I been trying to bring up the HF home page for the past five minutes and seem to only be getting a page with: "Database error The database has encountered a problem." I generally only check the for sale pages so would have missed any announcement but was this downtime expected ? http://www.head-fi.org/

It could be argued that one of the root causes of the current problem was "faulty" risk analysis. Whether the risk analysis was faulty by design or intent is left as an exercise for the reader. The following post from comp.risks is posted verbatim as it seems to be so on topic - and apolitical. ***** A lot of the comments in RISKS-25.34 seem to imply that the people running the financial firms were stupid and/or careless in not doing a correct risk analysis. These people are not stupid or careless, merely greedy, unscrupulous and irresponsible. They did a careful risk analysis all right, and then made the decision to deliberately feed false information i…

I liked Paul Newman as an actor, but most for his generosity when giving from his food business. It was estimated that his food business generated close to 90 million or possibly more for various charities and causes. He will be dearly missed.

Hope you have a good one!

Have a great birthday Michael, and maybe you should buy yourself a new user name while you are at it! Cheers!

Now that you have had time to live with them a bit, have you had any comments or questions from John Q Public? Would you have done anything differently with the design?

I need someone who can do this. If you can - please PM me.

Looks like Micheal Bolton is still a no talent assclown. But at least I can go to Disney Land now.

Happy birthday to you!

hi. You probably don't know me. If you do, you probably don't like me. Same username on headfi. k go.

Well - I finally finished unpacking last night and tonight came the sorting and rearranging of stuff. One problem - this morning - I woke up with very bad back pain. I tried the hot tub with some advil for pain but it is still there. Any thoughts on how to get it to go away beside going to a chiropractor?

I've spent the last 3 days boarding up peoples homes and condos on this island. I don't really like that kind of work, but many of my customers don't know where else to turn. Most of my customers are in the very wealthy bracket, and I like to keep them happy. I just finished boarding up my own place 15 minutes ago, it's been a very long day. I have three more houses (mansions) to board up tomorrow, and then tomorrow night I'm hitting the road. Unless of coarse the storm (Ike) has moved significantly north by then. I have the motorhome loaded with groceries and fuel, and I have a reservation at a park in San Antonio. I should have internet access there, so I should p…

So the wife and I have decided that we want out of NJ... problem is we have no idea where to go. We have had enough with the traffic, people, rudeness, and all the lovely things NJ is known for. We would greatly appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. As an aid the wife and I are more outdoorsy people than city people but still like nice restaurants and amenities near by. We are currently looking at Austin TX, Nashua NH, Harrisbug PA area...

Where DustyChawk go?

Given Fannie and Freddie - Google News and the wonderfully reassuring statement "He admitted that he did not know the final cost to the taxpayer, saying: "In the end, the ultimate cost to the taxpayer will depend on the business results of the GSEs going forward." Good?, Bad?, Blank Check? We're All Doomed!? Or will switching on the LHC make it all irrelevant?

Enjoy your day!

I figured some of you do enough of this that it might be worth asking here. I need to rebuild the steps going into our house from the garage and would like to do some similar to the ones a friend has in his house. These appear to be box steps? Any ideas as to where I could find some plans for something similar to these? Thanks, Chris

CERN announces start-up date for Large Hadron Collider - 07:30 CET (08:30 BST) I heard a trailer for BBC Radio4`s "Big Bang Day" themed around switch-on of the LHC and it got me thinking BBC - Radio 4 - Big Bang Day The CERN home page also has link to a live webcast for the occasion. CERN - European Organization for Nuclear Research Live webcast of switch-on what the LHC is : Large Hadron Collider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
