Subject: Alexandra Vandernoot does Disney
I was looking for shots of Andrea Bocelli, who sang at a Disney gala in
Paris earlier this month, & happened on a nice candid of Alexandra
Vandernoot. (She looks like Tessa again.)

Subject: Re: HL Store & DVDs
I haven't watched all my discs yet but I have noticed that on those that I
have seen there are a few places were the music is so loud that you can't
hear their voices. It was really noticeable on the episode were Darius is
killed. Duncan is putting his ashes into the river and the music is so loud
you can't hear the eulogy. I have only had my set since the end of January.
I've been meaning to find out from those on this list who have the discs if
this is a common problem. I haven't notified the HL store yet.

Just thought I'd tell you guys that I just got a call from the Highlander
store about the first season DVDs. She said I could get it for 99.95
instead of the 139.95, so I went ahead and ordered it. After giving her my
info, she said it wouldn't go through at 99.95, but was 129.95 now and no
one told her about the price change. <rolling eyes, wondering how I didn't
see that coming> I had a heck of a time trying to tell her I would wait to
order it. She said they're going really fast like all other DVD's and I
might not be able to get a set if I waited, although she had told me just a
few minutes earlier that the "Best of.." didn't sell very well, but perhaps
that was on VHS only.
I also checked with my credit card company and they said it would be no
problem to dispute the charge if it showed up on my statement after all.
So, are there still problems with the DVDs? I remember a woman here who got
some bad discs a few months ago.
Oh, and she just called back, offering me Endgame.

It's not the discs, Sandy -- if you don't have a 5 speaker setup but
are listening to the 5.1 soundtrack, it's possible the music could be
overwhelming the dialogue as 5 channels are being forced through only
1 or 2 speakers. Try the 2.0 track instead (press the "audio" button
on your DVD remote or check the operating manual to see how to change
audio tracks. The 5.1 sound is wonderful but it is intended for 5
speakers, not 2.
If you *do* have a 5 speaker setup and the music is still too loud,
turn up your center speaker or turn down the other 4. You should find
instructions about how to do this in your receiver's operating manual.
Use a THX-certified disc (e.g. Phantom Menace) to check your sound
setup.

women at the party in the flashback)
John Cuthbert in Bless the Child was Billie Hoskins
Ken Camroux in Epitaph For Tommy was Honniger (Tommy's boss)
Tom McBeath in The Fighter was Coleman the rival manager that Sully
killed.
