    Vinegar is the way to go. I will see if I can find the recipe. My wife made some crock pot ribs a couple of months ago and it was largely a vinegar type 'bbq' sauce.

    Didn't understand the split on that one. Figured it was pretty clear 29-28 Lawler. I am more just glad Rory lost as I just do not like him.

    I picked up the max package, so I have everything. I figured if I get a single DVD I wouldn't feel bad if I stopped and if I stay with it I would end up getting it anyway and it saves a couple bucks. Workouts :: MAX Pack DVDs (6 DVDs, Poster and Program Guide) -

    I think it depends on the program. I am sure there are sessions that are more about stretching / flexibility. The DDP Yoga ones get my heart rate into the aerobic zone for a majority of the workout, so I think so? Some of them will spike my heart rate into anaerobic for 5 minutes or more at a...

    I purchased the whole shebang of DDP Yoga from the website. I like DDP so I figured I would give him my money. I completed the 13 week beginner Yoga program 2 weeks ago and I have started on the Intermediate. The beginner program is perfect for beginners (duh I guess). I started the...

    I really enjoyed Sunshine. Not sure if it is underrated or not. I feel like it was worth more than a 7.2. Sunshine (2007) - IMDb

    Restaraunt Review Thread

    I hit up a restaurant in Minnetonka MN last week, BLVD. Went with my wife and one of my buddies. Would go again. The price tag of the place is pretty spendy. It isn't a crazy expensive fancy restaurant but we are talking $40-$60 per person with an appetizer and drink. If you get...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Well now that is just confusing, partly because I am not down on Hex terminology fully yet. I can't see how this would possibly be a good change or rather, that it needed to be removed. Just let folks pass priority if they want. What is considered triggered? Come in to play, beginning of...

    In-laws, god bless them. They are so confusing and annoying when it comes to weight loss. I had an experience with my mother / sister / cousin in-law this weekend. They are super glad for the weight loss, but when I told them I still plan on losing another 40 lbs or so they just went "Oh...

    Ender's Game (2013)

    I read the book again after seeing the movie. The best thing I can say about the movie is I did enjoy seeing certain things like the battle room outside of my head and on the big screen. Overall it just went too quickly and it was too...happy? The book was rather dark and Ender was much...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    One thing I have found the AI to be super bad at is Quick vs Basic actions. Definitely plays whatever card taps all troops defense 3 or less on his turn, rather than after my prep phase.

    Thought my order was borked somehow as it was sitting in pending. I ended up calling Google and talking to a rep yesterday. They had to escalate which would take 24 - 48 hours. As it turns out, it must have been a technical glitch. Got an update later than night giving me full status and...

    To the filling enough point, that is just getting your mind right. When I started to lose weight on a higher fat diet I had to learn the difference between hungry, not hungry, full, etc. It took a while, but right now I am not hungry pretty much all the time even through I am not full...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Played a bit more over the weekend and my opinion is mostly the same. This game has potential and is amusing. The idea of socketing cards, the escalation mechanic, and other things that are unique to a digital CCG are pretty fun. One of current favorite cards is verdant (?) beast. It is a...

    I installed the alpha yesterday and started screwing around. Definitely an alpha, my inspire deck took a huge beating because Blessing the Fallen is broken (inspire from graveyard) and I over extended into whatever Wrath of God is called. I will be more interested when they add additional...

    I was running through multiple pumpkings at a time last night with a couple of set ups. I could never hit wave 15, not enough DPS I guess. I got to wave 13 / 14 pretty consistently before dawn. Anyway, for most of the bosses I use either full spectre, rainbow gun, bat scepter (from...

    Lasik Eye Surgery

    I got LASIK done around 10 years ago, it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I am not sure what the procedure is called, but they cut open my eye and nuked it with a laser. It is kind of frightening, but I went for it. For around 1 - 2 years I had better than 20 / 20...

    Was playing a bit last week and got my first solar eclipse. While I did get one broken hero sword, the true win of that was getting Death Sickle to drop. It is one of the most ridiculous weapons that I have had the pleasure of using. It is a glowing sickle that flies out slightly less range...

    Sensory deprivation

    I have checked in to a local shop that I thought was around $60 for an hour or so. I was going to give it a shot but I never got around to it. It is definitely something I want to try, more so after hearing another person say how great of an experience it is.

    I finally hit the half way point on my first weight loss goal Saturday. Came in at 235.6 for a grand total of 46.4 lbs. lost. Only need to lose 36 lbs and I will get to say I weigh under 200 lbs. I haven't been that small for around 5 - 6 years. While I still don't get much enjoyment out...

    Mediumcore definitely adds a bit of spice to this game. I started fresh on a medium world and started to screw around a bit. I got some really good starter drops out of chests (climbing gear, blizzard and cloud in a bottle, water walking boots, ice skates). I could pretty much just run around...

    I was able to take down golem yesterday, but it was kind of a buzz kill. My first map didn't have the altar in it so I made a second. Got to the temple, found the altar, spawned golem. He was bugged inside of the walls / ceiling because of the room shape, didn't move at all. I was just able...

    Yes, finding a bulb makes me want to scream. Thankfully it only took 2 attempts before I pulled to the surface and went that route. I did end up getting the 'paladin hammer' or whatever from dungeon. I have played with that a bit and it seems pretty decent. Basically a boomerang that hits...

    I like this part from the Staci update, this rings true for what got my weight loss started. Once you are started, it is easier to start adjusting a bit at a time and you are more prepared to handle it. "You know, I look back and I see so many mistakes that I made: starting out with the...
