went 2-2 at the pre release with a "C" red/white aggro deck. Not much bombs, but molten vortex did work when i flooded. angel's tomb overperformed, and tragic arrogance was not impressive. Never drew the blessed spirits in 11 games, was a bummer. I almost went 3-1, but died to turn 2 jace...

Chinese Mackerels are back this summer in Hong Kong. Went out saturday and they were feeding aggressively. One actually took a prawn on a paternoster rig reeling in off the bottom. just saw a flash of silver, an explosion on the water right beside the boat, and then the reel went a'screamin...

cigars give a good buzz, and many people who smoke them find they like the taste. I find the high quality cigars can also enhance a dining experience. eating a good steak with wine, then have a cigar after can be awesome.

Its not difficult to find a reputable distributor of cuban cigars if you look for it. In my neck of the woods I use the pacific cigar company (The hobby company started by Sir David Tang). Provenance of all product is verified and distributed exclusively through Switzerland. I think Macanudo...

gents, why are you still smoking that crap? arturo fuente is horrible, even for dominican cigars. At least smoke something like macanudo if you arent smoking cuban. But is there really any reason (price withstanding) not to be smoking cuban cigars now?

The local pub got a shipment of Palm 75CL. I recommend if you enjoy light, not too hoppy ales.

went offshore into south china sea this weekend, caught kawa kawa, rainbow runner, barracuda, and dorado.

I fish tropical waters out of Hong Kong. Landed a decent sized Floral Croaker and Painted Sweetlip (shown scaled and about to be filleted) last weekend. Pan fried the sweetlip with salt, pepper, rosemary, lemon, served with bearnaise sauce.

Tocino is pretty awesome; but you would be surprised how different it tastes depending on the region. Sometimes its crunchy and sweet, other times its soft and tangy. Its similar to Longanisa (a type of sausage) in that regard . Regional differences and preferences impact what ingredients go...

go pre!

I have owned a Hitachi Solfege 3 door fridge for the last 8 years and have nothing but good things to say about it. Its extremely energy efficient, well built, the ice maker works flawlessly, the temperature is uniform and unwavering.

Here are a few specific recommendations for eating: hawker centres: Lau pa sat festival market - in town near the fullerton, semi air conditioned and easily the nicest of the centres, but was under renovation last time i went. newton hawker centre - must eat oyster omelet, carrot cake...

My go to table wine recently is matua Pinot noir 2013. It's a totally drinkable wine for 10 bucks. Value is really high on this one

I have one of these, its mostly collecting dust. I find it too inconvenient to use. I end up always just using the nespresso machine.

Just picked up a Helle Eggen outdoors knife. Lovely little blade and comes RAZOR sharp out of the package. Eggen is one of our most used all-round outdoor knifes.

Meanwhile in France.... These French villagers want to keep living in a place called - The Washington Post This part is golden: Marie-Elizabeth Secretand, the deputy mayor of Courtemaux, which has jurisdiction over the hamlet, does not understand why the name "Death to Jews" has caused a...

I concede the point to the man with the sack of wine.

a bottle will float if there is enough air inside.

You've lost all credibility. A bottle of wine will float just as well as a plastic bladder!

I'm no expert, but have been drinking wine for a while, for business and pleasure. Here is my advice: Finding out "what wine you like" is an expensive and subjective process. Not only do you need to taste test a lot of grapes, regions, and winemakers, but your tastes will mature and change...

While the curriculum in the school is totally unacceptable and the unwra spokesman freakout is ridiculous, to be fair the fucked up teaching methods have nothing to do with shelling schools. Only the second part of the video that establishes that unwra facilities are essentially being used not...

The best advice I can give is to find a friend (male or female) who knows how to dress well and ask them to take you shopping. Get an idea for a budget you want to spend in total for the day, and they can usually plan out how many shirts/pants whatever you need.

This. I live in the sub tropics so no snow where I live, but lots of rain. I check the weather in the morning and choose outfit that can take a bit of rain. So tropical wools, linen if its light showers,(blazer or cotton if its not raining) and I leave the expensive shoes or wear rubber soles...

????? - ??? ??????? nrg - ...???? ????: ???? ?????? ????? This is absolutely insane. I can't find any english translation of it, but it basically details a terror plot to use the tunnels to send hundreds of fighters to do a mass attack/murder/kidnapping on Rosh Hashanah. Can anyone...

Report: Hamas Used Child Labor to Build Terror Tunnels; Hundreds Killed At least 160 forced child laborers died in the creation of the terror tunnels. Apparently they were preferred since their smaller frames could fit into the spaces easier.

There was never a palestine to begin with. The name itself was given by the romans to identify the area, arabs and jews included. Palestinian national identity didnt really form until the PLO in 1964 as a response to zionism.

After 1967 when israel controlled jerusalem they returned control of the temple mount back to the waqf (who had managed it since the last crusade) as a gesture of peace and religious freedom. Most jews won't step foot on the temple mount anyway, since the exact location of the holy of holies is...

One caveat, I wouldn't expect your nunn bush shoes to hold up very well regardless of what you do to preserve them. A sub 100 USD shoe just isn't going to have the durability or properties to maintain shape/look over time. I would say max lifetime of a shoe like that is a couple years at most...

Dont wear the same pair to the office two days in a row. I do two days off for every day worn, so you will need 3-4 pairs to get through a week. Put them in shoe trees every day, I use proper cedar ones. Polish the shoes every 8 times you wear them, or if a month passes, whichever happens...

Why not just take the tux jacket off for the reception. A tux without the jacket isnt that much more formal, and people should understand you flew in. Besides no harm being a tad better dressed.

I only do this with a blazer, I wouldn't match my suit coats with anything other than the matching pair.

Some higher end hotels offer currency exchange at very competitive rates as services to the guests, so you could check with them if you are staying at one. Some banks also offer competitive exchange services, but it may depend on your relationship. HSBC premier global account, and stanchart...

For newlyweds, a 10k ring isn't going to be obnoxious. A high quality 1ct brilliant can cost 6-8k, and 2ct of the same quality is going to be conservatively 15-20k. I am talking towards the upper end near flawless. Neither of these are going to appear very big. 10k will sit around 1.5c...

Speedy Pros are awesome. +1. Tag Heuer are fine to look at, but its a piece of shit inside. The watch snob in me objects to paying 3k USD for a watch that contains a crappy 250 USD ETA 7750 movement.

Banyan Tree phuket is overpriced. It was probably lovely 15-20 years ago, but last time I stayed it was showing its age pretty badly. Unless they did a renovation recently I wouldn't recommend. Perhaps the Samui location is nicer, but if you are interested in this one try to find out the last...

I stayed at Za ZenZazen Samui Resort samui Boutique Hotel at Zazen Boutique Resort and SpaWhat you expect for the price, staff, food, spa, all good stuff. Stayed in the beachfront deluxe bungalow. Its a private resort with private beach, so no people to annoy you or crowd you. Its a bit far...

Just tried Gordon Ramsey's roast pork belly with fennel. Awesome result, highly recommend. Also tried to replicate Morton's iceberg wedge salad, which turned out just fine.
