But this ESPN article from a few months later kind of sums the whole story up.... LINK

Except there wasn't a Popeyes in Troy at the time. It was Crowe's Chicken, a local favorite. I remember driving down for that game. We left Birmingham early, got into some storms, and the game was delayed a bit at kickoff. We didn't miss much, but ended up getting to see us beat OSU. Then this story comes out later and it was just hilarious.

I've dealt with two. One in my neck, and one in my thoracic spine. PT can work wonders if you're otherwise in good shape. Go see a doc and get an MRI like others have said. The physical therapy will likely be targeted at increasing muscle strength in the areas that support your spine as well as mobility. With it being lumbar they will also want to check your hips as well, since a little tightness there on either side will make your body compensate, and that can lead to problems further up in the body. It will be a slow process if you don't need surgery, but you will start to see improvements at first and then gradually get back to a more normal state.

My neck disc didn't bother me too much as far as pain. Oddly enough I noticed tingling and numbness in my fingertips when I was loading or unloading the dishwasher. The PT guy asked me to demonstrate, and he said every time I bent at the waist, I would tilt my head back and pinch those nerves, which lead to the tingling.

The one in my t-spine was causing bad sleep and pain a few days a week. It would be fine for a while, and all of a sudden I would wake up feeling like I needed to pop my back but nothing would release the tension. Massage guns, a TENS unit, icing and stretching were all good for it though. I fell asleep with the TENS unit going most nights. I'd wake up during the night and feel something still stuck to me and realized that it finally relaxed the muscles enough for me to drift off.

No matter how “washed” your peanuts are, that water you dump after an hour of boiling will still be dirty as hell.

It will come out looking like sweet tea.

I cheat a little and use a pressure cooker for mine. I cover them with water in a big pot and put a strainer on top of them with something heavy sitting in there to make sure they are all submerged and soak them overnight. Dump them and wash them again, and about 30 minutes after the pressure cooker comes up to temp and the pressure indicator pops up. Then I kill the heat and let it cool down and depressurize. There's still a little bit of crunch to them, and none of them are slimy and soggy that way.

My thought is no and my contractor agrees. However, my wife is completely freaking out.

Take her on a vacation while that is being done, never mention that the tiles were not removed, and delete this post.

All depends on the type of parking lot. It is much harder to back into diagonal striped lots that are one-way like at many shopping centers and grocery stores. Straight spots, I'll back in if I can. Our lots at work all have straight lines and it seems like most of the men that work here back in and most of the ladies don't.

One thing I haven't seen discussed is why Michigan didn't have to attempt the PAT or two point conversion. I don't remember if it was college or pros, but I do remember several years back a team scored on a long pass at time expired to go up by one. They botched the snap, defense recovered it and ended up getting tackled before he could score going the other way, but I always thought if there was even a chance of the other team making a play that you had to play that snap. Sure you could line up and take a knee, but a bad snap or the QB bobbling the ball can still happen.

On January 25, 2008, ESPN NFL analyst Chris Mortensen reported that Davis, who was not known for being patient with his coaches, tried to force Kiffin to resign after his first season ended with a 4–12 record. A source allegedly close to Kiffin told Mortensen that Kiffin would not resign, and would not sign the letter of resignation that would cause him to forfeit his $2 million salary for the remaining guaranteed year of his contract.[18] However, the Raiders denied the story, while Kiffin refused to comment.[19]

On September 15, 2008, NBC Sports reported Davis was unhappy with Kiffin, and intended to fire him as soon as the following Monday or Tuesday. On September 30, 2008, Davis fired Kiffin over the telephone.[20] At the televised news conference announcing the firing, Davis called Kiffin "a flat-out liar" and said he was guilty of "bringing disgrace to the organization". The Raiders said the move was made for cause, meaning they would terminate his contract immediately without paying the $2.6 million that was left on it for 2008. Kiffin later added in an interview with ESPN that he was not proud to be associated with Davis's accusations and was actually more embarrassed for Davis than himself.[21] The Raiders subsequently released a letter Davis sent to Kiffin on September 12 that warned him that he was on the verge of being fired for "conduct detrimental to the Raiders", including repeated instances of making excuses and outright lies.[22] Kiffin's post-firing press conference was canceled. Kiffin filed a grievance against the Raiders, claiming that he was fired without cause,[23] but on November 15, 2010, an arbitrator ruled that Davis did indeed have cause to fire Kiffin.[24] Kiffin's short tenure as the Raiders' head coach ended with a 5–15 record. Offensive line coach Tom Cable was given interim head coaching duties for the remainder of the 2008 season and was later made their permanent head coach on February 4, 2009.

Several of his former Raiders staff expressed interest as Kiffin began assembling his new staff at the University of Tennessee. On December 15, 2008, Raiders head coach Cable lashed out at Kiffin for hiring one of his assistants, James Cregg, with two weeks remaining in the NFL season. Cable called the timing of Cregg's departure "wrong in the business of coaching" and indicated he had lost respect for Kiffin and planned to confront him about it. Nothing further was said publicly regarding the incident.[25]

Despite the animosity between the Raiders and Kiffin, he released a statement following Al Davis's death in October 2011 stating that although their relationship had not ended well, he appreciated the opportunity Davis had given him and had "nothing but the greatest respect" for the late Raiders owner.[26]

I can't think of a time I've been in one either. Captain D's however is awesome. The one near our house is always busy and the food is great for fast food seafood.

I just installed the braun nutone in both bathrooms. They are extremely quiet and the led light is much brighter than the old ones

We put one of those in a couple of years ago, and it has been great. Mine has the option for dimmer light as well. Flip it once and it is full bright, flip the switch off and back on and the light comes back on dim. I had to cut the opening slightly larger, but it was a fairly easy install.
