One. Sometimes Next Scene works but Fast Forward doesn't, or the other way around. Try both.
Two. Sometimes Stop is a sort of soft stop, and following it with Menu goes to the menu as if you had seen all the mandatory stuff. You have to hit Stop twice in a row to really stop.
Three. Load the DVD, leave the TV and stereo off or doing something else, and go about your business. Come back in half an hour or so, make sure the DVD shows MENU, and watch then.
Four. Don't hit Play, instead choose Scene Select and start with scene 1. Some DVDs make even this crawl thru the mandatory stuff, but not many, yet. If it becomes more common, or you are truly thorough, start with scene 2 and skip backwards one scene.
So many people bash Christianity and God based on what crackpots and holly-rollers say.
Perhaps you haven't noticed, but the crackpots and holy-rollers seem to be in charge of christian PR these days. If you want us non-cristians to have more respect for christianity, you'd best clean your own house.
Seldom a day goes by without some christian trying to reform government around his own peculiar ideas, putting ten commandments in courthouses, dropping opening prayers at government meetings as soon as some non-christian signs up to deliver it, dropping even the word evolution from science textbooks, the list goes on and on.
They are winning the PR battle to represent christianity. You need to clean your own house before trying to clean the world.
I don't recognize those initials. Turner Velodrome, did he buy a bike racing track in Georgia? True Value, a hardware store company, who I thought was Ace?
Anyway, this discussion was concerning television, usually known by its abbreviation, TV. Maybe you posted to the wrong forum.
The reason we are *in* Iraq is because the analysts who provided accurate info were ignored because the white house made it really really clear what kind of info they expected. That idiotic line in the state of the union speech was the third or fourth time Bush had put it in a speech, but every prior time, the CIA check had gotten it removed because it was wrong. Bush kept putting it back in.
In most cases, there is some organic matter associated with the stone. I will guess they found wooden fence posts, or rollers used to move the stones, or planks, etc, possibly buried under the stones, or in nearby ground in such a way that it can be assumed to be of the same time. But I don't know, I am only guessing from what I have read of other sites.
One quibble, tho, is that Stonehange wasn't built in one tidy piece over just a few years, like specific pyramids. I believe there are different sets of stones, and they range over something like 1,000 - 2,000 years. This is vague memory from reading articles long ago.
History teaches that power and information access gradually filter downwards together. Look at the Magna Carta; the nobles beneath the king wanted a piece of the King's power pie. This happened in all kingdoms. Look at the printing press, which gradually led to an increasingly widespread education. Landowners and business people wanted their own pieces of the power pie. Next you didn't have to own land to vote, or be male.
The Internet is just a contnuation of this process. No doubt people 50 years from now will be amazed to learn how concentrated power is now, and people 100 years from now will be just as astounded at the concentration of power 50 years from now.
I forget which of the/*er ID/ they "own", but they are sure dropping huge broad hints about wanting it to become an internet standard so they can keep their particular part of it for use as an offensive weapon against free source software.
Thye have also hired away from IBM they guy whose task is to build up their patent portfolio, not for defensive purposes, but to become a profit center.
Microsoft true colors are visible to those who do not wear blinders or bury their head in the sand.
W is less predictable. He flipflopped on the Department of Homeland Security, the 9-11 commission, fiscal conservancy, states' rights, small government, isolationism, etc etc etc. You might have been able to predict his idiocy, but not such extreme shifts in policy.
Terrorism refers to the methodology of using violence to incite a fearful reaction from a civilian population, for the purpose of achieving a political, religious or social goal. Terrorist acts can be carried out by individuals, groups, or governments.
... the US carries out terrorist attacks all the time in Iraq, and Israel all the time in Palestine. Bomb a house, blow up natives, some of whom may be better matches than others for the "terrorist" label... sounds like violence to incite a fearful reaction from a civilian population.
If you think this post is the result of a left or right wing bias, you are wrong. If you think it is from a sense of humor, you are wrong. If you can't figure it out, try thinking harder.
Let the writer leave his typewriter and his desk to his children. The farmer doesn't leave his corn and wheat to his children; he sells them and gives up all rights to further control of the sweat of his labor. If the farmer adds a new building or buys a new tractor, so can the writer buy a new typewriter.
I live in the sticks, sometimes the power goes out for several days at a time (not many people on this power line == low priority + hard to get to), and I also want something to keep the basics going, like the thermostat, a few lights, gas stove igniters, and of course the computers. I have a 10kw Generac Guardian, bought it from Home Depot several years ago for $3000 including automatic transfer switch. It kicks in after about 30 seconds. The computers have UPSs to cover that time, there is also a UPS for the answering machines and DVD/VCR/CD, since I'd just as soon not have them get jiggy in that 30 seconds.
I built a small foundation and shed for the generator to keep snow from covering the vents, but it coems with a semi-attractive rain cover, looks as good as any a/c unit. Mine runs off propane but it can be easily switched to natural gas. Not quiet, but you can talk next to it.
Their customers should be allowed to assume it if they want to.
So everybody else should suffer because some idiot wants to buy the cheap tires that fall apart on the road and cause other deaths? My dipstick neighbor should be able to buy a cheap non-compiant propane tank? We should let CutRateAir buy an airliner whose placards all say "probably"?
The reason for non-interference isn't to protect the manufacturer, it's to protect the public. What the holy blue devil makes you think this burden should be waived for small companies?
Let's carry that concept on thru.... I'll start up a gas station, and since I'm a small company, I can dispense with all those silly safety regs. I'll put stickers on the pumps "You should probably not smoke around here."
Or I can start selling homemade cars, put in some cheap airbags made of a CO2 cartridge and a mousetrap on a hairspring for a trigger, along with a "probably works" disclaimer. That should do the trick.
Way back in my salad days, 1970 or so, I had a FORTRAN II program which had expanded to, I think, 1600 cards or so, most of a box. Plotted some graphics on a line printer. I got tired of the program and decided to go out of style in good fashion. I don't remember any details now, and have forgotten most of the FORTRAN I ever knew. But the main entry point, equivalent of main() in C, never executed. Instead it began with some obscure subroutine which was never called by the source code, which proceeded to call other never-called subroutines, and gradually self-modified itself, so that after it had been running for a few seconds, and actually done the line printer plotting, it had converted some piece of code into a system instruction which crashed the machine. The machine was a CDC 6400. There were two of them, called A and B. B was used for some experimental time share system, and had the system instruction which was not supposed to be present on A, as the university did not feel like paying CDC for an unused instruction. But it seems that the CDC rep needed that instruction for his weekly maintenance checks, so left it permanently wired in place, rather than disconnect it at the end of each visit. So even tho I had prominently labeled the card deck to run on A only, it went ahead and crashed it.
I wonder if Diebold uses FORTRAN II... maybe I could get a job there...
Hack is another word for cab. I seem to remember hackie as a cab driver too, but hack definitely = cab. I believe it is so in Sherlock Holmes, for instance.
I suppose you think it easy to laugh at the idea of Kerry keeping any political promises, but at least it's just hypothetical, whereas with the incumbent, you can see right out in public view what promises have been kept...
states rights (unless it's something he doesn't like, such as medical marijuana and gay marriage)
fiscal conservative (from $325B surplus to $425B deficit in one term)
no nation building (but installing half-assed puppets is ok)
less government (except for fraudulently described government prescription boondoggles)
distrust of Big Brother (unless he gets to be the Big Brother and call it PATRIOT USA)
So you see it isn't just potential presidents who make promises. The main difference is that whereas Kerry might not keep his promises, Bush has definitely broken his.
The moral is to always throw out the incumbent. Once incumbents realize that there is no point in campaigning for a second term, some of the chicanery to buy votes might just be replaced by honest corruption.

Let's blame Clinton, Bush Sr, Reagan, Carter ...

Oh wait, what's that, you say those guys aren't in power any more and some are actually dead?!?
Well shucks

But, no, that wouldn't be a simplistic enough answer to be sound-bitten into oblivion.
In today's USA political climate, any such suggestion smacks of rabid anti-bible terrorism. Better watch them words, pardner!
Shit, that's good, a perfect code name for the white house occupant.
Bush and his handlers are the masters of doublethink.
Maybe his handlers are masters of doublethink, but Bush himself is master of nothink, and that's why his handlers picked him.
