A CA cigar B&M shop that is restricted from allowing smoking within its establishment? That's a toughie. It appears comfort and convenience are outta the picture and you're limited to competing by price and selection - two considerations that seem at odds with each other with your lease and...

It takes a few extra steps and thorough due diligence to save some cash over the internet - travel included.... but it can be done. 1) Input your travel parameters through one of the large search engines like Kayak (my personal favorite). They will tell you the total cost (inclusive of taxes...

I know someone who lost their restaurant to a fire caused by a pile of greasy rags spontaneously combusting. Scary stuff.

In this weather, I agree. But wort can be gooey messy. And hella' hot! I'd rather mess around with it over the lawn.

Why not one of those butane turkey fryer setups? Inexpensive and mobile. I'd prefer to sit outside and brew the wort.

Those Better Bottle things look way cool. I would definitely opt for those if I were starting up today. As it is, I started out with glass carboys and used those until I lucked out on a private sale from one of the beer forums and got myself a stainless steel conical fermenter for a relatively...

Flyertalk and other like minded travel oriented forums have sections discussing and comparing specific customer reward programs.

John Palmer is in my local brew club. Nice guy. Pretty unassuming demeanor. I'm no fan of buckets. I also prefer glass. Until it breaks. I can't stand bottling either. Life is a sigh of relief once one starts kegging.

One of the best decisions I have made was doing the same switch.

Ugh, I hate bottling. Move on to kegging when you can; if you can.

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised there's not more action on this. Unless people aren't familiar with it. It's pretty darn nifty. Google Wave ain't too shabby either.

Cool beans. Should be fun. What's the setup like? You using buckets? Carboys? Conicals? Mash tun? Etc???

I actually don't have a problem with this. It's lecturing and restricting adults I have a problem with.

Funny you mention this. I nearly posted a thread of similar topic. I was watching Rocky II on cable late last night and realized Stu Nahan was depicted calling the fight from ringside while prominently smoking away on a cigar. Granted, it's a fictional story, but that scene was an accurate...

The latter is a perfect choice for beginners and non-beginners alike. The former is enjoyed by a smaller following and usually with an eye towards its budget status.

Thank you for your offer. I'd appreciate it. I'm going to use Your Uninstaller to delete the Norton programs and then load up Avast and Malwarbytes. If for some odd reason I'm later unhappy with that setup, I'll then use Your Uninstaller to delete Avast and will load up ESET (my runner up...

I get the free part. Nice price by the way - although I don't mind paying for software that was a clear cut winner. My question is if Avast (which it appears so far I will go with) and Malwarebytes will play well with each other. Or whether they will conflict with each other and create OS...

I fully agree on the damnits. But I can't think of a single bar or restaurant that closed for this reason after my state banned indoor public smoking oh so many years ago. I suppose it might have mattered if my area was like some states back east where one could be within walking distance of...

Well, it seems there's a lot of love here for Avast. I've looked at its website, compared it to others, and it appears it will do the trick for me - and at the right price too. Is it recommended I use this MalwareBytes program in conjunction with Avast? Or are there other firewall or any...

This Microsoft Security Essentials intrigues me. Straight from the source protection. Seems like it may work more seamlessly than other vendor's products might, and I would also hope they'd be well aware of what issues are plaguing their systems. I'm also looking at the Avast, mainly 'cause...
