    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Every girl is different, and especially after the first baby things don't quite work the same as they used to down there. It is very common for girls to not get as wet as they used to post baby.

    Seattle might (most likely actually) clinch the #5 seed and a trip to play the NFC Least champ in week 16 and sit most of their starters for a quasi-bye for the Arizona game.

    That really sucks. I just got to say, the back pocket seems like a really really bad place to keep a phone and the people who do put their phones back there confuse me.

    Big Ben is averaging 27.3ppg if you take out the StL game where he got hurt. That would be good enough to be the #1 overall ranked QB this year. I'm going to say you go with "you don't sit your studs" here and say you should play Ben.

    Yes, once they can roll over on their own you don't need to worry about which way they sleep. That isn't to say the risk of SIDS is gone, but the correlation to sleeping position diminishes (as well as the overall risk). Far more kids died from suffocating on the various apparatuses designed to...

    For most food borne illnesses we are worried about, 126F is where they stop reproducing so generally you want to go at least that high. For beef there is another reason to go a little higher, 131F that is the lowest temperature in which collagen denatures into gelatin.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    This is all very true. One of the biggest challenges I've had with my bonus program is that the employees start treating it like an entitlement. Rather than being motivated to perform better and examining their what went wrong when fall short of the set goals, they just become resentful when...

    Belichick probably coaches that up. It's not that Brady is a whiny baby, it's that they have realized by berating the refs like that they will eventually get more calls. This is an organization that has proven they will do anything* to win afterall.

    Firestone was going to be my "widely available IPA" recommendation. While technically a double (checks in at 8% ABV I believe), Green Flash West Coast IPA is excellent as well. Also these guys tend to get passed over but anything by Sierra Nevada is solid and right now you should be able to...

    That is all fine and I hear you. There are definitely times where I've had to step in and manage one of my stores, but those are always very temporary.

    Yup, if you cannot effectively delegate your ability to either expand your current business into new markets or expand into new industries is going to be capped at the amount of hours you are able to work.

    Just remember man, you can either work in your business or on it. The latter is generally more profitable. Don't forget to value your own time as well. Time off is just as valuable to me as my salary. Work hard to play hard.

    Yeah, breweries are trying to find new ways to sell more IPA, especially since the "next new style" hasn't materialized. They tried to push session beers hard a few years ago, then saisons, now an uptick in sours, but the big money maker is still IPA (last data I saw had IPA sales are up 47%...

    I just keep it in a bucket out in the cold garage. Dump all the ice out of the icemaker into the bucket, stays plenty cold for 2 days usually. If not, add more ice the next day. Helps that I live in a colder climate obviously. If it was unseasonably warm I suppose I could make room in the...

    This week I played Carr over Palmer, I played against a guy who I traded away J. Stewart to get Woodhead a couple of weeks ago, and I'm going to lose out on a playoff spot to the guy I traded Murray and McFadden to, to get Edelman and Forsett two weeks ago. So basically over the last two...

    Big problem with Amendola is that he is so boom-or-bust you basically can only get him in your lineup if you have no other options.
