  1. If you can find a small digital amp, naaman had very good things to say about the hsu research bookshelves. Don't know if you NEED a subwoofer with those or not but they are quite inexpensive compared to quad offerings.
  2. If you have an option consider something with sequences and series. Something that deals with convergence and divergence properties. All the MBA kids in the financial management and financial math class had a very hard time with formulas and understanding why things behaved the way they did when math kids were just taking the discrete function and taking the limit of it as the time approached infinity. Diff eq would be helpful as well. Is the MBA program more about management or finance? With the former I don't think much math is required but any place with a financial emphasis would probably require comfort with ode, some ode and some series.
  3. I don't know why but those black and white things are freaking me out.
  4. That is fucking awesome Jacob! Glad the transcript fiasco didn't mess things up. And Math classes are fun
  5. Happy bday Dan

  7. Call apple Nate. I had the same issue maybe 4 days ago. They were very helpful in getting it resolved.

  11. My copy of the tokina 11-16 was utter rubbish. Might have been a bad copy. It also had a fidgety way of switching to manual focus which I didn't like.
  12. That means you buy both monkey man. Even I know the HC rules by now.
  13. Damnit I just purchased a domain and hosting day before from them. Oh well.
  14. Jp you left all the crunchy bits on the bone.
  15. That looks very nice Dan.
  16. Happy birthday guys
  17. Smart CJ 1 - 0 stupid CJ. A Christmas miracle Why the fuck do I have to go out right now
  18. Solved the other problem with using an sae hex key instead of metric. The other cabinet is done completely for now. It is (relatively) cold here so the oil isn't drying all too well after 4 coats. Finishing shall resume in the spring or as soon as there is more sun out during the day. But now it looks like this. Thoughts?
  19. Attached a photo so people see what my problem is. It's a very tight fit from the sides as the driver is flush with the front panel.
  20. 1. Tilting was tried. It didn't work. Gave the back of the cabinets some good whacks with a hammer. Nothing. The panels were Cnc cut there there is little to no room.
  21. While putting together the speakers I ran into some issues. Help would be much appreciated. 1. I placed the driver in one of the cabinets but the holes aren't lined up parallel to the sides and the top - the screw holes aren't squared like they are supposed to be. The driver is in the recessed slot where it is supposed to be and I can't get it out of there to adjust the position of the driver. Any thoughts? I am going in blind if I try to poke it out from the back hole but I am scared I will damage the driver if I try to poke it out. There is a piece of wood that blocks view of the front hole from the back hole. 2. The other driver was centered correctly with 3 screws holding it down but the 4th one's top stripped half way down into the wood. I can't screw it in further (nor do I want to in case I need to change the driver). Can't pull it out either. The gentleman at Home Depot said that the screws aren't readily available so I am not sure where to find replacements from however I am considering using plain old phillips head oval wood screws even though they won't look as nice as the supplied screws. Supplied screws are hex nut wood screws. I've tried the rubber band technique. Didn't help.
  22. Forgot to mention it also has my initials engraved on the back of the bell! And it's all black - just the color scheme I wanted.
  23. I couldn't find anywhere specific to brag about my awesome girlfriend who played Santa this year. I received a big kiss and a littman stethoscope. It was the best present ever and extremely thoughtful. I feel guilty accepting it as i know it cost her a small fortune and I'm not sure I'm worthy of such a nice instrument. Anyhow, I've been playing with it all evening and it is so much fun. What did Santa bring you this year (if you already know)?
  24. Propf of heaven - I gave it 45 pages and can't go on. It sounds supremely contrived and the description is one that someone would probably give of what they saw on an acid trip. The guy thinks he is god (neurosurgeons are known to have the god complex but this is different) but such certitude in things that might not be true or certainly haven't been proven to be true is reminiscent of religious zealotry or cultist behavior. The stark absence of humility makes this utterly unreadable for me. He keeps reiterating that it is the most important thing to him now - telling others about his NDE but then after every descriptive paragraph all he says is - oh you can't possibly imagine this because you suck or think about the most beautiful thing you have ever seen, now multiply that by a million and that's what I saw but that sucks for you because you can't imagine it because you didn't go on this acid trip with me and because you are a simple peasant. I read a quarter of it which I think is a fair try. I implore others to give it a try and see of they can get through it.
