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

1st & 2nd Gen ipod touch work with Skype so Toktumi should as well.

Great idea. It will be interesting to see what becomes of this. My kids rarely speak on the phone...it's all texting - so that part of it wouldn't work for me. But, it appears it's in the works - from the linked article "You can't get or send text messages on your Line2 line. (The company says it will fix all this soon.)" Then I'd be more interested.

Can you send me a link where this has been documented in a reputable journal? I am not denying this may be true but I have not found any studies (epidemiological or retrospective) in journals that I search through. I have seen a correspondence in the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia (1995, 42(2), p 177) that pertained to hallucinations under anesthesia with a past history of LSD use but the author questions whether these two are correlated since it does not appear there is any data to corroborate this.

Kind of...synthesized an analogue and made it diethyl instead on dimethyl. That was long time ago....similar effects.

Can't say that I have a fave, one month it's Animals, another Meddle, another Obscured By Clouds... Anything they did together before Waters split is fine with me. Look around out there and you'll find some interesting stuff such as a Video Anthology of Pink Floyd (3 DVDs). My personal fave that took me a long time to get was the surround sound (DVD) of DSoTM (quad instead of 5:1 because that's how it was recorded back then so no center speaker). Though you may have heard it a gazillion times on other media, listening to it in this format was like a new experience. Rumor has it that Parsons was miffed when he was not asked to help with the 30th anniversary re-release so he took his copy and made it available. I have looked everywhere and spoken to Floyd Freaks throughout this world and cannot find a copy of Floyd on The Pat Boone Show. One of Syd's last 'performances' - if you want to call it that. The Live at Pompeii - Director's Cut is another good DVD that I recommend for Floyd fans. FYI - It appears Roger is going to bring the Wall again on tour, starting late this year from what I've seen. Technology has improved so he can afford to do it.

For you Michelin fans, the rubber man has a name: Bibendum.

Word. OTOH, if you're just looking for some inexpensive tires, Costco or any discount place will do. Tire Rack allows you to select your car/color and model many different rims with different tires on them to determine the look you want. You can view the performance rating of the tires for the conditions that interest you. Good prices, experienced staff, and you can get customer feedback for installers they ship to/work with so you pick a good one. And the site does a whole lot more than what I just described.

You sure can but if 2-channel sound is important to you, I would get some kick-ass front speakers as part of that 5.1 system.

A lot of good suggestions and I'll add my .02. I am only 5 lbs over my HS graduation weight of over 30 years ago. I can attest this to a dedication to exercise and good diet that I have maintained. I am still competitive in several events and still looking at venturing into others. I have diversified my exercise activities. Though I run, I also bike, swim, and participate in many other sports (basketball, baseball, flag football, etc.). I believe the diversity helps with encompassing a number of muscles that may be missed if you focus on one activity. I also go the gym to hit the elliptical cross-trainer and weight machines. The diversity and familiarity also helps because when my knees are sore, I will hit the cross-trainer or swimming - similar for other muscles. In addition, the diversity helps limit fatigue or injury when muscles are overused. My problem has been that I do not have much free time to get to the gym or exercise. I have been able to limit my workouts to 45-60 minutes and yet obtain adequate muscle coverage. But during that time, I'm going full-tilt the entire time. But you may want to build up to that if you are just starting out. You may also want to hit a core muscle exercise class. It's great to get/keep to fortify your core muscles especially when venturing exercising other muscle groups that may be dependent on core muscle strength. I usually participate in a core exercise routine every two weeks. My diet is mostly complex carbs with just a small amout (~15 % calories) of protein. I do the 80/20 rule when eating: I eat healthy 80% of the time but 2-3 meals a week, I eat stuff I normally wouldn't. I use the Glycemic Index when evaluating which foods to eat. There is compelling evidence that a high Glycemic Index carbohydrate is associated with an increased risk of obesity. You have been given some sage advice from others - good luck with whatever you choose and stick with it.

What's NAAFA? The "National Association of American Fat Asses"? I'm too lazy to google it.

True for me as well. eSJD - the mats I installed under the tile are not intended to heat the bathroom; just to warm the tile. The three bathrooms I installed them in are varying sizes - from 6x10 to 12x14. I also installed it under the kitchen tile as well and that area is much bigger than any of the bathrooms. They all work great. I'll have to get back to you on unit wattage.

Another option I did was install heated tile mats (electrical - 120v, low watt & low cost) with a digital thermostat control under the tile in all our bathrooms. I have them turn on in the morning so that when anyone gets up, the floor is warm. Obviously, this is only programmed in the cool months. However, we have our HVAC system feeding the bathroom. Can you extend the ductwork for whatever system you have for the rest of the house into the bathroom? It's a nice feature and, as someone mentioned, chicks (my wife) love it.

ImgBurn has always worked well for me. I recently tried to use W7 DVD Maker to burn a DVD of an AVI file and would lose the sound no matter how I screwed around with the advanced parameters. Used ImgBurn and it worked with no tweaking of parameters and a whole faster too.

OK, I am willing to suspend my skepticism over a number of things in this show and buy into whatever is shown for entertainment purposes but when Jack said "neucular", I had to laugh out loud.
