What, Paterno WASN'T the Pope?

^^^ Win......only thought that was done in Canada

^^^ Awesome shit! Didn't see the peeking one at first

Good luck to all snowblowing, shoveling, and plowing.....and be careful. Just finished my walkway, top of the driveway, and roof; we have a plow service but the drifts were ugly. Nice neighbor with snowblower helped with the top of the driveway.... Same roof situation as Haj, drifts caused big piles on one section & side, minimal on the other. Thankfully not heavy snow here, but Cape Cod I heard got a lot of wet snow to start.

Haj, we have the same thing with drifts. Our back deck is an amazing contrast:

Ugh, sorry to hear that Haj. Too much "stuff" going around. Hope she feel better soon, and the family avoids it.....

Congrats, Justin, hope it leads to bigger and better things.....also close to home!

Look out....Islanders now have Tim Thomas......maybe,,,,,,,if he comes out of the bunker........ As for the Caps, always liked Adam Oates; hope he does something good and they turn it around a bit for him.

And knives.....don't forget the knives.... Happy Birthday!

A bit late in the eve, but just saw today is Mr.-Neko-Audio's birthday! Happy Birthday Wes! Wishing a great day and year. Think I'll celebrate by listening to something through your DAC

Already replied on the other site, but I'm going to try my damned best to be there. Just found out my wife is travelling the following week (leaving Sunday), but hoping that won't put a dent in plans.... Not sure yet what I'll bring for equipment, but I'll certainly bring some drinking goodness!

Well, just found out this morning....the Bone Marrow Drive my son and friend helped run yielded yet ANOTHER match!!!!! Hopefully will help/save the life of a 22-year old fighting Leukemia. I can't believe the odds, we signed up just under 100 people to the registry, and achieving two matches is amazing.

Dang, that was a weird read, not sure I'm glad I caught it before edit. But at least there was a mention of Sex Bomb by Flipper.....is liking them hipster now?

Yes, that'll settle a 3-year old's stomach, good idea..... Oh....wait.......

Yeah, leaning to the vinyl as well. And yes, if it sounds like Loveless, well that's just lovely!

Nice, offering 24/96 downloads.....

Yeah, but remember that Dinny Disease you DON'T have.....?

Wadia Power DAC on nice sale at Music Direct, $500....in silver. Couldn't resist, picked one up.....

That could be it Shelly.... Regarding donating, I learned some interesting info from helping run two drives with my son. ~80% of the time, marrow itself is not needed. The process is something akin to a very light version of dialysis. Maybe a week ahead of collection, you get injection(s) to help stimulate white blood cell production. Then you go in, have blood removed from one arm, flows through a collector of some sort that catches the parts desired; then the blood flows back into the other arm. One of my son's drives resulted in a match, we were very excited and proud! PS - congrats - again - to you and your student!

Big congrats Jacob and Emily! Nice to have less stress in life! And Shelly, odd on the Bone Marrow non-registration. Maybe some online info will help explain why....

We have someone I work with now named Sham Rao, pronounced like you might suspect. And the above made me remember once when I worked at a hotel/concert club, the owner was supposedly a Greek mob man name Mr. Ricolitis. A vendor once came and asked for Mr. Colitis, and we assured him that he REALLY wanted to get the name right (the owner was not well known for his sense of humor).

Ticketmaster charges some ugly fees at times, box office may be best to get at face value. Sometimes a local Craigslist ad or maybe a local sports/hockey online forum will even get a season ticket holder to sell. There's also stubhub.com, basically legalized scalping; usually good only if games are sold out.....

In the midst of the odd names, this is fucking fantastic!

Nice! I used to work at an Israeli company. Best 2 names I've ever heard were there. One was the head of HR at the parent company: Nimrod Zipper Another was a Service Engineer working in the US: Uzi Israel Both happened to be very very nice guys.....

Great stuff, congrats to both of you!
