A few people leaving TV

15 years ago

Meredith Viera is leaving the Today Show in September.

She's been on it for 5 years. I'd miss her, she really brings a lot of levity to the show, and she and Matt are perfect together.

NBC is scrambling to keep her, as she is so popular.

Katie Couric is leaving her Nighttime news program and hosting a talk show.

Glenn Beck is also leaving. Please don't start anything political, I'm just mentioning the various people.

Saw this today.
As headlines have Meredith Vieira leaving the "Today" show, a source tells ET and The Insider that Matt Lauer has notified his NBC bosses that he will be resigning from the "Today" show when his contract expires on December 31, 2012.

Could he be thinking about re-teaming with his former "Today" show co-host Katie Couric and his former "Today" show executive producer Jeff Zucker? It has been widely speculated that Couric is expected to leave the "CBS Evening News" and launch her own talk show with Zucker.

The "Today" show released a statement Wednesday, saying, "There seems to be an awful lot of speculation around news anchors these days, and it's not our practice to comment on any of it. Matt Lauer has a long term contract with NBC News and 'Today.'"

Meanwhile, the show commented Tuesday: "The 'Today' show anchors are currently under contract and firmly in place."

I didn't like Katie Couric on the show. She and Matt didn't have the chemistry that he and Meredith have.
I find it hard to think that he would join a show with Katie.

Leaving a few weeds in the garden...on purpose
Q
Comments (28)
I always leave some Queen Anne's lace in my garden, I love it with the day lilies. I have some plants that are several years old and huge. Ditto with goldenrod, I have a few plants that are beautiful golden fireworks in the fall. I let a tall Missouri primrose stay this year, kind of an ugly plant but it seems to be a trap plant for Japanese beetles. They are eating that and leaving the rest of the garden alone, so it stays, ugly and all. I have a trap about 5' away from it. There are some commelina (dayflower) plants that I let stay in the edge of my perennial bed. They seem to be a trap for something, maybe flea beetles, but as long as they are able to eat that, they leave my perennials alone. Some of the tall daisy fleabane give my borders a look of baby's breath, (which I can't seem to keep alive long enough to bloom). It looks wonderful with blackeyed susans or the tall wild blue campanula. Wild mullen is a great architectural plant, with its furry leaves and tall spikes of yellow flowers. And moth mullen, what can I say, pretty yellow flower spikes in the bed with holly hocks or tall phlox, coneflowers, spiderwort or the aforementioned Queen Anne's lace. I still maintain that wildflowers are just weeds with pretty faces.

When should the tv cable people come?

Of course all wiring, power and signal sources and controls should be done while the walls are "open". Is your question which trade (electrician or home theater installer) should do the work? In my experience, the right trade to do the work depends on the complexity of your installation and the experience of the various trades. If you situation is simple, and you can describe what you want to the electrician, s/he can do it as a part of their other work. On the other hand, if you have a complex, mulit-room installation, I'd opt for the experienced home theater specialist. Good luck on your project.

Help! Should I leave our TV centered above the fireplace or mantel?
Q
Comments (33)
I would paint lower cabinet doors black and insides of bookcase black. Add a couple simple white and gold accessories along with a group of books light backs. Add simple look on mantel on side of TV. Add black woven basket for toys beside fireplace. Add stack of birch logs to fireplace for decorative look if you don’t use it often. Do not put personal photos on this wall. Better in gallery arrangement in master br or in hallway. You can enjoy more when you can get closer to them. Guests aren’t interested in your personal stuff. Keep it simple since your sweet baby will be running around before you know it!

Gosh if Beck disappears, who will black board companies sell to?

Note: This was not a political statement. It was a hilarious statement.
