    Another article about the shutdown affecting the beer industry.Tears for beers. (Blame the shutdown.) Eatocracy - CNN.com Blogs They quote Stone in this article. I was really liking their "Enjoy By" series of beers, but sounds like that line could be delayed due to the shutdown issues.

    MLB 2013 season

    I agree, I don't go to baseball games that often, but every time I have been to one where Boston is playing I've had a confrontation with a Boston fan, and not ones that I instigated. One angry Boston fan called security on me because I kept standing up and cheering whenever Yuniesky...

    No, I started AP (obviously) and Morris. Morris had 15.1 Jackson only had 8.8 in my league.

    /sigh Between Morris, Jackson, Lacy AND AP, Lacy ended up being the top scorer of them all. Sometimes Fantasy Football is a cruel mistress.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I agree, it is a terrible double standard that guys are given high-fives for sleeping around while women are condemned for it, and it is dumb for men to perpetuate that double-standard because all it does is make it more difficult for themselves to get laid. Sexually liberate women are awesome.

    The Beer Thread

    I look forward to each season for the beer releases, but I think winter has the most interesting things to try. Lots of insane malt profiles and many beers experimenting with different adjuncts. My day-in-day-out preferable beer style is IPA so I get my fill of different and crazy hop...

    You have that backwards. Wait what are you talking about... Anyways, the delay is most definetly going to be affecting the spring seasonals as well. If is a beer that has already had an approved label, then yes. But if a brewery had anything new coming down the pipe they can't release it...

    You don't NEED to put a Kernel on it, but I would recommend the Franco Kernel. I can't remember but it may come packaged with some of the custom ROMs. As far as for which ROM, depends on how close to, or far away from the stock Android experience you want to go. I personally just run stock...

    Yeah, I agree, neither looks like a good matchup on paper. I know Morris did well last year vs DAL, but that is when RG3 was still a running threat. I think that helped open things up for Morris last year. I guess I should have mentioned I have a third option, but that is Lacy vs BAL. So...

    Fred Jackson (vs CIN) or Alfred Morris (vs DAL) for RB2? I keep thinking Jackson's production is going to drop off the table when the C.J. Spiller show takes off, but hasn't happened yet. Jackson currently #6 ranked RB in PPR...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    As far as sales being down, I know when we open a new pizza store or reopen a remodeled location we generally will get a big boost of sales for around the first 6 months (+ or - a few) just based on the newness factor. Generally it is about 25% above what will equal out to the "normal" levels...

    You are exactly right. I routinely call other pizza places around town and do just that. It is a little different for me because I am much more of a quality place and will never compete with the likes of Domino's or Pizza Hut with their $10 pizzas, but it is good to keep tabs on what your...

    Corndog, you are right in his current situation. But marketplaces can change in a hurry. If a competent competitor moves into town, or one of his current competitors finds some different (better) management, it could put significant pressure on his prices. In that case, being able to absorb...

    Government shutdown has closed the TTB, which approves all new brewery licenses as well as new labels/recipes. Basically craft breweries can't do any of their seasonals from here on out until the TTB opens back up and starts approving the labels again. Going to be a huge backlog for them to...

    Technically head is still beer, so as long as they used a true 16oz pint and filled it to the top w/ head they will be fine. This is more of a response to the fact that the majority of "pint" glasses you find are actually 14.5oz glasses. Odds are most places will just call it a "pounder" or...

    If you go the prepaid route you don't need to do any sort of credit check whatsoever.

    They tried to pull that in WA as well. Not as extreme as the proposed Georgia law but they wanted to add a $25 fee to every bike sold. The argument is that they use roads and get bike lanes built so they should pay "their fair share." I think all the motorist crying about bicyclist not...
