I have to say...I am suspicious of the shadows in the lunar photos but admit I've never looked into it. Perhaps a project for tomorrow evening.

"When it snows in your nose, your brain catches a cold." I like Ginsberg.

I can't type worth a damn tonight. I just read my last post....yikes. Time for tea and an early exit, I think.

The earth rotates around the sun and provides the energy building blocks for life.....sonds pretty mystical and powerful, doesn't it Sean?

That's usually when I fall asleep. In general, if I'm awake past 10, I'm up till at least 2.

Hey, if you were living 4000 years ago and saw that huge thing up in the sky that let you see and kept you warm, wouldn't you think it was something mystical and powerful? Oh for sure. I completely understand it. And one can argue it's every bit as valid now as it was then. But these links between religions have existed since they were created and people are still ignorant of it. Life, I suppose.

It is scary how many religions can be directly linked to a belief in a Sun god or the movement of the stars...the Egyptians were well ahead of their time in that respect.

If you know your astronomy, you've got a good hold on astrology. And if you know your astrology, you've got a damn good hold on religion....

No one on Jeopardy answered "Who is Mark Knopfler?" when asked who the lead singer in Dire Straits was. But someone quickly answered George Michaels was in Wham....

Flava Flav is getting a new sitcom.....

For the time being, yes.

I like planetariums. When I was a kid, there used to be this inflatable dome they set up in the gym. Inside was a view of most of the major constellations. It was really cool...got me interested in space.

how do you post a review on there anyway? If the product is in the database, you can just find it in the appropriate section and fill out the review section at the bottom. If it's not in the database, click "Add Product to Database" on the top right hand side after you've logged in. Once you've added the product to the database, you can do the review. Hopefully that makes sense.

Scott, let us know how you're liking being out of town if you get a chance. Assuming that's where you are right now.

It would be easy if you were truly interested, sort of like the History of Jazz. Non music types and people who don't like jazz thought it was tough, I took it for a free study hall with good music. Thanks Sean. Simplified my point.

I want a couple of those HD amps. The Single-Cycle approach is similar in some respects to a Servo subwoofer...for those who have heard one, you know what that's like. Excellent potential in the HD line and apparently they are priced the same as the Slash series amplifiers....so why someone wouldn't buy the HD series is beyond me.

We face mostly the same challenges...there are a two English profs and one Computer Science professor I know of who thrive on failing students at every opportunity. But I figure you don't take a class like wine-testing because you want a good mark...you take it because you want to learn more about wine-testing. I see your point, though. I would guess that is Lucy but I'll be damned if I know what era that was from. I even tried to look it up on Wikipedia and IMDB with no luck.

I don't see how any class related to wine could be more difficult than other applied sciences...but I do see how it would surprise people by being more difficult than they anticipate. And the lessons you learn would hold no less value just because the class is difficult. I think you should take it, Jim. We don't have enough classes like that here.

There was a brief discussion of this over on DIYMA a little while ago. Basically, there is this aura that surrounds Image Dynamics products that has inflated its reputation well beyond its performance. That's not to say that the IDQ or the IDMAX is a bad driver....just that a product like the Icon can easily approach and exceed either of them, in my opinion....particularly the IDQ.

Am I the only one who sees the parallels between this and people who are new to the forum? Guess I've been on the internetz too long.

Me too. I want to go down to that one at Orfield Labs and have a seat. Or even better, have a listen!

I should be studying, too, but I'm too busy on AudioJunkies.

Uh, they dont charge you until the item ships. Ive had one on pre order since they announced the pricing discount of the 1st 25 they are selling and have never been charged a dime. They do, in fact, charge people during pre-order although the basis on which they do so seems to be hit or miss. Aside from documented proof of this on previous pre-orders, there was someone on AVSForum just a day or two ago who was charged when he pre-ordered the 13.av2 and called them up to cancel his pre-order and receive a refund when the release date got pushed back again. He was told they would be available sometime in March. Which means the release date has been changed....again. Keep in mind they originally targetted June of 2007 as the release date. It's been changed a few times but at last they had a fixed date in January....and then that was changed to February 18th...and now it's been changed to sometime in March? What's even more amazing is that someone will try to justify this.

Agreed, Jim. Might have a nap on campus this morning, but probably not.

Are there any of us here that are happy with our GM products?
