    Giving blood

    So anyone else here make a habit of giving blood regularly? I just had a pint taken out by the Red Cross, and discovered its generally not a good idea to try starting a lawnmower a several hours afterward. Felt my arm was very wet under my jacket, pulled it off and found I was in the process...

    Sanctuary - Official thread

    Anyone here watched the initial episodes for Sanctuary yet? It was split up into a bunch of 15 minute webisodes for distribution. You can watch them online for free, or download a higher quality for a fee: Sanctuary Home Put the webisodes together, and you get basically the first two hour...

    Car wreck - declared loss. What if I don't want to surrender vehicle?

    We were in a minor fender bender last week, resulting in the trunk and rear tail lights being broken. The car is perfectly drivable. A new tail light would make it 100% street legal again. However to completely replair the damage, the two quotes I've gotten both are coming up as more than...

    2007 Movies - so many to watch, and many great sequels

    Time change related bug? 622

    My 622 receiver appears to have changed time correctly, but I've noticed many of my regular timers are no longer scheduled to fire. They appear in the timer list, but if you select them, you don't see any events listed under them and they no longer have a timer icon when viewed in the guide. I...

    622 question: Able to quickly toggle resolutions?

    Just got my new 622 setup. One thing I'd hoped they would have fixed by now is the ability to quickly switch resolutions between HD and SD. Perhaps I'm just overlooking this, but thus far I don't see such an option. I have an older Sony 4:3 TV, that does a vertical squeeze when it sees a...

    'Torchwood'

    Anyone else watching this British tv series? (not being broadcast here in the US yet) For those who don't know, its a dark spinoff of Dr. Who. My wife, who hates the Stargates and BSG, loves this show. Its not so much about the scifi so much as about the main characters and the toll and...
