Do you use a cooling fan with yours? I was shocked at how much heat the XB360 pumps out, and doing so without tubes no less. Using either a fan specifically designed for the Xbox or just about any portable fan pointed at the vents seems to help. Bought two "Front Of The Line" tickets to the Universal Studios Halloween night. Hopefully I wont meet any zombies there.

Ocidn, kinda fits eh?

OK, so it is hot tonight and I go out to the back yard to get things moved around to prepare for the lawn to be mowed tomorrow. I reach into a dark equipment pit we have in the back yard for a motorized cover. As I am working the switch to close the cover, out crawls a two foot long snake barely inches from my hand. I nearly soiled my trousers, nice way to start my long evening.

Musicland Monitor? (ESC)

Some Linn Records WMA "Studio Master" Downloads-- Helge Lien Trio-- Hello Troll Karl Seglem- Ossicles

Perhaps they think you are Mayan and preparing for the end of the world.

Congrats Mr Santos!

Are you talking peanut oil as in cooking oil? Or is there some wood/carpenter variation? I have only been able to find cooking peanut oil.

I am not normally a synth music kind of guy but tonight that works for me.

Back on topic- what "vintage wine and vintage Port" Duggeh?

And that is why I wear a helmet while listening to my JH12s.

Me neither. (-X3?) Have you tried other tracks of the same album but different editions of the music? Perhaps it was the recording itself? I have found my JH13's to have an excellent balance of mids and bass, not too forward on the treble or mids, bass not laid back but just right on the speed and prat. I have been "surprised" though when playing certain tracks I haven't listened to for a while that the instrument placement seems to have moved a bit or become less clear but always determined later that it was a version of a cd that I have multiple copies and releases of. Like some of the Coltrane and Monk stuff or a Norah Jones recording that Luis tweaked for me. Ultimately Larry it always comes down to "to each his own". I like 'em and feel they have good balance, you make prefer a different flavor. You can get a room full of us together listening to a MBL system and I would bet you would have a variety differing impressions. Worse yet get a bunch of HCers together in a room with a pair of Merlins playing and I am sure a brawl would break out. *shudders*

Jim, what costume will you be wearing? Good luck to Wonder Woman Karen. Actually I think I saw another Wonder Woman last night while crossing Hollywood and Vine after the Phamtom Of The Opera show. Shouldn't she be resting for the race?

That's what Helen Keller said.

Bought some Scarecrow Vineyards 2nd label Cabernet and evidently some Sauvignon Blanc and some Pinot from Ojai Vineyards and some more Sauvignon Blanc from peter Michael Vineyards. All yummy stuff.

Edmar Castenada--- http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123403785 He combines my love of LatinColumbian Jazz . Al, wish I could make it up there next week for the concert, that would be some great music.

What irony! I have been listening to Chic Corea (with John Mclaughlin) and Christian McBride Number Two Express for the last two days. I love Brian Blade, let me know if he plays In Spite of Everything and what you think of that song. I find it very moving and my perfect evening wind down tune. I am very envious Al, enjoy the evening.

You must feel better Fitz or we will have to fax you some chicken soup.

40!!! Ok, I will use big letters then- Happy Birthday

'tis true Mike. Remember you will be coming from a region that experiences something like 63% humidity to a hotel that I swear gets no better than 16% humidity. I would recommend that you bring lots of moisturizer lest you wake up the next morning feeling like Tutankhamun.

X2, X2!!

Happy belated happy Birthday Wayne!

True dat, I have fluxed up many a soldering job using too much flux. I have only found the need though when soldering some internal wires to speaker terminals; some terminals just seem to refuse to be soldered.

-----wut, no schnitzle? I luvz me some wheat beer.
