    Tha' NBA Finals thread

    Yeah 94-82 is hard to watch. I just don't see the game going back to how it was in the past. These days teams try to out-duel each other by playing halfcourt offense where they don't turn the ball over very much. It's a "slow it down" kind of league. That you might be able to blame on Phil...

    Tha' NBA Finals thread

    I don't think you're going to get an old school series out of these two teams. At least in terms of physical play. The days of Laimbeer vs Rambis are long gone, and it's unfortunate. I still think you'll see some great play from this series. That Wade to James alley-oop in the last couple...

    How awesome is...

    Since I've Been Loving You is great stuff. I love the bluesy songs by LZ. Some of my faves are Fool in the Rain, Gallows Pole, Tangerine, and Traveling Riverside Blues.

    Leprechaun piss is the secret ingredient.

    Garbage Can Fermentation Chamber

    Great idea. I'd heard of people using coolers or bins to keep their carboy in, but I'm glad to get info on a can that will be a good size. I'm going to have to try this out in the Vegas summer.

    How long should I leave beer in the primary?

    It sounds to me like you bottled it early. What yeast did you use. Usually belgian yeasts are pretty efficient, so your final gravity was likely still dropping. As to whether or not they will explode, I don't know. 5 oz of priming sugar would raise a 5 gallon batch only about 3 gravity...

    Myself and a whole lot of my friends would be first in line for season tickets. I just hope the rest of the community(or at least a significant enough portion of it) would do the same.

    I actually heard about a proposal to build a soccer specific stadium on the southern end of the strip(there's a lot of open desert south of the Mandalay Bay). Obviously there would be the goal of bringing in an MLS team if this happened. The population in the LV valley is ~2 million, which...

    Wtf i get confused all the time

    Oh yeah. 10 days at the same fg, you're ready to bottle.

    Yeah GVFC was a club put together by the Green Valley HS coach to keep most of the GVHS guys playing together year round. I played for them my freshman and sophomore years, then our highschool coach lost his job/got transfered and the club disbanded.

    Smart people can be so dumb

    The valets at the club where I work deal with a lot of cars that have push button starts. Some of them have key slots still where you can place the key FOB. One time a guy came back to the club hours after leaving and said that the valet had kept his key. He said the car was running when he...

    Wtf i get confused all the time

    Often times final gravities are around 1.012 or so, so your 1.008 is a little lower than that. This just means that there were more fermentable sugars than the recipe maker expected. As long as your fg is stable when you take readings a couple days apart, and it's no longer dropping, then the...

    Yeah, I played for Neusport and GVFC clubs in junior high and early on in highschool, and I never liked Premeir. But later on in highschool I wanted to get looks from colleges, so I joined Premeir '83 bc they gave me the best chance of playing and competing in big tournaments.

    Did you play for any club or highschool team in Vegas? If so, we might have played against each other once or twice. I played for Premeir and Green Valley HS.

    Speaking of center backs, where has Chad Marshall been. In the few call-ups he's had I think he has done really well. If i remember correctly he suffered a concussion in one of the national team games and hasnt been given another chance. He's 26, and has very good size. I'd like to see more...

    discnjh: You're right about our backs propensity to belt the ball up-field. That's exactly why I would prefer giving up one defender to get a extra mid instead of giving up a forward to do the same thing. When the ball is cleared it usually bypasses the midfield altogether, so having 2...

    I like Shea, but I haven't see much of him in the back. I've mostly seen him playing on the wing. He has good size and seems to prefer to play wide on the left side, so I could see him transitioning to leftback. The problem I have with our left back situation is that we are continually trying...

    I guess the deal with Adu is that he's been getting playing time and performing well recently with his club in Turkey(second division I think). He is still young, so I don't mind them giving him a shot. I think he ran into so many obstacles after the original hype. We've all seen him do some...

    I hadn't heard about Chandler asking to stay home, but I still don't like Bornstein in there. Really the only reason guys like him and Heath Pearce get any play is because we have such a gaping hole in the left back spot. I don't think Bornstein played terrible in the WC, but he adds so little...
