    Small(ish) multipurpose amp for outdoor application

    I apologize, I should have probably been a bit more detailed... Lol There will be multiple places around the farm where we want outdoor music. Only a few of them will require Bluetooth - for example one that is stationed a a picnic table where kids attending riding camp can use during lunch...

    Small(ish) multipurpose amp for outdoor application

    Yes the case is vented, I just added the link as an example - they customize those enclosures (for a cost of course.. lol) I would say $200 would be the max I could spend per amp, so I am willing to consider other options than Pyle if there are any in that range?

    It looks like the smallest one with an HDMI input on the B & H web site is 15 inches? Greg, that one looks perfect but it is $75 more than the 15 inch colby (ie, the smallest with HDMI input that I've found) on amazon.. maybe because it's a touchscreen? Thanks guys! I'm still looking for...

    Digital Video camera recommendations?

    I'm looking for our first DV camera. It will be mostly used for our kids sporting events and the like, so I'd like it to be good for outdoor video. Price range of $500 or so. What should I be looking for? Thanks! Mike

    Good websites showing golf swing form?

    My new job reqires me to get more serious about golf. I've just been a 1-2 times a year player, although I take my kids to a family-oriented driving range probably once a week or so in the summer. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could point me to good websites with demos of proper swing form...

    Adding brightness to a mpg file?

    Do you have windows XP, with Windows Movie Maker? Might be a cheap (free) way to do it there.. I've used it a lot, lots of cool special effects you can apply to kids movies, I'm sure "brighten" is probably one! :-)
