    I admit, the cake-smash photos are pretty damn cute, but outside of that exception, am I the only one who thinks the pictures of you kids covered in food should not be posted all over Facebook? I think the majority of them are disgusting, not cute and don't need to be shared.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It is well known amongst my friends that my wife must be fed in a timely fashion at regularly scheduled meal times OR ELSE! Pregnancy has only exacerbated that issue. Hard for me because from the time I decide "I'm hungry" to the time that I must be fed is like an 8 hour window. But it isn't...

    The Beer Thread

    There is a small(ish) brewery in the Seattle area called Two Beers that makes an excellent ISA. Best part about Two Beers is that if I drink all night but only stick to beers by them, when my wife asks me how much I've had I can tell her "I've only had Two Beers" and not be lying. I also like...

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure once you take those keys you get the house "as it." State regulations may offer some protection but it is probably more of a question for your agent. *I am not a lawyer either nor have I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express lately.

    Had some Stone Go-To IPA tonight. I can't quite pin down which hop has been plaguing IPA's this year with that garlic/onion powder aroma, but this beer has a ton of it. Also it is very thin and watery, even for a session beer.

    It is a very interesting read. A dynamic that is going to come up with my child(ren) between me and my wife. I'm more in line with the author in letting kids take risks and god forbid "letting" them getting hurt every once in a while. My wife on the other hand will probably be chasing our kid(s)...

    Ummmm... I don't think you need to pay to do that but I can't remember for sure. They have a pro and premium version, one is a one time $7.95 fee which is what I did, the other is a monthly subscription which I do not do. For basic stat tracking you can use the free version.

    I use endomondo and really like it. In addition to the normal stat keeping, it allows me to track my friends in real time. For example, my Mom is training for a road bike race right now and I am suppose to meet her for lunch. I can track her ride in real time on my computer so I know when to...

    I mean, unless by "successful Super Bowl run" means actually winning it... Seattle had a couple of key FA signing that really sured up their pass rush last year.

    There is a salary cap which includes a salary floor for every team. Are certain position groups getting hit hard with the influx of cheap labor? Sure. But that player wealth is just being redistributed elsewhere, it isn't just flowing into owners pockets instead.

    This and This. Saddle soreness will eventually be conditioned away. When I start the season I use the lycra-under-shorts trick. Usually after about a month of riding I'm just using gym shorts and it isn't an issue anymore.

    Overly soft water can also be bad for water heaters as they don't build up a protective scale that prevents corrosion. If you have a water softener it is recommend you turn it off for a few days once a year to allow the scale to build up. If you have naturally soft water to begin with, well you...

    Weber's are nice. I also like Jenn-Air. Check Costco, they usually have a decent selection of quality grills in your price range. As far as features, if stored outdoors an all stainless model is nice. I also have an infrared searer on my grill and I love using it. Also, for that price you...

    I wouldn't put it past a state to have some crazy rule like this, but generally speaking beer, wine and spirits are taxed on the production end, not the packaging end.

    Packaging is also more expensive for 750ml bottles. But yeah, there is no reason to buy a 22oz/750ml bottle of something that is also available in 6 packs as the per ounce price of the 6 pack will be drastically cheaper (at least that has been my experience here in WA). I only buy bombers of...

    Well, maybe. In my experience a slow leak is just a precursor to a gusher. Once they start to leak you only have a few days till catastrophe. Then again, the water in my area is notoriously hard on water heaters which may lead to their quick demise once leaking. If you want to wait for the...

    Yes, bugs = brett. Brett (or Brettanomyces) is typically a mix of brett yeast and bacteria cultures that provide "the funk." For that particular beer style, typically they use a saison yeast and ferment is warm to get a lot of those fruity esters and then either co-pitch some brett, or they add...

    Yes, in part anyways. Some of it also was the teams being sick of handing out giant rookie contracts, but that change had to be sold to the PA and it was done so under the theory that the cash would filter to veterans instead. Perfect example is look at what has happened to RB's. C.J. lost...
