This is your best option, although it will also drop your credit score as well. First because the card company will do a credit check on you which dings your score temporarily (although) it will recover pretty quickly and the second reason is because it will drop the average age of your credit. If you've had one credit card for 10 years then add a second one it will make your average age of credit equal to 5 years. On the other hand the ding to your credit could be offset by having a lower utilization of your total credit. Say you had a $2,500 balance on a card with a $5,000 limit (50%) then you transfer that balance to a new card with a $5,000 limit your utilization percentage drops to only 25% as long as you keep the other card active by just using it a few times a year for minor purchases and paying it off whenever you do.

The Aud Club Roseanne was great until they won the lottery. Once they were no longer blue collar people struggling to pay the bills it went to ######.

Are those the ones where you get to dip your hands in maple syrup first to help keep your grip or the ones where you stand on the back of a moose and they assist you in getting your chin over the bar? I can never keep it straight.

I definitely don't believe that white people are the only ones who are racist, but for the most part they are the ones who tend to have the money, power, authority, or whatever to discriminate based on any sort of racist feelings. So while there may be some old curmudgeonly black guy spouting off about honkeys, crackers, or other races he's typically not the guy running the police department and telling cops to focus on young black males and he's not the guy evicting people from neighborhoods or not allowing "certain types" to move into a particular apartment building or neighborhood, or running a large department store and informing the security team of who to focus on when it comes to potential shoplifters.

I usually get a discount for Sunday Ticket Max, the last two years has been 50% off the package plus usually some other add in like free HD for a year ($10 off per month for 12 months) or $5 off my package for 12 or 24 months or something like that but I usually have a hard time getting a discount on the Center Ice package. Usually they say they are showing no discounts available for hockey and I've even called their bluff and cancelled it before the season started only to have to call and re-add it after the 2 week free preview. The best they usually offer is some other discount like free dvr for a year or free ShowTime or Sports pack for 3 months. I think I have another week or two before my next bill comes in but this year I'm going to hold out and make sure I get some kind of deal on Center Ice.

In response to nfreeman (for some reason I can't quote your post), That wasn't a typo, I've been kicked out of the RBC Center or whatever it's called now at least 5 or 6 times. I'll be the first to admit that I share at least some responsibility in it, but for the most part I can honestly say it either wasn't fully justified or at the very least I shouldn't have been the only one escorted out. I'm definitely the anti-Chet. I cheer, stand, yell, pound copious amounts of beer and root for my team with a big mouth and a voice that carries. I almost always keep my language clean though because I am mindful that there are kids around. That usually leads to ###### talking from the local fan base about me, my family, the Sabres, the Bills, the city of Buffalo, or whatever they think will get under my skin. Which usually leads to an equal level of insults from me about the South, inbreeding, Nascar, Dale Earnhardt, and whatever I think will get under their skin. All of this is completely fine with me and some of the guys I've verbally sparred with I've even joked with in the beer lines or outside smoking during intermissions. Some of them take it personally though and use being the home fan to their advantage by throwing beer or popcorn on me and trying to slink off into the crowd or pretend it didn't happen. A few times I've had things thrown at me and went after the guy who threw it, one time in a half empty arena where I climbed back over 6 or 7 mostly empty rows of seats and security got to me just before I got to him. Other times security squashes it before it gets to that point and a couple of times they've given me the boot just because it appeared that things were heading that way. I will say that it hasn't been as bad lately though. I don't think I've been kicked out since 2010 or 2011 and I hardly ever miss a Sabres game there. I don't think they'll ever be that stupid again. On the other hand we could always be more resourceful. You can shred a beer can with you teeth and make a handy shank with some seriously jagged edges in a pinch if you have to, ha ha!

Prepare to be severely disappointed then, man. The baby eating and raping and pillaging is just a joke exaggeration of all the whining Canes fans did about us Sabres fans. I've been kicked out of their stadium on at least 5 or 6 occasions but the worst that has happened was a few fights/altercations that got broken up in the stands before they even got started and a couple of fights in the parking lots. Maybe there have been worse altercation I wasn't involved in but I'm pretty much genuinely despised by their fans and security so I'd assumed I was under their microscope for a reason.

I've heard rumors of them actually playing hockey games in Raleigh when the Sabres aren't in town, but I've never truly put any stock in the rumor. Are there even lines for beer?

It has definitely happened before although I'm on a work computer and can't really look it up at the moment. NFL rules even stipulate that the only way you can own an NFL franchise and another team in one of the other major sports is if they are in the same city.

I guess Republicans played no part in the Cold War, Desert Storm, the War on Terror, Afghanistan, or the second Iraq war either. I guess the fact that they absolutely hate any kind of government spending that isn't earmarked for the Department of Defense is just a misinterpretation by the left.

I go to pretty much every game in Raleigh and have gone to a few games in Buffalo while visiting the area. My seats have ranged from the nose bleeds to the top of the 100's to right on the glass depending on if I attend with buddies or family. I love going to games but it's expensive so it's probably a good thing I can only make a few a year. $10+ per beer in the stadium plus a tailgating 12 pack, parking, tickets, gas,and fast food before and after the game usually sets me back a couple hundred bucks each game or more if I'm treating the girlfriend or a family member.

I'm sort of on the fence when it comes to expansion but in the end I'm in favor of it. It sucks that the league will get watered down even further (we've struggled for the better part of the last decade just trying to find competent centers) but after the way they did re-alignment there was really no doubt expansion was coming. I'd like to see two more teams added out west (2 of Seattle, Portland, Vegas, KC) and if they are dying to get another team in Canada maybe they could move the Panthers to Quebec City or whatnot. Personally, I hate that everything has to focus on money but I guess whatever boosts the league coffers will also raise the cap and make it easier for Daddy Warbucks to flash his cash and keep all this talent we've been trying to stockpile. Other than the Sabres merchandise I get for myself or as gifts for family I only attend one or two games a year (whenever it's time to harass the hill folk in Raleigh) and the $160 or so I spend on Center Ice every year. Football it's the same, although Sunday Ticket is twice the price, I can usually get Directv to cut me a deal and get it for half since I'm luckily no longer under contract and can threaten to take my business elsewhere. For some reason they don't seem nearly as willing to negotiate on Center Ice.

See, I don't think he did. He spread the ball around to different guys and lots of people caught passes but he never seems to go through any sort of progressions or reads. It's like he's already made his mind up on where he's going to throw the ball before it ever gets snapped. Overall, he played a solid game and I'm glad we played well and won, but the fact that I never see him scan the field before he throws is concerning. Better defenses are going to key on that.

I'm as happy as anyone to see the Bills win but Manuel still needs to learn how to look at all his receivers if he ever hopes to be better than average. I'm happy for the win at this point, though.

Nobody is free of blame, but to say the left had to sell nation building is pretty ridiculous because asking any Republican to spend money on the military industrial complex is like asking a welfare queen if she'd like to see the money for food stamps increased. Republicans will piss and moan about every dollar spent domestically but give them a foreign country to bomb and they're always ready to lay out a blank check. The answer will always be yes. This country continues to build tanks, planes, and ships that aren't necessarily needed or even asked for by the DoD because the US military is a jobs programs even more than it is the world's police force. The really bad atrocities definitely need to be stopped but for the US to feel the need to get involved in every conflict (where there's oil of course) needs to be curtailed. I'm not some tree hugging liberal hippie either, my old man served in the Marine Corps for over 26 years and I currently work on a Marine Corps base. I appreciate that Obama seems to hesitant to get our military involved in combat. Unfortunately once he's out of office, we'll probably get another Republican chicken hawk in office who wants nothing more than to get together in a room where a bunch of old men get together and decide where young men can go to die.

I hardly ever see him scan the field and it concerns me and I keep hearing (particularly on the official Bills board but here and other places as well) that it's preseason, vanilla playbook, and other excuses that I shouldn't be concerned. It reminds me of the way Republicans describe the economy when they talk about regulation. The economy and the Buffalo Bills offense are like these my mythical caged beasts that are ready to roar except they are chained down by regulation or vanilla play calling. Then the chains come off (deregulation and the regular season) and it's disaster both ways (corruption and screwing over the poor and an anemic offense that can't score points or stay on the field). When I watch other decent/good quarterbacks I see them scanning BOTH sides of the field quite a lot looking for the open man. I don't see that with Manuel. If he does look to more than one guy, it's a guy on the same side of the field and I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt on that because I can't see his eyes watching games on tv, just the helmet turning to another direction. Manning, Brees, Brady, Rivers, Roethlisberger, etc. also have the threat of hitting the deep pass if defenses try to sit on the short routes and given Manuel's inability of beat teams deep it eliminates that threat and keeps the opposing defense from having to keep it honest. I'm a Bills fan so I want Manuel to play well and prove me wrong, I just don't have any confidence in him at this point.

He may be more physically gifted than Fitzpatrick, but he plays like Trent Edwards post-concussion in the Arizona game. He almost never scans the field or goes through any sort of progressions. He throws the ball to his first read or holds it until he is sacked. Fitzpatrick didn't have enough arm strength or accuracy to be anything more than mediocre but he could at least read a defense and scan the field to decide who was the best receiver to throw to.

The whole don't worry it's only preseason mantra is misguided. Yeah, the final score in a preseason game doesn't matter but the performance of the players does. The Bills stunk in preseason back during the days of Marv Levy because the starters played one or two series, drove down the field and scored then were pulled off the field for the bench warmers. Our starters on offense haven't proven they can do jack ###### against the other teams starters. EJ Manuel plays like Trent Edwards post concussion against Arizona. 90+% of the time he doesn't go through any progressions. He looks to his primary target and throws it or doesn't throw it. I never see him scan the entire field and he's more apt to throw it short then look down the field. I don't see how this team will have a winning season with him at QB unless he manages to take a major step forward in his development.

1. Stafford because I'm predicting another contract year production boost. 2. Reinhart because I imagine he'll be up with the team all year and if he manages to develop quickly the whole will be better off and improves us down the middle in particular 3. Grigorenko because if he is able to reach his potential and we can still manage to get Eichel or McDavid we'll have one of the best group of centers in the NHL.

For that to happen we'd also need to get lucky and draft the next Golden Child, Connor McDavid. I don't see it happening but I guess there's always a chance. Personally I'd be more than thrilled to have to settle for Jack Eichel but I guess we'll all have to wait for the season to play out.

I agree with the first part of your post and honestly don't mind either way if he's retained or booted out by the new owner. It's not hard to sell football in WNY and we still can't sell out games at the end of the season. Profitability has been all but guaranteed thanks to (previously) having an original owner with no loan/interest payments and having an older paid off stadium with money from the county to help with repairs, maintenance, and renovations. The team was guaranteed huge revenue streams due to revenue sharing/tv contracts and we almost never spent to the salary cap since Donohoe got his pink slip. It's not hard to sell tickets to games early in the season when the weather is great and even the Bills are still not eliminated from playoff contention, especially with some of the cheapest tickets in the league year after year and the great tailgating atmosphere. Throw in the constant threat of moving and losing the franchise because of an elderly owner with no (public) plan in place for succession and I think his performance as a marketing genius is severely overblown.

When I watch Manuel he doesn't seem to go through progressions, unless you count checking down to the running back. He seems to go to his primary read almost exclusively and stares him down from the second the ball is snapped. If the intended target is blanket he checks down or forces it. It worries me that he never seems to check both sides of the field on the same drop back. I'm not exactly going out on a limb to speculate that this is going to cost us against better defenses. Looks like another sub 500 season coming if I was putting money on it.

We're #1!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't surprise me, I definitely enjoy his act. I figured it was either Dave Attell or Louis CK, but Patton Oswalt seems like a likely candidate as well. Somewhere between "I hate" and uncle touchy's naked puzzle basement.

I don't know for sure because I'm pretty sure I stole the comment from some comedian years ago but I'm assuming that one (lucky?) gay dude is enjoy a swordfight in his mouth or something like that.
