No, he is getting into the pizza business. And as someone in the pizza business I can tell you, terrible idea. Good thing he has made his fortune already.

Rams are good and are going to be my dark-horse pick for the NFC West next year. And that is coming from a 49ers fan who is afraid of the Seahawks more than any other team in the playoffs right now.

You can spin it however you like. It's not worth arguing the semantics of the definition of a "shoot-out" and regardless it doesn't refute my point that the 49ers can easily "destroy" the Broncos in a potential Superbowl match-up and you can point to that Patriots game as evidence.

If the 49ers could win a shoot-out against Brady in his house, in December, they can keep pace with the Broncos. If the Seahawks can put up 40+ three weeks in a row, including against the best defense in the league, they can keep pace with the Broncos. Superbowl champ will come out of the...

Seems like since we moved over to RR Cathan has been trying to reinvent himself as the Internet Badass of the NFL thread.

You could try getting a test phone number set up specifically for your ad so you can track your calls that way. We did that a couple of years ago when we were trying to decide whether Yellow Pages were worth it or not. Either just pony up for an additional phone line or maybe something like...

Boundary Bayout of Bellingham is usually my go-to WA beer. They have been slowly heading south down the I-5 corridor and can be found pretty commonly in Seattle now. There is also a new place out of Bellingham called Kulshan Brewing, but you won't find them outside of Bellingham right now and...

Russian River Brewing Company Withdraws from Washington Market No more Pliney for meAlthough trying to find it had become more and more difficult and expensive due to price gouging on it, I'm still going to miss it. Glad that we have many amazing local options that are more than capable of...

I would. In a "mass shooting situation" there are far less causalities the sooner the gunman is met with armed resistance (including possible friendly fire). So if you and your loved ones are trapped in a theater the odds of you and your loved ones getting shot go down the sooner someone...

Now that you have your Google Places confirmed, I recommend you also do some Adwords. I started using adwords to promote online ordering (average customer who orders online spends $5 more than the customer instore or on the phone). After a 12 week test run I concluded that my ad was generating...

Loyalty is more about getting your current customers to spend more money than they would have otherwise. Yes, if you provide a good service and product they will be back, but once you get them back you want to maximize returns by trying to drive up incremental sales on that customer. Money...

On pricing, I have gone to whole number pricing. Since I serve a higher quality pizza, I think that pricing model lines up with what you outlined above, it adds a perceived quality to the product. But more importantly it just makes my employees lives a lot easier. When asked how much does that...

We have very little market penetration in my area so there isn't a lot of money to do TV advertising. We have stopped on tv and have focused on print, online search and local store marketing initiatives. Basically because we cannot bombard our customers with TV adds, our message gets drowned...

I think he is implying the Niners are built better to handle the cold because they rely on defense and running the ball, which is apparently the recipe for success in the cold. I'm guessing Tom Brady probably disagrees with that assessment.

The source is from that "Opinion on Gun Control" essay that has been posted several times now. The author list his credentials in detail to start off the piece but doesn't specifically cite the source of those numbers, but does seem to show he is well studied in these matters. However in the...

I believe a "mass shooting event" is quantified as such when it appears the perpetrator has the intent of shooting as many people as possible and the targets are mostly random. I do not have a text-book definition for you though.

Yes, an off duty police officer is going to be better equipped than a random person. However, a random person with a gun still has a chance at limiting collateral damage.

That "An Opinion on Gun Control" essay that Blakkheim posted had a great break-down of showing how CCW results in a huge net positive on crime prevention even based on statistics available. Even despite the fact that most of the time unless the weapon is fired, the use of the gun isn't recorded...

I tried to defend Akers earlier in the year, but I am now done. And I hope he is done as well. Also, Crabtree looking like the ghost of Jerry Rice. And lets face it, the ghost of Jerry Rice is still the best receiver in the division.

Saints may not have a bounty program anymore, but their defense still plays dirty as fuck. No reason to even touch Newton at that point of the play, instead he rolls up on his leg. Classy.

Anyone know of a good free drive cloning program? I got a nice big new SSD and would rather just clone my current drive onto it rather than doing a fresh install.

I've used Hartland, Mercury Payment Systems and now Peoples Bank for credit card processing. While they all have their issues, I got good rates though each of them. I get better than 2.75 when all is said and done (processor statements can be a nightmare to figure out and you can never...

I knowCash Callusually has great deals on no-cost refi's. Their payday loan side gets lots of complaints (take into account who their clientele might be) but their home-loans side is suppose to be a solid operation.

If you are in it for the long haul, then worrying about what will amount to a temporary anomaly in your investment performance isn't worth trying to time the market. If the market does crash, just use the opportunity to get some more money in there.

My family has a cabin down near Stateline. In the winter I ski-ski-ski and and the summer I am either chilling at the lake or mountain biking. Maybe throw in a little gambling and that is usually the sum total of my excitement for a trip down to the area. Probably not terribly helpful for...

With all these line-men being 6'6"+ and wearing helmets, all but the absolute tallest QB's cannot see over their linemen's heads anyways. QB height doesn't have anything to do with downfield vision and has more to do with the trajectory a shorter QB has to release the ball at to get it over the...

How many passes have Wilson and Brees had knocked down, and how does that compare with the rest of the league?

Hind-sight is 20/20 my friend. I may have posted in angst since playing him pretty much cost me a spot in the finals, but your advice was sound going into last weekend. Nature of the beast. Lord knows I've dished out my share of what turned out to be terrible advice over the course of the season.

Yup, San Fran is theonlyplacethishappens.

I could get excited about Witten having a chance to break the all time TE receptions record, but I am more concerned with the possibility that Welker could break the all time receptions record for a slot receiver.

I never said it was a fool-proof strategy. Personally, I try to draft guys who are consistent scorers rather than home run hitters (so I try to get the guy who scores 20 points every week rather than the guy who might bust out for 30 but also might only get 10). So if I did my homework and...

When it comes to over-thinking in the playoffs, I always stick with the theory that you stick with the guys who got you there. No sense in trying to get cute at this point.

The only thing I might change would be Myers for Pitta (Pretty sure Gronk is targeting a week 17 return). But I also understand why you wouldn't want to do that. I would keep Eli in there. NY always seems to blow up after getting blown out. Only QB I like out of the ones you listed is...

Rouges operation isn't much different than many of those breweries that you listed. Maybe you just don't get a lot of the smaller Rouge batches in your area but they have a lot of, as you put it, "cool" stuff. And it's not like they are using adjuncts or anything in their beers, just malts...

Yeah, basically because the players in no way shape or form want to give the owners any more abilities or powers to lock them into short term deals. Even two years is not enough and if a team really wanted to lock up a player longer at that price (top 5% + yearly raises) they very easily could...

Google Adwords can probably be used effectively for online purposes. I have also used contests with Facebook gating (require people to like your page before they can enter) to build my number of likes. Can PM you details if you are interested. I may be able to help you out with some...

My "James Bond" device feels very good and decidedly different than any other sexual experience that I have had. If you are like me and like a variety of sensations (e.g. every time you "get freaky" you don't necessarily want vagina, mixing in a BJ or an old fashion would be preferable to you)...

Just keep it in a box with a wide verity of sex toys, including many for the females you may bring over. Then it just looks like you have an obsession with sex, not an obsession with masturbating.

You don't think they option Smoak leaving Montero and Morales to split AB's between 1B/DH? That is what I would do... Also going with your "developmental" year, this really does open up a rotation spot for one (or more) of the big 3.
