Wendell Willkie? Wasn't he a Hoosier?

I suspect if you ask Amy, that would be giving us too much credit

Maybe the title of this thread should be; "Is everything okay in there?" And I see Mr. Whipple's son, Sheriff Whipple, got involved.

I agree Dee, the blog quite often gives an interesting view of the inner workings of Klipsch. I enjoy reading it except for the fact that Amy apparently murdered the ducks.

I am using Safari. To demonstrate after every period in this post I will hit enter. Everything formats correctly on my screen. Until I post. Forget about trying to post a link or picture. This has been brought up before. When the Forum was "upgraded" Safari users were left to fend for themselves. No other forum I participate in has this problem. Or leaves it to the user to figure out how to make adjustments. I was chastised before for saying this sucks even though I explained the reasons why. Well... I'm sorry but it does suck. This "upgrade" created more problems for the users of one the most common web browsers. Tough for us apparently. - Jim This post should show up as 17 separate lines - but it won't.

Figured I'd update this thread on a Friday during Lent. Hmmm... Bacon Cups... bacon... bacon... bacon. http://www.notmartha.org/archives/2008/02/27/bacon-cups/

Everyday, but I think I'm in the minority.

The entire flannj family standing out in our driveway, all of the outside lights turned off. You can hear many of our neighbors are doing the same. A crystal clear, windless night. The lunar eclipse is absolutely stunning. Did I mention it is zero degrees out? Bunch of knuckleheads we are.

We had a couple in the northwest chicago burbs during that storm too... I remember in total there being about a half dozen reported along the state line. I even grabbed some images off the weather sites to show the watches and warnings - in January... craziness. Look for the bright red counties along the WI/IL border... A couple days prior to this (which is Jan 7/8) Chicago had 60+ degrees, melting all the snow and the windows were open. Nutty weather this year for sure. That storm knocked a Union Pacific freight train off the tracks up in Harvard IL. (on the IL.- WI. border) Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis said no one was injured when one locomotive and 12 freight cars derailed Monday around 4 p.m. in Harvard in McHenry County. One tank car, which leaked for hours before being contained Monday night, contained shock fluid, Davis said. Another tank car that ended up on its side contained ethylene oxide, a flammable material widely used to sterilize medical supplies, but a Union Pacific manager on the scene determined that tank was not leaking, Davis said. Authorities ordered the evacuation of about 500 residents in the nearby unincorporated town of Lawrence because of the potential for a hazardous materials situation, said Capt. David Shepherd with the McHenry County sheriff’s office. No injuries were reported, he said. Three other derailed cars on the train headed to Janesville, Wis., from North Lake contained auto parts, and seven more were empty, Davis said. Crews prepared Monday night to move the cars away from the tracks. “It’s very muddy conditions in the area, so it’ll take a while,” Davis said.

Yeah, good question. Where are the little yellow ba$tards? On another binge again? - Jim

Works just fine. Did it to my Heresy III's. Look here http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/thread/862433.aspx Sorry about the look of my post but the current forum "upgrade" sucks if you use a mac.

Who you calling an East Coaster? -3 right now here in the Midwest. Supposed to get down to -18 out here tonight. The snowmobilers will be out all night on the Fox River, they live for this. When I get up at 4:30 tomorrow morning I'll be able to hear them still racing up and down the river. It is a beautiful clear night with a bright moon and I'm actually going out for a walk right now. I just wish there was more snow!

Amy - check oout picky's first 2 replies on the first page of this thread. He mentions that it is plastic and not the license plate. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/69966.aspx

No it is not the license plate. But if Klipsch were to make these signs available I would take two.

No we don't..... Storms continued to pummel the nation's midsection as darkness fell on a day when record temperatures were reported across much of the country. Tornadoes were also reported in Arkansas and Oklahoma and along the Illinois-Wisconsin border. About six homes were destroyed in the small town of Poplar Grove, Ill., where authorities rescued motorists trapped by downed, live electrical lines and crews searched damaged structures to make sure no one was trapped. Three people suffered minor injuries, Boone County Sheriff's Lt. Perry Gay said. About 15 miles away in Harvard, Ill., another reported tornado knocked six rail cars off their tracks. A tank car containing shock fluid was leaking, and another derailed car contained ethylene oxide, a flammable material widely used to sterilize medical supplies, but was not leaking, Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis said. Authorities ordered the evacuation of about 500 residents in the nearby unincorporated town of Lawrence because of the potential for a hazardous materials situation, said Capt. David Shepherd with the McHenry County Sheriff's Office. No injuries were reported, he said. To the northeast, a tornado ripped through Wisconsin's Kenosha County. Eleven houses in Wheatland were destroyed, five others had heavy damage and four had moderate damage, said Matthew Gronke, fire chief for the town of Randall. About 13 people were injured, none seriously, authorities said. Deputies responding to a rollover accident saw a house collapse as the storm blew through, Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said. "It got flattened as they were there," he said, and windblown debris ripped the emergency light bar off their squad car. The deputies completed their rescue of the motorist pinned beneath the car and then ran to the house. "They pulled the wreckage from the basement door and got some people out," he said. The tornado warning disrupted legal proceedings in Walworth County, as at least 300 people were moved to a courthouse basement as a precaution. Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce E. Schroeder, who was presiding over opening testimony in a high-profile murder trial that was moved in Walworth County, said he couldn't believe it when the deputy said the courtroom had to be evacuated because of a tornado warning. "It's a first," he said while waiting in the basement. "I've actually had ... warnings occur during jury trials before and frankly I just ignored them. But not in January." Three juries were kept away from the rest of the courthouse employees, deputies, reporters and others in the basement during the hour-long evacuation. Meteorologists said the unusual weather was the result of warm, moist air moving from the South that had temperatures hovering near 70 degrees on Sunday and Monday. "It's very unseasonable for this time of year," said meteorologist Benjamin Sipprell of the National Weather Service's St. Louis office. "The atmosphere is just right."
