Wow. Nathan Lane AND Brendan Gleeson! I can't wait to see this pairing. Brendan Gleeson has been a great character actor in the UK for years. I'm really looking forward to this show :D

Wow. At the time 9/11/14 seemed so far away and now here it is... nearly a year away. How time flies!
My first thought was to "get the gang back together" and do an online viewing of the show from our DVDs like we did on the year anniversary.
It would be great to know what Milch had in mind when he wrote that as that would give us some idea of a way to commemorate it appropriately.
Anyone have other thoughts?

Very interesting news. I'm looking forward to where this goes because "The Newsroom" is also set in NYC and is about media... yes, the news media, but there is still a similarity between the two shows. I guess I'm used to HBO doing new series that are very different from other ones currently running.
So, I guess "Luck" had no luck ;D

I was reading some episodes in Further Days 2 blog and noticed that in some posts the punctuation turned into lots of question marks. How could I fix that without going through every line? Is that possible at all?
You are talking about the blog over at http://furtherdaysofjfc2.blogspot.com/ correct? I looked at some pages there and couldn't see the problem you described.
However, usually this problem is caused when you are not using the "UTF-8 html charset" for the page rendering. And the fix is to make sure you have the following meta tag in the <head> of your page:
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
To find out more about what UTF-8 does you can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8 Basically it tells the browser how to display the individual text characters on the page. There are many different ones but UTF-8 has become the standard because it will display things like Chinese and Farsi languages correctly.
If you go to the Further Days blog homepage and right-click the page and choose "view page source" or "page source" depending on your browser, another window will open with the page code showing. You can see at the top of the code the following line: "<meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type'/>" which is in a different order but is the same as the earlier one I posted above. So this means the homepage is being encoded correctly. Please check to make sure the pages with the bad characters have this correct meta tag in them. If they do, then read on...
Now, if the question marks are only on certain pages, then my best guess for what has happened is this... Whomever wrote the text on the page wrote it originally in Microsoft Word. Then they copied and pasted it into the blog page as is. MS Word has it's own unique way of displaying things like quote marks, accents and apostraphies. When you copy and paste these into a web page the browser doesn't know what to do with them because they are unique to MS Word.
I don't know about Blogspot.com but I know the WordPress has a button on the Visual Editor that you can click and paste the text of a MS Word doc into the popup and when saved will replace all the bad characters. You need to check your Blogspot editor setting for this. You may be able simply to copy what is currently in your editor and run it through the same kind of button and that might work.
If it doesn't, you can try copying the text from webpage into a MS NotePad document (i.e., a .txt file). Once there click on Ctrl-h and this will bring up the find and replace box. Find one of the bad characters, copy it and put it in the find box then type the correct character in the replace box and hit "Replace All" button. Keep doing this until all the bad characters are replaced, then go back and paste this revised .txt version back into the Blogspot editor. This will also strip all the bold and italic which you will have to redo along with possibly some indenting, etc.
Let me know if this doesn't help you and we'll try something else.

Yes very strange! Could it be possible that you have two accounts here and you logged into an old one? I really can't imagine any other reason why updating your browser would you messages inside here. I'll look and see if I can find any other reason...

Julian has been a little busy so he hasn't been sending my Friday videos for a few weeks. Here is the one he sent for this week's SciFi Pizza Friday soundtrack... enjoy!

Attention: I just installed an security update to the forum. This should not change any of the functioning or look of the forum as it had to do with technical coding behind-the-scenes. But if you notice any differences please let me know.

Well Happy New Year to all!
Today I repurchased the domains savejfc.com and deadwoodchronicles.com for another year. The Fund spreadsheet has been updated. We currently have $147.45.
Every time I purchase the domains I am reminded how fragile our little site is... in that, if anything happens to me it would be gone as soon as the hosting account runs out :( I did some research recently into what we could do to keep it alive and archive.org who keeps sites for just this purpose. Here is their CalamityDan.com site for JOHN:
http://web.archive.org/web/20081225134900/http://www.calamitydan.com/protect/john_from_cincinnatti.htm
They have one "snapshot" of SaveJFC.net: http://web.archive.org/web/20110107004121/http://savejfc.net/
They also have one for this site taken in January 2011: http://web.archive.org/web/20110106112142/http://johnfromcincinnati.net/
Their server is acting up right now so I can't tell how much of the site they actually got. But when we do know, I'm thinking we need a campaign to get them to archive the full site. I think it's our best shot as preservation!

Hey Wave! I'm glad to hear you made it through also! It's hard to fathom all the others who still do not have power... and worse, no home at all. We were SOOOO lucky!
I recorded the concert and will watch it over the weekend when I'm not so busy. Glad to have you back at The Snug :D

Another great set of tunes from Julian for the SciFi Pizza Friday..
Check this one by the band Bread featuring David Gates, one of my all time favourite songs from the "mellow rock" genre :
Make It With You (1970)
Bread Make It With You Lyrics
"Baby, I'm A Want You" is just fine.
Baby, I'm A Want You (1972)

Some cool tunes from Julian... Whoo hoo!
I send you three great tracks all from Tavares' 1975 album entitled "In The City." This track "Nothing You Can Do" is lively.
Tavares - Nothing You Can Do
From the same 1975 album "In The City." This track was a real chart topper! You was dancin' to this tune in the disco clubs; while I was still absorbing my algebra lessons at school.
IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE - TAVARES
This is from the same 1975 album. This was a real classic in its time.
Classic Slow Jam Tavares - The Love I Never Had (1976)
