Btw, I never got an email confirmation. So I just went to Pogoplug, logged in using my Adorama credentials, & selected the free 20GB option.

Happy Birthday buddy! Once again, you are still older than me

"Broadchurch" finale - I came around to liking this show a lot more after I stopped expecting it to be another "Luther" or "The Fall". Rather than being focused on a serial killer, it unfolds more like a novel, slowly peeling back the layers of a (supposedly) sleepy coastal town. The ending scene is very moving. "Sleepy Hollow" - my favorite new show of the season so far. Better than Whedon's "MAOS", imo.

I remember Tyll posting on HF around that same timeframe (2007) about an HA-2 based amp that Headroom was planning.

"Great minds..."

Classic Wheatfield HA-2: Layout seem to be the mirror opposite: What is that heat sink dissipating? I love that the headphone jack label explictly says "UNBAL OUT"

Hmmmm... not sure what about the main pump would have tripped the breaker other than it was not up to the task at hand. You may need a more powerful main pump. Btw, the "battery backup" only powers a secondary, less powerful pump. Your main pump cannot be sustained for any length of time on battery, so when the mains power goes, your primary pump stops working regardless. For that, you need a generator. Glad the insurance company came through though.

One of my mom's beagles began to suffer frequent seizures a few years back. Since that time, he's been on a daily regimen of Phenobarbital. This has curbed his seizures down to one or two per year since, with no negative side effects other than frequent urination. Other than that, he is a happy "puppy" (actually ~8 or 9 y/o rescue). Hopefully Quest has a full recovery. Stay positive Al.

HB James!

^This.

How does that work? My local theatres don't allow phones on while the movie is playing.

Happy (belated) birthday, Deepak!

^This. If you know a good, trustworthy insurance adjuster to fight on your behalf with your insurance company, it may mean the difference between getting paid and not.

Wow, that's crazy Larry. Glad the family is ok & the gear is safe for whatever you decide to do with it. Good luck man.

Thanks for the birthday wishes folks - much, much appreciated. My wife & I just got back to CT after a long weekend up in Mattapoisett, MA visiting my brother & his family (wife & four children). The "big 'five-oh'" hit me harder psychologically than I had anticipated. However, being around family & friends, especially the youthful energies of my nieces & nephew made for a wonderful couple of days. Here's to a productive & positive year ahead. It's been a while since I've met up with my fellow headphiles in person. Perhaps I can rectify that this year as well. Cheers!

Episode 4 just aired last week on this side of the pond. I was intrigued with the first ep, but am bored now. "The Fall" is so much better. Can't wait for "Luther" (season 3) to run this week!

"Disco" - Pet Shop Boys A Goodwill find in vinyl. Shep Pettibone's extra-long remixes of "Love Comes Quickly" and "West End Girls" are sublime. Takes me back. Way back.

Those vids are pure gold. Thanks so much for everyone involved for allowing them to be shared for the rest of us to live vicariously and have a chuckle.

Finished season 1 of "The Fall" - like Gillian Anderson looks amazing playing British with a very consistent accent, in this gritty, serial-killer drama based in Belfast. It's well-done, with interesting parallels between the killer's acts & the rest the cast's regular lives juxtaposed expertly for the viewer, underscoring the theme of compartmentalizing different aspects of one's life. All five eps are available on Netflix.

That sucks Nate. Thought of you & your family when I saw this today: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/15/rabies-bats-woman-dies-_n_3763283.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular Good call on preventive measures.

What's so wrong with bats? Crazy story Nate!

What a great looking pup. So sorry for your loss Mike.

Great season 3 overall. One of my favorite shows.

Finally finished the first season of "Orphan Black" this weekend. Very, very good (although the finale was a bit rushed, as they often are these days). Tatiana Maslany is incredible at playing all of those roles! Also, been keeping up with the remaining episodes of "Zero Hour". This show has turned out to be quite good. Should never have been cancelled after only two eps, especially knowing it was only designed for a single (half) seasons going in.
