So sad, and so sorry Wayne.....RIP Joe.

No offense taken, Bryan. I called him immature as well (though I said "a bit" and you're probably more accurate). Loved Lucic when he was "on," not so much when he did stupid shit like that. And he was doing that more recently, especially during/after the Habs beat the Bruins in the playoffs two years ago. EDIT: BTW, Lucic was probably pissed that the intended recipient ducked down and (in Lucic's eyes, not mine) undercut Lucic. That's considered "bad code" in some aspects. Brad Marchand did the same thing to one of the Sedin brothers back in 2011. He was trying to avoid a hit, but it was potentially dangerous in and of itself. That said, my thought is good for you if you duck the hit, as long as you don't purposefully try to flip the other guy over. Marchand was borderline doing that, the guy who did it to Lucic was purely avoiding a hit. It was Lucic's momentum and awkwardness that sent him overboard.

Pretty unlikely for me as well, but I absolutely love the idea....!

I'm a bit glad the Bruins got rid of Lucic. He DOES tend to play better in contract years, but he was somewhat neutered for much of last year, definitely floated a lot. Also very emotional and still a bit immature as that clip showed. It's too bad, because when he's truly on, he's fucking amazing. Now, THIS year's Bruins. Well, if they don't start getting their act together, it's gonna be a LOOOONG year....they will improve over a pitiful 6-2 opening day loss, but I'm not sure how far they'll go.

^^^ What Dan said. The only thing I like about it is that it showcases HOCKEY skills, not just shooting skills. But since I hate shootouts (mainly because the Bruins suck at them many years) I'd take this over them.

^^^^ That's almost my setup (Strada 2's and TR-1 sub). Loverly sound, yesitis.... EDIT: and the price is pretty dang nice As for the question at hand: do they need to be passive speakers (is it a receiver driving them)? Thinking an above average computer-style 2.1 system, like the PSB sub/sat combo. or even one of the Cambridge Soundworks type setups.

I think I'm just poisoned from the whole LH Lab's crowd-funding....leaves a sleazy feel to any established audio company doing it, even PS Audio with their Sprout....

Unholy carp, they went the crowd-funding route..... The rungs on the ladder of respect just all broke....

Raffi Torres suspended 41 games for a shitty pre-season hit. Good riddance to bad trash. Zack Kassian suspended without pay after being involved in a bad crash (though i don't believe he was driving), headed to "level 2" rehab-type help. NHL admitting Coke may be prevalent in usage by players. Gonna be a fun season.....lets get the games freaking started, need to focus on some real hockey.

Pretty cool music, and awesome cover! Thanks Bryan.....

I echo the Ety's. The sound is good/very good on most of their models, and the triple flange tips fit well in my narrow ear canals. Many other IEM's don't fit well so don't sound good (IME - In My Ears). Not sure of the Altec Lansing OEM'd Ety's (I think they were a copy of the ER-6's) are still available, but my wife loved them.

Went last night/this morning to see the lead singer of my favorite band, The Chameleons UK. Mark Burgess, touring as ChameleonsVox, did a fantastic show of their entire first album, plus another 1+ album's worth of additional Chameleons material. Many of us have "that band" that eclipses others, for me it's the Chameleons, even though I got into them late in their original incarnation in the 80's (I just missed their last US tour in 1987, didn't get to see them as a group until a 2001 reunion). Met up with a couple I had met via a mailing list in the 90's and kept in touch with, along with a local musician acquaintance who will join the band for 3 nights because of the main guitarist's mom passing away in England. And also reconnected with another list-member who I hadn't chatted with since the early-90's. This was the last time Mark will tour apparently, it was a tremendous show with a ton of energy and joy. Three separate encores beyond the main show. I'm at work and pretty exhausted now, but still filled with the energy and light from an amazing show!

Not sure if this was posted before, saw it referenced on an author's (F Paul Wilson) email blog. Cathulhu

The LCD-4 is twice as good as the LCD-2, and 1/3 better than the LCD-3.

Cocteau Twins - Victorialand. Just what I needed to mellow out and focus at work. Helps me build those Alternate Hierarchical Dimensions

RIP Catherine and Frankie.....not big parts of my life/growing up, but do remember both fondly.

Happy birthday!!

Happy birthday!

Put together a couple pieces of Ikea furniture together for Andrew's room. He now has a normal desk and side drawers. Also just watched some of the eclipse/blood moon with Karen and some neighbors. Pretty cool, at least for a while.

^^^ Need to listen..... Me: over the last 2 days, some stuff to try old and new: David Gilmour - Rattle That Lock Hammock - Kenotic Public Image Ltd. - What The World Needs Now New Order - Music Complete Lucie Silvas - Letters To Ghosts Patty Griffin - Servant Of Love Jewel - Picking Up The Pieces Lesbian - Power Hor Tamaryn - Cranekiss The Jesus and Mary Chain - Barrowlands Live

I'm not embarrassed to admit I like the pretty amnesiac kicks ass while she remembers things plot, and Jaimie Alexander is kind of like Hanna meets Jason Bourne to me, Formulaic? Yeah, it resembles/steals from a few things. But I'm not looking for anything too deep, so I'll likely enjoy it unless the so-so acting gets too much in the way. I'll be curious to see how they unravel the mystery of her tattoos.

Well, hey, I watched a lot of b-grade horror flicks growing up, too. And, all 3 of us boys wanted my mother to marry a certain boyfriend after she was divorced, specifically because he watched Creature Double Feature and The Three Stooges with us. What could possibly have gone wrong....? With him, or me?

Agree with Dan. And if there is an issue with volume range between steps, you might consider some XLR attenuators inline, much cheaper than adding the volume control. Not sure they'd be great for signal quality, but may help....

I just watched that yesterday, agreed on the male lead (and some secondary characters, too). But I liked it overall for what it is.

Happy Birthday!
