"Instead, we learned that rather than being some some kind of alternate-timeline, the flashes sideways were glimpes of a kind of limbo between life and death. In their deaths - some on the island, some much, much later - they were all pulled together to move on to the afterlife. The people that meant most to them during their lives would be there with them as they moved on to the next... more... - RAPatton

"There were some genuinely moving touches, Ben remained outside the gathering, not quite ready to leave his own personal purgatory and forgive himself for his sins. Yet Locke did offer him gratefully accepted forgiveness and Hurley, who invited Ben into the gathering said he was a "good number two", with Ben telling Hurley he was a "great number one". We were left to assume that the two men acted as protectors of the island for some time." - RAPatton

"It ended as it had begun with Jack lying in the same bamboo forest in which we first met him in episode one. Back then Jack opened his eyes for the first time on the island, this time around he closed them for the last." - RAPatton

But what about all the other characters that weren't in the church? Were they just not important enough to those people's lives? - James Ferguson

Yes, for this group of people this is what mattered, which was tipped off a bit in the discussion Desmond had with Farady's mom. They may not have even been "real," but constructs of the Losties own private purgatory. - RAPatton

pretty much james. or left in purgatory, like Michael. - Carlos Ayala

one thing i didnt consider was the Hurley/Ben/Protect the Island story and its timeframe afterwards. I think that the article nailed it. - Carlos Ayala

Yeah, that was important as part of the idea that the purgatory isn't based on time and that flash sideways purgatory existing in synch with reality was an illusion. Ben, Hugo and the guys on the plane all died much later than Jack and Locke died much earlier. As an afterlife, it was full of love, which I think was part of the point. It was very much a romantic finale and the final scene was filled with light. The island itself seemed like Pandora's box metaphor, but instead of Hope remaining it was love - RAPatton

in the office this is what we used as a guideline for the show: http://2012forum.com/forum... read Maranatha's posts. This is the most intelligent breakdown and explanation for the show that I've seen on the net. Enjoy. - Carlos Ayala

Sriracha on macaroni and cheese is killer. - Akiva

i regularly pour a large amount of picante sauce into mine. not to mention melting in a bunch of extra cheddar beforehand. - Joe The Sausage

oh believe me, there is no lack of cheddar in my mac and cheese. ever. I used Crystal tonight, but definitely want to try sriracha next time. - holly #ravingfangirl

i like medium Pace picante and sharp cheddar in mine. sriracha is a bit too far for me. - Joe The Sausage

the top layer of my mac & cheese is usually pepper jack, adds a nice bit o heat to it too. - Starmama

Go easy on the sriracha. It'll overwhelm the macaroni and cheese otherwise. - Akiva

I can see that - duly noted! - holly #ravingfangirl

Crystal is perfect with it. I always put it on after, though, never baked it in. - Laura Norvig

Oh G-D David, *I* don't know what I mean :D - Pete

but you know if mac and cheese were a euphemism for hot lovin', it'd be difficult for the lactose intolerant... or something. I'll get me coat. - Pete

Ohhhhhh yeah...[continues charade of hipness] - David Rothman (☤)

But seriously, what is it with mac and cheese? It's just pasta and cheese, yes? How many variations can there be? - Pete

I love the Britax. The only diff between the Marathon and Boulevard is that the Boulevard has side impact protection. BUT, remember that car seats have expiration dates and I think Britaxes expire after 5 years. I'd suggest getting a bucket car seat first (those things are great) and then getting a Britax when it's outgrown; that way the child can hopefully stay in it longer. - Lis

+1 for the Britax Boulevard, as long as you have a big enough car. Those seats are *huge*, but they feel like overkill at <12mos or so. Go rear facing with any seat for as long as you (and your kid) can tolerate it, as it's safer. - Steve and 3 other people

I have the Britax Boulevard CS, but it's not installed yet! We have been using an infant car seat, and will continue to until 22lbs. If you can afford it, really think about getting both. I never realized how great the infant ones are (Graco). Penny can be asleep in the car and I just unsnap the carseat from the base and bring her inside. It's one of the items on my baby must have list. - Georgia

Oh, and the Britax Boulevard CS is very nice. Very soft, seems like it will be comfy, and I like how Penny can use the side impact things as a pillow. - Georgia

We have a Britax Boulevard as well. Expensive but very nice. For the first year or so we used one of those rear-facing seats that doubled as the seat for the stroller. That worked quite well. - ronin

Anyone having Britax Marathon or Evenflo Symphony Sure-Latch All-In-One? - Bee

Never had an Evenflo symphony, but I have had several other Evenflo carseats and I really liked the quality and value. - Laura Norvig

The little boy I took care of for two years had a Marathon and I LOVED IT. Easiest to install both with latch or with seatbelt, straps never twisted and it'll last him for a long time. Bee - All-In-Ones are generally not recommended because of the expiration date and the fact that the kid generally outgrows the harness height before they're ready for a booster. Another good one is the Evenflo Triumph Advance - the NEW model. It holds up to 55 lbs and has a high harness height. - Lis

That is so awesome. - Yolanda

Ok looks like the best advice is to have a partition for the OS and one for data but whats the best size for the windows partition? Another question I have is how do I move the Users, Program Files, and programData folders to the 2nd partition? - BRҰANSAҰS

I tried following the instructions on this site http://tuts4tech.net/2009... I then rebooted only to get an error that the user data was no longer there. - BRҰANSAҰS

Those are interesting instructions and certainly better than the way I used to do it: create and log in to your account; create a dummy administrator account; log out and log into that administrator account; move your account files, modify the registry to point to the new locations; log out and log in to your account; delete the dummy administrator account. It was a pain but it worked. - Akiva

Akiva when I changed the registry to "D:\Program Files" I would reboot and it reset itself to "X:\Program Files" have you seen that before? - BRҰANSAҰS

Not really. User data is stored in the Users folder on the system drive, so it's much easier to use a single huge partition. The whole point of separate system drive is to do clean reinstall of Windows on a formatted drive without losing the data. But W7 doesn't require reinstalling every year, as XP did :) - Kirill Petrovsky

Kirill, it's not just about that: it's just good practice. UNIX systems have recommended keeping the users directory on a second drive (or partition) since the dawn of time. - Akiva

Bryan, I've never seen that happen. Honestly, though, I eventually gave up doing what you're trying to do. Some poorly-written installers (Steam, for example) don't use the proper hook to detect free space on the target directory and instead return the free space of your system drive which can cause it to refuse the installation. I've also encountered a few programs that mysteriously... more... - Akiva

Akiva I might just leave Users on the OS partition and try moving the Program Files. I've never tried this before but I thought it would be neat if it works. - BRҰANSAҰS

Does anyone know a good FREE tool for changing partition sizes? - BRҰANSAҰS

I would recommend leaving Program Files where it is, too, and just having another on your second partition. - Akiva

2nd Akiva. Moving your Program Files won't really help. Should you need to reload your system you will still need to reinstall all of your programs either way so there isn't much advantage. I used to keep my profile stored on another drive, but now that I'm backing up constantly, I don't see the need to do so any longer. - Matt Hilton

Bryan try http://gparted.sourceforge.net/. Bootable Linux CD that will allow you to manipulate partitions. - Matt Hilton

Thanks Akiva and Matt. I'll keep it where it is. I only made the OS drive 50GB and just worried about filling it up too fast with programs. Do you guys just manually tell windows to install programs on the second partition? - BRҰANSAҰS

Yep. You can usually choose the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' Install options and then point it where you want the install to go. - Akiva

I actually don't tell it to install my programs to another partition, but you should be able to as Akiva described to change the installation drive. - Matt Hilton

Installing "programs" on the other partition never works out for the main purpose of doing it: easing reinstalls and upgrades without having to reinstall all the applications. Things like the registry are still stored on the "OS" partition. Putting all your "data" on the other partition seems to work okay, but you risk having to mess with NTFS permissions on a reinstall. Admittedly, I... more... - Andy Bakun

One big partition has always worked best for me. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I prefer one big partition to a bunch of little ones. It's much easier to find what you are looking for. I don't see much benefit to segregating the OS. If you are worried about backup and restore of your OS , two suggestions: Make sure system restore is on, and do a full backup image of your HD onto an external drive using Acronos True image or Norton Ghost or any number of other drive imaging programs. This can be set to run automatically and do daily incremental and weekly or monthly full backups. - Jeff P. Henderson

Thanks for the advice Jeff. I might do that the next time I install windows. I already installed windows on the separate partitions. - BRҰANSAҰS from email

Although this is not nearly as compelling a reason as it used to be, we used to make small partitions because if one partition failed, it didn't take the whole OS with it. - Akiva from BuddyFeed

I read a bit fast, but anything is in the paths. Try %appdata% and you get to your X:\users\you\AppData\Roaming just change them in the command line and you can set any folder you want. I was doing this when merging XP accounts mashed together to keep cdkeys, serial numbers, application data... just set them with "set %appdata%=specialpath" or Windows+Pause, and find Environment Variables if you want to go custom on them. - Zu from AOD

From somewhere, I quote for reference: "I changed User variabes - TMP, TEMP, and added two System variables USERPROFILE and APPDATA, all pointing to respective (new) folders, all nicely structured like before reboot (just copied, so all settings should remain the same)." It's actually the case, USERPROFILE is the x:\users\NAME path, and it should move everything there. One interesting... more... - Zu from AOD

nothing against teachers, just CERTAIN teachers. and they wouldnt even be on friendfeed anyways. it's always the bad ones us adults remember. god, im only 29 and i would love to confront some of the bitches. - Terry O'Fee

Alex, I don't hate the teachers, that's a job I couldn't handle, and I respect them because I've had to do it for just a few hours and it's tough. I hate the system, though. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Generalizations about teachers to justify hating on unions does not compute. Have a little respect for people and their hard work. Also, hating on teachers like they are the guy behind the customer service counter where your trying to get your money back on a refund is a non equation. In fact, general hating because of your "I'm the customer so I'm right" attitude can, you know, #suckit. You don't always know what is right and what works to educate America just because you have a litter. That is all. - Eric

++Joe lol, I so see the scene there. - Zu from AOD

No, not really. That's just what I've noticed, the attacks on teachers are really fed by either a hatred of unions and people who feel they always know better because they are parents. - Eric

LMAO, that is the weirdest conversation ever. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
