This is normal and a accepted practice. TV fills the screen due to all shows being shot and transmitted in a 16 x 9 format. Movies, depending on the Director are shot in various widescreen formats. 1.35 to 1 to 2.85 to 1 So you will always have black bars top and bottom depending on the DVD/ BlueRay movie as Hollywood and Bollywood leave the final format up to the directors depending on how they want the viewing to be done. Movie theaters have top / bottom and side currtains that are adjustable so they can properly frame the movie when it is showed. Ciao,

You can do this if you run it all through a computer, you can with the proper High End Video Card have split screen of multiple shows on a big screen. Very Cool. Also, having friends in the xbox group, I have seen some of their alpha test product of having streamed TV shows via FIOS onto your big screen. Just like they do with video games and you end up with 4 play sections you can also do that with TV. I really hope MSFT XBox goes forward with offering TV service via the XBox on FIOS.

Home Theater Mag did a complete review of the Converter box's and normal Antennae versus HD Antennae. They proved that one must have an HD Antennae and the converter box to get the signal. Traditional Antennae do not pick up the new Higher Bandwidth HD signal. Everything I have read points to people who choose to not have a pay service will have to get a new Antennae and the Converter box to see anything on their Old Analog TV's.

YES, The converter box is Worthles without the HD Antennae. Let us know how it works, I have HD Dish Service. Love it. I have been ready for the last 2+ years, it was stupid to delay it. There is no way around some people not feeling pain. After all, TV is a privilage you get by working to pay for a TV. One is not Promised it when you come to America or grow up to be an adult. It was stupid to worry about a few million people that might not have an HD set or converter box.

Awesome Job! Didn't Honda Cancel the S2000 so this was the last year for it? I thought I heard that some where. Gonna have to ask one of my ex-coworkers as he has an s2000 in black. Currently in the shop as he was drifting it and ended up hitting a curb, bent the rear frame and axel area. Silly Ricer drifter wannabe. Anyway, Again, very nice job.

Here in the Great Northwest, all public school systems have Drivers Ed. You can take it as an elective class of after school or during the summer, but the school system drivers education systems seem to be pretty nice. Lake Washington Drivers Ed program is sponsored by Lee Johnson Cheverolet. THey drive brand new Impala's which are then resold after a year as a program car. Not bad for the kids today.

I can totally agree, being 6' tall by age of 12 and my dad having a auto repair shop, I was the one responsible for moving all the vehicles around. I ended up driving everywhere and never got caught.

Prius Proves to be a Gas Guzzler compaired to BMW 520D Could not have happened to a nicer company!

He is left handed, I think like everyone else he was just waving. In regards and in agreement with others, I wish we would focus on space and get new versions of the Shuttle up and running and stop looking to do a capsul crap like the Russians. We need to be moving forward with space, not backwards.

Cool Rides The manual everything is a big order to fill in driving compared to todays auto's. I am not sure most people would have the muscle to drive a manual everything auto.

You Dream Crusher you! JK Probably right though.

I got the Truest Pleasure of learning to drive, 1969 Ford Camper Special with 3 on the tree! For those young pups who wonder what a 3 on the tree is, this was a manual tranny but the shifter was on the driving column. Those were the days!

I would love to have a 2 door twin turbo V6 Grand National again! That would really Rock, course take it one step further and make it AWD.

Very interesting, not sure if it is HOT, HOT, HOT or NOT? It is starting to look a bit bloated like a Minivan on steroids in some aspect, in others there is clear connection to the current Enclave. Interesting to see additional details.

NOPE! I have read half a dozen stories on this now and a couple also brought up how much tax money is spent on the security of the place and that this could have been worse from this wackjob if it was not for the security. This got me to thinking about how we spend tax payers money on programs and why. It also made me reconfirm my death penalty towards morons like this that cannot accepts others for their differances and end up using a gun to cause such pain. True I suspect it is a small part of a much larger expense that should be reviewed. Either way, I am very glad no one else was hurt and feel this is one of those times that they should not waste the hospital resouces on such a uncaring individual.

Hey 68, Enjoy them while it last, my daughter is out of college and on her own now and I think my wife misses her not being around. 2 years left for my son in College and then a true empty nester here, then you have way more time then you might know what to do with. Enjoy the family while you have it now and come back to us folks when you get a moment and update us. Good luck with everything, do it as much as you can while your young before you get too tired to still do it. Good luck with the family, projects, etc.

+1 Agreed, please post the story for us to read or at least more info, as I cannot get to it either.

I agree that this guy should be allowed to die and not waste taxpayers money. While I also feel it was wrong what happened to the Jews at the hands of the Nazi's, I do question the use of tax payers money to support this museum. Questions to everyone here: Do you feel what this person did was right or wrong? How do you feel about taxpayers money going to museums like this? When we have such a huge debt in this country, should any of the museums, social programs etc really be supported by tax payers money versus donations and entrance fees to visit said museum or site, etc. Sound off on your feelings about this?

Interesting read, I agree with DF, some poor writing, but then I am also happy for this chapter to close so that the company can get back to the business of making auto's and selling them.

Does not happen to me either.
