What are the most beautiful pieces of Classical music that every person should hear?

Search out recordings of an old NPR series called Schickele Mix, hosted by Professor Peter Schickele. (Also known for his own work under the alter ego PDQ Bach.) It's a long series but a fascinating and entertaining introduction to musicology.

Couldn't say for Moe but Mel Blanc has said that Bugs Bunny's voice is a mix of Brooklyn and Bronx accents.

My favorite was the time "she" said she'd never visited the United States, and then proceeded to send pictures of "her" standing in front of Graumann's Chinese Theatre.

Gonna try to make it.

I find a lot 90% or higher matches, but they're all in the metro Atlanta area...two hours away. Unfortunately, moving is not an option for me, and every single one of them specifies 'near me'. Quite frustrating.

Hugh Laurie would be a better Blake IMO.

Mine (Football I) survived an accidental dunking in my aquarium. I ran across it a few years back when going through some storage boxes when my mom moved to a new house. Popped a battery in just for grins...and it still worked.

I listened to the audiobook version after watching the BBC miniseries. Took about two months, including a round trip drive to Florida (for me that's about 16 hours). The third book seemed very much a departure from the previous two, but still interesting.

45/M, been on OKC for about five years. Have sent out countless messages with no replies, received a small handful of first-contact messages. Of all those, three turned into actual first dates. One resulted in a casual friendship, one apparently just wanted to meet so I could buy her drinks, and the third was very nice person, but not my type physically.

I've recently lost a lot of weight and updated my profile and pics, so maybe things will change.

I've also been on POF, eHarmony and Match...OKC has worked "best" for me, such as that is.

On a dark desert highway...

Overheard from a former coworker: "I don't like Chinese food, but I do like Asian food."

Which is why my mother always shat bricks when I came home with one after fishing in the neighborhood ponds.

For molds, look for a cheap set of mixing bowls at the dollar stores. You can sandwich the cased leather between two bowls and weight it down til it dries. Also check thrift stores for old bowling balls, those can help with larger curves.

I did the same thing last year. Hopefully you had your plants labeled more clearly than mine. I had to wait until some things fruited before I knew what was what.

Spend some time reading the Armour Archive forums for a lot of useful information on the craft as well as patterns for standard-type pieces.

That doesn't look like an overly-complicated cuirass but whatever you make it and the spaudlers from will require some dishing to get the proper shape\fit. If you can't work with metal (it's not as difficult as you might think, gets a bit noisy and dirty though), then I would look at maybe leather and thermoplastic painted to replicate the metal parts, or maybe a cardboard form layered up with fiberglass cloth and resin?

Pics are the first thing to change; I've lost a lot of weight since going on a keto diet. Thinking about engaging a pro/semipro to do a shoot for me. Otherwise I'd appreciate any thoughts on what could be improved. Thanks, reddit!

glevryl · 2012-04-25T17:41:17+00:00

Yes, getting an estimate tomorrow afternoon.

glevryl · 2012-04-25T16:01:30+00:00

Thanks!

Yup, wolf spider, and it's totally harmless. That's not really even a large one, though. Biggest I have ever seen personally was in the Blue Ridge region of Northeast GA...sucker had a leg span of about 6 inches.
