born in cali, babe.

I mainly listen with 580s. There is a difference for me, a very noticeable one at that. The 600 sounds a bit grainier, while the 650 more closely resembles the 580. I do not notice more bass presence because there is slightly more detail in the 650s which probably go well with the supposedly increased bass. The 600's are a bit more gritty but sound like the 580's in the bass department. The 600 thus sounds a bit more highs tipped because it gains a bit of treble without more bass..

~2usd each or ~21USD for a dozen if you are cashing your checks at 6% fee places and phear "the man", then you should probably be worrying more about getting enough food period, than wasting your money on expensive snacks

one I have been an enthusiast of luxury snack items for awhile now, but nothing has yet trounced the cream puff as my favorite indulgence. The process of obtaining a box of Beard Papa's cream puffs and then transporting it to a suitable place to be sampled slowly is a holistic experience. Each retail location is different than the next, so it would be useless to describe the environs and aura of each- but note that they will almost always reside in upscale urban areas devoid of such undesirable establishments as OTB betting or check cashing stations. The staff will be light-hearted, energetic, and above all- enthusiastic. To be employed at beard papa's, one needs to excel in important areas like appearance, meticulously clean hygiene, and of course, the ability to exude the kawaii whether honest or in pretense. The same attributes most likely also apply to the (majority of the) clientele. If the people don't lift your spirits enough, the friendly atmosphere of the modern design will. Colors are always vibrant and give a sense of spaciousness. two The selection of flavors as well as the m?lange of non-creampuff products will vary based on location, but most will have the full array of standard flavors to choose from including: Original (Vanilla) Green Tea Earl Grey Tea Strawberry Chocolate Coffee Pumpkin ?clair There will also be exclusive flavors that differ based on location and/or season. Each cream puff is made from all natural ingredients and batches are baked many times a day- never with preservatives. The smart choice would be to order a few to consume immediately, and one box to take with you to enjoy elsewhere (while listening to your rig?). Refrigeration destroys the puffs, as I have tried both ones that are hours old, and those that have been in the fridge overnight. They lose their magic very quickly because the essential crisp turns soft and the volume flattens resulting in a dull ball of dense pastry that is no better than any other cream puff- if not worse. three After auditioning every flavor available, I settled again on my favorite- the vanilla original. The interesting Green Tea and succulent ?clair come close at at second and third but the review will focus on their flagship flavor, the venerable Vanilla Cream Puff made from the "finest organically-grown vanilla beans available." The box draws attention to itself by way of it's cheerful glossy yellow color- -and the graphics lend to a sense of warmth and sweetness. One can't help but notice the Beard Papa's comforting gaze, pipe in mouth and all. Looking at the box is calming, but the anticipation of what's inside begins to stir my senses. I have seen many cream puffs in my day, and honestly they all look alike to me. They are soft throughout, and the cream is more often than not too dense. Upon chewing, the normal puff would collapse quickly with both the dense shell and the viscus cream inside melding into an unsavory glob of disappointment. The flavor of the cream would be bland or sometimes with a hint of sour. Beard Papa, it seems, will have none of this! four Beginning with a nibble at the crust, I am hit by such a thin crispy shell that almost shatters! Underneath that expertly textured shell is a very voluminous and soft layer of air-filled chambers. What never ceases to amaze is how soft and cool this layer remains yet still retains it's structure and ability to resist absorbing the moisture from both the outside world and from the cream at the core. When your tongue first hits the cream, you know this puff is pure win. If there were such a concept as perfect, the vanilla cream would come very close to it. Ultralight, extremely consistent texture throughout, and the ability to flow without being too dense is the key. You can bite right through the whole cream puff and not know you hit the center till it's too late. The key to the success of beard papa's puff is the synergy between the parts of the puff. The crust is crispy yet right underneath, there is no hint of brittleness in the caverns. The cream filling stays in the center and never intrudes on the shell. It were as if the puff was baked in three pieces then assembled together, which is nonsense, but goes to show just how well crafted each ball of delight is. It is hard to review and criticize a product without actual criticism, but in the case of beard papa's fresh'n natural creme puffs, I will honestly say that there are no faults for this pastry lover. Availability is the only major issue, but for those in or near major metropolitan areas, there would be no problem in visiting. Do yourself a favor, and indulge for once. If not now, next time you visit a civilized part of the world, keep in mind that oral ecstasy may be in a shop near you: Locations (US) (There are hundreds of other locations worldwide, and are almost everywhere in East Asian countries.)

Jay hasn't gotten his weekly dose of warmth, and his dormies are always present- so no self service for him. Tense times.

I find the best way to store and play compact discs is to store them as disc images on hard drives. This works particularly well on macs, with osx's Disk Utility capable of doing everything. You can make an image, then a checksum. I store all my cd images in an external hard drive, then if I feel like listening, I just double click the image and it is "mounted" instantly- as if physically inserted into the cd drive. All apps see it as a physical cd- they should, as it is an image of the actual cd, without actually "reading" the data. It is a low level copy of the data with validation. You can do the same on pc's with alcohol120%. Just set read speed to low and all kinds of error correction on, and make a checksum and check against checksum of the cd. Can't believe more "audiophiles" don't do this... It is much less flawed than all the other methods...

you got outsourced by H&D again!
