apparently, spelling is left out of the circulum in Arizona schools...

TH will fit right in then, right?

'Buffalo Bills starting quarterback, J.P. Losman, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Buffalo Bisons 2005 Home Opener: Thursday, April 7 at 4:05 p.m. against the Richmond Braves.'
Doesn't he have a clue? Letting the franchise QB throw pitch at a minor league baseball game is probably the dumbest thing he has done in his tenure in Buffalo. If JP tears his rotating cup I will hold TD personally responsible!
Or worse yet, he could tear his rotator cuff

People hate when I post this, but sometimes the truth hurts.
Backup yoru data and reinstall Windows. I'm guessing it's been a long time (well over a year) since you first got the PC. Reinstalling will not only clean out a ton of gunk, it will give you a 10-20% performance increase.

I re-install my OS every 12-18 months, and it makes such a difference. I highly recommend it!

did this just go into effect today?
because an indian who works on my floor (first name is mohammed and doesn't have a green card) travelled to toronto and back with his family without being asked to show his passport...he said he was surprised and was initially worried about crossing the border
The article says by 2008, the passport will be required. I still think that they're bluffing. I know you all are talking about the canadian ballet, but in my line of work (church youth ministry) this would make things difficult for me -- imagine trying to make sure that my teens all have paid for, applied for, and received their passports before planning a day trip to Toronto to do the CN Tower and Medieval Times (like we are doing in June). Then if everyone has a passport, I need to make sure that everyone actually brings it with them. That process is not a big deal for an overseas mission trip as I've done in the past, but for a day trip? I don't think it'll happen.

no news of that on the US State Dept website as of yet ...
they've been threatening that for years

"I was sure that they'd call Pass Interference in the end zone, they did it that one time against Henry Jones, oh, wait ... that went against the Bills ..."

You have hit the nail on the head. You will notice that all of the kids that go on murderous rampages were targets of endless teasing by other and the kid saw no other escape from the torment.
Change the tolerance to teasing and this phenom will go away. And by change the tolerance to teasing I mean do not tolerate it in any way shape or form. Each kid has right to go to school without beaing harassed by some idiot.
But tolerance is the catch word for the new millenium. Everything must be tolerated. Everything except a biblical worldview, ... oh wait, if we had a biblical worldview, we would not tolerate teasing and the like ...

In Niger, they use the Communauté Financière Africaine Franc
In Nigerian, they use the Nairas
To further distance the two, they are not linked in their trading. They are totally separate currencies, and before now, no one here knew the name of either one -- not widely used as is the dollar, yen or euro

Going further with this religios theme, is Jacks father not named CHRISTIAN Shepard.
Also, got his idea for the significance of the numbers from another board.
Enetr the numbers in order fro Latitude and Longitude, and what do ya know, Nigeria pops up on the map.

I was with you, but the numbers bring up the border between Niger and Mali. Nigeria is another country to the sout of Niger -- still intriguing though.

I think I get what you are saying (that Locke didn't have a choice...Boone was going to get hurt either way?)...
But I'm not sure that would work (if that's what you are saying). Only because the island (according to the dream) gave him a choice, either keep going or end up in the chair. So, Locke had the power to prevent Boone from being injured. If he decided not to pursue the "hatch" any more, Boone wouldn't have been bloodied but Locke would have lost the use of his legs.
Except he began to lose the use of his legs while pursuing the lead of the island. I don't see it fitting.

Actually, the writers have been saying that a major character's going to die toward the end of the season (not necessarily the finale) all along to anyone who'll listen. It doesn't give away anything. Just makes you wonder who it is and gets you asking yourself lots of questions to keep it in your head, and that's a great thing about the show. There's been a lot of smaller clues as to who it is and why they die, but I'd say it's not necessarily Boone. Jack looked determined in the preview for next week, and we all know what Jack can do when he's determined. Part of the whole Jack Shepard=looking after his flock=Christ reading I've been getting is that he raised Charlie from the dead = Lazarus.
I suppose that the supposition that Locke sacrificed Boone might be Abraham and Isaac, if I recall (I dare not pick up a Bible b/c I'd burst into flame
)?If Locke/Boone = Abraham/Isaac, then the writers missed big time. Abraham never causes harm on Isaac in the Genesis account. He is willing, but never hurts him.

My wife & I thought that he would be paralyzed by the operation. Locke mentions that his back is shaved ... they take out kidneys now from the front, we thought it was going to be an operation mistake. But, we missed that ....

You're kidding, right?
95% of NFL contracts never see the numbers that get published in large headlines in the paper. "BRUSCHI SIGNS 7 YEAR, $50 MILLION CONTRACT" would have ensured that he'd be cut after year 3, 4, 5, whatever it was (See Bledsoe, Drew and in the future, Milloy, Lawyer). He "didn't make a lot of money"?? Check the numbers. Bruschi pocketed over $2m last year. His bonus was also over $2m. I think that might qualify as a 'lot of money'. Take into account he's with the model franchise in pro sports, he makes countless more in endorsements in the Boston area, and the fact that he might just enjoy playing where he plays and enjoys living where he lives, and I'm sure he's much happier with his situation than a guy like Takeo Spikes might be in his.
Just sayin'.
I'm guessing gettting cut after 3 years of a 7 year/$50 Million contract would still net him a lot more than what he has netted in his current contract. Sure, there is less stability, but if we're talking purely about cash, big deals have more guaranteed money in them. Period.
-
The mind boggling thing that caught my eye was the salary that Brusci is set to earn: $850K for the heart and soul of their defense, and possibly their team? That's a better deal than THen would have been, even if WM never set foot on the field.
Just watch the Patsie force him to retire to get out of paying that next to nothing amount, instead of placing him on PUP and giving him a thank you for this year.
-
oh yeah, I'll take TH's word on whether or not there is a viable trade on the table. THen has truly proven to me that he is trustworthy, forthright and honest.

Not to jump into the discussion about terrorism, but ....
I have bought a ticket to ride in a small aircraft of this nature. I would have been upset if the dude sitting next to me (my grandfather) had decided that he wanted to make a statement by holding a gun to the pilot's head and crashing the plane. BTW, there is no screening/security process for small craft.

if she's good enough, sure. It's not like women's golf where the tees are closer to the hole.

We have someone (her husband) saying she told him she wanted to die if she were in such a state. We have no one saying they heard her say she'd want to be kept alive. The parents need to stop being selfish and let go. The feeding tube is what's keeping her alive, because without it she'd die. She has no quality if life. Sometimes no life is better than "living."
The problem with everyone weighing in on this in terms of saying that we're keeping her alive is this:
a feeding tube is NOT extraordinary means to keep someone alive.
I hope you have more loving spouses when you have to undergo surgery some day. What she receives is equivalent to the saline drip that you receive after surgery for a couple days until your stomach is ready to receive food -- except that includes more nurtrients than your drip. How'd you like to be disallowed the drip after surgery because your wife/husband says that you didn't want to use extraordinary means to extend your life? Yeah, that's what I thought.

This seems to come pretty close to Johnny Playfair's dead grandma on Survivor for premeditated strategy -- not fair, not honest, but quite a strategy

Why has our country gotten to the point where everyone feels that a wrongful act committed in your direction entitles you to money? The point of criminal justice is to change the criminal and help the victim. Does money help here? No. Maybe a couple of sessions with a helpful child psychologist or counselor (pastor, maybe?) would help the poor girl. It was humiliating, she could use a hand over it. Money only helps Mom (& Dad, if there is one) forget it ever happened. Our legal system sometimes amounts to legalized blackmail.
Discipline the teacher according to what is reasonable. Should a person be blackballed out of their profession for a momentary lapse in judgment? No. What about if it indicates a long standing method of operating? Well, then find a new line of work.
These kinds of lawsuits are what make people like John Edwards have enough money to run for congress and VP, and trash our medical system causing insurance rates to go through the ceiling (not to mention the stratosphere).
