Have you thought about getting a nightlight that is a little on the bright side and change the cover on it? IE, some paper around the cover or a plastic cover that's slightly darker? That seems to be better than a dimmer - could probably save on electric bills too. Most of the dimmers I've seen...

don't forget etys as an option. they will block out all the surrounding noise, but will give you amazing details. Also they are pretty neutral which, IMO, makes them perfect for classical music. Finally, they are portable and if you get the ER4P, they can be driven out of a portable player.

"everytime i try to walk away THEY PULL ME BACK IN" That's godfather 3. Another great quote: "Borodin: Then I will live in Montana. And marry a round American woman, and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pick-up truck, or umm... possibly even... a...

Doug, Glad to hear you and your wife are okay. I hope the situation resolves peacefully and positively.

http://automobilemag.com/reviews/sed...sti/index.html Here's a comparo of the two cars that typify most of the reviews I've read. STi has the heritage and perhaps better looks/material/interior while the EVO is a better peforming car, although slightly. I read somewhere else that the STi has...

Have you tried doing some research at edmunds.com? They have a forum section where people talk about the pros and cons of cars (esp. the STi vs EVO). ditto on the G35 coupe. If you want sexy, a entry luxury car with some style has that. The STi and EVO looks young - chances are you'll impress...

Ric, You are welcome to swing by again to my place to compare the MPX3 with your SR71. I have VT-231 tubs in all three position (which sounds the best with my HD600s in my opinion). Problem is, I might be traveling so timing could be an issue. BTW - my 2 cents are the MPX3 has a much more...

The rose bowl was pretty awesome to watch (although from someone who went to a Pac 10 school, it saddens me each time there isn't the classic Big 10/ Pac 10 match). The LSU vs Iowa game was also an extremely close game as well. The Iowa kid who caught the winning touch down pass was a 5th year...

Don't forget the British tradition of trickery. We might send in steath bombers and B52s to blow up a bunch of fake planes and tanks! That might tilt the balance towards a stand-off intially. However, in modern warfare with carriers etc., an island nation is actually easier to attack versus a...

"Midway" is another great WWII film. That, and "A Bridge too Far" is also great. Some buddies of mine and I started a "WFC" - war film club.

I remember an interview a while back that had Lucas wanting a planet of Wookies instead of Ewokes in Return of the Jedi. But he also wanted a primiative cutlure versus technology thing which wouldn't work with Chewy flying a ship and all. Looks like he decided to go back to creating a planet of...

In the bay area here, the VW services are known to have some questionable reputations. I don't know anything first hand, but I have several friends who've vowed never to buy another VW in the San Francisco area. It wasn't just the after sale service that they complained about - the overall build...

I did hear a rumor a long time ago that Lucas wanted to wait until the prequels were finished, so he can unleash the entire Star Wars movie line on DVD. That, it seems, is no longer the case. Maybe it's now to drum up excitment for the last Star Wars movie? Probably it is all $$$$$$$$$$$$$...

Shoot. Didn't know you couldn't get the aero package without the sports package. But, in the 2003 reviews, some of the reviewers preferred the non sports package. Keep in mind, the sports package is only $425. There might not be that much in terms of performance difference. Maybe you should try...
