Vertical dropouts in the 70's? Very rare...

Re: Decline in NYC Bus Ridership Concentrated in Manhattan and Brooklyn

One word that has freed me from the dreaded B61, Citibike. Not only have I cut ten minutes off of my commute (based upon getting on the bus and getting on the bike at the same time), I now control my own destiny as I am no longer waiting for a bus.

Re: How to use VLC to watch any video on Apple TV

Use the Track Synchronization in the Window tab of VLC and delay the audio track synchronization by -2 seconds. All in sync then.

I had this exact same issue. I installed a zone valve on the return to be 100% sure.

Re: Townshend Seismic Speaker Bars

The claim and solution make perfect sense. But aren't speakers by their very nature guilty of producing the same (micro seismic) effect? Decoupling the speakers from their base would eliminate this inherent feedback loop. Decoupling is nothing new for all other components in the audio chain. Interesting as this is just now being applied to speakers - or is it?

Beautiful bicycle indeed but tell me about the reasoning for the offset seatpost. Tilt adjustment appears to be maxed out and the saddle is still not level (of course actual saddle angle is a personal choice). It would appear that form is being sacrificed for function?

Late in listening to this but how poignant a listen it is with the current case of Greg Smith and Goldman Sachs.

My condolences to Sarah Green for having the patience endure to what is in essence a rant. Hamel presents the age old argument of Leader vs. Manager. There is nothing new here and the subjective tone of his presentation only undermines the real substance of his argument.

Reads right out of Duncan Watts' book, "Everything Is Obvious:*Once You Know The Answer".

So why should I buy the new AppleTV ILO buying the old one?

Re: Grape Radio Interview

It was great to hear you on the show and I was quite surprised to that they would even have you on, though they did have Kermit Lynch on the show some time back. The great fun is the comments on the Grape Radio site, the demonizing of natural wine continues to amaze me. Always fun to see Loring take the bait. Why does he always feel he has to defend himself? Is he really afraid of Alice Feiring's "opinion"?

No wonder the Grape Radio crew has a tough time pronouncing Italian wine labels, they can't even properly pronounce your name.

Tell Jay and Brian that there is plenty of great syrah that doesn't need a big hunk of red meat paired with to enjoy. Keep up the good fight.

"....fruit and no structure" Surprise, that's just the way she (Heidi Barrett) came off in her Grape Radio interview.

I didn't know you could get wine in such tiny little bottles. This must be how the French are dealing with those draconian DUI laws.

"Dard & Ribo 2007. They're all knock outs."
Unfortunately so is the price point. Thankfully I still have a couple of '05's I picked up cheap.

It starts with "Crush", a term I find extremely vulgar, but telling in the fact that they believe in Santa Claus, babies come from the Stork and all life's problems can be solved by writing a check.
