All I knew was that it wasn't being worn in Syracuse, but glad someone could identify it! The weird part is that I can't think of any recent time SU basketball played anywhere in/around Chicago.

This is what I don't understand. The strike zone is a measured area, and while I concede that every umpire has their own individual way to call balls/strikes based on that measured area - so how does it get "larger or smaller" just because of the count (or pitch to pitch, or batter to batter)? All this study proves to…

I'm moving from the E30s to the E70's on Friday, and am looking forward to being in more of a real neighborhood. If I was ever going to leave Manhattan and still live in the city, I could see myself living in certain parts of Brooklyn, but that's really it. Any location that turns the subway ride into midtown over…

Manhattan resident here! I get all of your complaints about the island, and even share some - but as someone who travels constantly for work, I'm ready to lick the runway in Queens whenever I return because I'm so happy to be back home. I don't think I'm being elitist or anything in saying that either, but rather…

Duke was favored by 6, not SU.

I'd agree with you for any game he's calling where Duke isn't playing - homer colors come out in those games big time. His head would have exploded if Krzyzewski reacted to that call the same way that Boeheim did (had the tables been turned).

Good observation, and frankly, the one billed as a "Private Event" on March 8th in bumblefuck, WA is the most puzzling, because it implies that someone sought this terrible band out - exclusively and purposefully! - and intends to not only be entertained by them for an evening but also probably subject his/her…

This is the one I used - it literally did nothing. If I could write a review for it, I'd give it 0 stars. Never again.

The kit I used had all of that, I followed the instructions, yada yada yada. I think the clean-up I had to do may have been too tough for an off-the-shelf fix to handle, or, the guy who did the work used some higher powered artillery (or a sander). I have no idea, but the point is I'd never, ever bother with one of…

Laser is best for 98% of day to day needs...the other 2% is worth paying Staples to do it on the rare occasion you need it. Bought my Brother laser printer a few years ago for like $129 and couldn't be more pleased with the ease of use and quality.

I don't know shit about hockey, and even I could tell that the US squad looked like they were over-matched in this game. Spot on comment too, Barry, about how they only looked competitive while on the power play.

...Labatt Blue is delicious!

I've yet to find one of those "kits" that accomplishes anything. The one by the makers of Turtle Wax literally did nothing for me. Paid $50 at a car wash with detailing capabilities so a pro could do it - money well spent; they came out flawless.

Does this still apply in places like NYC where 1) prices are inflated regardless of where you shop, and 2) the volume of drug stores is much more concentrated than in suburban or rural areas (thereby increasing competition and more than likely keeping them all price competitive)? I especially find that sale items are…

You freelance people have a much longer leash to practice what you preach. Some of us don't share a tenth of the flexibility that the author here seems to take for granted. I'd consider just being able to wake up at the same time Mon-Fri as a luxury! Also, I'm eating two meals a day at my desk...minimum...and that's…

Know why I pay several hundred dollars a year for an Admiral's Club membership? 1) free beer; 2) better access to gate agents for things like switching flights and upgrades; and most importantly, 3) private and super clean bathrooms. Worth every penny! These things are like Admiral's Club's for cities, and at a…

I hope someone sees this...
Lifehacker! You know how in the past you've posted links to templates for car shopping, or rating wine - but how about wedding planning? I work in consulting so I have tons of colleagues who have created these, and was wondering if you've ever solicited submissions for them to share with the…

I travel for work a lot, so this happens in hotel rooms frequently for me (as I don't own a tablet and won't lower myself to watching anything on my phone). Amazing what adding an HDMI cable in your laptop bag can mean for the viewing experience in hotel rooms, as long as the TV in there is modern enough to allow for…

Between the ages of 16-21, I had several part-time jobs: supermarket employee (non-cashier), campus bookstore, driving range "outside worker" (yes, I drove the cart that everyone aimed at), warehouse labor, entry-level sales (read: glorified telemarketing), and life-guarding. Each one taught me all sorts of different…

I finally see something that isn't a VW Bug with a lower roofline. Improvement!
