Any body else just want to hear everything about Adam Vinz, our backup goalie tonight? He's my favorite part of this story so far.

How often does that happen? I'm honestly asking. Do guys really get resigned by teams that traded them at the deadline, like, ever?

I sold Ruff Microsoft Office for Mac one time when I was working at Office Max. It was pretty cool.

Our powerplay is schiesse

Bottled, and I used sugar because that's what the kit came with. I'm not sure what's happening w/ the next one. I'd give it a "If I bought it I wouldn't be disappointed but I probably wouldn't run out and buy more right away"

First homebrew! Its not perfect, but its beer.

That thing is awesome, haha.

I haven't actually DONE anything yet, its still in the mail. The kit came standard with 2124 wyeast which is more of a generic lager yeast. Instead I'm going with a more Bock specific yeast (http://www.whitelabs...ock-lager-yeast) which I'm hoping will make it a little less malty as this will be a spring bock instead of a mid or late winter bock. As for the hops, I don't actually know what I'm doing with it exactly, but I have some ideas from other recipes I'm finding online. I have to wait and see what I actually get w/ the kit, as it doesn't seem to list it on the website, so I guess I should have said I MAY be adding OR changing the hops. The kit is an extract, as I'm going to slowly acquire equipment before moving on into all grain. I bought a hydrometer this time, next up is a carboy probably (or maybe a Better Bottle as I'm cheap). Don't worry, I'm not interested in making this an IPA or an IPL and just calling it a bock, I'm just want to get started experimenting a little. I'm doing my homework on this stuff though, haha. EDIT: words.

I figure if I can't get it consistently cool enough I can throw together a swamp cooler, though I doubt it'll be a problem this winter, haha.

Bought my second kit, a maibock. I may be in a bit over my head because I have to lager it, but we'll see. If I do it right it'll be done right at the beginning of May which would be perfect. Also went a little off the kit recipe, changed the yeast and I'll be adding a little extra hops. Here goes nothing.

The auto-shop analogy works really well, I think. I know enough about cars to know when somethings wrong, and just about enough to tell when I'm having the wool pulled over my eyes. I want a mechanic who knows what I need and is smart so my car doesn't die again in a week, but isn't trying to sell me on crap I don't need.

Mine tasted kinda sour and stuff when I tried it, but you can't really tell til its done, apparently. Some types taste better than than others preconditioned, supposedly.

From what I've been reading cloudyness is pretty normal pre-conditioning, it should settle out.

Thats Risto, Zadarov, Psyck and McNabb for those like me saw those numbers and thought Hecht, Afinagenov, Leopold, and Sekara

Alot of good stuff in here so far, this is my favorite advice so far. Couple more things from a new homeowner: Use a realtor that knows the area you want to buy in well. We bought a house in the city, and the woman we used had lived in that area for years and years, and therefore knew what to look for in the type of house we were looking at, especially pitfalls and problems (even more important for us since we bought an older home). Once you have an offer accepted, THAT'S when the work begins. Getting all the paperwork in can be a nightmare depending on the mortgage person who's putting it all through for you. Every time we thought we were done they asked for more. Be prepared to push them both on your own and through the realtor in order to get the thing closed on time. Its not a gauruntee, but if you don't close by the closing date the seller can pull out or you might have to start almost all over again with the process. BUT, its all very worth it. The day you close bring a couple beers and some camp chairs with you, take them to the new place, and sit down and enjoy your house for a little while. Its a great feeling.

Don't worry, guys, this team is tanking with or without Mr. Murray's wish or consent at the moment.

Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds in February, then Reverend Peyton in March. Coupla stompin' blues bands to end out the winter.

Harbor Center Brochure, with some pixxx: http://harborcenter.com/brochure.pdf

New Bar/Restaurant will be called "(716)" [including parentheses, but not quotes]. Seating for 360, and TV's embedded in the mirrors in the Bathroom, not to mention the 35'er in the bar area.

This. A year to get into the job, a year as a lame duck, 4 years to actually govern, and no running for reelection when they should be running a ###### country.

Cool.

They used to do that and it was great. Brian Moorman was in the obstacle course competition and didn't look out of place w/ all the WRs and RBs.

\ If theres a DVD with it I'd watch it, helped me alot.

Ex-Lions HC and Titans DC Jim Schwartz hired for Bills job. Don't get much more high profile than that.
