I think they may have taken a cue from the NCAA Tournament selection show this year 'round now that it is a major event for the NFL Network. There probably won't be any leaks. My bad, Rich. But the same way I wouldn't waste one hour of my life, I wouldn't waste two doing the same thing. There's five months 'til the real games start to digest the sched.

The discussion just goes on and on in there, doesn't really matter that it was created last week. PIZ, I've never deleted a thread I started (haven't started one since the feature was added); you might try deleting the original (first) message you posted. I just don't want to wear out the welcome with Lost threads.

Marry this girl! But teach her to go to a local beef farmer --- much cheaper, no chance of preservatives, etc., and you support the local economy.

We'd enjoy your company in the other Lost thread, where this puzzler is a topic. I'm seeing conflicting things. So as not to make discussion too much of a nuisance to the other TBDers, you might delete this thread or the mods can merge it.

When he was at the toy store he was a fairly young man, had hair and it was pre-however-accident. At the box company/office, he was bald like he is now and I believe he was in the wheelchair, going with the 4-year timeframe, altho I forget if it shows it. He plays the 'war' game (someone he's probably paying) and chats w/ the phone sex(?) girl as if she's his daughter or something. It's a way of showing that his life is very devoid of tangible other people; maybe after the kidney transplant fiasco, he decided not to trust or get too close to other people. The most recent flashback shown of him was in the safari office. And even tho it is written week-to-week, there are no (glaring) flubs in this show. There's going to be a kind of rehash episode soon that has all of the flashbacks for each character in order. And still, the previews for the ep where Jack & Sayid go after Locke are being shown with "Wednesday" and one that was just on said "Tonight." I don't know what's going on....

Or are they going to do it week-by-week and talk for 15 minutes about what match-ups are best even tho at this point, they're completely talking out of their arses? I'd just check here at 3 and save an hour of your life.

The Great Karnak predicts that they start with the NFC and that the AFC East schedules will be the last to be shown.

I'm one who doesn't assume that people are stupid, especially when it comes to salary, tho I do volunteer that many people are mememememe rather than seeing the big picture. We live insulated lives in that regard. What would be nice in theory is if every NFL, NHL, MLB hotshot had to work as a convenience store clerk for a few years like Kurt Warner did (his head got filled back up pretty quickly tho). Or get a real job based on what they can do other than throw catch or kick an air-filled ball. Might change their tune really fast.

My dad knows a guy who, last he knew about 10 years ago, had been in college for over 30 years. Name is Roland Houle. His father, a doctor, told him as long as he was in college, he'd pay for it. So, he became a professional student. Unbelievable.

For states that have passed the legislation making it legal to refuse, the only application of the "conscientious objector pharmacist" that ultimately will be economically viable is a mom-and-pop pharmacy, and those are a dying breed anyway. I'm sure large and small chains will draft policies requiring that someone will be there to fill the scrip at all times. You can't cut off half of your market because of politics and boycotts and expect to be in business for long. Either that, or doctors and hospitals stock it and cut out the middleman. It's very stupid not to stock morning-after pills. To point out, they're used for a number of treatments. Such as for a woman who had suffered a miscarriage. Cramping. Menopause symptoms. Certain types of cancer. Look it up.

That was tossed in like it actually means something. Yeah, NC is a great CB, and TD should ante up to keep him; I'm not arguing about that. But this is a team where Troy Vincent was the first safety to get an interception for the first time in about three years in the Browns game. Which just gives further proof that losing Clements would be devastating to the secondary.

Dress like a college student when you're going on a flight. Sandals, sweatpants/windpants, T-Shirt. Then change clothes when you get to your destination. Saves a lot of hassle. And, a fire extinguisher is a pretty useful odd-job weapon. That stuff is cold, jars you for a few seconds, nevermind if you get it in your face. And they're marked out for easy access. If you put enough thought into it, anything can be a weapon.

Osama makes a note to his minions: 1.Wear colors --- pinks, blues and oranges! 2. Buy Ralph Loren knapsacks and an LL Bean totes, but never two of the same!"

Not such a good day for analogies, huh? Even tho my mention of a phone was to show how a prescription was received for the simple fact that people actually do still use paper prescriptions, rather than the phone physically giving a patient RU-486, etc. But whatever. WingNut needed to get to class.... Good points. Pharmacists legally can't tell you what brand of cough medicine is good, unless you ask them to recommend one, but they can reverse a doctor's course of treatment. If you don't want to do the job, the whole job, and nothing but the job, then find another line of work.

To be clear, "Bernard Cardinal Law" has neither been accused of or charged w/ molestation or sexual assault. He has been accused of knowingly shuffling now-convicted pedophile priests around the country from the Pervert's Paradise that is the Boston Archdiosece. The only reason he hasn't been charged is b/c the state can't subpoena church records (in the off chance they weren't used to make the dots on Ash Wednesday) just like a priest can't be forced to testify about a confession. Is that better or worse?

I don't think I could keep a straight face if Willis says "I do everything in my BVDs!" to counter MJ's Hanes ads.

The street?

Linguity?

I guess it's also the contractor's decision to use mortar between the bricks or not. Or to make his workers wear hard-hats or not (even tho in the time I was in the trade, it was with objects where the helmet was wearing you for protection). Shouldn't be surprised when his/her license is revoked tho. I've never had a prescription telephoned into a pharmacy. Saying everyone uses the phone is like saying everyone uses the Laserdisc. And the issue here is that the pharm took the written prescription and refused to return it. If moral/religious concsience excludes a pharm. from doing their job, then the employer should be able to ask that in the job application. Sure, you can believe what you want, but just like the freedom to jump off the roof and fly, there are consequences to freedom of speech. For stores like CVS, Rite-Aid, etc. the pharmacist does not own the store. And additionally, he or she works as a pharm at the liscensure of the state who oversee that customers are served equally across the state rather than the rogue pharmacists who are dictators behind the Sudafed aisle; same principle as common law. This is the law whether you call it "communist" or not.

The Buffalo/WNY accent is near impossible to nail down unless you're from the area. It's not like there's one definitive WNY accent, like the Joisey pinched-nose one. Mix among Polish, Italian, spattering of Dutch.... They've done a lot of finagling of the cast from what it was originally going to be. Charlie was going to be an over-the-hill rock star, Jack was going to be killed off in the pilot.... It's worked for the best. Just saw that the EW cover & article is actually in issue #815. And to clear up, there are no "new" eps until 4 May. There's a refresher special that has the flashbacks played in order on 27 April.

And when the pharmacist refuses to give back the prescription? B/c those are the most recent marching orders and why these cases are coming up. They know if if they can delay for 72 hours, their beliefs are foisted onto others, yippeeeeee! If they can't stand "doing harm" they should seek another profession. Health care of the body human is all about robbing Peter to pay Paul. See: chemotherapy as only the most obvious example. Houston Chronicle op-ed.

That's just a weird construction. Might be interesting to find out why they have it like that. Is it a Northeast thing? or U.S.? They don't write 'Jaime Cardinal Sin' here.... And might I just comment, you can't make this stuff up.

I didn't write that JPII facilitated abuse; the paragraph was about Law. Go back and read again. That said, sorry, but anything less than the pope ordering that Law and the pertinent records be turned over to the authorities doesn't cast a good light on JPII. And however you describe it, the fact that Law took a fast plane to Vatican City, is still seen (in NE especially) that he was invited into the pope's city to be protected from the public outcry and possible prosecution. (Again, look through history and you'll see many a case where a leader who was exalted for doing something great in one area especially, also did (or in this case, failed to do) something not-so-great in that same area. Some people call it ironic when these things happen. I don't know what I call it, but it's definitely not a peachy-keen ).

Utilitarian ethics at its finest, don't you know.... I don't think that theory is right. Locke isn't a good guy, but he's probably not ultimately going to be as bad a guy as a lot of people are thinking he is (including me). Actually, the show is written week to week. And sometimes, day to day. When it was the hit it's turned out to be, I think Abrams' previous bible for the show turned into Genesis. It was originally designed for one season, and now JJA is talking six. The preview on TV said Wednesday. So I would assume that means this Wednesday. Altho the episode guide on TvTome said no new eps 'til May. So I can't make heads or tails of it.

Uhmm, mayhaps you can put it in yellow font? Please and thank you. And for the record, the preview says very clearly that the radio transmission Boone got back was "We're the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815." Sounds like Rose may not have been full o' sh--, but how did she know? It also shows Locke making a contortion as if he's been shot but there's no discernable wound that I can see....
