Home theater system recommendations?

I'm going to be in the market for something considerably less pricey- I'll probably just check CNET for what's decent at entry level. I finally just bought a Panasonic Blu Ray player tonight after holding out for this long, and picked up my 42" Vierra Plasma less than a year ago. I'm not a Luddite, but medical stuff costs money.
 
Kind of off topic but I finally planned out how my backyard is going to look.

The fence will be red blocks/bricks. On the inside of that I will plant trees for some privacy.

The patio will be concrete with a stone finish. In one corner I will have a fire pit connected to my gas line. There will be four chairs around it. Then to the side of that I will have an outdoor table with 8 chairs around that. Past that I will have a BBQ that has a gas grill and a charcoal grill. It will be built into a counter with a rock finish. To the left of the BBQ will be a counter. To the right of the BBQ will be a sink. The counter will be hooked to the water and gas lines. There will be a TV inside the house that is facing a window looking out onto the patio. A surround system (how I tied this to this thread) will be wired from the TV to the outside. All of that will have a cover/roof so all the chairs and what not do not get wet. There will be a pool between the tree wall and the patio. To the side of the pool will be a tramp lowered into the ground.

Perfect place for parties and family get togethers.

I am debating on wether to put the tramp close enough to jump into the poolf rom or not. My youngest is very clumsy. 5 years old and has already had a cuncussion, broken arm, staples in the back of her head...

Ummmm .. I'd say no. Tell me more about this tramp, though. Pics or GTFO.

Little brother broke his elbow on the tramp a couple of years ago, when he was....8 I think?

The doctor then told my parent about how a lot of medical staff are trying to ban the sale of trampolines, because they apparently cause youth-injuries at an enormous rate.

I say you that you should do some reading on it, and it'd be recommended to avoid a trampoline purchase.

Well their mom is 5'9 (I like them tall), pale skin, black hair, DD cup. When she is in a good mood she is fun as hell to be around. She just has a tendency to make stupid decisions.
 
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Stoked again.

Well there would be rules to go with the tramp, a safty net around it and anyone other than my girls would have to have a note signed by their parents absolving me of any litigation or expenses associated with an injury.

So I think that clears up the close enough to the pool problem lol.

From what Ive heard, the fences don't clear up much of the problem, as kids will bounce off of it, collide heads, mash-teeth, break femurs, etc.

Also two at a time.

There is a country song that sums up my feelings about topics like this. It goes on about their cribs having lead paint, no seatbelts in the car, riding bikes without helmets...and they are still here.

Long story short is that we are trying to protect them from everything. Basic procautions need to be taken but they need to learn to take their lumps (some of them physical) and learn to over come them. You are not always going to be able to do everything on the first try. You will not always win. But that is ok as long as you "pick yourself up, brush yourself off and back in the saddle.." (damn Shakira is hot)
