    SBS-01 or Ascend speaker setup?

    Woops, meant to put this in the speakers section. But I guess it would be a good time to ask what receiver would work well for these in the 500-600 price range.

    SBS-01 or Ascend speaker setup?

    I'm looking for a new speaker setup (haven't chosen a receiver yet either). If you had to choose between the SVS SBS-01 system or Ascend (2x CBM-170, 2x HTM-200, CMT 340c), which would you choose? I know the Ascend's wouldn't come with a subwoofer, but since I live in a townhouse that shares...

    Will TVs be cheaper after the holidays?

    Having no experience in TV shopping, do most places offer their better deals before xmas, or after xmas/new years (to clear room for next years models)??? I'm looking to buy a TV and don't particularly need it before the new year. I'm looking at the JVC HD-ILA 52" or 56", my local store has...

    Confused about how I'm going to be wiring this.

    It would have to be a pretty big picture difference for me to invest $300 on a switch. What about receivers? Would this be a good way to go? Getting a receiver that can take all sorts of inputs and put them on one DVI/HDMI to the TV.

    Surround sound with couch against the back wall.

    The way my viewing room is setup is the TV is on one side of the room and the couch sits against the wall on the other side. Is it even worth it to get a 5.1 speaker setup? Would having the surround speakers on opposite ends of the couch facing toward the center of the couch sound ok, or...

    Big Fish Photo

    If you follow the second link Todd posted there are some interesting posts. Apparently the fish was caught in a river in Italy. They also seem to be somewhat common (maybe not common, but not as rare as I would of thought). Check out these other ones...

    Online Poker

    Nice job Mike, almost the same as me. I just broke the $2100 mark today. Ya, I'd also like to know what limits you play (so I can aviod ya ;) ). I mainly play 2-3 tables of $25 NL. I jumped up to the $50 tables for a couple weeks, but found the profits are more steady at the lower levels due...

    Online Poker

    The bigger sites do a pretty good job tracking for collusion. Monitoring people who join the same tables on a more than regular basis. Thats not to say it never happens. However 9 friends joining the table would make no sense, they would win very little money especially since every winning pot...

    The Village (2004)

    I thought this was a pretty good movie, as did the group of people I went with. (None of us knew anything about the movie coming into it, so the ending wasn't spoiled) Some random points: 1. I also do not think he was sacrificing Ivy by letting her go into the woods. He sent the two guides...

    Online Poker

    Bad beats are a good thing. It means some idiot is following you with little chance to win. Statistically he will lose in the long run (thats why its called a bad beat) and you will win his money. There are thousands of these players on partypoker making playing there very profitable. I had...

    Online Poker

    I used to think this as well. But you'll slowly come to the realization thats just poker. It happens in live poker, it happens online. You notice it alot more because online you are dealt almost 3 hands in the time it takes 1 in live play. KK being beat by AJ is not crazy. In fact KK will win...

    New, Low-Carb Coke

    You can still buy Coke made with cane sugar. They only produce it around passover though (because corn syrup is not kosher?). Its not marked in any way shape or form other than the tops of the 2-liters are yellow instead of the regular color. Its also has a small UP symbol right in the middle...

    New, Low-Carb Coke

    To me it basically tastes like a mix between normal and diet coke. I drink normal coke religiously and can't stand diet coke, so my taste buds may be a little skewed. Either way its about the middle of the road between the two (you can taste hints of both).

    Anybody play Online poker?

    Technically you're suppose to report all gambling winnings. However since these are off-shore companies, the IRS has no way of getting their records, so people find ways to get around reporting it. With 80k, a large chunk of that would go to the IRS, which would be a huge risk to conceal but...

    Anybody play Online poker?

    I started playing PartyPoker about 3 months ago. I bought in for an original $100 and got the $20 sign-in bonus. So far i've gotten that up to $550 and can win pretty steadily (damn college cutting into my play time). I usually play limit poker, either $.5/$1 tables or sometimes the $1/$2...

    ***Official SUPER SIZE ME Discussion Thread

    One thing I never understood is why people care enough about people getting fat that they would write a movie/book about it. I could understand if you are trying to educate them, but I think its safe to say everyone knows what fastfood does to your body. If they're happy eating McDonald's...
