Actually, the first Firmware update went pretty smooth - log onto site, downlosd file, execute file to export upgrade data to USB thumb drive; then just plug the thumb drive into the player and follow the onscreen instructions.

It is clear that my player has developed a non-firmware fault.

DR DERBRUCER - From the expediency of your customer service phone call, it sounds like there they might have be dealing with a "known issue".

Be sure to check out the audio samples of Love With The Proper Stranger and A Girl Named Tamiko - we made several of them longer than usual. I think I'll go back to bed for a little while.

I'm listening to these right now! Delightful!

SUSPECT IN COP KILLINGS WAS OUT ON STREET DESPITE LENGTHY RAP SHEET, SENTENCES

Quote

As the suspect in the ambush execution of four police officers remains on the run, questions are swirling as to how and why Maurice Clemmons — an ex-con who at one time faced more than 100 years behind bars — was allowed to live free.

Clemmons, 37, of Tacoma, Wash., has an extensive, violent criminal history marked by volatile and unstable behavior, according to court records and news reports.

His criminal history includes at least five felony convictions in Arkansas and at least eight felony charges in Washington, according to The Seattle Times. He had a lengthy prison sentence commuted in 2000 by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who cited Clemmons' youth.
…
Clemmons also had at least two confrontations with police earlier this year. During one incident in May, according to the Seattle Times, Clemmons punched a sheriff’s deputy in the face and was charged with seven counts of assault and malicious mischief. In another incident, Clemmons was accused of gathering his wife, Nicole Smith, and young relatives and forcing them to “be naked for at least 5 minutes,” according to a Pierce County sheriff’s report.

“The whole time Clemmons kept saying things like trust him, the world is going to end soon, and that he was Jesus,” the report reads.
As part of the child-rape investigation, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office interviewed Clemmons’ sister in May. She said her brother was “not in his right mind and did not know how he could react when contacted by law enforcement,” a report reads.

“She stated that he was saying that the Secret Service was coming to get him because he had written a letter to the President,” the report continued. “She stated his behavior has become unpredictable and erratic. She suspects he is having a mental breakdown.”

Other relatives said, according to the report, that Clemmons claimed he could fly and that he expected President Obama to visit him to “confirm that he is Messiah in the flesh.”

Clemmons was found competent to stand trial earlier this month on the child-rape and other felony charges by a psychologist at Western State Hospital, court records show.

Well, if JFK's favorite institution, Washington State Hospital, says it so - it must be so.

For readers new to the party, Washington State Hospital was where Frances Farmer was (mis?)treated.

Oh, yes indeed. Memorex has removed all support (or any reference whatsoever) for our model. You can no longer download the firmware update we needed to see "The Dark Knight". Other user boards have commented that Memorex knows they have a lemon on their hands and are replacing all returned players with later models.

Like you, I think their failure to refer me to a Tech Rep or to suggest any other possible TS options was a dead give away. (I did not rub it in).

No, DR der Brucer, I was a bad vicar's wife and went to Lima with my husband Saturday instead of staying home to decorate. We'll celebrate Advent Sunday here at home sometime this week.

Before going to lunch, I watched BROTHERS & SISTERS. Well, at least the pregnant-secret is now out in the open. Justin's failing grades didn't get mentioned.

I find that a completely ridiculous storyline, too. He's full of confidence that he "aced" his midterms, and he failed two, made D's on two others, and a C- on the last.

I don't know about anyone else, but I ALWAYS knew when I done well or poorly on an exam. The grade may have varied 5 points either way, especially if there were many/mostly essay questions, but never did I think I had "aced" something and ended up failing.

When I got in, I watched NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2. The delight with the concept is reduced, of course, wit this being a sequel, but they have gathered together an impressive number of improv comedians, and they're just allowed free reign. Hank Azaria is hilarious doing a Boris Karloff impression as an Egyptian almost-pharoah, and, of course, he shows off that incredible physique that he possesses. Bill Hader is also hysterical as General Custer. Amy Adams is gorgeous as Amelia Earheart, and she and Ben Stiller have wonderful rapport.

I sampled the two commentaries. Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant, the writers, had one that they chitchat through constantly while the director had his solo one (and he stops talking for long periods of time).

I also got the first behind-the-scenes featurette watched (30 minutes). There are many, many more to go.
