    Dry Rub recipe for ribs?

    Add some finely ground coffee to the rub. It adds that earthy and aromatic flavor that you might be looking for. Also, get some smoked paprika and add that to the mix. You can experiment with how much to put in. But, I put together a pretty good dry rub that includes salt, black pepper, cayenne...

    Is the Earth going through a Cycle?

    Tornadoes in the Midwest and flooding along the Mississippi are not odd. It happens every year, sometimes more or less than any other year. And, this year it's more.

    Did you hear about Nate Kaeding, the kicker for the San Diego Chargers?

    This joke originally came out in 2004. Except that he supposedly tried to shoot himself in the head and missed. I actually feel bad for the guy. He was devastated in 2004 and it took him years to get his confidence back. That 52-yarder against the Bengals was supposed to have finally exorcised...

    car insurance cancelled on a financed vehicle in massachusetts?

    When the policy was canceled, the insurance company notified the finance company. It may then take them a couple days to get ahold of you, but expect a phone call soon. Certainly an urgent notice in the mail within the next couple of days. If you don't have insurance on a vehicle that's...

    Were Their Ever Any Tough Kickers Or Punters?

    Darren Bennett was the punter for the Chargers for about 8 years in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He was a star in Australian Rules football and he was one tough dude. He didn't look that big. But, he was about 6-5 and 260 pounds. One time he kicked the ball and the return man made it all...

    After last nights game....?

    I hope so. I took Parker in my fantasy draft and Mendenhall was available toward the end of the draft and I picked him up very late as a handcuff for Parker. And, this turned out to be a great move.

    what impact do wind turbines have on the environment?

    The two most common arguments people have against wind turbine generation of electricity is that they're unsightly and that birds get killed when they run into the turbine blades. In areas where high winds are possible, there is also the possibility that the turbines could go too fast and blow...

    What's up with the whining some Redskins fans are doing?

    It can be devastating emotionally and mentally to either be the only team that another team beats on their way to 1-and-15, or to be the team that the team with the record for futility finally beats to stop the losing streak. Brian Billick, head coach of the Ravens at the time, said that he...

    which Brand Stereo amp is best?

    Well, you get what you pay for. A top-shelf Marantz tube amp might be the best of that bunch. Nad makes great integrated circuit amps for the money. Rotel makes good high end amps for use in Europe. Cyrus is better known for their CD player technology. And, Denon, Onkyo, and Yamaha are better...

    Radio Handset Communication Question!?

    Some radio handsets are sold in pairs where they put out an inaudible audio signal with the transmission. The receiver picks up the transmitted signal. But, unless the receiver picks up the particular frequency audio signal, it squelches the receiver, so that nothing is heard. When the correct...

    How did this mouse get in my home?

    Mice are very flexible and can squeeze through the smallest of holes, even gaps under doorways. They also don't necessarily choose dirty or unkempt homes. They can get into the walls, and get into pantries and cupboards (as you found out) wherever there is food available. Mouse traps do work...
