    Ballard's search for Titanic a cover-up

    You must not have seen the recent re-make of the Andromeda Strain where the future us sent back a message via a worm hole saying that those vent and nodules contain the only antidote to this virus :) Laters, Jeff

    Question for any of our English residents or frequent visitors?...

    Ok yes I was talking about prices as the "tourist" places but I don't think I said the pricing was out of line. As tourist new to an area with limited time you are not going to going hiking around the city for a sandwich shop. Most people will take what is convenient and yes you will pay more...

    Question for any of our English residents or frequent visitors?...

    I have been to London several times. I would second the Westminster Abby and Tower of London suggestions. I think that you could skip the changing of the guards, while neat and all I don't think it is the best bang for your buck time wise. If you are going to go to the Natural History Museum...

    I've just taken my first step into a much larger world...

    Congratulations on entering the world of HD DVD! I give demos all the time with my system to people interested in HD DVD or HD programming. The one consistent oddity that I have found is that when you first display the HD picture people may not be that impressed. However I let the HD material...

    Stone pizza oven insert for gas BBQ - will it work?

    I have used a regular pizza stone in my gas grill with great success. If you want to add a smoky flavor use one of those smoke boxes for gas grills in there. Personally I like the flavor without the added smoke. Laters, Jeff

    Big Brother 8 Discussion Thread

    The expression on poor Dustin's face was priceless. I wonder if Dick will feel as brilliant as he does now when he finds out that Eric had to take the deal because we made him, not because Dick is such a great persuader :) This should be an interesting week. It will also be interesting to see...

    Dogs fighting - please help

    I am not sure how this would help in your situation but here goes. My dog was a stray and very independent when I got her. It took being leashed to me whenever I was in the house for about 4 days to break her of this. Basically I have a leash that I would clip to myself. This forces the dog to...

    Big Brother 8 Discussion Thread

    From the feeds it looks like BB helped out Eric by claiming he was sick and had to be in quarantine for about a day and half. Also allowed him several multiple hour DR sessions Since it seems like America is trying to get Eric in trouble who do you think we are going to make him vote to...

    Big Brother 8 Discussion Thread

    Well now we know why everyone was pissed at Dustin. I don't blame him though. He had four people on his to put on the block so who cares which one of the four it is. I agree with Evil that Jen threw the competion and blocked someone else from answering the last question because of her deal...

    Ever stumble into movie history?

He has limited use of his hands, is deaf, and has very limited speech ability as a result of the stroke. Otherwise he is completely mobile and can he can still read (and comprehend what...

    Pet Food Recall

    I just spent $1400 last week on my dog because of a liver infection (visible jaundice in the eyes, ears, and gums and blood test indicators). I am not sure if this is related or not. I did give her a "treat" of 1/4 of the Iams pouch food before this happened. I know that they are saying it...

    After almost a year, still glad to be sitting out format war

    I have an A1 (HD-DVD) and the HD material is outstanding. That being said I am not limiting myself to HD material only. I still purchase plenty of SD titles as well. The nice thing about the A1 is that it does a wonderful job of upconverting the SD titles so really it is the best of both worlds...

    OFFICIAL HTF REVIEW: PANASONIC PT-AX100U 720p FRONT PROJECTOR

    I have this projector and it has worked great for me so far. Nice to know Steve can work on this as he has ISF'd all my TV's so far. That is a nice bonus. One other feature that is fantastic is that this projector is able to use all of it's scaling modes on HD signals over both HDMI and...

    First Time with Prescription Glasses... Yowza!

    Just keep wearing the glasses, your brain will figure it all out. I just got my first pair of glasses this summer as well. I had a lot of weird effects at first but after about 3 weeks all was good. Just keep them on. Laters, Jeff

    Painting

    Having just finished painting a couple of rooms in my house (which was the first time I had ever done any major painting) here are my suggestions: 1) Clean, clean, clean the walls 2) Do not skimp on the quality of brush and roller that you purchase. Yes get the $16 brush and $7 dollar roller...

    A Few Words About Coming in November on HD-DVD...

    Someone over at the HD-DVD camp is actually thinking. By releasing a lot of the classics they are winning over the true cinema buffs and building a loyal following. Additionally they are driving HD-DVD sales higher using this strategy. How many early adopters would re-purchase average movies...
