I went to Landmark College in the mid-90s. It was at the time the only accredited institution in the United States that specifically taught students with learning disabilities (primarily dyslexia and ADD, which I have both.) When I entered in the fall of 1995, it was $32,000 a year. I have no idea what it is now, but I shudder to think.

The main reason Landmark was so expensive is the salaries of the faculty, and they're not paid particularly well. When I was there, the student:teacher ratio was 2.5:1.

Haha, Don Spritzer, the old Dons must be rolling over.

"What's dat new boss called, Spritz, Spit, Sprite, whachamacallit? I've never heard of no wiseguy named Spritzer. Now, dat Noo Yawk guvnor, he was called Spitzer. But he was no wiseguy, he was friends with the previous Don."

My biggest problem isn't the name as you could always call me by my middle name, Þór or Thor for those that don't know the proper spelling. I have to admit that I'm not a short Italian guy and I can't think of many Don's at 2m... Hell I'm having some tailored Armani suits made and they have to specially fly the test suits here as the stock ones aren't big enough...

I even have the hammer (Mjölnir) to match my name. I got some good use out of it today smashing up one of our old machines in the bakery which will be replaced tomorrow. The damned thing had been annoying me for years so who needs therapy when you have a sledgehammer and something to smash...

I basically hate you all because I'm putting a deposit in for a BHSE if Justin hasn't hit his limit (He's checking right now).

I kinda wish I had some idea of how it sounds versus a ES-1... but the finality of a BHSE (No upgrades) is pretty appealing to me.

I guess the only question left in my mind is if the 3D21A w/ adapters would work in this beast; p

You are not the only one putting down a deposit for a RK50 model no less... I'm also building my own souped up BH so I think that makes me extra crazy.

The 3D21A's should work in the BH no problem and I offered to send him a quad. Anything is better then paying for the NOS EL34's...
