  1. All were purchased in the box with a cuban tax stamp on them. All were purchased outside the united states. Odds are, all were Cuban in origin. The first box of Siglio IVs I purchased were in Spain. The box of Robustos I purchased came from a small tobaconist in the UK. I don't buy cigars from Canada. I typically buy them in Europe from good shops that have had ties to Cuba since way before the US ban. I prefer Cuban cigars because the top leaf wrapper has more oil than most and the smoke has a spice note that I enjoy. I have smoked all different types of cigars, I prefer to smoke these. I do like Romeo & Julietta, Don Julio, its just I feel as though the smoke from Cohibas is a bit more complex and I personally enjoy them more than any other wrapper. Calling me an Elitist or a Dumbass poser is the lowest form of keyboard warfare. you don't even know me. I guess having once been on a cruise to St Lucia means you are an expert so I defer to your expert opinion. Please continue to educate us with your cigar knowledge and your typing prowess.
  2. I have a fairly sophisticated heating/cooling setup at home and want to be able to use my 8500W generator to keep it running. The problem is my HVAC guy warns that clean power is a must. It is a 220V furnace, so I need to keep the juice going into the furnace clean. Has anyone had a similar problem/found a solution?
  3. Put a big (GO TEAM) sign on her chair and have her drive up and down the sidelines. Only cheer team in nebraska with a mobile pyramid, think about the possibilities.
  4. Avoid Oahu, SOOOOOO touristy. I like 2 step on BI but my kids are a bit small to make the entry/exit. I took them to the marina beach (locals secret). Saw a bunch of Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, lots of awesome corals, good lava tubes, schools of fish. The night dive with the Mantas is pretty amazing. I wear dive boots at the beach (I have low cut ones) so I don't chop my feet up. Plus you can hike the lava flows at the Marina so the boys were all stoked to be on the lava one minute and in 40' of clear water watching a school of Wrasses, the next.
  5. MacBook, go to the education store (not the regular apple.com) and get a discount for being a student (think school of hard knocks)
  6. media is to blame, go with media-less technologies. Dish/Directv/only streaming with Clear (I have a $14/mo Dish package and a Roku)
  7. Depends on what part of Kona you are in. Hilo is worse but most people stay away from Hilo anyway.
  8. I like to spend time in Hawaii whenever I can. I take my family there just about every year. I just got back from the Big Island and it was pretty great. Stayed at Hilton Waikoloa Village and played all over Kailua-Kona. I suggest some 4x4 access only beaches. Stay away from the touristy stuff and Kona is pretty awesome. If you are looking for a vacation, this place is very good.
  9. I only smoke cuban cohibas.

    Need A Plumber....

    Basically, when this happens, you should take it as a good time to replace the tank. Once you open the tank to replace that valve it will rust very quickly. I use that leak as the guage to just get a new tank. Also simple to replace.
  11. Have "emergency" post on CR don't bother to look in the yellow pages, or search the interwebs for a local HVAC place ? profit?
  12. I don't know about refrigerant specs but I do know you want to match your needs to your system. Otherwise it will cycle too often and break again.
  13. Really we are a micro zone of zone 5, 5b.
  14. Yes, the pump is dead. One thing to test is the pressure switch at the pressure tank but I am guessing the pump is dead if you are getting 220 at the well head. Time for a new pump, good luck. They aren't that hard to install, you basically pull the old one up (figure it is on the end of like 100' of pipe) and put the new one on.
  15. I am assuming this is your wireless equipment you are connecting to. Do you have enough IP addresses to hand out? I have mine to only allow 10 devices to connect. If yo know the IP address range you are supposed to be getting, you can manually add a known address from the high end of the range so you can test everything and troubleshoot the DHCP later. They do mane this stuff for dumb people, its called Apple. If you refuse to buy apple products because they are more expensive, you have to know what you are doing to make them work - -true story.
  16. When you are in range of wifi, use the wifi for data. That has made a world of difference with my phone. If you aren't in range, turn it off.
  17. That was his point. If you aren't making 100K in cbus in IT now....you should think about trying to.
  18. Director, Web Application Security
  19. The job is based at home, you wake up at home on monday morning and fly to a city, or two, back friday. Development work is from home, web based classes are from home. Based on the number of IT guys on this forum, and the fact that cars cost money, I would say - several. Based on the number of people on this forum with networking into various industries that might have a contact with the skills I seek, and need a job, I would say - even more. Seeing as how I was working in the IT industry when I was introduced to this forum in like 2001, I figure I have a good vector into a huge job candidate pool. Also, since there is a meat market section..... I guess I will stop there.
  20. Wow, no one wants a 100k+ a year job?

    AT&T folks

    Call customer service and ask "how much is my early termination fee?" they will tell you.
  22. I am giving some training in the Columbus area, its free. If you attend the Columbus class, you can then attend the advanced class in Vegas right before Black Hat. http://www.qualys.com/training
  23. I think they announce to laugh even louder at the morons that get caught.
  24. I would suggest asking the neighbor if he has a dog that looks like X, or point at the dog in question and ask if it is his. If he says yes, say it came after you and you are just concerned it might attack a child walking by. Don't make it about you, make it about concern for someone elses safety, that will put him off of challenging you. Tell him that you are going to let Animal Control know it happened just so there is a record of his dog running off, and to keep you from being liable for any damage it does since you know it gets loose. The second part will get him mad but, you got mad about his dog coming after you so no worries. Then call animal control. If the dog comes after you again, you get to kill it plain and simple. Its an animal, and it should be controlled by the owner. If my dog runs off I get it back, then again I chain mine up. I don't care if its a chihuahua, if it is on my property and is going to bite me, I shoot.
  25. Ok, so I am taking a promotion and we need to backfill my old job. You have to have atleast 2 years training technical material. You need to understand IT security basics (CISSP a plus but not required). This is a work from home position so it doesn't matter where you live but, you have to have high-speed internet so you can do virtual classes. 50 - 75% travel covering North America and Puerto Rico. if you know anyone that might be interested, have them send me a resume, jkent@qualys.com
