christian sisters Martine (Birgitte Federspiel) and Philippa (Bodil Kjer) live in a small village on the remote western coast of Jutland in 19th-century Denmark. Their father was a pastor who founded his own Christian sect. With their father now dead, and the austere sect drawing no new converts, the aging sisters preside over a dwindling congregation of white-haired believers. The story flashes back 49 years, showing the sisters in their youth. ------------------------------------------ Thirty five years later, Babette Hersant (St?phane Audran) appears at their door. She carries only a letter from Philippa's former suitor, the singer Achille Papin, explaining that she is a refugee from counter-revolutionary bloodshed in Paris, and recommending her as a housekeeper. ------------------------------------------ The French Revolution of 1830, also known as the July Revolution, Second French Revolution or Trois Glorieuses in French, saw the overthrow of King Charles X, the French Bourbon monarch, and the ascent of his cousin Louis-Philippe, Duke of ****?ans, who himself, after 18 precarious years on the throne, would in turn be overthrown. ------------------------------------------------------------ The 1848 Revolution in France, sometimes known as the February Revolution (r?volution de F?vrier), was one of a wave of revolutions in 1848 in Europe. In France the revolutionary events ended the Orleans monarchy (1830?48) and led to the creation of the French Second Republic.

Has anyone ever noticed that in many of the early sound films from 1929 and 1930, all thunder sounds like someone is rattling a large sheet of thin sheet metal? Well, they are. That was the old fashioned theatrical thunder-making device used for stage plays and early film, before real thunder was recorded. The sheet could have been as small as about 4 x 5 feet or maybe up to 4 x 8 or longer, with one or two men doing the rattling.

>This flick is SO cool!!! I love all the WW Perry Mason flix, but this first one is the best, IMO!!! A true pre-code twist at the end, wow!!! I didn't understand that "twist" at the end of the film, the first time I saw it. I finally got it the second time I saw it.

>They both have Astor and O'brien but the other gals are different actresses (but they play similar roles). I finally realized just last night how similar the characters are, both Judy Garland in one and June Allyson in the other. They sound alike and act alike and look alike. *"It's from Papa! He says we are all moving to St. Louis after the War!"* *The Little Women move to St Louis:* *Papa sings with Marmee after the War. Jo watches from the stairs:*

>June Alyson isn't in Meet Me in Saint Louis She's not?? Well.... she should be! Little Women is like the same family, about one or two generations earlier.

Ham, Below is a Wall Street Journal illustration published today that shows how they could tell, with the Doppler Effect, that the plane flew in a straight line, while their original red curved line is the radius of their most distant return signal to and from the airplane. You and I talked about this more than a week ago. Apparently, the WSJ is just now figuring out that the jet flew in a straight line rather than in a curved line. This is Junior-High school level physics, which they should have published on the first day, instead of this late. This is not high level science, as the satellite company is pretending it to be. It is kid's level physics. This works the same for both the Northern route and the Southern route.

Years ago I saw Don Adams on some talk show.... I thought it was the Carson show, and he told how he got the idea for the voice of his Maxwell Smart character. He said it was his imitation of William Powell doing his Thin Man voice.

Here is a guy who understands the satellite information the LEAST. He is the CNN weather man. http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/24/world/asia/malaysia-airlines-satellite-tracking/ Here is my map of the moving plane (white straight line) The white circle is the plane fuel limit radius. The outer red circle is the approximate last-ping location of the plane. The inner red circle is the last radar contact with the plane AND an early satellite ping with the airplane. Note that the plane first moves toward the satellite then away from it, whether it goes North OR South. There is no Doppler reason to reject the Northern route. It was most likely rejected because no country saw the plane in the air or saw it on radar, and no debris was found. But debris has been found IN THE SOUTH. So the satellite company changes its story and so does the Weatherman.

Ok, look at this: *Experts said they weren't surprised by the news that the flight traveled along the southern track -- one of two possible paths revealed by satellite data last week. The possible northern track toward Pakistan would have been heavily monitored by radar. Pakistan had said it found no evidence of Flight 370 on its radar systems.* *"It was very difficult to believe that no watch captain" along the possible northern path "would've seen a burning or distressed aircraft in the sky during the course of their watch," said McLaughlin.* http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/24/world/asia/malaysia-airlines-satellite-tracking/ McLaughlin is the Vice President of the satellite company. He is saying here that NOBODY SAW ANY BURNING OR OUT OF PLACE AIRCRAFT FLYING TO THE NORTH. And that is all he has. He has no sighting to the north by any country's radar, and no debris to the North. But now there is debris found to the South, so he is trying to claim credit for the searching to the South. His company's latest IT CRASHED IN THE SOUTH story is just made up with no science involved. I'll change my opinion if he shows us any science involved with his company's change in opinion about the North/South issue.

>Because of the political nature of the subject, I won't post a link, research - Federal Communication Commission (FCC) is poised to place government monitors in newsrooms I heard that on Fox News about a month ago. They raised heck about it then a week later they said the FCC had called that off.

I was in the news business for 35 years. All that is just gossip, guesses, rumors. I'm looking for the scientific data. The Doppler Effect would be the same to the North and the South, as that satellite company told us two weeks ago. I'm trying to find out why they are now ruling out the NORTHERN ROUTE DOPPLER EFFECT. I think it is a sham, now that airplanes and satellites have found debris near Australia. I think the satellite company is making up a hoax now, to claim they were "right all along", when they didn't know two weeks ago if the plane went North or South, before any debris was found in either place. No debris found in the North by now, but debris found in the South, and NOW they change their story. I don't trust that kind of reporting and BS about the "Doppler Effect", which works both in the North and the South. For TWO WEEKS the same company told us there were TWO CORRIDORS of possible travel. One North and the other South. They are scamming the media and the public now, since NO ONE except a very few people really understand the Doppler Effect and the ping signals and how they work while a target is going both North and South. Here is the first page of Doppler's original 1842 paper: . . NBC REPORT: http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/54767952/#54767952

>If a satellite can't tell the difference from North and South than it needs replacing or the idiot reading the data fired. This is a special commercial satellite for airliners. It can tell everything if the airline subscribes to its service, but Malaysian Airline did not subscribe, so most of the signal details are missing. All it can send and receive is a "handshake" attempt. The satellite got the handshake response, but no technical data from the airplane because of the lack of subscription to the service. If they had subscribed to the service, they would send the satellite their GPS position, air speed, direction, altitude, and other information. I think that information should be required for all airliners, but it isn't.

>I believe they would had already found the wreckage if it crashed in China I do too. That's why all the airplanes began searching off the coast of Australia. But that has nothing to do with the Doppler effect. If you look at the WSJ graph, which is based on the original report by that satellite company, you will see that the airplane would give the same Doppler Effects if it flew either North or South. The Effect can be measured two ways, wavelength change and signal travel time change. A wavelength change is the same a change in signal frequency. The plane moving away from the satellite would send a redshifted signal, and toward the satellite a blueshifted signal.

How does the Doppler data point to the Indian Ocean but not to Western China? The company said two weeks ago the data pointed to EITHER the Indian Ocean OR Western China. What is different about the latest report?

Hey Ham, Earlier today the British satellite company that got that last ping after about 7 hours of flying time, said today that their careful analysis proved the jet was going South. This is after two weeks of the same company claiming the jet was going either North OR South, based on their ping analysis and an increasing delay in the ping return signal, as the jet got further away from the satellite, either to the North OR the South. Ok, today they said they used Doppler Effect information to determine it was going South. However, two weeks ago they were also using Doppler Effect time delay info to claim it was going either North OR South. So what is different about this new report? As long as the plane was going away from the spot on earth directly under the satellite, wouldnt the Doppler delay be the same for the North AND the South directions? Do you know what they are talking about now, about the Southern route only? Here is some kind of science message board where guys are talking about the same issues:
