DRAMAQUEEN

I WANTED to use crete , but when i put the real deck up next year , itll just save time , and shes going to want what i put up tomorrow to just be her mini landing on the other side of the house, this is just a pain in the ass really , just tryin to nickle and dime everything, i told her for about an xtra 40-50 bux it will be done right and safe, but no , she s pinchin them pennies..

quick idea , probably would be alot stronger i think igoing to pick up a few half inch sheets of cdx plywood to put on all four sides, well maybe the 3 sides without the stairs.. with screws every foot or so tying in the posts and cdx im sure that ll keep it pretty solid

she doesnt wanna buy concrete .. or anchors.. or carriage bolts... it was tough to even convince her to buy dek blocks ... oh well 2 hrs of work 200 bux lol

id do that if it were not off the groung so much, its weird ive so many decks from $1 - $15 k and im having a damn issue with this 100 dollar pos freestand... idk man im just gonna do a crossbrace on the back and on the inside ( that will be closest to the house ) and lock the stairs up and crossbrace the stringers .. its only temp for the winter and its a trailer so im sure it ll be fine

well im laid off work so now im off to side jobs... Bult tons of decks , but none freestanding 4 feet off the ground.. All have been ledgered to the house and post/beam on the rim... So now this lady wants a 4'x4' platform with stairs.. my only concern other than height is will it be stable with just the 4x4 posts sitting on deck blocks? its very uneven soft ground.. wouldnt be an issue if i could just crossbrace the posts but for some reason she doesnt want that .. bottom line.. a lil square 4x4 platform about 4 feet off the ground, best way to be stable?

i have the BJ 2 .. it takes a beating i tell u that been dropped in snow, puddles toilets dropped , thrown etc still kickin after a year.. but its not as " entertainment" as a blackberry .. so business like.. BB has so many settings for ppl under 80 its sick, lol i dunno if u can try it out for 30 days or whatever att gives u... I actually traded my i phone for the bj 2 just due to MMS sending, since u cant send or receive pics or vids normally thru text.. nor does it even have a video recorder.. but another neg about the blackjack 2 is it seems to freeze up , takes forever to delete things.. Even b4 all the damage its really slow and att s 3g sux ass .. even not on the 3g network just scrolling has lag ... go w the bold man

have a 360... pickin up a ps3 w my new tv

thanks guys.. as far as protection plan..... i always fork over the extra dough... i never have luck w electronics.. im just hopin this tv looks good when im kickin all ur asses in GH RB, NHL and MADDEN jk

Yea man its ALOT tougher than i thought .. not just throwing out 2k for a tv but to find the best one for that amount .. shit id love to have a pioneer elite plasma or a xbr8 but i just cant do it , and there are soooooooooooo many options and different reviews on every tv in the 2k range its sick.. If it wasnt for that panasonic plasma and i was all for lcd it woulda been between the samsung 6 series, the LG 7 series and the sony w series ( woulda bout sonys Z series if it came in a 52 hands down but its only up to a 46 nomatter what im gonna be happy with it, Should i actually pay for a calibration , or are there places online where u can find it for a specific tv

we finally have a winner .. FINALLY lol , 2 months later after about as much research as a person can do , with multiple 3rd party opinions .. no biased opinions what so ever, im going with the 6 series samsung lcd... the only negative i found was it has more glare than the typical lcd, which isnt near ass bad as every plasma i saw under every condition. It has amazing color detail only second to in my eye a xbr8 or the 8 series samsung .. So if anyones looking for a new tv, around 50" and wants to save lots of research go with this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1202649424157

Yea this kind of kicked it off... Ultra Hi Def coming out supposedly around 2015..... Quite the resolution to , something 4 times better than 1080 p http://digg.com/general_sciences/Ultra_Hig...on,_22.2_audio)

Might be a re post but cool, none the less http://hubpages.com/hub/50-Ultra-High-Defi...ista-Wallpapers

Just watched this documentry at a buddys houseon his 52" xbr8.. omg , im not life much of a wildlife , nature buff, but this was some of the most unreal HD ive ever seen.. If you wanna show off blu ray without a pixar movie, get this http://shopping.discovery.com/product-66867.html SORRY that was the discovery channel version, which i believe is in 1080i, THIS is the good one... a must buy imo http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...&id=1622559

Well... its down to 2...... i wish they were both of the same type ( lcd or plasma ) but nope, gotta make it tough either The samsung lcd 650 $2099, such a badasslooking tv in every way or panasonic 85u plasma.. amazing pic + 480 hz refresh comparison-- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id...1093&catId=

Yea thanks guys , again .. So i went up to BB AGAIN, this morning and compared the samsung 650 plasma, the panasonic 85u ( <-- i believe thats the model number ) and the samsung 650 lcd .. ( the lone samsung lcd in my first post) After close observation, i will say both plasmas seemed to have darker darks, and i mean every color red , green, black .. More of a rich picture , but i still liked the crispness and resolution of the lcd better .. So im glad i made this thread, cuz i really was leaning towards plasma as of 2 days ago.. Now all i gotta do is fork over the $$$$ the ONLY reason i would go with the samsung 650 series plasma is cuz of the great price , which is now $1699 opposed to the ( now marked down $600 samsung lcd 650 series ) now at $2099... Only reason really is cuz i wanted to only spend around 2k, but if i went with the plasma , i could get the tv, ps3, stand and cables for about the same price as the lcd.. So now thats my new decision .. heres the 2 comparison--- Also through the panasonic plasma in there , like the 480 hz refresh rate and the price , compared to the samsungs 60 hz refresh http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id...8477&catId=

thanks man i think my viewing distance is about 8 feet give or take a foot.. but yea , makes complete sense about how close your viewing

more reviews http://www.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lcdtv/compare-reviews.php

yea man, im really digging the 650 series samsung lcd, But the same ToC samsung 650 series' price is killer 1700 for a badass plasma.. now its just do i wanna spend the extra 500??? Bottom line i think is gonna be the 650 series samsung, and the W series sony , which i just saw is now 1999. on black friday .. Ahhh damnit, it just gets more damn confusing......... So if u guys could help me with this new choice.. anything u know on either

Yea i really like the new LG stuff, for some reason i always thought is was less quality compared to the samsungs, sonys etc.. buut they are very nice

I checked these out to it must be at least ( for lcd s ) 120 hz refresh rate.. Cuz i dont want this outdated as quick as my laptop

Thanks for the replies guys.. Its gonna be in my livingroom, i guess u could call it under " controlled lighting " it can be bright as hell but with the shades down its damn near pitch black... as far as use?? everything slow movies fast action movies , blu ray , basically any type of fast moving game COD, Madden, Guitar hero etc //.. The one i was really hooked on was the sony W series, then kinda got hooked on the look of samsungs Touch of Color screen/ frame .. Plasmas are a toss up , consumer reports rated the samsung 550 1st, the $6000 pioneer elite 2nd and the samsung 650 series 3 rd .. Now im just reading some reviews on HT.com.. Ahh this is so much more difficult that i thought it would be Heres the HT reviews http://www.hometheatermag.com/equipmentreviews/

Well so far according to what ive seen on BB.com for reviews and the consumer reports ratings im down to a few choices , so if anyone has any input please feel free to chime in, Im looking to have it in home by next weekend... Also still not sure on plasma or LCD yet so any opinions there are also welcomed Plasma Samsung PN50A550 ( top rating by consumer reports @ 81 <--- score ) $1899 ---- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1202649424291 samsung PN50A650 ( $1699.. How its cheaper than the lower class model above im not to sure of ) ---- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1205537515466 Panasonic TH-50PZ85U ($1899. ) ---- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1200703056434 LCD Sony ----W series KDL-52W4100 $2099. ---- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1206749957185 Samsung ----LN52A650 $2099 ---- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1202649424157

lol.. soooooo wrongi grew up in northern minnesota , usually about 8-10 feet a season , front wheel drive , gear down?? lol worst idea ever, slide it into neutral and just relax , if ur all tense like alot of first timers are doin 50 then all the sudden hit black ice n go sideways ull just make it worse.. so yea, no downshifting if your sliding , neutral ftw

I d love too... how.. oh and on top of my computer ignorance , my laptops screen is gone so im connected via s cable to my tv.. blurry as shit , so its hard for me to read all the things i can do

well i bought a portable WD 320 GB hd and fot all my pics, vids movies music and some business stuff transfered over to that , now since i really dont know much about computers i thought it d be a fun lil practice since i dont have anything left on this one i care about ( as far as files at least ) .. So what can i do , How can I erase entire histories, pages , hard drives etc.. yea , i am this slow w computers ..
