  1. Just finished episode 3. Like. The lead actress is amazing.
  2. Happy Father's Day, gents! And hats off to any single moms out there doing both jobs.
  3. I wonder if you wear the HD700's backwards, do they sound like HD800's?

    The Killing

    Great season 3 opener! I thought it was hilarious that both Holder & Linden both tell each other that they've quit smoking, as if to show they've moved on from their partnership after not seeing each other for months. The new case is related to a side story mentioned in season 2, but you needn't have watched the Larsen case to jump into this one. Did anyone catch the irony of Holder's girlfriend & the tattoo on his chest?.
  6. This thread has turned hilarious!

    The Killing

    Season 2 reruns finished this past weekend & the Rosie Larsen case has been solved. Whew! Season 3 premieres June 2nd with a 2-hr opener.
  8. Do any of these free files work? http://www.2l.no/hires/index.html

    The Killing

    Reruns of Season 2 are just finishing up. I love this show. I love how it is shot - every week I feel totally immersed in dark, cold, wet Seattle. On pins & needles waiting to see how the Rosie Larson murder case ends.
  10. Does "Hi-Z"/"Low-Z" on the ECP amp refer to the change in output impedance or to the gain setting?
  11. Nice to see you posting again John. Blackie's amp looks even better than ever with the upgrade. I imagine the HD800's sound quite nice out of it.
  12. Condolences to you & Jim's family, ironbut. That's so crazy. The kind of story it's difficult to get your head around. Dang.
  13. Anyone here, particularly you steel-frame fans, have an opinion regarding old-school friction shifters?

    Remember when...

    Good on you, Steve. The "what if that was my Mom?" question is a good check on our behaviours, and one I use a lot lately.
  15. Great pics everyone! catscratch - those EdMika adapters look great & well-made, But it is my understanding that there are issues with focusing to infinity (and mirror contact) with some lens + full-frame camera body combinations. Just FYI.
  16. I love "Happy Endings"! Elisha is hilarious and hot. So sad to see it cancelled
  17. "Luther (Season 2)" - liked a lot, great ending ep, although it felt a bit rushed. "Rectify" - opening ep was interesting. Slow-burn kind of start, which I don't mind. Will continue to see where it goes. DVR-ed the "Top of the Lake" marathon yesterday, so will check that out in the next days.
  18. I liked "Continuum" quite a bit. It has a proper combination of sci-fi & human relationships, with a focus on the latter. Plus your comments re: Nichols' toughness, vulnerability, & pretty are spot on.
  19. Luther (Season 1) - awesome. Couldn't stop watching, so we marathoned the whole first season. This is a prime example of good TV. Alice = love!
  20. Very nice!
  21. Same order as their show the other night: The Sea The Sea (EP): Amy Speace “How To Sleep In A Stormy Boat”:

    RIP Jonathan Winters

    A great talent & one of my favs from very early on. Awesome timing. So sad to hear of his passing. Rest in peace.
  23. guzziguy - hope your niece heals up well & quickly. Vicki/Jeff - nice racks. Want. pigmode - jealous of your locale. Btw, my wife was gifted an older, Canadian-made Miele road bike from a a former iron-woman competitor friend. The white pearl paint has seen a lot of miles, but it's not too bad & the original Miele decals are about 90% intact. It seems the accompanying mishmosh of components have been swapped in at various points along the way: - Shimano Tiagra derailleurs (older version) - Wolber GTX (France) front rim - Ambrosio Extra 19 (Italy) rear rim - Continental Ultra Sport tires Everything on it works well. The problem is the frame is too big for my wife & too small for me. So the plan is to either sell it outright or trade it in to mitigate the cost of new road bikes for both of us (all with the original owner's blessing). When we had it tuned up & the clipless pedals removed for standard pedals last year, the mechanics at the LBS seemed interested in buying it out from under us. No official offers we made at the time, & we went on our way. Anyone have an idea what would be a reasonable range to accept for such a bike? We just want to be sure we aren't being raked. TIA.
