The first album I ever bought was "Glad All Over". Before that I had bought just a couple of 45's. Time marches on I guess. In too short a time the 60's musicians will be gone, all that will remain will be the recordings. [:'(]

One of the original bad boys of rock . . .

They are bad luck, or so they say. Some people won't take them.
"If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all..."Please send me all your $2 bills [

This is a pretty nice website with a lot of pictures, manuals, and other info on old power tools...

I see Kansas State as the most likely candidate...
Hopefully my son's school (TCU) will have something to say about that . . . [

Happy Halloween...
(CBS News) Superstorm Sandy overwhelmed sewer systems, pouring tens of millions of gallons of raw sewage into waterways along the East Coast. Health departments in several states are now warning residents about tap water . . .

.... Our family's first stereo came around 1967 in the form of a Panasonic RE-7070 - 8 Track AM FM Stereo . . .
I personally had a Panasonic that looked just like that as a teenager. I'm not sure about the model number though.
The first Stereo my family had was made by Columbia. We probably got it sometime around 1960ish. It was two large matching cabinets, I would say about 26" wide by 36" tall by 18" deep. The cabinet tops hinged open, one cabinet had the turntable inside and the controls, the other cabinet had storage for records in the top. The cabinet with the turntable had a tube amp mounted at the bottom near the floor. Both cabinets were open at the back, and each had about 5 or 6 speakers mounted on the front baffle. The largest was probably about a 12". In the period from about 1964 to 1970 all the kids in the neighborhood used to come over to my house to listen whenever a new and exciting album came out. Most memorable was "Are You Experienced?". It seems that my parents weren't home when someone brought that over.. I'm sure the neighbors heard it too . . . [6]
I wish I could find a picture of that old Columbia . . .

Can you believe that call? Total BS. I'm not going to watch any more NFL until they get some real officials back and send these posers back to Footlocker.

So you just see black and red caps (like the top left black and lower right red) on all four connectors?
If so, just gently pry out one black cap and one red cap with a small knife. Then you can plug in your banana plugs.
But if you're saying there are no black and red caps, just metal, then I don't know the answer.

Is there no little plastic plug in the end of the female binding post (where the male banana plug would go)?

have unlimited everything. It also helps that I was grandfathered in with a lot of my services, but it seems like I'll be a life time customer if it stays this way.
Just curious...
With an older plan where you're grandfathered in (as I am with my Verizon plan with unlimited data), if you buy a new 4G phone and have it activated does it work at 4G speeds? Or do they somehow limit you to the 3G speeds of your old grandfathered plan?
-
Ouch... which provider?
I pay $216/month for 3 smartphones (original Droids) with Verizon for unlimited data, unlimited texting, and 700 minutes shared talk. But calls to other cellphones don't count against plan minutes, so we never come close to using the minutes we share. We go way over 1gb of data though.. even on my wife's phone with her facebook stuff (at 3G speeds). I imagine your phone must do 4G (10 times faster?) and you probably could hit 1gb pretty quickly?

And if you live within range of broadcast stations, you can hook an antenna to the HDTV as well. HDTV via OTA is "plug and play" also . . . [

Not that it will both you Dtel, but the Pearl River is now scheduled to crest at 19.5 feet. It will remain over 18 feet until Friday morning. The downside of being at the south end of a drainage basin and it was also raining upstream. The Pearl River is the only site that is still listed with major flooding.
On what list? There are multiple areas with houses still flooded, where people have not been able to return to their homes. The national media NEVER gets the story right in any disaster situation.

I saw the report on CNN about the Tangipahoa Resevior, but it doesn't feed into the area that Dtel lives.....
Understood. But realize that I live much closer to where this particular storm came ashore than Dtel does. I'm 5 miles north of Lake Pontchartrain, directly above the Causeway bridge. The Tangipahoa river in the article I linked is about 17 miles west of me. It's less than two miles east of my sister's house in Hammond, LA. This morning, they were talking like that dam in Mississippi was going to break any minute. They've since changed to 50/50 chance of it giving way. In this area (where the storm has caused a lot more trouble than it caused Dtel) the Tangipahoa is the problem of the moment, affecting over 50 thousand people.
I like Dtel as does everyone else here. But he wasn't the only forum member affected by this storm. There are a number of us here... [

.... This site will show you the rivers around New Orleans, the current water levels and the potential height at cresting and when it will occur. http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/forecasts.php?wfo=lix
This is a link to an article about the current "problem" that just came to light earlier today. An already swollen river that's being threatened by a dam upstream in Mississippi . . .

.... anything that could float or be pushed by waves were moved, including a 5 mile long concrete bridge . . .
Dat bridge be Interstate 10 . . .

The world is a funny place. At 63, I don't feel I am held together with twine and twistie ties. Maybe it's just good genes.
Lee's or Levi's ?

I would also like this function restored...

With the Large Hadron Collider up and running, maybe top researchers will finally understand how to make this happen. Its restoration has been evading the world's greatest minds for years.
I thought the Views were permanently discontinued when they shut down the Saturn plants???

In hindsight,
Nice
I guess I should have said.. "In retrospect, " [8-)]

I do not keep up with college football and know nothing about PS.
I completely agree it is wrong and the kids must be protected, so I must ask.
This was not something that could have possibly improved anything football at PS so why is that program being punished ?
Why not just punish, fire and convict anyone involved in any way and not punish the players or it's program and history ?
The players had nothing to do with this, they are the victims, especially players who were not even there at the time or were planing on going there ?
No, this wasn't something that "could have possibly improved anything football". However, the entire coverup was initiated from the very beginning in order protect the highly regarded Penn State football program. I don't believe the players are necessarily being "punished", except to the extent that many many of them are at Penn State in the first place because of the reputation of the football program. Only now do we (and they) come to realize the scope of the actions that were taken by school offiials to "protect" that reputation, at the expense of some unknown number of innocent children. In hindsight, had Joe Paterno and other school administrators dealt with the Sandusky issue in the proper manner 15 years ago, it would all be over with and forgotten by now. But he (Joe) didn't. He chose to sweep things under the rug, to protect the reputation. The reputation that drew today's players to be there today. So although I feel for them (the players and students), they are much better off than the kids that were swept under the rug.

I remember someone bringing one to school from time to time in grade school. We called them "horny toads" back then. My son is about to start his second year at TCU, where they call (what I believe to be the same thing) them "horned frogs". But yeah, they always seemed more like some kind of lizard to me.

When I was young, my intent was to go to medical school but I didn't pass the entrance exam. One of the questions was "rearrange the letters P N E S I to spell out an important part of the human body that is more useful when erect." Those that spelled SPINE became doctors while the rest of us ended up working in lesser paid jobs . . .

Looks like about 18-20 inches so far.
I have never see that kind of rain gage before, must be the special meteorological type ?
What about a Hurricane Detector like this?
