I have a plastic one that was about $8. Can't see why you'd want a breakable ceramic one. I like that you tilt it to make it work, too. I don't think I'd like actually forcing water up there with a squeeze bottle.
I don't have bad allergies, but I use it once in a while when I get the feeling there's stuff up there and just doesn't want to come out. Also after I've been somewhere dry and dusty. Makes you feel like you have a new nose.
Like cobaltnine, I play WoW at the very most 10 hours a week. However, I'm a little more concerned about the spyware issue than he is. I'd like to hear more computer folks' opinions on this.
By the way, I can't stand add-ons either, and custom interfaces and the like. I think they should all be banned. Just play the game as it is and have fun... only silly kids need to tweak out their gaming.
I'm hoping for the best here. I love New Orleans, even got engaged there.
I have friends in Miami who were hit pretty much full on by Katrina as a category 1 the other night. They weren't there for Andrew in '92, but they told me this was the worst that they had been through. I lived in Miami in '94 and the devastation was still apparent even two years afterward. Some people were still living in temporary housing down in Homestead, and dead trees were all over.

You're thinking of Henry Rush, from "Too Close for Comfort".
I had a crush on both of the Rush girls in that show, especially the dark haired one.
I'm so sick of hearing about how dangerous certain foods are (not as in unhealthy). I've eaten eggs benedict many many times. I've had it in fine dining restaurants where I worked and did know the chef, and I've had it in a bunch of other not-so-fine-dining places where I didn't know the chefs. In all these years, I somehow, miraculously didn't get sick. It's on the menus of many restaurants, pumping out thousands of orders a day. Where's the huge outbreak of poisonings?
In this regard, chicken is my pet peeve. Nowadays, people treat it like it is some deadly biohazard. Just be relatively clean when you cook, use common sense and it's no big deal. The "salmonella's gonna get ya" meme somehow came about around 10-15 years ago. What on earth did the ignorant souls throughout history do before all the disinfectant-antibacterial kitchen products?
Also, Tony Bourdain is an arrogant, self-promoting jerk. Why anyone reads/listens to him is beyond me.
(boy, I'm cranky today)
Good post. The slide show is interesting, but I have to wonder why the quality of the photos is so godawful bad. Even the 'after' photos of the damage, while interesting, are of horrible quality. Good cameras were available in 1975, right?
I'll join. I'm pretty new to WoW, ot a level 12 on another server. But I'd be willing to start over a new one if it meant I could get in a guild. I don't get to play very often, but it is fun so far.
My wife and I never celebrated V Day at all... she was opposed to the whole issue. Last year I surprised her with a V Day gift and night out, and something else afterwards. We'll be celebrating that way from now on.
I find in most cases, bread recipes call for too much kneading. I generally knead just until the dough becomes elastic and then STOP. I've seen recipes that call for ten minutes of kneading!
Also, when kneading, keep the dough very moist- almost wet and sticky, with dry flour on the outside just barely keeping it from sticking. This is the trickiest thing about bread making IMO, and not all that tricky actually.

Come on now. Those stormtroopers in the films wore all that armor and still one SINGLE shot from a blaster did them in. Why not go for a bare stomach?

Just thought I'd pop in to almost derail the thread by noting that I know the author of this article. In fact, he performed my wedding ceremony.
