We kept this under twice our normal rent as well (including the garage).But the best part

Awesome beer. Chocolately, dark roasted beer. Good after din-din beer.From the label on the neck:Smooth and rich. Sam Adams Cream Stout is brewed with extra portions of roasted chocolate and caramel malts, roast barley and hand selected English hops. The tradition has it that ale drinkers of Sam Adams' day considered all other stouts to be merely milk. This was the cream. Cheers! (signed)

The article's bottom line:Men have to work harder deciphering what women are saying because they use the auditory part of the brain that processes music, not human voices. Men's brains are not designed to listen to women's voices. It's not the pitch of the woman's voice, but rather the vibration and number of sound waves that cause

Owen Chamberlain, who co-discovered the antiproton with Emilio Segrè in 1955, has died at the age of 85. Chamberlain and Segrè shared the 1959 Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery of the particle, which has the same mass as the proton, but opposite charge. Postulated by Paul Dirac in 1933, the antiproton is now routinely used in particle-physics experiments.
