  1. Happy Birthday Twice!!!!! ......or that they say back in da Bronx, "Happy birtday to yous".
  2. I wrote a post here last year when Audible forced me to give them another $10 so that I could continue to be able to access the audio books THAY I ALREADY PAID FOR! As I didn't have time to download all the books that I had accumulated, I bit the bullet and paid the extortion. Well almost a year has past and I thought I better choose the remaining credits I had and download the books that I wanted. I had six credits left. When I went to download I now see that they changed a lot of the popular bestsellers to two credits instead of one. So I re selected the entries to stick with the one credit
  3. Angels We Have Heard On High on XM radio. The Classical Christmas channel. I FINALLY got into the Christmas spirit. Being sick for the past 5 weeks, it was strictly BAH HUMBUG!
  4. Did you know that the game of baseball is prominently mentioned in the Bible? How, you ask, can the game supposedly invented by Admiral Doubleday in the 1800's be included in the Bible? How can Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Cy Young, Ty Cobb, Mickey Mantle, the NEW YORK YANKEES be considered biblical? Well, I don't know. It must have required some extreme prophecy thousands of years ago when the Good Book was written. But you have to agree, there it is. In bold print, right on page one. The first entry in the Old Testament. The Book of Genesis. It reads:.......... "In the Big Inning"..............
  5. I guess I"ve been lucky. Never had any problems with the free AVG. I do update it daily and scan regularly. I've had it on 5 computers now over the years. (knock on silicon)
  6. politics Science NOT a subject that most politicos excel in. moving on...... Creationism
  7. well what I actually wanted to record are vcr movies that I have purchased from amazon. they are not home movies or tivo. is this possible? .....are there converters for this? thanks for the input. Sure. Analog out from the VCR to the analog in on the DVD Recorder. Video and audio. You have to do it in real time. Probably be easier to put the signal through a TV so that you can see what's being recorded.
  8. Quick reply to the salesman. "Take this offer and shove it".
  9. There's a small company in Redmond, Washington that uses these protocols as part of their OS. Can't remember the name of the company though. "Can't remember the name of the company though" Do you mean Micro$oft?
  10. cars Television - Adam12, Emergency!! Dragnet, Ironside Brian remote control Which one? I have about 10. After a few glasses of wine, I'm pressing buttons on this one and that one, but instead of the TV channel changing, the Tivo is forwarding, the DVD player is changing CD's, the DVD recorder starts up, the low voltage lighting is dimming and brightening, the ceiling fans are turning off and on...... And then I finally find the CORRECT remote control that my S.O. lost under the sofa cushions, again.
  11. I bought a Lite-On LVW 511SGHC It's Dual Sided DVD R/RW-+ CD-R/RW-+. also plays MP3, AVI's, MPEG's and more. Paid abought $120 a year ago. I set it up to put alongside my TIVO that is always full with the intentions of recording DVD from the content. It has component, S-Video out and Composite, S-Video in. And of course alalog audio in/out. Should work fine along aside a VHS player. I just checked and it looks like it's been updated with a new model, but look through their website.
  12. "what the hell is wrong with society" Many things. Ignorance, unemployment, exposure to repested media blitzes of ultra violence as a daily normality, xenophobia (fear of everyone that dosen't look like you), a pathetic education environment, Government "leadership" whos idea of diplomacy is dropping bombs on school children, hospitals, and refugees..........Take all that and make it a right for any sociopathic drug induced, Rambo wannabe with a camoflouge outfit that's severely depressed because his girlfriend dumped him and let him walk into any WallMart or gunshow and buy an assault rifle
  13. Congrats on quitting such a disgusting and unhealthy, let alone outrageously expensive habit. Sorry about your other troubles, but please stick with being an EX smoker. Good luck Joe
  14. Edgar Allen Poe Here's another: Descent into the Maelstrom
  15. Unbeleivable! I guess American schools are not the only ones turning out the ignorant.
  16. I read recently that the predictions are for Canada and the Northern US to have the coldest winter in over fifteen years There were numbers like forty six below zero . They said the snowfall predictions are still not finalized but look heavier than normal. Maybe they should send all the folks who think global warming is a terrible thing up there for a conference in early February.
