    Are you ready for some football? NFL 2013-14 schedule is out

    I wanted to go to the Packer-Bears game in Chicago with relatives and was waiting for the schedule release to see what day it was on. Dec 29 might be tough due to the holidays and weather to get everyone to go.

    Gonna get Willam Shatner's autograph at a con I'll be attending.....

    Wow, nice price. I always thought it would be cool to meet him and get his autograph but too cheap to pay the bucks for entry fee and autograph at the Creation events. Amanda Tapping would be cool to meet also. Have fun.

    Gonna get Willam Shatner's autograph at a con I'll be attending.....

    $90 for Shatner and $80 for Stewart is the going price at these conventions for only an autograph. Photo with him will probably cost the same. http://www.creationent.com/cal/stma.htm IN PERSON STAR TREK CELEBRITY AUTOGRAPHS WILLIAM SHATNER $90 (Sunday) GEORGE TAKEI -Sold Out...

    When is the last time you took anything in for repair

    Just mailed off my Ecco shoes for repair. Paid close to $200, wore them twice within a year and then they sat in the closet for several years. I took them out for a wedding and the soles are like sticky tar. Google search shows this is a common problem but I doubt if they will cover it under...

    Need High Resolution Annoyed Picard Image

    I think I'll wait to see if I can a higher quality version in April like you mentioned and either give it as a Xmas or next year gift. I might even spend a little more and see if I can get it signed.

    Need High Resolution Annoyed Picard Image

    Thanks for the effort and work gorcorps. I'm hoping to get at least 3MP for the photo quality I want based on what I have seen of the requirements for 11X14 print. I laughed too. I was thinking it didn't look much better but why is Worf so clear now and then got the joke after a few seconds. :)

    Need High Resolution Annoyed Picard Image

    Thanks, I guess I should have put the image in the op. I wonder if the original was filmed in HD or do they have a way to convert it to HD when they put it on a Bluray. One of these days I'll have to get one of these fancy Bluray players that I keep hearing about and get rid of my VCR. :)

    Need High Resolution Annoyed Picard Image

    Thanks BladeVenom. Unfortunately that one really doesn't fit the Meme I want to add to the picture. Since it is unlikely that I can get the WTF or Annoyed image in the resolution that I want, I think I will go with the one below. I'll continue to look but I want to get it printed and framed...

    Need High Resolution Annoyed Picard Image

    Thanks. I was thinking that the show might not be filmed in HD but I know very little about photography and film so wasn't sure what the highest quality might be if a capture was done. It appears I would be out of luck to get this, at least within my price range. I'm trying to keep the whole...

    Need High Resolution Annoyed Picard Image

    I want to give a gift to someone of an "Annoyed Picard" image with a personalized meme blown up to at least 8X10 or higher. The higher Megapixel the better for quality or in case I want to make a larger image. I have been checking online and I can't seem to find anything. There are a few...

    First time landlord tax woes

    Went to a CPA for the first time last year because I started to rent out my house. Nothing really complicated tax wise and the CPA cost was $300. I called another place and it was roughly the same price but maybe CA is higher or I need to check out a few more places.

    What tool would I use to trim down a non-adjustable shower curtain rod?

    I just installed this same rod that I bought from Amazon in December. I had to cut off about 3.5 cm to get it to fit. I wrapped one end in a towel and put it carefully in a vise then cut it at an angle with a metal cutting blade (Bosch) on a cheap jigsaw from Home depot that I had. You...

    Best Buy line. Lol

    Anyone know how they regulate the line? I would think the other people in line would have to do the supervising. Do they need to be there every single minute to keep their place? I imagine there would be a fight if the first person in line allowed his friend/family in just before the opening...

    Fixed: Nevermind (Thread read indicator not working)

    Usually when I have read something on different sites (Craigslist, Reddit, and Anandtech) the font color of the subject line will change color after I have looked at it which makes it easy to tell what I have seen/read and not seen/read yet. For the last 2-3days this indicator or cookie(?)...

    Watch TV on old system Noob questions

    Thanks guys. Good info SLugbait and Fuzzymath10! I did a search on the local craigslist for tuner cards and didn't see much listed. I though an old AIW might work but I would rather get something newer just to make sure I get all the documentation and accessories. I'll hold off buying...

    Watch TV on old system Noob questions

    Thanks dac7nco and gorobei. My neice is 8 years old so the expectations would be low. The system does seem to be bare minimum based on your comments though. I'll probably get the card you suggested dac7co just for kicks to see if it would work.

    What to do with a VISA gift card with a ~$1 balance?

    I buy Amazon email gift certificates to myself with the balance. I then redeem them into my account and the next time I purchase from them they automatically deduct from there first.

    Pizza debate
