I saw this record player at a record store in the loop the other day and I really want to save up for it. Always wanted one. But I'm clueless as to what I need to do to make it work. Do I need speakers? A receiver? (I'd prefer to minimize cost). Sorry I can't help being an idiot it's my generation's fault.

My assignment was to create a poem like Ted Hughes poem - Tractor.

Im 13 btw, so were not looking for the BEST if you get what i mean, but if its average for my age.

Here it is, also if i need to include more Similes,metaphors,alliteration etc. Please tell me :)

Ok heres my poem.

Title: Clock

The Clock stands like a general
Watching me through its hard frozen face.
I return its look in hatred!
Its cold, darkened, woven wood looked as if nails had torn through its hollow body.

The texture twisting and turning as if hell itself were a whirl pool.
Its wooden heart ticked,like a bomb as if it were dying through every minute
While its firm numb hands stretched to the twelfth hour.

I saw its rotten, cold wrinkled skin follows up to its cover of glass,where its hard antique face is disgustingly preserved. It stands there still,watching me with its stiff concentrated eyes, I stare back with frustration, The demon is silent , but its eyes are awake watching and waiting for death to silence its ticking, as it strucks twelve...

Its waits in a corner, of a dull lifeless room, Light explores with nothing to find but shadows linked to everything it see's. Dust travels in particles that only the untrained human eye can find.

The chimes begin, Echoing throughout the house,DONG!
I freeze as it shakes my body through its violent scream! DONG!
it repeats itself, like a record player scratched, as it played its final 10 more chimes. Nothing moved, nothing was heard, only the chime mellowing away back to nothing but a seed of silence...

So there you are, i dont mind any abuse towards my poem as long as you say whats wrong. Thanks :)

A while back I asked if the RIAA would have issues with selling an mp3 player on ebay loaded with music. Most people came back saying the RIAA very much would have a problem with that. However I still don't get it. How come it's ok to sell used CD's, DVD's, VHS tapes, records, etc? There is a legal market for all of these items. How come I can't resell my mp3 collection??? Isn't an mp3 just another form of media?

What is the song Neo is listening to on the matrix when he gets the e-mail about the white rabbit?

You know the scene where Rocky is just getting home and feeding the fish. This is early in the film.

i've tried the i-sound recorder but I dont know how to use it. I just want to record a song internally from my computer without the noise of traditionally recording the speakers with a microphone. Thanks

I have portable cassette player that I record music from the computer and I would like to record this music to blank cds.I was told I could rip them using windows media center.I have version 2002. Can you please help!

Okay, I don't mean hippie flowers and stuff, I mean like cool 70's rock and roll stuff. I already have a record player and im going to hang some album covers on my walls but what else can i add?

What is the little round plastic thing that you fit into the middle of a 45 so that it fits to play on a standard record player? I'm looking to buy one, so i need to know what they are called. Thanks.

I was just wondering because I have a lot of old lamps/radios/etc. from long ago, and was wondering if I can just plug in an old electric device from the earlier half of the 20th century in without it exploding or electrocuting me... Like say for example I have a lamp from like the 30's(?), was the voltage in American homes always the same? or will it be overloaded? I ask because one time I was cleaning an old crystal lamp thing, and when I tried to test it out sparks flew out of the switch on the cord x_x;;;

But I'm not sure if it was incompatible with the new millennium, there was something wrong with the switch itself, or the bulb was an incorrect wattage, this thing has been in my family for generations, and has no real markings for me to know (and I'm NO electrician!)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

basicly what I need as a starter

8 cm DVD disks are normally used by digital video cameras. Can I see the contents on a regular DVD player or computer DVD drive or even record into them from a regular DVD recorder or DVD writer?

My Home theater system, Philips make claims, it can play MPEG4 files (Simple Profile, Advanced Simple Profile) as well as DivX discs ( 3.11, 4.x, 5.x). However when I copy these files to CD the player does not recognize any file. When I use any of the recorders like Nero or Roxi they try to convert the mp4 files into avi format which makes the size unwieldy and it is actually a conventional VCD. How to record the mp4 or DivX files on cd which the player can recognize?

Where can I buy an alarm clock , that plays music, has volume controls yet looks "pretty" on an bedside table and/or like an antique. We have one of those old ugly radio alarm clocks that cost .00 at target and I really want to get rid of it. I've checked ballard designs,home decorators and lillian vernon. I havent foud anything yet.

I have dish network tv. I have my tv and the DVD Player/Recorder and satellite all hooked up. I pushed record to see if it would tape Hannah Montana for my little girl. After the show I stopped it and I finalized it. I took the cd out and put it in my computer. It shows no disc in drive. I used the Maxell DVD -R 4.7 GB and set it up for 3 hours just playing around. It won't play on my computer. I was hoping to record movies and then after I get used to it hook it up with my vcr and put all my VHS movies onto cd. I've heard reviews about cyberhome not being good, but it was new and only cost 53.00 but with no instructions. After I finalized it and it wouldn't play on computer, I put it back into the recorder and it played on it. What do I do. I am a single parent and don't want to pay a lot of money for this. I also was hoping to quickly tape some movies for my classroom off of the science channel.
I appreciate your fast response. It will playback in the recorder so I guess I will try to buy some DVD +r. Thanks.
