Love Filatov. He reminds me of a more agile and versatile Zherdev. I'm confused how Leclaire got injured, he's barely been playing! I hope they get LaCosta some playtime if Mason doesn't do well.
Drink: Never really cared for them, though I do like Jack and Coke.
Beer: Carlsberg, Stella, Strongbow, Bass, Amstel
Shot: Whatever someone else buys me.
If you are speaking of the Air, than it is much different than most notebooks. Usually, size and lightness don't mean much to me, but the fact that it's so mobile yet feels more solid and higher quality than most notebooks is a purchase-point in its own.
I think the Macbook Air is phenomenal and wish I had one for school and travel. However, the usual college-trend/Mac-obsession crowd is annoying. I think Mac has a good product, if a bit pricey, but it's the elitist Mac-lover in some people that is lame. You can find peaks in both PC and Mac products.
+1 on the asteroid belt. The moon and mars are equally as important, though. Earth species need more then one celestial body to really expect long-term survival. All that frozen water under Mars' surface would make great rocket fuel.
A kennel is a false sense of security for the owner, methinks. I use it to train my dogs until they're mature enough to behave, then they're free to live abouts the house/yard. I have a 15 year old lab mix and a 3 year old AmStaff who live together, non-destructively and cooperatively. They have "their" toys that they play with and I take them for walks and play with them often. Some people put too much thought in to dog behavior when you can simply take from nature what their behavior is.
