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.

Our cat Jazz had been having trouble breathing for about 24 hours so we called the vet. Due to the hour we brought him to an emergency clinic. They X-Rayed his chest and found a large growth pushing on his lungs. They thought they might be able to help him out and drain some fluid, but it wasn't fluid, it was a cancerous growth. It was inits final stages and there was nothing left to do. So I let me little furry buddy go. Once when I posted a pic of him on some "post pics of your pets" thread, a fellow Head-Fier said that Jazz looked like he had a bit of the devil in him...he was right. Jazz was a kitten to he end. He sat on my lap and I listened to cans and kept my le…

Although I have trepidation about the coming year, I'm going to keep a positive attitude for now. Wishing a great year for our Head - Case family! Even Brent. 🙂 Easy on the biscuits for 2025 though B.

On my way back from Alabama I made a little detour in Kentucky to stop at the Buffalo Trace distillery. They are the makers of some local favorites such as Sazerac, George T. Stagg, and the Van Winkle line. Figured I would share some pictures from my tour. Entrance to the distillary Water tower Entrance to gift shop Grain storage silos Mash cooker Cooked mash cooling in cooker Fermenter Small batch still Distiller testing station. The beer is distilled twice through two different stills. The stream from each still can be seen inside the barrels. Tasty 140 proof moonshine. First still is about 40ft tall. …

http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h3/Current/ The Federal Reserves Statistical Release, which lists how much money the banks & other financial institutions in the US have in reserve for various purposes. Of particular interest is the column marked "non-borrowed", which is basically the amount of money they have available for when customers make withdrawals, or in layman's terms, how much cash they have in the vault. Note that in the unadjusted tables, this number has gone negative. In other words, when you go withdraw money from the bank, that money ain't there, and your bank is now borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank so that your transaction can go thr…

Well, I surely like them all, but my fave is definitely blue cheese, lately though, I've started liking just a simple olive oil and lemon juice on a salad. How about you guys? -Mag

Hey guys i saw a thread of someone asking for an invitation for BTMusic tracker and I am in need of one so if anyone could help me I would apreciate it . I can offer an invite for demonoid.com in exchange. Thx a lot !

Bear with me: so I get this coupon in the mail, and I flip it over, and it says that it's exempt on, amongst other things, Martin Logan equipment. Martin Logan? Since when did Best Buy start selling Martin Logan equipment?!?!? So I do a little searching around, and it appears they're starting a high-end corner in some of their shops, Magnolia Home Theater. No shit! They also sell McIntosh, Sennheiser, REL, and a bunch of other good shit. Oh, and Bose. What's next? Pigs flying? Cows coming home?

I saw a recent news article on the Teletoobies, my favorite show a some time back: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18908488/

In my case, Before I automatically started ordering an isolation platform with any disc player. Before I lined up several portables in a level-matched (to sub-0.5dbs), blind-switch test. After all, if you're going to do it, you might as well do it properly unlike the fanboys. Before I could quite breezily say spending $10K on a used headphone was not entirely unjustifiable. Before I knew what word clocks were. Before Geekophilia. I think I might finally be approaching that phase.

You sick dirty bastards, get your minds out of the gutter! It's breached the 80?f mark here in the San Franpsycho area and that means it's time to shave my head for the summer I may keep it that way for a while longer this time because its so easy! Anyone else go shaved for the summer or all year round?

I don't normally do birthday greetings for long absent Head-casers, but noticed that @Duggeh turned 40 today. Seems like only yesterday that he was a young Scottish squire experimenting with large obscure headphones. If you happen to see this, then I hope you are well, Duggeh, and would love to hear tales of your middle age! Cheers!
