I need your opinion for a work-related matter. In my library's online catalog, every item has a status. If it's not checked out, the status is - mara Jun 25, 08:01 8
- if they can show the due date, then why can't they show a returned on date? -- nm - zork Jun 25, 08:19 2
  - Good question! -- nm - mara Jun 25, 08:24 1
    - assuming they can, showing that for even 7 days is not unreasonable -- nm - zork Jun 25, 08:25
- Certainly not more than three. That implies a good chance of consecutive fruitless trips to pick up a book. -- nm - Jelly Jun 25, 08:05
- 2 days. -- nm - Diva Jun 25, 08:04
- as a library customer, i would expect 2 days to be reasonable. - Andie Jun 25, 08:02

From b2 Good for Emma - eag Jun 25, 07:40 21
- one thing for which I'm glad for them is that through all of this, they're getting to work with British actors who know their sh!t. - znufrii Jun 25, 07:51 20
  - Bah...I disagree. They worked with some very talented actors, who are all British. nm - Jim Jun 25, 08:13 11
    - Could you, in theory, put together an american ensemble like that? Probably. Would they be household names? I doubt it. - znufrii Jun 25, 08:16 10
      - Come on...before Potter was Maggie Smith a household name? - Jim Jun 25, 08:23 3
        
        branagh absolutely was. maggie smith had two oscars and three other nominations. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 08:26
        
        household names in Britain, I wouldn't doubt. -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 08:23 1
        
        household names in Britain come a lot cheaper :) -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 08:25
      - This should be a poll on the next board. McGonagall - Meryl Streep -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 08:19 5
        
        Sure...he's not an old white guy...but Morgan Freeman would make a wonderful Dumbledore. -- nm - Jim Jun 25, 08:23 1
        
        for some reason I was thinking Paul Giamatti -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 08:24
        
        Snape -- Daniel Day Lewis -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 08:20 2
        
        British! Recast with American actors only. -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 08:21 1
        
        why did i think he was American? -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 08:22
  - She was good in Ballet Shoes. -- nm - LMS Jun 25, 07:56
  - are you saying brit actors are better? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:52 6
    - There certainly are standout American actors, but as a whole, in my experience, the Brits are more skilled in the craft. -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 07:54
    - Maybe more down-to-earth and less caught up in celebrity (generally speaking) -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 07:54 4
      - as opposed to "Telly presenters" I guess. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:59 1
        
        Oh absolutely - in some ways the celebrity culture in the UK is worse than the US. But actors like Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, etc aren't part of that -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 08:01
      - It's also their adherence and respect of language and text imo. -- nm - Diva Jun 25, 07:56 1
        
        That's a good point - improvising and the 'method' are much more important in the US -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 07:58

  - well, to the im: obviously i would be sober for the show in these circumstances. - TFox Jun 25, 07:44 1
    - I get that. honestly I do. I'm not saying being selfish is the wrong thing to do - tRuMaN Jun 25, 07:46
- Well...if you can pull off 2...that's the way to go. what age are the campers? -- nm - Jim Jun 25, 07:40 4
  - grades 8-12. and it should be noted: the showcase is a new thing this year that i thought up; none of the campers know about it. - TFox Jun 25, 07:41 3
    - Option 4 - take all the kids to 311. (but try opt 2 first) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 25, 07:48

  - So not a good rental then, huh? Too bad. I read the book when I was sick with a cold. It was silly, but it cheered me up some. -- nm - Diva Jun 25, 07:55 4
    - Horrendous movie. In just about every manner. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 08:01
    - Well, to each his own - you might really like it - I thought it was horrible. - kelly Jun 25, 07:56 2
      - All of the trailers made it look so silly I didn't mind missing it in theatres even though I was a fan of the book. - Diva Jun 25, 08:01 1
        
        The only decent part was the main actor. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 08:02

Redmond: he was the President at the time; SS was at the entrace to the course, we got grilled...then we had to wait in the parking lot while he teed - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:26 3
- That's so cool though. -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 07:27 2
  - Apparently, Clinton called just after we did so we had no clue. Two cops were out front, we drove by the first time, then circled back and they stop - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:32 1
    - heh, sounds typical. It would be way easy to conceal weapons in the clubs., though. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:35

- friend of mine does 1812 stuff, has a couple of muskets, and has a side business making uniforms. -- nm - dealer Jun 25, 07:40 1
  - cool! I don't know what rifles the continental soldiers are carrying. The regular drill team is carrying 1903 Smith-something, with fixed bayonets. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:43
- awesome! - znufrii Jun 25, 07:28 6
  - you have one more week. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:28 5
    - maybe next year... -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 07:30 4
      - Also, obviously the pictures can't show this but the fife and drum corps is outstanding. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:34 2
        
        I bet... -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 07:35 1
        
        The close ups were after the show. the drummers did a little demo for us. they're so good. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:35
      - Very worth it. I also recommend the Marine Dress Parade on Friday nights. They do a Silent Drill which is awesome. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:33
- note for the ladies and the guys who don't need to be paid $1000: Pretty boys in uniform! -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:28 6
  - gawd, i love a man in uniform -- nm - 'lia Jun 25, 07:38 5
    - When I talk about the boys doing rifle drills here on base, these are the guys. - loosilu Jun 25, 07:44 4
      - the best part about a man in uniform is getting him out of it - 'lia Jun 25, 07:52 3
        
        did I mention they're all required to be six feet tall? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:53 2

        *hastens to add* not that there's anything wrong with nontallness, but it's pretty intimidating to stand next to a whole line of Talls. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:54
ML...ok, so explain to me how this works then. If we trade in a "clunker" for this voucher...who do we actually give the car to? - Jim Jun 25, 07:25 15
- also here is a mototrend mag article on this (note, they say its the combined fuel economy of the car) -- (link) - tRuMaN Jun 25, 07:33 3
  - and here is the actual government site about the program -- (link) - tRuMaN Jun 25, 07:35 2
    - I know, I know, too many posts. but the gov site says this program is for new car purchases and leases. - tRuMaN Jun 25, 07:36 1
      - We also have a dealer in town offering up to $5000 over KBB in trade for our vehicle... - Jim Jun 25, 07:41
- you have to take the car to a dealership, they provide you the voucher - tRuMaN Jun 25, 07:29 4
  - So, let's say they would normally give me $5000 in trade for this car...the voucher program does nothing for me, yes? -- nm - Jim Jun 25, 07:32 3
    - no one really knows. I mean, the dealership gets $4500 in free money to give you, but - tRuMaN Jun 25, 07:34 2
      - Ok...I'm getting it now. So if the best they can do from a scrapyard for my car is say...$500. Then I can get the $4500 voucher, plus the $500 scrap - Jim Jun 25, 07:36 1
        
        yeah, you will have to wait and see. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 25, 07:38
- [deleted] 2
  - maybe, maybe no. there is not value in the clunker to the dealership - tRuMaN Jun 25, 07:29 1
    - -t -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 25, 07:31
- I'd wager that value is lessened by the tranny blowing up. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:27 1
  - Well...it's under warranty and is in the shop right now having the tranny looked at and hopefully fixed/replaced. - Jim Jun 25, 07:30
- I believe it will all be done through the dealership -- nm - decline Jun 25, 07:26
for Red: Security here is higher than normal, but not unmanageable. They've divided the two entrances. - loosilu Jun 25, 07:22 1
