 | Superman III and IV - TigerWerm on 4/29/13 at 10:11 pm What a waste of Chris Reeve in his prime.
Superman III is on HBO right now. I'd forgotten how stunningly bad the plot is. Would it have killed the producers to use source material from the comics?
Reeve and the fans deserved better.
Hopefully Man of Steel will finally deliver the goods....

 | Effective tax rate - what is reasonable? - TigerWerm on 4/13/13 at 1:15 pm Evidently my taxable income went up by about 121% in 2012.
I'm in the 25% tax bracket and my effective tax rate now sits at 8.6%. Is this reasonable? or should it be lower? is there some type of rule of thumb that should be a target range?
I Googled around and didn't get a satisfactory ans...

 | Les Miles and the 80% factor - TigerWerm on 10/7/12 at 9:35 pm In the 7.5 years under Les Miles, we have had issues offensively against teams that can match us physically.
80% of the time, LSU is physically superior to their opponent...enough to where it can exert its will in the trenches and win the game by sheer physicality.
It is the other 20% of the t...

Why would you want to create those distractions for your players? He should have been focused on how his guys are going to block Montgomery, Mingo and Johnson.
He's obviously scared that the stage ...
