Step down transformer.
I used one here in the US with a 230v CDP that I had (MF xRay v3) and it did not appear to have any impact. Your mileage may vary though when it comes to an amp as I suspect it may be much more sensitive to "dirty" power delivery. I'm sure others with more knowledge will comment.

What did you do today?
Spent an excellent evening last night with our own EdipisReks. The Thiels sounded great, the whiskey was smooth, the beer delicious and the conversation insightful. Thanks Jacob. Of course the shovel blow to the head at the end was a surprise but I was protected by the alcohol and avoided the cellar.

With what existential crisis are you grappling right now?
Today while driving in Indiana, I crossed a bridge that had a sign saying "Nameless Creek". Now, did it really have no name, or did someone name it "Nameless"?

What did you do today?
Drove to just outside of Columbus Ohio. Tomorrow I'll do a run down Ohio 555, a nice stretch of twisty road. Tuesday I hope to connect with our very own Reksy to share some local beer and conversation.

What did you do today?
No luck. We lost. Though the judges didn't give us the nod, we had a large amount of the public come back for seconds and tell us ours was the best, so we felt pretty good. And the whole thing was for charity. People buy bowls for $5 and sample all the chilis. There were 14 cookers this year and it was a good time.

RIP Jim Carroll
Jim Carroll, poet and punk, passed away Friday at the age of 60. Probably most famous for "The Basketball Diaries", I'll remember him for the "Catholic Boy" album - a sweet taste of late 70's NYC punk. "They were all my friends, and they died." NYT Obit

What did you do today?
I hate when that happens. Watched the F1 race, mowed the ex's lawn, visited mom, cleaned and re-oiled an air filter, ate real mac & cheese and now sitting in Three Floyds drinking beer.

Perfect songs.
Genesis - "The Cinema Show"

Perfect songs.
Just thought of another - "That's Entertainment" by The Jam.

What are you EATING right now?
Celery root salad with braised pork cheek. Pork could have been seasoned more, but a splash of Lea & Perrins took care of that.

Excellent. Getting used already.

What are you listening to Part Two
Nice. One of my all time fav's. I saw him on that tour with Bowie on keyboards and Soupy Sales' boys as the rythm section. Me: Aladdin Sane. In the car. About the only place I listen these days. It's the summer of suck for me and music.

Possible Employer: Liberty National Insurance. Thoughts?
What he said. I worked for a major insurance company many years ago. During the training phase I was not dependent on commision but was paid a salary. I went through the training and did not have to pay money up front. I worked there for a little over 1 year, but as someone else mentioned, I had a problem with some of the tactics they taught you to use. This may not have been endorsed by the company itself, but by older salesmen there. But the comapany seemed happy to turn a blind eye. I never could get my head around some of these methods. My favorite was when trying to sell a husband life insurance, make sure the wife is there too. That way, if he turns it down, you can turn to her and say "well, if he really loved you, he would not turn this down." Pretty cold. But they are not all like this and times have changed to. If the career interests you, search out some of the better companies. Don't fall for the good salesman.

Perfect songs.
Beach Boys "God Only Knows" King Crimson "I Talk to the Wind/Epitaph" from the first album Be Bop Deluxe "Down on Terminal Street" Chuck Berry "No Particular Place to Go" Those are the ones that quickly came to mind.

netbook for $370 or less (taxes, shipping etc included)
I've got an original Eee PC I need to get rid of. 1GB ram, 4GB SSD. I've added an 8GB flash drive. I need to reload the original Linux on it, and unfortunately it's white. But I'll let it go for $100. It was used lightly and looks new. Give me a shout if you're interested.

Grilled Italian Sausage on a bun with onions and sweet peppers.

What are you EATING right now?
Nope. After thinking she could ride a Harley. She may yet, but not this year. On topic, I had a pepperoni & jalapeno pizza from Gino's East.

I'm helping her out after she shattered a kneecap. But yeah, some lines are being blurred here.
