After I read that, nothing else matters.

Kate looks so much better going sans makeup...same with Libby. And I have to say that I thought Claire's performance was pretty over the top last night...just a touch of overacting. I wonder who knocked up Sun...and don't look at me! I was too busy with the ranch dressing!

Gee...hot water and bodily fluids mixing together?!? Mmmm...there's nice soup for you. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060302/hl_nm/whirlpool_risk_dc Whirlpool baths: enter at your own risk By Megan Rauscher Thu Mar 2, 10:46 AM ET NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Better think twice before soothing those aching muscles in a whirlpool bath or hot tub. A new study shows that whirlpool bathtubs can be a breeding ground for a host of disease-causing bacteria. Dr. Rita B. Moyes a microbiologist at Texas A & M University tested 43 water samples from both private and public whirlpool bathtubs. "Every tub tested had some kind of microbial growth," she told Reuters Health. "And I was just getting the few organisms I was testing for, so it is probably just the tip of the iceberg as far as what is really present. Also, I did no viral testing," Moyes emphasized. In 95 percent of the tubs, bacteria derived from feces were present, while 81 percent had fungi and 34 percent contained potentially deadly staphylococcus bacteria. Moyes explained that a teaspoon of normal tap water contains about 138 bacteria and many samples are bacteria-free. A teaspoon of whirlpool tub water, on the other hand, contains an average of more than 2 million bacteria. The interior pipes of whirlpool baths that are not filtered or chemically treated, and non-maintained hot tubs, are prime areas for potentially infectious microbes to congregate and grow, Moyes noted. These organisms often form a biofilm - a community of organisms, which work together and are more resistant to cleaners. When the jets are switched on, the bacteria-packed water gets blown into the tub. "Due to the movement of the water, an aerosol is created that carries these organisms down into your lungs or other orifices - something that doesn't happen in a regular tub," Moyes explained. The bacteria found in whirlpool baths can lead to a number of diseases, including urinary tract infections, skin infections, and pneumonia. So who is most at risk? "Of course the young and the old and the immunocompromised should not be exposed, including breathing in the aerosol from outside the tub," Moyes said. "A chemically maintained hot tub should not be a problem to a healthy person but if you are having recurring infections, consider the tub as a potential source," she added. Moyes' research is published in an online journal called PM Engineer.

Oops...sorry already posted.

Since the team took the whole season for him last year... Titans | Team reaches new deal with Henry Thu, 2 Mar 2006 06:17:16 -0800 Jim Wyatt, of the Tennessean, reports the Tennessee Titans agreed to terms on a restructured contract for RB Travis Henry Wednesday evening, March 1, according to the player's agent, Hadley Engelhard. The Titans avoided paying the $4 million option Henry was scheduled to collect as the veteran agreed to a multiyear, incentive-laden deal. "Travis is bending over backwards to make this work because he really believes in the Titans," Engelhard said. "Based on what happened last year he wants to show the Titans what he is all about."

Wow...where is everyone? A good episode that of course filled in some missing information...and left us with a lot more questions. Don't have too much more to say tonight...will over up some thoughts in the morning. Now I go to bed thinking of the scene where Claire, Kate and Libby are walking on the beach.

Get 'er done Marv!

My yes vote relates entirely to the fact that we will be weak at the position should he and Reed move on.

No freaking way.

This may just be posturing on the part of the Jets to help them in their contract renegotiations with Pennington.

I miss the 90's cause we didn't suck.

It sounded like a lockdown of the hatch was beginning, with something large spinning. I think something associated with the electromagnetic theory...

I knew that someone else would do all the hard work while I was sleeping.

We really need help dude.

Those symbols are hieroglyphs. There were five, though we were only show the first and the last three. I'm trying to find a translator website. I was able so far to determine that the first symbol represents "S" while the fourth symbol can represent either "T" or "3." The third symbol resembles a candle, while the last one looks like the letter Y, with the bottom pointing towards the northwest.

Sayid is a very very bad man...

I swear I could read a Chuck Norris list every day and always laugh my ass off.

Jets | Cox hired as assistant coach Sun, 12 Feb 2006 06:09:51 -0800 The Star-Ledger reports the New York Jets have hired Bryan Cox as their new assistant defensive line coach. Cox will assist defensive line coach Denny Marcin. http://www.kffl.com/hotw/NFL Can we still flip him off when he comes to the Ralph?

We're up to about 2 feet of snow here just north of NYC, and it's still coming down. Ahhhhh...it's just like a good helping of home cooking.

Uh oh...time to bring out the Zamboni.

And it looks like they're finally going to let the clock run down. About damn time!

Dude...that was the big thing I took from this episode. And did you see the look in Sayid's eyes...I think he gets it too.
