Good luck, maby not IV but take anything else he will give, I would.

That's funny,......but Michael has already seen the industrial version of Mrs Valerie ! A day that will live in Infamy! Gawd, of all I've done around here, that my mark in history is that I was called out by PWK's wife for all that is 'wrong' with the company today...geesh Just a small mark, how many people can say they got chewed on by PWK's wife ???? You had shown a lot of respect that day, and just for the record my money was on you, I think you could have took her if it came down to it ! [:$]

I have also heard the k402 and K403 and the later is not even close, to me the 403 sounds closer to the 510 than the 402. Just another opinion, like we need another. [*-)]

I would love to go visit there,............you are convincing me to redo our garden in Japanese style, we already have most of the plants needed and maby even enough stone. I would love to do koi pond like the ones you posted but I would have to win the lottery considering we have to buy stone by the pound here, no natural stone here bigger than road gravel size. We got into the landscaping business about 15 ? years ago by building ponds and waterfalls, also tropical waterlilies and Koi. It was kind of an accident someone was looking for Koi and water Lillie's and seen our garden ( other house), he wanted his yard done and it just took off from there, no advertisement just business cards. For many years, before we could finish a job people would stop to see what we were doing and ask us to come look at there yard to see what we could do with it, we had deposits for jobs 6 months in advance for work. People would put up a deposit and wait, they would know who was ahead of them and visit us on the job and look at what was going on, many would get ideas from other yards. It was fun but hard work, for a while we tried working 7 days a week to catch up but the more we were out there the more people wanted work done. After looking back now I would say the biggest mistake we made was not hiring more people to help. We wanted to do things just how we wanted and never hired anyone except a friend or relative who wanted to help occasionally, 95 % of the work was done by us two which was good in a way. If things didn't go just how we wanted we had no one to blame but ourselves. We are for the most part out of the business now, although we have a few people who keep calling so we do a little here and there. It was fun, people would ask us how do you work like that every day ? It's easy when you love what you do and can't wait to go to work the next day, and get paid for it ! And there's nothing like when the customer See's the finished job for the first time. We would get to a certain point (if possible) and have everything kind of done here and there so you could not get a real good idea of how it would turn out and try to plan it to fall out on a week end or when the customer would be out of town. Or we had even asked them to try to go off for the weekend and call when they come back Sunday evening. We would finish everything while they were gone and clean up and move trailers and everything out. They would call shocked, the last time they seen there yard it was a mess, trailers, tractors wheelbarrows and all the other tools all over the place including plants not planted or even where they were going to go and dirt on sidewalks, empty pots everywhere, the normal mess when you tear up a yard. I do sometimes miss it, but not the heat. Edit; that's what the dtel was for " Down To Earth Landscapes " [:S]

Welcome, and that should sound great in that room ! [Y]

Professor Thump, not sure but I think that's a female type person with one sock on ? [:S] Thanks, I feel normal now when I look in my room ! []

Very nice, I love Japanese gardens, we are going to redo our front garden, it's been years, and we are thinking about a Japanese garden even though we are taking out the Koi pond. That's about the only country I would visit just for the trees and gardens, nothing else even comes close to a nice Japanese garden.

I see now why they pay, it was rough we did not know what we were getting into. But we did get about 75 3 gallon pots each out of it, which would have cost us more then we were willing to pay. There is a local (30 minutes away) Bamboo club, I thought about joining but these guys are way to serious for me, it's crazier than the audio people. [:$] I really like the running bamboo more than the clumping you just need to be sure you want it permanently where you plant it. I would love to plant some in the back yard and have it big enough to make a trail in and maby some benches like we had seen in North Carolina. Sounds like a nice place your going to, I am always willing to do a little work to save money or to get more for the money I am spending. Have fun.

It HAS to be Orange, it's just the way it is, there's no way around it. Orange has been found to " coax" the signal thru the wire faster and easier that's why it's called coaxial cable ! [:|]

Your probably right the better the root the more stalks will grow in less time. Seti look up some prices on the computer before you go to that farm, some Bamboo is very expensive and none of it is cheap. There are some really nice looking bamboo, I have a few pots of some yellow with green stripes and i had some giant Bamboo a man let us dig a few pieces from his patch. It was about 8" thick and 75' tall, we cut it into 15' pieces to get it home to show Christy how tall it was , we planted it behind our property and I think it didn't make it after a very wet winter one year. That clumping Bamboo in the pic we dug up from in town, it was on the side of a building, one big clump. We asked who owned it and if we could dig a few pieces from it, they said is there any way we could take it all ? We ended up using a tractor and a cable, we dug under one side as far as we could and was going to try to get the cable under it and try to pull it up. What ended up happening was the cable just cut through the dirt under the plant like a knife, we were left with a giant plant completely loose. We used the tractor to load it in a trailer and bring it home, we thought we had it made until we tried to cut it up, it took 2 days and kicked our butts.

Never heard of him but that's the way to go. [W]

We have some Cornwall's in a 10' x 16' bedroom, they are on the long wall and they sound great. Here are some pic's. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/118374.aspx

Every time the government stimulated me it was not fun, they can keep there stimulus package. [:|]

Really? Sure, it means making sexual comments to fellow workers, or inappropriately touching them, or in some cases threatening them to exchange sexual favors for promotions and so on. I'm surprised your company hadn't provided training in that area - most that I knew of were sticklers for it. Thanks, yeah sexual harrassment does not get much press in the adult film industry. So your the famous Jacksonbart ! []........ If you just had a name like Trey Cannon ! [:$]

Tired of looking at all that green, here is one of my favorite plant's, Red Japanese Maple " Crimson Queen " with an upright growing green Maple behind it. I think that's enough pic's !

Here is some of the pots I keep cutting to try to get enough to do the other side of the property where the side road is. We live on a corner, the circle driveway to the back of the property is on the side road, hard to explain.

This is a different type still clumping but the canes get about 1 1/2" thick. I put it in the back yard where the back driveway splits then makes a circle, you can you tell we don't drive back there much the grass wants to cover the rocks. It's a circle driveway going to where we plan on building another house, if i live long enough. [:|]

Almost forgot, this is my neighbors Bamboo from the side so you can see how it clumps.

My property line about 2 years old, same Bamboo, I think it will crowd out the Apple tree before long.

My neighbors row we planted a few years ago.

I never had much problem dividing it and it not living, I had some extra plants after planting my side property line so I cut up the roots and put them into 3 gallon pots. After about a year in the pots I removed them again and cut them up again and re potted them, this was done a few times and needs to be done again. I am trying to get enough to do another property line on the other side of the yard that runs along the side street that has a little more traffic. I may have just been lucky when cutting them up, it's not like I was careful I used a machete .[] My neighbor planted some also about a year before me, I will go take a pic of his and mine and post. Every one likes pics anyway . []

Not exactly sure what JB meant but I was saying was I feel sorry for the people who feel they have to be politically correct in what they say and do. I don't always say what I think as it may hurt someones feelings, my wife " claims" I am a smart @ss, but to say certain things that people want to hear just to fit in or be correct with the current opinions is a little crazy, imo.

That's one contest that I really for sorry for the contestants.

For me sitting about 15' back it makes little difference, I just tilt the speaker to aim it where I sit. My center channel is 6 1/2 feet from the ground on it's side ( fortee ll ), I once put it in front of the TV on the ground and could not hear a difference. To me if it's pointing at you, (up or down) this is more important, if you adjust the volume to match all the speakers so you hear them equally which you should do in any case. To me almost any speaker could use a sub but it must be set where it does no more than fill in where the speakers leave off. Just my opinion.
