Remaining "Lost" seasons extended by two hours LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - ABC has found more hours for the final two seasons of "Lost." The 2009 and 2010 editions of the hit drama will be 17 hours each -- not 16, as previously planned. ABC has added two hours to the show's production plan because the Writers Guild of America strike knocked three hours out of the current season. To partly compensate, the network recently added an additional hour to Part 2 of the season finale that airs May 29. All told, the changes will wrap up the show with the same number of episodes that producers and ABC negotiated last year. "We were supposed to do 16-16-16," "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof said. "But we ended up doing 14 this season, so we owe two." Lindelof, however, ruled out the idea that the show might extend beyond the remaining 34-episode order. "(Executive producer) Carlton Cuse and I worked so hard to get the show to end that I think to suddenly say, 'Oh, I think we've got another season in us' would be a betrayal to everybody involved in the show -- but most of all the audience," he said. "It's better to retire your number at the top of your game." For the upcoming season finale, Lindelof promised a more action-driven cliffhanger instead of the mind-bending flash-forward time shift that stunned fans last season. "The finale this year will not be as tricky as last year," he said. "Hopefully, this year it's a little bit more of a straightforward action-adventure narrative. But the ending of the episode will hopefully engage and intrigue people looking forward to the next season of the show." Lindelof declined to say whether the flash-forwards will continue, but he did leave open the possibility of the show's main story line on the island catching up with the flash-forwards that have taken place on the mainland this season. "It's very exciting that the audience is going to be wondering when is the present going to be (next season)," he said. "We've moved backward in time, now we've moved forward in time. The present of the show has always been on the island -- that may not necessarily be the case in the future." When it comes time to air the series finale in 2010, Lindelof said he and Cuse plan to "go into hiding for many, many months" at an "undisclosed location." "David Chase set a great example when he went off to Paris after 'The Sopranos' ending, which is great because all these people are going to be asking, 'What does it mean? What is it?'" he said. "The fact that there's no one really around to answer that question, it forces people to come up with what they think it means. We can guarantee our show will not end with a cut to black, it will be more clear than that. But whenever anything you love ends ... there's a certain disappointment."

She's definitely smokin' the evening wear!! Looks like she needs a BIG hug in this one!

Or her Vampness.......Kristy!!

What's with the tiny pix......I've only got 2 hands, so it's hard to hold a magnifying glass while...uummmm...I mean....errrmmm Anyways.......Here's one for your fan page collection Nick.......... But I personally prefer this one of Jessica Just makes 'ya wanna cuddle....don't it?!? Or Jessica........... Or Jessica!! ..............

Yeah....But he's the one with the best roads around him, so I say we plan a field trip!!

You sooo funneee Nick!! I knew that when I posted....Board was dead last night, so I was readin' through some older posts Besides.....Weren't you the one just bitchin' about how dead your Dayton forum was??

I figured out what the other deal was about though.....That one was on me.....Had it mixed up with another thread

Copious amounts of alcohol are required, in my humble opinion!

On the inside, you're talkin'?

Ummmm......Okaaaay.....Am I hallucinating??? I know he explained his nickname last night, and I had already responded to that.....on page TWO I thought?!?

Awwww C'mon......You GOTTA go with Beaver as your screen name if your last name is Cleaver!!! That's a gimmee....Geeeeeessshhhhh

Kinda what I was sayin' too Brett Awwww......You had me at "Big non-gay"!!!

I'm thinkin' he hasn't been back since he posted this thread. Noticed after I replied, he's only got 1 post

Disney Store

Well now you can say you know 2, 'cause SamBusa....the one who's tribal job you were flamin' the other day .......He's one too. Buddy Jeff who's down in my sig line was one as well. I learned a hell of a lot from those 2!Yeah.......It's funny....I used to be a banker and investment rep, but people were ALWAYS far more interested when they found out I was a Locomotive Engineer. Next question is inevitably "So you drive trains?!?" As Sam told me on my first trip with him the day I started...."We RUN 'em....There ain't no steering wheel on here!" Definately gave me some VERY interesting stories to tell for the rest of my life. Railroad's a WHOLE 'nother world/lifestyle!!!

Yeah......I could feel his hospitality towards newbs ....... And his "meet & greet" skills were obvious here ......... http://www.ohio-riders.net/showthread.php?t=12827

I always hear the Cherahola Skyway is very picturesque, and I believe, fairly close to the Gap

I see you're from Miamisburg. I was a Locomotive Engineer 'til about a year ago. Used to love comin' through there on the NS & blowin' through all those crossings hittin' the whistles!!

I'm about 30 miles north of you, and SamBusa is just outside Lima in Waynesfield

I knew I liked you Nick!! I'd welcome you Max Power....but you've been here longer than me!

Here's a pic I took on Rte 105 between Bowling Green & Oak Harbor, on my way up to Port Clinton. Nice mix of tight curves, rolling sweepers, & straightaways. Just watch out for the Po-Po.............. And here's one from Rte 37 between Findlay & Mt. Blanchard. Shorter ride, but still some nice curves for 5-10 miles, & closer to home for those "quick rides". Cell pic, so not as good as the top one............... Rte 65 along Maumee River is nice too, but can have a lot of traffic at times, which really limits the fun. Also.....There was a fatality on it last year

What happened to the replies that were in this thread???

Found this on another site, and thought I'd share it over here for those who may be interested. The guy who wrote it up shares a link & influence with Neil Peart that goes back 20 some years, though neither of them knew it at the time. Very cool story about kharma & fate, & how it ultimately culminated in sharing a ride between tour locations! If you get a chance.......Go out to their Ride Report main page & check out the "view" totals for this story....Almost 97,000 since Rick first posted it last year!!! I guess that's in big part because Neil has referenced/linked it in his blog & other band stuff.......... http://www.bmwbmw.org/bmwforums/viewtopic.php?t=8693&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=bf6d2e244f89bc6358a5e133c0ec9fef

U sure about changin' the wheels? I think the gold rims would tie in nicely

I've heard & read nothing but good & fun about those bikes.....Though the word "Hooligan" is usually endearingly spoken soon after!!
