  1. http://www.tshirtbordello.com/images/dick-in-a-box-lg.gif Has worked for me for the past couple years. The only issue I had was went I asked the chick at Macy's to wrap the box in order to save me time.
  2. ^^ I have the same furnace. Buy them online. I hit Amazon and buy 3 packs of them, even Bryant's OEM ones, for far less than local. They even have Carbon ones that will remove any odors, etc. I tend to pop it in around the holidays when the wife is cooking and smelling up the place with food and sometimes burnt food
  3. LOL at UK. I'd be in for seeing a Denmark version.

    The Interview

    I think Sony should release it over the air for free for all to see in as many countries as they can. FUCK that fatty little bitch.
  5. It is nice. We had it on our old one too but this one is wireless all around so in your case you could keep the main switch in your main house and "lock" the door by disabling the receiver from there. Provided the distance would reach...which I've been to your place and know it would as I can open our door from 5-7 houses away.
  6. True. One thing the wife and I do though before we "lock up" the house for the night and check doors/windows is we do check to make sure the garage door is closed and then we hit the "lock" switch on the door open button. It essentially shuts the system down so even a controller won't open it until it's unlocked, which we do when we feed the dogs in the morning. It helps that our dog food bins on are on the shelf right outside the mud room door to the garage. Can't be too safe.
  7. ^^ My old 2003 Accord was like that. That's when I stopped keeping my registration or business cards in my car. Thought perhaps they would have finally combined HomeLink working with a chip in the car ignition or something.
  8. Gotcha. Our Chamberlain remotes are very like a keyless fob for cars. They hang on our key chains so we aren't exposed to leaving them in our cars. Only my Fusion sits out at night though. We both keep our spare keys in our bedroom as a safety thing. If someone breaks into the cars, house, etc., we can make more noise by setting off the panic buttons. Or if in the event of a break in we can let the cops in the garage or if we ninja escape out the fire ladder we can fire up the van and run the fuckers over. I use the two alternate buttons to control the lights in our house. One is wired to one of the lamps in our great room the other to the light switch in our kitchen.
  9. I hope someday to have a hot chick put a Craigs list ad out there looking to hook up with me the next time I blow the doors off the bakery section at Kroger. I bet even my wife would give me hall pass if that ever happens Meh....until then, I'll just continue to blame my son
  10. Just curious as I seriously don't know....what's the "need" or benefit of having a wifi door opener?

    ^^ I follow the above but I don't use the WOW Box as my router. Instead I have my cable going into my Router then into my Computer. My main computer is hardwired into the router, the rest are wireless. My main Roku is hardwired too. The Plex Server still isn't showing. Any tips?

    Does your router allow for bandwidth configuration? My ASUS allows me to configure the amount of bandwidth for various uses and IP Addresses.

  14. So a quick update for those that are interested. So far after several tests and two treatments, Xena has responded VERY WELL and in fact not only does she appear and act 110% normal, it's quite obvious that even she doesn't realize what's going on or that she's sick. Great news is after just two treatments, she is in FULL remission. Even according to the doctors it's no doubt because we caught it so very early which is key in any cancer diagnosis. The other good but bad news is that like 70-80% of Boxers it is the more aggressive T-Cell Lymphoma, but the news either way would not be any better really. The benefit here is that she did qualify for the study and all treatments are 100% paid in full. They even cover up to $1,000 in any treatments or medications related to side effects IF in the event there are any. As mentioned earlier, dogs get a very low does of Chemo and tend to not react badly. There are still chances, but much less likely for her to react or get ill as opposed to humans where the dosages are very strong. The treatments go on for another 19 weeks at two per week regardless. The only real side effect so far is thirst due to her being on Prednisone which should end here next week. I'll keep this thread updated and will insert some technical details regarding medications later as I'm sure this will help serve others who perhaps down the road might face a simliar story. The team at MedVet in Worthington have great to work with. They don't kennel their dogs and instead let those that are friendly all play together during her visits which last 4-6hrs. Thus in a way Xena thinks she's off to a play-date. She already seems to know where we're going each time we get ready. Total cost out of pocket so far for testing and xrays, MRI, etc. has been $2,700 but VPI Insurance has yet to kick-back their portion which is typically 50-70%. Not too bad all things considered. Stay tuned for more....

    I'm not seeing "connected devices" I see Home Connect>Search for Media Servers, but it doesn't find it. I See Netflix and Streamland but under Streamland, I don't see a Plex App option either.

    I too have been using it since it was beta. First started streaming my music from a server I have. Now have hundreds of movies on it too. I haven't used any of our BluRay players for months since. It does stream perfectly too. Works on both our Roku and Amazon Fire Sticks sets. Amazon comes through with a nicer interface but both get the job done. I have an iPad Air that I put on the wall with a BT Speaker both mounted right above our Treadmill/Elliptical area in the lower level. Now I can be active and watch a movie or show at the same time streaming away the lbs and movies. I even let my brother in law in Oregon tap into my server to stream content. Very cool indeed.
  17. :barf:that front end. I've seen a loaded one and it was tolerable. Driven by a fat ugly woman in her 50's. Fitting for her. Looks like a modern day Cadillac Cimarron.

    They are growing on me but I still don't like that ass. Wing would be ditched for sure.
  19. People in those countries drive like they are playing a video game....badly. No brakes, always speeding, who gives a fuck if the guy in front of you wrecks, just speed up and drive into the mess, change lanes and turn from anywhere anytime. WOW!
  20. If we do I'm there. Brother in law is a Ducks Fan and a rematch will be ridiculous fun. I only pray I make it back home again.
  21. Snap up the body here guys....awesome camera. Most of my work you've seen is from my 40D.
  22. It is very common in Boxers. Wife and I have had 5 total over the years and every one has had cancer in some fashion, but mostly in the form of benign tumors that were easily removed. There were 6 boxers at the cancer ward at MedVet today. I wish I could have gotten a picture of them all playing in the back room together but they wouldn't let us stay back there more than a minute or so. I'm not sure what the verdict is on the cell type yet. That will determine the course of the treatment / cocktail. The hardest part is knowing that whatever we do is just going to help but never cure it. It is all about quality of life for sure. Yep. It's pricey for sure. The good news is if I can actually say there is any, is that if it comes back the most common and aggressive type which are the T-cell based cancer, the treatment will be nearly free as we qualified for a test study. Otherwise, I'll just forgo some money and enjoy the time it gets us. Not sure yet what our pet insurance will cover. I know it helps a lot. This is the toughest part. Knowing that there's nothing I can do and no matter how much I can pay it won't save her life. That's about as difficult as not having the funding to do the treatments. Thanks guys. Today is a better day but still very difficult. She is my baby girl for sure. Sits at my feet whenever I'm at my computer. She's keeping them toasty warm as I type this too.
  23. Over Thanksgiving everyone who came over was doting on her and petting her and several guests asked about the lumps on her throat. She has a big neck and muscular so we likely didn't notice. I looked it up and go concerned and took her to the vet right away. Today we go confirmation that her stomach lymph nodes are enlarged and the cell testing yielded the results. The upside to Type B (which we are not sure it is yet) is that it's more responsive to Chemo and not as aggressive. Type T however, MedVet will cover the treatments in full/100% as they accepted her into a trial phase whereby she WILL receive FULL Treatment, but a select few dogs will ALSO get a new cocktail of drugs in the testing phase. I hope not. Our Vet at Linworth has had two Boxers with Lymphoma and talked to us about the treatment and that in most all cases it's NOT as bad as it is on humans because the dosage in humans does just about kill you to make you better, whereas the one for dogs is supposed to just be a mild does to put it in remission for a short term. I'll be sure to really dive into these types of questions with the Oncologist on Tuesday though. ^^ Agree. Hoping for this for sure, but either way, the outlook is grim. Agree. Going there Tuesday. Continued thanks for the insight. I'm definitely going to inquire. She's strong, healthy otherwise and not in pain now. Again, we caught it early. Agreed and we intend to. I'm not sure who it's harder on, Xena, my kids or me. Yeah....I love my dogs as much as my kids. Thanks for the insight everyone. Keep the info coming.
  24. Got some very bad news about a great member of our family. Our sweat heart little girl Xena, a 6yr old Brindle Boxer has been diagnosed with very early onset of Lymphoma. The downside is that it's never a good thing even if we've caught it so very early. Chemo is set to start this week. Going to Med Vet Tomorrow for our first meeting and should know within 1-2 days if it's type B or Type T. The good news is right now she's fine and acts 100% playful and as if nothing is wrong. The bad news is even with Chemo she won't likely make it past 2yrs. Could be 1-2 at most. Just wanted to share and get some input from others here who perhaps have been down this road.

  25. PM Mallard. I think he bought a nice one for his wife.
