Been making mead since 1995. I've always done dry, still meads, and aged them at least 18 months. Mesquite honey from New Mexico is one of my all-time favorites... has a great woody quality in the final product. I've also experimented with addition of grape tannin (small amounts only), which boosts ...

Re: Any guitar players?
I've been playing guitar for about 10 years now. I recently reintroduced myself to finger picking. The reason I lost my interest in it before was because I bite my nails and can't seem to keep my nails long enough or strong enough to use them to pick with. I do just as well using my actual fingers,...

Hi John (MrSmooth), I love your avatar. The webkit.org mention you refer to is exactly what I refer to as well, the rendering engine. Not the javascript engine. And as I'm sure you know, Google, when announcing the product, publicly thanked Apple. Also, you'll notice today that they share the same ...

WebKit is the name of the Mac OS X system framework version of the engine that's used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and other OS X applications. Edit: And Chrome is built on Safari, that's a fact; not sure what this is about. If you read Google's own info (page 12 is the ref) they only mention webkit...

To break the old style WEP encryption would take 5 minutes or less, it was replaced years ago with WPA, which was replaced with WPA2. WPA-PSK is WPA with the use of a pre-shared key, which is fine for home use. Configure the router to use WPA-PSK and then enter the same passcode (key) on all the co...

Re: Single malt scotch and brandy: How to drink?
Hey fellows, today I went to the adult beverage store and purchased a bottle of single malt scotch and some E&J brandy. I'm really not sure how to drink these. Ice? Cold, no ice? Room temperature? Room temp with ice? What's the proper course of action? The Speyburn would be best room temp with ...

Another vote for Fountain Pen Network, and I also like BoardGameGeek and CoffeeGeek, although I rarely post on the latter anymore. Occasionally, I also post on the Monachos.net Community forum.

I do see a lot of dark suits as well, but since it IS formal night, we like to dress up.? I've always found a a very nice tailored suit (no JC Penney Specials, you gotta spend hundreds) to look way nicer and classier than a tux. Tuxes, to me, are not nearly as dressy as a fine suit... to me, shipbo...
