Food Network?

The core of a big steel reenforced high rise building blocks UHF

could try a directional antenna but lately I've been looking into
internet broadcast MythTV or similar.


My point was that the bill isn't for the quoted amount. There are all
sorts of taxes and surcharges. A fifty dollar service takes an eighty
dollar check to pay it. I've been on DSL and it was true for them as
well. But yes I am indeed paying too much. It's why I am looking at
alternatives. I need broadband to work from home when I'm on call but I
don't need a fast service. Unless we do switch to internet broadcast ...
 
Just because the term "Tea Party" contains reference to a beverage,
this is still irreleavant to rec.food.cooking!

I don't do music, but I think the 32 GIG is a good idea anyway. They
have a way of making apps that suck up more and more space as time

It's not the apps, it's Windblows! It stores data on hard drives, all

Nooooo..... YOUUU still don't get it!

Your opinion that PBS only presents one side is YOUR OWN personally
biased opinion, the "political inclination" YOU resonate with. See, I
disagree. But, we can't have a disagreement. Noooo..... If you
think they are biased, well Hell, they must be biased. Mr Unbiased
Man says so, so nobody gets a view. What arrogant crap.

Not all libraries. You have to find one and get a card there. Sometimes
there is small fee if you live out of town. You go to the library's web
site and find the available e-books there. You can download them to your
Nook and you read them. At the end of 3 weeks (or whatever the lending
period) they do a "Mr. Phelps" and just disappear.

Nook is capable of reading several formats. Kindle can only read the
Amazon format. The library ebooks are not in Kindle's format.

The other difference is that the Nook's background is a little more
cream-colored and the Kindle has a teeny keyboard. The Nook has a
touch-screen keyboard.

Well, the density of both numbers of people and crazy people is a bit
different in CO than it is in SF. I think gun laws should make sense for the
locality they cover. Personally, if I go hiking in the mountains away from
civilization, a sidearm is a nice thing to have. OTOH, if some dumbass
football player needs to carry a gun into a crowded bar in a crowded city
where it's plainly illegal to do so, and then shoots himself in the leg,
fortunately not killing anyone in the process, I'm all for locking him up
for a while.

That being said, the idea that you could actually be making a useful point
or protecting anyone by bringing a gun to a political rally or your grocery
store just seems stupid to me. Situation, please!

Orlando,

Do you have a special scanner to scan books? I know using my all-in-one
and OCR would take forever.

I am guessing that you scan them to the computer so that the computer
will read them to you as, IIRC, you are visually impaired.

Public television carries the most straightforward cooking shows anywhere on
television, in keeping with their overall philosophy of high density content
with few frills and a decent level of detail. I suppose that's a good reason
for Congress to cut the funding of the only networks that are not beholden
to the wishes of corporate masters when creating and planning programming
for both adults and children.

I know the post I'm responding to is days old, but I had to answer based
on my experience. I used to have sat TV for several years. The first
dish was installed in early spring before the leaves emerged from the
trees. Once they did, I had no reception. Called tech support, and
they called it "leafed out" and sent a tech to move my dish. More holes
in my roof, and I had reception again. This was fine for years until I
bought an HD TV and wanted to take advantage. Well, the tech installed
the HD sat dish and I never had good reception again. Tech support came
out again, someone different than the installer, and he went around with
his handheld thingie that looks for the satellite and said it couldn't
be done at all from the roof or even that side of the house. Then the
coax would be really too long to go around the house to the splitter.
Many new configurations were offered, including more holes in my roof to
run the coax so it took a shorter trip to the splitter (because where
the splitter was was ideal for where it needed to go into my house), and
they even suggested putting in a pole to put the dish on, away from the
house. Well, I gave up on sat dishes altogether and had to fight an
early end to my contract even though I'd had the same co for years. I
did win. HD TV sat wasn't possible in my house with the trees that
aren't even *my* trees, and the second set of techs said the installer
should have known that.

Yeah, I watched "Chopped" a few times and then came to a similar conclusion.
The final straw for me was when the producers went into the refrigerators
between the main course and the dessert course and removed all the eggs but
two, all the dairy but a cup of cream, and included flour in the basket of
"must-use" ingredients.

That being said, I'm planning to watch the "Chopped All-Stars" series, but
that's mainly because some of the competitors have been mainstay judges for
"Chopped"; I want to see how they handle it when the shoe's on the other
foot.

Now that I think about it, given the mandatory ingredient list above, I'd
make a kind of blueberry-pickle mincemeat and put it into a crust made by
mixing crushed Froot Loops with butter, pressing it into a tart pan, and
baking until crisp. Maybe top it with a saffron lemon curd.

There is almost no political programming here on PBS, and what there is
centers on local politics, and it is indeed neutrally moderated. Don't
mistake straightforward news reporting with no editorializing for politics.
Now I will give you Tavis Smiley though. He's a liberal. (And usually
right!)

The trouble is that straightforward reporting sounds like it's radical left
stuff when you've been listening to the highly propagandized and frequently
made-up crap on Faux news network.

I get this constantly with my FIOS and the HDTV receiver. It doesn't
happen on the standard receiver. I've contacted Verizon many times about
it and they just run a remote test and report all is fine. My mom has
gone through nightmares with Verizon so I hesitate to escalate the problem.

I suspect a lot depends on where you are located and if you have
choices. When I was in SFBA, I got most stuff, inluding local news
and TCM for < $40. Here in Nosebleed CO, the same lineup on satellite
runs right around $100 (no cable).
