    Traveling to Brazil and Argentina and Money

    Brazil is pretty good about taking credit cards and there are plentiful ATMs. It's been awhile since I've been to Argentina, but I remember credit card acceptance being pretty good. ATMs were a pain in the ass, though. There was a daily withdrawal limit and I recall only being able to use...

    Napa Valley/San Francisco Vacation

    Try looking for flights from ZFV (United sells an amtrak ticket from PHL-EWR connecting to flights from EWR), which can often be cheaper than departing PHL. If you can drive to EWR, that also opens up some options. Lastly, you can look at flights to SMF, which is just >1hr from Napa. Some combo...

    Update inside: Is economy in A380 better than business class in an older plane?

    The SA flights in business class are nice, but that stop in Dakar sucks. They wake you up half way through the fly (middle of the night, everyone is sleeping), spray you with bug spray because they open the cabin doors and mosquitoes come in, turn on all the lights, and check your passport. I...

    Frequent Travelers - Using Points Question

    You should have enough miles for 2 business elite tickets at the saver level (85k/pp). Delta award search is notoriously bad at find availability / pricing awards. Try searching for partner availability on Alaska or Hawaiian or try calling and working through your itinerary with an agent.

    Manning to Denver

    Superbowl victories probably aren't the best measure of conference strength. If you look at aggregate interconference records by year, 2011 was the first year that the NFC won outright since 1995. Since 2000, the AFC leads the NFC 383-311...

    Critique My RESUME!

    Objectives aren't really necessary. You can mention an objective in a cover letter, if applicable. I would drop Safeway as its 5-6 years old now and doesn't seem applicable to what you're looking for. Similarly, cut down the 8 bullet points from Target. Your Navy experience (most recent) and...

    Tax Question about COBRA Reimbursement

    In the case of an employee paying the premium and seeking reimbursement, would this be similar to any other ordinary expense (e.g. travel), where he is issued a separate expense payment which is not subject to taxation or included in W2 wages?

    Tax Question about COBRA Reimbursement

    I have a question about the tax implications of a new employer (who doesn't yet offer health insurance) paying COBRA insurance premiums for someone to maintain his old employer's insurance benefits until a plan is established. Some internet research seems to indicate that this arrangement...

    OFFICIAL NFL week 15 thread

    In both instances a running back went low, but the rusher was not engaged. For it to be an illegal block, the defender has to be engaged already.

    OFFICIAL NFL week 14 thread

    It will be even funnier when the #5 seed rolls into town (likely PIT, possibly BAL if they slip up) for the wildcard round. James Harrison might actually kill Tebow.
