Thanks! I got mine for 20% off at B&N.

It's now officially TODAY! (where I live)

Another reply from The Man. Interestingly, he usually doesn't answer the same question twice... KK : Hi Steve, My question is from the 1st Chronicles of Thomas Covenant and concerns the griffin. What was it that stopped Lord Foul developing the (his air force) griffin? Surely the Despiser knew he wo...

Yeah, but the Dodgers won the WS against the Yankees in 1981. Indeed. ;-) Beating your rival does not then make them less of a rival. College football would be much less interesting if that were the case :biggrin: Dodgers-Yankees, while not as relevant in the modern era, was one of the classic riva...

Fist, only to a Dodger fan. One, they beat us the last two years in a row. Second, there was a pretty big dustup w/ Shane Victorino in the series two years ago. Or maybe in the regular season right before that.

Gotta have something to cheer for or against

Well, given the four teams left...

I'm a Dodgers fan. Therefore, it is in the natural order of things that I hate the Giants and Yankees. And after the last couple of years, the Phillies aren't too likeable right now.

Go Rangers!

Without a doubt I much prefer Gabriel Genesis, but I've still always liked Collins' drumming and background vocals. Two of my favorite post-Peter albums are Trick of the Tale and And Then There Were Three...I agree the stuff after is way to commercial and slockish with certain exceptions like Home ...

I'm looking forward to driving down to SLC, walking into the nearest B&N, picking the book up with my own hand, looking at it, trying unsuccessfully to stifle the huge grin building on my face, carrying it to the checkout counter, and paying for it directly... I love being able to order things a...

What WF said.

I've been waiting 3 years (more accurately 6 or 27 years!) for this book. I'm a pretty fast reader but I want to savor the experience. We only get to read it for the first time, once.

Mount Thunder has been described as if it were a head and shoulders with elbows resting on the upper land and with the hands held in prayer. This description of the mountain makes think of a chess plalyer, ie Lord Foul, (who would surely play the black pieces!). When Covenant sees Revelstone for th...

Why in the world would you get rid of your CDs?? You all actually listen to music on your computer? Or worse ... an MP3 player?? 8O :twisted: How do you listen to music in your car? How do you listen to music on your--you know-- stereo ? Do you have your computer hooked up to your stereo? Music was...

Well said!

You might want to look at a program called Replay Gain too. It normalizes the volume of your mp3s without having to re-edit them in Audacity or Sound Forge. Great for all the ones you already have, or that you download from iStore or wherever. It takes a while if you have a lot of music but you can ...

That would have to be The Ritual of Desecration and "Lord Mhoram's Victory" , since they run on from one another so closely that they are like one big chapter. I love the way that even at the end of themselves, Mhoram, Amatin, Loerya, Trevor, Quaan, Borillar and Tohrm go far beyond their ...

Flash!! I just saw them today. Really. No, really. They headlined the first day at ProgDay in Chapel Hill, NC. www.progday.net/ProgDay-Bands.html I'm familiar with some of their older music from when Peter Banks was in the band but hadn't really heard them much. I think I'll be exploring more of the...

I second that!

From Genesis to Revelation is actually their first album. It pretty much sounds *nothing* like anything else they've done. The story is that the producer was trying to get them to sound like the BeeGees (really! remember this was 1969, not Night Fever). For me it was worth listening to once, for it'...

SRD's website still says Oct. 19.

Also check the settings under "Recording devices" in Windows. (or whatever it would be called on a Mac). Right-click the volume icon in the taskbar to get to it.

I still have a box of tapes I intend to convert someday too...
