  7. Michael H. Kenyon Language Download PDF Watch Edit For the crime novelist, see Michael Kenyon. Michael Hubert Kenyon (born c. 1944[1] in Elgin, Illinois) is an American criminal nicknamed the Enema Bandit. He pleaded guilty to a decade-long series of armed robberies of female victims, some of which involved sexual assaults in which he would give them enemas. He is also known as the "Champaign Enema Bandit," the "Ski Masked Bandit", and "The Illinois Enema Bandit".[2] Attacks and convictionsEdit The earliest attacks Kenyon was accused of having committed were on two teenage sisters in March 1966 in Champaign, Illinois.[3] Kenyon graduated from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1967 and left the state. The attacks thus ended in Champaign but started anew in Manhattan, Kansas; Norman, Oklahoma; and Los Angeles, California.[2] Kenyon returned to Champaign, and the attacks resumed, in 1972.[4] In May 1975, Kenyon took a job as an auditor for the Illinois Department of Revenue in Lincolnwood, Illinois.[5] He then committed additional attacks, including on three Cook County flight attendants.[6] He also attacked four women in an Urbana sorority house, one of whom was administered an enema.[1][7][8] He was involved in a minor traffic accident later that night, but was not arrested. Kenyon was eventually apprehended in suburban Chicago a few weeks later in connection with a number of robberies there.[9] During questioning he began to talk about the enema bandit. After his arrest he was judged to be legally sane; in December 1975, he pleaded guilty to six counts of armed robbery[10] and was sentenced to six to twelve years in prison for each count, but was never charged for the enema assaults.[11] He was paroled in 1981 after serving six years.

  8. OK you young-ins Do a search for "The Kissing Bandit" She visited baseball games all over the country years ago. In real life she had the same awe factor but I think the gal here is healthier! Came to out Thursday quarter beer nights at our Crockett Park/ Charlotte Orioles games several times. Morgana got arrested once downtown for *letting those puppies breathe like she always did! *We miss what you were together Ron & Ron! Will always have sand in my _____

  9. Hi Full Range, Yes I love the Garard 401 & 301, one day maybe I could have one 😍 I read your post "A Crossover Design on Single Exposed Board" it is very interesting and I congratulate you for this beautiful construction. Funny thing, I also put the second capacitor of my tweeter B & C DE120 to 8μF: My favorite album of Mike Oldfield is Amarok, but I can not find it in Vinyl, I only find the CD. https://www.google.com/search?q=mike+oldfield+amarok&oq=mike+oldfield+amarok&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.6145j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

  12. Can tell your single That would be worth it all by itself. As long as it's not one of those people who use so many coupons $100 becomes $5 after 40 coupons and an hour checkout time. You talked with some ladies, and got some clothes, you did well.

  13. they say confession is good for the soul ... well, i did something today that i’ve never done before in my life. I know this will come as a surprise to my forum brothers ... okay here it goes ... i was at the store and i used .... a .....coupon. For a split second, I became one of those people. There was clothing items on sale and i asked these two ladies that were shopping if they’d help me (because i’m shopping stupid). They were all excited and actually very helpful. They explained the sale items and then said use one of these ... and pulled out a coupon that cut an additional 15% off the already 50% that i getting without a coupon. I told the gal at the check stand, “I’ve never used a coupon so i don’t know what to do, so i just set it down.” She laughed and said, “we take care of it." I don’t think i’ll become Coupon Guy; but it was a way to break the ice with the lady shoppers.

  14. That sounds good, (would rather have that) the wife is making some vegetable soup, alot of it. Those pots are around 4 gallons each. Cabbage, carrots, onions, cubed sirloin, potatoes, corn, green beans, I think that's it, might have forgot something ? Tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes, It need to cook down a lot.

  15. It's on the list of things to do, it's a long list including 2 other buildings. Lately that trailer you can see to the back left was fixed up last, the roll up (broken) door was removed and a wall framed with a door and stairs added. Before you had to use a pulley system and a ladder to get the door open, it's a (free) storage room which is really needed. The other building is what has been worked on before the trailer door, it's the Education center, alot had to be done there, it now houses PWK's professional library. The other pic is of how far back some of the publications go.

  16. I need to downsize , I am out of space and just feeling, well, Old. I built these in 2011 and nothing seems to be getting done so I am offering them up to those who may be looking. They were built of some of the nicest mahogany plywood I have had the pleasure to work with. The backs are two layers of 12 mm Baltic birch laminated together. These are just the bass bins with Klipsch K33's (from Belle's), installed. There are four (4) of them. I will sell them in pairs or all 4. I live halfway between Plymouth and Boston and may be able deliver within a reasonable distance. I wrote about building them a while back in the following topic. These are still mahogany raw and it looks great still. o

  19. Morgana? A barrel of laffs... Busty? Covered the NCAA Hoops tourney one year in Detroit and post game a few of us hit a club in Windsor where Busty was headling. Naturally it was a "Hold My Beer" moment so the boys paid for my polaroid w/her. Can't post that one here but I can tell you I had the worst headache of my life for about 10 minutes after the photo. Yaassss, sports fans those things are Heaaavy! Just for you @JohnJ 😂 😂

  20. There is currently a good documentary on Netflix, The 24 Hour War. Covers everything well. How Shelby won as driver back in the '50s, to the AC cobra, to the Daytona models he made to run the endurance races. (seebring, daytona, la mans) Finally getting to setup the GT40s. Good viewing. Lots of historical clips.

  21. About wired on coffee. Waiting for the insurance adjuster. Expecting him any time now. Winterizing the house. Plastic on the windows. Weather stripping around the doors. When the adjuster goes, I have dead tree scoped out. Right along the road and not on the wildlife refuge. They get pissy about cutting their dead trees. Not a monster tree. A trunk full.. Steppin' lively today. Rain is in the forecast. Spose to start midday and go on and off until Friday. Accumulation? 3/4 - 1.5in. That will make wet. Wind tomorrow and breezy Thurs. The Chamber of Commerce weather is gone. Lucky to make 60` Wed - Thurs. think I'm needing to winterize my wardrobe. Dig out the long handles, socks .... clothes.

  31. Well it had to cook down alot, it's still thick even after I added a little water, but it's better than to thin. It's true, I have seen it plenty times with potatoes and onions, they can get pretty nasty.

  35. i could eat that. Regular Shepard’s Pie is a top five dish for me. I ain’t fancy ... more comfortable eating at a truck stop than a fancy joint. My top Five is: 1. Kale Soup (made with collard greens vice kale) toss in some hunks of Linguica 2. Soupas -- Festas Do Espirito Santo 3. Shepherd’s Pie 4. Burrito 5. A good hamburger

  36. Just got to thinking about this great community (in particular the Home Theater thread) and thought I would stop in and say hi as this community has always been a HUGE blessing to me in my home theater journey over the past 13 years. The last 2 years has been quite the whirlwind. I used to be in the Klipsch forums every evening after work, sharing, answering questions, writing articles / reviews of my Klipsch experiences here in the forums and sharing literally thousands of photos of Klipsch photos that I have taken over the years. I began making more videos on Youtube and found it allowed me to use my creativity in a way I could not in written text. I would have never guessed in 2 years the channel would grow from 90 subscribers to currently 39,000 subscribers. I still have a passion for Klipsch and is evident by the fact that out of the 5.6 Million views on my channel, 2.9 Million of those views are from the 71 Klipsch videos I have made over the past 2 years. I do not say that to brag, but to provide some explanation as to the reason for my absence from this community. Each video takes me between 5-8hrs from start to finish. I still have a full-time job, a home business in website development and a family of 6 so my life right now is ridiculously busy. All is well though. I'm still rocking my 1980 LaScala Trio, (4) RS62II and (4) CDT-5800-C-II for Atmos in my theater room and the RF7 III for my 2ch setup in the living room. Hope everyone here is doing well. I'll try to stop by on ocassion when I can. Michael

  42. I have heard several tube amps I can live without Had they been my first experience I would have walked away questioning others logic / tastes. Tube hiss due to poor design is an instant no go here, Amps with hum that can not be dialed out wont last a week. Bobs Lat is a decent amp but not to my overall liking. I have heard better IMHO Im listening to better as I type this Simply put BEST is in the "OPINION" of the person stating same, as opinions vary and rarely conform to others views, I still submit its not helpful or wise to call X Best when giving suggestions to a beginner😊

  43. Indeed! I posted that on here a while back and was amazed at how few were even willing to take the measurement! I guess if a person invested in a costly SS “arc welder” they don’t want to find out that they only need 1 watt to satisfy their loudest possible listening level. 😀 Maynard

  44. I hate to interrupt a good "real or fake" discussion, but just thought I would pop in and say hi! My normal boring life was a little more interesting last week as I got to see Aerosmith in concert while in Vegas. I was at a convention and one of my suppliers gave us a couple tickets so I figured "what the hell". It was excellent. Way better than I had anticipated. They had a couple sound issues but when it was right, it was very nice. They put on a very good show.

  45. I like Rockwell’s reviews as he is not afraid to state what he believes, and I totally agree with his comments about sold state amps and the Crown offerings in particular. The owner of the power supply company at which I once worked was an engineer for them back in the day, and he told me many times that his only interest was measured performance no matter how poorly the final result sounded. One of my coworkers was into SET amps and you can imagine the discussions that the 3 of us had about our philosophies. Maynard
