    I outed my injury in another thread and I'll revisit it here. It's upper body, a broken 5th rib. I can't exactly rub some dirt on it and get back in the game. And, after watching the USA lose to Canada, I discovered it not only hurts when I LOL, it also hurts when I cry.

    Unfortunately, I was unable to make this trip. :( I have one of those proverbial upper body injuries--a broken rib--discovered this morning on an xray which was being taken while Al's bus as leaving for Duluth. I'm listening to Hennessey and hoping for a win.

    OMG!

    I tuned in late. In first round, bakers had to make cupcakes inspired by pregame meals, I think it was. Somebody made a sushi cupcake with a little piece of raw tuna on top. Matt liked it. Now, they're baking 3 different cupcakes, inspired by team colors and logo of the LA Kings.

    Anyone know if Al is actually taking a bus to the Duluth game? Living in the Duluth area, I was trying to fathom how he secured tickets for this game, I was lucky to get a single ticket is all so far.

    Yes, Al's taking a bus to Duluth. He had to pull some strings, twist some arms and charm some women but he's got the tickets for one busful of Sioux fans. The demand was great enough for a second bus, but he exhausted his powers of magic/diplomacy/wheedling getting the tickets he got and is taking only 40-some people on the one-day trip to open the new arena.

    Who has a HD TV ?

    Like DS said, it all depends on a couple factors:

    A) Is it being broadcast live in HD?

    B) Was it filmed in HD? (most local programming, older shows, and some smaller channels still film in standard definition...so even if you watch the program on a channel labeled as "HD", it will only be of SD quality)

    Also, on a side note (someone may have mentioned this already), but HDTV shows are only broadcast in 720p...not true HD which is 1080p. It's still better than SD, but not quite what your TV is capable of if you have a 1080p TV. A blu-ray movie is 1080p, so if you watch one of them, it should be higher quality than even HD television.

    Also, ScottM, it doesn't matter which plasma TV you buy when it comes to plasma and glare. They all have glass screens, meaning they also produce glare. I think the main difference in a premium brand vs. a lower brand is the quality of the bulb. A lot of TV's probably share all the same components internally, but the bulb difference is the main part. That difference being how long they typically last...or so I've read. A little research might be in order. :)

    Thanks, DS & Big for the info. My HDTV is 720p, not 1080p, and I am adjusting to it; last night I thought pretty much everything I watched looked great. I'll be using the DVR for the first time tonight to record the hockey game and I'll be shopping for a Blu-Ray player this weekend.

    I know I'm showing myself to be a real techno-boob, but could someone help me out? Am I correct in my conclusion that even on the cable company's HD channels, not all the programming is high def? Some shows, some commercials even, look better than others in Midcontinent's Grand Forks area high def tier of channels (the 600's). Is a show really in HD only when it's on an HD channel AND the picture being broadcast carries that little HD logo?
