  2. Purdue (not ranked) demonstrated how it got the nickname Spoilermakers by defeating #2 Iowa soundly at Iowa. According to the announcers, that is the ninth time an unranked Boilermaker team beat a #2 team. No other college football team has done that more than four times.
  3. I believe Mike @MookieStl built two of those to use under Belles.

    To put an end to thread drift, you know you’re having a bad day when you get stuck in line behind a price check at a dollar store.

    Thanks for refreshing my geriatric brain Emil @EmilC. Your post is humorous, but true. The notion that all high school students should aspire to college is absurd. One of my best high school teachers lectured our AP physics class on the very topic. Of course, he was playing devil’s advocate, but he wanted that college bound group to think and say, “yes, but . . . “

    What was the photo?
  8. I grew up in Cincinnati, the suburbs of Kentucky. I said and thought things for which I’m now ashamed. The fact that I have “sinned” does not preclude me from calling out others for racist, sexist, mysogonistic, homophobic, etc., remarks.
  9. The sound is for 2 channel only. The TV sound comes from the DIY Fostex 103 bass reflex speakers without subs, two of which are sitting on two of the TH subs. I’m not into movie explosions. The screen shown has been replaced by a larger screen, but there’s only so much available space. A bigger screen holds no appeal to me.
  10. IMO, Nancy Kulp was an interesting person (LTJG in USNR), but a “looker,” I think not. Ms Kulp is on the right.
  11. My father worked at Proctor & Gamble (P&G) in Cincinnati when P&G first produced Jif. IIRC, Jif’s label mentioned the inclusion of honey, and it was called peanut spread, rather than peanut butter, due to the honey. That’s all gone now; no longer any mention of honey in Jif peanut butter. FYI, P&G sold Jif to Smuckers. FWIW, we usually buy Jif, but we own stock in Smuckers, so I must recuse myself.
  12. I recommend four; you could always sell any you feel are overkill (Right, like worrying about sealing the bag of chips so they don’t go stale, like that’s ever gonna happen). My experience is unique, but may be useful. At the suggestion of a thread started by Carl @CECAA850, I found my way to a thread on the AVS forum about the Anarchy Exodus tapped horn (TH) sub, which is flat to 25hz. TH subs are not true horn subs, IMO, they’re a hybrid between direct radiator and horn. Due to the 6.5” woofer, compared to full horn subs with larger woofers, they require relatively little space. I built five (my younger son has #5) eventually. In the cluttered photo below there are four subs. They’re in the corners next to and behind the HIPs. Adding extra subs does not lower the extension, but it does raise the SPL. Also, multiple subs provide location options enabling you to address room peculiarities. The addition of the first sub was a dramatic improvement. Adding the second sub resulted in an improvement, but less dramatic than the first, and so on. There is definitely a diminishing return factor. If high decibel output is a regular thing, then more subs would be required. The above photo is, IIRC, an Anarchy Exodus TH under construction in Carl’s garage.
  13. Nancy Kulp was a poet?
  14. I admit I had to Google F Troop to be reminded of her name. Sadly, I learned that Melody Patterson died in 2015 at the age of 66. Where the Fugawi?
  15. I agree with Dave @Dave1291 the #2 QB at PSU ought to be up to the task and should have been better prepared. He was heavily recruited for a reason. His high school stats are amazing. With more preparation he should do well. Now if #2 goes down all bets are off.
  16. Listen to Claude. IMO, the bass bin mod only makes sense if a decent subwoofer is not an option. If you can acquire, or build, a quality subwoofer, the bass bin mod is superfluous.
  17. Kind of a Buckeye Enigma Machine?
  18. B1G has 5 teams in the AP Top 25. Obviously, there are changes to come. MSU plays Indiana in Bloomington next Saturday. Sparty will probably be favored. MSU has a bye the following Saturday before welcoming the Wolverines to Spartan Stadium. Michigan has a bye next week before playing Northwestern in Ann Arbor. There is a good chance both teams will be undefeated and ranked when they meet in three weeks. The rivalries and short college season are absent from the NFL. The Detroit Lions lost 19 - 17 to the Vikings today. Yawn. Another “moral victory.”
  19. I tried to hire a landscape gardener once, but after taking one look at my garden she said, “I can’t help you. Your garden is in portrait.”
  20. Thanks Bruce. Until there is no shortage of healthcare workers in the US, especially in rural and urban areas, the US healthcare system gratefully relies on the skills of nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers trained outside the US.
  21. Good morning Dave, After your first cup of coffee, you really should fire your proofreader.😉 But seriously, IMO, Alabama will stay in the top ten. Sparty will probably join the top ten, but at whose expense? If not The Crimson Tide or Nittany Lions, who? As in most seasons, being undefeated does not automatically make you better than a one loss, Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State, etc. For example, Cincinnati is an excellent team which will probably finish the regular season undefeated, but beating Murray State, Temple, Tulane, etc., does not mean they’re better than Alabama, Georgia, The Ohio State University, or the like.
  22. Martinez blew it but the referees helped. The announcers and rules analyst agreed that the late interference call against Nebraska on a play where the Michigan qb threw it out of the end zone was incorrect,
  23. Having enjoyed both, I agree. The LS 3/5a are extremely inefficient, requiring lots of clean power to sound their best, whereas La Scalas sound great with a few clean watts of power, but they occupy a much larger space. Given the available space, I prefer La Scalas.
  24. The Detroit Free Press shows Nebraska as 3 1/2 over the Wolverines. I believe that’s a mistake; should be reversed. If it’s not a mistake, it’s a mistake. The. Cornhuskers will put a scare into the Wolverines, but Michigan should win.
