The best way is to get in front of people and just do it. Back in the day I belonged to Toastmasters, which is an excellent organization that provides you opportunities to improve your public speaking. I highly recommend this organization, especially to college students who want to improve...
For Sale: 1 Tributaries Direct Subwoofer Y cable, 3 meters (9.8 feet). Excellent condition. This cable has a single RCA connector at one end and a sturdy built-in Y-connector at the subwoofer end, so you won't need a Y-connector with it. MSRP $55, I offer it for $30 shipped to your door...
Tim, Thanks for your interest. Not sold yet. I've actually been looking at what it would cost to ship and I'm considering opening up that possibility. It would be nice to find a local buyer but I may start seriously looking at shipping. So DFW speaker buyers speak now or forever hold...
Thanks for the comments Rob, and you are right, this is a great price on these speakers. I took some shots of the 20s, at the following URL: http://dustin.davis.name/studio20/ Note the imperfections, which are hardly visible at all even at close distance with a bright light. The Studio 40s...
For sale: 1 pair Paradigm Reference Studio/40 v2 speakers, pristine condition Black ash with real wood side panels $450 negotiable 1 pair Paradigm Reference Studio/20 v2 speakers, great condition (minor scuff on rear of one speaker, not even visible from more than 2 feet away)...
If you are a fine-lead person, this Koh-i-noor pencil will smoke any of the aforementioned. I owned one for years and have missed it ever since I lost it. http://www.buyonlinenow.com/viewprod...3BC&source=ink The metal diamond grip is a masterpiece for long writing sessions, and the .3 mm...
I've had Cheesecake Factory several times and I have to agree that this is one of the most overrated restaurants in Dallas. The food is not above average at all. Not that flavorful, not that original, and certainly not worth a long wait. I wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes to eat at Cheesecake...
Maybe the Mits doublers have improved, but I know that my Panasonic RP-56 knocks the socks off the internal line doubler in my Mits WS-55819 (a couple years old). All for the incredibly outrageous price of $180.
If you're looking for one where everything doesn't go according to plan, I highly recommend A Simple Plan. It's not exactly a heist or con movie but close enough, and features a very nice performance by Billy Bob Thornton.
Trying to pick ones not already mentioned... The "moider" of Honora in
Heavenly Creatures. The death/resuscitation of Lindsey Brigman in
The Abyss. Wolfgang in
Amadeus. Though you never really see it, Lefty
in Donnie Brasco.
JeremySt, great example from Poltergeist, that scene gives me chills every time I watch it. One for me is the scene from The Others wher Nicole Kidman goes into the storage room with all the furniture covered in blankets. As she moves about the room she begins to hear faint voices that sound...
Well, I just watched the new Enigma DVD and I can say that the video issues appear to be fixed. Thanks CTHV for rectifying the situation and putting out a quality reissue.
I had a roommate who had a miniature Dachsund and the poor little guy went down in his back. It's apparently common among weiner dogs. He basically lost control of his function from half his back down, couldn't move his legs, etc. We took Hans in for surgery and the vet said that we don't...
I had that problem last night playing Ghost Recon and then it went away later on. I think it must have had something to do with the XBL service. I could sign in and get online, I could look at friends, and I could search for games online, but when I reached the point where it would try to...
I use a similar setup to Mark's. The XBox is on a wired network behind the Linksys Wireless Router, and then I use a Linksys USB 802.11 adapter to have my computer get on the network. Works great and the USB adapter is $80 cheaper than the WET11. I'm surprised more people don't mention this type...
FYI everybody, I got a Silent Assassin rating on this level even though I killed the limo driver. I don't think I got the silenced Ballers as a reward, so it must be the "no-kill" that gets you the reward and the rating is less important.
