OK

Maybe there was a chisel in the bread?

OK, I see that the Damascus blade has a "cobalt alloy core sandwiched between 37 layers of stainless steel" and the regular DP is cobalt alloy core sandwiched between 2 layers of ss. I am just not sure what effect this will have on the knife when cutting.

Do you know what is the difference between the DP and the DP Damascus, besides the Damascus looking cooler and being slightly more expensive?

Didn't notice the handle on the Flash, definitely not my style. I am wondering whether I should start with a cheaper knife like the Tojiro before moving up to the Hattori (in case I mess it up sharpening it). I can always use it as a second/backup knife in the future. Also, I wonder what my husband will think when he find out I spend >$200 on a single knife??? I don't like the handle on the Shun so that is out. Some people have complained about the Torjiro PS chipping, for instance when cutting bread. I wonder if that if that is actually that common though.

Yes, very nice Andy.

What are your thoughts on the Tojiro Flash or Powered Steel Chef's knives? Tojiro Flash 9.5-in. Chef's Knife - Tojiro Chef's Knives Tojiro Powdered Steel 9.5-in. Chef's Knife - Tojiro Chef's Knives

Cool, we need good teachers in the high schools! I know a couple of people who did the same thing. Hope things work out for her.

Happy Birthday Brent!

Sounds good.

Al, glad to hear you made it back safely. Sounds like a pretty crazy trip. I assume Claire has some sort of academic position? Adjunct? Universities have been hit pretty hard, especially in Cali. That is too bad. Exactly what I was thinking. Sorry about your friend Mike. Congrats Aimess and bhjazz!

Happy Birthday Raffy and Jin!

I am quite liking the A5's.

Paging Jacob and Greg....

Yay!!!

Reminds me of when I used to set a place at the breakfast table for my dog growing up... until my mom found out.

I thought about getting a pair of A2's for my dad for his desktop setup. Right now he has a pair of Polk R150's and Sonic T-amp. The A2's would certainly have a smaller footprint. I wonder if they would sound better. The A5's sound a tiny bit boomy but perhaps some isolation pads or rubber feet would help that. Other than that, they sound great and are certainly loud enough for the bedroom tv/ipod setup.

Bought a couple of plane tickets (both work related though) and got a pair of Audioengine A5's in the mail... oh yeah, and did a lot of work. I was going to use the A5's in the office but decided to put them in the bedroom instead.

^Yep, one of my favorite apps so far.

Having the power of the ipad has got me thinking about a small ipad... I mean ipod touch (can't get an iphone because I don't want to switch to AT&T). Mainly, I really like the ifitness app but don't want to take the ipad into the weight room at the gym. Also, I seem to have lost my Sansa clip so I probably need to get a new player for the gym. I have an ipad classic but it is a little too big for the gym. I think the touch is a bit smaller. Mac rumours says to wait though since it is due for an upgrade soon.

That looks amazing Jacob. I have some chicken cacciatore simmering on the stove right now.

Wow Vicki, that is quite a bit more excitement than a like to have in a day. Yikes.

Started major spring cleaning - now our house is a wreck.
