Thoughts and prayers to the Kelly family.
Even though Hunter's fight is over, this disease is still afflicting children and the research for a cure continues. Keep fighting the good fight.

I have the Sony Ericsson Z500a. It's a flip-phone with photo-video camera and speakerphone (which I like). I got it on-line at Cingular's website for cheap; they were having a web-special.
My only drawback, however slight, is mine has no games, just a few game demos that you can purchase (which I'm too cheap to do).
Overall, mine works really well for me.

How and where did you get it so cheap? I think that jersey would be a good one to add to a collection...

My wife and I found out our first child is a boy, and "Beautiful Boy" by John Lennon (and what's-her-name) off the Double Fantasy album is one I've been playing. Maybe that works for you, too?

I plan on getting my media credential to shoot the game. Since Duke Preston went to Illinois, he's a local kid and I'm going to do a story on him. Last year I was shooting video in the end zone when Kenny(?) Thomas picked off a Peyton Manning pass and ran it in for six. It's always good to rub elbows with players from your favorite team.
If and when I do get my credential I'll PM you guys (Art and "U") to see if we can meet up before the game. Maybe I can score a couple of extra media guides for you?

I'd like to see anybody but Mike "The Mouth" to win. He came across as a jerk from last year's WSOP coverage.

As a way to make amends with the fans, maybe the NHL Center Ice Package on DirecTV will be free for all or half the season?
One can hope....

Thursday, Friday and Saturday are all "Flight Days", meaning they're paring down from the 5,500+ entrants down to 1,500-1,800. Then next week is the tournament, with the Final Table next Friday, I believe. So I dn't think all the notable names have been knocked out, I think their flight rounds haven't started.

I hate to ruin it for anyone but Monica (Glenn Close) will be leaving in some shape or form next week because she will not be on the show for season 5 because she wants to be at home with her daughter since shes a senior in HS. She said she might come back later or make guest appearances though.
***SPOILER ALERT***
You're right, Glen Close is leaving. According to the Associated Press:
THE SHIELD" - SEASON FINALE
WASHINGTON (AP) _ Tonight's season finale of "The Shield" is
also the last episode for Glenn Close. She only signed up for one
season. Michael Pena says he'll miss being bossed around by Close.
He says he learned a lot working with "an icon." Pena says like
anyone who's at the top of their game, Close made it look easy. He
says what Michael Jordan did with a jumpshot, Close did with
dialogue.

I'm not convinced of Monica leaving. My guess is Aceveda. He's got too much stress and pressure on him, especially if Mitchell gets thrown back into the slammer (assuming that Antwan knocks off the guy who Aceveda "serviced").
On the other hand, how long can a cable tv show keep such a talented actress as Glenn Close? Maybe she is one and done.
I agree that last night's show was tremendous, especially the last 20 mins. or so. I can't get enough of this show. It's like a drug; you Jones for it when it's not available, but feel satisfied when you get your weekly fix.

Thank you to those who did and do serve and defend us all over the world. We wouldn't be able to take a few minutes to type a message on the Internet if not for your sacrifices for us.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) _ The N-F-L has some questions for the
Washington Redskins.
The league and the players' union say they're investigating
Redskins offseason practices to find if there were one-on-one
drills between offensive and defensive linemen that the union says
are forbidden.
There's a prohibition against "live contact."
Union chief Gene Upshaw says they learned of the drills from the
team's Web site.
Coach Joe Gibbs says the team has turned over tapes of its
practices to the league for review. If there's a violation, the
Redskins could lose some of their offseason practice days.
Gibbs says he thinks the Redskins are well within the rules.
Tackle Chris Samuels says the drills are for working on hand
placement and technique, but aren't used to drive guys to the
ground.

Those blue jerseys look really nice. I'm in the market for a new jersey (tossed my road Bledsoe to a friend who's a Cowboys fan) and if the price is right, I'm getting a McGahee, I think.

One of the few bright spots on an otherwise awful Illinois football team the last two years.
I'm not sure, but I think he started all the games last year, too. Injuries haven't been a concern.
It seems that despite having Ron Turner as a coach, several Illinois football players have made it to the NFL the last few years: Marques Sullivan, Eugene Wilson, Christian Morton, Greg Lewis, etc.

how will the they manage to sieze a church building? Opens a whole new can of worms.
Maybe if they seizethe church it becomes an offspring of the Barn, the old church that's now Farmington HQ?

I've never been one to watch many great sitcoms or dramas on TV through the years (NYPD Blue, Seinfeld, etc.), but The Shield's a different story.
A co-worker let me borrrow the Season One DVD's and I've been hooked the last few seasons.
I, too, wonder when Acevedo will fall and when they'll finally get Antwon Mitchell. They always seem to keep the show fresh and keep me guessing at what will happen next.

Congratulations and good luck. My wife and I are going to our first ultrasound tomorrow. Mrs. Champaign is expecting our first child(ren?) this November.

John's not alone... I've never been to Buffalo....yet. If you must, you may revoke my posting privileges as well.

He was at the Illinois-Wisconsin basketball game last night. They introduced him during one of the timeouts in the first half. He got a standing ovation. I wish I could have tracked him down after the game, there's a lot of questions I would have asked him.

After David Byrne left, I believe the remaining members of Talking Heads put out an album; No Talk, Just Heads (?).
