QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 11, 2014 -> 07:46 AM) I have been making homemade pizzas for the last couple months, after a lot of trial and error I really have a good system now. Last time I even made my own sauce and it turned out awesome Google the Mozza pizza dough recipe... It is heavenly

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 10, 2014 -> 08:23 PM) After receiving yet another raise today, I now officially make double what I did a year ago. It's weird. After having a budget always and forever, I just find myself with more cash than I could imagine spending. That's with a huge savings account. Adulthood. Awesome. I admire your discipline. I make about twice as much as well but just find myself spending more and more I've made a large investment in my work wardrobe in the last few months. I think it's already paying dividends.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jan 10, 2014 -> 05:05 PM) Came out of LF, got promoted today. Didn't think that was going to happen for another few months. Congrats Russ! I'm sure you are well-deserving! What's the new position?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 10, 2014 -> 09:46 AM) Yeah and frankly his progress is crap, but it makes sense and I already tried something similar this year with lots of protein and veggies. Ill give it a whirl. The fiancee is on the Whole 30 diet, which is pretty similar to paleo I think. I've been eating it for dinner all this week (and since I have a salad every day at work for lunch, I am pretty much on the diet with her, although I refuse to give up booze). Not bad at all.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 08:04 PM) It's more of a do your own pace including speed up if it gets easy. I kind of like that. Definitely pause at times to make sure I'm doing it right. CVX is a bear the first time...even with just an 8 pound medicine ball...

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 07:30 PM) I just started P90X3 as well. I appreciate the half hour format, but the workouts are definitely a lot easier. If you haven't done any of the previous work outs, the learning curve is pretty steep. They don't give you much guidance. If you've never done Yoga, you're going to have a hell of a time keeping up. I'll stick with it because I'm so sick of the others, but I don't think I'll get as good of results. That should be obvious though the workouts are half the time. Yeah, but if you work at a faster pace, and do 6 workouts a week, I think they should still be pretty effective. I took off essentially 3 months from working out and just played football once a week and my body has bounced back pretty well after just the first 4 workouts. I think I'll get some pretty solid results. You could obviously do doubles if you like.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 07:36 AM) I skipped it and did some swimming since my back was barking last night and I didnt want to have to take a vicodin before a workout. I may keep it or put in a weight training day. Yeah, those jump knee jumps and scissor kick jumps are a bit hard on the back...

Rock, you think you will bother with the X3 Yoga? I think I might be able to actually tolerate this one... This morning was "The Challenge." Basically, sets of different pull-ups and push-ups in fairly rapid succession for the entire half hour. I'm really liking these shorter workouts...not a lot of time wasted warming up or dicking around. Just let's get down to it and be on our way. Allows me to wake up at 5, feed my dogs and drop a deuce, then throw some shoes on, knock out the workout, then shower and get ready for work and out the door by 640 or so. I really am digging it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 07:53 AM) The older part of my first floor just cant get above 56 degrees, its the only part that still uses radiators. Yeah, you should look into those Dyson heat/cool fans next black friday. They'll go on sale for $100 off. You can pick up a few of them.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 07:11 AM) Day 1 in the books, definitely a different type of workout so far, quicker pace, lots of balance. Yeah, they pulled a lot of the concepts of P90X2 into this one. Just did Agility X this morning. Wait til you see that goofy s***.

I like Castro, but not at the price of the feathered serpent. The reason he's supposedly on the block is because he's resistant to signing away some of his FA years. That means you're most likely going to be paying him above-market money in 3 years or he's going to disappoint. Considering the state of the Org right now, I'm going to stick with Q for now and look to address the catcher position elsewhere.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 6, 2014 -> 08:09 AM) After a small play around period and a back injury today starts Day 1 of P90X3. Pretty excited to see what a week of this does to me. Hah, I started it today as well. Day 1 is in the books! Felt good.

Gonna be 60 and sunny here today...but I am feeling for you all...

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 6, 2014 -> 07:02 AM) I'm sure some lawyer could find a way to make you at least partially responsible Yes, I believe you can still be negligent under Good Samaritan laws, but the standard is probably higher

Damn you Eagles! I think I lost about every bet I made on them this year...

Does anyone else think that last Clemson int was not a catch? I didn't think he ever really controlled it.

7 years for Cutler.

The southwest Visa card is great if you like to travel...

I do pretty well with my exercise and eating habits, but I'm bad about making sure I go to the dentist/eye doctor/general physician regularly. Had to get a root canal a few weeks ago and decided I need to deal with this stuff better in the future. Went to the eye doctor yesterday and was given two different prescriptions; one for reading/computer use and another for evening driving. Ordered some glasses online today.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 12:58 PM) I was talking up Quintana to Eno so hard at the Winter Meetings a few weeks ago (I was there for the job fair) but he didn't want to buy in -- I think I may have gotten his gears going, haha. It was the night before Santiago got traded. Did you have any luck at the job fair?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 05:52 PM) @RapSheet: Agree. RT @fishsports I don't think Norv Turner has been fired in Cleve yet. New Browns coach might like him. #cowboys will like him more. Norv turner is the cockroach that will never die I still think Norv is a really bright offensive mind.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 05:00 PM) The Bears didn't just lose 1 guy back there. They lost 8-9 at points of the season. That's kind of what I meant to say, but never got that far

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 04:27 PM) Tucker had his hands tied having to use someone else's defense and terminology. I wouldn't go off on him yet. He gets a year to do it his way. I tend to agree. Also, I think we need to realize how much of a ripple effect there is in the nfl. It's sort of like a bullpen...you take one guy out and everyone's role changes, not just one guy's. I think we were awful, but I'm not writing off some of these kids yet because they weren't put in a position to succeed; they were pretty much thrown to the wolves and I'd like to see a bit more. We've got so many holes, you're not going to be able to address them all anyways.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 11:40 AM) Yeah. I can't wait for the day when this isn't news. I actually sort of hope it turns out to be true. I think Aaron would make a good advocate.
