  1. The players are coming off long seasons, in a tournament like the WC they play multiple games on short rest.

    I think it's a great idea for the knockout stages. Go straight to penalties after regulation. IMO, the players are so tired after 90 + minutes that the quality of play drops dramatically.

    Can't eliminate ties in the group stages. The points awarded make the permutations and scenarios interesting.

  2. The engine blew on my 2003 Honda Accord and it cost me just under $2500 to get a new engine. I found engines on eBay for half of what my mechanic was charging me for the replacement engine, but he claimed that his engine offered a warranty.

    There are cheaper ways to get a new engine but this is the route I chose, because ultimately any other option wasn't saving me any real money. The bulk of the cost of repair was labor. The garage I had it towed to had a good reputation, but also not cheap. I could've tried to shop around but any savings I would've gained would've been eaten up by towing costs.

  3. oh, so are apprenticeships still the way to go? I mean, I have a full time gig so I can't go be an apprentice or take classes full time. I don't think it would even be cost effective in the long run, but it's just something I want to be knowledgeable about.

  4. Yeah, hard to argue that Mayweather has the physical attributes that Manny doesn't. As a Pac-man fan he does look like he has something to hide, ALTHOUGH he has no problem taking a post fight blood test. I think that should be sufficient.

  5. I just tried Straub Special Dark for the first time last weekend. I don't know what the beer's rep is, but I thought it was pretty good. Unless my brother-in-law was lying to me, I guess they're known for having all natural ingredients and no preservatives.

  6. Ive been to the Hofbrauhaus in Munich, and Octoberfest... but I thought that was in Garmisch... i could be wrong, I was young.

    They might have chains throughout Germany, but the orig one is in Munich.

    DYK that every region/state in Germany has it's own type of beer that it specializes in? Like it's a matter of regional pride or something.

  7. totally depends on the situation.

    Extended drinking (i.e. tailgating situation): I prefer Yuengling Lager from a bottle. No cans, if it can be helped.

    I like Hefeweizens and dark Belgian beers if it's just with dinner and I'm not allowed to get tanked.

    oh and a Hofbrauhaus (like the one in Munich) just opened up here in Pittsburgh!
