Ever have something break after a party? Valuable advice
Last weekend I foolishly decided to throw a party. Intentions and activities aside, someone I never even met nor invited managed to put a hole in the drywall on their way to breaking a window. After calling around I found out that the thermal pane window that had shattered was a VERY expensive one on a part time salery. LUCKILY I found MT. Pleasant Hardware located on 249 Academy Ave. in Providence that does the thermal pane window repairs for only $75. While I was there the sales associate was able to walk me through the process of patching the holes in the drywall. Not to mention that my friend was able to get her wooden window repaired for only $25. I was just going to buy a whole new window from the depot, but the advice and service I received from Mt Pleasant was well worth the trip. Indeed valuable advice for everyone who has ever experience after party damage, or just plain bad luck. I would strongly recomend Mt. Pleasant for all your broken window and hardware needs.

ESPN's Rick Reilly at the World Series of Beer Pong
Rick Reilly has a great piece up at ESPN.com about this years World Series of Beer Pong. Here is a small part of it.
There is only one place I know that combines tiny balls, plastic cups and vats of beer. Besides Jose Canseco's house, that is.
It's a beer pong tournament. This is a sport that requires a steady hand, faulty hearing and a titanium liver. It's believed that 73% of all tuition money goes toward it.
Beer pong is played on a table slightly smaller than Ping-Pong's, by teams of two. Ten cups, filled about one-third with beer, are set like bowling pins at the ends. As you try to toss or bounce a Ping-Pong ball into the cups on the side opposite yours, opponents jump and yell unspeakables about your mother. If you make it, they must drink it. First team to sink all 10 cups wins. It's very sophisticated.

Drink Lots of Coffee or Red Bull? You Might Start Hallucinating
Those most at risk have at least seven cups a day or a similar quantity of Red Bull.
There was also more chance of them hearing voices, a Durham University team found.
The findings might be explained by caffeine worsening the effects of stress.

So is it time to rethink that 8th cup of coffee, or are you ready to hang out with some over-caffinated ghosts.
