Uptown Pizza 

Uptown Pizza is one of many pizza choices in Youngstown.

Location: Uptown Pizza, 2940 Belmont Ave, Liberty, 330-759-6907

The Order:. 12 inch pizza with pepperoni.

The Service: A quick phone call, courteous employee's and speedy service. The pizza was ready in the 20 minutes they said it would be.

The Taste: The pizza was hot, the box did not collapse smashing the cheese, and the slices were all completely cut and separated. The crust was cooked and crisped just right. The pepperoni was under the cheese and cooked with the pizza instead of being an after thought. The pizza was well cooked and not soggy or doughy.

Presentation: A solid sturdy white cardboard pizza box with Uptown Pizza logo touting both locations.

The Value: $6.95 for a single topping 12 inch pizza is a pretty good standard deal. The pepperoni topping was not skimped on.

Lost Update - Silent All These years

ABC Lost In Virtual Reality Update - 11/20/2004

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his
With her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes
I said sometimes
I hear my voice
And it's been here
Silent All These Years

Continuing with the Grassy Knoll Institute theory that the survivors of the plane crash on the ABC series "Lost" are actually abductees from an alien race placed in a virtual reality laboratory while experiments are being conducted on them.This week, Sayid, the Iraqi Republican guard, after torturing and almost killing Sawyer in hopes of getting an inhaler needed to help Shannon to breathe, sets off on his own to map the island and see what's on the other side.

As he travels along the shore line, he spies a cable buried in the sand. It stretches from the water to deep into the jungle. He follows the cable and spies a trip wire, a trap to snare what invades the area. He steps over the wire but still gets caught in the trap.

Sayid awakens tied to a bed spring that is hooked up to an electrical current and he gets shocked. A woman asks him questions and he answers truthfully yet he still gets shocked. The woman is the last survivor from a ship wreck over 16 years ago.

After gaining her trust fixing her music box, Sayid listens intently about how the others found their demise. The woman said that "They" took them one by one until she was the only one left. Seconds later, the sound of the monster is heard and Sayid tells her not to go outside the hut. The woman says that there are no monsters on this island, only "Them."

This episode is about the human psyche and how humans react when isolated and how we perform under duress. Through the use of virtual reality, one can be made to believe that you have been stranded on the island for a long time. Perhaps even for 16 years. Using only her gile and wits does she survive. To test her resolve, the aliens took her crew away one by one until she was the sole survivor.

Next week the show is off but in two weeks, that episode should be pivotal being the final week of sweeps week.

Stay tuned for the next update.

Lost Update - We Can Work It Out

ABC Lost In Virtual Reality Update - 11/07/2004

Think of what you're saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again.

Continuing with the Grassy Knoll Institute theory that the islanders were abducted by aliens and are in a virtual reality experiment in human behavior, Wednesdays episode strengthened my position.The group splits in two, one stays on the shore line in hopes of signaling a rescue ship while the other group hunkers down in the jungle in an area with fresh water, shade, and a defensible perimeter. Then something happens, the doctor, (Jack) gets trapped in the cave and the group comes together and tries to dig him out. They can only open up a small entrance and someone must shimmy through and help Jack. The rock star, Charlie, who thinks the rest of the group doesn't think he is helping out, the same rock star who is hooked on drugs, volunteers to go. He reaches Jack and in his attempts to free him, causes another rockslide and now both are trapped.

Jacks love interest, Kate, the mysterious woman running from the law gets news of the cave in and works feverishly to rescue Jack. The whole group is coming together, working together, with a plan.

Amazingly, the rock star sees a moth, and follows the moth to safety and both he and Jack walk to the group and Jacks love interest runs to him and wraps her arms around him.

Also, another miracle occurs on this episode.Charlie, he rock star, has been addicted for years to a hard drug, and John Locke, the bald man with knives finds out, takes his drug stash, and helps him in two days to kick his habit. Charlie takes the drugs and throws it into the fire for he is finally free. One would think that it would be a long painful withdrawal being addicted for years.

Why does this strengthen my theory? Thanks for asking. Very logical actually. Tonight's episode was a classic laboratory study on human behavior and how when faced with danger and adversity, the entire group pulls together. Hence, Charlie volunteering to squeeze through the hole and the rest digging and removing rubble endlessly.

Also, what a coincidence that Jack and Charlie spot a moth and it leads them to the cave exit. Very convenient indeed.

Tune in next week for the next update.

You Want Super Sized What

A lady was at the store and picked up several items and proceeded to the checkout. As always the case, one of her items was not priced. Imagine her embarrassment when the checker got on the intercom and boomed out for all the store to hear,
PRICE CHECK ON LANE 13, TAMPAX SUPER SIZE.

That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear of the store apparently misunderstood the word Tampax for thumbtacks. In a business like tone, a voice boomed back over the intercom,

"DO YOU WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB
OR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH A HAMMER?"
