I'm with Tim... let's see some pics. My guess is either thermal cracking of the mud, or house settling (especially if it's a new build).

Yep, especially if it is a position which involves: - Financial responsibility (bank tellers, mortgage brokers, corporate accounting) - Heavy machinery (forklifts, trucks) - HazMat/HazOp (anything that can't be cleaned up with a wet rag/mop, or involves potentially dangerous situations, like 655VDC buss bars) - Customer facing (because, well, nobody wants to buy their computer from a doped up kid at BestBuy. Or something)

I'd also suggest drafting... lots of companies (and governments) need stuff drawn, whether it's a general contractor applying for the permit to build someone's backyard deck, to a county planner doubling the capacity of a sewage treatment plant.

Second-ing the "Use CD or DVD!!" comment. If you really really really want 100MB ZIP drives, Computer Express on Bethel, next to Microcenter, has a metric crapton of them. But really, a single CD has 7x the storange, DVD4 about 46x, and then there's USB flash drives and external hard drives.

Mid-80's weren't bad either. Cavs just couldn't come up with an answer for that damned kid out of UNC-Chapel Hill, and there were back-to-back trips to the conference championship for the Browns (only go get stuffed by some long-haired brat and a butter-fingered running back).

Yep, Chinese New Year festival at Worthington-Kilbourne HS two years ago. Last year her students played (I have a couple pics of that ), this year we'll be in Cleveland (thankfully no performances... grad school's driving her nuts). Also have to say "Thanks!" for pointing us to PeiWei for dinner that night... smaller portions and smaller prices than PFChang, so it's a win for both of us :bangbang:

Jewel, corset, priests. You do the biology. (You can tell they're priests by the crowd shot at the very end... those types of robes are only worn by monsignors/abbots, archbishops, and higher)

I used NiCd/NiMH AA for quite a while, but they're a pain in the butt because if you aren't constantly exercising them, you'll forget that they drain just sitting in the drawer, so you miss charging them up the night before something important, and when you get to where you're going, they're practically dead already. So then I switched to just regular old alkaline, but apparently sticking them in the fridge doesn't work anymore, or maybe I didn't let them thaw out enough. I dunno... supposedly doing that keeps them fresher longer, but it didn't work out that way at last year's Doodah parade, and I was rather pissed. The next set of AA or AAA batteries I buy are going to be those Energizer lithium jobs. I've never had a single problem with the lithium packs in my cell phone or the Canon I got from Haze's buddy, so I figure I might as well give them a try in my calculator (which eats AAA's like candy) or my wireless PS2 controller and see how they do.

+1 The system is broken in so many ways it's not even funny. Ask a doctor how much malpractice insurance is. Ask a nurse how understaffed hospitals are. Ask a pharmacist about drug patent shenanigans.

That's the line of the show :funny:

I give a wave when called for, and smile when I get one, but don't expect it anymore. What actually irks me more is when people are trying to do something nice (making space for a left turn into busy traffic, for example), but don't give any indication of their intention, resulting in two drivers each expecting the other to go first and holding everybody up in the process.

No, you've pretty much hit it on the head.

Sell? I can't even frackin' give this thing away!

What OS you using? You might be able to use that Dazzle video capture box I've been trying to unload for the past year.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish... turning an old-school TV or VCR into a monitor? Recording something you're watching/playing/doing?

If you're too cheap to use a proper transfer switch, *some* localities allow the use of a double-pole knife switch (aka the thing your friendly neighborhood mad scientist throws before shocking the corpse and screaming "it's alive!"). Mind you I said *some*, so again, check with a properly qualified residential electrician before doing this.

Yup, what Rob said. The service menu can sometimes be entered just by using the remote control, so search google for "service menu hitachi xxxxx", where the xxxxx part is your television's model number. You can also buy a large transparency sheet that has a convergence grid printed directly on it to help line stuff up so you don't accidentally squish the top while stretching the bottom, for example.

I'm still missing the how/why.... frozen to death in the fields? Ran over with the front-loader? .....?

Those comps look awfully familiar... oh yeah, this is why.

Recycle > Computer Express on Bethel, little hole in the wall shop next to Microcenter @315 behind the bar.

Likely one of the little transformers (these bastardss) has worked loose of the epoxy holding it down, or the varnish around the wires has cracked. Either way, it's pretty much a non-issue (apart from the buzzing in your head)

I've always been a fan of the Ohio State Suckeyes and various weed-eater fetishes.

Gawd that's old. But I'll still watch it again.

Get a roll of 3M double-sided at the hardware store. I go through this every year, since Duck's plastic is cheapest, but their tape is shit.
