Her father was a Captain in the French Navy during the war. Her and her step sisters were at home in an upstairs room. No one else was home and no one was expected for quite awhile.

They heard the front door open and heard someone waking across the floor. Then they heard someone open the piano and start to run their hand up and down the keys. Obviously they were a bit frightened, wondering who was in the house and doing this. Finally, one of them got up the courage to go out and look to see who was there and there was no one. The piano was closed, the front door was locked from the inside.

Before long a soldier came to the house telling them that their father had been in an accident, the jeep he had been riding in had crashed and he had been pinned under and was in the hospital, but was in good condition.

When they got to the hospital they told their father about hearing someone come into the house and the piano playing. He asked what time it happened and they said around 3:30pm. He said that was the same time that he had been brought into the hospital and had heard the radio and thought about the piano at home.

Another time her mother & father were sitting in the den and there was an old antique clock sitting on the mantle that had not worked in years. Suddenly the clock started chiming. Her father looked over at her mother and asked her when she had gotten the clock repaired. She said that she hadn't.

A bit later a messenger arrived with news for her father. Her father had let another officer use his quarters to work in on board ship while they were in the harbor because it roomier. The messenger said that a fire had broken out and the officer had been trapped and perished. This happened at approximately the same time as when the clock started chiming.

There are a lot of these odd "coincidences". I wish I could remember all of them.

Even now with my youngest daughter, I've suddenly sensed & even been awoken from a sound sleep knowing that she was trying to phone me and was angry. I often unplug the phone so I am not annoyed and forget to plug it back in. Many of these times as soon as I reached over and plugged the phone in, it would be ringing and she would start yelling at me telling me she'd been calling me a dozen times.

i just got a new laptop and it says i can record tv with windows media player. I have windows vista home premium. When i got to try to record tv it says i don't have a tv tuner. Is thier anyway i can download that for free or do u have to purchase one at a store?

I can connect the dvd player to tv & watch the same programs in the player, now will i be able to record the programs in dvd player if so let me know

I just bought a new samsung blue ray play. it does not record, but once in a while I like to record a program on a disk. I don't care if it's recorded in blue ray, just that it's recorded. It does have a usb on the front of it! is there something that I can hook up to it so every once in a while I can record a program from the tv.
Yes, I know that I can't record on just a player. I guess my question is what is the best thing to use or hook up to it so I can get the recording feature? do the dvd burners conect with a usb?

I was in walmart looking at dvd recorders/vhs machines and have been for a while,i was thinking since VCR's are going out that using a DVD recorder was the new thing,but i was told that the dvd recorder/vhs machines don't have a tuner in them and cannot record off tv.I could get sat tv ie dish/direct tv,but i used to have direct tv but seldom watched it,so why get sat tv just to use a DVR to record a few local tv programs that i like to watch.so my question is can i use the audio in/out to my tv in out<digital HD tv>since i have a tuner in the tv and use the dvd recorder part of the combo to record my local tv shows to watch later.any help would be appreciated.
I thought of that as well robert w,what im really trying to find out is,other than Tvo,a satilite DVR is there a way to record from your tv to a dvd recorder.?
because Tvo is a pay service as well as the DVR's.i mite go that option one day,but am looking for short term.thanx for your comment though.

Basically - I have a video I ripped off of a mini DVD disk that I recorded a concert with using a digital video camera. Now I need to burn a DVD that will play in my home DVD player. (just for the record, I own all the rights material - it was my band.) I can't seem to get a DVD burned that plays on the DVD player. Please help!

P.S. - if this helps; I have a "Desay" brand DVD player.

I recently purchased a used record player off craigslist and it's in very good condition but as I was moving it into my apartment, the cartridge head shattered and the needle was lost. I would like to buy a new cartridge head off of amazon or ebay, but am not sure exactly what type of cartridge I need. The turntable is a Zenith and the model number on the back is 4170, but I'm not sure about the year. Does anyone know what cartridge I need and where I can find it?

How would I record live TV or DVDs to a portable media player? If you don't know what I mean here is a link to a website that I found it at http://www.consumersearch.com/portable-media-players/important-features It is under: Decide if you want to record from a TV or DVD player

The venue we have booked had water damage, the problem is fixed, but it looks NOTHING like it did on the inside when we signed our contract...it had crown molding, hardwood floors, tall celings...now it has some fake wood floor, plain white walls, tall celings with fans now...(pretty ceiling fans and chandelier now but still...)

in the contract it states any venue changes can be made with knowledge to the couples/party...well they called us to tell us the water damage would be fixed...but that was it? They didnt tell us they were changing the look and mondernizing it, i wanted old vintage, my theme is old birds, books, hair pins, record players,etc.

Im sad, can I not be mad? Do they owe me anything? Its 3 weeks away so I can't change it :(

I have recently inherited a bunch of the small records and large records. I want to buy a record player for them but I am no expert on phonographs and record players so I need help. The record brands I own are Columbia, Swan, cadence, specialty, apple, MGM, Capitol, Jamie, epic, RCA, bell, Decca, kapp, dore, mercury, gamble, abc records, barnaby, threshold, and many others. They all have the same look and the hole is the same size. Is there a record player I could get that plays both the larger records and smaller ones?

I'm inhearting an old german record that may not play, does anyone know what I should do to get up and running again. It's 45 years old, my grandparents have it since they where married and since I'm a huge history bugg I get along with the German records they had along with the ones I collected from when I was stationed there.

We have a 1966 Chevy truck and their is a antique car show coming this weekend. I was wondering what are some good classic/60's songs that i can put on my ipod and plug into the radio so we can play it at the car show?
Thanks!

I have anew tv and an old vcr/dvd player

How do I voice record onto the computer so I can make a file before putting it onto my MP3 player, or a CD? I only have the basic programs from Windows XP at home, but I'm willing to download?

Please let me know! Thankyou!
I like using the Voice recorder in Accessories, but do you know if theres some way I can change the recording time limit to longer than a minute?

I'll admit, I'm always the first one to make fun of hipsters, but the other day I was making some comment about how douchey some hipster in a cafe was and the friend I was with goes: "Dude, you are SUCH a hipster!" So I guess my supposed hipster qualities are:

I shop in vintage/thrift/antique stores
I listen to obscure, indie bands
I own a pain of skinny jeans
I enjoy wearing red lipstick
I refuse to eat fast food
I like wearing hats (not ballcaps and newsboys, proper hats)
I use eco-friendly products
I'm a vegetarian
I listen to tapes, though not exclusively
I have a fascination with mustaches
I'm going to be majoring in graphic design

Now albeit, I do sound hipsterish from this alone, but these are my NON-hipster traits:
I listen to the "all-hits" station on the radio and like LMFAO, Lady Gaga, all the pop stuff
I mainly wear flare jeans, not skinnies
I don't straighten, or do anything with my hair
I don't listen to vinyl
I dislike coffee
I don't wear stupid, enormous, fake plastic glasses and I think anyone who does is an asshole

I have been set a college assignment: I have to write a letter, fictionally, to the BBC, stating my opinion regarding development in music technology. The thing is, my tutor says it's too long! Help! Here it is...

Letter to The BBC

Dear Editor

I am writing to share my opinions regarding the development of portable music technology throughout the second half of the 20th century, and so far throughout the 21st. It would be of great interest to me, to discover whether any of your other readers share my views.

We have, as a nation, witnessed the development of numerous portable audio players, and it seems that each new concept is much more complex than the one before it. It is only when we compare the ideas which were developed in the 1980’s and 1990’s, to the devices which are available in the modern day, that we can truly appreciate the process of utilising new technology to produce devices of a higher sound quality and durability than the devices developed in these earlier times.

The personal stereo, which was introduced in 1979, was the first portable audio system available for purchase. The personal stereo enabled an individual to listen to a cassette tape via a pair of headphones. This meant that music could be listened to in a public place, supposedly without disturbing others. (I say supposedly because, should the music be playing at a very high volume through the headphones, complete isolation of the sound would be lost.) The individual could create compilations of cassette tapes to listen to, by recording tracks from a record, or another cassette, according to his own personal preference.

The portable cassette player was criticised by some, owing to the fact that it was not compatible with 8-track tapes. However, it was argued that cassette tapes were much more suitable for a device such as this, as they were much smaller and compact.

Portable CD players became predominant during the 1990’s. These devices enabled the user to listen to CD’s while on the move. CD’s were preferred by many, as cassette tapes had a tendency to snap, or become otherwise damaged, while they were being transported from place to place. As CD’s are more durable than cassette tapes, the possibility of damage was reduced.

However, unlike cassette tapes, CD’s could be easily scratched, which would affect the sound quality of the music. Furthermore, vigorous movement, such as jogging, running for a bus, or even a bumpy car journey, would cause the CD to “jump”- something which would not occur with a cassette tape. For this reason, personal cassette players remained popular during the 1990’s/

Manufacturers offered a solution to the limitations of the CD in the form of the MiniDisc player. This digital device used recordable CD’s and had various advantages to the personal CD player, including the fact that it was more compact, and the user could move around without the sound quality being affected. The Minidisc could not be easily damaged, due to the fact that it was contained in a protective plastic case.

Obtaining pre-recorded albums on Minidisc format, however, was very difficult. Therefore, if the user did not own a MiniDics recorder, his choice of music was limited. For this reason, although this format received some interest, it was never very popular.

The first Digital Audio Players, also known as DAP’s, became available in 1998. These devices contained a miniature hard-drive in which music tracks could be stored. Solid state storage enables the device to hold much more information than a CD or a cassette, and as a result, the hard drive can store many albums, and sometimes thousands of tracks.

These devices are extremely light and durable. They can be transported inside a pocket or the smallest of bags. It is possible for the owner to create playlists according to his own personal preference- not unlike the cassette player, but much more convenient. The shuffle, skip, search and random features of a personal CD player are available on this device, and there are no CD’s or cassettes to become scratched or damage.

The main disadvantage of these devices is that, to transfer music to the device, the individual requires access to a computer. Even in these modern times, not everyone owns a computer, and the procedure itself can seem complicated to those who are not confident on a computer. Also, the device runs the risk of becoming damaged by things such as magnets, water, sunlight, etc- just the same as earlier devices. Also, as the device is so small, it is more easily lost than its larger, more prominent ancestors.

So there we have it; a brief history in the development of portable audio devices. Every individual has his preference. Personally, I am the proud owner of an Ipod Nano- and a Sony personal cassette player! For this reason, the following comments may seem strange, if not total nonsense. So here goes…

Cast your mind back to a

Okay, so i have a record player that is probably from the late 70s early 80s. I bought it about 4 years ago and it worked great then. I stopped using it for a few years and i recently bought a bunch of vinyls and now when it plays some times the sound is distorted in one speaker and sometimes in the other. I originally thought it was the speakers but its isn't because sometimes when i move it slightly they will both work fine. So i have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it.

Can I use my cell phone or MP3 player to record a presentation

Before I post this question, I want to make one thing clear: this is just for fun! Please don't take this too seriously, I'm not trying to say that everyone fits into some sort of label. I just want to get your opinion. Okay.

I'm 15 years old, 5'5 with dark brown hair, thick bangs, blue eyes, and pale skin. I kind of look like that Zooey Deschanel girl.

I love to watch Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Monk, and Family Guy.

My favorite music includes The Beatles, The Smiths, Morrisey, Simon and Garfunkel, the Arctic Monkeys, and She&Him. However, I'm not one of those teenagers who think that because they listen to old music, they are automatically respected and cool. I just enjoy that kind of music.

I love to paint, I love to wear/make vintage dresses, I'm a strict vegan and I am also agnostic. My dream is to travel the world and take pictures of foreign lands and experience exciting things. I also LOVE my record player! :)

I love to read and I love intellectual conversations, but I also love conversations about really shallow things like clothes and hair :P I am a huge dreamer, I love to dance in the rain, and I try not to "fit in" I'm just myself. I love my friends. And I don't think I really fit many stereotypes, but if you HAD to pin one on me, what would it be? Thanks!

Four more and Barry passes Hank in one record... Home Runs hit by a National League player. Will he retire #1 in the N.L. and #2 in MLB? Or stick around one more season and take both records when he goes?
