Great stuff Simon, keep the reports coming..................I think I said this on another board, :lol: :lol: Spiel, you still have a few "words" available, just consult the dictionary!!!!!!!!!!!

Snoopy vs. the Red Baron

forget the waffle look(nobody sees it anyways), just buy polypro, you will be warm and impressed with it.

Looks great. Put an OFC decal on it also though.

I just looked at the specs on the samsung site, looks like a good unit.

:D :D :D :D

send a pm to pikeie, he worked at a lodge on LOTW's last summer. How he got in I do not know, but he will be able to give you some info.

Welcome to the asylum, you can check out anytime, but you can never leave, lol Hey Rick, shouldn't that be "stupid snowblower" never mind, just checked the satellite photos of your area, you're still looking brown.

Congratulations Lew, looks fantastic.

It was Rhino brand that CTC sold. It appears they do not have the stainless steel line of rods any more. I have had one for 6 yrs, its great. See the pdf below for the entire Rhino lineup: http://www.rhinofishing.com/Rhino2008.pdf

Hi Ron, this is the one we recently purchased. Even running other devices through a videoconferencing codec, the images look great. But, you have to choose one of probably 200 units in your price range and size requirements. LG says it's supposed life span is 100,000 hrs. Hope that does happen. And, it is not as heavy as plasmas from years back, its only 77 lbs. http://www.lge.com/ca_en/tv-audio-video/tv...a-tv-50PQ60.jsp

you ARE going to let us know ahead of time right?????? I will probably need 2 cases of beer to pass the time.

Hey Ron, if you can wait a day, I can get you the specs on the recent LG plasma we bought for work at Future Shop. It is a 50" unit, full glass surface, 2 HDMI inputs, video input, VGA input, composite input, cable input, and component input, and for the low low price of $999.99. It's lovely. It might have been a sale item, cannot remember. We need them with VGA inputs for our use, lots of either LCD, LED, or Plasmas are now coming out without that input. But, you can buy adapters to convert VGA to HDMI, you just usually lose the audio, and have to supply audio separately. I am sure there are dongles or adapters out there to solve that, you would just have to route the audio to your home stereo system instead of to the flat screen. One guy at work purchased a Samsung 46" for his wife last Christmas, based the size on the room he was going to put it into and the viewing distance. The 50" would have been overkill. And Samsung says their units will last for 60,000 hrs. That's a long time if you only use it evenings and weekends. We have Sony plasmas around campus that had been running 24/7 since August of 2003. The units are failing now, but not because of any bulb or flourescent failure, it is power supply and input board issues. Replace for $1,000.00, or repair for $700.00, you do the math. And we are of the opinion, it does not matter which major brand you chose, since we took apart one of the Sony's, and found an LG board inside it, lol!! It all depends on your use. Viewing angle is still better with plasmas vs. LCD, no idea about LED, we haven't used one yet. Also, we have not used any DLP displays yet, so I cannot say anything about them.

photobucket is your friend.

:lol: too funny, my attempt to say s o b s o b, was changed to "dude dude".

Boo hoo, dude dude, I didn't get a pm :P

Can you take a picture of the input at the camera end?

Sorry for your loss Ryan, I remember the original post. Think I gave a donation because I could not attend the Fish-a-Thon. I also have lost 2 family members to this, an uncle and my Dad. Irene was obviously a special lady to you. Please accept my condolences to you and your family.

Why do we drive on parkways, but park on driveways?

Like I said before Dara, you should post more pics of your "hobby". Maybe add some of your earlier stuff that I and others have seen before.

Yeah, seen that before not to long ago. One of our Biology instructors was using it to demonstrate unusual animal behavior, and challenging the students to try to figure out what it was doing.

I can't find mine right now to take a picture, but you can buy from an electronics shop(ones that supplies chemical degreasers/cleaners, etc....) a complete replacement nozzle for the spray can. You take the existing nozzle that you have to insert the stupid little straw tube into off, and replace it with this unit that has the nozzle and straw attached permanently. It also has a bit of a coil in it along with a six inch straight section. That way you can depress the nozzle with one hand, and aim with the other hand, and it pulses the spray. Worked really well for my application cleaning sliding volume controls, potentiometers, etc...........

$100.00 is on its way to you soon as I get it in the mailbox tomorrow morning. I put in the memo area........c/o "Sonny"(Santo)

Bulletin Toronto Hydro is warning customers of the rotating winter power blackouts that are expected to occur on: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 Mon, 7 Dec 2009 Wed, 9 Dec 2009 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 Tue, 5 Jan 2010 Sat, 9 Jan 2010 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 Thu, 14 Jan 2010 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 Tue, 2 Feb 2010 Sat, 6 Feb 2010 Mon, 8 Feb 2010 Tue, 2 Mar 2010 Tue, 9 Mar 2010 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 Sat, 27 Mar 2010 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 This is a province wide alert. The lack of power seems to consistently occur just after 7 pm on Saturday or 7:30 pm weekdays and is attributed to the excessive power required to run the goal judge light behind the Leafs' net.

here was what was reported in our local on-line news: http://www.tbnewswatch.com/news/Default.aspx?cid=72592 not a lot of details at this moment, maybe more to come..........................
