New Dell 2209WA eIPS monitor.

have the same...never had any issues...i thought about getting the 23" version when it came out (there was a pretty crazy sale price), but anything i want to watch in 1080P i'm probably going to send through my OPPO and onto my pride & joy...

kuro elite signature ftmfw:)...

How much does a Kuro Elite Signature go for? I remember looking at the prices a while back and thinking they were way out of my price range...

just short of three grand for the 50" 101fd (the best) if you can find it at magnolia...more like four, five or six grand for the 60" (the 141fd)...totally worth it...only the newest Runcos allegedly compete...

3d is shit this generation...you'd need 120Hz on each eye, 4 pairs of $150 glasses for the kids & hdmi 1.4 which, btw, is going to be replaced before it gets a foothold by an ethernet cable standard...

Yea...that's out of my budget, I paid $1300 shipped for the one I just got. The EX series isn't 3D either. I will probably never voluntarily buy a 3D tv because for me it's effectively paying more for lower resolution and more headaches.

fwiw, you could've bought a sony for each eye for less than what i paid:)...

srsly, though, that was a stellar deal...'specially if you didn't hafta pay tax...sony typically wins the war as far as richness of color...you don't hafta worry about orange or green crush...& samsung's color reproduction is typically too cool....

plus, it's 2" bigger!...

Bought time.

make it! it's easy. Homemade Grenadine Syrup Recipe

I may just have to do that -- practically no-one has anything but Rose's, even if they carry Stirrings. I found exactly one other grenadine, but the first ingredient listed was "high fructose corn syrup", so I passed.

From today's WOOT

I like that knife, too bad I just missed out on it Grats on your purchase

Damn, missed that one. Nice knife.

Nice buy Nebby!

I forgot to get a damn pomegranate, but you're right. What's the best thing in which to store simple syrup?

I store mine in small glass Maple syrup container, something like this (without the Maple syrup of course).

Nice buy on the St. George, I like it. Would be interested in your opinion of the Michter.

From today's WOOT

I saw that but passed. I did grab a 5 port USB hub during the Woot Off for 3 bucks.

got me some crack and speedball. looking forward to building this amp.

Hurray for Crack! Placed my order a few days ago as well, looking forward to putting it together.

Does this make you see a greener version of yourself? Also, is absinthe a cocktail only beverage, or what? Never seen it anywhere.

I have seen it mixed, but that's like buying a pre-mixed Long Island Iced Tea...(shudders)...

Thanks for the info, I hadn't checked on it as I assumed the typical mom-and-pop shop waiting method of "it'll be shipped when it's ready to be shipped".

I don't understand your question Colin or Dusty's answer...

Basically, does one ever sip Absinthe neat, or is it strictly an ingredient in mixed drinks?

i hate waiting for stuff to come in so i called today to ask if they had the kit in stock. she said yes and i gave her my cc #

You can drink it neat but it is pretty strong. I like slowly dripping a little water and watching the louche effect... I am not sure if you would call adding water to something a cocktail. Probably if you also add sugar, you have to call it a cocktail though.

Drinking Absinthe: Original vs. Recent Methods - Absinthe Fever

Jim's link is probably more than you need to know (haven't watched it) but the original method is dripping water over a sugar cube into some absinthe, but it is also an ingredient in tons of cocktails. Drinking it neat wouldn't be the norm.

I don't understand ... Dusty's answer...

That's okay, I answered a different question from a parallel universe, pay no attention to that...
