  1. If anyone is looking for a job in sales or has experience in sales do not hesitate to contact me. I have been working here since September and love it. We have multiple offices, Columbus, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Dayton, Indianapolis, etc.

    http://jobs.tql.com/ This will give you an idea of what the job entails and what kind of company we are.

    It will be a commission job after training is completed (training pays well) and the benefits IMHO are great.

    Hope I can help someone out.

  2. When I worked at the scooter shop I rode those up to 55 MPH...extremely unstable at those speeds. That is actually the same one I high sided after someone pulled out on front of me. They flip....hard.

  3. The Fiancee and I are looking for a house, really want a fenced in yard, blah blah blah. Never bought a house before, never really looked for one. Does anyone have a trusted agent that can find us a good house for a good price. We have a budget in mind and want someone willing to work within that budget. Thanks in advance

  4. Yeah, they moved all of the R&D aircraft to a new hanger, they are all crammed in there and you really need to watch you head. The XB70 is one of the coolest aircraft I have ever seen, and they also have the test bed YF-12 which was the interceptor version of the SR71. Next to that is a prototype drone that could be carried on the back of the SR71. I could spend days in there.

  5. Tons of stuff, there is the obvious things like Bockscar (B-29 Superfortress) that dropped the 2nd atomic bomb. I was there last year and had not been for a long time. Much more interesting as an adult, even though i loved it as a kid.

  6. to some extent you get what you pay for. You're going to have a little picture distortion at the $300 price point.

    But basically there are only 4 major manufacturers of the actual SCREENS for modern LCD TV's. LED's might be different, but for LCD's:

    - LG (like the cell phone company. I believe the largest manufacturer as far as volume)

    - Visio (sells the most actual TV's, even though LG sells more screens. Bigger in Plasma than LCD or LED)

    - Sony (makes their own shit)

    - Samsung (makes their own shit, then sells the technology to the other companies after it's no longer new. IMHO, some of the best TV's if you can afford them)

    For a bedroom TV, I'd honestly just find the cheapest one that has a screen made by LG and call it a day... I bought mine years ago, and I literally looked at a Magnavox and a Polaroid that were both 32" LCD, and after a little research, I found that the screens were exactly the same. Literally from the same factory.

    Other stuff to consider with budget in mind:

    - how good of a signal are y ou going to be putting into it? Most HD satellite and cable channels are only broadcasting in 720. DVD's are also 720 (i've been told).

    So buying a 1080 (or whatever's better than that now) is only worth it if you watch a lot of BluRay discs.

    - the "processor" speed and quality is what actually avoids the "ghosting" of images and stuff. Find a sporting event on TV at the store and just see which one looks best to you. I didn't see a compelling reason to spend the extra money on a samsung with the awesome electronics versus the polaroid that was the same size and several hundred dollars cheaper...

    www.edealinfo.com has good prices on stuff if you're really trying to stay under $300

    There are only 3 companies that make their own components from start to finish...and Vizio is not one of them. The three companies are Samsung, Sharp, and LG.

    Sony is contracted with sharp for their screens as well as has some of them from Samsung for certain sets. The factories (sony and Sharp) are literally right next door to each other. Vizio, is a mixture of parts from many manufacturers, plain and simple. Not to mention the parts produced for off brand TV's are either lacking on the technology or the are from previous production runs.

    LEDs have LCD screens, the only thing that changes is the way the screen is backlit. LCDs have CCFL bulbs, whereas LEDs have....LEDs.

    DVD's are not HD at all.

    Max, as for your request, you should try and find a TV with front facing speakers as this will be the only thing that will produce the sounds you are looking for. If that is not possible, LG is considered the best when it comes to sound on the smaller sets.

    Ideally you would be looking for a 120hz, 720p TV...which I do not believe is carried/produced anymore. My recommendation would be a 32" LG 720p model number 32LK330. On sale at HHG (or wherever with price match) for 319.99.

    I have a Sony 1080p with front speakers in my bedroom that I love, it is three years old but if you can find one the model number is KDL32S5100 (I think).
