And it appears that it might briefly reach Cat 5 status before landfall. I don't know how it compares size wise to Katrina but Gustav really doesn't look like it will mess around when it hits Louisiana as the storm track really seems to be aiming that way. It is great to see mandatory...
Friday night a drunk friend destroyed the glass on my first gen iPhone so this morning he stepped up and paid me for a new one. I went down at lunch and ordered a 8 gig model since I'm fully anticipating a larger on in the near future and didn't want to pay 100 bucks for 8 gigs. So I've got a...
I've recently been introduced to the relaxing pleasure of cigars. I was skeptical on how relaxing a cigar could actually be until this non smoker fired one up with my cigar smoking friends. I really enjoy a mild to medium cigar right now since I'm really starting to develop my taste and get...
For profit? Here is my concept that I'd like to do: I live in a smallish town that really lacks in quality entertainment. Outside of the mall theater which only runs first run Hollywood CGI fests it is hard to see a foreign or classic movie here. I want to show Kurosawa movies, Hitchcock...
I don't have a cell phone, never have but am finding a need for one. Not a pressing need but it would be handy to have. If I get one it seems that the Iphone would do everything I need and is a stunning device. However at this point I am wondering if I should wait for the second incarnation...
I just purchased a bottle of The Source hot sauce. 7.1 million on the Scoville scale and plan on bringing it to work to see who will try it. Now this is a group of people who brought a shock collar to work yesterday to see who could hold it to their neck on the highest setting. One guy got...
I just brewed a pot of Millstone Foglifter coffee and when I went to remove the filter full of grounds there were two white looking worms about a half inch long in there. I'm under the impression this isn't normal for this brand....is it?!?!?!
I read another thread here that touched on this a bit but is there really a significant difference between the brightness of the lamps vs. the new LEDs in projected TVs? I'm considering my first HDTV purchase and am in the early research stages. I'd like to get the whole set up and be HD...
well my drinking buds all have developed a taste for Scotch and while I'm a tequila guy I'd like to experiment and see what they like about scotch. However I'm not ready as of yet to go ignorant into a liquor store and just buy any bottle, I want to educate myself a bit first hence the post...
I know that Itunes 7 is incompatible with Vista64 so I need to come up with some kind of software replacement to put files on my new Ipod. I have done some research but I'd like some opinions on what to use. Thanks for your help in advance:)
While spending some time on You Tube today I have to wonder how in the world some of these clips have hot tens of thousands if not more views while some that are pretty good have few views. What I did notice was that the ones that have more hits in general are the ones with more episodes and...
This isn't one of my favorite shows and when visiting Amazon today I noticed the price was STILL very high after the release. I would like to get this show but out of the whole ST franchise it probably ranks as my fourth favorite show but NOT at the still high prices. I'd like to give the...
I'm not a fan of a merger. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...701750_pf.html I don't think it would benefit subscribers of either service although it probably would benefit both companies. I like the competition between the companies and hope that it keeps the monthly costs down...
A few friends and myself are doing an internet show where we test three drinks per episode and rate them. We have shot the third episode and will be shooting the fourth this coming Saturday. Unique drinks are appreciated and make the testing fun!
I'm curious as to how people see good deeds after hearing a country song called Chain of Love. Have you ever done something good for someone and it comes back to you or have you ever done a good deed and it completely backfire on you and make things way worse than before? Personally I...
What has the Scifi channel become? It has been going way downhill for some time but come on?!?!?! The Scifi channel was once a great channel with a ton of potential with the exclusives like Ghost Hunters, Tripping the Rift, and a handful of others but come on, wrestling now? My opinion...
I've read several places on the web where you can add 1.5 to 2.0 ounces per 10 gallons of diesel fuel to add mileage to your driving dollar. However I recently saw on Mythbusters where they busted Acetone in gasoline, they did not try acetone in diesel. So I am asking if anyone out there...
They are hard to come by. I've done a little research but really can't find a brand that has developed drivers for XP64. I really need a new printer since my Dell won't function with my new OS.
About a week ago, maybe two weeks I came home to find my back door open and my cats outside. They are inside cats so I was alarmed but they came right in. I looked around and found about 8 DVS missing. They were John Wayne movies and my Mission Hill set. Odd selections since there were about...
After seeing Audition and Oldboy I have a growing interest in Asian thrillers. I've seen the Ringus and Ju-Ons (and the horrible remakes), etc. so I'm looking for something fresh.
I'm a naturally philosophical person and ask a lot of questions. Here is one that has puzzled me for years because I don't know what I would do, I really don't. If you could know 100% accurately, without fail or flaw a "Yes" or "No" answer to any question, past, present, or future....would...
I'm talking about single locations like Rope, Rear Window or Arsenic and Old Lace. Not really Friday the 13 where the location is Crystal Lake:) The main reason is I'm doing research for a new film and have run out of original ideas. I'm hoping that something ignites the creative juices...
Admins, please lock this if you feel it is inappropriate. However if it is a good thread could anyone who drinks Pepsi/Mt. Dew please PM me your unused codes. I'm collecting caps from work for the Every 10 Minutes drawing. If there I win before the deadline I'll donate all unused caps to...
I have sent my film to about ten film festivals so far and have been thinking who else should I send my film to? I have been thinking about sending it to the filmmakers who have inspired me even though I know they would probably throw it away. I have considered the smaller studios like...
A massive solar flare is heading towards Earth after a huge X-class (The largest class) explosion. There is a picture with the Earth used as scale to show how big it really is. So now I'm wondering if this is something that can fry satellites and take out my newly purchased Sirius radio...
Or does anyone think that one will engulf the other? It seems that there is plenty of market to go around, probably more than just two services can handle, but if you look back at the satellite mini dish revolution, there were plenty of services to choose from and now I believe only two...
After reading about this film (but not seeing it for myself) I understand that this movie will be very gritty, dark, and violent. It will also actually carry an R rating, which is getting rare for horror movies in today's market. I have a hope that this will start a trend for marketing...
After much debate, reading many sites, and lots of advice I bought a Sirius boombox with two antenna extensions for work. FM reception really really sucks in our workplace so the problem we had to overcome was trying to get a antenna outside which we solved with the extensions and some going...
This guy is hilarious! Anyone who knows about the Atari 2600, loves being a nerd, watched Airwolf, or revels in the culture of pop....Ernest Cline is your spokesman!
