Need I say more? This page is dedicated to that curious but so essential mix of hops, yeast and malt.First off, let us pay homage to the variety of beers that exist. The beers below have a link to their brewers page (if I can find it) and also a brief description of the beer. Enjoy, but better still get out there and sample them! Let me know if you think my opinion of the beer is a pile of pants! (This is effectively a Disclaimer! These opinions are mine alone, and I have no commercial interests in any of the products in these pages.) Then, I have a collection of carefully selected beer links from around the world. Check out the description by each to find what you are looking for. Some of the links may include those relating to brewing, but I suggest you visit my separate page dedicated purely to that activity!

Nikon D100 Digital Camera

First and foremost, the Nikon D100 is not an N80 with digital components crammed inside. Nikon did use some of the winning features of the N80 when they designed the Nikon D100, but other than a similar looking prism and built-in flash, the likeness of the two ends there! Many have wondered about the ruggedness of the Nikon D100. I have now shot with one for 3 weeks straight. Because of the time factor and wanting to get a review out to folks, I’ve been “rougher” on the D100 than normal which includes making my own rain storm to test the camera (there ain’t no real rain to be had in the west!). The Nikon D100 performed without a hitch in conditions from a high of 114 degree to a low of Zero (freezer), dry or wet.
