Mr Info

I suggest Ten Mile. It's a 2006 Petite Sirah, Zin, Barbera, and Carignane blend. You can get it for ~ $10-15 a bottle. Good red wine and not a lot a $. I bought a case.

I called yesterday and told them that I thought the price was high and was thinking of cancelling. The initial person who took my call forwarded me to rentention and they made the offer of $180 and I accepted it. It took about 5 minutes to complete the deal. I'm happy.

You could make the same claim for type 1 (not weight related) diabetes. Perhaps there is a relationship between the recent increases in a number of diseases/conditions. Theories on latent genetic traits being activated by an environmental trigger are hot areas of intrigue and research. Whether it's this or something else, I hope they can prove a causal relationship soon.

If you look around, you can get a lower end Thorens for ~ $400. High-end model is $10k. They make great turntables and the low-end model makes puts the $200 models to shame. Pay a little more and you can get something pretty good.

We have a project to take Viagra OTC. If that happens, most likely the European market would be first. When I discuss this with women, the first question is usually, "Why don't you make something for women?".

Rick, This helped me troubleshoot mine and saved me some $: Lennox tech talk Depending on your model, you may require a blade puller. Other places send you the motor with the blade. Hope it's an inexpensive and quick fix.

Could you send me one, too? If it's info to help me get some extra tix, I would appreciate it. I'm also working so I don't have a bunch of time to continually login or keep on dialing. Thanks.

You don't need manners to eat this but you need to be careful. I haven't eaten it but I did try something similar, fromage l'habitant, in Corsica which had live worms in it (I can't locate a video). After we cut a piece, we just let them crawl out before we ate it. It was good...tasted like bleu cheese.

This. Those people and their village had a similar look (temple) to other Smokey attacks.

You're posting VIP packages that include the best seats, food, special parking, t-shirt, and other stuff. I believe that the promoter puts together these 'packages', not Roger Waters. And these packages may be outside his jurisdiction. Anybody on TBD work for a concert promoter? I'll defend Waters as everyone is jumping on him. Waters/Pink Floyd could have made a whole lot more $ than they did. They recently won a legal fight against EMI to not allow single downloads of their songs in order to "preserve the artistic integrity of the albums": Floyd/EMI legal wrangling Have you ever seen official Pink Floyd dolls, pillows, pet gear, trading cards, etc or their songs promoting a product? There was/is $ to be made here but they did not choose to do so. I don't have the misconception that Floyd/Waters are entirely altruistic. Waters (and any other artist for that matter) is entitled to make as much money as he can. From the interviews I have read, he has tried to limit scalping and met opposition from TM when he wanted to do this. So, some compromises were made to address both sides. I didn't even consider the VIP packages since I don't want those perks. I guess there will be people willing to pay for these as I was just notified by e-mail that he just added about 10 more shows to his fall tour.

If Lost fanatics just don't get enough, the new Transmission podcast is up.

I'm a happy drunk.

It was me. That's some big coin. We'll see if people are willing to pay that. I got good seats through Amex and I didn't (and wouldn't) pay that kind of $. That's a tough discussion - would I rather see the money go to the artist rather than some scalper? sure - but is it necessary to set the bar so high on tix? not knowing enough about the show he will be presenting, concert overhead associated with his show, etc. makes it difficult for me to make an assessment. This is probably his last big gig and I expect his show to be top notch. I'm comfortable with what I paid. I ended up getting a preferred seat selection at a couple of shows but didn't pick them up due to the price. But if others do and are comfortable with that price, I'm sure they'll see an amazing show.

You'd think so...All I know is that I didn't get picked for preferred seats at any of the five cities I selected. There was a big disclaimer that you may not be selected no matter how many cities you registered for (five was the max). It's all a mystery as to how many were allocated to Amex, Preferred, VIP, and what will be available to the general public. Perhaps somebody in the concert biz who reads this can shed more light.

I got tix today through Amex for the show at HSBC on 10/8. I decided to go to the Jacksonville game and also catch this show the same weekend. Tix are a little pricey but they seem to be moving quickly based on some others I have spoken to and where they were able to get their seats. There might not be many seats left to offer when the Amex early purchase has finished and their lottery for Preferred Ticket subscribers starts.

Here's a Lost podcast with an extremely loyal following: Lost podcast IMO, it's a bit over the top but there are a bunch of people who enjoy the show including some on TBD who may be interested in hearing it. I listened to it while I was painting and gleaned some interesting anecdotes.

+1. You understand what's going on even without the subtitles. Arguably, the best action movie I have ever seen.

Interesting developmental situation with Brown. I don't think they risk leaving him on the practice squad so someone can snatch him up for free after Gailey and others have worked with him. Most likely, one of the other three are gonzo. JMO

One of them was a guy with the last name of Brady.

Thanks for sharing. My condolences on some tough times for you. Great advice!

Not necessarily true - see Orioles, Baltimore.

OK - who's the kid and why is Flocke avoiding him?

He's trying to cut down scalping by doing pre-sale to registered fans. You can designate up to 5 cities and if you're selected, you can purchase only 2 tickets and must pick them up at will call. It may limit the # of good seats to scalpers depending on how many seats they allocate for pre-sale but at least he's trying to do something about it.

He's bringing it back sans Floyd. The Floyd Wall tour lost money but technology has improved so he doesn't have to haul around the trucks for the bricks anymore. Waters' Wall tour dates 2010 His official site doesn't have dates posted yet but has relevant info.

I used to like sour cream and then I entered a 'belly buster' contest at a Muckdogs game in Batavia last summer when I traveled home. The 6th inning surprise was a 16 oz plastic cup of sour cream. I finished it by the third out but it was tough. That item knocked out 2 competitors - one ralphed and the other couldn't finish it in time. I started out well but when I got about 2/3 through, the consistency started making it unpalatable. I can eat a little bit now but I didn't want to eat any for a while. I apologize for the hijack but a few other items we had to eat: Can of kidney beans (drink liquid as well) 1/2 cup of garlic cloves covered in chocolate can of tuna (drink liquid as well - this almost got me as I made a tactical error and drank the liquid first) ice cream covered with whipped cream and anchovies veggie burger with baby food peas covering the burger
