  1. Thanks for updating - this is a fantastic room!
  2. And Scrappy has owned just about everything at one time or another, so take his advice with a little extra credibility.
  3. It generates the clicks, clicks make the money, the doom headlines get gloomier.
  4. First of all Welcome! I agree with scrappy here - You will not ever regret having more center. You could very well find yourself wanting more from it if you get a smaller one, it carries the weight on movies so go as big as you can on this element! Good luck and enjoy!
  5. That wolf is actually domestic cat. I'm sorry, you've been deceived.
  6. Cool video - that's incredible how they do that. Generations of tradition.
  7. I loved that he went (even after they traded him to the minors!) and that he had an impact on the game! Great story for him!
  8. Congrats sound mind! Enjoy and welcome to the forum!
  9. I have the VSX 53 and I really like it. I use it as a pre though into an external amp. The only thing I don't like is the intermittent functionality of the internet remote. In other words, you have to adjust the eq with the music/movie not playing and it's cumbersome. I don't know if they've resolved this with the newer models, but this is my chief frustration with the Pioneer Elite. The sound quality is great though.
  10. That's incredible! You better not plan on moving... ever.
  11. Yeah 1964. Good Friday. Magnitude 9.2 and it lasted four minutes. I cannot even imagine.
  12. A friends house not mine. He just bought the tv for Christmas. Could be so much worse.
  13. Yeah we're good and power came back up about 10 min ago. Kudos to our local utility for such a quick response! We were only down almost an hour. It rattles the nerves a little. We only had some drawers open in the kitchen. Some friends closer to the epicenter, lost a tv and pictures off the wall, etc.
  14. Well in my neck of Alaska we have very little snow right now - but about 1:30 am local time we had a nice shaker that went on for some time. It was a magnitude 7.1 and we have no power. That's the biggest one I've experienced and that was quite humbling! Our Facebook feed is hopping, apparently we're all awake in our community! Some minor damage, but no injuries reported at this point. Whew! Back to bed! http://www.google.org/publicalerts/alert?aid=c4307fecfa369d55&hl=en&gl=US&source=web The rf7ii's are fine as well, I went downstairs to be sure. ;-) priorities...
  15. Nice progression pics Thebes! Happy digging out day whenever that arrives. I'm a little jealous as in south central Alaska we have bupkis for snow right now...
  16. Welcome Mike! Nice room and perfect nook for the center channel!
  17. WOW! Michael this is Fantastic! What a wonderful room you will have! Hang in there Wake, thank you for sharing your incredible gifts! We are enjoying them from afar!
  18. Tremendous loss. Sorry to hear this.
  19. Good morning - realizing I've been sitting on 666 posts and wanted to change that. but to honor that I think I'll go find some old kiss or black sabbath records, play them backwards and see if I get any insight on life...
  20. Ditto on breakfast for dinner! Greetings all! Happy post powerball day! Alaska is one of six states apparently that don't participate, so I was not in that number of donors either. The stats on that thing were mind bending pulling in $8m/min for a while yesterday?! Wow! Just ran some numbers: If we had a $1.5B powerball applied directly to the $18.6T national debt EVERY DAY (without the debt accruing any interest), it would take a mere 12,400 days or just under 34 YEARS to be back in the green. Good times. Happy Hump Day!
  21. fixed. Perfect - thank you!
  22. Unrelated but now the Rams are on the move back to LA - I hope San Diego is able to keep the Chargers. At least the raiders have been there before as well, but the Charger fans are there through thin and thin. (That was intentional)
  23. Welcome to the forum! If it will fit - I'd highly recommend the 440C over the 250C. The more center, the better experience. It's often the weakest link and for HT, it's the most important piece. Good luck - post pics when it's all set up and enjoy!!!
  24. This should have been a penalty. A chippy game goes nuts when refs let this go - even if he's not defenseless, that's a classic leading with the head at the head. Huge play and a huge swing in the emotional frenzied feeling for the bengals when this is let go. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Amt_kYqE4UQ
