Nice drink and nice glass Shelly. I think I will use the same glass. Anvil # 41 Jack Rose **1 1/2 oz applejack **Juice of 1/2 lime or lemon (1 oz) **2 dashes pomegranate or grenadine (I upped it to 1/2 oz after the initial sip) Shake in an iced cocktail shaker and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wedge or lemon wedge. Much better than I expected.

Heh. Enjoy your snowday Pete.

I told you it was a recruiting tool

Anvil # 93 Tom & Jerry This is not simple. (Use punch-bowl for the mixture.) Take 12 fresh eggs.

That is beautiful. That is even more beautiful. Where are you going to have it rehandled?

Yes. Yes it is. Anvil # 97 Whiskey Skin The Anvil list calls for Scotch but I used Irish Whiskey to compare to the Toddy since the only difference is the lemon rind aka skin. (Use small bar-glass.) Take 1 lump of white sugar. 1 small wine-glass of Irish whiskey. 1 small piece of lemon-peel. First rinse the glass with hot water, put in the sugar, fill the glass half-full of boiling water, add the whiskey and stir. Serve with a spoon. No you are not having Deja-vu. It is pretty much the same drink as the toddy with the addition of the lemon rind. There is no spoon.

Should find out by May 2011.

Worked on my tenure and promotion portfolio. That was fucking exciting. Now drinking which is much better.

My Mac Pro is a great workstation and runs Win 7 great. In coherence mode I can almost forget I'm running Windows. It was essentially the only option for me as I need to run both operating systems. There is no longer any software I need to run that I cannot. Plus that big hunk of aluminum is a lot cooler than the Dell workstation it replaced. That being said I opted for two HP monitors that together cost significantly less than one slightly smaller Apple monitor. Dual monitors FTW. Also Excel does blow on OSX.

Never had any problem. Maybe I just feel comfortable with chaotic systems. Feels kind of natural.

That's such a 2010 argument.

The droid interface has caught up to iPhone IMO. Each still it's strengths but the pace of innovation is increasing on the android platform. It should be a nice race to watch and we all win from the competition. On the computing side Apple still wins, and that is coming from a lifelong Windows fanboy. Win7 runs at least as good in Parallels as stand alone, and sometimes I think it runs better.

Happy Birthday to you.

Nom, Nom, Nom.

Happy Birthday to you good sir.

I'd buy that.

All audio companies should be named after the designer and name all their products after military hardware. I want to buy a Trebuchet.

The Valhalla sounded nice with the LCD-2 at TamJam. It also had a nice Fit-and-Finish. As far as the company name, it's only audio so I like that they don't take it deathly serious. Plus the products pretty much speak for themselves. Solid and a relatively good value.

You should try out the 11.6 MBA. It is significantly different from a net book. It plays in another league. The keyboard is excellent, the only quibble is it is not backlit, but that would eat into battery life. The screen is also excellent and plays bigger than it is. Side by side with my 13" Asus tablet, the MBA has superior usability. If you decide you need 13" before you actually try the smaller MBA then you need to reevaluate your education. If you do decide you need the 13" screen size, you may as well just go for the MB Pro. You do not gain all that much in actual portability and you pay a high premium in performance/price.

I would use the term "selectively practical".

Hope your rack troubles get resolved soon Al. Have a great time visiting with your sister-in-law's family Marc.

That sounds like a great Christmas Vicky. Have a safe trip home.

Yesterdays dinner was excellent. Herb crusted pork roast with a mango-lime salsa Maple syrup braised Brussel sprouts Sweet potato souffle with Garam Masala Caramelized onions Fresh avocado Yum.
