I can only hope the murderer is put in prison and made someone's - or better yet SEVERAL someones' - ass bitch! Scum deserves it deeply.... A dog, too.....

That is heartbreaking! WTH is wrong with some people... Sam

This shit is crazy. King of the Hill actor Jonathan Joss fatally shot in Texas after argument with neighbor. EDIT: The second page didn't paste for some reason:

Check this link - lots of good stuff. There you find gg.zip .

Have heard good things about it and it was on my list; guess I'll bump it up.

Funny, I just came here to post what I listened to yesterday. The sound quality is pristine. I've always been a fan of HDCD, especiallly in Reference Recording's hands. YMMV, but I very much enjoy the performance as well. I've had this disc for years.

Copland: Our Town Suite, The Red Pony Suite & El Salón México by Aaron Copland (1988) https://album.link/kjqzqbb7js4mt Example: Finally getting back to finish off the trio of CBS Masterworks: Copland v Copland... Like the others, just lovely, maybe not the most audiophile of the recordings out there, but super lush and the performance is unquestionably good. I may poke around a little bit more for other recordings, I have a few others in my queue (Bernstein, MTT, Marriner), but I feel that in the future, I will probably just come back to these.

ew... {begin rant} Well you were right. I didn't have the stomach to watch past a few minutes. As soon as I heard 'Physics Establishment' I knew that it was Crackpot time and I was done. I am sorry I gave it that much time, they probably got credit for a view. I at least was able to give it a thumbs down. There are several vids by Angela Collier about Crackpots - and they are scary people that are mad.... I like Sean Carroll - I read his pop physics books back in the day: From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time The Particle at the End of the Universe: How the Hunt for the Higgs Boson Leads Us to the Edge of a New World Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime I would rather read papers than books aimed for public consumption now. But Sean is a well respected in the industry with over a hundred published research papers. He falls in the camp of Brian Greene for me as a science educator. In some ways I hate that he did this. It raises the status of 'people that yell' that their theory is worthy of debate. {end rant} Back to working on my theory of everything that they cannot handle....

Glad you posted that Jimmy. I've read all of the Dept Q novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen, which are set in Denmark, but it seems they kept the characters and themes the same. Gonna check it out.

Dept. Q (Netflix) - An Edinburgh-based detective involved in a shooting gets re-assigned to a newly-formed cold-case department. A crazy set of twists & turns connects all the dots. We liked it alot. Hopefully there will be an S2.

a friend of mine is planing to build a similar amp but cannot find the pcb files for the pcb in center can you please link those?

If I wasn't certain that I haven't been drunk since I was 16, I'd swear I was shit-faced in that second picture. I've come to terms with having a bald spot, but Foster Brooks has to go!

Steve wanted a couple to action shots.

Shostakovich: The Piano Concertos; Solo Works by Yuja Wang (2025) https://album.link/cw0v6b3mzztxf Example: Up to all the standards that one would expect.

This video is probably exceeds the time and interest of anyone here. I've had it on while working on photos. I have mixed feelings about it. Piers Morgan is an insufferable, pompous jackass and physical evidence that the denizens of my fine state didn't toss quite enough things into the Boston Harbor back in the day. I don't know much about Sean Carroll. Eric is the, uh, less crackpot of the two Weinstein brothers. This is damnation with the faintest of praise. There was a time, maybe 15 years ago where I heard him speak on learning disabilities and thought he was seriously smart. It could be he was, in that moment and on that subject. It's also just as likely that I fell for a grifter. It wouldn't be the first time. In any case, Eric stages a Chernobylesque meltdown here because the "serious" physics community doesn't regard his crackpot theories in the, ahem, gravity he'd like. Sean Carroll is a polite academic type and responds to the full state of Eric's emotional diaper as best he can. Piers, whose job it is to have as much drama as possible on his show, barely manages to contain his smirk while thinking "this is going to get SO many views" to himself. The temper tantrum starts around the 20 minute mark.

Are we alive, Walnut Creek? Part Deux, it's 4/4 time with Neon Velvet. I can neither confirm nor deny if there was any getting on down. The Band were down with post gig selfies. And a Chauffeur driven ride, to and from the venue. This is Walnut Creek, after all.

A year later seems just as strange.

Make some noise, Walnut Creek! Walnut Creek Art and Wine Festival part 1 with Pride and Joy (SF). We managed to set up on a slope, with a view overlooking the east stage, shade, and the odd waft of Jazz Cigarettes. The crowd are on their feet, getting on down. Interesting view the other way.

Brit picnic At Sugar Loaf Open Space (Picnic Area, that we had to ourselves) Not too Shabby Dessert? Yes, but of course!

2007 doesn't seem almost 20 years away. 🫣

Al and I are building a bathroom vanity, and a closet door for his Sister in law, and her wife. We've built many things for them in the past, including a full kitchen remodel. This vanity will be a modern, White Oak, 60" unit. Center mounted single sink, and three drawers on each side. If you've ever had to squeeze into a 14" opening to install drawer glides, you will have learned to measure and install them prior to assembling the cabinet. So that's just what we did today. Not too much head scratching, before figuring out the correct placements. Those are the interior dividers. The side pieces were done before these.

Sonny Meets Hawk! by Sonny Rollins (1963) https://album.link/s94wfwvvrgh6z Example: Sonny, Hawk. Hawk, Sonny. Nice to meet you. Good colab. They play with themes and sounds back and forth the entire album. With some experimental things going on as well.

As others have reported, a bit of a heat wave here yesterday. What better time to stand in the sun and eat funnel cakes at a county fair (elephant ears were sadly out of stock - damn you West Coast)? In a sign of the times, about half the animals on display as normal due to the bird flu. As a stabilizing influence, every band still knowns Tom Petty. if you’re curious about the disadvantages of using an old lens without modern coatings…
