    Cigar smokers?

    Excalibur is a good value. Good smoke and the maduro is very smooth with hint of nut and cocoa.

    Cigar smokers?

    I don't think it's fake. My sister has an import/export business in Chile and she has some customers from Cuba. When they come to Chile, they'll bring some for her. Last batch was from about 2 years ago and I still have a few. I'll send you one. The only thing... Some of them had holes from tobacco beetle. If I find one that has no holes, I'll send you one (even if I don't find one and you don't mind the "perforated" cigar, I'll send you one) . If I remember it correctly, I think i had about 4~5 that had holes. They hatch at a temp above 80 degrees or higher and I left my humidor in the "hot" room all summer. Didn't discover them until I got to the bottom of the stack. Should have known better. Anyways, I still smoke them with my finger on the hole. The taste of burning beetle is exquisite.
  3. Wow... Flashback. I had a 1990 Integra GS (blue) when i was... um... 30, no 20. It was a great car, power windows, sunroof, ABS brakes. I believe the trim level went, LS, GS and came in 2 door hatch and 4 door sedan. I was so happy when my parents got me the car for Christmas. It was my second Integra. Had a '87 model before that. Great cars. Enjoy modding it and making it yours. Just make sure you don't turn your wheels full lock when turning as they are notorious (all Hondas) for premature CV wear. Go full lock and go back about 1/8 turn back and will help your CV joints last longer. BTW... this is not a GS model, as the GS had power windows and sunroof and ABS and spoiler. It's the LS model.

    Cigar smokers?

    I used to smoke about 3~4 per day when I used to drive a lot and stayed outside most of the day. Now I'm lucky if I smoke one a week. So, I usually go with my trusty Copenhagen, but that's a different story, entirely. I usually smoke Arturo Fuentes Hemingway - Classic and Short Story, depending on how much time I have to smoke. My sister brings me some Cubans when she visits me from South America but for me, it's not worth the price or the risk. Premium Dominicans are every bit as good as the Cubans, in my opinion. Most important thing about smoking a cigar is how to light it, and how to re-light it. If you light it too hot, you can ruin the whole cigar experience. Good times + good friends + good cigar =
  5. I think I have a different prospective on this... I wish I had enough money to afford this Blackberry without worrying about how much it is.
  6. How much was the shipping on this? Must have been enough to buy a new LCD.
  7. How many times did this help you?
  8. Buffet... Always go for brunch as it's the cheapest time (around $25). I highly recommend the buffet at Mirage. I've probably tried them all and the Mirage buffet has the best balance of price vs food choice and taste. Beats Wynn buffet in my opinion and much cheaper. For steak... Del Frisco's. Simply awesome. About $80~$100/person but worth it. Go there when you win a bunch of money. Go checkout all the hotels on the strip, as every hotel is quite unique. Hotels to see: Bellagio, Wynn, Venetian/Palazzo, Caesars Palace, Hard Rock (Off the strip but go for the chicks). Gambling at those high profile hotels can get expensive as most tables will have higher minimum bets, especially on the weekends. You can find lower minimum tables in downtown or some of the hotels "off" strip. If you're a poker player, I recommend Venetian as they have one of the biggest poker room in Vegas. This is where I play. Have fun!
  9. The link to this video was down... I posted an alternate link on top of this thread.
  10. I usually don't post emails, but this is truly amazing. I feel so small... A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'. The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'Yes' too. For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island . Father and son went on to complete the race together. View this race at..... NOW WATCH THIS VIDEO: Learn about devotion, strength, faith and LOVE....

  11. I agree with Cujo... If one of the drives fail, it's like losing 1/2 of a full disk and you'll lose all data. RAID 0 is "striping" where data is written on 2 or more hard drives sequentially(or manufacturer specific algorithm). The computer sees the two drives as one as the RAID controller does the translating. As the data is written on 2 different drives, it improves I/O speed. On a notebook, I think the speed improvement is marginal. In my opinion, you have more to lose on functionality than the benefit of faster drive performance. Another thing to keep in mind when using RAID... If you change the BIOS setting and somehow mess up the boot/disk-type setting, and your computer will be un-bootable. You have to change back to the "original" RAID setting or it will look like your drive went belly up. No need to panic, you just need time to figure out the correct setting that you did months or even years ago (personal experience). What's confusing about RAID settings, is that most mother boards(desktop) come with multiple RAID controller, so if you forget which one you used, you have to do some re-learning. DO NOT PRESS "RESET BIOS SETTINGS".
  12. Let me save you some grief... when you join a map just click "auto" join. Problem solved!
  13. The ever-observant Shaftiel... I didn't even notice until you mentioned it!
  14. That is so 90's. Have that cat do that in a new iMac.
  15. I was going to say this, but you beat me to it. Bad cujo, bad cujo! I usually partition my boot drive for just the OS plus a bit more for programs that work better in the same partition. So, 100gb should be more than plenty. If your OS has to be reinstalled, you don't have to mess with the data in the "larger" partition.
  16. Just fly... It's much faster. I wish your grandparents the best. Elder parent/children relationship, or talk of it, is almost non existent now a day. Our parents have spent great part of their lives rearing us and It's only right to take care of them when old. It's great that they have a good son like your uncle. I'll pray for them. Ride safe brother.
  17. Man... Why shut it down!!? I was going to buy one.
  18. Happy birthday... They are making them younger and younger everyday. Have a happy life.
  19. I'm not happy. Shaftiel What will I have to do to make you happy? Why would you put yourself in that position. Don't you have any respect for yourself Berm? I've lost all respect for you now. Sinking so low as to make Shaftiel happy.
  20. I ordered 200 xbox from them about a month ago. I have the units in hand and ready to ship. Just send $20 for shipping and handling and it's yours! I only accept cash as payment. PM me for the mailing address(PO Box).
  21. Coffe Bean is my cup of tea... Uh... cup of coffee.
  22. funny. I think we took it for granted that it was free.
  23. How old is the ipod? Maybe it need a new battery. I have 2 ipods and the oldest one is 4 years old and the battery will last about 3 hours.. If I don't use it for months, it will not take a charge with the computer usb port. I have to charge with an external power (the one that used to come with ipods) to "jump start" it. After that, it works normally until it's so drained that I have to do the same thing. I could change the battery, but why bother. I have it plugged in to my garage ihome player and it's ok for that.
  24. Cube Runner is no longer available at the app store... I played for a while and deleted. Can't find it now.
