Comments (10)I feel for you Janet. I remember when I had "only weekends" to work in my garden. I'm telling you, it wasn't in nearly as good shape then as it is now, since I don't work an outside job anymore. I spend all the time I can in my garden, but now that my baby has turned 13, her extra curricular activites keeps me on the road way more than I'd like to be!! :) I still find the time to devote myself to my gardens almost daily, however! Fall shipments of dl's have begun arriving, so I've been planting them, as well as digging and dividing existing clumps. Still transplanting this years crop of seedlings too. Got a few more flats left to do. Also, cleaning out and redoing a large existing bed in my front garden. It's been years since it was planted, so you can imagine how over grown everything was. I'm taking out lots of "junk" and making room for, what else, daylilies!! We've had some good rains the past few weeks, finally, so my dl's are looking wonderful again. So green, and healthy instead of wilted and dry as they were during our long dry summer. Well, I'm off to the garden again. Happy Fall Ya'll, Jan...See MoreVideo Capture Devices
Comments (1)I have a video capture card in my computer. Mine is a TV tuner card. You need a fast computer, and a large fast hard drive. For home movies that you want to keep, I STRONGLY suggest you get this done professionally. It's not as easy as hooking up a VCR to the computer and just start recording. There are problems to overcome. Dropped frames and out-of-sync audio are the two biggest. And if you are copying VHS tapes to DVD don't expect DVD quality. The quality is only as good as the input. If you input VHS quality in, you get VHS quality out, or worse. If you have a bunch of movies that you bought on VHS before DVD became popular and you are thinking of transferring these to DVD then forget it. Waste of time. Easier to just get a subscription to NetFlix and rent the DVD and copy it. Some people report great results with video capture devices. For me it has been a mixed bag of results. Hope this helps some. Pooh Bear...See MoreComputers in Kitchen
Comments (20)We put a flatscreen on the wall opposite the peninsula bar, and ran conduit in the wall to run the cables to connect it to a digital cable box and a receiver in the pantry. We ran the cable wires from the cable box thru the basement ceiling back to the cable panel in the basement. We also ran speakerwire thru the walls when we framed, and so we have wall speakers that are connected to the receiver in the pantry, and that allows us to play music from the ipod, listen to the radio, or hear the TV in stereo thru the speakers. DH bought a doohickey that allows the infrared tv remote to convert to a radio frequency signal (that's what he says, for all I know, it's elfin magic) and that lets us change channels on the cable box and adjust the volume on the receiver even with the pantry door closed. While we had thoughts of hooking the tv to the computer, we just use the laptop on the peninsula counter, which connects to our wireless network. Works good enough. I didn't think I'd care so much, but I love the TV in the kitchen. Makes the lonely meal prep much less lonely when I can have HGTV, DIY or the Food Network keeping me company....See MoreHi all!!
Comments (3)Good for you for being aware of the danger and doing your best to stop it. I have always been a firm believer in having the computer in a family with the monitor facing out. A room where the whole family has access to. With several kids set up two PCs in the same area. It is the only safe way to handle the internet with young children. When I first got a computer my Sis asked me to get ICQ so we could talk to each other. It was really neat and I left it open to everyone all over the world. It was wonderful experience talking to people in Iran, Africa, etc.. One of them was a man, a very interesting man who said all the right things, knew poetry, opera, etc.. He was the kind of guy vulnerable people, would fall prey to, especially young people. It took about 2 weeks of communicating for him to get down to what he really wanted to do. He didn't scare me, I just blocked him, but it made me aware of how dangerous he could be if he was looking for children. My cousin in Arkansas volunteered at the public library. She said the young boys would come in, sit at the pc giggling, porn. I asked why they didn't stop it. She said it would be an invasion of their privacy. I said, just turn the monitors toward your desks....See More- 9 years ago
