Happy Birthday 2014 Rooster!

Sonnymax, I think I will follow Stefan Wood's advice from the speaker wire thread and buy from these people. My comment about saving money with in-wall wires was based upon what Amazon is offering. This costs $30.44. http://www.amazon.com/C2G-Cables-29172-Velocity-Speaker/dp/B0002J2BQA/ref=sr_1_26?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1395108238&sr=1-26&keywords=12+awg+speaker+wire+50+ft This costs $24.99. http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-2-Conductor-Speaker-Copper/dp/B00BWRX1MO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1395108362&sr=1-1&keywords=12+awg+speaker+wire+50+ft

I listened to the Camille Thurman a great deal for much of last week. I like it. For whatever reason, its album cover is up on Spotify, but the music is not. ***** The Mimi Jones is also not yet up on Spotify. It is mostly a vocals album. I like it a lot, but I wouldn't call it jazz. More like adult pop. There are some instrumentals, which surprisingly enough remind me of Hatfield & the North.

Thanks FU! A great service to the community!

I'll come back tomorrow, and catch up on the doings of the past week. But first I want to point out that the league's website has a poll with videos of recent exciting finishes. I know you'll enjoy them. http://cfl.ca/article/the-great-debate-wildest-cfl-finishes

Think vitamins and antioxidants. Hops kill viruses. Dark beer is better. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/03/16/surprising-health-benefits-beer/?intcmp=features

RIP. Yes, I too thought that he was much younger.

Here are a couple that might be interesting.

I had no idea that she had a daughter with Marlon Brando.

Scott, I think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill! I'll just pull the trigger tonight.

Cynthia Lynn, the actress who played Helga the first year of Hogan's Heroes, has died at age 76. RIP. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/hogans-heroes-cynthia-lynn-dies-76-2014123

I received the T20's, and after a burn-in period, I have found them to be quite satisfactory for my purposes. Now let's consider again speaker cables. My question is this: I can save at least $7.00 by buying a 50 foot roll of in-the-wall cable. My cables will be out of sight anyway, so I'm wondering if I should splurge on "pretty" wire. Is the $7.00 amount so small that I will wish that I had spent it?

Happy Birthday 2014 Chucky!

You're welcome MJZ! I believe that these are all single-disc issues, but oldies.com has a large number of Montreux DVDs on sale, typically $4.98 or $5.98. http://www.oldies.com/search/results.cfm?results=DVDs&q=Montreux

Happy Birthday Conrad!

Jim, I read quite some time ago that screen savers are pointless for modern screens, so I unclicked that option as well. I don't think I made a mistake regarding the subject matter at hand, but now I am having problems with a new USB hub I got that doesn't seem to be working. Sometimes the mouse isn't connected. I am forever getting a notice that I should be using a faster USB port. So it's kind of frustrating, but I think I'm OK.

This is going on again. They are looking for small businessmen who are willing to once or twice a month discuss briefly their thoughts about various business-related subjects. They typically pay $20 a month in Amazon gift cards. In December they paid me $150, but I don't know if they'll ever do that again. Here's the link: http://smallbizbuzz.me/?registrationCod ... 9aefb53fc0

Another thumb up for Jerry!

Thanks guys! I've changed both the sleep function and the screen saver to "never", and I've unclicked the majority of the startup programs. We'll see if that all works better.

I am having two problems with my desktop, and I hope that you folks can help me. I am using Windows 7 Home. When I am away from the computer for a while, it goes to sleep, and I can't get it to wake up. How can I stop it from going to sleep? In the alternative, how do I wake it up? The last time I upgraded Spotify, they added the feature that it would automatically boot up when I turn on the computer. Where do I find the list of programs which automatically boot up so that I can delete Spotify from the list? Thanks!

Rich Peverley collapsed while on the Dallas Stars' bench tonight. The game against the Columbus Blue Jackets was postponed as a result. Must be pretty serious.

This one is now up on Spotify. I've been enjoying it. It goes by quickly. However, I think that a little too much spotlight is put on her drumming.
