Anyone seen it? I'm taking my 10 year old son and some of his friends on Thursday. I can't wait.   Anything I need to worry about as far as language, etc.? I'm guessing the PG-13 is all about the fighting.

I saw this story earlier to day and it got me thinking: Who wants to live that long?   I guess in some ways it would be pretty cool. You'd get to see a whole lot of awesome stuff go down, you'd get to meet all kinds of great people, and you'd get to experience all kinds of new and interesting...

I just got a little notice in the mail of a red light violation from a trip through Illinois last month. Apparently, stopping for a full 2 seconds before turning right at an intersection isn't long enough for the good folks in charge of the quaint Hamlet of Fox River Grove, Ill.   The fact that...

Anybody had this? I'm looking at making a BIG buy of some favorites and I want to try a few new things. Anything that's come out in the last year that people are REALLY enjoying?   I'm looking for Virginias, English blends, and Balkans/Oriental blends here. I've had enough of Burley and I only...

I need something to boost the audio (particularly dialogue) of my blu ray movies. I can't do a full on 7.1 surround system due to space and budget constraints. I can't watch a movie without constantly adjusting the volume between dialogue scenes and action. Most of my movie watching is done late...

I'm looking for an Android based tablet to use in my home brewery. Because of the environment I'll be using this in, I don't want to spend an assload of money on the thing. I do not want an iPad. I've looked online at many offerings. There seems to be quite the range in prices. I know that with...

I know I've been away for a bit, but I'd like to wish one and all here at CP a happy Thanksgiving.

Ray Bradbury's writing took me many places as a young man. An important author and I'm saddened by his passing. I'll be re-reading some of his works over the next couple of days. If you haven't read him, I hope that you will.

I don't know who here goes geocaching, but it's something our family enjoys. I'm stuck on a puzzle for a local cache and I've maxed out the hints the hider is willing to give me. I'm told that if you know how to play Scrabble, it shouldn't be too tough. Basically, the following picture needs to...

My son is 9. He's pretty much average size and build for an athletic 9 year old. He's been shooting bb, pellet, and .22 rifles for a couple of years now. I want to get him a shotgun to get him ready for hunting season in a year or two. I know we have quite a few shooters around here so I thought...

This is not a big deal at all, but I thought I'd mention it. Used to be that whenever I came to CP I was greeted with a nice little smoking cigar icon in my address bar. This little cigar was also parked next to my CP bookmark in my bookmark toolbar. Now, it's a blue "V" looking thing that is...

Is there a way for me as a user to move the calendar and birthdays so they're below the status updates? Can I make it so I don't have to see them at all? I can minimize them just fine, but I'd like them to just be out of the way completely if possible. I don't really look at these and enjoy...

I'm looking for a decent video editing program to edit some of the kids' baseball and dance escapades and some vacation stuff. Any suggestions for something that won't break the bank? Looking for PC stuff, preferably Windows 7 64-bit compatible.

So, I get home from a long weekend watching my UMD Bulldogs winning the national championship and enjoying the 2011 Twins home opener to find yet another package waiting for me. There was no note, but I assume this is yet another newbie strike. I'm running out of adjectives to describe how...

Guess I'll be going to the PO this week once I figure out to whom I should put the spurs.

I guess all hopes of 2011 being a year of peace and harmony around here are lost. My mailbox has been completely obliterated. Luckily, it's 200ft from the house, so my domicile has been spared. I thank you for the package, Mr. Lamson. Someone is going to pay for this, though. I hope you're...

Don't forget to light up your pipes tomorrow, gentlemen. February 20 is International Pipe Smoking day! :D

So, it got down to -31F overnight with -52F windchill. As a bonus, our power went out at about 2:30AM and didn't come back on until 3 hours later. As another bonus, our backup generator apparently decided to give up the ghost at some point between my last test 2 weeks ago and last night. So, we...

Whisky in a can. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but my initial thoughts are not positive. ???

Finally, I can get through the winter with minimal shrinkage. :thumbs: A toque for your coque.
