I've been caught up in Ken Burns' "The Civil War," on PBS again this week. Can't believe it's been 25 yrs since it first aired. I could listen to Shelby Foote talk all day.

Shelby Foote attended UNC but never graduated. He made that documentary...
I proudly took AFAM 040 at Carolina.

Bears don't take to eye gouging
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: UCLA Bruins
I watched the Martian last night. It does a good job of giving you that America, Fuck Yea feeling.
Also, almost everything is plausible in the movie - all the science shit that he does is entertaining and it has alot of humor.

Re: UCLA Bruins
FWIW, I'm giving everyone in my family the same thing for Xmas
I've talked about it before on here but I'm giving them a $35 android streaming box. The box has 3 usb ports, HDMI out, a basic remote, an ethernet port, built in wireless 8.01G and an SD card reader.
Basically on the surface it turns your TV into a SmartTV that has the google play store. So you can download apps that your smart phone uses and use them on the TV.
For another $14 you can buy a wireless keyboard with mouse which greatly enhances the usability of it
Now on the surface you probably wouldn't care about this unless you just wanted the novelty of turning your old HDTV into a smart TV and to be honest, I don't use it for that, but it allow you to add a cheap hi def $20 camera and use it for Skype which is kinda cool
but what do I use it for and why am I giving it to my family
Primarily for an app called Kodi (previous version is XBMC).
Kodi is a media streamer that organizes media both external and locally into a format - kind of like your own personal Netflix - except it doesn't cost anything.
So with this box, you go out to google play store and choose the free app Kodi and let it install.
Kodi by itself is kind of like the old Napster or Limewire. Somewhere out in the ether - there are hundreds of video repositories that people are sharing and Kodi , given you know how to get to them wraps them up in a neat little bundle for you.
I have a zip file that contains the location of some of them - the file is called a mashup which is just a bucket of listings out there. By telling Kodi to look at this one zip file, I had 1,249 channels to choose from - movie pirate sites, porn, network channel DVR sites (no live television but a respository of everything that has been on TV in the last 3-7 days), international channels from just about every country, music, etc - basically if you look hard enough you can find whatever you want.
But I also ripped all of my DVD's into video format and I copied them onto a cheap 2 tb external usb hard drive that will hold about 300 720p format movies. I have people at work that are also into this and we copy movies over to increase our local library collection. They like mine because I have about 40 movies that they used to show at Drive -In's when I was a kid - titles like "Vacation with the babysitter" and "Teacher's Pet" - really bad poorly made T&A movies from our youth. At any rate, you tell Kodi that you have movies on this local hard drive, and it goes out, finds the IMDB information on them, downloads the movie poster, links to the movie trailer and other various information and creates a localized database of all your stuff.
Here is a screen shot from mine
and it lets you search for movies (where the usb wireless keyboard comes in handy)
and has a built in Android media player that has subtitles, surround sound and chapter skipping features
so adding up the costs
$35 for android streamer
$14 for wireless keyboard
$20 for 720p webcam
$79 for 2tb external hard drive
its about $150 for the setup - but with it they're getting about 300 local movies, access to more internet channels than they'll ever have time to watch, the ability to use Skype or some other video conferencing android based software and a quad core android processor that's on par with maybe a Samsung S3 to run apps (not compatible with some apps like ones that require GPS)
Its going to take me all the way up to Xmas to get my DVD collection ripped and copied over for them, but I think they will appreciate it.
I'm posting it here because if any of you are interested, I'd do it for you to since I'm kind of assembly mode.

Re: UCLA Bruins
I thought you would enjoy my diversity of movie options. It even does mainstream porn movies

Re: UCLA Bruins
I would have it configured,
setting up would be just plugging in the stuff to the usb ports and the HDMI to the TV

Re: UCLA Bruins
So 50 for the streamer and keyboard? If so I might know someone.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

Re: UCLA Bruins
I'm sure you've paid more than 50 for a steamer...
