At about 16:15 EDT my computer shut itself down. I restarted it and it happened again minutes later. I went limp thinking PC must've been atacked by that worm thingy. Even though I'd got a green boxed Stelth from the site DRA supplied the link....

My daughter just called me from the other little town around here and told me that she heared on the radio CNY has scattered power outage. I just found out it's a biggy!
They are saying NYC, Toronto, Ottawa,....

Don't know where to put this. Just mumbling, sorry.

Ed to say: I forgot, I was trying to sent some well wishes to NYC. I've spent many years(college & such)in Mahatten, Sunnyside and Elmhurst. I know how awful it could get.

Good Luck to all, hope it all get fixed soon!!

I don't think we'll be hearing from our favorite East Coast posters for a while.... best to all when you get your power back!

Erika will not put Justin and Ali up together unless she has lost her mind. Erika and Jack know the j3 must be broken first. I was so happy early this morning when she won. Watch for Justin to try and get Erika to put Ali up with him. The reason Justin is called a head hunter is 'cause he lost his head back in Pittsburg and is still looking for it. (old joke)

J3 seem to think that Erika won't put Jee up...I don't recall that he took the deal they offered and was thinking he wouldn't be safe. Anyone hear/read anything different?

I was wondering the same thing Ezgoing. I know that the next show is on Saturday instead of Friday. Will they delay noms a little or stay on the usual schedule?

"don't think we'll be hearing from our favorite East Coast posters"

Grrr....Once again, there is more to the East Coast than New York. :)

OK, more states than NY are blacked out, but life's fine here in PA and last time I checked we were considered part of the East Coast...as are states like Marylans, Virgina, the Carolinas, Florida, etc. Ohio, which is blacked out, is part of the Midwest (or was when I lived there). Parts of Canada are also blacked out. But there are plenty of East Coast states still with power.

Prisoner -- I just saw Erie, PA on CNN as being part of the area having blackout problems. BTW - I consider anything East of the Mississippi part of the "East Coast" , so I was including you in an area that could be plunged into darkness. Of course your posts would be missed!

Just a quick question...Anyone having problems with their feeds? I'm getting sound and picture comes up, but that's it, no video. Just a shot of when the feed starts. I can hear them talking but I don't see any movemet. Very wierd. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue?

The whole day is behind schedule since the hamsters slept in, and the producers do not have to rush the show to completion for a Friday airing.

Erika did say that nominations would be "tonight", so I expect they may be 2-4 hours later than the usual late afternoon (around 5:00 pm) BB time.

Wendo - that has been happening to me off and on all afternoon.

Wendo, YES! I'm hearing Jee's voice and seeing "still" shots of the pool and only women in the pool. Very wierd.

Well, I'm glad I wasn't the only one to be experiencing this phenomena. LOL!

I quit the feeds and resarted my computer, twice. Then fired them back up. Now the video is back working again.

Maybe the whole power outage thing is affecting things, eh?

Thanks for the lightbulb. :) The CNN maps are very misleading. The power isn't out in all of New Jersey (from what I gather) but rather in the NYC suburbs. It isn't out in all of New York, but it is in some of the major cities. The map has the power being out in Connecticut, but the reporter said it was primarily Hartford and a few small cities.

Erie is very close to Toronto and Toledo, so it's not surprising that the power is out in the far northwest corner of the state, but on here in NE PA (I'm two hours west of NYC).

Frankly, I doubt we'd be getting all this "special coverage" of the outage if it weren't for the visuals of people walking out of NYC.

ObBB: I say they cut the power in the hamster cage for a day. Let's see them survive without lights, the stove, the frig, microwave and the frellin' clock for 24 hours!

Well, considering 9/11 (or 11/9 as the rest of world calls it), we shouldn't be surprised

NY is where the concern for terror is highest, the most number of people are affected, and where they are able to get cameras operating right away

Having said that, there should be more reports from other big cities and clearer grids of where the impact is

I know this has probably been asked before so forgive me for asking again but could someone give me a quick run down on what happened during the HOH comp?? I would like to know the order in which people left and how long they stayed in.

Thanks

Forever, Robert left first - said he had a headache. Then Jun was promised by all in the cage that she wouldn't be put up so she left to go eat. Then Erika, Jack, Jee and Ali stayed in for over 6 hours. They were telling Jee that he would be safe. They decided that Ali would leave, followed by Jack. Then Jee and Erika would go to final cage for at least 1/2 hr. and then Jee would let Erika have it.

However Ali decided she didn't as she put it "want to leave the party" so she wouldn't leave. Finally Jack told Jee you and I will leave so Jack left, then Jee.

Erika and ali went to final cage and promised each other they wouldn't put each other up then Ali finally left.

Thanks. Sorry I missed all the fun by going to bed. I read that Erika won this morning and I had to leave. I'm very happy she won and hope she puts up Justin and oh....it really doesn't matter who else. I hope this will be an interesting week,
