Anybody going to be in the Philly area this week?

If so let me know I will be ther Wed and Thur.

TOP!

I did not go to the snow sculpture in Breck this year, but am stealing these pics from a friends FB.

The cool thing to note in the pic ^ is the cube of snow in the background. This is what they start with.

I'm gonna have to go check that out someday. I would end up with a bunch of water if I had to try to sculpt something out of snow.

Great pics Jared!

Picked up a Smokey Joe Silver at Wally World to supplement/replace the Brinkmann. Just assembled it and the materials alone feel more substantial; and it actually has dampers! Imagine that! Pulled a flat cut brisket outta the deep freeze and even it fits. Couldn't be happier.

Those are some sweet pictures Jared! Thanks for sharing them.

I know you took pictures to back this up, right?

of course not

here's a placeholder, though

A lot of them know this, that's why they have the stickers and shirts that read "Zombie Outbreak Response Team".

I know some zombies, in fact they were over today.

of course not

2nd TOP in the slow hop!

Seems like the whole place has been slow all weekend.

yes, yes I do love this new grill; turn on the box fan on low, open both dampers and I had flames shooting 2 feet out the top one.

A struggling soap actor who was allegedly harassed by his neighbors and condo board into euthanizing his beloved pet pit-bull mix took his own life last week, leaving behind a note saying he was racked with guilt over “betraying” his best friend.

Nick Santino, whose acting credits include recurring roles on All My Children and Guiding Light, committed suicide last Wednesday — a day after his 47th birthday — a few hours after euthanizing his dog, Rocco.

In 2010, the management at his Upper West Side building had imposed certain restrictions on dog owners and banned the housing of pit bulls. Since Rocco had already been living in the building, he was grandfathered in and allowed to stay.

Still, Santino’s friends say he was constantly harassed by neighbors and members of the condo board who wanted him to get rid of the dog. “People were complaining about his dog,” said neighbor Kevan Cleary. “It was open season on him.” Neighbor Lia Pettigrew concurred: “Everybody knows that he had been harassed by the building management.”

After someone complained that Rocco was barking, Santino was threatened with a $250 fine. “The dog was not a barker, but somebody complained that the dog would bark,” Cleary said. “He felt like he was in this battle because he was the only guy in the building with a pit-bull mix.”

Eventually, Santino felt he had no choice but to put Rocco to sleep. After the deed was done, Santino reportedly approached the building’s doorman and handed him Rocco’s dog treats. “Give these to the other dogs,” Santino said with tears in his eyes. “Rocco is no more.”

Shortly thereafter, the troubled Brooklyn-born orphan, who grew up in foster homes and was part of 9/11′s first search and rescue team, died of an apparent pill overdose.

“Today I betrayed my best friend and put down my best friend,” Santino wrote in his suicide note. “Rocco trusted me and I failed him. He didn’t deserve this.”

Santino’s love for Rocco was well-known. Having adopted Rocco from a shelter, he sought to clarify their relationship on Facebook: “I did not rescue Rocco, Rocco rescued me.”

A condo board member who spoke with The Post refused to accept blame for Santino’s suicide. “I’m sorry the man is dead,” said board member Marilyn Fireman, “but it has nothing to do with the pet policy.”

Funeral plans for Santino are on hold at the moment. His relatives say they are waiting to receive Rocco’s cremated remains so they can be buried alongside his owner.

+1 for a slow hop. Tired of this bipolar weather. 40 degrees and then 10 degrees and then 40 degrees and then ten degrees. I never know what to wear until it's too late!

Tried to make his job come to life. World is better without him

Some people never cease to amaze me on this board. How do people claim to know how to build and design a custom box, but don't understand that you don't have to give RMS power to a driver?

Getting so tired of the "x vs z" Fi speaker questions.

Is anyone an AES member subscribed to the E-Library?

Or if your a student at a college, I can look up and see if you have "free" access to it.

I don't want to pay $20 on a white paper (Creating Source Elevation Illusions by Spectral Manipulation).
