    Thoughts on Apple laptops?

    For those of you that have an Apple laptop, what are your thoughts on it? This past week, my year old Dell XPS decided to crash. When I attempted to reinstall WIndows, the CD drive decided to die as well. So, while that POS is now being fixed, I decided to drag out my old Dell Inspiron laptop...

    I'm going to lose 100 lbs.

    Most of what you lost may have still been water weight though some was probably actually fat loss. You burn about 100 calories for every mile you run. Given that you were backpacking, and your weight, you may have burned more than this. You lose approximately 1400 calories per day just...

    Any experience with online college?

    If you are going to do online courses or a degree, your best bet is to go with a "real" school. There are many private and state colleges and universities that offer these programs. Go with one of these. Stay away from anything other than those and you will be fine.

    I'm going to lose 100 lbs.

    Losing weight and eating healthy really takes dedication. I started back in July. Three years ago, I weighed around 170 and ran 10 miles a day 5 days out of the week. By July of this year I was over 200 lbs, and feeling very unhealthy. I had my physical this past week and things are...

    Tanqueray Rangpur

    I have it and do enjoy it. I have to be in the mood for gin however. For something a bit different, try Hendrick's gin. It's infused with cucumber.

    Port Recommendations

    There are two types of ports, bottle aged and barrel aged. Bottle aged ports are aged in a barrel for only a couple years before being bottled. They usually take an additional 10+ years to fully mature...in some cases 30 to 40+ years. Barrel aged ports are aged in a barrel as the name implies...

    Warre's Sir William Tawny Port 10 year old

    Warre's is made by the same people that make Graham's and Dow's. While I have no experience with Warre's, I do like the ports under the "Graham's" name. Tawny ports are those ports that are aged in barrels as compared to bottle aged ports. One thing regarding the age of tawny ports. The 10...

    What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

    Vange, how was the Clement? I've been thinking about purchasing this as it seems to be a mixture of some of their best vintages.

    What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

    Nice selection. I've been stuck with rum for some time. Tonight it is just Cruzan Black Strap and Coke. This and Goslings must have been made to go with Coke.

    Anyone mechanically inclined?

    Throwing a rod at 45K sucks. Whoever had it before you must have beat the ever living hell out of that car. Might want to look at everything else before investing thousands of $$$'s in the car just to find the transmission fails, the differential fails, etc.

    Anyone mechanically inclined?

    Sounds more like transmission failure than anything. Problem with buying a used manual transmission vehicle is you have no idea how the person before you treated it. 45K miles may not sound like a lot, but for someone inexperienced in manuals, it's enough to destroy it. Transmission fluid...

    Perique Liqueur de Tabac

    Indeed nicotine is poisonous. A cigaratte generally contains about 1 mg of nicotine. A lethal dose is around 40-60 mg in humans. One would assume that the majority of the nicotine would be removed before it would be fit for human consumption.
