  1. Sr. Scientist in R&D for a Pharmaceutical Company. I have submitted an abstract for a talk at the Eastern Analytical Symposium this fall. See you there.
  2. I have the original poster for the first Spiderman movie before they were re-done. That baby is in mint condition and framed. In the original poster, the Twin Towers were reflected in Spiderman's eye. The first ones were released in the summer of 2001 even though the movie would not be out until 2002. Distribution of these posters stopped after 9/11 and were replaced with ones in which the towers were removed.
  3. Wow
  4. My wife and I have seen them a couple of times. Good musicians, lots of energy If I were to offer similar bands, I would say....hmmm...String Cheese Incident, Phish...throw some Newgrass genre in the pot and out pops a good band. Based on some of the other music I have seen you mention, you'll enjoy.
  5. I don't know but it seems this article as well as a bunch of others somewhat contradict your claims and that of your sources. Correctly balancing protein & carbs I eat a high-carb, low sugar, low protein diet and work out constantly. The important aspect is that I only eat complex carbs (low glycemic index). Low glycemic food is especially helpful in assisting those who want to lose weight. Low glycemic index foods will increase the sugar levels in the body to sustain energy levels for longer periods of time. I am not trying to lose weight as I am about as lean as I can be. But it provides a good deal of energy to me even when I am unable to eat for a while. Though everyone is somewhat different in their metabolism and you are correct about the high sugar aspect of the typical American diet, this type of eating regime helps maintain weight loss. Besides the high-calorie meals that we enjoy, the other killers (no pun) are snacks and desserts. Going out to eat is always a challenge but every place has some kind of salad or fish.
  6. Please post a link to medical facts regarding this. The WHO, DHSS, NACNE, and others recommend eating 11-20% of total daily calories. Toward the higher end if one is an athlete. To me, that does not qualify as "rich in protein". The typical American diet is higher than this amount (as well as fats) but that's why a majority of the population is overweight.
  7. I could see where one of the storylines could be headed: The Others trying to use Walt to develop his special powers to conjur them off the island. Maybe Walt recognizes these developing powers and instead gets him back with Micheal and the rest of the flight and then conjurs them all off the island and blows off the Others. Many ways this could go.
  8. I live out-of-the-area (500 miles away) so my real cost is actually quite a bit more than that. This is a legitimate question - several years of futility and the biggest season ticket holder base this past season since the early 90s. Are people going to return based on what has transpired in the last couple of weeks?
  9. Perhaps I should wait until after the HC is chosen but for me this offseason, more than any other, has me wavering on this decision. I'll go first and commit to unsure but HC decision will do it for me. Another first-time HC and I'm heading for the bus.
  10. Whatever is on-sale at the supermarket....but no flavors.
  11. I have a few friends and family members that work at Michelin headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand in the center of France. Maybe that area does not have the other activities that interest you.
  12. Depends where you live in the Richmond area. I can walk to a bakery, a few bars and restaurants, and a butcher. But, I see your point. I purposely chose to live somewhere in this area that was similar to what I remembered. It is possible to find it, it just takes a lot of searching.
  13. If you ask me, I think they did it on purpose. Mike = Hank? 536983[/snapback] Damn, I caught it, too and GDamn it, you posted just before me.
  14. I certainly hope he was misquoted but in McKissic's column in the Buff News, there is this: "We've got to slow them down (and) we do," Mularkey said. "We have a penalty. It allows them to keep going. We have a tipped ball, guys are around it, touchdown. Instead of getting out of there with a positive, we end up not finishing the drive. I think those type of plays, they take the sail out of your wind a little bit and that's the most frustrating part." Hank's was ''took the sails out of our wind.'' but it's close enough.
  15. After watching this episode a few weeks ago (and laughing out loud when I heard this dialogue), I finally got around to re-viewing my Tivo copy. No background is necessary if you have not seen the show as the words are enough: Christian: A pre-nup? Kimber: It's a fidelity pre-nup. I had my lawyers draw it up. [pause] It states that after the wedding we agree on two things, OK, no more porn for me and no more affairs for you. [pause] I'm still a businesswoman with assets you know - I've got a reputation to protect. [Pause as Christian reads the pre-nup] Kimber: [breaking in and pointing to a page] Don't worry, there's a clause in there that still allows for threesomes. Geez...what a gal. BTW - Kimber (Kelly Carlson) pics
  16. Thanks, that was great.
  17. I don't know if BB will be that much of a d!ck and play Flutie if the game gets out of hand. But, with all the controversy swirling around Buffalo, that would be sure to whip the crowd into a frenzy.
  18. Too late for me...but I picked up a Delphi MyFi for $134 after $50 rebate and $15 credit for in-store pickup at Circuit City. Better price than your competitors.
  19. Bingo!!! A winner!! Of course, investing in a REIT is somewhat along the same lines.
  20. Too bad, no Root Boy Slim, "Boogie Til You Puke", "Heartbreak of Psoriasis", "Xmas at K-Mart", "Dare to be Fat". That's my benchmark for diversity on these kind of sites.
  21. I am partial to Ashland (not the area near I-95). Neat historic, small town with its own mayor and council where you can have a say, if you desire, in how your local affairs are governed. We have kids and can walk to the parks, pool, store, library, shops, etc. There is a college Randolph-Macon, in town, and we can walk to their cultural events as well as their sports (football, basketball, etc.). We also like the Fan and similar-type areas in Richmond but they may not be the best spot to raise kids. Overall, we like the prospect of living somewhere were you do not have to get in a car and drive to wherever you want/need to go. That is why the Fan, Ashland, etc. areas appeal to us. Lots of commercial development planned for the west end of Richmond so investigate wherever you look. Plenzmd1 lives in a nice area in the West End and Chesterfield is highly rated, too. Depends what interests you, what you want, and what you can afford but you can probably find all three somewhere in the area. If you are considering anywhere that is somewhat undeveloped, make sure to view the county's 5 or 10 year plan. The plot or house you buy may be next to a mall or a highway within some future time frame. You can PM me, I have been here awhile and lived in all three counties and the city of Richmond and can give you a pro/con on all of them.
  22. Did anybody notice what Mr. Eko was carving into his stick?
  23. Going on two years on my Fantasy Team and the guy is dependable no matter who they are playing.
  24. He's not, Maggie Grace has a new gig, she's done with Lost.
  25. David Lindelof, co-creator of Lost, states in an interview that season 2 covers 45-50 days, the same as season 1. Lindelof interview by SBC
