Are they supposed to be paired couples comepeting together or against each other?
From what I've read, the returning players will be on one tribe playing against their loved ones to start the game. Should make the post merge game much more interesting.
Also be interesting to see if the three returning players who already won a million dollars and their loved ones are targeted first.

thank you so much for this response....is there any damage that can be caused from this clog?
If the rest of the underground system on your property is working properly, the water should just come out the bubbler near the curb.

I have a question that I know nothing about....I live in a development and out by the road I have two vent pipes on the opposite sides of my lot....the one is clear and dry and the other is filled with water...It looks like these are pipes that drain water from the house into the sewer system.....why might the one be filled with water....someone brought this to my attention and didn't know what was wrong but knew that it shouldn't be filled with water....When we had our pool put in a year and half ago the equipment ran over the top of this vent and a bunch if rocks and mud got down in there....is it possible the drain got clogged that dumps into the sewer and as a result is flowing up over the top....Who would I call?
In both Amherst and the Town of Tonawanda, these drainage systems take the gutter water from the house, out to the storm sewer that runs underneath the street. The vents near the curb are there to allow the rain water coming from the house a place to go when the storm sewer is too full to take the water, or just can't take if quickly enough. These are commonly called bubblers, as the water bubbles out of them when the sewer is full. Commonly, there are leaves, tree, roots, mud, etc. that can clog up the pipe. I was able to use a shop vac to clean out the water from the pipe, and then tried using a snake to get through to the sewer. This didn't help, so I called the town of Amherst. They sent out a truck that cleans out the connection via water pressure. It worked fine for about six months, and then was filling up with water again. I called again, and they replaced the vent and connection to the sewer, as it was their responsibility. It was pretty much plugged solid with mud.
Best thing to do would be to call the town and see who is responsible for it.

Another version for George Lucas to trickle-release, in the hopes that the cult-obsessed will buy one each of the VHS... the remastered VHS... the DVDs... the remastered DVDs... the Special edition DVDs... the Blu-ray (I think next year?)... the Special edition Blu-ray... the 3-D DVD... then the 3-D Blu-ray. Never-ending business from one movie series.
The only somewhat redeeming quality about the movies coming out in the theater is that I'll be able to take my kids (currently age 5 & 3) to see the bastardized versions of episodes 4-6 on the big screen.

Thanks. I looked last week. Tho, looking for anything on the EW page is weird. Sometimes, an article will be in the "MOST VIEWED ON EW" column on the right, and will not be listed when you click the "LOST" heading.... Right now, the part 1 to this latest string of the 'Island as Carrie' is not there.
I found both part 1 and part 2 by clicking on his name in the by line. It lists all his articles starting with the most recent.
-
Still waiting for Doc's Part 2 of his final, final LOST thoughts that was promised in this column (that duey linked here) a couple of weeks ago.
It was up on July 3rd. And in two weeks, he will post Part 3.

We felt it across the street from the airport. My wife felt it in Amherst.

To get the 296, I took the 8x6x18 and took one off each dimension. After I posted, I realized I should have taken two off each dimension. Figure out how many AREN'T touching (i.e., use each dimension minus two to determine it's volume) then subtract that from 864.
BillsFanInTexas, I think you are counting some of the cubes two or three times.
-
269?
Edit:
That's wrong. Gotta be 864-(6*4*16)=480

Very nice catch...and remember, MIB said that he's been looking for the cave of light for a very long time and was never able to find it.
I don't think anyone can find it unless accompanied by the current protector.

The ash they used to spread to keep smokey away. Do we know what that was or where it came from? Why it was so powerful?
I'm guessing it's ashes from the banyan trees. In the first episode, the smoke monster wouldn't follow Jack, Kate, and Charlie into the banyan trees. There are several other examples in the Lostepidia entry for The Man in Black under the Banyan trees section. The trees appear to be Smokey's Kryptonite. Garlic and holy water for vampires, fire for Frankenstein's monster, silver for werewolves. Every monster has it's weakness.

I have a feeling that the first body he's in isn't going to be a factor. But another question is, why can't he change bodies anymore?
From Lostepdia: The Man in Black:
"According to Ilana in 2007 following Jacob's death, the Man in Black is now unable to use anything but his Locke and Monster forms."
Might be one of the "rules" that Jacob mentions to the Man in Black while on the beach in last season's finale.

good catch!!
I remember thinking (at the time) that Sawyer was going to con poor Hurley. Little did we know Sawyer was on the other side of the law.
-
what hazed said. it was mentioned that it was his love for chicken which drove him to open his first restaurant, and then he franchised from there. no lottery. no numbers.
He did win the lottery, Hurley mentioned it to Sawyer in this season's season opener on the "sideways" Flight 815.
From Lostepidia: Episode LAX Part 1:
"Leslie Arzt is pestering Hugo Reyes to do an impression of a character in his Mr. Cluck's commercial. Arzt finds it hysterical, then asks how a guy like him came to own a major corporation like Mr. Cluck's. Hurley replies that he won the lottery and happens to like chicken, leading a downcast Arzt to quickly excuse himself. Sawyer warns Hurley not to share his lottery win with strangers, saying it will make them try to take advantage of him, but Hurley brushes it off: can't happen, because he's the luckiest man alive. "

Am I the only one that recognized the principal as the guy Desmond replaced as the button pusher?
Two totally different actors and characters. The principal was played by William Atherton (of Ghostbusters and Real Genius fame), while the button pusher, Kelvin Inman, was played by Clancy Brown (of The Highlander and Earth 2).

Thank you for the birthday wishes.

The stadium has been the site of previous accidents, including the 2008 death of an electrician who came into contact with a high-voltage line.
The electrician was my cousin, a displaced Buffalonian and die-hard Bills fan.
-
I'm guessing that Ben lives because Jack is there to do surgery.
Either that or young Ben needs blood, and the only viable donor is either Kate, Hurley, or Jack.

Thank you.

The idea about a gift card is great... Yet, I suppose they would go with out the newborn or use take-out? I think our children were about 4-6 months before we brought them into a public establishment. Not that I am a germ freak or anything... When they are so new, I just wouldn't expose them too much in public places... Especially places where you dine.
D'oh! Sorry, forgot to mention the take-out part in conjunction with the gift cards. Definitely don't want to drag a newborn out if you don't have to. You can also include the restaurant's take out menu along with the gift card to keep it as simple as possible for them.

My sister is giving birth to my first niece or nephew this week in Syracuse and I am stumped about what congratulatory gifts a can present to them later on this week. I was thinking about the box of cigars for my brother-in-law, but haven't thought of anything yet for my sister.
Any suggestions from those with experience with this type of situation?
The best gift my wife and I got when our children were born were gift cards to a local chain restaurants, such as Outback and Appleby's ... not having to worry about cooking a meal every night when you have a newborn can be a godsend.

Didn't see this anywhere on the board, so I thought I'd post it.
I heard this being discussed on WGR this morning, and now there is an interview with sportswriter Jim Kelley on WBEN. While Kelley says it's still rumor and speculation, he says with regard to the sale of the Bruins "that where there's smoke, there's fire" and that Jacobs was one of the people initially interested in owning the expansion Cleveland Browns.

No Canadian channels? I'd go through HNiC withdrawals.
No CBC, CTV, MSNBC, or Sabres in HD (I just called, and a Verizon operator said "I think the local NHL broadcasts are on Fox, which we have in HD"
).Although, Verizon FIOS is sponsoring this weekend's Buffalo Sabres Puckdrop 2008 (with an open practice, unveiling jerseys, ticket sales, etc.), so I'm guessing the Sabres will be in HD on FIOS TV somehow.

What are the relative costs?
I don't have my spreadsheet with me, but the savings was negligible (less than $10/month) to switch.
Singletary Update??

The team hosted the annual Bills’ Rookie Flag Football clinic yesterday, where kids from local NFL sponsored flag football leagues do various drills with the Bills’ rookie players. Singletary was out on the field with the kids. He didn’t appear to have any issues walking and running around, and even jumped a couple of times to catch an errant pass. I would think if the injury was serious, the team would not have allowed him to participate.
