A Deadly Sin ala DOTU Ummm tasty. I have decided that Wild Turkey Rare Breed is a very good cocktail Bourbon.

If they have some of THIS you may want to bring a bottle back.

The grip helps immensely in making it easy to handle without adding any additional bulk. That being said it is a pretty small camera, which is what makes it great for me. I have it with me all the time and never really have to think about grabbing the camera. Just buy it at B&H.

Yep you shouldn't have to do anything except eventually replace your prefilter cartridges. You don't even need to boil your water since it is filtered.

Have a great birthday Ryan!

Nice glass, and nice beer to go in it.

RIP.

Heh, nice cocktail choice Al. Cheers.

Need to finish my lab exam for ecology so going with a simple celebratory whiskey. I think it is going to be an easier exam than I originally anticipated.

^^^ I'm not really a watch guy, but I like that watch.

Sending good vibes Ollie's way John. Good news here today. Just received an email from my dean. The university board has officially approved my promotion to associate professor and the granting of tenure.

I know what you mean Shelly. "The Shot" was my worst Anvil experience. To make up for it try a little Hanky panky

Happy Big Birthday Guy

It would be OK. By the time he got there, all of the biscuits would be gone.

Nice Marc! I will likely be mixing one up later. The yellow chartreuse has a different flavor than the green. Unexpected this is. Now the Bensonhurst 2 oz rye whiskey 1 oz dry vermouth 2 tsp Maraschino liqueur 1 tsp Cynar Stir with ice and strain in to a cocktail glass.

Anywhere to watch this if you do not have HBO?

Well, finally back to exploring the Boroughs. First up Greenpoint 2 oz rye whiskey ½ oz yellow Chartreuse ½ oz sweet vermouth 1 dash Angostura bitters 1 dash orange bitters Stir with ice and strain in to a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon zest twist.

The two real questions that need to be answered though, is how soon for those peripherals and how big a performance jump will there be for real applications, not benchmark tests. I remain both mildly hopeful and mildly skeptical.

My guess is that thunderbolt is unlikely to be much of an advantage in this generation unless Apple gets off their duff.

This is from David Wondrich as printed in Esquire. Ingredients mint 1 teaspoon sugar 3 ounces bourbon Glass Type: old-fashioned glass Instructions (Representing the High Kentucky School of Julepistics) Place 5 or 6 leaves of mint in the bottom of a prechilled, dry 12-ounce glass or silver beaker. Add sugar and crush slightly with a muddler. Pack glass with finely cracked ice. Pour a generous 3 ounces of Kentucky bourbon over the ice. Stir briskly until the glass frosts. Add more ice and stir again before serving. Stick a few sprigs of mint into the ice so that the partaker will get the aroma. Still not enough mint flavor? Try this: For each julep, lightly cover about 10 sprigs of mint with superfine sugar, add an ounce of spring water, macerate, let stand for 10-15 minutes, and strain through a fine sieve into the ice-filled glass. Then add whiskey and proceed as above. If you'll stoop to maceration, you might also want to float 1/2 ounce of dark Jamaica rum on top. In the dark backward of time, the Proper Construction of the Julep, like the Beauty of My State's Women and the Timing of Pickett's Charge, was one of those topics that an American male with social aspirations was expected to regard as a matter of honor -- at least, if said specimen was a son, nephew, cousin or acquaintance of the South. Just about every state in Dixie had its own sacrosanct way of handling the mint, the sugar, the ice, the booze. Duels were fought. Names were called. Brushing aside all the tedious to-and-fro about brandy, rum, and rye (before the War between the States, a true southern gentleman would be hanged before he'd let whiskey pass his lips, and even after, when standards had slipped, no Marylander would build his julep with anything but rye), it's that mint that caused most of the trouble. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the Mint Question is as the "filioque" debate that so exercised medieval theologians -- moot, moot, moot. Hypersweetened iced tea and Coca-Cola have taken the mint julep's place as the Grits Belt's summer cooler of choice. Whether you muddle the mint or slide it into the glass altogether unmolested matters as much to the vast majority of southern manhood as whether the Spirit proceeds from the Father to the Son or the Father and the Son. Ecumenical to the quick, we'll take our communion from either school without scruple. Whatever your denomination, here are a few things to keep in mind: 1. Use a prechilled, dry 12- or 14-ounce glass, tall and slim (better yet, of course, the traditional silver beaker). 2. Crack the ice, making sure to drain off any excess water before putting it in the glass. 3. Don't handle the glass with bare hands, as the touch of a hand kills the frost. Likewise, each julep should be served with a napkin or small linen doily. 4. The glass will not frost if in the wind, if wet, with undried ice or if excessively handled. You can sometimes speed the frost by twirling the glass or by placing in coldest part of refrigerator for about 30 minutes. 5. Use only the freshest mint and, of that, the smallest, most tender leaves. 6. If you use a straw, keep it short so you can get your nose in among the mint. I myself prefer higher strength Bourbon's as there is a lot of crushed ice to dilute it. George T Stagg makes a most excellent julep. I usually add a dash or two of Peychaud's bitters but I loves me some bitters.

The only real heat I notice on the MBA is when it is charging.

I believe that any microUSB cable should work. Like HERE

I went with the maxed model because I did not want to mess with it when I had. Honestly don't know if it makes a difference as I have never even used a 1.4GHz model. For me it was worth it because I roll that way. I also agree with Dan about waiting. If it was me, and I did not need it yesterday, I would wait as there is not a real down side. If they don't update in June, buy it then. If they do update then you have the choice of going with the new model or picking up the prev. model a bit cheaper. But then again I waited for both a Singlepower ES-1 and a BHSE, so I do have a bit of patience.

Sorry to hear that Al.
