I believe it’s because most of these guys have been recruited on baseball metrics and not their ability to “pitch”. Guys with elite velocity and spin will be recruited over lower velo/spin, and I guess coaches feel like they can refine them into strike throwers. In many cases there is improvement over time, but it’s rare that guys show up with control, let alone command. There’s a reason guys like Cowan go to smaller schools and prove themselves as a pitcher before getting a bigger opportunity.
Where are you headed specifically? I grew up in the area.

Electric hammer with wider blade has worked well for me also. For stubborn thinset adhered to concrete I've also rented a rotary floor type grinder that has carbide teeth. Home Depot has them, it spins relatively slow, but does create some dust. The grinder works wonders and is easy on the back.

Have to agree with you, used to be a fan but vowed to never return after my last visit and several years of declining quality. Food was okay, but service was horrid. To top it off we were unable to bring in a cake to celebrate a birthday without paying $4/person or buying their damn cake. Never heard of such, I'm sure restaurants have cost associated with washing the dishes - but damn.... Most places will store the cake for you until you're ready for it.
She has two left, one mini and one toy.
Do you have an email i can send you a phone number directly? They are located near Covington.
A friend of the wife just had a litter, only know because she was trying to show me pictures on Facebook. Will get the info and pass it along.
Another "witness" called WWL radio this morning around 6:30 saying he was pumping gas at the shell station and saw the whole thing unfold. Said both got out of their vehicle at the same time and he shot him in the arm first and then the chest. Sounded legit at the time, I shouldn't be surprised but good lord our society is a clusterfrick of epic proportions.

What did it run you?

Been shopping mowers in that range, haven't looked at SCAG yet. Ferris and Grasshopper are leaders in the clubhouse so far. Both in the 7-8k range.
Full pads, full contact - just like 11 man game, just played with 8.
It's been quite awhile, but from what I remember there wasn't much passing at all, almost everything was running. Which led the offense to play with the tight ends on the LOS. Which practically led to the defense playing a 4-3-1 or 3-3-2 depending on down and distance. No team ever kicked XP's, always went for two. The thing I remember most was having 11 players on the entire team, one of those each year was a foreign exchange student, which was always the kicker. Lol
I played 8 man growing up in Kansas. 3 linemen, QB, 2 RB, 2 TE/WR combo was a typical offensive set.

Thanks for the responses. I'll have to call the assessor's office, was trying to avoid it.

Property Tax - Re: Farm Animals

Posted by Longbeard on 1/19/14 at 3:59 pm
Moving to St. Tammany Parish soon from Texas and have been told that certain farm animals can reduce your property taxes. Anyone have any idea where this can be researched or confirmed? I'd like to read up on it. I've searched but haven't came up with anything, although I'm not exactly sherlock holmes on the computer.

You could try efowl.com or mcmurray hatchery online. We ordered day old chicks from them, they ship overnight and all arrived well. I know they offered about any kind of fowl/poulty you could think of.

Agree with most everything.

I hope to see Freak continue making plays. His name was seeming called more last night than any game this season, he's not the dominant DT we are used to but his name being called for something other than the commentators filling time was nice.

I actually noticed some improvement last night, outside of the LB'ers. The secondary was for the most part in position, i didn't see to many coverage breakdowns - and that's a start.
This guy would be watching, if my "provider" would carry ESPN3.

In Texas. :banghead:

I also bought this set up from R&R. Although I'm no expert Jambalaya craftsman, I really enjoy cooking in it. I prefer the round bottom pots, mine came with an aluminum lid - I guess he still sells them that way.

As soon as I got it home I bought a grinding wheel and light sanding pads for my angle grinder and worked the inside over pretty well. Last step was buffing it out as best I could before seasoning it to my liking. Make sure to clean the inside very well - you'll want to make sure to remove all of the dust. The inside being so smooth makes for an easy clean-up.

BTW, all of those pots say they are already seasoned. I would recommend seasoning the pot again at least once, probably twice before using.

Looks like junior missed a little to the right, but got the job done.

It must be the way my phone is showing the picture, but the bottom pic looks like a calf head on a hog body. :lol:
