 | Career in banking - Dead Mike on 4/8/13 at 4:14 pm I was wondering if anyone had any tips for starting a career in banking (commercial/retail). I don't necessarily have a path in mind (i.e. branch banking vs. wholesale) but I'm interested in learning what some recommended certifications would be, the significance of a finance degree (vs. another deg...

 | Mortgage Licensing - Dead Mike on 9/19/12 at 11:26 pm What's the best way to go about obtaining MLO credentials? Is the exam hard, what are the preferred study materials, etc? Do people typically take classes for this? I don't have much of a background in finance currently, but I'm strongly considering a career in banking and this seems like a basic fi...

 | Cooking a sirloin steak in the kitchen - Dead Mike on 7/8/12 at 1:46 pm How would you go about cooking a sirloin steak on the stove-top or in the oven (and not a microwave)? Last time I cooked a steak, I went with a NY strip and I followed an Alton Brown recipe (30 sec sear on both sides, 2 mins on each side in a 500 deg oven). Turned out great, but set off the smoke d...

 | Tim Hightower's fantasy value - Dead Mike on 10/6/11 at 3:16 pm I'm bearish on his fantasy value from this point forward. I'm in first place in a 10-team league where we start 2 QBs, starting Brady and Freeman. Unfortunately, we only have 3 bench spots so it's difficult to stockpile any talent.
Flacco is available on the waiver wire, and though he's had h...
