Zack Greinke close to hiring an agent.....
Godspeed replied to miggs721's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Doom and gloom. Doom and gloom. Maybe they're just "not motivated" to get a deal done at this time... This could very well be a tactic to shine light away from the talks. I doubt very much Grienke would want to keep this in the spotlight. -
I'd go online and make a Genius Bar appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar, seriously? The likelihood of me ever owning an Apple product just dropped from 10% to less than 1%. I guess when it comes to the in-store tech nerds, I'm more apt to degrade them as "geeks" instead of anointing them as "geniuses".

I purchased the 5.1 version of that Pioneer receiver for $150 a few months back. Might be a fit for you depending on your needs. In addition to being 5.1 instead of 7.1, it's a little less powerful, doesn't run A/B speakers, and has "only" 4 HDMI outputs instead of the 7 that comes on the 1121. It runs a fairly intuitive interface, but nothing compares to the knobs and adjusters that came with the pre-remote era. Think about your current set-up and realistically what you could do in the future. There's no way I could get my wife to go with 2 extra speakers in our living room, so 5.1 was my max. And I'm not sure how many HDMI connections are absolutely necessary, but it sure isn't 7.

It seems to me that Roku is more customizable and offers more services while Apple TV is easier to use. I don't own the Apple TV, but I do own the Roku and couldn't imagine it any more easy to use for its intended purposes. It's a simple device that does what it's suppose to very well. Getting into customizing it to play files located elsewhere on your network (which appears to be native in Apple TV) is when you gotta jump through hoops, but everything I use that's officially offered through Roku works just great.

Got my new work cell today. I swore after first getting a smart phone to use for completely free 22 months earlier, I'd never complain one iota about it. That honeymoon lasted about 18 months. This one is an infinite jump up from what I thought was an infinite jump up in 2010.

I love that the change to the new forum has done away with the dreaded empty page when clicking on a long topic with many hidden posts.

Yeah I love my Roku box too. Best Netflix interface on the 6 streaming devices I'm familiar with. Don't use it for anything paid except for Netflix though.

With each passing year, George Lucas manages to piss me off just a little bit more. Last year it was having the gall to make the prequels available separately for purchase on the BluRay release, as if anyone in their right mind would want to own footage of Jar Jar Binks and the wooden puppets that portrayed Anakin in lieu of the hacked up original trilogy. It was bad enough he had to package them all together, but I'll let that one slide. This now is just stupid. Infinitely more stupid than arguing about it, which is ridiculous in its own right but what else is there to do on a night like tonight, is the attempt to convey that a point-blank shot misses Solo and makes nary a sound. Oh, okay. Greedo is the George Lucas of bounty hunters. I've said this before, but I really am done with you George Lucas.

Their comedy outside of HIMYM is just horrible though. I just don't get Two and a Half Men or Big Bang Theory. I fully agree with this. It pains me to see Big Bang Theory labeled as "smart comedy". It's Two and a Half Men with nerds. That's it. Smart in comedy isn't the subject matter, it's how it's approached. And it's hardly ever approached dumber than with Chuck Lorre at the helm. Man does that guy pump out some horrible shows.

Whenever the Talking Head's "Once in a Lifetime" comes on now in the car, he does the hand chopping the forearm movement. That is so awesome. In keeping with the thread, when a contractor gives an estimate of $450/500 for a new dishwasher install not including permits, that's the best way of him telling you he has no interest in the job.

NMF - as a former Charter customer, I have an older cable modem you could have for free. It's the Motorola SURFboard SB5100. We bought it in 2004 and were last using it in 2008 when we were living in La Crosse. It's not on their modem compatibility list, although the 5100E is, but it's worth a shot. If you haven't bought one already, PM me your address and I'll see what I can do about sending you it.

I bought a year's subscription about 5-6 years ago because I needed my Bob McGinn fix. I never re-upped but my logon always worked. I can only presume that same rock-solid boundary will be in place for JSEverywhere...

I subscribe to the Sunday paper (Wednesday's paper also gets delivered for some reason) for about $1/week, an insignificant dollar amount that's dwarfed by the amount we save with the weekly coupons that come with it. That was a pretty compelling argument fur us to shell out the cash, especially when money was tight. Like the surly, grizzled, and ancient JimH5 http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif, I have no problem with this. It's kind of ridiculous to expect them to just give away content.

And since it's 12/23, a Happy Festivus to all!

'El Camino' is head and shoulders above 'Attack and Release'. Like a denser 'Brothers'. I like it the best of their last 3, and better each time I listen to it.

Concerts Worth Seeing... Live Music Thread
Godspeed replied to RayKingsForemanGrill's topic in Off-Topic Forum
Where were you sitting? I was sitting in the third level for the beginning of the show and moved because the sound was so bad. I ended up sitting in the second level and the sound was much better. I thought the sound was poor because of the location of my seats, but maybe the sound tech cleaned things up a few songs into the show.I was on the second level near the back. -
Concerts Worth Seeing... Live Music Thread
Godspeed replied to RayKingsForemanGrill's topic in Off-Topic Forum
I saw three concerts this year: My Morning Jacket (Riverside, Milwaukee). This band puts out, hand down, the best show out there. Their recent studio efforts have waned in quality (although I do believe Circuital was a step up from Evil Urges), but they still bring it top notch on tour. Two hour sets are the norm. This was my second time seeing them live though, and I thought their 2008 show was tighter.Bon Iver (Pabst, Milwaukee). I scored a last-minute ticket to the opening night of their tour mostly out of curiosity of how the dense and textured latest album would translate on stage, curious enough to make me attend solo. They definitely pulled it off. Great, great show. TV on the Radio (Pabst, Milwaukee). This was my second time seeing TVOTR live, after seeing them in 2007 at First Avenue in Minneapolis. The sound for this show was extremely muddled, but was either resolved sometime mid-show or it just turned awesome enough as is that I stopped caring. I've noticed that when I see an act the second time, I'm less in awe of the artist and probably more nitpicky than I should be about the performance. But that's probably a result of the higher expectations I place on my dwindling freetime as I grow older... -
It's that time of year again... here's my list: Bon Iver - Bon IverRadiohead - King of LimbsTV on the Radio - Nine Types of Light Fleet Foxes - Helplessness BluesBlack Keys - El CaminoWilco - The Whole Love M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming Panda Bear - Tomboy My Morning Jacket - Cirtuital Iron & Wine - Kiss Each Other CleanI thought it was a pretty good year all things considered. Got to see Bon Iver, TVOTR, and MMJ in concert this year in Milwaukee. I can't say enough how much of a blessing Pabst/Riverside/Turner is for this area.

Back to Community for a second, this is absolute genius: These mentions are from three episodes across three seasons. So very awesome.
