Hincapie is awesome. Too bad Garmin went out of their way to stop him from riding in the yellow jersey for a day. We won't know about any doping results until much later considering how long it took them to find evidence of CERA during the Giro. Most of the riders are still cheating in some shape or form, but at the same time, cycling is still 10x cleaner than 90% of the professional sports out there. I'd love to see how baseball or football reacts to having the biological passport program. The passport is pretty tough to beat, and even if you do beat it, it's debatable that what you're using isn't really going to help after all.

Completely forgot I started this topic. I kept up with the race by watching the live video streams off my laptop. About Contador being self-serving...of course he is, and so is Lance. However, the difference is that Lance followed the split while Alberto was the one who dropped his own teammate. While it hasn't officially been decided, I would be shocked if Bruyneel didn't direct Team RadioShack. I can't wait for next year. Alberto will most assuredly be the favorite, but the Schleck brothers and LA will be there at the end again.

Someone please tell me they're following this too

Let me know how the Yamaha turns out. I'm interested in that line by Yamaha as well as Onkyo's receivers.

swt61, which Yamaha receiver did you end up buying? and wow, you certainly didn't mess around with your first HD experience. You jumped in with both feet

Hmm, good idea. I should probably follow your advice myself

Jeff Lynne made some nice changes to the song

a mildly more serious post than my previous contribution

Hmm, with that kind of description, I'll have to try that out. Really? Damn. I don't recall seeing that there. Where did you find a distribution listing?

just had fish and chips. MMMMM

alessandro ms2i & d2 viper predator mod rolled opamps. hopefully this turns out well =/

and thank god

This is how I feel about the last two years of Battlestar: This is how I feel about the finale:

Has anyone had a chance to listen to the new lineup to form an impression in comparison to the previous lineup? Just curious to know if they've actually changed how the headphones sound

Happy Birthday!

I thought this season was pretty disappointing. The chefs (outside of Stefan, Jeff, and Jamie) were pretty mediocre. Not to say I wouldn't enjoy eating in their restaurants, but these chefs (including the top) are a step below seasons 3 & 4.

well, she is kind of masculine...

what an episode

The season 3 finale was amazing. BSG was really good (particularly season 2) up to the first few episodes of season 3...then it went really mediocre for a while. It's coming back, but boy, did it take a while.

I dunno if you guys have already read this, but it's certainly a good read The End of Wall Street's Boom - National Business News - Portfolio.com

They won't repeat any classes for the 2 remaining unknown ones--it's already been confirmed. I intentionally stopped paying attention to d3 coverage because I'm pretty sure it would have driven me crazy for the next two years.

Hence the $700 price tag, but if they work as they're supposed to and aesthetics isn't a concern, they're not so bad. I personally wouldn't buy those, but eh. As a reference for the op, non-cosmetically damaged pairs usually go for 900-1000 on A'gon.

Look into the Revel M20's. They're honest speakers that throw a good soundstage. There's a switch in the back that allows you to standmount or place them near a wall. They were designed by Voecks (Snell) under the supervision of Floyd E. Toole. AudiogoN ForSale: Revel M20 speakers $700 is as low as I've ever seen them go for. I highly doubt they'll last very long. Good luck in your search
