That's "S" words Mr. Connery. Sorry no help with the topic, but I after seeing the thread title, I couldn't help but think of that SNL sketch.

I'm just a lurker here, but I thought I would chime in. After a little motivation from "300" the movie, I decided to read "Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield. It's a fictional account of the Battle of Thermopylae. I recommend this book, but I don't know my history enough to say whether...

I get a sore back when I sleep on my stomach. I am 5'11 200lbs and 32yrs old. I am sure it is from being overweight, but find that if I sleep on my back I feel fine. The only problem is that my wife says I snore like a freight train, when I sleep on my back. So I have found that I can sleep on...

For anyone interested in doing this, I installed a Turtle Beach Riviera 5.1 sound card into my PC this weekend. I would post a link, but the site won't let me (I don't have enough posts.) I connected the optical out to an optical in on my receiver, and now all my MP3's are available through the...

Thanks for the input guys. I'm not sure which way I'm going to go yet, but if in the future anyone is interested, I will post what I wind up doing and how well/poor it sounds. Keith

I have a lot of MP3s on my PC that I would like to enjoy through my HT equipment, and I'm not really sure about the best way of doing this. My receiver is a Yamaha HTR-5490, and the PC runs Windows XP Home, but is not new and the processor speed is only 800Mhz. I believe that I can purchase...

I'd like to recommend Eucerin brand hand lotion. I am currently using the Dry Skin Therapy plus Intensive Repair Hand Creme. My knuckles used to develop cracks that would bleed in the winter. I put this on once a day, and my hands feel great. No greasy hands either.

I'm looking for some advice. I just bought a Samsung DVD-L200 portable DVD player for my one year old to watch during a 6 hour car trip. It comes with a power cord that would plug into an AC power outlet. This plugs into a power converter of some sort that has a DC connector that plugs into the...

I am also very interested to hear about possible solutions to this problem. I have the exact same situation that is compounded by a sump pump that empties into the backyard. The sump pump goes off A LOT during the spring, and never the rest of the year. Most people in my subdivision have the...

Thanks for the help Bob. I have since purchased the Advanced AV kit for the XBox and the video switching works perfectly with the SVideo. The sound and picture are great too! XBox with 5.1 is terrific, its nice to be able to use my equipment the right way. Thanks again.

I have just connected a DVD player, ReplayTV, and DirectTv to my Yamaha HTR-5490 a/v receiver. Everything works fine, but when I connect XBox to the front inputs on the receiver with composite video/audio cables, I don't get a picture on my TV (I only hear the game system thru the speakers). I...
