  1. The BHSE sounds pretty different, but IMHO, the KGSS and BH sound pretty close.
  2. I know nothing about that price range. Rolex would be the de facto goto brand, I would think, but I would also look at Breitling (I've only ever seen one I like, though, myself), and Omega. Me, myself, personally, if I had that kind of money, I would probably get an Omega or a Zenith. My recommendation to her would be to go to a high-end watch store (and be steadfast about saying "no" on the initial visit), and just start looking. I have found the line, "I'm just looking -- I've only just begun my search...so I'm just to here to get some initial ideas..." is a nice salesperson turn-off-er, without them kicking you out of the store and still helping you. I know of one in Towson MD, but don't know what the good ones are in NY. Do you have a Tourneau there?
  3. Rachmaninov, "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini", Simon TrpĨeski, piano, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Sir Andrew Davis conducting / Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 3, BBC Philharmonic, Gianandrea Noseda conducting (came with this month's BBC Music magazine)
  4. It's not so much "better" as "different". Well, no, I think it's better (and several others will, too) for a variety of reasons. (1) The e-ink technology is an entirely different viewing experience -- not everyone thinks that this, alone, is worth it, but I do. (2) It's designed to do one thing (mostly): reading. So there's no touchscreen, no softbuttons constantly getting reprogrammed, or whatever. There's buttons for page forward and page back, and that's all they ever do. That kind of thing. Again, not everyone is going to find this superior -- I do, but I'm not a power iPad user. I think if you are a power iPad user, you (a) get used to the screen, which, for an LCD, is quite nice, and ( you get used to navigating within the confines of "that world" (iPhone/iTouch/iPad/touchscreens). So the advantage is not as much, and therefore outweighed by the weight of having two devices. (Others feel free to pipe in, this is just my observation of iPad vs. Kindle society -- and yes, I do realize there are people who have both, and that having both sort of undermines my argument, so you especially, feel free to speak up.)
  5. Monkey: you do realize that in addition to digitally replacing the entire crossover, the JH3A also can be used to EQ things like a slightly hot top end.
  6. I didn't see one for "superior".
  7. His cost him less than an iPhone.
  8. That meme never gets old. Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look moar like
  9. Welcome to 19 posts ago.
  10. And, they cost you less than an iPhone.
  11. Took my mom to Ikea, bought some Not lamps (yes they are!). That took most of the day. Putting them together == about 5 minutes each. I Ikea.
  12. [dusty]Pfff[/dusty]
  13. The purple crutch is what makes it for me.
  14. Got fingers crossed for Steve, Naaman...
  15. My current dream watch, the Bell & Ross BR03-92 Instrument Phantom Infiniti:
  16. I like this one
  17. Hey, it's better than the alternative. Oh...uh...(begins whistling, wanders off)
  18. That sucks, Steve. I sure hope that there aren't any other complications, if it is canine diabetes. Is there no such thing as emergency animal care? I've never needed it myself, so I honestly don't know.
  19. The whole point in imitating a recipe is to use it as a starting point for your own variations -- there is by no means any requirement to get it right for anyone who isn't eating it. Good job! I think the thing I want to imitate the most -- the one thing I like the most that I find the hardest to do -- is the caramelized onions.
  20. Getting...sleepy...
  21. OMG, that's hilarious, you have to listen to what the kid is saying, I think the la-la-la's are supposed to be onomatopeia to heighten the adrenalin of the viewer. Like subliminal messages, except overt.
  22. High Anxiety was wonderful. MBFTMFW,B!
