OK, can someone help me with this? Forgive me my ignorance. I want to get a separate basic 2 channel receiver (

Hello, Steve. The heavier you are the more calories you burn... Here is an article with a chart of calories burned for different activities/different weight: Calories Chart Here is a link to a calorie calculator based on time of activities (this is based on a 150 pound person): Calorie...

I spoke with a tech of WCTV Tuesday at a lunch; he said due to a number of things WCTV will not go HD until NEXT YEAR!!! :angry: Reasons were: they were in negotiations with GPTV to broadcast with them, but GPTV just pulled out of the deal, and they just purchased the WTXL site across from...

No problems on my RP-82 or on my Dell laptop. Having never seen this before I picked it up for $12 a few months ago for my 17 and 14 year old. What a fun movie!

No inserts? What a lousy way to save a buck. OK, thanks, Rob.

My copy from Best Buy ($12.99) didn't have an insert with a chapter index; it only had a coupon. Did anybody get an insert with a chapter index???? (Haven't watched it yet as I had a meeting all night last night)

I don't think you'll make it to Key West. That is way down there (160 miles from Miami)! Key Largo, perhaps. There is a lot to do in Miami, but you said small children, so their ages will really determine what you can do. If you are in to snorkeling check out Pennekamp underwater park. You...

Gift certificate at a favorite restaurant so he can take his girlfriend? (Oops; my bad. I see you got him something)

We had to put our mini down a little over a year ago (he was just shy of his 16th birthday). Stetson was born in July, 1986, my daughter in August, 1986, and we picked him up September, 1986. When he was about 2 we had our son, so essentially there was an infant around in his formative years...

I think all decent players will play either +R or -R; I burned a soccer highlight dvd for my son's soccer team on my PC in +R and no one on the team had a problem with their dvd player being able to read it (even those with players costing less than US $100). My Panasonic RP82 can read it with...

I think you should look at a used car and save the $$ for a house. I bet you could get a good used Honda or Toyota to meet your needs. Get the April Auto issue of Consumer Reports; they'll list used cars to avoid and give you recommended cars in your price range. Also go to Edmunds as they have...

Initial Disclaimer: I don't like Mike, don't trust him, think he is a loser, etc. There was an interesting discussion of this last night on Rick Ballou's national call in sports talk show. As a guest he had an attorney/author who wrote a book about Tyson's rape trial and conviction (I think...

Title insurance costs are state regulated and depend on the cost of the house and/or the amount of the loan. As a buyer you don't have to get title insurance insuring your ownership interest (i.e., protection in case there is an adverse title matter), but your lender will require title insurance...

Thanks for the laughs! :laugh:

I have gotten 2 loans from e-loan, both very easy experiences. What they are is actually a broker shopping the loans to lending institutions. Hence, my first loan was with Bank of America and the second (current one) was/is Compass Bank. They sent the loan package by express carrier, along with...
