  1. let me rephrase my earlier post.... he only picks on dogs who arent submissive. we also have a mini dachsund who was a runt and is very submissive. they get along perfectly. Its ok tho cuz my wife told me no more dogs...lol we already had him neutered when we got him. he was a rescue of sorts. the previous owner had him and his sister but never socialized them with other dogs. We adopted him when she was trying to give him to the animal control authorities who happened to be in the neighborhood picking up a very sick stray. She claimed that he was beginning to try to mate with his sister and had issues with going to the bathroom in the house. Turns out she kept them locked in thier kennels most of the time and her grandkids had terrorized the dogs with brooms, vacuums, sticks, anything they could ram into the kennel or stick thru the holes. We found this out about a month after we brought him home and noticed he would attack the vacuum and broom. we confronted her about his "issues" and she finally came clean. Even offered to take him back. Of course we refused and even offered to take the sister from her as well as she had been contemplating giving her away. The sister had already been given away. Long story short some people should not own animals and should research the breed before they drop $3200 on a pair of purebred pups! lol
  2. I have a male thats 5yrs. would love to have another one but he doesnt seem to like other dogs. I wonder if it being a puppy he would take to it because it would be submissive to him and its the same type of dog? Would love to have a little girl for him to play with. theyre so cute even when they get fully grown.
  3. If you are staying in the excalibur check out Dick's Last Resort restaraunt. Food isnt real cheap but the atmosphere late at night is great. definately not kid friendly unless its middle of the day. basically the waiters and staff are paid to be as rude as possible which makes for some fun interactions. (i.e. throwing of food, swearing, breaking things) I had a good time.
  4. I love vegas. sad that I moved away from there..... trying all i can do to move back!!
  5. stop throwing loads of hotdogs in your garbage and they wont stick around. have we learned nothing from The Great Outdoors?!? lol
  6. Pro baseball players have been juicing in one way or another since the game became a paid professional sport. Theres even record and accounts of players back inthe Babe Ruth era using things to get an edge. Even Babe Ruth, probably the most revered slugger of all time is believed to have been a cocaine user after long nights of partying to get ready to play the next day. does this mean he should be banned from the hall? I cant stand barry bonds for what type of person he is but as for the steroid issues its not like he was doing something nobody else was. I just hope griffey can put a few more productive seasons together in seattle and make a run at the HR title. if anybody deserves to own it otherthan Aaron, its him. HOF is a hypocritical thing anyway. Look at pete Rose. Didnt juice. just playedd the game hard. Sure he bet on baseball but not on his own team and he is banned. Should be in the HOF based on his merits and statistics while ACTUALLY PLAYING the game.
  7. sarkisian won leave Uw and I doubt riley wants a program that could be looking at possible sanctions from NCAA. Carroll just the biggest rat to jump off a possibly sinking ship. At least in seattle he can admit the players are paid and CALL them PROFESSIONALS .....lol
  8. sooo..... why is AMD considered crap by most I talk to? everyone says get intel for processor and stay away from amd. last time I did this AMD was leading the charge and intel was lagging behind. price diff is considerable as intel is about 2x the cost. any insight?
  9. the desktop is in the office and the tv in the bedroom so I would rather a second unit altogether. the desktop works fine but is 3+ years old. I was either going to get a new computer come tax time or build the media center. I think I would get more use out of the media center.
  10. After talking to my wife I decided since we alerady have a functional desktop and she has a laptop, I mainly just want to build a media center. I get lost when looking at the different processors, motherboards, video cards, and types of ram since I last went this route and dont know the real compatibilities of the different brands/components.
  11. that sounds like what I am looking for. what components did you use and how much was approx. cost? trying to sell the wife on this idea...
  12. I would be interested in seeing someones setup for this but my work schedule is definately an issue there. I work graveyard 10hr shifts and then work with horses 4-5hrs a day. crazy busy right now. as for a price range I was looking to keep it under $1500 (if possible) I will be using a 46" flat screen LCD as the monitor I want to be able to store between 400-600 dvd's total. I know with a straight rip they are almost 5gig apeice but also know there are other formats to convert to that are more compact without losing quality. So basically I need to know everything needed from which processor, mobo, hdd, and video cards are compatible. I dont need the newest hottest on the market or supposed best ever items but dont want a box of poo when I am done either....lol also, what software do you run on this sort of thing? Is it basically where you run like a windows 7 and use a third party software to organize and access the files? are there any such programs with a slick gui that work for this specific purpuse? I have looked at popcorn hour products but Im not sure thats what im looking for.
  13. Ok so its been about ten years since I built a computer. Not looking to really build a computer as much as I am looking to build a media center to hold my dvd collection that I can possibly use to surf the net on the flat screen as well. Looking to basically be able to put my entire collection of dvds on the harddrives and watch them with either a remote or a keyboard and mouse if need be. I have no idea where to start since technology has come so far. any suggestions or help? How many TB hd's can you run in a single system? need everything from video card to motherboard to harddrive suggestions. thanks for any help.
  14. Kelly got outcoached by sweatervest in this one. and of course pryor had to choose this game to finally wake up! lol. I said the other day that inconsistency on offense wwould doom the ducks in this game if they lost. was hoping I was wrong. And I although I think the defense played with tremendous effort and heart, Allioti is a tool who needs to find the unemployment line. too many open running lanes for pryor on 3rd down allowing clock eating drives. how hard is it to NOT blitz all out and keep a fast LB back there to spy pryor? Alliotti has never beed a good D. coord. and its time for a change. heck, it was time for a change 10 years ago. I believe theres a duck alum coaching defense in boise who is better than allioti. lol. But, hats off too Ohio St. perfectly schemed game and perfect preperations for this game. Im still not convinced that ohio state is a great team but they are a good team with a QB that has a chance to be unstoppable. I think if he had gone to a school that actually knows how to develop players at that position he would be there already. Better luck next year ducks.
  15. I may be one of the few who ccaught a couple TCU games this year. I believe they would have challenged for the pac-10 title this year. I am not going to say that they would have swept the league or anything like that but they are a very good team. As for the PAC-10 being overrated, I think there are ALOT of overrated teams in ALOT of conferences. I wouldnt say that an entire conference is overrated though. PAC-10 had some quality teams this year (stanford, Arizona, Oregon). But did have some turds as well just like every other conference. SEC has a couple good teams in Florida and Alabama but plenty of cupcakes as well. Big-12 only had Texas and not much else and they never really put together a complete domination of any one opponent. Big-10 probably the closest thing yo could call to an overrated conference but still, Ohio st., Iowa, and Penn st. are decent teams capable of putting together a a complete game and beating anyone out there. I have alot of respect for the MWC teams in TCU, BYU, Utah, etc. They are capable of knocking off the so-called "big boys" any given saturday. I believe there is alot of parity in college football right now and the talent level is spread pretty evenly around the country. Do we need a playoff? YES! Is it going to happen anytime soon? Unfortunately no.... So until 2012 at the earliest we might as well sit back and enjoy the games that are actually going to be played and not argue over hypotheticals. I remember wayyy too many duck fans complaining about missing out on the NC game a few years back and not enjoying the stomping of Colorado like they should have. Good Luck TCU against Boise St. I think you guys should win it pretty easily if you come out and play a complete game and minimize any mistakes. Same for Oregon. Should beat Ohio St. if they come out and are consistent on offense and minimize turnovers.
  16. tcu should have gotten florida and cincy should have been playing boise. would have been more exciting. but now you have something in common with the ducks. both having been shafted out of the bcs title game. you this year and the ducks in 01.
  17. yep. portland state IS a mistake. we need to play a road game againsthe so-called "tough" SEC. even if its with no return home game. lets go to tennessee or alabama and play. I think the reward is worth the risk
  18. TCU is a [language filter] good team and deserves a BCS bid and I think a title shot. Unfortunately a turd from the SEC will get one instead. You should still get an at large bid. I see BSU being the team left out this year. unless pitt upsets cincy. Yes you beat boise last year and stanford as well. But if you have watched stanford this year (as I have several times) they are a stronger team this year. Particularly in the QB play dept. BSU is stronger this year on offense than last year as well. I think the competition level is definately rising in mid level conferences. as for TCU murdering oregon, I dont know if it would be murder but I think it would be one helluva game and TCU would probably put up some serious points and I wouldnt give oregon an advantage in any area. I am the first person to scream playoff. I think an 8 team playoff with the top 8 in BCS would be exciting and perfect for deciding the NC. I also think teams that play in major conferences (FL and BAMA) shouldnt be allowed to schedule games against non fbs opponents and still have any shot at a NC. Its like playing a Juco team and saying you are deserving. what if oregon decided to schedule Western Oregon? Imagine the flack they would get from the media? LMAO.
  19. if the coke bottle doesnt work theres another trick I was shown. take a piece of bait like you are using and tie it in a piece of that wedding veil material (toulle?) and then tie a string to it coming out of the tank. then when the lights go off the little bugger comes out to eat the bait and gets himself all tangled in the mesh and you just pluck it out and flush it. I saw it used one time and it took out about 15 worms in one baiting.... hth
  20. http://www.walmart.com/Vizio-1080P-Lcd-Dvd-Home-Theater/ip/11037434 for gaming this is a great tv. buddy of mine has it hooked up to his ps3 and it rocks. I like vizio and think they are under rated because they arent a "big name" brand tv.
  21. I am sure he is regretting not dying in that shootout. I hope they give him some old school texas military justice. either send him to the gallows or death by firing squad. I do not believe it was a terrorist act. just a horrible crime by someone who "snapped". I dont buy his argument about believing that muslims should get a free pass in a conflict with others of the same religion. If you dont want to go to war then dont join the military. Plain and simple. They arent spending thousands of dollars training and making you a soldier so you can have a cush job stateside and reap some nice retirement benefits after 20 years. Too many people have gone into the military thinking its an easy way to make a living and then are upset when they have to go to war. I also think the minimum age to enter the service should be 21 because an 18 year old is not emotionally mature enough to deal with the consequences of their actions in battle. I think we are in for some serious reprecussions when the soldiers who have fought this war return home en masse. too many will be haunted by thier experiences in the middle east and many will become sufferers of PTSD, Schizophrenia, and other phsychological disorders. I think acts of this nature where soldiers "snap" may happen more and more. I hope I am wrong but it doesnt look good. Sorry for somewhat off-topic rant.
  22. check out pacific coral farms. they are a sponsor and have a section in the forum. last I checked the operation is actually in springfield.
  23. I think TCU deserves a shot at a bcs bowl before boise state does.
  24. im happy that tcu won. but SDSU....whoop de doooo.....lol. still alot of football left to be played and I dont think either tcu or bsu will be playing in the BCS championship game without a couple more upsets. still too much SEC bias among voters. Texas looks like a safe bet tho. still rolling along. And actually looking forward to Stanford putting a smackdown on notre dame and helping charlie "butterball" weis get his walking papers. hehehe
  25. wow....well....alliotti's D always has at least 1 [language filter] game a year. was kinda hoping it wouldnt happen this year. secondary got exposed badly every time the D loaded up on the run. I think the injuries to thurmond and the secondary finally caught up with the ducks today. valiant effort to get back into the game. Now its time to refocus and win out the rest of the year and still end up winning the pac 10 and going to the rose bowl. which is where they were probably going even if they win against the stanturd.
