Let the final exams grading begin! :fakesmile:

Uhh, I would rather pay for good than listen to something I hate....

Thanks for the offer Tyll but I have Netflix so I'll just go this route. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Thanks for all the great recommendations. This should get me started and maybe I can sort out what exactly I like. Tyll, I will definitely take you up on that offer if you are serious.

Looks like maybe I should look into Mog. I forgot about Bill Evans. I have The Paris Concert of his. I like it but it doesn't call to me like the others above. I have Dave Brubeck's Time Out. I'll try Take Five.

I have some Coltrane including A Love Supreme and it is ok but maybe not my favorite.

Very nice Mike.

I am curious about the new F series from Adam. They are supposed to be cheaper than the A series (and still front ported which is nice). http://www.adam-audi.../f5/description

Jeez Al. That really sucks. I am sorry you have to go through with that. I can imagine how scary that phone call must have been. Hope your dad gets better and makes is to his 90th.

I have been getting into jazz lately and was looking for recommendations. Here are some of the albums that I have and like a lot. Looking for more of this type of jazz (not sure how to classify what I like - maybe modern jazz?). Dave Holland - Extensions John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette - Gateway John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette - Homecoming Joshua Redman - Compass Miles Davis - Bitches Brew Miles Davis - Kind of Blue Charlie Haden - In Montreal Chick Corea - Now He Sings, Now He Sobs Keith Jarrett - The Koln Concert and other albums of his Don't really like big band sounding jazz or jazz with voices. Suggestions please!

Five Guys

Very sexy Ric. Man, that really sucks. Sorry.

Nice!

I am just going to eat (and drink) at Fonda San Miguel.

Will be eating bacon in the not so far future.

Haven't but I am really tempted. The only thing that is keeping me from getting it is that I already have a 35mm f/1.8 which is probably a better everyday focal length on a DX camera.

Very cool pic Al!

Not that I know of (if you want new, autofocus, Nikon brand, etc). If you want fast and cheap, I think you have to go with prime lenses. Please correct me if I am wrong. Actually, I guess there might be some stuff by Tamron, etc that might fit the bill. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/550954-REG/Tamron_AF016NII_700_17_50mm_f_2_8_XR_Di_II.html

B&H has been out of the Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.4G for a while but just got some in if anyone is interested. I am trying to keep myself from buying one since I spent $1200 on a toilet today.

Fortunately, my finals don't come back until next Monday. So I get to put off grading til then. I think I better stick to the bike/elliptic/ergo/swimming until I lose a bit more weight.

Ran a mile today. Hip felt great but knees were not so happy.

Happy Birthday Kevin!

^This!

Congrat Larry. Duke is great school.
