  1. Yep I grew up in Sioux City. I know exactly what you are referring too. I guess they are shutting down the John Morrel plant now. That is the plant you are referring to I believe. Commonly called sewer city.
  2. Yes I have been a fan of Iowa wrestling since I was a kid. I grew up in northwest Iowa and wrestled in school. I have been trying to find the Iowa matches on BTN but havent had much luck. I set the DVR to record what was suppose to be a Iowa duel but BTN ran a basketball special instead. [:@] It was something about best Big 10 guard-forward combo. I am looking for another Iowa championship this year. It is hard to beat the Gable coaching lineage, now with the Brands' brothers IMO. I will have to check again for some duels, they should be more readily available with the big tournaments coming up.
  3. Big Bang Theory (Ba-Zinga) 2 and 1/2 Men Office House Criminal Minds ...and for sheer stupid entertainment Red Green Show on PBS.
  4. I did not like K.D. Lang's version especially towards the end.
  5. OK seriously, do you think anybody hooked on meth is really homeschooling? Just because they choose to not send their children to school doesnt mean they are being schooled. If a kid wants to party they are going to party regardless of homeschooling or not. My parents were harder on me than any of my friend's parents but that didnt make me totally out of control when I went away to college. Did it teach me discipline, responsibilty, and accountabilty? Yes. There are many more factors involved than to just make a blanket statement that public schooling is more beneficial than homeschooling. Yes I was homeschooled for about 3 years, I went on to college and secured a really nice job in the medical field. I had a girlfriend that went to public school so I was able to do many of the normal high school activities through her. I do not feel I missed out on anything by being homeschooled other than dealing with high school childish BS. Glad I missed that.
  6. I have RB5's on stands and they dont have a mounting hole.[] You will be fine if you dont have any drunk girlfriends over.
  7. I am not familiar with your Pioneer but are you sure you plugged the sub into the Preout connector and not the Multi CH IN connector. Double check your connections. I just looked at a picture and you should be able to just use a single RCA sub cable from the sub to the PreOut of the receiver.
  8. Here in Lexington they dont. We got a TOTAL of 4.5 inches and schools have been cancelled for 2 days and possibly a third. I dont understand it.
  9. Yeah, according to the reports they are in the middle of filming the opelio season. We should have one last king crab season with Phil to air. It is one of my favorite shows on Discovery. I will never forget Phil's reaction and contagious laugh a few years ago when the captain of the Time Bandit, pulled a prank on Phil and tied a old pickup truck to one of Phil's crab pots and sank it to the bottom of the sea. The look on Phil's face when they pulled up that old truck was priceless.
  10. Captain Phil Harris of the fishing vessel, Cornelia Marie, has died from a stroke. He was one of the captains from TV's Discovery channel show, The Deadliest Catch. Captain Harris was one of the more colorful figures from the show IMO. He will be missed by all who liked the show. RIP Cpt. Phil. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100210/ap_on_en_tv/us_obit_phil_harris
  11. Maybe it is just me, but I enjoy when I get a new toy like that and get to hook it up. I usually learn from my past mistakes about concealing and running wires and make it much prettier.However I dont have a cat and child to contend with.[]
  12. Hey Youthman, I am not using a Harmony, but here is a link with some info. http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboard/rc-harmony/list.cgi
  13. I feel for you Gary. I hope is it over for you guys out there. When I was growing up in Iowa and would get the marathon snowfalls, I was the one who had to shovel. I would always go out about every hour and shovel to keep on top of it. I would always see people looking out the windows and probably thinking what a waster of time it was to be shoveling since it was still coming down. After about 10 hours, I was the one laughing when I would look out and see everybody struggling to shovel the 18+ inches from their driveways.
  14. Seems to me you asked the wrong question. My question would be, "Why are school hours being used for a circus?" I dont send my kid (if I had one) to school for a circus. Seems the only "two classes" they are creating are smart and dumb. Smart being the ones that go to the library[]. If the school really wanted to play that game, I would send my kid to school with essentially the only book a kid is not able to read (religious) in public school system and tell him to read it in the library. God forbid if I ever have to send my kid to a public school.
  15. Most Denons I have had on horns were thin and bright. I have not had that experience with Klipsch reference series and Denon.
  16. Given the mains, I would stick with the rc62 for a seamless frontstage.
  17. Does this mean the NFL also owns the slogan "Who Dey" that the Bengals use? What is it with all the Who Dat, Who Dey, Who Dem, Who Cares? If the NFL wants to "dumb" up their franchise go ahead, I will never be saying the phrases again.[] No, my statement isnt directed to any region or particular folks.
  18. I'm sure you can get tons of tips for your display settings @ http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1123817&highlight=sony+xbr9 Probably the number one suggestion would be to take the tv out of the "retail" or saturation setting. However as a down side to avsforum, you will also be opened up to every possible problem that might plague the new Sony. Congrats on the new purchase. .
  19. Did you run the auto setup calibration when you got the Denon?
  20. I expect it to be a low scoring game despite the two high powered offenses. I say this because I think the weather will play a big part in the game, much like it did the last time the Colts played in the Super Bowl in Miami. It will probably be a monsoon down there with the way the weather has been this year(or couple of months). With that said, Colts 24-21. Unless it is a warm clear day, then its Colts 38-35.[]
  21. While it is nice to have a paper trail, I would contact 6ave via phone and actually talk to the knuckleheads. I think this situation calls for some personal attention. It is too easy to tell a customer we have no idea where your product is or know when to expect it over emails. If I was talking to them live, I would never accept that answer. They may not have a timeframe for the fix, but they would have to know where the package is, afterall they requested you send it UPS with a tracking number and delivery confirmation. Good luck.
  22. WOW, thats rough, your FOX broadcast wasnt in HD? How did they get away with that?
  23. If your budget isnt that big, I would keep the Rf3's and be on the look out for a used RC3. The surrounds may be more difficult to find (RS3) so maybe look for the RS42.
  24. The Hiltonhonors program has some Klipsch products as well. I imagine it is the same program that AMEX has since there is a Hiltonhonors AMEX card.
