It looks awesome, Tom. Those speakers have been catching my attention for years, but I'm afraid I won't be able to ever listen a pair. Are you liking them?

So Ken, your niece not only isn't a child anymore (which I thought she was) plus is a DDD whose charms got her a new bike. Amazing. I'm glad she's not needing the cast that long. The tibial plateau fractures are bitches, but if she's not going to need surgery, will be OK.

IMO Webber would make an excellent second driver for Ferrari. He and Alonso respect each other very much and are kind of friends. Dasha is a cute girl, and seems sweet. The former wife wasn't bad either, not so flashy (perhaps fashionable is the word) but didn't show as much interest for races as Dasha. I wish fanatism doesn't spoil Bahrain's date. I'll be working so not sure I can watch the race

The Official Head-Case Photography Thread.

Thanks, now we need to make sure they still keep some of those kits in stock. At other sites they're back ordered, perhaps discontinued. That very same screen protector model isn't available at Amazon.es, but they have this and this which don't look bad. Regarding the memory, if the kit doesn't include a card, I had thought to get him something like this Lexar or this Sandisk -

Thanks for the replies and the generous offer, cj. The guy has some photography knowledge, but I wouldn't say he's a power user. However he's clever and a quick learner, so IMO the camera with the higher potential would fit him best. From this POW the 5100 could be a better idea. I also think he'll take more profit from the zoom lens until he figures out if he's "that interested" in photography. I've spotted a few interesting offers. - One, the one looking best, includes the 5100 body with a 18-105 f/3.5-5.6G ED VR objective. This would leave us some dough to get him a decent memory card. - For almost 90 euros less the objective could be the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR which perhaps is too basic, but going this cheap would allow us to get a spare battery or a bag. - On the other end of the offers, the highest I think we could reach is the D5100 with two zoom objectives the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR and the 55-200 f/4-5.6 AF-S DX VR I really don't know how good are those objectives, possibly the two zooms option is overkill but if the quality is good and he'll be well served, even future proof in case he wants a higher end body, we could sacrifice the memory card and other ancillaries for this. Possibly the choice with the 55-105 is a save midfield, but if the objective is crap, then we would avoid it. Unfortunately geting the 5100 with a 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR-II AF-S DX gets too expensive. Any further advice will be very welcome. Thanks. -
That's awful. I'm sorry for the victims, but relieved none of you or your relatives have been involved, mates.

I need some advice from the Nikon experts. Our elder resident is about to end his formation and we have the tradition to give them a party and a decent gift. Looks like this year the gift is going to be a DSLR camera. The budget will be in the 600-700 euros (use € as $ for cameras are here more expensive than in the US). With this we can get him a newer Nikon D3200 with a 18-55 lens, or an older D5100 with a similar zoom lens. If we're lucky and get together more money, we might stretch to a D5200 body, so no lens. Opinions, other alternatives? -
Happy Birthday!!!

I've had a lot of fun today watching it. Poor Weber though, suspicious too much bad luck for a weekend. Massa should have left Ferrari long ago.

Sad news, nobody should die that young. I'm sorry for your loss. -
Just finished the F1 Shanghai GP.

I see. It's possible she's still growing and the fracture comprises some of the growth plates, which is more delicate. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, hopefully they find a faster consolidation and can remove the cast earlier.
-
Sorry for your niece, Ken. Why 3 months cast? I think that's too long, poor girl. Vicki, do it!!!!
-
Oh well, the resemblance lasted for two tunes, what came later was too weird for my taste. I don't think it makes, as a whole, my heavy rotation list.
-
Going through this too. Interesting so far. Reminds me of Peter Gabriel yet it has little to do with him.
-
Indeed, that's really tempting.

Happy Birthday to you, three gentlemen!!!!

Feel free to PM me then

Odd Problem With MS Word
Torpedo replied to Augsburger's topic in GoRedwings19's Computer Help Hotline
Yes, I guess it's silly the malware would just screw up with a few files, but only the designer of the bug knows what the hell pretends. OTOH isn't it possible that you're losing other files and you haven't noticed yet? -
Odd Problem With MS Word
Torpedo replied to Augsburger's topic in GoRedwings19's Computer Help Hotline
Sorry for the bad news. I just hope this is not due to a malware, but then it could be a next to fail HDD. Have you checked the drive with Avast? I like the way it scans without loading the OS when you install it. -
Nope, I didn't see the plots, I'll check them later. So looks like I'll have to look for some T10 too The T30 as I got them to sound, specially when fed with gobs of power (using the B22), have one of the most incredible bass I've experienced, but the top is somewhat rolled off and "soft", which I don't really mind. They're relaxed and fun to my ears. I should recable them, but not being a soldering iron expert, I fear to damage the drivers.
-
Great! I've been interested in the T50 for a long time, but they're so rare... Got the T30 from Dmitri a few years ago. I love it after some sensible modding
-
When you get the T50 we might arrange a mutual exchange, I've got the T30

Outstanding.
