The Wrap Tells the Real Truth About the Departure of Madeleine Brand from KPCC

The departure of Madeleine Brand from KPCC is both a scandal and a fiasco. The Wrap explains the "shotgun marriage" between her and A Martinez. All I can say is wow.

LA Observed Reports on Madeleine Brand's Departure from KPCC

Pairing with A Martinez just a few days ago, Madeleine Brand has already left her new KPCC show. She's supposed to be in LA doing something that is more lucrative. I hope she didn't

New Degen 1125S with Preset Timer Recordings

 

 

Ante writes:

This seems to be new version of DEGEN 1125 radio - Degen 1125S. It says it has preset timer recording. Does this mean it's possible to pre-record radio program? Weirdly enough, Degen official website has a picture of DEGEN 1125 H, not S. Is there any difference between the two. Hard to figure out.

 

Dat Patrick Show: Not Even Good Enough to Ref the Lingerie League, Let Alone the NFL

 

 

This morning Dan Patrick said on 570 radio that the Lingerie League commissioner revealed last night that he fired one of the NFL replacement refs working on the field because he wasn't competent enough to ref lingerie games. Not even good enough for the Lingerie League but working on Monday Night Football? Pathetic.

Seikos Take a Bit More Time to Love, But the Love Lasts Longer

I'm loving my Seiko SNAD05. It took a day or two to really grow on me, but that's what I find with Seikos: They take a bit more time to love because they aren't as flashy as Invictas, but their subtly and class really settle in. I'll try to post a few pictures on my blog tomorrow morning.

Herculodge Pulls the Trigger on a Seiko Velatura SNAA93P1 and Trends Toward New Watch Tastes

After selling a half dozen Invictas in recent weeks, I finally dropped the hammer (pulled the trigger?) on this Seiko Velatura SNAA93P1. It has a 50mm case and ushers me into a new watch direction, away from Invicta and toward Seiko, Breitling, Tag, etc. 

The impetus for this new direction was twofold: One, I burned out of the big attention watches after donning bigger and bigger Invictas to class over the last five years or so.

Two, my Seiko Black Monster, a $200 watch, has far superior build quality and appeal over my far more expensive Invictas. 

A year ago, a reader said he suspected I was a shill for Invicta, receiving free watches from them. I suppose his suspicions have been laid to rest. 

Does Blue Ray DVD Player Operate Standard DVDs?

Our $50 DVD player broke after a year with little use. We're thinking of getting a Blue Ray. Will a Blue Ray play standard DVDs as well as the Blue Rays? I've read they do but I'd like confirmation.
