If they're funding your HSA, you can't go wrong. A lot of people are wary of the high deductible plan because all they can see is the high deductible. The mentality is, "Wait, with my HMO I only pay $100 bucks for a surgery, but with the HDHP, I pay $2800? Screw that." Flawed logic. If you...

So the preseason is winding down and I've seen this in other forums. What do you love and hate about your team this year and what do you think their prospects look like? Colorado Avalanche: Forwards. This is the brightest spot for the Avs. There was already a good core of players with Sakic returnin...

OK, one more time: You cannot get an accurate idea of BMI by plugging in your weight and height into some online calculator. Period. End of story. These tools cannot account for the amount of fat mass and non-fat mass in your body. Probably the best way to get these measurements are by doing a hydro...

Stellarium
Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer.

My 4 year old likes to look at the moon and stars so I brought out the telescope recently. Just discovered this one. It's very cool and a great way to learn constellations, planets, etc.

As the father of a two year old girl, I could give a flying fuck if he doesn't act on his twisted fantasy. It's not normal to fantasize about little girls. As such, he's a sick, twisted fuckup who can rot in hell as far as I'm concerned. If he comes within visual of my daughter, his life is forfeit.

In yer eye. It holds the lens in place or something like that.

Well, the nephron isn't microscopic, so I'm assuming you want something more specific. Bowman's capsule.

Props to you for putting in some anatomy questions this week. Shit, the only sports trivia I could answer would be hockey, but I won't hold my breath on seeing any of those questions.

ucant with the funnay. I doubt you'll see it called that in Gray's!

It's either the jejunum or the duodenum, I can't remember. I think the duodenum is the top portion of the SI, so I'll go with jejunum.

Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. As bad as this is for the NBA, I think it will go by the wayside once the season starts and people remember what this year's draft was like, and that they want to see what the likes of Greg Oden and Kevin Durant are made of. I don't disagree with you, though. This is a ...

One of the advantages (perhaps THE advantage) of Ubuntu over other distros is that there is minimal configuration involved.

I was all set to purchase a Beretta last year for waterfowl until I fired my dad's Super Black Eagle. To be fair, the Beretta was still good, but the Benelli took it past good and great to downright fucking awesome. It is the only gun I'll use for ducks and geese now.

Quite a contract Sid the Kid just picked up. I'm too lazy to google it up, but I'd guess that makes him the top paid player in the league.

Fuck me, this is great! When Drury went off the market, I figured the best the Avs could do would be to maybe lure Shanahan out of New York.

Just. Fucking. Awful. Can't believe the Ducks played that way.

I think the winner of this series can beat Ottawa, and I'd like to be the first (or the millionth) person to say that if I have to see Bertuzzi lift the most hallowed trophy in all of sports, I will probably be physically ill.

I know I underestimated the Sens. Everyone has been talking about the Sabres winning the President's Cup, how Drury and Briere are so clutch, how Miller is the most underrated goalie in the league, yada, yada, yada.

Dude has ice water in his veins. I've heard all kinds of rumors that Colorado would make a play to sign Drury if he makes it to free agency.

Thanks, Shoalzie. At least if he can score consistently, he'll be an upgrade from another 2nd line forward that doesn't play defense (*cough* Marek Svatos *cough*).

In the not so perfect category; he won't flush a pheasant or go get the pheasant after I shoot it. He'll also grow to 90-120lbs which is sorta like having another rugrat to feed.
