Never heard of that???

It's a very, very common term in the financial world. Think of a chart where a stock or bond price takes a sudden, sharp decline, recovers just slightly and then stays...

What the Brexit vote really brought out (coupled with Trump in the US and AFD in Germany) is just how dissatisfied so many people are with the status quo and how compliant the press has become with...

Not exactly. They changed the outlook from neutral to negative, indicating that they do expect the rating to worsen with the near future. Rating itself is unchanged.

Goodness...hadn't seen this thread.

Tripod recommendations: Manfrotto makes about the best price/performance out there, Italian company that acquired Gitzo a few years ago. I've been using a Gitzo...

Well, the idea of a monitor is to have an absolutely flat response throughout the usual hearing range, so that the speaker design itself doesn't add or detract anything from the music. The in-ear...

Hi -

I picked up a pair of these recently and have been absolutely floored by the quality of sound and build at the price point. I've been on a quest for right and proper in-ear-monitors (the IEM...

Very quiet NYE with family. Went to bed far too late and got up far too early...

Well then you want one of the superzooms out there. If you pick up that 1200D, you'd need to add around 1000 quid (at least!) for a lens that would match what you need, and you'd probably end up...

What bolarberim said. But if you've got Canon gear, then stick with it. :-)

I do my macro work with either my EM1 with the Oly 50 f2 for 4/63 (one of the best lenses ever made...) or one of my...

Indian whisky didn't win, 'twas Japanese.

Try a Rittenhouse Rye if you can find it. There's a lovely herbal sweetness to it. Wheat whiskey is terribly dry - I have an Oyo Michelone Reserve that is...

Goodness. So many lovely bottles...

I have a fairly eclectic selection at home, including some rather hard-to-find bourbons from Colorado (Breckinridge and Peach Tree Distillery) and I'm fairly...

Actually, in Europe it's simply called Polenta, which has a firm place in Italian cooking. You can get it in different grinds if you look hard enough and while it's not quite the same as grits, it's...

Heard this this morning whilst driving...Dire Straights, Heavy Fuel:

Worst hangover that I ever had
It took six hamburgers and scotch all night

Just pulled a half-rye out of the oven, 75% normal wheat flour, 25% 1150 grade rye flour, flavored with caraway and cardamom. Yowza.

The key to great artisanal bread is high hydration. For this...

Actually, it's cake baking that is the science: follow the recipe exactly or it doesn't work. Bread is vastly more flexible (in terms of taking liberties during the fermentation processes and...

Waaaaaaay back in the last millenium, I asked on a forum, one full of the most pretentious a-holes around, what the difference was between the Speedmaster Professional and the "non-professional"...

Yep. In that sense (and in others) they're sooo much the Americans of Europe. :-)


I love bringing that up talking with French colleagues. I can see their blood pressure rise by the second...it's...

Well, until the introduction of the so-called American Method (industrial production of watches using interchangeable parts) pretty much each and every watch was hand made and hence unique. No...
