HBO just posted a new spoiler trailer for Made in America on their site here. Has anyone else noted that the finale is Episode 86 ... as in the Soprano's have been 86'ed. Who thinks we'll be treated to this song?
Tony: It's anyone's guess as to how the details could play out. I'm still trying to figure the "Made in America" reference, which has been said to be significant. Often the Ep titles have double meaning. Probably some type of a reference to becoming a made-[wo]man. I also briefly wondered if...
Another really intense Ep last night. I noted that HBO is premiering a new series next week "at 10 PM EDT after the Soprano's finale". Thus, the final ep is 1 hour. (but I'm setting my DVR for 2 anyway). I can see that David Chase has chosen to really use the last 3 eps (hours) for the finale...
I was listening to the HD Guys and their HDTV Podcast regularly ... but I must say that I grew bored with this one. For now, I 'm totally entertained by general Computer, Tech & Gadget news instead of home-theater specific. My current favorites are as follows (in order of preeference.) Buzz...
Even I consider this a stupid question ... and I'm the one asking it. Work just issued me a beautiful new Dell Latitude D420 widescreen ultraportable notebook (nice review & pics here). I love it. It has the same footprint as a sheet of paper (8.5 * 11) and is just about exactly 1" thick...
It was reported in the press release from Menu Foods that ... while they have not confirmed the exact cause, there is a correlation between symptomatic animals and food production coincident with the introduction of a "new ingredient source". The translation is that back around Dec-06, they...
I know I could count on the HTF ... some really great tips here. I"ve never heard of Suckers, but that one looks perfect. Also, someone else mentioned Cadillac Man & it happens to be running on HBO this weekend. Also remembering where Putty was selling a car to Jerry on Seinfeld ...
Working on a presentation for work & we want to incorporate some brief movie clips. What we are specifically looking for are funny scenes of car salesman (new or used) putting the hard sell on. We want examples of "good" salesman and "bad" salesman. Please suggest any movies / scenes that we...
To jump down to the next empty cell use ... (End)(down arrow). If you are in an empty cell this jumps to the next full cell. Also works with (up arrow), etc. As far as formatting text ... ctrl_U = underline, ctlr_B = bold, ctrl_I = italics. This is sames as MS Word. I dont believe there is a...
My son started with a beginner electric guitar last Jan. Following on recommendations from our local guitar shop, we got him the Digitech RP50 Guitar processor (pedal style). It has about 100 preset effects (pedal swithcable) and you can customize as many more as you want. The best part is...
Prices are dropping indeed ... Just this weekend, my local Best Buy sold me a new 55" SXRD for $2250. ($2500 sale price -10% coupon). Setup is Saturday ... cant wait!
Kyle ... Yes, I suspected this was going to be the case with FIOS (1 box per TV). Same as satellite. Does anyone really do this ... I'm running 7 TV's in my house right now for god sakes! The beauty of digital cable is that I can have 1 or 2 boxes on primary TV's and all the rest get plain...
No surprise, but prepare for a bit of a rant here .... First, some background ... In my area, Comcast and Verizon are headed for a war over market share. Verizon has installed FiOS in many local neighborhoods and the push is on to convert the customer base. They are offering free in-home...
About a month ago, I picked up a Dyson DC14 Animal (factory refirb) from amazon.com. The price was an amazing $350. This model is typically $550. This pretty much overcame the only negative I could find ... price. I will say that other than the plain brown box, you could never tell it was a...
Just watched ep 7.2 carefully. Grissoms discovery behind the miniature picture was a photo of 1/2 the face of a blue-eyed, Barbie doll. On the forehead of the doll appeared to be a blood smudge. I thinkthis was on the doll, not blood on the mini-photo, but very hard to be sure. It was strange...
According to c|net, The LG-VX8300 is the best rated overall cell phone available in the USA. I have the VX8100 (very similar) and I am 100% satisfied ... thought my corporate contract prohibits me from use of EVDO features. I do love the MP3 player built in & the 1.3 MP camera is superior to...
You should do a show dedicated to Tiki Drinks .... for starters, get some orangeat syrup and do The Original Traders Vics Mai Tai The Suffering Bastard
Bob ... I suggest you pick up the below book (available at Amazon for $10). It got me started and is written at the right level for a beginner who really wants to learn.
I LOVE my Canon Pixma MP780 all-in-one printer. It takes 5 ink carts (M,C,Y + 2 blacks) I buy my ink from abcink.com and I pay on average about $1.75 per cartridge. Quite a change from my experience with HP! Indeed, the printhead is separate from the carts, but the head can be replaced as...
Back to the tooth enamel .... about 8 years ago, I was a technical sales manager working with toothpaste mfrs. I worked with a guy, Tony Winston, mentioned in this article at a company called Enamelon (Cranbury, NJ) that had a very promising new technology using soluble calcuim that, over time...
Unfortunately ... I have lots of experience here. My driveway is 100' long asphalt. It has been destroyed by trucks twice. Typical asphalt driveways are 3" - 4" thick. They should be 4" minimum, but depending on the contractor, don't count on it. It is also common for new house construction...
Mark ... exact same observations as me. The EQ settings like Rock, etc., modify the actual signal so it is no longer a pure 17 kHz tone & thus most people can hear it. Now ... set your cell phone (LG VX-8100 by any chance?) MP3 on flat and play it for an 8 year old and tell us the reaction
Interesting ... I can hear it on my home PC, but not my work laptop. It seems the source you play it on may "adjust" the frequency. I copied the original above MP3 file to my cell phone (which plays MP3) and I CAN hear it with the EQ set for "Rock", "Pop" or "Jazz" ... however, with the EQ...
Two years ago, grieving after my alarm clock loss, I started this Alarm Clock Thread. Though I still occasionally recall my old friend, I have moved on. I am pretty happy with my new morning assistant ... shown below. The best part is that this one has the 5-2-7 feature, which lets you...
Back to the topic at hand ... I have similar troubles. Coffee is my life & I'm not quitting. 1) Go to the dentist for a thorough cleaning 2) Use the Rembrandt whitening strips ... really! I've tried them all ... I don't like the Crest whitestrips. The Rembrandt strips are more like wax...
The ultimate is the Original Trader Vic's Mai Tai. Read the fascinating history from Vic himself in this link As Vic Bergeron's orginal 17 yr old J. Wray Nephew dark Jamacian rum is no longer available, it is widely recommended to substitute equal portions of Myers Dark Jamaican Rum with...
I have stopped using Jiffy Lube after coming to the same conclusions here on the east coast. I have zero doubts that this is a chronic problem throughout the majority of JL's in the country. JL is one of the worst run businesses I've ever seen. The best thing that cold happen is that the media...
