    Which Orlando area theme park?

    I went to both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure on back-to-back days last September. It's definitely a good time of year to go. Of the two, I enjoyed Islands of Adventure more. I've ridden many rollercoasters in the past and have fared well; however, for the first time ever, I was...

    We refinished our Kitchen Cabinets (DIY style)

    Nice job Ron. If you don't mind me asking...how much did it set you back. My wife wants to "update" our kitchen. I'm totally against getting new cabinets as the current ones are perfectly fine and provide sufficient storing space. Our options are refacing or restaining. Obviously, restaining...

    Suggestions for a resort in the Mayan Riviera for my honeymoon

    Chris, We stayed at The Grand Palladium White Sands & Riviera Resort and Spa. The Grand Palladium has 4 resorts in the Mayan Riviera. The other two are the GP Colonial & Kantenah and are next to the White Sands and the Riveria. We stayed in the "Royal Suites" section which is adults only and...

    Suggestions for a resort in the Mayan Riviera for my honeymoon

    Add my vote for the Grand Palladium Resort & Spa. My wife and I were just there in March with 4 other couples (good friends). It was a group trip to celebrate our friend's 40th birthday. She had been through a lot in the past year, so we all thought this would help boost her spirits. We had an...

    Woman has quads 3 years after triplets...and they live in a 1 bedroom apt.

    I think she's referring to his Extreme Make-Over show where ABC and the show's crew come in and do a full make-over of someone's home. Sorry, I feel sympathetic for this family's now current situation, but there are hundreds of families that are way more deserving of this gift. It was this...

    Help Recommend a Workout Program for Me

    It varies from person to person. For me, my first 2 sets of the exercise usually stays the same (heavy enough so that I can get 8 reps). The last one I sometimes have to decrease since the muscles that are being worked are bit more fatigued and getting to the 6-8 rep range is a real struggle (I...

    Help Recommend a Workout Program for Me

    Chris, If building muscle is your goal at this point, stick to compound lifting exercises. Your schedule or routine will depend on the time that you can devote. My current weightlifting workout schedule looks like this, for example: Monday: Chest and triceps (push force) - flat bench...

    Opinions on Sony Sony KDS-R60XBR1 60" HDTV?

    This is a 1080p set. It can't accept 1080p material. It upconverts what you feed into it, i.e., 720p, 1080i, etc..., to 1080p.

    Will we ever see an add free society?

    Amen Holadem...if it weren't for ads: 1) I'd still be "Just doing it" instead of "Protecting this house"; 2) My wife would still be wearing boring lingerie and ho-hum undergarments instead of "stuff" from Victoria Secrets; 3) Even though I don't use the product, I wouldn't have been...

    Reception Help

    Here's a couple pics of the antenna mounted in the interior near the windshield (please excuse the dirty windshield): Pic1; Pic2; Pic3 Ron, I used a harness/kit that allowed me to incorprate the SkyFi2 with the OEM radio. With the auto on/off feature enabled on the SkyFi2, the unit turns...

    Reception Help

    I'm midway between Balto and DC and I'm using a SkyFi2 with the car kit in our Honda Pilot. I've got the antenna mounted in the center of the dash near the windshield. So far (knocking on wood), reception has not been a problem. I don't have the FM modulation problem because I've wired the...

    Excersise Equipment?

    Not entirely true. I work out alone and have a power rack with safety bars. The safety bars have come into play many times when I couldn't finish out a rep and didn't have enough left to re-rack the bar. I'm in the other camp...I love working with free weights. I recently used a fitness facility...

    Having fun in the snow?

    I'm half way between Balto and DC. Got 18" here. Columbia, MD got 21". After I cleaned off our driveway, Me and the neighborhood kids got into a wicked snowball fight. We then built a ramp at the bottom of our neighborhood hill. Nearly snapped my spine in half my first run down. :)

    Joined the gym

    Brandon, I had reconstructive ACL knee surgery on my right knee in 1995. I went with my own (autologous) patella tendon. The rehab was brutal, but here I am 10+ years later, still active as I possibly can. I run on a treadmill approximately 3-4 times per week @ 3+ miles, 30-minute sessions. I...

    Joined the gym

    I'm with John on this one. It depends on the individual. I was a gym member in my youth, but as time marched on, my needs and lifestyle changed. Responsibilities grew, my family grew, time shrank. Going to the gym became, for lack of a better term, inconvenient, and as a result, my trips to...

    Joined the gym

    Ron, Good going. No matter where you go for your workout, the bottom line is that you're working out and exercising. I did the same thing by promising that I had to change and turn over a new leaf. Three years later, here I am still going strong. Granted I had times within the past three...

    NCAA Football 2005 Season

    Official play-by-play of the bizarre ending: Henne pass to Avant, lateral to Breaston, lateral to Hart, lateral to Avant, lateral to Manningham, lateral to Avant, lateral to Bihl, Bihl fumbled, Hart recovered, lateral to Ecker, Ecker ran out at Nebraska 13.

    NCAA Football 2005 Season

    It starts from the top Scott. As much as I respect Lloyd Carr because he's been around for a long time, I think he's become a mediocre head coach at most. When a team falls into a pattern of failing to "rise to the occassion" in critical situations whether it's on offense or defense, and they...

    Forbes List of the Top 20 Greatest Individual Sporting Achievements

    Like Nils said, a list like this will always drum up some controversy. Here's a couple more that I think are worthy to be on this list: Cal Ripken's longest consecutive-games played streak in baseball history (2,632 games). Ripken didn't win anything, but it was certainly a great...

    #*@X&$ !! daylight savings time got me again!

    I loved the time change. I was out late Saturday night, so the extra hour helped with the recovery-phase Sunday morning. ;) First time in a long time that it worked out in my favor...go me!!! (gives self high five)

    Better football seats?

    I totally agree. Your entire perspective of the game changes when you go see it live. You think these guys look fast on TV...check them out live.

    NCAA Football 2005 Season

    Ditto...:) How about the brain fart by the Spartans' coaching staff on the blocked FG attempt right before the half? John L. blew a gasket on the way into the lockerroom.

    NCAA Football 2005 Season

    That was one crazy football game. Reggie Bush carried USC yesterday, but Lienart showed why he's pro material. He's the Tom Brady of college football right now. That catch and throw on 4th & 9 for 61-yards was clutch. The Domers left too much time on the clock for Lienart and company. It would...

    I Reloaded Windows- I Need Help... Please!

    My 3-month old Dell didn't come with a "Resource" disk or WinXP O/S either. However, Dell is cutting costs by including these things on a separate partition of the HDD. You have to burn it to a disk yourself prior to formatting the HDD. Once you format the hard disk, you're hosed.
