Travel - Washington DC

52342cyclone
Was wondering if anyone had any tips for visiting Washington DC. I already have times booked for White House tour, FBI building tour, and Holocaust museum tour. I plan on seeing all the monuments and definitely Arlington National. Would appreciate any other tips, must see, etc. I will be there for 7 days and all 3 of my scheduled tours are on 1 day so I have plenty of time. THANKS!

Should Michigan Embrace the Fab 5?

K
Now that Howard is the coach? If you were not around back then these guys were a show. Like must see TV when they played. Some of them took money in college, shocking, however, so many players have taken money in college now it almost seems ridiculous that it's even a thing. I mean Auburn still embraces Cam Newton.

I don't like Michigan. I loved watching the Fab 5 though. Epic battles with Hurley and Laetner were awesome for all basketball fans.

Wonder if LW gets to play in the G-league "combine?"

https://gleague.nba.com/news/nba-g-league-to-host-inaugural-elite-camp/

This will be interesting to me. As I understand it, the next 40 nba draft eligible players who don't make the top 60 invites to the real combine, will play in the G-league combine. There's an outside chance a few top players from this 2-day deal get the invite to the real combine.

So let's say LW plays in the G league camp and doesn't make it to the official combine, he'll know he's at best not in the top 60 players. And he might not even get a G-league spot. Does he want to go to Korea like Burton?

Just my hunch, but if LW get at least some sort of G-league guarantee he should take it. If not, does that slightly open the door to returning to ISU???

I was at 0% chance of returning, but maybe its 5%?

Highways 3 & 4

Cy4Lifer
Just drove both of these highways this past weekend. They are in extremely poor condition, especially Hwy 4 from Highway 20 north to Emmetsburg! Felt like parts of my vehicle were falling off! Any idea of how soon they will be upgraded/repaired? Any other nominees for worst state or national highway in Iowa?

AD to Lakers, could open a spot for Shayok

Cyforce
Probably a long shot but it makes a lot of sense. The Lakers currently only have six guys under contract which includes a project PG they drafted in the 2nd round last year and Curso a 2-way contract who should be a solid backup PG.

Rumors abound on signing Kemba or Kyrie on max or close to deals will causes a need for cheap contracts. Guessing they resign McGee and add another rim protector on the cheap basically leaving a huge void at the 2.

They'll likely find their starting 2 with a veteran exemption contract but his backup could end up being an undrafted free agent. Just thought a guy like Shayok might be a perfect fit for a team looking for cheap shooters.

***Official Smoking (Meat and Stuff) Thread***

AgronAlum
Im just getting into smoking and am looking for a couple recommendations.

First is what thermometer to buy. I would like something wireless to my phone with a decent range and automatic alerts if temps go outside the desired range.

Second is a reference book with smoking basics and recommendations. It looks like there’s a lot of options out there but I can’t decipher what ones are good or bad.

Farrell's Extreme Body Shaping

throwittoblythe
I'm about to sign up for the 10 week course. I want the non-sales pitch info from those who have done it or know someone who did.

What am I about to experience?
What are the goods and bads?
For those who have had success, what were your keys other than the obvious (stick with the diet, etc)?
Any secrets/tips that improve the experience?

[I realize there is a thread from 2007 on this same topic, but I'd like some more recent experiences]

Taprooms

dmclone
I've never been impressed by their beer but I thought I'd check out Mistress Brewing in Ankeny. The good news is that it's pretty nice and it has a ton of room. The bad news, I'm still not the biggest fan of their beer. I did have a stout from them that was infused with red hots, tootsie rolls, and hobernero's, which was pretty good.

What are your 5 favorites tap rooms in Iowa just based on the tap room itself? Mine it something like this:

Big Grove
Singlespeed
Toppling Goliath

Big drop off

Lion Bridge maybe
Lake Time maybe (Small and in a house. Cozy)
