I think the GM boned himself. The standard group booking hotel contract includes a guaranteed revenue clause, usually around 80% of the expected group total bill (sometimes lower). I would expect that waiving that clause would be a decision-making process starting at the GM level, or at least requi...

If he stays, he's at 5-$108 and if he goes he is at 4-$80.

I'm really not sure how this is big news unless he says "I'm opting out because I'm leaving."

Agreed with this entire post.

I'm playing my first round of golf of 2015 tomorrow. Should be fun.

I know it's not a craft beer, but if you want pisswater, the Costco pisswater isn't bad at all for $21 for 48 cans.

I had the Saison Brett, a Prairie Bomb and a Boulevard blonde before dinner so I figured I was good enough to hit the Costco shit.

Does anyone have any tips for someone playing outdoor soccer for the first time in his life? First game was last week. Played RB and RM for the first part and found I enjoyed the midfield much more (This team was... interesting. There was no tactical discussion until halftime, so the first half was ...

I meant just get a normal sized laptop. Ah, misread. I don't need a MacBook.... knock on wood. I have one that I've taken good care of and just got the video card replaced and the hard drive cleaned in January. So I'm hopefully set there for a bit. I prefer working on my desktop because it's in my ...

Yup. Trying to figure out how much is Fox being bad and how much has been the terrain of the course. But good grief, you'd have no idea where the shots are going without shot tracker. Which I like. But it's become necessary because of the camera work.

I'd sell it for, what, $300 tops?

The 27" starts at $1800. What'd be worth the added expense?

Rather than starting my own thread -- I am going to upgrade my work desktop by the end of the year. It's a 27" iMac (about six years old). I figure that I simply go with a Mac Mini and use my monitor as a display, right? The $700 Mac Mini is tempting, especially if I can get it for less than th...

Hence why "clean" eating is, in very broad terms, bullshit and undefinable.

And why eat less, move more is so effective and simple.

The chemical adulterants in so-called food boost appetite. The chemicals cause increased hunger for those larger portions. Like a drug. Like an addiction. 100 calories of fructose create more fat molecules than 100 calories of protein, or other carb. Arguably more stored fat than 100 calories of in...

Oh shit, just noticed that was the 2015 coffee imperial. I still have a couple bottles of the 2014. I haven't gotten the 2015 yet.

Just bought a six pack of the Heavy Lifting IPA. That was the only non-smokestack Boulevard I hadn't tried yet. That'll change Friday night.

Tried the Boulevard Coffee Imperial Stout. Best coffee flavor in any beer I've tried to date, but I haven't opened a KBS yet. They claim their process of adding the coffee has the effect of cold brewed coffee, and they used Ethiopian Sidamo beans. Great beer. http://www.recommendeddaily.co/wp-conte...

Still no contact with them. The niece and the mom are around, but the dad and kids aren't.

Wlu, would you have the same level of reaction for the story if it was a softball team? My guess is no.
