    Christmas gift for grandfather

    get the remote programmed for him ahead of time if possible and spend as much time as you can going over it. harmony's are great remotes when they work, but can get quite confusing for those not in the know when they are not being cooperative. spend time making sure all the necessary buttons...

    Bowlers.. recommend me a new bowling ball..

    try www.bowling.com. yeah, hard to figure out. they have pretty good prices. theres a lot to take into consideration when considering a new ball - whether youre a cranker or a tweener, what kind of reaction youre looking for - whether you want more front end/back end, the alley conditions...

    I just purchased a KDL-46XBR3 -HELP!

    interesting that you were able to get an xbr3 tho - i heard they were in pretty short supply recently. xbr2s have been discontinued i believe.

    I just purchased a KDL-46XBR3 -HELP!

    it all depends on whether or not you can 'see' the difference. some people can, some cant. im sure part of it is a placebo type effect as well. no matter how you transfer your analog signal from box to tv, crap is crap no matter how it gets there. its still going to look poor. for HD...

    I just purchased a KDL-46XBR3 -HELP!

    see answer above - with the right dvd player (see oppo) the upconverting hardware in the dvd player is quite better than the job the tv can do. so better off having the dvd do it instead. some people cant tell the difference between upconverted images and not, and some dont care. sometimes...

    I just purchased a KDL-46XBR3 -HELP!

    the xbr3 is a great tv. congratulations. to answer your questions - 1.) not all dvds will fill up your entire screen, and that is due to the aspect ratio. 4:3 is the 'square' format, which will fill 4:3 standard definition tvs (like most folks tube tvs), but not 16:9 HD tv's. thats...

    This is how people cheat on online poker

    good poker players should be going through this in their head anyways - if you cant do this on your own, you'll never reach your full potential. if you need the software to do it for you - then you probably suck. the software also cannot take into account the kind of players you are playing...

    HDTV Problem

    yeah, it does sound like maybe the screen was hit with something or had something pushed against that area at some point. if you havent hit it with anything, id say its been like that since you bought it.

    Mounting LCD on a plaster wall.

    plaster walls dont cause any apparent obstacles for mounting tvs because you are mounting the bracket to the studs, not to the makeup of the wall itself. however, plaster is prone to cracking, so you have to be extra careful when you are drilling your pilot holes into the studs when mounting...

    Coolest Guitar Moment Ever?

    i still think that ranks second to SRV's performance of rude mood/pipeline from 88 in new orleans with his brother, JLV.

    Driver head popped off.

    its the 3rd time ive accomplished such a feat... was afraid to hit anything after that tho, and just went with a pitching wedge for the last few balls.

    Proof of inventory? Are they kidding?

    sounds like the norm from PP. i'd call them, but i dont think itd solve anything. id be way too wound up. ill just fax them the crap they want and hopefully be done with it.

    Proof of inventory? Are they kidding?

    so, instead of answering my valid question, they simply sent me a cookie cutter response, the same they would to anyone else who has had their account access limited for one reason or another. theyre just pissed i dont have a premier account on which they can charge me.

    Who will win McBride or Tyson?

    i think the tyson/sapp thing is way in the past. that was before he was going to actually start boxing again to earn money. dont expect it to happen, especially anytime soon. tyson will whup this guys butt. even tho everytime he seems to get it together, he falls even harder, some longtime...

    good point. i think its tough to argue what is and isnt an intent to go to second tho. but like you said, its a judgement call by the umpire.

    A baseball question.

    Absolutely. My brother-in-law made the same point about batted balls. Change the location of this play and it becomes clearer. Imagine the runner going from first to second. The second baseman boots the ball and the ball touches the runner. The runner is safe. It's no longer a batted ball once...

    A baseball question.

    a pitcher is there to FIELD the ball, so whatever happens with it when it comes to him, in any fashion, he can do whatever he wants with it. he is never considered to be interfering with the play. we are talking about an OFFENSIVE player getting hit by a batted ball. you are hit by...

    A baseball question.

    after seeing the diagram, the runner COULD be out. im not sure what the ruling is on an attempted fielded ball hitting a runner. but on another note (after seeing the diagram) one thing to keep in mind, if you are returning to first base by turning to the LEFT and returning in fair...

    A baseball question.

    what does a pitcher getting hit by a line drive have ANYTHING to do with RUNNERS getting hit by line drives? i dont believe it has to be a line drive either. a dribble in fair play hits you, you are out.

    A baseball question.

    wrong. if a runner gets hit by a line drive while running the bases he is out. you have to be careful so as to get out of the way of line drives when running the bases so this doesnt happen. i am wondering however that since this ball was fielded, and the runner was not hit by a line...

    A baseball question.

    ball is still in fair territory and live, i believe he would still be out. only thing that might make a difference is if the runner made a turn inside the foul like to walk back to the base and stepped on the ball. i believe he still may be out tho.

    just head back in there and get in touch with a manager and bitch until you get what you want. if you dont, head to another store and try it there. shouldnt be necessary, but do it if you need to to get it fixed.
