What Jeff says is basically true for all of the major cities in Texas, although we do get the occasional ice storm in Dallas/Fort Worth. Housing is cheap because there is no shortage of land to build on, not neccesarily because of who does the labor (land supply/demand curve).

Taking Colter's comment further, is there any way to rig a mount from the ceiling and hang your surrounds? Might be worth investigating.

mmmkay

I use discwasher then a zerostat to handle static issues. If you don't have a zerostat then maybe you might switch to a recommended cheap alternative. If you have the old style fluid i would be interested after you switch in your leftovers (the kind that does not smell like alcohol, D4 not D4+).

I have cleaned my lps on the old Technics direct drive without turning it on (as a semi-auto i would have to lift the tonearm using the lever and move it in towards the lp, which would lead to greater disaster potential in my mind) for years with no ill effects. This TT is now 27 years old, original owner.

Sounds like Pink Floyd lyrics but I am no expert there.

I am very happy for you Picky!

" Remember the Forte is essentially a Heresy on steroids" Nah, it's a Khorn with stunted growth.

Talking Heads from Little Creatures---song is Stay Up Late. I'll tell you why. They were an incredible band with great lyrics and musicianship. Here's one you should get then: Somebody said that it happens all over the world I do believe that it's true And the sun's coming up And we're doing all the things that we should Doesn't everybody here believe in the things we do?

For anyone who cares, regarding previous posts about flossing. Do this once a day. I do it at night before bed while watching tv or other passive activity. It is cheap and highly effective, and if you get a real professional cleaning done by someone who cares about doing it right, then do this, you will have that just cleaned feeling every day, and subsequent cleanings are very easy and your gums will stay healthy, and therefore your teeth will stay yours for a long life. In order from left to right use these tools (toothpaste not pictured).

Dregs blew him off the stage? Electric or upright? When I saw Clarke with Chick Corea and Return to Forever (two different tours) he was unbelievable. To be blown off the stage would take an alien from planet bass, or maybe he was sick as a dog. Duke is fantastic for sure, Zappa, Cobham, you name it.

I would go with Khorns based on the criteria presented, assuming the room corners are right. As for wood finish, different woods mix and match quite nicely again assuming that the woods are quality and finished well. Check out my pic in best show on tv http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/8/797352/ShowThread.aspx#797352. The Forte II's are oak, the chair is walnut, the floor is oak, and just in the right side is the edge of an entertainment center in cherry. I can assure you that no one would walk into the room and say damn, these woods look terrible together. Find a pair in nice cosmetic condition and you are set.

Just be glad you are not a raiders fan. What in hell ever happened to that glorious original and storied AFL team that Madden once led?

Psycho Killer--Talking Heads One of my all time favorite songs. The live version on Stop Making Sense equals PARTY! Here's an easy one but still a great tune: Here am I floating round my tin can Far above the Moon Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do.

That's right. RF-83. The most devastating invention ever to come out of a secret American lab. Highly contagious. Deadly in overly high doses.

Yeah, it clicks a small part of my feeble mind but can't quite place it yet.

I don't blame you one bit gary. Besides, reality is for people who can't handle drugs anyway. Whenever I hear "root canal" I always hear in my mind the Zevon tune "It Ain't That Pretty at All." Well, I've seen all there is to see And I've heard all they have to say I've done everything I wanted to do . . . I've done that too And it ain't that pretty at all Ain't that pretty at all So I'm going to hurl myself against the wall 'Cause I'd rather feel bad than not feel anything at all You know, I just had a short vacation, Roy Spent it getting a root canal "Oh, how'd you like it?" Well, it ain't that pretty at all So I'm going to hurl myself against the wall 'Cause I'd rather feel bad than not feel anything at all Gonna get a good running start and throw myself at the wall as hard as I can man I've been to Paris And it ain't that pretty at all I've been to Rome Guess what? I'd like to go back to Paris someday and visit the Louvre Museum Get a good running start and hurl myself at the wall Going to hurl myself against the wall 'Cause I'd rather feel bad than feel nothing at all And it ain't that pretty at all Ain't that pretty at all

Just beautiful.

You have excellent taste!

Now that's right. Yeah, pretty simultaneous so I edited my post as well.

Based on your avatar JB I would have to guess you are a nazi living in Hong Kong. I know: based on my avatar I'm the Easter Bunny.

You are lucky Michael, without cable or satellite we get next to nothing.

She's Come Undone--various groups "I'm getting tired of waiting and fooling around I'll find somebody, who won't make me feel like a clown This can't go on..."

Good dentists can be hard to find. Many are in it for the "business." In other words they are more concerned with making money than the care of patients. We quit a guy right in town, he was real convenient, but noticed after a short time how serious he was(nt). Now we drive 50+ minutes to the other side of the metroplex to my cousin, whose dad used to be my dentist when I was a kid (and was also my godfather). He does volunteer work for the infirmed at nursing homes. This gives you a clue about what kind of person you are dealing with. Look for someone more concerned with the practice of dental medicine than with being on the golf course by 3. Quit this guy Michael and find a good one. Ask lots of questions, get referrals from people with similar work done and ask them lots of questions. You know what to ask since you have experienced this yourself. You might also file a complaint with the state board.

Sorry OB. Why don't you post some in that thread in general questions. Amy kind of tried to stop gratuitous chick pic posting over here. Seriously though, my forte II pic didn't turn you on? lol I knew I should have removed the grill...
