    Cable tv - HD help

    My in-laws have a wide screen HD tv, but don't have HD on their Xfiniti cable. Will not having HD affect the screen width/size. I've gone through every setting on both the tv and the box and I can't find anyway to make the picture fit the tv. The picture is oversized and you lose the edges...

    Photography forums

    Anybody here belong to a good photography forum? I'm looking for a site that is interested in the photography and not the drama. I'm not a total beginner, but I am at the early stages of learning techniques and my camera.

    Wow, close call..!!!

    Some years ago, I saw a strike hit my neighbor's chimney. It blew the top three feet of bricks all over the front yard, roof and out onto the road. I knew they were home, so I ran over to see if everything was good. Turns out, they were on a lower level covered deck at the same end of the...

    Scuba diving question

    I saw that they were quarantining the kids that got out in case they picked up anything in the cave. Does anyone have any idea what specifically they might be concerned about medically?

    Scuba diving question

    I swear I got claustrophobic just watching this guy enter the cave.

    is this fair?

    I fly out of a Class D that has Spirit and an on the field jet service coming and going. We get moved all the time. I just look at as more time in the air. Honestly, when I see Spirit's A319 waiting at the hold line while I'm doing 70 on short final, I feel bad that they're burning that much...

    Pattern traffic

    I'll preface this by saying that I'm not complaining. I'm simply curious about traffic pattern etiquette. Saturday morning, I wound up following a student from the local flight school around the pattern for a little while. He was doing fine except for the fact that he was flying the pattern...

    Flying Club operation manual

    Does anyone have an example of an operations manual they would be willing to let me see as an example? Our club has never had anything written down and we've decided we should. I'm looking for things like what to wash the windows with...making sure the hangar is locked...put the airplane keys...

    A couple guys in my club were of the same opinion. Thanks.

    weird vibration

    I had just touched down (C172) and was resetting the flaps/carb heat/trim while rolling. As I steered the plane back to the center line a bit, I had a strange vibration in both pedals. It only lasted a second or two. I put the brakes on to slow down and it went away. I taxied off the runway...

    I think I'm piecing it together.

    STC's

    Could someone please explain how these work? I found the list on the FAA website for our club plane (1968 172i) and there are quite a few. Everything from visors to seat belts to engine mods are included. As I understand it, these are for anything that alters the airplane from its original...

    150 vs 160 hp

    Would there be a noticeable difference other than speed between the two engines in a 172?

    Earhart Survived

    I watched the History Channel Earhart show last night. It was interesting, but certainly nothing definitive. Assuming the story is true, they found what they think was her final burial spot on Saipan. There was a dig there in 1968 by another group. They found 180+ bone fragments, but were...
