    Lawn Sprinklers

    This is what you want http://www.leevalley.com/garden/page...280,33159&ap=1 It is a Perrot oscillating sprinkler, it'll be the last one you ever buy. The water doesn't go through the gear drive but goes around it to drive the motor. I've had mine for years and it still works like the day I...

    Dodge Caliber SXT

    I was looking at a black one on Friday and was quite surprised at how inexpensive they are. Didn't get to drive it though as it was straight off the truck. I take it yours is loaded? Do you have the CVT transmission and if so what's that feel like?

    Grey's Anatomy season 2 ongoing thread

    Just started watching this show back in December and I have to say I'm impressed. The writing for the most part is extremely good with story lines that hold your attention from show to show. The shots of Seattle at night in HD are stunning! This one is now on my series record list.

    Sirius taking away retail-level market shares from XM for past 3 months!

    I just can't believe that Stern is the cause. I could see NFL football starting and Sirius acquiring more subs because of that but Stern's listenership is dropping like a rock in most markets.

    Protecting Your HT Investment

    With my policy it's like jewelery, if you want anything more than basic coverage you have to supply receipts and purchase extra coverage. The cost of the extra coverage varies depending on if you want replacement cost or depreciated value for replacement. Most people in the face of a disaster...

    Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD error

    Contacted Warner Music directly and was told there was a recall on these discs and they thought they had got them all but obviously they missed at least one. They instructed me to send it back and they would replace it at no charge. Nice to find a company that stands behind their product with...

    Is this a pirated DVD?

    I purchased a DVD off of Ebay a few months back that turned out to be a pirated copy. I reported to Ebay and they suspended the sellers account right away. I also reported it to the manufacturer and they never even returned a phone call or e-mail regarding it. I was very surprised they don't...

    Let's talk Beer

    A couple of more that I didn't see listed yet; Spotted Cow Ale - New Glarus Brewing, New Glarus WI. From their website "Naturally cloudy, we allow the yeast to remain in the bottle to enhance fullness of flavors, which can not be duplicated otherwise." When I had my first one I thought that...

    I had similar problems a few years ago and while searching possible solutions I came across this website; http://jclement.ca/mirrors/humour/redneck_neighbour/ it is a long read but worth the time. It will put any problems you're having in a totally different light.

    Advice on a 50" widescreen TV for ~$3,000 ?

    One thing that you mention is "it's a fairly open room (ie: it opens right up to the kitchen and eating area)." This makes me think that a very good looking set is also a plus. This would make me lean a little bit more towards the GRAND WEGA as they are, in my opinion a beautiful looking set as...

    Table Saw Rip Fences

    What brand/size saw did you buy it for? I've been hunting for a good quality one for years but have always had an issue with prices, this looks pretty reasonable if the quality is there.

    Old School Early 80s Projectors

    I don't know of any sites but on the same note, I was out with a buddy a couple of weeks ago and we stopped by a friend of his house and the guy was still using one of these! He said he is always replacing something on it but he has two more in his garage for parts. It was weird walking in and...

    speakers caused discoloration on tv...

    In the same direction as the soldering iron, try using a blow dryer. It works on the same principal as the electromagnetic field created by the soldering gun. Have used it many times and works great. Just remember the monitor must be on for this to work.

    Do All Tosh RPTV's Do This?

    Normal??? How many other things do you spend $2K - $3K on that spontaneously turnoff when brand new and have parts that don't work right out of the box? I have had my 50H82 for 3 months now and have never experienced any problems with it. Warranty or not I would have a new set sitting in my ht...

    Can auto glass spontaneously explode?

    Now you got me. I never took into account the curvature of the glass so... not sure. Flat glass is what I was referring to before.

    Can auto glass spontaneously explode?

    FYI - If a window is broken by force the majority of the glass will end up on the side from which the force was applied. When force is applied to glass it flexs before it breaks, the actual breaking of the glass is caused when the glass is fighting to return to it's normal state and as such the...

    ISF in Saskatchewan Canada?

    Just so you know Robert, from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to Toronto, Ontario is 1383 miles. To San Francisco is only 1257 miles so you actually are closer, but I think I'll look to Calgary, Alberta (Only 360 miles approx.)Thanks.

    Toshiba 50H82 and "movie" setting

    I found the same thing when I first staring watching my 50H82 as well. Give the TV some time to break-in and you will start to see a difference. Now it seems to bright sometimes on the movie setting.

    Toshiba H82 vs. Hitachi 57UWX20B vs. Mits. 55411

    Spend a long time researching set's myself and ended up with the Toshiba. The mits was not available in my area so it was not an option. The toshiba has very good stretch modes as compared to any of the other sets that I saw. As well the hitachi just didn't seem to have the same crispness as the...

    New 50H82, WOW.

    The guy's who moved mine in used moving straps and didn't have any trouble (36" wide stairway down and around a corner to another 36" wide hallway)I've had the TV for just over a month now and it looks better now than when it was first set-up. As far as ISF calibration, nobody in my town even...

    Uh-Oh Broken pin in back of tv

    My wife was moving the new (2 weeks old) tv (50H82 toshiba) to dust (Who knows why but never again) and snapped off both center pins on the RCA audio output cables in the back of the tv. I was able to pull one out with a pair of forceps but the other one is buried. Is it safe to pull that panel...
