Got fitted for contact lenses today! No more glasses.

To keep this thread going, I decided to post my Sazerac recipe which happens to be pretty similar to Morphsci's. Sazerac: 2 ounces of Rye (I usually use Sazerac 6yr) Absinthe (I have been using St. George) 2 dashes Peychaud's bitters 2 dashes Angostura bitters 1/4 ounces of simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water) 2 large ice cubes lemon peel In a medium sized glass, simple sugar, bitters, rye and ice cubes. Stir until chilled. In another glass (small old fashioned or something similar), pour a small amount of absinthe and swirl to coat the inside and bottom. (You are supposed to dump out the excess but I usually don't as long as I don't pour too much). Strain rye mixture into glass, twist lemon peel over drink (add peel to the drink if you so desire). Enjoy!

Mine latest progress is still: LOUISVILLE, KY, US 03/31/2010 1:36 A.M. ARRIVAL SCAN

Netflix good.

Happy Birthday Apple.

No way, they don't even ship until April 3rd.

Ah sorry... didn't express my interest properly. I need something I can use for handwritten notes (will be writing math with lots of pictures), just don't need to convert to text.

Got a Pogo Sketch for the Ipad. Now I need to find a note taking program (don't need/want handwriting recognition). Just something to scribble notes down on.

Good news on the Quad 12L's. Lane is going to swap out the noisy speaker with another! Hell yeah.... cause I like em!

Mine is in Kentucky too! China to Alaska to Kentucky doesn't seem like the best way to get to from China to Houston. Hope mine didn't hooked up with the party travel team.... Edit: Just say Nate's post - phew.

Same here.

Damn, that sucks!

Don't think they are counterfeit but I guess you never know... if there are then there may be quite a few other angry head-casers here as well. Mike: Did you get your yet? I cannot remember who else bought a pair.

Thanks. I cannot move the speakers much but I do think the 12L's are shielded. The big problem is that I am getting noise (much more out of one that the other) no matter where I plug them in the house (away from computers, etc.), with no source, and with no volume. I can live with the slight hum I hear from the "left" speaker but the "hiss" that I get from the right speaker is driving my nuts. I have contacted Lane so we'll see what he says. Thanks for all the help.

Nate: The volume doesn't effect the noise. I can hear the noise with the volume at minimum (all the way down). When I did play music through them, I didn't listen over 25% (9 o'clock on the dial).

They hiss even without a source. Doing some more experiments, it seems that the hiss on the woofer of the "right" one is the noise that is bothering me. It is much louder than the noise on the "left" one. Do you think I should contact the seller? I feel that they would be fine if I were 5-10 feet away but that the hiss bothers me at the desk.

Happy Birthday Duggeh!

Got the Quad's (12L active) today from Lanemart. Set them up. They look and sound great. However, I can hear quite a bit of hiss with no music playing. Perhaps this is because I am too close to them (an arms length away). Is this normal? There is more hiss on one of them than the other (the woofer hisses and hums on one and I basically only get hum on the other woofer - both tweeters hiss).

Mike: I used Mastercard. That looks like a nice stand!

Got my shipping notice too. Let's hope that UPS doesn't screw it up.

Anyone know why the Apple store is down?

Lexus... sweet!

Nice, mine won't be here 'til Monday.

Tori Amos - The Piano: B sides

Greg: sorry for your loss.
