Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file gumbo; 'Cause tonight I’m gonna’see my ma cher amio; Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o; Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou. I agree that jambalaya does not have okra as an ingredient—then again, neither does file gumbo. But...
We have one cat who hates any car ride of any length. We used drugs for him when we drove to Mexico. One cat could care less and one finally protested late on the second day. Drugs for her too.
Don't spend the money. Look at the specs. 60/120/240 on the display has nothing to do with the transfer rate between the source and the display. Actually I'm pretty sure that you could not tell the difference between 1.2 and 1.3 rated HDMI cables (if indeed there is any). !.3 is the...
Agreeing with Robert: check the speaker connections at the receiver terminals. Also check to make sure that the connections at the speakers themselves don't touch each other (all 5 speakers).
I’m still thinking about some of the issues, but as a first comment, I was surprised at what I did not know. Even though I have some knowledge of movies, including the silent era, I had no idea that those early Chinese-American, silent movies existed at all. I hope that some still exist (other...
I loved the premise of the show, especially the fundamental reason that Sam works at his dead-end job—because his parents never pushed him to achieve anything or excel because he was doomed at the end. Unfortunately the writing pretty much went downhill, with several episodes using scenes...
Not necessarily. It is not so much the age of your speakers, but rather their efficiency and the (clean) power delivered by both your old and new receivers. Often more powerful receivers are actually better for your speakers because they don't clip during sudden volume spikes.
The short answer is yes. The best method for connecting depends on your display. Most TVs have multiple inputs: HDMI, component, S-Video and composite. Just connect the DirectTV receiver to one input and the Dish receiver to another. If you would like more details let us know your specific...
Not so much a matter of belief, at least on my part. An opinion or belief would be if you wrote, "I think that Peter Jackson prefers the EE version of LOTR." But when a source is cited by you, this becomes an attempt at a statement backed up by evidence. Just as has been done by quoting...
Very true Mike. And they had to overcome their lack of physical skills in a couple of instances in order to advance. As an aside, I thought that the sisters did really well in managing to recite the menu orders.
No problem with simply wanting anything. But that is a far cry from some of the rhetoric in many of the posts (including yours) discussing this issue. In the end, studios need to maximize profits--and so long as they are not misleading their customers (and in this case they are not) I see no...
Point taken, even though the international protection afforded by copyright laws are mostly honored in the breech in my neck of the woods. Nonetheless (and aside from the use you cite in your post) I have found very few of those who actually create things (music, videos, movies, software...
I arrange by director. In the case of (a very few) multiple director DVDs (e.g. Criterion's double set of The Lower Depths, I catalog by the lowest director in the collating sequence. This solves the multiple genre problem and still maintains some order. To be sure, I tend to consider...
Of course there are a few related items that can be put on one 500gb disk. You mention a few. There are others for cinephiles. For example, some might like the collected works of Jean Luc Godard on a single disk. Or every movie that Henry Fonda ever made. One could go on—but what’s the point...
Hola y bienvenido Mark. Actually you won't have a region problem with Blu-Ray disks, because all of North America is in the same region (A). Actually region A includes Central and South America as well as some of East Asia, so you won't really have a problem. You can use your DVD player...
You may not be able to tell the difference between 1080i/1080p in any case. Before making any changes, set up your display and a source (e.g. BD player) that can deliver the same picture in both 1080i and 1080p. Check both to determine if you can see a difference (at the distance where you...
