  1. You´ll have to admit, tho, that the man is very good at marketing, maybe way better than in others areas of expertise. Hence the cult (of personality). That said, I did liked my Magni for the brief time I had it, ´cause it was so cheap and good, as good as SS may be. Had it go for a friend without an amp.
  2. Tyrion, Do you have a baseline recipe for your brisket? It looks marvelous, but here in Brazil we are not very used to this kind of meat. Would love to obtain something so rich like yours.
  3. Manor went down, bankrupt. Only 20 cars per grid, that´s too little. Alongside, there is no more small teams to promote young carrear, where various winners debuted in F1. Alonso & Webber (Minardi), Senna (Toleman), Verstappen, Vettel (Toro Rosso, taht is Minardi with a new brand), Barrichello (Jordan), Ricciardo (Hispania), Massa & Raikkonen (Sauber) are some names mentioned here http://flaviogomes.grandepremio.uol.com.br/2017/01/menos-uma-9/ in portuguese. Maybe Bernie dropped the bone cause there was no more meat there to chew.
  4. Would You share the name of the restaurant? Thks in advance.
  5. Challenge accepted. Truco! Since You are in the neighborhood, in Argentina try this If You´re in Uruguay don´t miss this Buenas vacaciones! Happy holidays. I presume.
  6. Short ribs/spare ribs? Looks alot like "asado de tira", very common in Argentina and Uruguay. This meat with some chimichurri and a Malbec, sweet and powerful, is to die for.
  7. Vinegar, cleaning vinegar may do the trick.
  8. Love to watch rugby. A friend of mine who introduced me to the somehow complex rules told me this... "Rugby is a beastly game played by gentlemen; soccer is a gentleman's game played by beasts; football is a beastly game played by beasts." - Henry Blaha Matches between England x France and Wallabies x All Blacks are allways VERY fun to watch, since the rivalry add a lot of tension to the matches. Argentina Pumas is becoming a strong team, while Brazil is still on the kindergarten. Hope the Olympics games help on develop our skills. But am expecting a lot of beaten on us, with very dilated scores. I have an old All Blacks t-shirt and really like the Ireland uniform. And, Craig, if you may, you forgot mention Rugby Seven.
  9. Did you guys saw this? Triple vertical clutch, very beautiful (to my eyes), and although some simplicity in the mechanism, a fantastic watch for less than two grand. Review of the mechanism: http://www.watchtime.com/reviews/clutch-performer-reviewing-seiko-velatura/ And a nice video, Inside a Submariner
  10. Will it ever gonna end? I mean, it seems difficult, now that is a "Forever Funding pilot program", with a new and improved product. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/geek-pulse-ultra-high-def-audio-for-your-desktop Did anyone anywhere received anything different from Geek Out from them?
  11. Best. Game. Ever. Sorry for Miami, but what a game Aaron Rogers did! Loads and loads of pressure for him. And he stood still. BTW, why Miami did a pass and not rushed with the ball in the last 2nd down they had? Lost precious seconds there.
  12. x2. Here we have a guy that do a terrific job talking ´bout F1, in a funny and rather unconventional way... Don´t know how much would be lost in translation, but there it is: MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2014 - 24:11 • F-1 ABOUT YESTERDAY OF DAWN F1 2014: Bianchi's accident with a crane ... by sitegp SAO PAULO (putz) - An hour would appear. A fan filmed the rescue car Sutil when Bianchi appears like a rocket and hits the tractor. The scenes are strong. It seems evident that the tractors for salvage cars are an aberration. Those that in a few years let's say: remember when they put a tractor? Similarly we say today: remember when the F-1 cars had neither seatbelt? It is. Warnings were given, many. E m in 2003, especially in the GP of Brazil . Nearly there was a tragedy in the Curva do Sol. The FIA ​​should ban these tractors and establish some conditions and very simple procedures.Cranes only. As in Monaco. If in Monaco, which is tight Pacas, they can spread the cranes most critical points of the track, why this can not be done in much broader racetracks, with much more space? Thus, no foreign body on wheels enters the track in case of redemption of cars. Else. Any foreign body (on wheels or not) that you have to get on track should be accompanied by the safety car. Anyone. In Germany it was ridiculous to take Sutil's car in the arm with the race underway. If you need anyone to leave behind the guardrail for anything, safety car and fuck. One more. Flags. What was that japinha with green flag while Bianchi sprawled underneath a tractor? And even after beating the little samurai remained there with his green flag. Where is the race director this time? Indeed, it can be blamed for what happened. The tractor was a long time removing the car Sutil and needed a safety car at the time. For if they hit a site, it is because another can hit too. And where there is potential to beat does not hold a tractor without pilots drastically reduce the speed. And yellow flag is bit. It was for safety car. Also had the problem of visibility. It was too dark. In short, go home, Charlie Whiting. This is there in your account. And the account of the arrogance of these people FIA, which is full of punishing pilot, but not one cazzo understand what goes into a race car. Following ... - There is a video simulation that shows the dynamics of the accident. Is down there. - In another video here , telemetry, there are all electronic indications of yellow flags in the stretch, riders passing by, and Bianchi coming and stopping after reaching 203 km / h. It's pretty amazing. - Bianchi, according to the medical bulletin issued by the FIA, is in critical condition but stable.He was operated on yesterday. Had extremely serious head injuries. - At most, it may have weeks impactful ads, as Vettel at Ferrari and Alonso at McLaren. But given the dramatic situation of Bianchi, believe that all this will stay after the GP of Russia. - What about the championship, Hamilton turned the game. Will be the champion.

  13. FrankCooter, Many many thanks! Tried to thank You, but since I am a noob/novice, can´t. I need to say that is exactly the words I was hoping to hear. Most important, that regarding LCD-3! Only bummer is the fact that it is almost sure I´ll need to get a new and full priced Mk II, ´cause the logics involved for my purchase are somehow troublesome. Many thanks again.
  14. I used to have a SR303 + SRM212. Loved it for female vocals, strings, soft jazz. Not so much for Led, Rush, Purple and fusion. Fast, coherent, but lacked bass presentation. Could not ask too much for such a simple setup, nonetheless, I know. In the end, sold it in order to get some better dynamic phones. But still in love with electrostatics. May I ask something? How about the actual 007 for 60-70 rock and fusion, that I listen most of the time? Does it do a fair job, like presenting a grooving sound, good bass, as in on pair with dynamics? I do not have the time or patience to look for a mint Mk I, since I live in Brazil and to send a used phone to here is so troublesome, not to say expensive, pretty expensive. It would be like go to US in a near future and buy a new one and ship to my hotel. What do you guys think? Birigir, let´s start the season of trashing newer 007 versus older and better 007 Mk I. Many thanks.
  15. Birgir, I know I am hearing impaired, because of shooting practice. I know I don´t have too much experience on top notch, first class, "audiophile" amps. I know a lot of "auiophiles" don´t like 2A3 for being too mellow, too soft, and all kind of stuff. I know a valve amp is as good as the iron, and You had told that the irons on DNA amps are el cheapo as it gets. But, there were some skilled and seasoned friends down there at the meet that liked the presentation of that amp. With a lot of different hp, like HD800, HE-6 and AKG-1000. So, if You don´t mind in answering this, what is the problem, sound quality wise, with this amp? We will try to have a meeting like this at least once a year. And, indeed, is the friendship that drives us to the meet, not the gear. But, having a Orpheus to listen helps a lot.
  16. But they advertised and promoted it as it. As all their products. The biggest thing since sliced bread, and last campaign, of course. Or am I mistaken?
  17. It was LOADS of fun! Most and more important, even then Orpheus, is to be able to see a lot of friends, meet new friends and talk a lot about music and our passion, music. I know it sounds corny, but I guess we all love to see our friends, that´s what a meet is all about. I, as opposed to Leo, liked A LOT the Leben sound paired with the HD800, listened to Midnight in Harlem from Tedesky Trucks Band, twice, and loved the sweet and bold presentation. Also loved the UM Mentor, even as universal, at a point to seriously consider it to a near future. But the star of the show was the DNA, because it drove all the phones with poise and finesse. Bummer to wait another year to group this gang together, hopefully with new gears, since Stax was ill represented there.
  18. In a World Cup correlated subject, FIFA ordered Nico Rosberg how and how not to celebrate Germany title in his own land... http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/07/17/german-gp-rosberg-helmet_n_5594256.html http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/07/17/german-gp-rosberg-helmet_n_5594256.html Oh my!
  19. Classy! Love Pros on mesh, like this one... http://www.ebay.com/itm/20mm-SHARK-MESH-BRACELET-OMEGA-Speedmaster-Seamaster-Seiko-Orange-Black-monster-/131233617000?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item1e8e221468 I have a mesh from this seller in my Orange Monster and love it.
  20. You american lost basketball Pan title to us in 87, and in response made the Dream Team, and the world saw what a top notch team You can make, since THIS is the native sport for USA, I guess. For us, Brazilians, the sport of passion is futebol, by a mile and half. It is, really, a true opportunity for poor kids to reach fame and fortune, and they play with such a passion and focused mind. And joy, a lot of it. BUT, we have a LOT of problems regarding the big bosses who own and rule the sport here. The results You saw in the last games, a passionless, mindless and soulless group of players, who do not even qualify as a team. I hope for a rediscover, re-foundation of Brazilian futebol, but can´t see it in the near future. We have, in our premier league, called Série A, less spectators in stadium than C series on Germany. Medium < 15.000 paying people. All teams here have problems in Justice, IRS debts, and so on. So, no nice futebol, as seen on 70, 82, 86, in the forecast. Tomorrow, since I love a beautiful game, hope for an even match, and Argentina all the way. Go Messi!
