Scott- Thanks for the kind words. None of the B&W pics were converted from color shots. They were all shot using the manual settings in B&W mode on my Canon S3 IS. I did do a tad bit of post processing with the supplied Canon software, mostly a few tweaks to the contrast and brightness...
Thanks Don The little Canon S3 takes some pretty good pics. I'm hoping to get a 40D sometime in the near future so I can really go to town. I'll see if I can get some more uploaded to share with you guys on here.
Well first and foremost, let me let loose my utter joy in the fact that someone just gave me a pair of Boston Acousics for absolutely free. I'm not sure why anyone would do such a thing, especially someone that they just met, but nevertheless, I am the proud new owner of a pair of near mint...
Thanks for the help everyone. My real concern was since the 16-46's overall response is lower than the other two, I might run into some problems with the 602's bottoming out as a result of having them crossed over a bit lower than I would with the 20-39 or 25-31. I don't want to sacrifice...
"I expect and want to see heavily weighted opinions in my thread as to what is the best for me. You guys are the experts. " That's just the thing, what's best for us, may not be the best for you. The only way to really know for sure is to listen to as many different speakers as you can. Also...
Although it can be greatly beneficial to get input from reading reviews, I personally think that it's far more important to listen to speakers in person before you buy them. Not everyone has the same tastes, and what sounds good to one person might not sound the greatest to the next guy...
Hey all, I was wondering if any of you had a setup consisting of an SVS 16-46 and B&W 602's for the mains. I'm curious how well the 602's blend in with the 16-46. Basically I'd like to know if any of you have had any problems getting the smaller 602's to blend in with the sub vs. using the...
I'm going to be picking up a new TV here in the next couple of weeks and have narrowed down my choices to either the 61" 720p JVC or 61" 720p Sammy. I've looked at both and have not experienced any of the negative "effects" associated with either technology and I honestly can't tell much of a...
I'd also recommend anything from Surefire. I'd suggest the G2 for $34.00. It's really bright, fairly small, and has a dual on/off switch which is a really handy feature. The batteries are expensive though.
I make my own on a semi regular basis and sell it for $20/lb. I got the recipe from a friend of mine who used to make gobs of it to sell. Everyone always says it's the best they've ever had, hands down. Depending on the price of meat and whether or not I can get the liquids for the...
After 4 years I'm finally getting around to putting together another Home Theater. I've decided on B&W mains, center and surrounds, a SVS sub, and either a Rotel or Denon reciever. The problem I'm having right now is deciding which combination I should go with. Combo A: DM604 mains, LCR600...
I have spyware on my system from a company called "i-lookup" that I can't get rid of. I've tried different spyware removal programs and haven't had any success removing it. Although the software detects it and supposedly removes it, it still seems to be there. It changes my homepage to their...
I too am looking forward to visiting the store when it opens. I love to go to Benchmark and just "look around". Randy, Where exactly is the new Ultimate Electronics store going to be?
The scene in Close Encounters when Richard Dreyfuss is in his truck at the railroad crossing still gives me the heebie jeebies. Also, the scene where the little boy gets taken from the house.
This isn't a recipe, but I've found that the dirtier the oil gets, the better the food is. I know that sounds kind of gross, but for some reason the leftover food particles in the oil help to flavor the food. What kind of fryer did you get? Is it a basket type fryer with the fry basket that...
A half inch per year? Yikes!!!! I guess that's better than nothing. At this point, I'd be happy just to get rid of that weird feeling of having a golf ball under my toes.
Right now I'm at a loss as far as what to do. This is the 4th or 5th time that I've had a problem with the same disc. Sometimes it's manageable, other times it puts me down for a few weeks at a time. This time around it is more severe than in the past. I've lost a lot of feeling in my right leg...
Thanks for the personal accounts everyone. If I do go ahead with it, it will be a few months down the road. That should allow me plenty of time to find out what the best course of action is in my particular case.
Glenn, If you don't mind me asking, what exactly was the problem? Were the discs herniated(bulging) or ruptured? Have you had any problems or complications from the surgery? Sorry about all the questions. I'm trying to find out as much as I can about this before I take the plunge as well...
