I know! A real cutie. I was pulling for the Newfie, of course, but the beagle is definitely cute.

Oh hey. Vortex reminded me...

Someone needs to do something about Shirley Jones on Days. She all, "I'm Colleen Brady, dont'cha know! Stefano DiMera's always after me Lucky Charms!" It's really bad.

We could go back to crafts. Does canning count as a craft? I'm making marmalade right now, AIFG.

The beagle just had so much personality and presence, I had to root for it. Those were some gorgeous pups all around, though.

I think you should start a home business on the side. I mean, you marmalade a lot, right? And it always sounds so goooood.

do you want to share? I know that when I do that sort of thing I always have a bunch of extra. I'm just trying to be helpful.

Huzzah! It's about damn time. My question is (Kristen?) how well did the guild make out on it's demands? And yet again thanks for the updates.

How does one can? Are there actual cans involved? How does that work?

My question is (Kristen?) how well did the guild make out on it's demands?

It's a mixed bag. Obviously, there was no movement on the DVD rate. (And, frankly, I don't think there ever will be.) We got an increase on EST (aka iTunes) but not a great one. We got a good rate on internet rentals and, given the recent launch of iTunes rentals, could prove to be a nice amount of money down the road. We did get jurisdiction on a lot of the made-for-the-internet programming. We also got residuals on ad supported streaming of tv and features.

What we got on ad supported streaming is better than I thought we'd get but worse than what I would have liked. But there are some clauses in the package that should, hopefully, help us in the future as that platform becomes more popular and profitable.

I don't think we'll really know how well we did or didn't do for a few years.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
