...this sounds too perplexing, you can take the easy way out. The drives at WeaKnees.com - although pricey at $159 for 80 gigabytes, all the way up to $449 for 320 gigabytes - come with the software installed, all the equipment you'll need to wrench open your TiVo, and blessedly lucid instructions. I took longer than the estimated half an hour to finish the job but only because I have a hard time remembering which way you turn a screw to loosen it (lefty-loosey, righty-tighty, just in case you're wondering). If you're similarly home-improvement challenged, WeaKnees...
Pappin’s article is also an example of what I call The Paradox of The Salient. Every piece in The Salient is written as though it alone clarified an issue previously obscured by all other debate. And yet the vast majority of articles are about as lucid as postmodern social theory written in old German.

The film begins from Tautou’s perspective, charting her imagined affair with a French cardiologist, before it replays the same events from the cardiologist’s more lucid viewpoint. What emerges from thismultiple-perspective tale is a study of romantic delusion that owes more to Rashomon than to the latest Sandra Bullock product. He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not screens...
Although Peter was finally getting treatment, the future seemed scarier than ever. Velma recalls one particularly poignant and lucid conversation at the hospital, in which her son wondered, "Is this it? Does this mean my life's over and I'll never do anything again?" Because Peter was an adult--and hadn't signed away his right to privacy--the hospital staff didn't tell his parents much about his condition. They had little idea what they were dealing with or what was to come...
