Very Nice!! -
KFC down on the corner has BBQ chicken…just thought you guys might like to know.
Don't forget the McRib sandwich at Mickey D's.
Now we're talking real BBQ. Is Ronald McDonald feared in Texas?
I don't know about Texas but seeing he's a Clown he scares the Heck out of me.
Always remember: John Wayne Gacey was a Clown.

Yes, made with nothing but the the finest dry-aged Soylent Green.

My last two steady girlfriends from High School.
Both are too 'mature' for me now but fun way back when. -
On one of my performance reviews back in my military days, the XO wrote that i have “incredible perception.” He said i could read a person accurately. I’ve lost that talent here though…
Impossible to perceive someone through text alone.
even if i use a Mac?
Mac alone = no.
Mac and See'er = maybe.
Mac, See'er and crystal ball = yes!
I can lease both of the later to you for a small fee.

Well I can understand your desire for KFC BBQ after having to eat NC BBQ all those years.
BBQ'ing is not smoking. Its Grilling.

The B&C DE-120 is an excellent driver, I have been using it since 2013 on my Eliptrac HF.
Currently the DE-120 is being phased out and being replaced by the even smaller DE-110, also a great driver.
In the picture, it look like maybe a thread on adapter on the original CT-125 horn to mount the B&C driver. Can anyone confirm?
This driver and your Elliptrac horn is what I used in my original ported/upgraded "Super Heresy/Baby Cornwall" speaker, now owned by Jim Jimbo. A bunch of guys in the Chicago area heard it and were impressed. Nice tweeter driver that stomps the K77. That being said, I prefer the sound and measurement of Bob's original tweeter driver, which I'm currently using in my Super Heresy's. BUT, either way, you can't go wrong with any of the 4 combinations from either provider.
Claude,
Do you mean Bob's CT-125?

Oiled Walnut! My Belles are Oak. Would have loved to have oiled walnut instead.
GLWTS - they look great!

So, what has:
18 drivers
14 channels of the latest generation ICEpower amplifiers
4 additional Class D amps
8,200 watts (per speaker)
weighs 143lbs
and cost $78,000 (pair)
The 90th Anniversary Beolab 90 from BANG & OLUFSEN.
http://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/sound/loudspeakers/beolab-90
It features Beam Width Control, that provides precision & placement of sound in your space, including a full 360º dispsersion.
PT Barnum could have spent his entire life endlessly looking for that one sucker dimwitted enough to buy anything that looked like these look and cost 1/4th of the asking price. They could throw in the TV, classy concrete floor & wall, a bed, some 150 year old scotch, Viagra and 2014's Miss Denmark wearing her best come hither look dressed in her birthday suit and I'd still not be a buyer.

I demand a refund of everything its cost to join this place!!
It's your choice, we can give you either a full refund or a warning point, just let me know which way you would like to go ?
Edit; just thought of it, your a nice guy so if you want you can have both if you like.
Worse thing ever would be spending a week's sentence in the Klipsch Forum Cooler... forced to watch Yoko Ono dancing and screeching out her last album in an endlessly replayed loop.

Wagyu....for real high end competitions, sure, but for the normal dude that knows his way around a smoker and grill, and just wants to put a really good brisket on the table on a Saturday or Sunday evening....I think it's a bit of overkill.
USDA Choice and/or Angus for the weekend warrior, IMHO.
I go for grass-fed Alberta Beef. I can buy it when I'm visiting Montana for ~ 1/4th of the per lb price here.
This is my favorite Alberta....
Mine was named after this one: http://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/5-things-about-queen-victorias-rebel-daughter-albertas-namesake-princess
As was the town of Caroline Alberta, the large Caroline, Alberta Gas Field, Lake Louise Alberta and at least four different regiments in both the Royal Canadian Army & Canadian Army in the last 150 years.

Dwilawyer,
For some reason, the other thread is closed and I couldn't answer your question, which was very important.
When I say "more democracy" I mean the principle of more "will of the people." It's not really just elections, it is well beyond that. As C. Wright Mills and Wm.Domhoff showed, the entirety of America is ruled by elites on strictly elite values and interests. This affects all aspects of our life.
It has always been this way, and as far as I can see, will always be this way. I want to use a firm example to demonstrate this: for over 50 years grass roots America has favored by 6 to 4 a universal style health care program, as they have in many rich countries. And yet, they can never achieve this. There are many, many other examples, such as corporate personhood, wars, progressive taxes and so on. Elites give lip service through their political proxies, but never acquiesce to such popular values.
You are right, and let me chime in on this.
All government are run by elites and upon elite values and interests. Take, for example, the concept of ownership of land by way of titles and deeds/conveyances. This concept was unknown in the Western Hemisphere until Europeans brought it here. Not all of the elite are callous sociopaths, and so they will acquiesce to some "popular" values. But naturally, they will run the government in a manner which serves their interests. That's what governments are for. If you could write the laws, would you write one which says, "Jo56 can't have Klipsch speakers?" Of course, not!
Where I'm living there may have been no titles or deeds to persons occupying the land 150 years ago but what there were in abundance was thousands of Blackfoot Indians who were not inclined to share their land with the Cree, Sioux or Northern Cheyenne. Ever. They were not real willing to have white homesteaders either until after they (the natives) cut a Treaty deal with the Crown enforced by the North West Mounted Police. Prior to the treaty, Hudson's Bay Trappers could trap safely only with the then land occupant's prior-permission.

Warning points are earned by being naughty.
Warning points are subtracted by.
A: Letting Chad give you an Atomic Wedgie.
B: Letting Chad give you a swift kick in the nvts.
C: 50,000 post counts.
D: Buying new Klipschorns at full retail.
I'm doomed as I'm not down for any of the above. Ever.

I think you mean "Warning Points"....I was going to recommend you ask someone else, but, alas, he's no longer with us.
Yes 'points' which must come from 'posts'. Did the missing guy 'depart' when he could no longer hear any of the music he was blasting?

OK, all you Lone Star boys and girls, here's a challenge for you. Although I have volumes of cookbooks on smoking, grilling, bbqing, etc, etc, and have combed the internet of course, I would still like to hear what the forum has to say about the best way to cook a Texas style beef brisket. To brine, to rub, plain salt and pepper, low and slow, hot and fast, hickory, maple, mesquite, oak, pecan......you name it, I've read it. But I know there are quite a few folks from Texas and other parts of the South here and would love to see what your favorite recipe would be. (Everyone else is invited to join in too, of course....)
I've cooked em before, but with only moderate success, so I thought I'd reach out here. It's getting to the end of smoking season here, so I'm looking to get in a good one before it gets too cold.
Thanks in advance, and, as usual, pictures are always welcome!!

I'm not from Texas but I've smoked brisket, ribs, sausage, Pacific salmon and cold smoked cheese. An entire beef brisket, done properly will take as much as 12 hours to smoke. I never brine or use a marinade, just a dry rub the day before. Store the brisket at least overnight in a non-reactive pan in a 40 degree refrigerator. Dry rub it with anything you like the taste of in (dry) spices. You can smoke it in any hardwood above but I like to alternate 2 to 3 - for example oak and hickory. Mesquite is too intense for me for a long smoke. It goes well with beef, in moderation, or for cold smoking steak before you grill it a day or two later.

Confession: I don't think I've ever had a brisket. (if I have, I was unaware)
What does a brisket do for me that a thick cut NY strip doesn't?
A brisket is smoked long and low and slow, and turns from a very tough piece into an extraordinary tender piece (if done properly). Your thick cut New York is cooked hot and fast, and is also tender when done, but it's a whole different ball game. Brisket is not easy to do well, and very easy to screw it up.
Brisket can also be cooked long and slow in a 275 degree oven in a liquid marinade (i.e. not smoked) and if done properly and not over cooked provide you the most favorable roast beef cut you'll ever eat... including prime rib.

I'm looking to buy a 75' TV , so far I checked out a Sony XBR-75X850C 75" Class 4K 3D Smart Ultra HDTV . Anything better in that price range ?
Check out Costco.

When you wife tells you that she hates your over-priced Klipsh Heritage speakers show her these as your chosen replacement. Don't forget to add that you need to list the house to pay for them.

John Lennon, had he lived, would have been 75 years old today.
Rock and Roll is getting old faster every day.

A few lessor things:
Arcades. At least the kids could have some social interaction meeting new friends, now they stay locked up in front of the Demon box, playing a Demon shooting good guys.
What about MTV and the music videos? I already hear people grumbling over this one, but it had a good run and I enjoyed some of the videos. Heck even I was young then. Did groups get paid any royalties with videos? I don't know.....
Cane Sugar. Why is it gone? It tastes so much better, but the dang boutique drinks you get with it at the store are expensive.
Cane sugar is gone in Coke and Pepsi simply because it costs the big bottlers more than high fructose corn syrup.
If you don't want to ingest a lot of future health problems avoid the consumption of any product made with HFCS. Buy Mexican (cane sugar Coke or Pepsi) or Coca-Cola made in Canada which is made with beet sugar or pay more and drink less boutique colas.
You can get Coke bottled in the US that uses sugar only instead of HFCS around Easter every year. Look for a yellow cap on the 2 liter bottle that indicates the product is kosher (blessed by a Jewish rabbi) as it will have been made with sugar. It will also be the same price as the HFCS Coke.

Maybe it's meant to sound just ducky.
That may explain why I dislike eating duck.
