Bugaboo Lodge, Purcell Mountains, British Columbia
Say good morning to the glacier -- from your warm, cushy bed. Next, tackle the blueberry-banana pancakes. Then thwap, thwap; blades blur and grass ripples. Hang on to your sunhat as you're whisked high into the blue sky, up to the jagged peaks of the Purcells, and plopped -- peacefully -- in the middle of absolutely nowhere. It's called heli-hiking, and once you try it, you'll never hoof it uphill for a view again. The guided walk can be as leisurely, or as challenging, as you choose. And the beauty of the surroundings brings out the playfulness in all: Silver-haired siblings frolic in a wildflower-filled meadow; kids toss snow over steep rocks. At the end of the day, everyone reunites back at the lodge for a well-deserved dinner. After a soak in the rooftop tub, you're ready for tomorrow's adventure. INFO: Bugaboo Lodge is one of six wilderness lodges run by Canadian Mountain Holidays; 800-661-0252. –Rachel Levin
Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, Tucson, Arizona
Within minutes of leaving the resort's tony confines, you can hike into some genuine, 100 percent American wilderness. The monumental resort, edged by a golf course, sits at the head of its namesake canyon in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. After a brief stretch through a private easement, you enter the pristine Sonoran Desert habitat of the Pusch Ridge Wilderness. Saguaros crowd the slopes and huge boulders fill the canyon bottom, where a seasonal stream runs. About 2½ miles of hiking offers a nice taste of the canyon's beauty and leads to shallow swimming holes (depending on rains) at Maiden Pools. But if you're really inspired, the trail continues for another few miles and climbs more than 3,000 feet into the heart of the Catalinas. INFO: 800-234-5117. –Matthew Jaffe
Olinda Country Cottages, Makawao, Hawaii
High above beach level in Maui's Upcountry, these cottages on a hill command a stunning view of the island's North Shore. About 15 minutes up the road from Makawao, the place is at 4000-foot elevation, meaning cool mornings and plenty of fresh air and making this spot a great getaway for hikers. Stay in Hidden Cottage (our favorite) and wander the property's 8.6 acres of grassy meadow and protea groves. Or walk to the nearby Waihou Spring Forest Reserve, part of the state's Na Ala Hele Trails System. Choose from two trails, with the more challenging route descending down through a eucalyptus-and-koa forest to Kailua Gulch. INFO: 800-932-3435. –Amy Traverso
Ventana Inn & Spa, Big Sur, California
It's a good thing the Ventana Inn & Spa is on more than 200 acres of pristine California coast, because something has to lure you out of your room. This low-key but luxurious resort is so plush and comfy -- with luxe beds, private decks, spa tubs, fireplaces, and flat-screen TVs -- it's tempting to spend your stay in a bathrobe with room service on speed dial. But that would be a shame, because Ventana's real strength is its location. As soon as you step outside, you're rewarded with heart-stopping views of the Pacific (or an equally beautiful sea of fog), the unmistakable smell of coyote brush and coastal sage, and access to 300 miles of hiking trails through the Ventana Wilderness. The inn also has a hiking concierge service to help find just the right route. INFO: 800-628-6500. –Samantha Schoech
Hacienda Hotel & Casino, Boulder City, Nevada
Hop straight from the casino floor to a railroad route turned trail when you stay at the Hacienda, 30 miles from the Strip. This is not the Bellagio -- rooms are motel-modest -- but they're comfortable and clean, and won't empty your bank account. From the east parking lot, descend the path and veer right to see the five tunnels on the Historic Railroad Trail, which once conveyed construction materials to Hoover Dam. The 2.7-mile (one-way) route offers views of Lake Mead, where you might spot a bighorn sheep or two. You can access 30 more miles of trails from here, with options like taking the ambitious 9-mile trek (with a strenuous climb) into Bootleg Canyon, a hot spot for mountain bikers, or walking the easier Lakeshore Trail, along the edge of Lake Mead. INFO: 800-245-6380. –J.C. Davis
Mt. Ashland Inn, Ashland, Oregon
You can drive to the Mt. Ashland Inn, or walk here from Mexico or Canada, if you're so inclined -- it's right on the Pacific Crest Trail, 5,500 feet up the mountain and 20 minutes from town. Handcrafted 20 years ago from incense cedars logged on-site, the inn has five roomy guest suites, each with a large spa tub and gas fireplace. Dine in Ashland or bring a picnic (mini fridge and microwave in each suite) to eat in your room or at the split-log picnic table outside, where long-distance backpackers often pause. The inn's generous breakfast will fuel your own hikes, to Mexico, Canada, or just along the mountain's forested slopes. INFO: 800-830-8707. –Bonnie Henderson
The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, Avon, Colorado
By all means, sleep in if you like, but when you open your curtains in the morning at the opulently rustic Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch -- at the base of beautiful Beaver Creek Mountain 20 miles from Vail -- the heart-shaking panoramas will compel you to grab your walking boots and get moving. You can stroll on your own or along with Bachelor, the resident yellow Labrador retriever whose infectious energy comes in handy while hiking the Village-to-Village Trail, a wooded 6-mile trek that begins directly outside your door and connects the villages of Bachelor Gulch, Arrowhead, and Beaver Creek. Breathe in the crisp high-altitude air, watch for roaming deer, and behold the bright-hued aspen leaves that whisper in the breeze. INFO: 970-748-6200. –Lori L. Midson
West Point Inn, Mill Valley, California
This is the perfect spot for a back-to-nature experience -- from the comfort of a rustic Craftsman-style lodge and surrounding cabins on the south slope of Mt. Tamalpais. There's no television; cell use and propane-generated power are limited; furnishings are austere; and getting there requires a nearly 2-mile hike along fire roads. But one look at the amazing views of San Francisco, the Marin Headlands, and the East Bay from the inn's massive wraparound deck and it will all be worthwhile. Plus in the morning, Mt. Tam's trails are at your feet, from the steep descent down to Stinson Beach to the climb up East Peak. Pack in supplies for cooking up meals in the large communal kitchen; a little extra for sharing is a good idea too. INFO: No overnight guests Sun–Tue; closed to day-hikers; 415-646-0702. –Rich Ehisen
Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort, Snowbird, Utah
We could go on about the beauties of the Wasatch Mountains in fall -- the quaking aspen shining against mountain granite, the cerulean skies. We could go on about the pleasures of staying at Snowbird -- their jolly Oktoberfests, the great Sunday brunches, even the angular '70s architecture that still looks remarkably at home here in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Still, passionate but lazy hikers that we are, here's what we like best: Snowbird is a ski resort. That means you can ride the aerial tram to the top of 11,000-foot Hidden Peak and then hike down. Stupendous scenery and no uphill! Snowbird has four different lodging options: the dramatic (and newly renovated) Cliff Lodge and Spa; condos at the Lodge at Snowbird and Iron Blosam; and the cozy Inn at Snowbird. INFO: 800-232-9542. –Peter Fish
Granite Park Chalet, Glacier National Park, Montana
You might be tempted to burst into song at the glacier-carved mountains, hanging valleys, and lush carpets of wildflowers in the "Crown of the Continent," as explorer George Bird Grinnell called this spot. The 1914 chalet is within the park, perched on a rocky outcropping at the nexus of four trails; the 7.6-mile, moderate Highline Trail is the most popular, with views of glacier peaks and the park's rocky Garden Wall along the Continental Divide. The 12-room backcountry shelter offers bunk beds and a kitchen where guests take turns cooking; you can order freeze-dried food and linens in advance. The view from the front porch is pure Bierstadt: rocky peaks, clouds, sky -- absolutely regal. INFO: Through Sept. 8; book ahead for next year starting in Oct (lodge opens in late June); 888-345-2649. –Caroline Patterson

Skip to comments."Boycott Israel" Epic Fail as liquor store sells entire inventory of Israeli wine in 30 minutes
Posted on 04/07/2009 3:57:03 PM PDT by Alouette
Pro-Palestinian activists who picketed a Toronto liquor store got more than they bargained for as customers swarmed the store and bought out the entire inventory of Israeli wine in 30 minutes.
The Canadian version of "Freedom Riders" motorcycle club was also present.
Video at link.
(Excerpt) Read more at israelmatzav.blogspot.com ...
If they start any of this "boycott Israeli products" stuff here, I'm going out of my way to do the opposite.
That's hillarious.
Nothing that pro-Palestinian professors with ties to radical Islam can't fix.
Wow! Great turn out! I love your comments on the video! I will be at a U.S. Tea Party on the 15th.
An "Epic Fail" indeed!
That is a LOVELY story!
Just the way to answer this pathetic "boycott".
I think they may have learned something from this;
unfortunately, it may turn them toward violence next time, which would be no surprise, since it's what they're good at.
Reminds me of the time the gay activists got on the case of orange juice from Florida when the growers association started advertising on the Rush Limbaugh store. They announced a boycott of some super market here in the state and at the appointed time a bunch of people, way more than the number of those there to protest, arrived and promptly bought ALL the orange juice from Florida in the store!
That was the last time THAT tactic was tried in the Sunshine State!
Pathetic puerile Pathostinians promote purchases of palate-pleasing Israeli products ping.
I find this SOOOO funny. I hope they try that crap here. I'm going to be loaded down with Israeli stuff I'll probably never drink.
ROFLMAO Excellent!
I hope that they call for a boycott on tomatoes from Israel. I buy them anyhow, and I'd be certain to get a few extra for the cause.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
I am made sick by seeing terrorist supporters in my country, but I am buoyed by the actions of the Jewish Canadians.
Thanks for posting.
I shall keep my eye out for any similar thing in my area and shall do likewise.
Talk about a back fire :)
Check this out ping.
LOL. I dunno about Israeli wine though. Is it drinkable?
Anything the Israelis do, they do well, however, so I bet it's good. (For wine.)
Israeli wine is awesome! The Golan Heights wines are especially excellent. It's not your grandmother's Manischevitz.
Cool. What variety ya recommend should the pali idiots try that here?
Yarden Chardonnay from the Golan Heights is excellent.
I'll keep it in mind. I don't drink much wine. Gimme a Guinness!
"Hamas sells Israeli wines"
Great thread, eh Bahbah?
You doing well?
Yes, fanfan, thanks for asking.
Although it is allergy season, so I sneeze a lot.
Hope all is well with you.
I don't often literally laugh out loud as I sit at my computer, but I did this time.
Great story!
If it's not snow, it's allergy season.
Aren't the seasons great?
We had spring last week, snow this week, and spring expected again by Friday. Fitting, eh?
The daffodils are holding up. ;-)
LOL. Same here.
customers swarmed the store and bought out the entire inventory of Israeli wine in 30 minutesHeh heh...
well mazeltov.
Thanks for the ping.
No doubt, they will now consider blowing it up.
"LOL. I dunno about Israeli wine though. Is it drinkable?" Not only is it drinkable, some of it is top notch, comparable with the products of vineyards in Spain, Italy and France.
I gotta wonder...Geddy Lee right there in Toronto...Jewish... parents in the holacaust...if he took part in any of this. His wine collection alone is over 50,000 bottles.
Nice, eh?
I second Alouette's statement. I had some GREAT wine when I visited Israel, and I had some excellent beer as well.
For us, I've been having fun w/unemployment, working one week, off the next.
Also, Mrs. Springman was in a car accendent, broke her right hand.
Well at least she was driving the pick-up, my car, I don't want to think about it.
Oh, brother!
You two have tons of luck, all of it bad.
Ya gotta change that, Springman!
When was the accident?
Chag Sameach, Alouette! I second your choice in wines. Nice to know my "back yard" (TO) is being well supported. Thanks for the post.
I brought some Yarden Chard back with me the last time
I was there - um, yes drinkable with some added fruit
juice or diet sevenup

Susan G. Komen for the Cure
Komen Aborts Decision to Defund Planned Parenthood
Image from: Africa Studio / Shutterstock You've undoubtedly heard the controversy this week about the nation's largest breast cancer awareness charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, deciding to cut ties with health services organization Planned Parenthood. Supposedly based on a recent government investigation of Planned Parenthood, the Komen organization decided to halt their sizable donations to the family planning non-profit. As of this morning, however, Komen decided to flip

Kids at a local school are currently fundraising to raise money to install a telescopic pool cover (so the children can swim all year round) as well as equipment/materials for various clubs that they are involved in. Liz Black from AppleJack Crafts was approached by the Friends of Edge Grove Fundraising Committee to help them create a project to be sold at the forthcoming Annual Christmas Fair. Liz and the team from AppleJack Crafts developed a chalkboard which would be personalized by the children in the pre-prep and made available for parents to purchase at the fair.
Various members of the committee donated their time in the weeks leading up the event and we produced 100 personalised chalkboards with 100 sets of very cute hand-prints. After many sessions in the studio preparing the boards, they spent a lovely morning with the nursery, reception and year 1 children painting their hands and making sure they put them in the right place! Liz stated that it was "a potentially disastrous mission that went off without a hitch! Phew!"
Fraser Kirkwood from Chroma Europe kindly donated the Jo Sonja products and other local businesses who donated materials and time. The project was hugely successful and helped to boost the funds by £1000!

The Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), as amended by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), mandates that certain consumer products must comply with applicable CPSC requirements. On December 15, 2010, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted unanimously to approve new mandatory standards for full-size baby cribs (16 C.F.R. part 1219) and non-full-size baby cribs (16 C.F.R. part 1220). The new mandatory crib standards impose significant requirements on full-size and non-full-size cribs. The rule provides two compliance dates.
The CPSC has received questions asking how to determine whether a particular crib is compliant with the applicable CPSC standard, as well as what documentation would be acceptable to CPSC to demonstrate compliance. Below are the guidelines to follow in order to determine whether a crib complies with current CPSC crib standards:
Registration form means a postage-paid consumer registration form provided by the manufacturer with each product. Registration forms must identify the manufacturer's name and contact information, model name, model number, and the date of manufacture.
Tracking label means a permanent, distinguishing mark on the product and its packaging, to the extent practicable, which must contain certain basic information, including the source of the product, the date of manufacture, and cohort information, such as batch or run number.
Children's Product Certificate (CPC) means a certificate provided by the manufacturer or importer to the retailer or distributor of a children's product. The certificate must accompany the product through commerce and be provided to the retailer or distributor. The CPC certifies that such children's product complies with applicable children's product safety rule(s) based on the testing by a third party conformity assessment body accredited and accepted by the Commission to conduct such tests and identifies: the product covered by the certificate; the safety regulation to which the product is being certified; the importer or domestic manufacturer; contact information for the individual maintaining records of test results; date and place where the product was manufactured; date and place where the product was tested; and identification of the third party laboratory on whose testing the certificate depends.

Read all of the articles in this series from Barbara McMillan.
On the morning of my Compassion Sunday event, I arrived early before the first service to set up my table and meet with the technical-support volunteer who would be playing my DVD and running my PowerPoint show. My 15-minute spot would be just after announcements.
We got our signals straight as to when the DVD should start, when I should come to the front, and how I would indicate that it was time to advance the presentation slides. I put a bright blue Compassion tablecloth on the folding table, set up the cardboard attention-getter from the preparation kit, arranged the child packets and my personal scrapbooks about my sponsored kids, and went to sit down.
When I realized how many people were browsing as they entered, though, I realized I needed to remain near the table.
One woman looked at the display, went to her seat, then returned, telling me that she had been to the Compassion website before but had never sponsored a child. She selected a child packet and asked me to put it aside for her, which I did. It looked like I would get at least one sponsorship!
I lecture college students every day, and I have given a significant number of professional presentations at conferences in my career, so I never expected the case of nerves that hit me as I began to speak.
Once I got started, the hardest part was finding a place to stop. As I returned to my seat, my pastor announced that two offerings would be taken that morning. The first, taken at the usual time during the service, would be for tithes and regular offerings. The second would be taken at the end of the service for Compassion. Wow!
At the end of the service, the pastor directed two of the deacons to take offering plates and stand by the exit doors, and reminded everyone to visit the Compassion table. Many people looked at the scrapbooks and packets and asked questions. Several asked for brochures or particular kinds of literature or information. I took notes for follow up later.
By the time the room cleared, seven child packets had been spoken for, and three were returned with payment right on the spot.
My nerves were actually worse during the second service than in the first one. My tongue was stuck to the roof of my dry mouth. Nonetheless, the presentation went well enough and the response was again good. A total of 11 packets were taken, leaving me only four.
Again, a number of people asked questions or requested some individual follow-up. For example, one family wanted a child from Bolivia, and I had already given away the three Bolivia packets I had, so this family gave me sufficient information to select a child for them and sign them up online that afternoon. At the end of the day, I was overwhelmed and humbled by the response of my church family.
Once my Compassion Sunday was over, I wanted to wrap up the loose ends as quickly as possible. I wanted to FedEx my paperwork and money to Compassion the next day; however, although 11 child packets had been selected, only six found their way back to me complete with checks or payment information.
I was thrilled with six new sponsorships, but I hoped for the others to come in too. In addition, my church had collected a special love offering that I really didn't know how to handle and I wasn't sure when I would have it in my hands.
I contacted my Regional Coordinator for help and support for the logistics. She assured me that it would be fine if it took me a few extra days, and she talked me through the details.
My Compassion Sunday kit contained 15 packets. At last count, my church family has sponsored 12 new children. The offering amounted to $1,339.00.
I am praying for the remaining children whose packets are in my care, and at this point I can envision the Lord moving in the hearts of potential sponsors to accomplish what I would have thought was impossible just a few weeks ago.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Barbara McMillan and her family sponsor three children and correspond with one more. She has been an advocate for two and a half years.

Comments about this product:
The sign looks way more authentic in person than in the photo -- it's not just a single piece of wood, it's horizonal planks that have been distressed (an indent here, a scratch there) to look like the actual Univille sign. It's about an inch thick and seems very sturdy. The picture on here didn't catch my eye, but I received it as a gift and was very impressed!
Lost one star because it's not really "painted" like the description says -- up close it has that distinct printed look. But you don't notice that at all when it's hanging.

Local man, woman arrested on drug charges
PARKERSBURG – A Parkersburg man and woman were arrested on drug charges Tuesday after a search warrant was executed on March 28, police said.
Alan Keith Philpot, 45, of 113 Elm Tree Drive and Amber Oliver, 23, of 111 Elm Tree Drive were arrested on charges of possession with intent to deliver bath salts after a warrant was obtained by the Parkersburg detachment of the West Virginia State Police, officials said.
Wood County Sheriff's Office detectives along with its Narcotics Enforcement Team arrested the two suspects at 1:28 p.m. Tuesday near the Red Roof Inn on Seventh Street in Parkersburg, officials said.
The previous search warrant, executed on March 28, alleged Philpot was in possession of bath salts and an undisclosed amount of money.
Sheriff's detectives spotted a vehicle believed to be in Philpot's possession Tuesday parked at the Omelet Shoppe and began surveillance operations, police said.
According to police records, a traffic stop was conducted after investigators observed Philpot and an unidentified female, later determined to be Oliver, enter the vehicle and turn onto U.S. 50 westbound. Investigators allegedly found suspected bath salts and money.
Both occupants of the vehicle were charged with possession with the intent to deliver bath salts and transported to the Wood County Holding Center for processing.
Philpot was arraigned around 4 p.m. in front of Magistrate Brenda Marshall on the charge of felony possession of a firearm and possession with the intent to deliver bath salts. He was confined to the holding center on a $150,000 cash bond, according to court records. Officials said they believe he will be taken to the North Central Regional Jail.
Oliver was arraigned around 4 p.m. in front of Magistrate Joe Kuhl and confined on a $10,000 bond.
Philpot was arrested on charges of driving on a license revoked for DUI after the March 28 search warrant was executed. He was out on bond at the time on charges of possession with the intent to deliver marijuana and prohibited person in possession of a firearm from a Nov. 1, 2012, search warrant conducted at his residence, police said.
During the November incident, about 30 guns were confiscated from Philpot's residence, police said.
Philpot was arraigned on the misdemeanor warrants and released on bond again March 28, officials said.
During the search warrant, investigators said they found an undisclosed amount of pills, suspected bath salts and an undisclosed amount of marijuana. Officers also recovered at the residence a handgun, two shotguns, a rifle and two vehicles reported stolen from Parkersburg recently, police said.

RSBS TV: 2009 NL Central Preview
Produced, shot and edited by Atonal Studios.
Special thanks to Theo Roll.
special thanks to Albert Pujols — the only man who can make Jeff wobble like a newborn calf.
(For best playback results, watch in High Quality)
13 Comments
hey just post your picks on your blog on comment on mine sometime before the games start on fridays and i'll get you in the standings when i update them, thanks for participating!
Love the instant replay…you are very brave :O) And don't feel bad about the wobbling – we all love Pujols!
I hate when divisions are decided before the season starts yet I too made the same prediction you did. Have a good day!
Not that it's any of my business, but were you wearing a cup, Jeff? Great video. I loved lip reading the bleeps.
Wobble like a newborn calf. Ahahahaha! Jeff, you kill me. Love the bleeping of that other Chicago team. 🙂
you saved the best video for last. Are your hearts beating fast now, it's opening day at last….
haha Awesome. Both in the same video. Love that Cubs is now a curse word as well. Very nice.
Pujols makes us all wobbly I've got to go watch your AL Central preview. That is one crazy division (though, other words would describe it better).
Yep, the Cubs will win the division and then get swept right away in the NLDS. Some things never change.
Jenn — Glad I'm not the only one wobbling😉
Aaron — Don't have that problem in the AL Central though. Lucky.
Jane — No cup. Commando style.
Jen — Yep. Bleep the Chicago Bleeps.
Jason — As long as they score 10 runs a game (which they will often), then yes, they sure have a shot.
Baba — What heart? Did you see the game yesterday?!?!
Melissa — Yes, the worst word of them all.
Elizabeth — I'd say the AL Central is the closest division of them all. We'll see!
Erin — Exactly.
So it's fun to look back at predictions so:
In review… the CUBS… what were you thinking, besides about Pujols…well I guess you got 2 out of 6 divisions right, which wasn't too shabby this year considering…all of them were funny, which I am assuming was more the intent than the accuracy….like to see you guys do post season predictions…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Peter — Thanks for reminding us of our prediction FAIL. Hahaha. Glad you went back and called us out. Seriously. It was fun, meant to be entertaining more than accurate. Glad I was wrong in the important ones😉

I'm going to get the league pass next season for sure but it doesn't seem worth it for the remainder of this season, unless of course they have some deal on.
come on now. we need to close this one out. No points yet in 4th quarter. we had a 14pt lead toward the mid to end of 3rd..they outscored us by 8-0.. We cant let this one slip away. We need to gain this full game on philly.
Is anyone checking out PG-Ismeal Smith.....he could be a great
cheap pickup this offseason
Man... Knicks MUST stop their momentum right here! Damn
Nah, the league pass won't be worth it from here on out. We'll end up in the playoffs & there's only I believe 18 games left after tonight. Game is on TNT tomorrow too. That leaves 17 games left. Plus, Knicks should at least have another 3 or 4 primetime games from here on out no? When my streams would mess up, I'd listen to the game live. Not as fun as actually watching but it has a good old school feel to it. Lots of thinking involved though lol
31 to 4
that's how much freethrows they have had compared to us and we up 10
Knicks 2012
Nice! We stopped their momentum. Now lets pull away.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Minnesota political leaders on both sides of the federal health care debate reacted quickly and sharply to the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act, which opponents dub "Obamacare."
Here is a snapshot of the reaction:
"This ruling is an affirmation of the reform efforts currently underway in Minnesota to improve the quality and lower the cost of care."
--Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton.
"President Obama and Democrats in Congress have unleashed a massive expansion of government that will harm our economy every day until it is repealed."
--Minnesota House Speaker Kurt Zellers, a Republican.
"This law is a beginning, not an end, and I believe that improvements still need to be made. Moving forward I will continue to work to ensure the law is implemented in a way that is consistent with Minnesota's high-quality, efficient health care system and ensure these reforms work for our state."
--Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
"Countless Minnesotans -- for generations to come -- will no longer have to suffer the burden of worrying about getting health insurance. There's a lot of great stuff in this law."
--Democratic Sen. Al Franken.
"Health care reform is a journey, not a destination. And as we move forward, I will continue to work closely with health care experts, small businesses and southern Minnesotans to ensure all Americans have access to the high-quality, low-cost care they deserve."
--Democratic Rep. Tim Walz, who represents the 1st Congressional District.
"The Supreme Court's decision is a devastating blow to the American people. If Washington can penalize private citizens for failing to buy government-approved health insurance, then there is no reasonable limit on federal power."
--Republican Rep. John Kline, who represents the 2nd Congressional District.
"While I respect the court's decision, it doesn't change the fact that the health care law's policy is flawed and remains very unpopular with the majority of Americans."
--Republican Rep. Erik Paulsen, who represents the 3rd Congressional District.
"It is now time for Republicans in Congress to end their vitriolic repeal campaign and work on effectively implementing this law to the benefit of the American people."
--Democratic Rep. Betty McCollum, who represents the 4th Congressional District.
"For decades, Americans have been organizing to secure greater access to affordable health care. Today's ruling means we can create change and improve people's lives when we work hard and stick together."
--Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, who represents the 5th Congressional District.
"Obamacare represents the largest expansion of entitlement spending and a playground of left-wing social engineering in our country's history and must be stopped. Now, the only way to save the country from Obamacare's budget-busting government takeover of health care is to completely repeal it."
--Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann, who represents the 6th Congressional District.
"The Supreme Court ruling means small business owners, doctors, patients and consumers will be forced into a government-run health care system that limits our freedom while driving up costs on all Americans. I don't have to tell you this is unacceptable and un-American."
--Republican Rep. Chip Cravaack, who represents the 8th Congressional District.

Ohio Northern University presents 'Baby Boomers Comedy Show: Clean Comedy for People Born Before Seatbelts, Safety Helmets and Facebook'
The Ohio Northern University Freed Center for the Performing Arts presents "Baby Boomers Comedy Show: Clean Comedy for People Born Before Seatbelts, Safety Helmets and Facebook" on Friday, Feb. 14, at 7:30 p.m.
In this hilarious 90-minute theatre event, veteran comedians Jan McInnis and Kent Rader hit all the familiar topics baby boomers are dealing with – family, kids, work, do-it-yourself projects, dieting, aging and all – and they do it with clean humor that's been a hit at thousands of conventions.
Comedian Jan McInnis has cornered the corporate and association convention market. Inspired by 15 years as a marketing director in the 9-to-5 world, she has spent the past 17 years performing for thousands of organizations such as John Deere, Pep Boys, The Mayo Clinic and the American Heart Association. McInnis was featured in The Wall Street Journal as one of the top convention comedians whose act is clean.
Known as the "World's Cleanest Comedian and Speaker," Rader helps people and associations learn and experience how laughter matters in reducing stress and building quality organizations. He survived five years in public accounting and 12 years as CFO and CEO of hospitals before becoming a professional speaker in 1997. He has been heard on NPR's "Talk of the Nation" and SiriusXM Satellite Radio. Rader is the winner of the Branson Comedy Festival and has been seen on Comcast's comedy show "Who's Laughing Now" and the Kansas City Royals' Jumbotron.
Tickets for this event are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, $10 for ONU faculty and staff, and $5 for children and students. The Freed Center box office is open Monday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Phone orders are accepted with American Express, MasterCard, VISA or Discover by calling 419-772-1900.

July 31, 2013 —
LIBERTY, NY — Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) Sullivan County is working with the Catskill Regional Invasive Species Partnership (CRISP) to develop an Early Detection/Rapid Response (ED/RR) system in the Catskill region. The public in the Catskill region is urged to join in this task.
In recent years there has been an increase in awareness that introduced invasive species are having a significant impact on economies, environment, and health. Many of the currently known invasive plants causing problems today were originally imported as ornamentals. Recent increases in global trade, including trade in ornamental plants, have created new opportunities for the spread of both intentional and non-intentional exotic species.
It is estimated that only 1% of the species introduced every year will become invasive. Even though this is a small percentage, the damage caused is significant. Invasive species include plants and animals, including insects and pathogens. They have negative impacts on forests, agriculture, wildlife, fish, shellfish and human health. They also diminish recreational areas. The need for a national early detection and rapid response (ED/RR) system has been recognized in order to deal with this increasing threat.
Research has shown that the best strategy to deal with invasive species is to identify and eradicate them before they become established.
Information and free identification services for potential early detection species is available at the CCE office in Liberty. If you suspect you have found a new invasive species, on your property or anywhere in the region, call 845/292-6180 or email firstname.lastname@example.com [1].

I need some help encouragement. My son is 3 weeks old. I started right from delivery breast feeding my baby but once we were discharged from the hospital, we followed up with his first appt to the pediatrician only to find out that he had lost 15% of his birth weight so the doctor stated that my milk supply must not be fully in yet so she advised me to supplement nursing w/formula until my milk comes in 100%.
I did try to continue to nurse him but he never seemed satisfied. I then tried to pump but to date I still can only get 2-2.5 ounces when I pump. We met w/a lacation consultant who said his latch and the positioning was perfect so that wasn't an issue and she suggested we purchase and try a herb called Fenugreek to increase milk supply. I've now been on these for the past 4 days and am not seeing much increase.
My question is, is it to late for me to try to increase the supply or is it just not gonna happen. I would love to continue to nurse him but if its not there then its just not there. What should I or can I do?

Phillies Annihilate the Mets in Finale of 3-Game Sweep
On Thursday night, the Phillies gave the Mets a spanking and then some. It was an outright stomping to the tune of 2 touchdowns and a safety. If you are not a football fan, that is the baseball equivalent of 16 runs.
The 16-1 pummeling began with an 8-run 1st inning. The Phillies went all the way through the line-up, batters 1-8, before a single out was recorded by the Mets. The starting pitcher was lifted from the game 7 batters in and his final line read 7 earned runs and zero innings pitched…ouch. The next pitcher who came in hit Erik Kratz with a pitch to force in another run.
This was the first time the Phillies had their first 8 batters reach base to start a game since 1975. It was also the first time since 1912 that they scored at least 8 runs in the 1st inning while on the road. Know what else happened in 1912? The Titanic sank.
For the Mets, this was a game to forget, if they can. For the Phillies, it was a nice opportunity to bump up their batting averages and stats. Here are those than benefitted the most from the Mets' ineptitude:
That is a lot of hitting.
With 2 outs in the 9th the night before, Ryan Howard hit a 2-run homer to win the game. And with 2 outs in the 9th last night, Howard smashed a Grand Slam home run, adding insult to injury for the Mets. The Phillies scored 7 runs in that final inning.
Rookie pitcher Tyler Cloyd quietly had a great game in between all the offensive fireworks. Cloyd gave up only 1 run on 3 hits over 8 innings. He was the only starter in the game who did not get a hit for the Phillies, but since he pitched well, he is forgiven ;o)
Despite the sweep of the Mets though, the Phillies are still 4 games out of the Wild Card race as the Cardinals keep winning. They are running out of games quickly.
Of the 12 remaining games, the next 3 are at home against the Braves. Game time tonight is 7:05pm.

Video: Highlights of Archmere vs. DMAFrancis McVey scores two touchdowns to aid in Archmere's victory over Delaware Military Academy at McKean.
The Seahawks started off hot in the 1st half. Tyler Lewis made the defensive play for DMA to stop Brian Rogers from attempting a pass. DMA continued their defensive effort. They were too aggressive, as they were called for numerous penalties, including a pass interference to help the Auks continue their drive.
Ultimately, DMA would score first. Quarterback Sean O'Brien kept the football to for a 35 yard run into the end-zone. The extra point made the score 7 to 0.
In the 3rd quarter, Archmere shifted into gear. Rogers connected with Francis McVey for 71 yards to score the Auks' first touchdown of the game, making the score 7 to 7.
Archmere pushed for a score in the beginning of the 4th quarter. McVey ran the ball 14 yards for the score, and with the extra point Archmere jumped in front of DMA. The score was 14 to 7.
DMA would try to make a play, but an unfortunate snap pushed them back to the 49 yard line with 1:24 left in the 4th quarter.
Archmere won the game 14 to 7. Auks' head coach, Jerry Ambrogi, commented on the game saying, "...we do what we do best, when we have to grind it out".
Archmere's record improves to 6-3, while DMA drops to 5-4.

Chipmunks are small ground-dwelling rodents with distinctive stripes on their rusty-red to chestnut-brown fur. Five dark-brown stripes line the back — one down the backbone from the neck to rump, two on each side from shoulder to rump. A creamy-buff stripe separates the dark side stripes. Mature chipmunks are nine to 10 inches in length and weigh about three ounces. The flattened, well-haired tail is roughly one-third the animal's total length.
Chipmunks have forefeet adapted for holding and eating food while they sit upright. Their heads are blunt and squirrel-like and have unique furred cheek pouches in which they carry food and other material. The front teeth are chisel-shaped. Chipmunks may range over an acre, but their individual territories often are much smaller.
Chipmunks are omnivorous; they feed on both plants and animals. Plant material such as acorns, hickory nuts, beechnuts, cherry seeds, serviceberries, raspberries, dogwood seeds, corn and plant bulbs are favorites. The main animal foods are birds' eggs, insects, snails, and occasionally mice and young birds.
Chipmunks spend much time in late summer and fall gathering and storing food. Hard foods are stuffed into their cheek pouches and stored in food caches. They climb shrubs and trees to look for food and to escape enemies.
In their woodland habitat, chipmunks may compete for food with other mast-eating animals. When storing excessive amounts, they may limit availability of seeds that might be used by other wildlife, or that would germinate into new plants.
When chipmunks move into an urban setting, they may conflict with man. In their normal activities, they may dig seeds from the garden, feed on flower bulbs and burrow into lawns, especially near dry rock walls. In lawns, the two- to three-inch diameter burrows descend almost vertically. Burrow openings are cut neatly through the turf and lack excavated soil at the entrance. If the homeowner places a higher value on his garden, lawn, or flowers than on seeing chipmunks, control measures are needed to offset the conflict.
Environmental methodsHomes with wooded lots, thickets of ornamental shrubbery and dry rock walls are attractive to chipmunks. This habitat can be made less attractive to the animals by altering the pattern of natural and ornamental plantings. However, most people value their trees and shrubs too highly for drastic modification of the landscape and may opt to tolerate the chipmunks as a part of the natural community.
RemovalThough chipmunks are protected, they may be trapped or shot when they cause property damage.
Live trapping with small commercial or homemade box traps can reduce their numbers. Once trapped, they should be released at least a mile from the capture area.
Rat-sized snap traps are effective, but they kill the animals. Baits attractive to chipmunks include peanut butter, nut meats, sunflower seeds and rolled oats. Place either type of trap in areas where chipmunks travel or feed.
Chipmunk numbers can be reduced locally. However, new animals may move into vacated habitats. Thus, chipmunks can seldom be eliminated from an area unless their living conditions are radically changed.
Mechanical methodsChipmunks will occasionally enter homes where they are generally more bothersome than destructive. Their entry can be prevented by closing holes in foundation walls and by screening windows, vents and other ground-level openings.
PesticidesPesticides are not suggested for use to control chipmunks.

Fried Chicken Anyone?!?
I normally try to stick to writing no more than a single blog entry a day, but I just had to get my thoughts out about this. I'm guessing that you've already heard about what was occuring in the clubhouse of the Red Sox during some of last months games. If you haven't heard, you're in for a shock. Josh Beckett, Jon Lester and John Lackey spent the games that they weren't pitching in, in the clubhouse chowing down on biscuits and fried chicken, drinking beer, and playing video games. (I at least hope it was MLB 11: The Show.)
Could all of that food and games have caused the Red Sox September demise? Well, maybe. But the behind the scenes eating and drinking, in the clubhouse, more than likely only partially caused the Red Sox playoffs chances to slowly vanish before their eyes. Terry Francona may have not of been fully focused on the prize, due to marital problems he had been having with his wife, Jacque. These marital problems, which ultimately caused Francona to move out and live in a hotel for most of the 2011 season, along with the pain medication he was taking, may have been enough to distract him for much of the season. When confronted about this by the Boston Gobe, Francona strongly denied the statements, saying:
It makes me angry that people say these things because I've busted my [butt] to be the best manager I can be. I wasn't terribly successful this year, but I worked harder and spent more time at the ballpark this year than I ever did.
I kind of agree with Francona. I believe that he's just as much of a professional as any manager in the game. I have a hard time believing that he would allow his personal problems to interfere greatly with his job as the Red Sox manager. No matter the case, Francona was fired as the manager of the Red Sox, on September 30th. Which leaves the question of: What's next for the Red Sox?
With their star pitchers chowing down on junk food, and a manager position to fill what will happen to the Red Sox in the 2012 season? To make matters worse, their GM, Theo Epstein, is reportedly leaving the Sox for the Cubs. (20 million/5 years.) With no general manager, no manager, and star players acting like this is high school ball, do the Red Sox have any shot at success in the 2012 season?

Wow , so really Matt you decided to perpetuate the rumor mill. None of this has been to my knowledge documented or admitted to by anyone. I understand this is the b.s. of the day, I am just a little taken aback that a blogger of you're caliber would even entertain re-writing such nonsense.
The Red Sox were plagued by injuries, bad trades and owners who simply did nothing to change what was happening. Hopefully they will straighten themselves out. I think they have let go of one of the best managers in MLB and they will regret it. Thanks for the read though.

♥ My PhD. Now most times my PhD makes me want to weep. It can be so exhilarating yet so very frustrating at times. But then I remember that I am doing something I wanted to do ever since I was a little girl. And my heart sings with happiness over the fact that I am achieving one of my life's goals!
♥ DH. Is there supposed to be a 4 year or 5 year itch for being married? Well if so, I don't think I will be scratching it any time soon. DH continues to add to my happiness. I feel very fortunate that we have such a happy marriage.
♥ Kindle love. I just cannot get enough of my Kindle!! You may be sick of me raving about it now. But it really is a wonderful little device.
♥ Friends. Although I am separated in distance from a lot of my closest friends I really do appreciate the times that we can chat on the phone, or email, or Skype. There are a lot of exciting things happening in their lives too. Which makes me very happy and very proud! ;-)
♥Longer days. I said I wouldn't moan about winter but I am so excited by the fact that the days are getting longer again. DH says I must not wish away time. But I am sure I am not the only person who is excited that Spring is getting closer!
♥ Driving. I am still having manual driving lessons and I will probably need quite a lot more lessons before I am test ready. But I am making progress and I feel quite happy that I am overcoming this fear. Oh and I so totally rocked the Theory test! Hazard Perception? Bring it on! haha!
Ok lovely people, please share in the comments the things that are making you smile. I hope you have a fabulous day!
P.S. I am planning on revamping my shop with some lovely Italian made handbags. I am waiting on my first small shipment of 6 bags now after receiving 2 excellent and really high quality samples. I am sooooooooooooooo excited! I guess this may be the 7th reason I am smiling today! hehe.

Too Much Time On My Hands
Since the Phillies lost on Wednesday night to the Nationals in rather uninspiring fashion, I didn't really feel moved to write about it yesterday. Yesterday was also an off day, so I had plenty of free time to let my mind wander.
Today's blog is a culmination of that wandering.
Some of you out there may watch "Desperate Housewives." As I watched the most recent episode this past Sunday, I was struck by the similarities in hairstyle between the character Orson Hodge (played by Kyle McLachlan) and our own Phillie, Cole Hamels. See for yourself:
They're even dressed similarly, with sport coat and open collared shirt! Are they both reading the same men's fashion magazines? Do they share a stylist? Just something to mull over…
Recalling a mention of oddly shaped heads in one of Jane's recent She-Fan entries, my mind next wandered to the pairing of Placido Polanco and Phil Collins:
I can't decide which produce item they more closely resemble. Is it:
the cantaloupe?
the watermelon?
or the pumpkin?
For what it's worth, the first two are members of the melon family, while the pumpkin is a gourd.
Also for what it's worth, the title of today's entry is also the title of a really bad Styx song from the 1981 album "Paradise Theatre", which I hesitate to admit I actually owned way back in high school. My taste in music was really bad then.
Tonight, the Phillies take on the Mets at Citizen's Bank Park. C'mon guys, let's kick some Met butt! Make me a happy girl!

Too much time on our hands is a dangerous, dangerous thing! I was a devoted "Desperate Housewives" watcher until the last hiatus. I haven't watched since. I know Edie was killed off, but did they ever catch her crazy husband?
I am going with pumpkin…ha!! Hoping the rain stops!!! On my way to the game….maybe….ugh!
I still like Styx, she says, hiding in the back of the room with her hand raised slightly.🙂
LMAO @ the comparison of Polanco's and Collins' heads! And I remember that Stix song…I liked it back when it came out. LOL
Jane – Evil Dave is still on the loose, now realizing he needs to exact his revenge on Susan, not Mike.
Jenn – Maybe not. It's still raining – yuck!
Julia – not to worry, I won't think less of you. Probably shouldn't admit this, but I still listen to Kiss.
Shelley – I liked it then too. Which produce item gets your vote?

Study Suggests That Immigrants Soaked Up 2/3rds Of The Jobs Gains
(Washington Times) Two-thirds of those who have found employment under President Obama are immigrants, both legal and illegal, according to an analysis that suggests immigration has soaked up a large portion of what little job growth there has been over the past three years.
The Center for Immigration Studies is releasing the study Thursday morning, a day ahead of the final Labor Department unemployment report of the campaign season, which is expected to show a sluggish job market more than three years into the economic recovery.
That slow market, combined with the immigration numbers, could explain why Mr. Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney have struggled to find a winning jobs message in some of the country's hardest-hit postindustrial regions.
"It's extraordinary that most of the employment growth in the last four years has gone to the foreign-born, but what's even more extraordinary is the issue has not even come up during a presidential election that is so focused on jobs," said Steven A. Camarota, the center's research director, who wrote the report along with demographer Karen Zeigler.
His numbers are stark: Since the first quarter of 2009, the number of immigrants of working age (16 to 65) who are employed has risen 2 million, from 21.2 million to 23.2 million. During the same time, native-born employment has risen just 1 million, to reach 119.9 million.
Oh, and speaking of jobs reports, the Labor Department will release it's jobs report on time Friday. ADP has their report out now
Companies added 158,000 jobs in October, data from a payrolls processor showed on Thursday in a revamped report on the private sector labor market.
That sound pretty good, eh? Liberals were ecstatic over that report. But…
The historical data for the ADP National Employment Report was revised as part of the new methodology, which was used for the first time in the October report. September's increase has halved to 88,200 new jobs from an initially reported 162,000.
This is the Obameconomy.

LCH hires ex-Lloyds rates chief for new fixed income post
LCH.Clearnet, the international clearing house owned by the London Stock Exchange, has added a new layer of management in the first major reshuffle under new chief executive Suneel Bakhshi.
Bruce Kellaway has joined the clearer from Lloyds Banking Group as its first global head of fixed income, according to a member notice on Monday. Kellaway, a 20-year veteran at Lloyds, was most recently managing director of rates trading at the UK bank.
Meanwhile, Alberto Pravettoni, previously head of corporate strategy and chief executive officer of repo and exchanges at LCH, has been named to the new role of global head of exchanges, focusing on equities, commodities and listed derivatives, according to the notice.
Both will report jointly into Michael Davie, CEO of LCH.Clearnet Ltd, and Christophe Hemon, CEO of LCH.Clearnet SA, the clearer's UK and French entities.
An LCH spokeswoman confirmed the moves.
LCH said in the notice: "Following a comprehensive review of our services, we have decided to enhance our management focus in order to deliver even better solutions for our members and clients. As a result, we are dedicating additional management resources to our equities, fixed income and exchanges businesses."
One senior European clearing practitioner described Kellaway's hire as a "statement of intent" by LCH in the fixed income market.
Kellaway will oversee businesses including RepoClear, operated by LCH's UK entity, which clears cash bond and repo trades in several European markets; and government bonds, repos and corporate bonds — including Euronext's Bondmatch platform, which is cleared by LCH's French entity.
In addition, Cecile Nagel has been appointed as LCH's global head of equities, reporting to Pravettoni, focusing on equities cash and derivatives. Nagel was most recently head of strategic planning at the LSE.
The hires are some of the first major moves made by Bakhshi, the former president and chief executive of Citigroup Global Markets Japan, who joined earlier this year as the group chief executive of LCH.Clearnet.
Bakshi's remit is to position LCH to become a beneficiary of post-crisis reforms forcing vast swathes of the over-the-counter derivatives market through clearing houses to reduce risk. Rules that require swaps to be guaranteed by clearing houses have already been introduced in the US and will start being introduced in Europe from next year.

A Decent Reply to a Half-Witted Indecent Proposal
Apparently Mr. Krause has learned very little over this grinding 2008 season. While his beloved Detroit Tigers spent the entire year daydreaming about how they were gonna go blow those big bucks they pocketed without deserving them, my colleague Allen also lost sight of the grandest rule of the grandest game on earth: It ain't over 'til it's over.
Just ask the New York Mets.
Or the White Sox for that matter… for different reasons.
While I have no viable reason to eschew your proposal, Mr. Krause, I do find it my duty to kick you in the teeth to remind you that the White Sox are still alive, that the playoff participants have yet to be solidified, and that no matter what deal you bring to the table, I will always be right.
After the White Sox defeat the Twins in Tuesday night's one-off playoff, then you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be on the Southside train all the way to Wrigleyville if it indeed goes in that direction.
Of course, a Second City Classic would be sublime for me as a Chicagoan; however, like the millions of Cub-haters who share my opinion, there is no way in hell I'll ever be rooting for the Northsiders — ever. They could be playing the Munich Hitlers, the Tokyo Hirohitos or the New York Yankees. I still ain't budgin'.
So there you have it. Patience, my friend. After it's all said and done, I'll take much pleasure in proving you wrong just as I've done throughout the grueling 162 game (+1) season.
And to add one bit of finality to another outlandish, unresearched bit of barbarity that escaped your mind without being fully vetted, let me remind you, Mr. Krause, the St. Louis Cardinals finished the season 10 games over .500. Yet still, you found it appropriate to say:
"…the Cards don't deserve to be there because, well, they sucked this season."
Well, not really, Al. The Cardinals had a tremendous year given the circumstances. They finished with a better record this season than they did in 2006 when they won it all. They won 86 games this year with a bullpen reminiscent of my little league team from 1992, including guys whose arms were falling off mid-delivery. You see, Al, the Dodgers are in the playoffs and they were two wins shy of the Cardinals. So, by that logic you'd say that the Dodgers haven't a chance because they "sucked this season" as well?
No. I'll tell you who sucked this season. Your Tigers. They finished dead last in the AL Central. DEAD LAST. BEHIND THE ROYALS.
Good luck with trying to live with that one.
And don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Allen, I'd be steaming if I were you. That was outright assault and battery on your team, dude. (Yikes. I never use the word "dude." I must be inhaling all the testosterone on this blog.)
Jeff, can't wait to see the Dodgers beat up on those Cubs. No Tinkers, No Evers, NO CHANCE!
Here's to year 101!
It's all right, Jane. Don't tell Jeff I told you this but I'm pretty sure he's just trying to overcompensate for something else.
Ahem, I am in the room, Al. Dude!
John – Bleed blue, brother. I got your back. Hopefully the Cubbies will be on theirs.
The Dodgers were two games behind the Cardinals, after playing an unbalanced schedule in the worst division in baseball. The Cardinals routinely played the Cubs, Brewers, and Astros . . . and seriously, the Tigers behind the Royals? That was a low blow, but freaking awesome because it is true, plus the Cardinals have the MVP, has to be Pujols.

Disciplining Teenagers
By Health Day
Raising teenagers can be a real challenge! Many American parents admit, there are times when they scream and yell at their teens. Now a new study suggests it may backfire, and actually aggravate problem behavior.
Researchers looked at what they describe as "harsh verbal discipline when parents use psychological force to cause a child discomfort in an effort to correct or control actions. This can be everything from yelling and shouting to insulting a child in an attempt to humiliate him or her into better behavior.
According to a recent nationally representative survey, approximately 90-percent of the parents surveyed admitted to one or more instances of lashing out verbally with children of all ages. But the harshest discipline, including swearing and name calling, was directed at teens 50-percent of the time.
Using data from nearly 1-thousand two-parent families...researchers found that the kids subjected to harsh verbal discipline at age 13 were more prone to depression, more likely to act out at school, lie, steal and fight.
The authors hope these findings help parents tone down the screaming,,,and instead opt for a more constructive discussion.

We sat down with the star of Reno 911! and the upcoming theatrical release Reno 911!: Miami.
CRACKED: Are we correct in assuming that Reno 911!: Miami is an homage to Police Academy 5: Assignment: Miami Beach
CARLOS ALZARAQUI: It was actually the perfect place for us to be. Going from Reno to Miami, there's limitless fish out of water potential. So in that sense, yeah, it was probably a bit of an homage to Police Academy 5.
You guys actually shoot the show in LA. Have you ever been to Reno?
I had been to Reno in my stand up days, performing at Bally and at The Hilton, so I was familiar with the vibe. It feels like a crystal-meth wasteland. A lot of cement. A lot of 4-wheel-drive trucks. It just has that low self-esteem vibe going through it.
How much of Reno 911! is improvised?
With the show, we'll get an outline for the scene saying something like, 'In this scene Officers Jones and Garcia go to investigate a strange animal in somebody's backyard,' and that's all you're given. So it's not something you can plan out. You're in the character, you're in the moment and you're like 'What the fuck am I supposed to say?'
And was the movie as heavily improvised?
With the movie there was something they called a scriptment, a combination of a script and a treatment, which was to please both the Fox and Paramount executives. I guess they needed to see that there was a story behind the improv. But we still did our random little house calls like on the show.
Were you a fan of The State before you started working with Ben Garrant, Thomas Lennon and Kerri Kenney?
I'd never seen an episode of The State. Looking back, that probably helped me because I'm sure I would have been nervous when I auditioned for them, thinking 'Oh my God, these are the people from The State!' All I knew was these guys were named Ben, Tom and Kerri.
There seems to be at least one instance of fortuitously blurred redneck nudity per episode of Reno 911! We noticed that the movie has an R-rating. Does that mean…
C: Oh yeah. There's foul language, bigger explosions and yes, nudity.
