PS3 and Surround sound problem?

Filed under: Home Theater — admin @ 3:53 am

Jon Robson asked:

I recently got the Samsung HT-C453N surround sound system for my Panasonic Viera and a PS3 80GB and I’m having a bit of trouble with the surround sound element.

The system I got is below.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003DNSBIO/ref=oss_product

I set the system up with the DVD player that comes with the system, all the satellites worked amazingly with it. Me and my dad watched The Book Of Eli on it, and from the beginning we could hear clear cut sounds from the different speakers, the ambient opening was playing on the small rear speakers and everything sounded great.

I set up the PS3 and with a digital optical cable linked it to the DVD player, which is the hub of the surround sound speakers. I noticed, while audio was coming from all speakers, there seemed to be a lack of separation of channels, in that all sounds were coming out of all speakers. Not, for example, a gunshot ricochet from a scene coming out of Rear Left on it’s own, now it just blasts out of all. You’re left with a distinctly less crisp and entertaining sound. I read that setting the PS3 up to a surround sound was simple. We watched a blu-ray, Casino Royale, and the sound again, wasn’t really as clear cut and distributed as we’d have expected. Perhaps it’s how the film was shot but I’m skeptical.

The cable I got is below:

Could anyone offer help or advice, perhaps the cable I need should be of better quality, thanks in advance.
Putting the optical cable from the TV to the reciever/dvd player and having the PS3 sound setting as HDMI still doesn’t appear to cut it, I have it back as I did, it still appears as if there’s less separation but maybe it’s in my head. Thanks a lot anyway!

Was I wrong to make my boyfriend say no to his mom?

Filed under: Family — admin @ 4:40 pm

chrhn9 asked:

My boyfriend’s mom has a gambling addiction. She always goes to the casino and gambles away her money. His dad too, but he hasn’t asked his son for any money. The first couple of times, it didn’t bother me when she asked and he gave in. Then he went and opened a bank account under his name, but his mom would be the only one using it. She needed another bank account because she was having a lot of money coming in, but she didn’t want the government to know cuz she’s bankrupt. She even wanted a 46″ flatscreen tv, and had him open up a credit card at sears and charge it to it, saying she would pay him back. She still hasn’t yet.

Recently, she went to the casino agian, and gambled away everything. She overwithdrew the bank account that was under my boyfriends name by $400 and she over withdrew her own bank account by $800. When she got home, she asked my boyfriend for more money again to cover everything. He said no at first because he needs to save up for school cuz he’s in college, and he doesn’t have $1200 to spare. Then she even asked him to ask me for money, but he said no to that too. She then tried to coax him into taking out more student loans so she can pay her debt.

After I heard that, I flat out told my boyfriend to say no, and to never give her money again. He already has enough problems to worry about financial wise because he’s paying for college by himself. I’ve already loaned him the $400 to cover his bank account over withdrawal by his mom, then told him to close it so she can’t do it to him again. Plus she still owes him $1700 from other gambling debts and the TV.

She has 5 other sons and 3 other daughters too! But they won’t give her money, but my boyfriend is the nicest of her children, so she goes to him to get money. I’m now trying to get him away from all this crap cuz I don’t think it’s right for a parent to use one of their kids like this, when he’s the only one in college. The others are married and have a stable job. But my bf has to pay his tuition and buy books! He’s a poor college student, so she has no right to ask for so much money from him and ruin his credit by making him open credit cards and over withdrawing a bank account under his name.

Do I seem like a controlling ***** when I told him to never give her money again? We’re planning on moving into an apartment together next year (That would be my sophomore year and his junior year in college.) and I want him to be somewhat financially stable. And I don’t want his credit to be ruined at such a large age. I also told him to get the $1700 back from his mom when he moves out, so that he has that money to help pay rent. And i’m not the only one telling him that he was stupid to loan her money and a bank account. His other siblings tell him that he shouldn’t give her anything because she’s just gonna ***** him up and it will feed her gambling habit.

Which Pays better: Bartending or Doing Liquor Promotions?

Filed under: Beer, Wine & Spirits — admin @ 6:55 am

Shay asked:

I’ve been working in promotional marketing as a brand ambassador/promotional model for quite a while now and I’ve been booked for both non-professional bartending work and low end liquor promos. Anybody who does it knows that event and promotional work is very sporadic and now that I’m ready to go to college, I’d like to find a steady liquor serving gig to put myself though school. So which pays better, professional bartending or doing high end liquor promotions? Also I’d really like to bartend at a casino. So which place averages more tips for bartenders between night clubs and casinos?

Anything anyone has to tell me about Las Vegas will help a ton?

Filed under: Las Vegas — admin @ 11:24 am

bj asked:

I am going to las Vegas on my 21st birthday with a bunch of friends and none of us have ever been and have no idea what to do. My birthday is not until April but I was wondering when I should order my plane ticket and when I should book my hotel. I found a package on Expedia for 2 plane tickets from Minneapolis and room at the Trump hotel for 3 night for $830. So it will only be $415 per person which sounded good to me but I’m not too sure. It does not have a casino but it seems crazy nice! Does anyone have any opinions about where I should stay? Also I was wondering what clubs I should go to and anything at all!!! Like I said none of us have a clue what to do!

What to do in Vegas for a couple 24-28? Something fun, and different?

Filed under: Las Vegas — admin @ 10:30 pm

derrickisonline asked:

In order to recommend something that interests us, I’ll tell you a little about us, and what we’ve already booked. Money isn’t really an object. We want to have a good time.

We’re young 24 and 28. We will be checking out the casinos, but not super interested in that, not interested in the shows either. We want to do fun things that aren’t super typical.

I’ve already booked the following:

Sundance Helicopters – Helicopter flight over Hoover dam.
Sun Buggy Fun Rentals – Mini Baja race through the desert.

I’m probably going to book a spa treatment for my wife and I as well. Gotta get a good massage ya know.

Probably going to drive to ghost town Rhyolite for a photo op. Kinda boring but hey good pictures.

If I was going alone I’d check out the Bunny Ranch (LOL) but that’s out.

So as you can see we’re looking for the fun stuff, not the gambling, and shows.

Any good paintball joints? I also enjoy handguns and will be packing my guns, maybe an outdoor gun range?

Let me see what you got!

Tulsa oklahoma speedway good idea or bad idea for the greater tulsa area?

Filed under: Other - Local Businesses — admin @ 12:01 pm

Dukei asked:

this was an idea i had back in school.yet we were not ready then too commit as an city of investors and peoples.yet tally up what winston cup track takes in soley with one race.and you will see what $ Tulsa nd oklahona state are missing out on.the indy style could drape around the kestone lake area=very attractive scenary and the lafotune 500 stock car track could be built just between Tulsa and O:K:C bagging multi bliiions in revenue each year.and the idy style track also duals as an high speed moter cycle track.which gives me qand others a local place too test new space aged high tech Tron type high speed bikes.all wheel drive exeeding 300 M:P:H motor cycles racing untoo Tulsa’s bank account pockett book and the other races also tally one wealthy popular city of industry.alive again and prosperity reigns supreme.i know i have the BurnetT italian sounding name.and someof these enjoy race car tracks.not too mention the local indian casino’s all make megga bucks during these events.so why not put it too blue print tulsa?is mt Question too you.and the other is ment only for yahoo &oohay.commers.
Tulsa international Speedway would be its Title within the worldwide ranking charts. and lafortune 500 stock car racing track would be just as famous as winston cup 500 is in today’s world news papers and cable broadcast stations.

Movies that got bad reviews but you liked?

Filed under: Movies — admin @ 7:32 pm

Mr Anonymous asked:

One movie that got really bad reviews but I really liked was The Da Vinci Code. I don’t think this film deserved to get that many bad reviews. I thought it was actually good. I don’t know whether the bad reception was due to the anti-Christian content or because of the way it was directed but I really got into this film. I haven’t read the Dan Brown’s book so I can’t compare it to that. The plot really drew me in. The fact that there could be a conspiracy about the true origins of Christianity and who Jesus really was and if how the world would react if this secret was revealed, I just loved this part. I know it’s fiction but still!

Another movie that god bad reviews but I enjoyed was Quantum of Solace. I don’t get the **** towards Daniel Craig, I still think he’s the best Bond. This wasn’t as good as Casino Royale but it was still really good. The only thing that was bad about this film was its confusing plot.

What are some movies that you liked but everyone seems to ****?
@Mike S I’ve also seen Layer Cake too! You can see in that film why Craig was picked to play 007.
