I plan on buying a 5 disc progressive scan dvd player that will also work as my cd player. I will run the video straight to the TV(component ready) and the sound through the receiver. Should I just connect the sound into, for example, optical input 1, and use that input for both DVD sound and...

I have the onkyo 500 and have enjoyed it along with the nsp1's. However, when I did the initial calibration with my handy dandy spl meter, I thought they would stay like that. After I turned off the receiver and turned it back on, I assumed it would automatically go back to the calibrated...

David If I am the only dentist here then I feel I must oblige. First, which tooth is it. There is a big difference between a molar and a premolar as far as what to put on. Porcelain Advantages: esthetic, wear resistant Porcelain disadvantages: Overall fit (may have gaps that may enable...

That was funny. most of those were daily situations I've experienced in some form or another, well, except for the dog being hit and the bicyclist being run over. :D

Hot and spicy V8 is not good in my opinion. I drink regular V8 this way: 1 Tsp Red Hot sauce Pinch of salt Ground black pepper Ground white pepper Hell if you add horseradish , worcester sauce, and vodka, you got yourself a fine bloody mary Without extra spices, the V8 is a little...

Even though the G35 seems to be the same car with more space inside, I don't need that space. I already have a passat. I will buy this car purely for a performance stand point. Tim, do you have more info on that turbo model? JL

Avitevet, You are probably right. However, the 911 scored .90g on the roadholding test whereas the 350Z scored .88g, which is pretty damn close. While I agree with you that the Porsche should be more fun to drive, I believe (from what I have read) that the Z comes very close as well. Not...

Michael, sorry to hear about that. Unfortunately, you're not the only one. As I said before, all the 90 day guys here were extended. It just really sucks that you have to stay in that heat longer. Hang in there buddy. It'll make coming home that much sweeter. JL

Michael, If you go the nissan website, they have pictures of that new SUV http://www.nissandriven.com/vehicles...,22923,00.html BTW, I don't like convertibles, so I'll stay with the current model ;) JL

I am a firm believer that german engineering is the best out there. This is why all my cars have been german made. But ever since the 300Z came out in the late 80's, I really thought that car looked cool and at the time, was revolutionary. Fast forward some 13 years later, and out comes the...

My wife has managed to break , one by one, all the glasses (18 of them)in the kitchen, by dropping them inadvertently in the sink over a 2 year period. That's almost 1 glass every 2 months. I love her to death. :)

I found it at amazon.com/uk. I'll probably order it and send it to my mom in Paris, who will send it to me. Either that or send to my friend's parents in london. either way, i'm getting a hold of this gem of a show :emoji_thumbsup: JL

Dean, you said family guy was available on DVD in other regions. Could you specify? I have a codefree DVD player so I can play all regions. Man I would love to get my hands on that. :emoji_thumbsup:

I sedate patients on a weekly basis, but not to the extent of Tony. I remove wisdom teeth, so most of my patients want to be "asleep" when doing it. I use a combination of drugs. The most widely used combo in dentistry is Versed and Fentanyl. Versed is the same family as valium, and Fentanyl is...

Michael, It will be very hard coming back to the states where I will have no gardener and no maid. We do live well here. My wife and I are thinking of extending 1 year. Hell, the tax break is incentive enough. We're managing to put away a fair amount of money. Sadly, only a tiny portion of...
