8592. wonkers2 - 7/10/2008 9:11:57 PM Agreed. I haven't heard her recently except on the video, but I remember well when she appeared on the scene. 8593. David Ehrenstein - 7/17/2008 5:03:30 PM Jo Stafford died. She was 90.
Her renditions of "You Belong To Me" and "Daydream" are engraved on my soul.
Here she is with Rosemary Clooney
She and her husband, musician Paul Weston, are also famous as "Jonathan and Darlene Edwards." 8594. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/20/2008 3:08:13 AM Well my work has made it on to another book cover . . . for the afflicted!
 8595. wabbit - 7/20/2008 11:36:12 PM How cool is that?!! 8596. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/21/2008 1:26:02 AM Thanks wabb–I'm excited because it's published by the Oxford University Press, which will mean extensive distribution and big media reviews. 8597. wonkers2 - 7/21/2008 2:33:34 PM Congrats, Wiz! Way to go! 8598. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/21/2008 4:47:38 PM Thanks wonk, serendipity is king! 8599. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/21/2008 5:55:13 PM I forgot this one for James Salter . . . did I post this before? Brain cells are dyin' by the minute!
 8600. alistairconnor - 7/23/2008 4:04:49 PM So, my friend Caroline (Princesses Peluches) is planning her US tour for October. The month preceding the election, to be precise.
The plan is to take her situationist/feminist/leftist street theatre on the campaign trail. Her husband is a press photographer, and should be able to get a press card. They need to plan to be in the right places at the right time... to catch the essence of the campaign, and to get close to Obama, if they can.
Who can explain how the campaign works over the final months? Are there any set pieces that can be planned for? They really need to decide on 3 or 4 places to go to. 8601. Ms. No - 7/23/2008 6:59:22 PM There's probably an itinerary of sorts at the Obama website, but I don't know how far out it will go or how specific it will be.
Seems to me that D.C. is a must-do, but after that I'm out of ideas unless she wants to stake out campaign headquarters or something. 8602. David Ehrenstein - 7/24/2008 12:35:05 AM NPH will be chatting online at the Washington Post tomorrow. SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS NOW! 8603. anomie - 8/6/2008 12:57:27 AM Ms No. Do you know of Imogen Heap? Another amazing talent I recently learned about. I'm wearing out here CD in the car, and she has some fascinating vids on Youtube.
8604. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/6/2008 1:51:01 AM Charming--utterly charming-TAA! 8605. wonkers2 - 8/6/2008 11:56:49 AM Nice! And The Cap'n sez, "And she's a looker, too!" 8606. wonkers2 - 8/13/2008 12:59:16 PM "Historia de Un Letrero" 8607. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/13/2008 2:56:15 PM 8608. wonkers2 - 8/13/2008 3:14:33 PM Thanks, wiz. I enjoyed the clever if treacly video. I've got to learn how to post images and videos instead of just links. I guess I'm too dumb to follow the Mote's HTML image instructions. 8609. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/13/2008 3:28:37 PM Compassion always trumps technology, wonk--thank YOU for sharing the beauty. 8610. anomie - 8/16/2008 5:03:03 AM Wonks, I had no idea how to post a youtube vid. I copied the youtube link and pasted it here, thinking it would show up as text, but lo and behold, the video box showed up - see above post # 8603. 8611. marjoribanks - 8/16/2008 10:18:08 AM Wonk,
Just go to the page with the youtube video you want to link, and cut out the HTML string that's in the box marked "embed".
Altered so I can post it, the string looks a lot like this:
TESTobject width="425" height="344"param name="movie" value="htt://www.youtube.com/v/k_QAPjtO2cA&hl=en&fs=1">
And it works like below, with this awesome Venezuelan-American-Indian mashup featuring the Bollywoodesque dance stylings of Ms. Natalie Portman.
