Today the University of Notre Dame announced its new uniform combination for 2015: blue jerseys with black helmets.

Dessert is when we will usually go out. I make the dinner and do all the lavishing, but then we go out to a nice frou-frou restaurant where we could have dropped $120 on scallops and steak, but instead spend $40 on really nice, house-made desserts, scotch, and good wine. By going out at 8:30 or 9:00 we miss the…

It kind of goes along with

Ramsey is using 8-10% now, which is more realistic, but it's still much better than Your Money or Your Life, which is telling you that you can get an 8% return on US Treasury bonds.

I played for a long time, long enough to get to Level 100 anyway. I got kind of bored with it after a while, though, and moved on to other games. If heists come sometime soon, I'll probably hop back on and hopefully grab the last couple of trophies I need for the game.

I would also add: don't feel like you have to be able to enjoy every type of art. For example, I don't particularly enjoy paintings. For some reason I don't react to them emotionally. But photography and detailed pencil drawings I love. I could stare at the intricacies of a finely composed photograph for hours.

That last bit is not accurate. You can't be taxed on "interest saved" because, by definition, it has not been accrued. It's only assumed interest, not charged interest. You don't actually owe that money until it's been accrued, thus it's not a negotiated debt.

It's spatter. Blood spatter. One would expect a seasoned crime reporter to know that.

In his defense, walking unarmed through an apartment door is a good way to get shot by a skittish NYC cop these days.

Man, have I got a coach for them.

I think this article is more about not knowing exactly what the bill is charging you for. I mean, my water and power bills fluctuate every month so they could add a fee and, if I didn't look at my statements, I probably wouldn't notice unless it was particularly large.

Depends on where you live. When we bought, our combined income for a teacher and a librarian was about $80k and we bought a nice house for $132k. And this was not even two years ago.

You might want to look at your withholding, too. Generally, when you switch your W4 to "Married Filing Jointly" and list two exemptions, the amount withheld goes down (because they're assuming yours is the only job supporting both people). Your "nice return" may have just gone into your paycheck because less was…

The idea is to count up in small increments using fives and tens.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I do think it's worth pointing out that the only reason their business model is struggling is because of illegal activity. I mean, if the US Government suddenly stopped enforcing patents and Apple started losing revenue because companies were making iPhone clones for cheaper, we…

Oh, I completely agree, I just think its a bit disingenuous to point to the few micro ways in which piracy can help companies while ignoring the macro trends that hurt them. It's been good for consumers (at least in music) but you can't deny that it's been extremely harmful to companies.

This biggest harm piracy has done to the media industry is to introduce and further the idea of unbundling. People will argue that piracy didn't damage the music industry when the truth is that the worst thing piracy ever did is allow people to get individual songs. Once that happened, and once the industry followed…

I love doing this with bocconcini (the little mozzarella balls). You have to leave them out to dry out a bit, since they come packaged in water, but they ease up the cutting part and make the end product a little more consistent, since all the pieces are roughly the same size.

According to the university she got into a tiff with the coaching staff and that's why she left. They granted her a release from her scholarship but didn't support her waiver because she never gave them any documentation for the hardship she was claiming. Whether you believe that, I don't know, but it makes things…

The alternate, of course, is to jack up your cable rates.
