    Finishing Basement

    In my old house which we just sold in Dec, the basement was cold. Despite insultation. One reason was cheap carpet and padding. You don't realize how much cold comes from the concrete slab. As a result, we barely used it in the winter. It was awesome in the summer. But 1/2 the year we didn't...

    U.S. patent office has cancelled all trademarks on the Washington Redskins

    Ives Goddard is Senior Linguist in the Department of Anthropology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. I'd wager he knows more about the history of the word than nearly everyone alive. http://anthropology.si.edu/goddard/

    U.S. patent office has cancelled all trademarks on the Washington Redskins

    i would say yes. if 90% don't find it offensive, and if they themselves use the name for their own mascots, then it is ok. sources? http://thinkprogress.org/sports/2014/01/31/3233961/goodell-redskins-honor-native-americans/...

    U.S. patent office has cancelled all trademarks on the Washington Redskins

    Or a minority of 10% of NA's who do find it offensive pushing for a change the other 90% doesn't find offensive. Maybe they should change their name as well? http://rmusdhs.ss4.sharpschool.com/

    August 2014 Car Rental Deal Watch!

    You don't know which of the companies you are going to be renting from if you name your own price. However, it will be one of the on-site locations. So you won't be taking a shuttle offsite to pick up your car. In the past, it always seems i end up with a car from Avis. I think 1x it was hertz.

    DC Metro help needed - Please?

    Little bennet is a fine campground. I used to camp there in HS. To get to Shady Grove, just hop on 270 to 370. It might take 15-20 minutes. Especially if you're heading out early in the morning. I lived in Germantown/Gaithersburg MD for the better part of my life, and I can't say it's ever taken...

    any jeep or ford escape, ford focus or cmax drivers here?

    Hogwash. Jeeps from the 80s and 90s were horrible when it came to reliability. I had an '89 Wrangler. Which got me 190k miles. But I kept pumping money into it to get it there. Same with my '97 Wrangler. Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge is a much better brand now than they were even 4 years ago. From a...

    Credit Card Curiosity

    If you are looking to get rewards back from your C/C, there are far better options than the disney visa. Frankly, the "cash back" rewards from the disney visa are some of the worst I've seen. just a standard 1% across the board.

    Unauthorized pool visits +

    When we're on vacation, I tend to just stay at the pool where my room is. With the exception of staying at BCV. It's an easy walk to BWV to use their pool. We stayed at Kidani in 2009, it never occurred to me to walk over to Jambo to use their pool. If my kids complain about not going to a pool...
