    Also, even if you have Reading Pane turned on, you can Right-Click the email and choose Delete from the menu without actually activating it.

    You probably have Preview Pane or Reading Pane turned on... To turn it off, go to the View menu and you'll see there where you can do that.

    Thanks for that feedback ... wasn't sure if it was "just me" or not. I'm quite OK with having to jack it higher to remove the wheel. Yep, I have pulled the pumpkin/driveshaft and lubed it and I even checked for axle alignment (no shim needed at the pumpkin/driveshaft tube) and I even swapped the inner/outer brake pads, changed the pumpkin oil. Before I put it all back together I will be lubing the shock & link pivot points. As they say, I am "all over it"

    So far I'm really enjoying having the lift adapter; however, I found that even with it, I had to jack the bike up higher in order to remove the rear wheel. Is this the "norm" or am I missing something? If it's the norm, perhaps Carbon One should make the legs longer...???

    well that makes a lotta sense (cents)

    And I have been running Windows XP since it came out along with AVG anti-virus, harware firewall, etc. and I've not once had a virus attack or a system crash. Times are changing tho and neither MAC nor Linux is totally "virus-proof" any more. Those of us who take various precautions such as you've mentioned above are the "smart ones" ... there are a lot of folks out there who don't do these things and tend to live under that "false sense of security" because they think their MAC or Linux box is "virus-proof". (just a word of warning I give ... folks can take it or not, makes no diff to me)

    I'd suggest you're living under a false sense of security.... unless of course you never connect to the internet. The fact is, there are viruses that attack MAC's as well as Linux OS ... they just aren't as common. And there is anti-virus software for both of those OSes.

    Folks can "chastise" me all day long for buying Iridium plugs but it's my money and my preference and that's all that matters. As for the Champions, I've never had good performance out of them but they're good for lawnmowers and chainsaws LOL

    Any good quality Vinyl spray paint found at places like Walmart, Canadian Tire, automotive paint suppy stores, etc will do the job and it won't affect the chrome buttons...those you can just wipe it off. I did the brown seat on my '87 ... changed it to grey and it did a fine job.

    I think "person of substance" is more appropriate... However, the following could also apply... Differently Weighted gravitationally challenged horizontally challenged. horizontally gifted

    I installed NGK Iridium plugs ... DPR8EIX-9 ... a "tad" expensive tho. I'd never use Champion ... never never never.

    Great pic Brian ... that area is known as Coal Harbour and is taken from the seawall along Stanley Park. To the right of the pic ... one of the buildings is where Nina works and I'm about 4 blocks away. It definately is a very vibrant and beautiful city but it's not without it's "big city troubles". One of the interesting and probably different things about Vancouver is it's diverse cultures. You can walk down the street and out of 100 people you pass, 5 of them might be caucasian...the rest are from almost every other country with the majority being Asian.

    I should clarify ... that Youtube is a new ad. I'm not sure who's responsible for promoting the Olympics outside the local area. I think this particular ad is more to promote BC in conjunction with the Olympics. Here's the local newspaper blurb... http://www.theprovince.com/travel/government+releases+star+studded+tourism/2445800/story.html

    So, I'm wondering... how many of you "south of the border" (or anywhere outside of Canada) are aware of the 2010 Winter Olympics here this year? How did you hear about it? Are you coming? Does our advertising adequately promote it in your area?

    As with my " I " basket ... it seems you have to "badger" Yamaha sometimes to get satisfaction. Point being, don't take "NO" for the first (or even third) answer. They tried to pull that "normal" & "characteristic" B/S on me too.

    My New Years resolution involves FINGER exercise. Specifically, I have resolved to exercise my fingers in areas other than typing posts in this here forum unless I have something constructive to contribute.
  18. SilvrT
    heh... makes me wonder how folks with bigger hands/fingers can play an accoustic ... mine are small and I have trouble keeping away from the adjacent strings...but that could just be my inexperiance...
  19. SilvrT
    I think you're thinking of a classical coz neither my acoustic nor Nina's daughter's acoustic have either a wider neck or nylon strings.
  20. SilvrT
    heh... Brian... I just noticed that we're sitting there with pop and Gatorade ... great advertising for that establishment LOL !
  21. SilvrT
    Thanks... some good pointers and yes, some have been mentioned. I've been following some of the lessons at justinguitar.com... great stuff. When I was showing interest in having a guitar, I indicated I wanted a Classical because of the nylon strings, 3/4 size, etc, etc but the wife and her daughter felt the acoustic would be better due to the difference in sound... I dunno why. I practised some more last night after a 2 day rest... it was easier on the fingers and I'm starting to feel that they are toughening up. Was working on A, E, & D chording and changing between the 3 ... seems to be coming along pretty good ... I'm really enjoying it and having a blast! I'll be taking the guitar to a shop either this weekend or next week for setup as suggested. Thanks a bunch guys and it's great to have others to chit-chat with and share ideas and experience, suggestions, and just to have others doing the same thing to communicate with.

    Happy New Year back atcha and to all the members of venturerider.org !!

    LOL... considering how my "singing voice" is... the frogs will have to handle the lyrics
  24. SilvrT
    Already got one... thanks.

    I'm going to look into having it re-strung with those strings (or something). I don't seem to have a strength issue in my hand or fingers but since I have small hands/fingers, stretching them for correct chording is a bit of a challenge. I also find I get pain in the wrist and elbow coz I can't seem to get the right "hold" ... but I'm working on that... just a matter of time I know. I'm so looking forward to the day when I assemble my own ROCK BAND! :rotf:
