Definitely second the Sharp recommendation for LCD’s. They have the fastest response time and superb pictures. The Sony’s are nice, just very expensive with no imprvement over the Sharps. The Samsungs are also excellent, but I hate the reflective screen. That’s also one of my objections to Plasma sets. One cautionary note, get one with the last 2 numeric digits 64 or higher. The Sharps also have the benefit that they are extremely flat anf look terrific when hung on the wall.

It’s funny, Sharp tube TV’s used to be crap, and I wouldn’t have taken one a few years back if you gave me it to me, but for some reason their LCD’s are superb.

First of all, they all will work as long as they have the standard headset plug, which I think they all do.

There are two types of headphones you should consider. There are over-the-ear types that look like smaller versions of the old HiFi stereo headphones, and small in-the-ear phones which are like little ear plugs. The over ear type have an active electronic mechanism which cancels the backround noise, the in ear kind isolate by physically blocking the outside noise from entering your ear canal. The outside ones run on batteries, the ear plugs need no power.

Both types work very well, and personal preference pays a big part. I tend to prefer the in-ear type as they provide much better sound isolation than the over ear types. I find that on long flights (I used to live in Japan) the outside type give me a haedache. One caveat: the in-ear buds require an adjustment period. The first few times you try them they are likely to be quite uncomfortable. Stick with it, they always come with a variety of ear adapters, and you will find something that you can tolerate at first. After a couple of days you won’t feel them anymore. The in-ear buds tend to be a bit cheaper, and good ones can be found for $100-$200.

As for recommendations, the Bose are probaly the best of the over the ear type. As for ear plugs, I can personnaly recommend the Shure E2C or the Etymotic Research E6B’s. The Shure’s are a little brighter, the EM’s have a bit better bass IF you can get a good ear seal. You should be able to take some of these for a test drive at the Apple store, as they have a section with noise cancelling headphones.

Nice chart Afx, thanks for posting it. You would not believe how much misinformation there is out there on screen resolutions and screen sizes. I’ve gotten into arguments with people who claim at less than 50″ the human eye cannot distinguish 720P and 1080P. As your chart shows, this is rubbish as long as you are close enough to the TV.

FLU, as for your TV deal, the 2 46″ sets is better, as this is a later generation Sharp Aquos than the 52″ and 32″ combo. The 64 model (46″) was the first one not to be plagued with horizontal and vertical bands visible in some scenes. I actually own the 42″ version of this set, and let me tell you, it is incredible. I have my eye on the 65″ version ($3999 on at the NEX) for my living room after me move next summer.

An amazing forum for AV equipment is avsforum.com. Any conceivable question you could come up with can be answered there. You may recognize a poster over there.

[quote=FormerSanDiegan]Anyone know of any other non-emergency medical procedures that minors are allowed to undergo without parental consent ?

Navydoc? other medical pros ? Anyone ?
[/quote]

An interesting thing happens when a minor gets pregnant. She becomes emancipated to all decisions regarding the pregnancy, and can do anything pregnancy related without parental consent. In this way we can perform a surgical treatment for ectopic pregnancy without the parents ever knowing their daughter was pregnant. I am unaware of any procedures you can perform on non-pregnat minors, but in regards to their reproductive health you can treat STD’s or provide contraception without notifying the parents.

I remember having an interesting admission as a resident of a 16 year old with chlamydia positive pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and had one heck of a time dodging the issue with her mother.
