Sorry to hear, Haj. Good luck on the exam grading Shelly & Jim. We had a nice day today, volunteered at our Temple for "Mitzvah Day." We helped with a free Senior Luncheon, very rewarding and some wonderful people and stories. And lots of take-home leftovers, for the attendees and volunteers alike. Then watched the LA Kings close out the St. Louis Blues in their series. Like both teams, so bummed one had to lose, but LA is looking pretty dang good right now. Off to catch the other game soon....

I think the other passengers were looking at you in pity that you had no cheez spread..... I remember once coming back from San Francisco with Lotus Seed Cakes from Chinatown in my carry-on. ALMOST got them confiscated as the filling is thick but not completely solid. I think they let me through when I offered to eat them They were well worth it.....

Sad news, I especially admired the work he did for Tibet and other charities. RIP.....

Hope eyes and bikes and bugs' asses get better.... I had a real nice afternoon/evening. Price-Waterhouse Coopers hosted a party for my company at Smith and Wollensky's in Boston, to celebrate outr partial reorganization as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Organization - PWC helped us a lot along the way. All people involved with that project were invited, and this little IT peon was mentioned twice by the CFO. On top of that, Macallan 18 (yum) and Woodford Reserve (not bad at all, haven't had decent bourbon in eons) were free at the bar, lobster tails/claws and other shellfish were plentiful in one of the buffet tables, and some wonderful and interesting people were met and shared some good time. Even got to see some silly drunk Accountants

Have to agree....in the past, if Boston was knocked out, I tended to watch other games sporadically, and usually watched all the games for the finals. But this year, many of these series have been just great to watch, for many different reasons..... And to top it all off, Slapshot was on one of the oddball cable stations here last night, unedited. "Everybody's on their feet, yelling 'Kill! Kill! KilL!' THIS...IS....HOCKEY!"

HO....LEE.....SHIT What a game by both Caps and Rangers! Had to stay up for it.......sad to see a team lose that one, I thought the Caps would just win it due to Rangers being too tired, but Gaborik nails his first goal in a big way.....
-
Scary shit, Al, and sorry you had to face it. Glad it turned out (relatively) OK. Wishing you and your dad my best as well.....

Echo the MOG and also the Dave Brubeck Take Five recommendations. If you like piano, Bill Evans is a great possibility. A little more "personality" IMO than Keith Jarrett, though I happen to like him too. Some of the Swedish Jazz I've found quite lively and fun, even the old audiophile standby Jazz At The Pawnshop. I picked up a couple Arne Domnerus (he played on JatP) albums, and although it's been a while, they still are pretty good.

Sorry to hear about your dad. Glad you got to see him. Thoughts and prayers with you & family.

That kid is going to be VERY good! Heck, he is already, he transitioned extremely well to the Pro game, jumping right into playoffs...... #1 star yesterday.....

LOVE those! I need to grab a few pics from a photoshop thread on a hockey board I frequent, some great stuff there! I imagine some of these made their way in....

Nice haircut, Tyll

Happy Birthday Sir! Enjoy some good Kosher Bacon!

^^^ That....

Do they make Holtby ones yet? Seriously, whatever one you'd like....bummer that they lost on a kind of cheap goal, Knuble basically ran into Thomas; but hats off to the Caps, they just stifled the Bruins when it counted, and then scrapped when it counted more.... And yeah, it was unbelievable how quiet it got when they scored.....eerie..... Not sure who to cheer for next. I was thinking the Rangers, but seeing all the oddities in the West, may go for Nashville or St. Louis.... Out of all the teams left, only Philly is the one I don't really want to go all the way, and even then i can't say I dislike them like I did Vancouver and Pittsburgh...... Oh, well. I'll enjoy the taste of last year, and the rest of this year's playoffs. Dan, I'll contact you in PM to follow up.

3 game 7's in the East......West is waiting.......it's like a soap opera Alfredsson has a hissy fit tirade, will it motivate his team to win game 7 in NY (I didn't realize Ottawa was 4-1 there)? Or will NY's regular season dominance in general and home ice be a factor for them? Will the hate affair with Chris "Don't Hate Me Because I Have Two Teeth And They're Fake" Neil and Brian "I'm Big And Tough And Pick On Little Guys But Am Still Clutch" Boyle show its face in the others' play? Will Henrik "I'm Frigging GQ" Lundquist stave off the Vancouver-like elimination? Dale Hunter and grinders like Brouwer have the Caps playing strong defencse and NOT choking so far. A fierce, tight series with all games by 1 goal. Alex "I Once Played A Bowling Ball In A Commercial" Ovechkin has been physical, but has been limited in points. Patrice "If I Don't Win The Selke I'll Kill Someone" Bergeron is plagued by mystery somewhere-on-the-body-injury but will still play. Will the Bruins' experience and home ice prove successful for their 4th game 7 playoff win, or will the determination of the Caps push them into round 2? And Florida and the Devils.....will Florida's patient wait-it-out-then-attack style and home ice get them past the aging Marty "I Still Get The Tough Ones Even If I Let In The Bad Ones" Brodeur? Will ex-Devil Scott "I'm In The Playoffs So Don't Send Me Back To The AHL" Clemenson get a sweet game 7 victory against his old team? The Flyers, with Claude "Mario Gretzky" Giroux and Ilya "The Solar System Is So Humungous Big" Bryzgalov, wait to see where the chips fall.... Tune in starting tonight, As The Puck Turns.....

I haven't noticed any birthdays showing up recently....coincidence, or is something not connecting perhaps? Just miss those HBD threads.....

Indeed, some incredible adaptations.....thanks for the links. I liked Pink Floyd's Echoes, even if a lot of it was already keyboard. Very powerful adaptation..
-
You guilted me into it, Dan! And being a Jew I thought I'd be resistent And actually, a regular season game will be fun, easier to go to, and I have enough respect for the Caps to wear a shirt (even Ovechkin or Chimera!) Best of one now.....I liked the OT winner today, let's see if we have enough steam for the next game..... And, go LA!!!!
-
Bought 4 myself, thanks for the pointer. My wife will like these, she goes thru bottled water a lot.

Good news on the tweet replacement Shelly....Colin, she got it (them?) from Sean Parque at SkiingNinja.com..... Speaking of putting things together, have you tried out the Hypex modules yet?
-
Bummer, I paid $20 for mine It's great to take a look at some of the customer images....
-
Ugh....Caps win again, can close out Boston on home ice tomorrow..... Dan, like I said, I really don't get to games to justify a "wear the enemy's shirt" bet, but we can chat about something....hoping beyind hope it doesn't come to anything, but not looking too rosy at this point. All these games are close one goal games, which is amazing. But if the Bruins have also lost Patrice Bergeron for the next game, they could be quite sunk.... Still hoping for the best (by my measures), but preparing for the worst. I'd like to see Rangers go all the way if the Bruins don't.....

This whole playoff race is just weird. Detroit, Vancouver, Pittsburgh WITH Crosby and Malkin.....all facing elimination in round 1. Bruins and Caps are still quite enjoyable. Bruins not playing up to their potential, with the 4th liners having more points then the first liners! Some hats off to Caps and the way they're playing, but sometimes it looks like the Bruins just aren't trying. Holtby had a good game last night, but the Bruins are also not TRULY challenging him the way the Caps do Thomas. I still think he will be a very good goalie in time, but they are talking about him like he's the next Ken Dryden If the Caps beat the Bruins, and the Rangers beat the Senators, I think the Rangers will take the Caps; they play a more in-front-of-the-net physical game than the Bruins are right now, and game 3 showed the Caps weaknesses when that happens. A similar shutdown defense and a good goalie in NY too. Of course I hope it's the Bruins going on..... Going to watch Philly and Pitt soon, dying to see if the Flyers get angry enough to come back strong; Pitt made QUITE the statement in game 4. Staal - ALL the brothers - can be a beast when he steps up.

Is there anything to this hi-rez stuff?
skullguise replied to TMoney's topic in Home Source Components
Agree w/Dan. Many times you hear of the hi-rez format being specially made from some better master than other sources. Since it's a niche market they sell to, it becomes a marketing/selling point, as well as something that gives potentially better sound.....
