After reading through this thread and researching the cameras I have now narrowed my choices and would like to get some advice. I am just starting out but have a lot of ideas of what I would like to do with one of these cameras. If all goes well I will invest in a DSLR after I have mastered one...

^ Since you are in Chicago I suggest seeking out the beers of Goose Island. Also, 'tis the season so find a couple good Marzen lagers like Spaten Oktoberfest, and if available, Brooklyn Oktoberfest. Welcome to the ever-growing world of Craft Beer Zealotry! Prost!

After I read about a paragraph of reviews like that^ my brain shuts down and all the words read as "blahblahblahblahjanetrenoblahblahblah blahblahblahposhspiceblahblahblahkangaroo leathersoccershoesblahblahblah".

No Three Floyds at the moment. Nor the Russian River I'm affraid. However, in the last week I recieved 4 beers (!) from the Rare Beer Club and am currently tasting the Lost Abbey Avant Garde. It is a hybrid style (as is just about everything that LA brews) of a Biere de'Garde/Saison/Farmhouse...

^We don't have everything but we do have between 700 and 750 craft beers at any given time. It helps to have 41 beer coolers, the most in New Jersey. And the selection is growing, in the next several months I hope to add another 50 to 200!

As I wait in breathless anticipation for the remainder on my ingredients and my Phil Mill my thoughts have begun to ruminate. I have, or will have soon, enough ingredients to brew several 5 gallon batches of craft beer, all of which are going to be Belgian in style. At least they were...

In the meantime I can offer a little insight, hopefully. I own a CD5001 and had seriously conciddered buying the SA8001 at the time I bought the former. After some research and contact with Marantz, retailers, and a few owners of both the general concensus was this: For standard Redbook cd...

Could be for Gallagher's new act...smashing watermelons doesn't do it anymore, but $30,000 worth of tv's? Now I would definitly like to see some smashing. Ooooooo, the sound of breaking things!!!! I LUV that sound!!!!

When Homer ate the Guatemalan Insanity Pepper he had a vision quest. His spirit guide, who was a bit of a pranqster, was a coyote (voiced by Johnny Cash). When Homer awoke the next morning in a sand trap at the local golf course he "realized" that everything he'd experienced the night before...

^That's an old bottle! Or, at least, not from normal US distribution. The La Trappe beers are now labeled as Koningshoeven. What is the "best by..." or bottling date on that one? Hey Cleophus...where do you get your Ij? I am trying to locate it so I can carry it at the store I work in. We...

^Sor far I prefer the bowls over the flats. I guess the comfort factor of the Grado pads comes down to how big or small our noodle and ears are. Every Grado fan prefers one over another for one reason or another, me, I'm a bowl man. However, I'm going to try some Jumbos. Killercrush planted...

HHF-1 Elite w/ Fiddle-Back Flame Koa (HF-1 #45) *update* These puppies sound brilliant. As a collector of rare jazz recordings I am often listening to sources with a very polluted lineage. Multiple transfers, from acetate to vinyl to analog tape to digital tape to digital wave, and...

Um.....my neighbor had my stuff.......the packages were delivered to the wrong address. My neighbor thought that UPS brought the boxes to him because no one was home. So he went for dinner and drinks taking his sweet old time. When he came home he brought them over. The apology call to UPS was...

Hey Apu, ya got any of that beer with the candy floating in it? You know, Skittlebrau?!

AND THEY ALSO STOLE A BARNES AND NOBLE PACKAGE I WAS EXPECTING TODAY!!! THREE PACKAGES ALL MARKED AS DELIVERED TO ''CUST MAN'' AT A TIME NO MAN COULD HAVE RECEIVED THEM!!! I HATE UPS!!!!!!! So to reiterate UPS stole 40 pounds of brewing ingredients and equipment, a Lee Konitz cd, a John...

UPS just stole my malt and digital scale!!! I was expecting 40 pounds of malted barley, glass and a digital lab scale. When I got home and tracked the package the website claimed the package was delivered an hour before I came home to "Cust Man". After several heated phone calls to UPS and...
