  11. Somehow your post congers up visions of a breaching blue whale's blowhole- http://www.gifbin.com/bin/062012/1340728300_whale_blows_rainbow_out_blowhole.webm
  12. So this morning I was in charge of taking Lance to fencing practice since Mary was at the hospital checking in on one of our friends who is very very sick. Since I had three hours to kill I decided to pop into Performance Bicycles to update myself on the latest bike porn which I cannot buy. While roaming the carbon fibre wheel section I hear some loud racket in the next aisle. I look around the corner and see two guys bent over a recumbent bike and working on the chain ring. That's odd I thought, then I notice one of the guys is in a wheel chair with a US Marines sticker and a Gary Sinise Foundation sticker fixed prominently on the back of his wheel chair. Soon they are joined by a second man, also in a wheel chair with a US Marines sticker on the back. Between the two veterans they had a total of three working limbs and a lot of carbon fiber prosthesis. My "appreciate what you have" button took a massive reset at that moment.
  13. My bet is that Mike was using this http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=754508&gclid=CjwKEAiAxfu1BRDF2cfnoPyB9jESJADF-MdJlOjdKPbqbX86aSvLVsEMNSoQhnFEQAz3RDaicHlLxBoCQsTw_wcB&is=REG&ap=y&m=Y&A=details&Q= to shoot those photos.
  14. To me your post implied that the variability was a joke but the score had relevance. I was not posting to anyone specifically. My point was that the significance of the score is marketing subterfuge.
  15. Despite what you may all want to believe your FICO score is merely a marketing tool with which to justify the margin or points your lender is going to use to gouge you with. Do you really think that the institution that issues you the loan really gives a crap whether you will pay back the loan over time? No, the issuer bundles all the consumer loans they issue into a package and sells it to a institutional investor as quickly as possible because the initiating lender makes their money on the profit margin of the sale versus the value of the asset they offload to some poor sap aka pension fund retail investor or mutual fund. Sorry but Dan is more on target than most of you realize. Again sorry if this comes off as a bit too harsh but you give the industry far too many ethics points than are deserved. The fewer of you screwed by the man the better.

  17. Happy Birthday and good luck with the house hunting.
  18. Speak for yourself Dusty.
  19. Well some brains (like most of the ones at the former headfi forum) can be read and known in the amount of time it takes to order and pick up your latte at Starbucks.
  20. Congratulations! It goes without saying that you must be one spectacular student to have earned this fellowship. Just returned from a five hour fencing tournament so I must drink a lot of wine.
  21. Happy Birthday!
  22. Happy Birthday Mike!
  23. Happy Birthday!
  24. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAHAM!
