Sounds like when I've had back spasms. When I get them bad it usually takes a week or so of minimal exercise to clear up. In my experience a boatload of Advil helps, or some essential oil blends like these (http://www.youngliving.com/en_US/products/essential-oils/blends/panaway-essential-oil" o...

AP indicted: Sources told FOX 26 SportsMinnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been indicted in Montgomery County for reckless or negligent injury to a child.

It was all Janay's fault. After Goodell suspended Rice for two games in July, this person said, Goodell told several NFL owners that he felt it would have been insensitive to question Janay Rice's story because it would have come across as an indictment of her character. Two people familiar with th...

Yeah, it was a touch more dry last week. What brought you out here? The greenbelt next to our house was filling at an uncomfortable rate this morning. Enough so my wife and I actually had a discussion about where to get sandbags. Looks like the rain is tapering off now, so don't think we'll have to ...

Not a dry day in the desert today. Phoenix, by 8:30 am, had already recorded more rainfall in one day than any day ever before. The airport has recorded over 3" so far, our average *annual* rainfall is about 7". Chandler, the 'burb I live in, has recorded over 5.25" in just the last 4...

Finished catching up with Orphan Black last night. My wife was a little skeptical at the start, but she's all into it now. Looking forward to the new season, whenever that is.

I'd bet the Cardinals and Chargers sit more. 4th preseason game, plus they play each other to open the regular season.

Started Orphan Black this week. Pretty good so far, through 4 episodes.

Interesting idea, from Deadspin of all places all places The United States has no database of police shootings. There is no standardized process by which officers log when they've discharged their weapons and why. There is no central infrastructure for handling that information and making it public....

Just an FYI, if you need to peel and chop wash your hands really really well with soap before taking a piss. (and found a place in Denver that's 25$ for a bushel, so got my plans for the weekend all set.) Remind me to ask you for the name of this place next year. We're planning a move to the Denver...

We've been binge watching this after binge watching all of Breaking Bad, just catching up last night. We almost gave up after a slow and boring Season 2 (and that's all the DVDs we had), but AMC ran the rest of the series on the 4th of July weekend. It did pick up from after Season 2, and I'm finall...

Tried the Laphroig, and holy fuck do I love it. This might be "the one." Still prefer Lagavulin, but Laphroig 10 is half the price. Plus, there is a code inside the canister that allows you to register a lease for life on a plot of land on their property. They even link Google maps to the...

Low humidity can do that, though it is more humid than normal since it's monsoon season.

I meant, "isn't it early to be starting school?" Mid-July seems like summer is barely here. Ah, I see... I thought you were referencing AZ's overall bad schools. Our district has a modified year-round schedule. So in place of a longer summer break, they get 2 weeks (plus a couple of days,...

This is great. Arizona Congressman acting like a tough guy confronting a bus full of children he thought were migrants.

Yeah, me too... The way the tire seemed to fall right on his head... Looked like the safety crew was pretty worried too as they worked to get Montoya's car off of him.

That's why when I bought my place, I made sure the neighborhood didn't have an HOA. And that's pretty damn hard to do out here anywhere you'd want to live. Ironically I'm thinking it'll probably help my resale value one day that there isn't one. Yeah, it's pretty difficult here too unless you go to...
