Because of size I'd still rather have the LX3. Here's a good deal... Panasonic 12.1MP Digital Camera - dealmac.com

Nope, though a Goog search certainly makes me interested. Now to find an invite. Anyone got one? Thanks for the tip Dream.

Year! Cart so far, but gotta get rid of a few before finalizing (mostly sets)... Antonio Gaudi John Cassavetes - Five Films Last Year At Marienbad Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales Simon del Desierto Jean Cocteau's Orphic Trilogy Fassbinder's BRD Trilogy Criterion Collection: Great Adaptations Science Is Fiction - 23 Films by Jean Painlev

Okay, there's my Criterion recommendations... Antonio Gaudi Brief Encounter *L'avventura Band of Outsides (Bande

50% off Criterion DVDs/Blu-rays.

Zin.

Everyone I know who's happy with the A2s EQ them with 'puters. I'd say 'acoustic' on the iPod is your best bet, but you know the drill with the iPods EQ. That said the A5s are a huge step up and would fit on your desk (if I'm measuring your desk correctly). Back port firing, but I've bought the A2s for a friend and swapped them for A5s, which I also have*, after hearing both side-by-side. 'Huge' is not an exaggeration. I think the A2s are great speakers for the price, but the bloat is what I heard too. * House-sitting this month and have the A5s here and not sure why I really need anything else. As you probably know the A5s have iPod support with USB charging. Anyway, the Quads are better, but without the iPod support (surprisingly useful) and cheaper price.

Thanks.

Not out yet and way outside the price-range, but looks what's coming... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWm7FtVGmK4

Good to know Dusty. Mostly just as an alternative of the Peppermint. Likely Lavender or Citrus.

Just a preview, but... iPod & MP3 Headphones | Noise Cancelling Head phones - Bowers & Wilkins. Not so sure about those pads.

As my experience, and every review seems limited to, the peppermint, anyone know if the pick-me-up/tingling sensation extends to the other 'flavors' (except the mild/baby, I'd guess).

... and a few more.

It was over in the deals thread, but don't miss the free Macheist goodies. WriteRoom fan here. MacHeist nanoBundle

Forget about your alliance and the party specifics, just enjoy as two people on the House floor. I believe the gentleman objects.

Don't know those specific models, but the Lumix tends to not perform as well as similar Canon and Fujis overall in darkness/higher ISOs (800 and sometimes 400). Crisp, and saturated, but grainy. A couple of the Fujis tends to excel. The F200EXR for instance has a ISO 6400 at 6MP resolution & 12800 at 3MP resolution modes. Review here. And Grahame answered the Eye-Fi, but quick uploads from any wifi location to Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, Shutterfly, etc. is a hugh plus in my book. Almost like a phone camera.

I agree with the Pana Lumix recommendations, though usually point to the DMC-FS series. Or DMC-LX3 if you want to increase the budget. Pick by size and zoom requirements. Only downside is they tend to get grainy at higher ISOs before Canon. On only picture quality I'd pick Canon, but p+s about more than just quality. If expecting lots of low-light scenarios likely Fuji should be added to the list. And pick up an Eye-Fi card. Like a good camera phone it's a game changer.

Salt sucker, so just picked up over at Woot.

Callas: Mad Scenes & Bel Canto

Definitely. I like though that they have prices for order 1-50, then cap it at 10.
