So your post got me thinking so I started mathing it out. So our 7 month old baby also pretty much sleeps 12 hours (6:30pm to 6:30am) plus naps 2 hours a day which means she is awake and requires at least one of us to be supervising her 70 hours a week. 40 of those hours are spent with me at...

Actually I would say the opposite, if a player truly is clutch you really shouldn't notice he's clutch, you should just think he is consistent. These guys basically don't exist. Over the course of a career just about every single player will closely match their total career averages in these...

"Clutch" hitting is a controversial subject and there is some pretty good evidence out there that it might not exist (or if it does, it doesn't matter as much as we think it does).Here is a pretty good write upon the issues which includes links to some of the research that has been done on the...

Not really, but my wife does expect us to eat the same thing for dinner if we are at home, and different things for dinner if we are eating out.

Out of curiosity how often do you guys re-watch a movie? Outside of a few exceptions I hardly ever re-watch a movie. On Interstellar, you can put me in the "mildly amused" category. I didn't hate it and I was glad to see and actual Sci-Fi flick that wasn't just an action flick with a...

San Francisco Giants to extend contracts for Brian Sabean, Bruce Bochy Glad to see Bochy getting rewarded. I've had issues with Sabean but can't argue the results. Kind of surprised to see him handing over the GM roll though, maybe a quasi retirement for him?

I'm starting to slowly work my way through this list. Will skip a few that I've either seen or just have zero interest in. Started at the top with Your Sister's Sister. Wasn't bad, agree with the article writer about the acting, but it really felt like there was only like 2/3rds of a movie...

The label 'craft' is basically for promotional and political purposes at this point.

Yeah, you won't be getting any downtime once the baby comes either. I know most guys want to take advantage of these last "baby free" days but the reality is that time was over as soon as you saw the + on the stick.

Another great episode. Looks like I was in the ballpark of how things were going down. One observation I made completely unrelated to the show is I wonder what the experience would be like for someone who hasn't ever watched BB to watch BCS first then start BB? Assuming you can avoid spoilers...

I know what they all have to say and did read the link (it was a good link btw). But even so I still feel the same way.

On the card swipes, 2.4% for a flat rate isn't too terrible but I think you are correct in thinking you could do better with an interchange-plus program instead. Thing that I hate about dealing with merchant processors is that it is nearly impossible to decipher what your actual charges will be...

Our presence is being broadcast to the universe whether we want it out there or not, we might as well take the shot at controlling the conversation.

That was a pretty interesting read. I generally like Jim Koch but he can be a control freak sometimes. Stomping back into the walk-in of a random bar to check exp. dates on kegs? A little over the top. Also the same guy who packs his own glass into bars because he thinks his design is superior...

I throw mine in the oven cold and let it cook during the pre-heating. Generally it is about 20 minutes from oven-on to crispy-bacon and completely hands off. Use the time in between to prepare or cook whatever I'm covering in delicious bacon (salad, other breakfast foods, etc).

Unfortunately most of the ones I'm familiar with are geared towards restaurants, not retail. So I don't have any specific recommendations off hand but I'll ask around to some people I know in retail. I know my favorite homebrew shop just started moving to a computerized POS system and I would...

I love the pepper-bacon, but my wife loves the various smoked stuff. She does most of the shopping and holds veto powers over me. I'm addicted to Kalamata olives from Costco so I have a ton of the jars they come in laying around and is my general grease storage container.

Most of the time it isn't plain. But you do bring up a good point, and with baked-bacon you can also easily save the grease with no dishes as well!

Yeah, the self clean feature on the oven takes care of it, and honestly I haven't noticed much more grease splatter with bacon than I get when roasting other meats. The bacon doesn't splatter the same as when you pan-fry it. Speaking of grease my favorite part about baked-bacon is that if you...

Who the hell frys bacon at all?Baked baconhas changed my life! (Probably for the worse considering how much I eat bacon now due to this method now...)

Aside from what you mentioned above, I also have an issue with ending up getting motion sickness from sleeping in a hammock. I don't think I have hardcore motion sickness issues either, generally with moving things (boats, roller coasters, hammocks, car rides, etc.) I am fine as long as I can...

When I say Chuck is a "scumbag" lawyer I don't mean in the same sense that Saul is/will become. I meant more along the lines of the "all lawyers are scumbags" type of thing. Jimmy will learn the hard way that Chuck really only cares about himself/his-firm/getting-his-money/his-ego or a...

I don't get the feeling that Jimmy HAS a conscience more-so that he is TRYING to have a conscience. Again I'd tie it back to him looking up to his brother. We've seen plenty of Slippin' Jimmy even during this shows present day.

Just watched the last episode. My prediction (I don't watch the next weeks preview): I got the impression when Jimmy passed the bar exam Chuck really didn't want Jimmy working at his firm and sent Hamlin in to do his dirty work. Jimmy doesn't realize it really was his bro and blames Hamlin which...

There is no way in hell VS models eat any bacon.

SEE! There's another knock against VS models...

Oh, I'd stick my pp in their vaginer... I'd just spend a month plumping them up while they are locked in my basement first.

I actually DO think the VS models have too sharp of knees, and pretty much too sharp of every other feature on their body. Those bitches need to eat some sandwiches... extra mayo.

I am not very happy at all that they aren't going to be expanding replays (beyond some clock stuff). They say it is because they only want objectively reviewable plays to be allowed, not calls that are up to the subjectivity of the ref. How many times have we seen a flag thrown for a...

Looks like Schell's is in the 100-200k range in bbl production (~125k in '13). In 2013 they would have only accounted for 8/10ths of a % of craft beer sales and their addition to the BA numbers are easily offset by the ousting of Elysian and 10 bbl (not to mention GI which eclipses them all). I...

My wife insists on makeup if she leaves the house. She is pretty light-handed with it to the point where I can't tell the difference, but she has a complex. Someone will need to go to the store for milk but nnnoooooo.... it can't be HER because she doesn't have any makeup on. Wait... maybe I'm...

The only thing I know that they changed is expanding the production limit (from 2mil bbls up to 6mil bbls) to keep Sam Adams in the fold. When you are trying to keep up with the lobbying dollars of the likes of InBev you can't cast out your cash cow. Unless you know something I don't...

I also don't mind a Sam Adams if anything because of how they act as a company. They may be huge but they have been great allies for craft brewing. During some of the hop shortages they were selling surpluses they had at cost to breweries, they offer up loans to small breweries that might not...

It is a good day to be an Oakland Raiders fan.NFL to suspend TV blackout policy for 2015 after owners vote - ESPN

Some interesting beer-related news. First is that the BA just released the 2014 craft beer sales numbers and craft beer now has double-digit market share (11%). Even a few short years ago people were questioning whether hitting double digits was even possible. The growth of craft beer continues...

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of time that lapses between when my wife says "I'm ready to go" to when she actually steps foot out the door.

I use aFOScamas my baby monitor. Pretty much does everything a Dropcam can do for a fraction of the price. Does take a little bit of computer know-how to get everything set up and working.

Yeah, the Rivers to Tenn thing makes no sense to me. It all started with Rivers saying that he doesn't want to uproot his family from San Diego for a potential move to LA. So Tenn is going to give away 4-5 years of a cost controlled top-5 pick to get a guy with one year left on his deal and that...

Even though he coached all year, they were running Harbaugh out of town at the beginning of last season basically. 8-8 was a symptom of that debacle.

Yeah, I don't tell him to cut his horns because I don't like his horns. I do so because I think they are holding him back from getting some of the things he has proclaimed to want in this thread. Similar thing with his child-support, I'm not trying to harp on the guy for the sake of giving him a...
