  1. Happy birthday to you!
  2. Mikey, we can have dueling bhse's at the next meet, 'cept yours will be running those crappy Jades, so yours will lose.
  3. That is a great shot, Knuckles. Mike, is that Denver? Beautiful picture!
  4. Happy birthday, Jacob. Hope it's a good one!
  5. As should you for choosing that avatar. Seriously.
  6. I could be sous chef, despite not having any idea of how to cook anything most people like to eat. Does that mean I should also start cable company?
  7. Jacobs, Al's, jp's off the top of my head. If I were willing to think about it, I'm sure I could start a lengthy lists.
  8. I like my phone to be small. I like my books to be bigger. I think the Kindle's size is perfect. It would make me nuts to try and read on my phone or on a smaller screen. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would as I can easily read five or six books at the same time, switching back and forth as I like to do, without having a pile of books next to me. I do miss flipping back through the pages for some passage I want to read again. It's not nearly so easy or fun when in electronic form.

    slow forum

    You guys are overlooking the obvious. It's a bottle of wine. The bear just drank too much too fast. The label serves as a warning to other bears who don't know how to read.
  10. Embezzlement of this magnitude is tough to hide, and hiding it was a full-time job she apparently was good at. It looks like she possessed enough consistent cognitive organization to pull it off without raising concerns, meaning she held the rest of her life together enough to not have people suspect. I've spent a lot of time with people in various stages of mania. Out of control shopping, gambling, drinking, lack of impulse control, etc. goes hand in hand with mania, but mania is a cluster of symptoms that are pretty obvious to people that know an individual well, even when mild, and although not inconceivable no one suspected something was wrong, it would have been much more difficult to sustaina multi-year period without other areas of her life going equally out of control. Apparently, it was an AMEX employee that busted her, not someone who knew her. I wonder how many people close to her are going to say they were surprised. I also don't think it was greed alone, as the shopping (warehouse room of clothing with tags still on) was just too nutso, and definitely a sign of addictive behavior. If it were just an episode or two, I'd say she was just sick, but the amount of dedicated effort needed to sustain her theft makes it just plain criminal, even if she suffers from clinical disorders.
  11. You're welcome, birthday boy! Enjoy!
  12. Miguel, sorry to read about damaged K1000s. I'm working, wishing I were home.
  13. Happy birthday, Ken. Hope you have a great day!
  14. The site looks good, Stephen, and pre-built is definitely the way to go. Good luck.

    Beyer T1

    I'm curious about them. I don't think Beyers suck, but have had problems with either the heavy bass (770s) or piercing treble (880s). Maybe they got it right this time. I'm for more good headphones in the market, so I hope they're great. I'm not willing to lay out $1000 on a Beyer without hearing them first, so they'll be on my must-check-out list for CanJam.
