The Plex media server works OK, if you are after the transcoding nonsense. The Plex media center seems similar to XBMC (fork!) but the skins available for XBMC put it over the top for me. Since I run a real puter next to my PC, the transcoding features of the Plex server are not an advantage for me.

You live in CT, and only drove the Merritt once? There surely are rural parts of CT with "poor people" but those areas are nowhere near the lower 2/3rds of the Merritt. Luxury SUVs and sedans (and the occasional cool car) are norm on that stretch.

Great. Thanks for the info.

Is it true that with a DX body and a DX lens, a 35mm focal length will actually be closer to 50mm, for does that phenomena only occur with DX body and FX lens?

I have a D5100 that I've been using with the kit lens to document the fact that I've procreated. Interested in a wide aperture lens to get sharp fast pictures and good lower light usage. Thoughts on 35mm vs 50mm for mostly child shooting with a DX body?

Howie needs to go also, but he is not a football guy. Solely blaming him for the poor drafts and personnel moves silly.

Glad father and daughter escaped unscathed; happy the X6 didn't. Torn over the s63.

According to Wikipedia the Lærdal Tunnel cost $113.1M USD. That has to be a mistake. If a similar tunnel where to be built through a US mountain, the bribes to get the contacts would alone cost more.

Salmon boards are generally bamboo. Bamboo es no bueno when it comes to booze infusion due to its high density.

Good point, I'm normally a sweaty mess so I should have thought about that. That said many 'o marketers are shilling weatherproof yet breathable gear that also juliennes vegetables. I have to take their word for it.

"life" could have meant that the ole lady made him trade it in for a chauffeured Phantom in this case.

is this the line for apps?

Why wouldn't they just water proof the shell? Wet down feathers sounds like a potential smelly/moldy mess.

Capsules are universally terrible.

Beautiful car, great photography skills, and handsome to boot. You're the complete package.

It is insane that you have three blues on this list, and none of them are LeMans.

LeMans Blue.

We still get the M5 with a proper manual transmission (for now).

I, for one, welcome our inertial overlords.

We lack all imagination in these modern times. Damn the computer modeling and anthropomorphic test devices, we need more people jumping off tall shit.
