Bowling Pin A.jpg Turn out the lights the party's over, let the wild rumpus begin! Today is my first day of retirement, 41 years as a Librarian, 33 years at Henrico County Public Library. What a long, strange, wonderful trip it has been!!

I just saw this over on the collectors forum and wanted to share it here. RIP Ned Dameron. One of the best and you will be missed.

I think I would just call these fold-outs. I don't really know if there is a correct name or not. I'd be interested to hear from others as well.

What do you call books with flaps like these. The two books I have are Heather, The Totality by Matthew Weiner and The Strange Library by Haruki Murakami. I tried searching with various terms and had no results so I am now posting here for an answer.

Anyone else tired of Superhero/Comic Book movies? I'm seeing commercials for Black Adam and it's not doing anything for me. As a sub genre to action films they may be fine but I greatly miss dialogue, story, and semblance of reality in my movies.

I feel like these style of movies have turned straight into CGI fests with little beyond them. Watching the commercial it's like watching a video game with actors faces stuck unto the characters.

Yeah, I almost fell asleep watching some CGI movie that was nothing but explosions, chases, more explosions...I need a story, not a video game.

Very cool. Thank you.

I appreciate the assist. I was having such a hard time finding something like this. It appears to be exactly what I am looking for.

Very cool indeed.

Yes, you can get bluetooth transmitters that plug into headphone jacks and will send bluetooth signals to your speakers.

Is there a device which can plug into the headphone jack of a stereo and send a bluetooth signal to a bluetooth speaker? I'm looking and a bit confused if this is a thing.

I have an older stereo in the house and would love to broadcast what I'm playing inside to the porch with a wireless setup.

Understood. Likely will be easier to just buy a new stereo.

Thanks for the reply.

Ahhhhh....I misread.

I have wired speakers on my porch and use this to play music from my devices via bluetooth, not broadcast to bluetooth. Again, sorry.

See. I am still confused. I really don't understand this stuff so I apologize if I'm being obtuse.

I would like to play a CD from my old stereo, have a device connected to said stereo which will broadcast wireless, and have a bluetooth speaker paired to my stereo with said wireless broadcasting device.

This will do this?

To clarify I don't want to broadcast from a device (phone, tablet, etc.) and have it play on my stereo. It's the other way around.

This is what I use:
