Beijing Olympics, Some Electrical Tweaking & War in Georgia?

The Olympic Games in Beijing officially opened.

I connected the sound output of the DVD player to the CD player’s auxiliary input so sound comes out from the CD player speakers, achieving much better experience than with small TV speakers. Why have I not done so much earlier?? It required only a little tweaking of electrical cords. Now, I don’t need to wear earpieces to enjoy DVDs, music or movies.

The first DVD disc I’m playing now is Giuseppe Verdi’s “Messa da Requiem” by Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala, Coro del Teatro alla Scala, Leontyne Price (soprano), Fiorenza Cossotto (mezzo-soprano), Luciano Pavarotti (tenor), Nicolai Ghiaurov (bass) and Herbert von Karajan (conductor, artistic supervisor), recorded in Milan in 1967.
