Was listening to: Opera's Greatest Moments by Royal Philharmonic Orchestra I haven't listened to this in years and forgot how good it is. I ripped it after playing in on my speaker system. Now listening to "Horowitz the Poet" (Deutsche Grammophon).

We have a chance to see Brad Mehldau this Friday. I know nothing about him. IYO, is he worth a couple of concert tickets?

What band does he sing, er crow for?

I just booked a king room from Thursday night (6/3) through Monday morning (6/7) using the link from the HF CanJam thread. I had no problems but there wasn't an option for a double room.

I've been waiting for "Law and Order: SUV", where LA cops roam the freeways search for cell phone using SUV drivers burning up the Earth's precious resources.

If you like this, I highly recommend that you buy the Eastwind Direct-to-Disk recording of LA Four "Going Home" It's out of print but appears regularly on eBay and other places.

I hear that there is a nice Pass Pearl available.

I really like this particular Schubert recording.

Sorry to hear about the weather issues there, Nate. We are on the second day of a forecasted 6 days of rain. So far the forecast has been accurate. Unfortunately, the storms will also move east and hit the rest of the country. I hope that you had a great time at your sister's in Nashville. I'm sure that she was pleasantly surprised by your attendance.

I didn't watch the video as it was obviously not something I wanted to see. But if she is now starting to exercise (instead of just making a gross youtube video), it's a big step in the right direction for her and she deserves encouragement.

Congratulations on getting your KGSS Budi. I hope its sound is what you're looking for. As far as editing goes on HC, one has 15 (I think) minutes after saving the original post to edit it. After that, whatever was written is there for posterity.

Happy Birthday, Grahame. :prettyprincess: Rule Britannia!

Both.

Besides the fact that you can't plug it into a Blue Hawaii.

I agree. For us Muricans, replacing "level" with "league" would make it clear.

Happy Birthday! :prettyprincess: Mmm, treats.

I missed the trip to Roscoe's. I'd like to get in on this one.

What's the problem Wayne? Don't you owe your firstborn to somebody?

We have three and one was a late comer to the party. So occasionally there is literally a pissing contest. It helps a lot to be sure to clean all the old spots and, sure enough, I found some with the UV light. To anybody needing a UV light for this purpose, I can heartily recommend this light. Pee spots show right up. I had a cheap, pencil-type UV light and you had to be right on top of the stain to find it. This one makes it really easy.

Who cares about the daytime activities? When are the nighttime activities?

When I bought our HT setup last spring, it was for watching movies and I wanted the surround experience. So I got a smallish 5.1 HTIB (HT in a box). To ease the wiring issue, I got a "wireless" connection to the rear speakers, which was an additional option. Wireless here means that a signal is sent wirelessly to a small amplifier to which the two rear speakers connect via normal speaker wire. The setup is a big improvement over TV speakers and gives fairly good sound (for a $700 system) for movies. A setup like this is non-obtrusive and may work for you aesthetically while still giving you surround sound. So you might want to look into this. Disclaimer: I've never listened to a sound bar and am just assuming that it doesn't really do surround. An earlier post alluded to that too.

Just finished this: Michael B. Oren - Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle East It's a very even-handed analysis of the events leading up to the war, the actions of both sides during the war and the modern implications from the war.

Yes. I'll be on the hunt for hidden, criminal cat pee stains.

Is it too late to negotiate round-trip tickets to all CanJams into the contract? Otherwise, ^^ x3
