An impressive recipe for crab cakes loaded with crab! Because I hate when I order crab cakes at a restaurant and only get a piece or two of crab surrounded by lots of stuffing. I only used a tiny bit of filler in mine to hold everything together. I'm pretty certain they are the best crab cakes I've ever eaten. And I'm definitely never ordering them in a restaurant again. There's no comparison!
Each bite was of tender, flaky and flavorful crab. The cornflakes give them a wonderful crust on the outside. I just started using cornflake crumbs and love the way they cook up crunchy and beautiful in color, like golden sunshine. They are a new staple in my cupboard.
Crab has been on sale everywhere for the past few weeks, this is the perfect time to try these out. I wanted to use blue lump crab but they were all sold out, so I used claw meat. Either one would work here. We gobbled these mouth-watering cakes up just as fast as I could get them out of the frying pan. They were absolutely delicious!
East Coast Crab Cakes
(by Reeni)
2/3 cup soft fresh bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
4-5 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 cup yellow onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worchestshire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over
cornflake crumbs
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
In a large bowl mix together the bread crumbs, egg, 4 tablespoons of the mayonnaise, onion, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire, herbs, salt and pepper. Add the crab meat and mix gently. If the mixture seems too dry add the last tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Shape the mixture into six equal patties. Sprinkle some of the cornflake crumbs on a plate and then gently coat the patties shaking off the excess.
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When hot add crab cakes and cook until golden, about 5-7 minutes on each side.
Serve with remoulade, cole slaw and corn on the cob.
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon pickle relish or finely diced pickles
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon tarragon, dried
cayenne pepper, couple of dashes
Whisk all ingredients together, refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour before serving.

It almost seems like atheists don't want to believe in God. Do you just simply not want to believe in God because you don't want to give up your own free will?
ADMIN EDIT: Mercedes has left ThinkAtheist.com on her own accord. This discussion will remain, however do not expect a response from the author.
Views: 12185
Suzanne, have you seen anything on the pain-inflicting devices that in the early 1800s were attached to boys' penises to prevent masturbation?
Can it be that verbal bullying sufficed to discourage women?
The xians who say America was founded on xian principles are not altogether wrong.
The early pages of Sex and Reason (1992, Harvard) by Richard Posner, a Federal appellate court judge and law professor, explain the origins of America's long hostility to sexual pleasure: early America's combined Puritanism (its strict practices and lax rules) and Catholicism (its strict rules and lax practices).
His stated purposes? To awaken the legal profession to "the rich multidisciplinary literature on sexuality--and to shame my colleagues in the profession for ignoring it."
Many straight folk I knew in San Francisco cheered LGBT liberation because we knew their winning freedom would increase freedom for all of us. The struggle continues.
"The xians who say America was founded on xian principles are not altogether wrong."
True, however it's nice to know that we have grown as a society past slavery, women subjugation, and burning people at the stake as 'witches'. None of the civilized behavior that this country was based on has anything to do with the xian (or any other) religion. Religion abhors freedom, free thinking and education and xianity was and still is definitely no different.
This country was much more built on Grecian principles of Democracy than anything to do with the puritan's religion that first settled here.
"This country was much more built on Grecian principles of Democracy than anything to do with the puritan's religion that first settled here."
Considering only ideas, not practices, let's review a bit of history:
In ancient Greece only free men voted. In America until about 1840, only white men who owned real estate property voted.
Keith, can you add any ideas that will justify your much more built on Grecian principles claim?
Now, briefly, let's consider practices and see a Puritan influence.
For people who questioned Puritan leaders, remaining in Massachusetts was dangerous to their continued existence.
Returning to Massachusetts after the Puritans had expelled them was more dangerous to their continued existence.
One history of early America said the Puritans stopped burning witches when the governor protested their intention to burn his wife.
Richard A. Posner, in Sex and Reason, made a stronger case than you have so far made.
Ask for so much proof????? I asked for any proof and am still waiting
"Do you just simply not want to believe in God because you don't want to give up your own free will?"
I can't say I have looked carefully at all responses but did who noticed her desire to give up her ability to act independently and freely?
I was kind of confused by that question, because according to the accepted story, God supposedly gives us free will.
So I would think that a theist would see it the opposite way. Not believing in God would be losing our source of free will.
Perhaps this was a Freudian slip?
I think the point is that doG (I LOVE that spelling! LOL) gives us free will, but if we use it "wrong", we'll be punished for all eternity. We can't be punished for all eternity like most xians would like if we don't have the freedom of will to reject god in the first place. If you have free will, but reject it in order to self-impose slavery, then you're doing it right and you get praised for it. If you exercise the free will that doG gave you, then you get punished. If you read the bible and accept the doG that the xians do, this actually makes perfect sense. LOL
And Mercedes is back, I believe the God of the bible is as real as all the gods before it and the gods it was copied from. How did Adam and Eve populate the world with their two sons?
That was the original meaning of "a family affair" --
Family values, keeping it in the family, move two letters in "incest" and get "nicest", and surely a few more.
Was Cain or Abel hermaphroditic? (The term "intersex" is now also used.)
I think the books that nicely sum up reasons why I don't believe in a god(s) are:
1) Atheism, The Case Against God (Smith)
2) The Impossibility of God
3) Atheism, A Philosophical Justification (Martin)
4) God, The Failed Hypothesis (Stenger)
And, The Portable Atheist has some good essays, imo, as well.

I have a G1G1 XO, end 2007, factory build 650. Is my symptom a variation of the 'RTC fix-clock bricked issue', or some problem else? Thing is mine has its battery and power indicators staying on even after pressing power on button. And there is nothing on the display screen. No boot up sound either. Battery LED is orange in color even when battery is removed from the compartment with the XO running on AC mains. This remains the situation with either the AC power chord or the battery connected, or both. Both LEDS turn off only on disconnecting both the power supplies. Pressing the power on button merely dims the orange color with the green power indicator dissapearing (or getting too dim to be visible?) momentarily. Both come back on releasing the finger.
I was working with just the battery connected mid last week when the m/c shut down all by itself, and since then have been observing all that described above. More details on a response, else post becomes too long.

Kristen Stewart 'Elle' UK Cover Leaks: Is It Real?
We can't wait to see the star on the June cover on the mag, and while this version surfaced we aren't convinced that it's the real thing — get a first look and read on to find out why we think it's fake!
While Kristen Stewart traveled around Europe, taking in shows during Paris Fashion Week and spending time with her boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, she also made time to shoot with Elle UK, for their June 2012 cover — and the mag graciously shared behind-the-scenes pics while the star herself was on set on their twitter account! We got to check out the gorgeous, ethereal garden setting and the pretty, summery wardrobe — and this 'leaked cover' isn't consistent with the shoot at all!
While it surfaced somewhere in the twittersphere, there was even a second version that spelled Kristen's name wrong, (it said Kristin). The set was a gorgeous garden and the clothing was colorful — in fact, there was only one black dress on the rack and it didn't look anything like the one she's wearing here! The colorful pumps, sunglasses, and pretty 'K' jewelry isn't anywhere in site. After closely examining the most recent Elle UK cover, I also noticed that the barcode is way too big.
What do you think? Could this edgy shot of Kristen really be the leaked June cover or is it a total fake?

Sears Scores 17 Points To Pace Yale
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Yale was in the midst of a big comeback with six minutes left in Saturday's Ivy League game at Brown. The Bulldogs had cut what was once an 18-point deficit down to eight and seemed to have momentum of their side.
Sean McGonagill put an end to that in a hurry. McGonagill converted a four-point play and then hit a three-pointer on Brown's next possession. Just like that, the Bears were up by 15 points, and from there they cruised to a 73-56 victory before a crowd of 1,868 at the Pizzitola Center.
McGonagill, the Ivy League's leading scorer, finished with 29 points. He was 8-of-11 from the field, including 7-of-9 from three-point range. He did all that despite picking up two early fouls and playing only seven minutes in the first half.
"He was terrific," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball. "Every time we made a mistake, he hurt us."
Justin Sears scored 17 points to pace the Bulldogs, who were looking to sweep the season series from Brown. Yale beat the Bears 74-67 last Saturday in New Haven.
McGonagill was good last week, finishing with 17 points, but he had to work hard to get them. He was 5-of-13 from the field, played all 40 minutes and committed six turnovers. He did not have a turnover in the rematch and his shots were more in the rhythm of the offense.
Yale, meanwhile, struggled offensively. The Bulldogs shot just 36.2 percent from the field in the game and were 3-of-17 from three-point range.
"We did a poor job of finding guys," Jones said.
Yale (7-9, 1-1 Ivy) managed to get to the free throw line 38 times but made only 19.
The Bulldogs were just 9-of-19 from the foul line in the first half and found themselves trailing 38-25 at the intermission.
Yale slowly clawed its way back into the game in the second half. Two free throws from Sears had the Bulldogs within five, 52-47, with eight minutes left. That was as close as they would get, thanks in large part to McGonagill.
"We missed free throws throughout the first half, and that hurt us," Jones said. "In the second half we were better, and we had our chances."
Javier Duren (13 points) and Armani Cotton (12) also finished in double figures for the Bulldogs.
Dockery Walker contributed 10 points for Brown (9-7, 1-1 Ivy).
NOTES: Jones took part in a brief ceremony prior to the game that honored Newport, R.I., native Heather Abbott, a survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing. She presented the game ball to the officials… Both coaching staffs wore sneakers to support the Coaches vs. Cancer® program as part of the 11th annual Suits & Sneakers weekend. By wearing sneakers, participating coaches help raise awareness about cancer and the importance that nutrition and physical activity play in reducing one's risk of the disease… Brown outrebounded the Bulldogs 40-30 in the game… Yale returns home to host Columbia next Friday at 7 p.m. The Lions are 2-0 in the league after this afternoon's win at Cornell.

In 2011, the state wrote off $110.5 million and $109 million the year before. What? Does anyone realize how far that money could go to help the homeless and children?
The Dec. 25 News-Journal had a story on the front page of the Local section about two groups that got together to give food and lodging to homeless vets. Thank God for these wonderful people, and everyone who gives to those who have little — and sometimes nothing.
But on page 3C, there's an article on how the state of Florida is "forgiving" taxes and fines in the amount of $124.2 million of various companies, corporations, health care providers, people who were overpaid unemployment benefits, and even some elected public officials.
In 2011, the state wrote off $110.5 million and $109 million the year before. What? Does anyone realize how far that money could go to help the homeless and children who go to bed hungry every night in the richest country in the world?
Names and addresses of the people who owe this money are kept confidential under state law. I am outraged by this entire situation, and encourage everyone else that this offends to contact their representatives in the Legislature and demand that something be done so this abuse stops.

To those of you who agree with or support the groups pushing the gun-control laws: All of you are apparently lacking the common sense you should possess in order to debate the subject. First, as always, the weapon did not commit an act of violence nor did the ammunition, the person in possession of the weapon did.
The legislation being proposed to control guns, ammunition, magazine limits, etc., has no bearing on the subject of the crime committed, due to the fact that this most recent crime could be committed with any weapon, not just the ones named.
Sadly, the fact is there is no way we can ever stop this from happening again. We could ban all firearms and eventually someone is going to commit this action again using whatever is at their disposal.
The truth is we have taken life throughout history, but our government officials see this tragedy as an opportunity to get on the soapbox, create more government, and spend more money. The only logical proposals that have followed this recent event are the tightening of school security.
If these new gun laws are enacted, we will not have removed a threat so long as there are still troubled people among us. We have already instituted gun laws, and yet we still hear of gun violence quite frequently, so before jumping in and backing this next level of government control, educate yourselves on who you are actually helping and what it will cost us all.
The front section of The News-Journal on Christmas Day contained the following articles, all on the same page: "Police officer among 2 shot dead in Texas," "Officer death: killed while still on duty," "New York gunman set trap for firefighters."
In the first two instances, the victims were armed, trained and on duty. Their weapons did them no good. In the third case, an automatic rifle was used on unsuspecting firefighters. In talking about armed protection of our schools, remember that the federal building blown up by Timothy McVeigh had armed guards. Their weapons did them no good either.
To the proponents of armed guards in our schools, I have only one question. How will your handguns hold up against a semi-automatic rifle with a 30-bullet magazine? Or will you issue them AR-15 semi-automatic rifles for our kids to see?
Ormond Beach
Guns can't hurt and kill people, but as the saying goes, people hurt and kill people. The end-all solution is not to change the gun laws, because there are way too many guns out there already, and if someone wants a gun they will get one from somewhere.
Besides, not all violence against people involves a gun. The true problem is that people think it is OK to hurt and kill others. Human life has become desensitized. I believe the entertainment industry is the reason people do not value human life the way they should.
The entertainment industry has placed the value of human life on a downward spiral. Video games have become laced with violence and killing. Movies that contained violence and killing that were restricted to an R rating are now classified as PG. Prime time television has become sex talk and innuendos. Certain music genres are filled with violence, vulgar language and degradation to women.
Younger minds are being exposed to this 24/7. It is giving children and young adults a completely different perception of society and human life than previous generations. It may present itself as make-believe, but monitor how many hours individuals place themselves in front of these media depictions. Between video games and social media, who talks to anyone anymore, or even gets fresh air? It is going to have a negative effect, and become dangerous for people that don't have the mental capacity to separate make-believe from reality.
I am all for strengthening the gun laws but the desensitizing of human life and the dumbing-down of America has become the responsibility of the entertainment industry. Regulations need to be put in place or we can kiss civility goodbye.
Ormond Beach
Why do we always wait until something awful happens before we take action?
Palm Coast
I propose a New Year's resolution for all Americans: Drop the hyphenation when identifying your nationality. Let's all be good old-fashioned Americans!
That means an end to describing ourselves (in alphabetical order) as African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, Portuguese-Americans, Russian-Americans, etc.
My ancestors, arriving at Ellis Island in the early 1900s, were proud to be Americans and never hyphenated their nationality.
Get the idea? Let's focus on what we have in common, which is probably more than our differences. And it may just help with the healing of our great country before it's too late.

Natasha Wicks: Fulfilling Your Schoolgirl/Golf Caddy Fetishes for Only $400
('I do declare, Mr. Beauregard!' Photo courtesy of Waters Golf.)
A few weeks ago we were a little surprised to learn that UFC Octagon girl Natasha Wicks has a side job as a caddy at a Las Vegas golf course. Not that it would be the worst job one of the UFC's professional hot chicks ever held, it just seemed a little strange. Well, those clever wags at Fightlinker located the website where you can go to rent Natasha's services on the links (for $400), and wouldn't you know it, there are plenty of photos of her that perfectly straddle the line between sexy and ridiculous, which is just how we like our women. For example, the above image proves that she can pretend to like you as she laughs at your stupid jokes and uses hand gestures to keep you from noticing the lack of sincerity in her eyes. In the business, that little move is known as 'The Scarlett O'Hara.'
After the jump, she demonstrates why you probably shouldn't hire her if you take your golf really seriously. Or if you're bringing your wife along. Of course, if Natasha isn't your type you can also get former Penthouse Pet Erica Ellyson (totally NSFW).Read More DIGG THIS

Quote from Must-Have Bathroom Accessories to Give Comfortable Effect :
Many people don't pay attention too much to their bathrooms. They make their bathroom functional but poor in decoration. Many people just have plain bathrooms and don't think of considering it as a place to hide from the world for a moment. Those wanting to make their bathroom the coziest place in the house should add bathroom accessories to it.

I have pitched several projects to Jo over the past few years and found him the only VC who:
a) added value to my proposal with good questions and suggestions or connections even if he himself decided not to invest
b) was up-front and honest with me throughout the entire process. with Jo, you always know where you stand. He doesn't play any games - he's trustworthy and to me as an entrepreneur, that's key.

Our client relationships are built on trust, partnership and shared goals.
Depth Where it Counts. We address our clients' aspirational goals and needs with multi-disciplinary teams of attorneys including the sophisticated litigators, transactional and government/regulatory attorneys our clients rely on.
Bricker's culture promotes and embraces the need to conduct work for charitable, civic and community organizations. We greet pro bono matters with diligence and enthusiasm, and by giving our attorneys billable hour credit for these activities, they are respected with the same value and credibility as other work.

As a firm and as individuals, we support our communities through active involvement in local organizations and programs.

One of the most significant ways Bricker & Eckler gives back to the communities we serve is through an annual gift. For more information, visit the "Anniversary Gift" tab.
At Bricker & Eckler, we give gifts on our birthday.
The Anniversary Gift is our way of saying "thank you" to the community that has cheered us on for more than seven decades. We like to support the people who support us by growing initiatives that improve our communities in key areas. So, each year, we celebrate by giving $25,000 to one or more non-profit organizations supporting a cause that we care about.
This year, we are once again focusing on Education. Education is a topic our attorneys and staff, as well as our clients, rally behind. With the single largest legal group in Ohio dedicated specifically to education, Bricker & Eckler represents a wide range of educational entities, including well over 200 public school districts, numerous educational service centers and institutions of higher learning. We understand the challenges they face and are looking to support initiatives that will enhance the great work they do every day.
Another year for Bricker & Eckler means another year of giving back. It's a birthday gift for all to enjoy.
The application process for the 2018 Anniversary Gift is now closed. If you would like to be notified of the next opportunity to submit an application, please email us at email@example.com.
In choosing our Anniversary Gift winners, we employ the following evaluation criteria:
- The project will have a genuine impact on a critical community need.
- The request is a solid fit for Bricker's focus. (Focus is determined each year.)
- The impact of the project aligns with the geographic regions in which Bricker does business.
- Additional collaboration with Bricker and other non-profit organizations would further the project's success.
- Additional donors (existing or potential) support the initiative.
- A naming opportunity for Bricker & Eckler exists within the proposed project.
For questions about the application process, contact Jill Clark at 614.227.8828 or email@example.com.
Congratulations to our 2016 Anniversary Gift recipient:

This gift will be used to support girls' participation in the ROX 20-week evidence-based program in schools throughout the state of Ohio and will provide tools and resources for educators and parents to better connect with and support the girls in their lives.
The Founders of the Firm
The firm was founded in Columbus Ohio in 1945 by John W. Bricker, Ralph Marburger, William S. Evatt, and Robert Barton.
John Bricker was born on September 6, 1893 and attended one-room rural schools until he entered Mt. Sterling High School. Bricker earned money to attend college by teaching eight grades at a local school for $45 a month. He earned an additional $5 for serving as its janitor. He farmed on weekends and during vacation. Bricker enrolled in the college of arts, philosophy and science at Ohio State University in September 1912. During his sophomore year, Bricker was the catcher on the varsity baseball team and, during his senior year, was elected class president. He was also a member of the varsity debating team, was initiated into Delta Chi fraternity and was elected to Sphinx, the senior men's honor society. He received his BA degree in June of 1916 and continued at Ohio State to earn his law degree. His first public office was that of solicitor of the village of Grandview Heights, a Columbus suburb, in 1920.
During his almost 40 years of public service, John Bricker served as Ohio Attorney General (1933-1937), three two-year terms as Ohio governor (1939-1945), and two terms as a United States Senator (1947-1959). Additionally, he was Thomas E. Dewey's running mate in the 1944 presidential election, won by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Bricker also served as president of The Ohio State University Board of Trustees. Known by his colleagues as "the Senator," Bricker remained an active presence in the firm until his death in 1986. Several books have been written about his extraordinary career, including Bricker of Ohio: The Man and His Record by Karl Pauly (G.P.Putnam's Sons NY 1944) and Defender of the Old Guard: John Bricker and American Politics by Richard O. Davies (Ohio State University Press, Columbus 1993) and his legacy continues in Bricker Hall on the oval of Ohio State University and the Bricker Building at the Ohio Expo Center.
Ralph Marburger, another of the firm's original founders, came from the Ohio Bell Telephone Company, where he was general counsel. He died in the early 1950s.
Bill Evatt served in the Attorney General's office for many years and had served under John Bricker when he was Attorney General. When Bill was in the Attorney General's office, bonds issued by the state and municipal subdivisions in Ohio had to be accompanied by an opinion of the Attorney General as to their validity. Bill was in charge of reviewing the proceedings and preparing the opinion letter. He acquired both the knowledge and reputation as a premier bond authority in Ohio. Later, John Bricker, as Governor, appointed Bill Evatt to be state tax commissioner. In that capacity, Bill was responsible for litigating a number of cases which established important precedents in Ohio tax matters. When Bricker, Marburger, Evatt and Barton was formed, Bill determined to establish a bond practice, and by the middle 1950s the firm's bond practice was well established.
Bill Evatt was a U.S. Navy officer in World War I, serving on board a ship in the North Atlantic. His wife, Harriet, was a well-known author of children's books. She also was an artist, and some of her paintings continue to hang in the firm's Columbus office. Bill Evatt died in 1970.
The fourth founding member of the firm, Bob Barton, probably was the best known lawyer of the original group. During the time that John Bricker was in the Senate -- from 1947 through 1959 -- Bob Barton was so prominent in the Columbus community that the firm was known as the "Barton firm." Bob had been with John Bricker in both the Attorney General's office and the Governor's office. Like the other founders, Bob was active politically. He also had extremely strong practical skills as a lawyer. Through his hard work and success, he became recognized as one of the best known trial lawyers in Columbus. Bob Barton died in 1972.
The Early Years
John A. Eckler grew up in Elyria, Ohio, and attended college at Ohio Wesleyan University, where he majored in mathematics. At Ohio Wesleyan he met his future wife Mary Rickey, daughter of the baseball general manager Branch Rickey, also a member of the Ohio Wesleyan family. From Ohio Wesleyan, John went on to the University of Chicago Law School, where he was an outstanding student and an editor of the University of Chicago Law Review, graduating in 1938. John loved the University of Chicago, and enjoyed a close relationship with many of the members of the faculty throughout his career.
During the summers, John worked in various jobs for the baseball teams with which Mr. Rickey was associated, notably the St. Louis Cardinals. He enjoyed a close relationship with a number of the baseball players, including Jackie Robinson and his wife. He started his law practice with a distinguished firm in Chicago, but his practice was interrupted by World War II. John joined the United States Navy and became the commander of a sub chaser in the South Pacific.
Upon his discharge from the Navy, John and his wife decided to return to Ohio. John had heard that John Bricker had formed a new firm, and he approached Messrs. Bricker, et al. about the opportunity to come to work for them. He joined the firm in 1946. In 1948, Bricker was elected to the United States Senate, taking John Eckler to Washington with him as his executive assistant. John thoroughly enjoyed the Washington experience; however, after two years, he opted for a legal career, returning to Columbus and beginning the remarkably successful law career that provided much impetus for the future growth of the firm.
John also was very active in community affairs. He was president of the Columbus Bar Association in 1958 and was active in both the Ohio State Bar Association and the American Bar Association. He was a bar examiner for the Supreme Court of Ohio, and one of his most treasured accomplishments was his service as president of the American Association of Bar Examiners, where he played a key role in developing the multi-state bar examination. John remained active in the firm through its move to the Old, Old Post Office and died in 1994.
In the mid 1950s, Richard P. Niehoff joined the firm, which then became Bricker, Evatt, Barton, Eckler & Niehoff. As the chief Ohio fund-raiser for the Republican party, Dick Niehoff had statewide political influence. Dick Niehoff was followed to the firm in January 1955 by Dick Pickett, who had forsaken an accounting career to attend law school and was signed up following graduation. Eventually, Dick concentrated his practice in real estate financing and urban renewal law. A licensed pilot with an instrument rating, Dick flew his own plane extensively in his law practice.
By the mid-1960s, Bill Chadeayne and John Selby had joined the firm to do bond work, Bill Leighner joined the firm to do tax work, and Clayton Hoskins left his position as house counsel at Industrial Nucleonics Corporation to develop a securities practice. Bill Leighner served for years as the firm's administrative partner and was one of the committee of four who were the firm's contacts with the architects and engineers who refurbished the Old, Old Post Office in 1984-86.
The early years of the firm's existence were dominated by the original founders and lawyers who went directly from law school to the firm. Russell Leach joined the firm in 1966 after stepping down from his position as municipal court judge. Russ had been appointed an assistant city attorney in 1951, and was appointed Columbus city attorney in 1957. He was appointed to the municipal bench in 1963 and was elected to the post the same year. Russ was the son of Common Pleas Court judge Charles A. Leach. Russ's brother, Bob, was also a lawyer and served for a time as a justice of the Ohio Supreme Court. Russ was elected president of the Columbus Bar Association for 1973. He was chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party for several years. In 1983, he received the Columbus Bar Association Bar Service Medal, the highest award the Columbus Bar Association could bestow on one of its members. After retirement from the firm and until his death in 2002, Russ sat by Ohio Supreme Court appointment as a judge on the Ohio Court of Claims.
Beginning in the early 1970s, the firm began a period of steady growth. In 1972, having practiced for 31 years at another Columbus firm, Bruce Lynn joined Bricker & Eckler as a partner and brought with him a successful trial practice in corporate and malpractice defense law. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1941, following his undergraduate work at Ohio State. At Ohio State he was a member of the honoraries of each class: Romophos; Bucket and Dipper; and Sphinx, and he was a member of Phi Gamma Delta social fraternity. Bruce was president of the Columbus Bar Association in 1956, a member of the Ohio State Bar Association House of Delegates from 1957 to 1966, and a member of the Bar Association's Executive Committee from 1966 to 1969. He was also a Regent of the American College of Trial Lawyers.
In addition to his legal talents, Bruce was well known as a photographer, specializing in travel pictures. He published four color picture books on the Caribbean and furnished the photographs for four Caribbean travel supplements of the New York Times. His pictures appeared in the Yachting and Motor Boating and Sailing magazines. In 1974, when Grenada received its independence from Great Britain, he was the official government photographer for the week-long celebration. Later, a picture he had taken of a yacht in the harbor at St. Georges was reproduced on a 75¢ Grenada postage stamp. A few years later, the government of St. Vincent chose an aerial photo of Young Island, St. Vincent, which he had taken, for a reproduction on a 65¢ postage stamp. Many of his photographs are displayed at the firm, in his office and on the walls of several conference rooms.
The Later Years
The firm's first offices were first located in the A.I.U. Building, better known today as the LeVeque Tower, at 50 West Broad Street. Much of the initial furniture was purchased used. Although well-worn, it was sturdy and serviceable, as evidenced by the fact that some pieces survived to the move to the Old, Old Post Office and still can be found in the building today.
In 1964, the firm had outgrown the space in the "Tower" and the firm moved to John Galbreath's new headquarters building at 100 East Broad Street. During this period the law firm grew to approximately 60 lawyers and changed its name to Bricker & Eckler (January 1, 1978). Finally, in 1986, the firm moved to the Old, Old Post Office at 100 South Third Street.
Moving to the Old, Old Post Office
Bricker & Eckler's history became intertwined with an important Columbus landmark in 1983. That year, the firm first approached the city of Columbus to discuss acquisition of the Old, Old Post Office.
The site for the first United States Courthouse and Post Office, on the southeast corner of State and Third Streets, was originally purchased by the federal government in 1882. A contract for the foundation was awarded on November 14, 1883, and the cornerstone was laid on October 21, 1884 during an elaborate ceremony conducted by the Grand Lodge of the Free and Accepted Masons. The Mayor of Columbus, city dignitaries, the postmaster, and the building's architect, John T. Harris, were all present at the ceremony. Construction of the building continued and, finally, the post office, federal courts, and other federal agencies moved in on October 1, 1887.
As the first federal building in Columbus, this was a symbol of the city's growing influence. Federal offices had outgrown the building by the early 1900s, resulting in the 1912 addition which more than doubled the size of the building. President William Howard Taft, a native of Ohio, came to Columbus to dedicate the newly expanded building.
One of the few remaining structures in downtown Columbus that dates back to the 19th century, the building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. But by the early 1980s, the building that once confirmed the capital city's importance as a busy commercial center was a deteriorating structure without purpose. It had lost many of its federal functions to newer United States post offices and courthouses.
Bricker & Eckler was determined to save the building and restore it to its original grandeur. In 1984, using an innovative and complex financing structure entirely funded by Bricker & Eckler, the city purchased the building from the U.S. General Services Administration and leased it to the firm for an extended period.
The firm appointed four of its partners to work with the architect and engineers. They were Bruce Lynn, Bill Leighner, Ed Moore and Rich Simpson. In addition, the firm hired experts in stone masonry, carpenters, architects, and historic preservation specialists to take it through the restoration process. Bricker & Eckler attorneys solved the intricate legal and financing problems posed by the project.
Much of the restoration work focused on undoing the unfortunate modernization of the building undertaken by the federal government in previous years. Valuable ornamentation discovered during this process was restored, preserving the historic flavor of the building.
The first gala in 1985 was to mark the beginning of the restoration of the Old, Old Post Office. The day after the celebration, workmen moved in to start the job of dismantling much of the interior. Refreshments were served from rough boards thrown across saw horses. Champagne was kept cold in wheelbarrows filled with ice.
A second gala held in 1986 celebrated completion of the restoration. Speeches were delivered from the front steps and those present included such dignitaries as former President Gerald Ford, Federal District Judge Joseph Kinneary, John Galbreath, and Ohio State University's legendary coach Woody Hayes. Russ Leach, as master of ceremonies, presented Ford with an OSU Buckeyes jacket and scarlet and gray cap that was immediately refused by that loyal alumnus of the University of Michigan.
The Future
We have seen many changes in the practice of law since the firm's founding in 1945 and will see many more in the years ahead. What started out as a four attorney firm, today, is a law firm of over 150 attorneys with diverse backgrounds and experience. We have seen our firm grow from being a Columbus firm to a regionally and nationally recognized firm with office throughout Ohio's urban and rural areas
Although change has been, and will continue to be, a certainty — some things haven't changed. We are proud of our cultural diversity. We have a history of hiring the first minority partner in Columbus, of retaining our minority and women attorneys through partnership, and electing women and minorities to leadership positions within firm management so that the firm, from top to bottom, is reflective of the communities we serve. The firm's democratic tradition is an equally important part of our culture. Our philosophy is that each of us is one among equals. With the immense presence of our founders, especially John Eckler, who is still a powerful influence within the firm, our goal is to maintain for our successors the cultural and philosophical legacy left to us by those who have preceded us as part of this firm.

Anakinra (Kineret) is used to treat adults with pain and swelling caused by moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have not found relief from other treatments.
How Does Anakinra Work?
Anakinra blocks the action of the protein interleukin-1 (IL-1). IL-1 is produced in excessive amounts in people with RA. High levels of IL-1 contribute to the joint pain, swelling, and stiffness of RA. By blocking IL-1, anakinra can help reduce these symptoms.
You may need to take anakinra for several weeks before your RA symptoms begin to improve.
How Should I Take This Medication?
Anakinra is given once a day as an injection. If you are prescribed anakinra, a member of your healthcare team will teach you how to give yourself the injection so that you can do it at home.
What Are the Side Effects?
The main side effect of this drug is mild redness, swelling, and pain at the injection site. Other side effects include:
- Infections (anakinra suppresses the immune system)
- Headache
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Flu-like symptoms
- Abdominal pain
- Low white blood cell count
Who Should Not Take Anakinra?
Anakinra is not for everyone with RA. Talk to your doctor before taking anakinra if you:
- Have a fever or think you may have an infection
- Are taking certain medications, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers, such as adalimumab, etanercept, or infliximab
- Are allergic to proteins made from bacteria cells or any ingredient in the medication
- Have a latex allergy
- Have asthma, HIV infection, or kidney disease
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
If you are prescribed anakinra, there are other precautions that you should take, such as:
- Telling your doctor or dentist that you are taking anakinra before you have a procedure
- Talking to your doctor before you have a live virus vaccine
If you have tried other RA medications and have not had any relief from your symptoms, talk to your doctor to find out if anakinra is a good option for you.

1 1/2 cups hummus
1 cup tzatziki (cucumber yogurt dip)
1 cup tomato (diced and mixed with 1 tablesoon lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon oregano)
1/2 cup cucumber (cut into small pieces)
1/4 cup red onions (diced)
1/4 cup feta (crumbled)
1/4 cup kalamata olives (pitted and coarsely chopped)
1 handful mint (chopped)
4 whole wheat pitas (cut into triangles and toasted until just crispy)
1. Assemble dip starting with the hummus and stacking each ingredient on top of the last
A tater tot, wrapped in bacon? Yes, please! If only to see the curious looks of guests as they ask what these are and eagerly try one!
12 strips of center-cut bacon, cut in half
24 small chunks of sharp cheddar cheese (1/2-inch x 1/4-inch)
Tabasco sauce
*Variations: add a piece of pickle on top of the cheese. Roll the bacon-wrapped tater tot in brown sugar before baking to add a little sweet flavor to this (my favorite way to make these)- just make sure you don't over-bake them though or the sugar will make them burn. Or try replacing the cheddar cheese with cream cheese and a piece of pepperoncini.
*Make ahead tip: Assemble these a few hours ahead, place them on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and bake when ready.
*Try serving them up with a spicy sour cream dip- sour cream mixed with a little bit of Tabasco sauce.
Always a hit! And you can make this as spicy was you want.
- You can transfer this mix to a crockpot to keep it warm if needed.
Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites
Soft Pretzels:
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 package active dry yeast
3 ounces unsalted butter, melted
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil
3 quarts water
3/4 cup baking soda
1 whole egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon cold water
Coarse sea salt
For the cheese sauce:
½ Tablespoon unsalted butter
½ Tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ cup milk
8 ounces Cheddar cheese, grated
For the Pretzels: Combine the water, sugar, yeast, and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix with the dough hook until combined. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Add the salt and flour and mix on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium and continue kneading until the dough is smooth and begins to pull away from the side of the bowl, about 3 to 4 minutes. If the dough appears too wet, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Remove the dough from the bowl, place on a flat surface and knead into a ball with your hands.
Oil a bowl with vegetable oil, add the dough and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm spot until the dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Bring the water to a boil in a small roasting pan over high heat and add the baking soda.
Remove the dough from the bowl and place on a flat surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, about 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 ounces each. Roll each piece into a long rope measuring 22 inches and shape. Cut the dough into one inch pieces to make the pretzel bites. Boil the pretzel bites in the water solution in batches. We did about 15 bites at a time. Boil for about 30 seconds. Remove with a large slotted spoon. Place pretzel bites on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Make sure they are not touching. Brush the tops with the egg wash and season liberally with the salt. Place into the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
Remove to a baking rack and let rest 5 minutes before eating. Serve with cheese sauce.
To make the cheese sauce:
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and cook until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the Cheddar cheese until smooth and all of the cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
*If you want to make cinnamon and sugar pretzel bites-instead of adding salt, sprinkle the bites with cinnamon and sugar. For the frosting mix-soft cream cheese-about 3 T, powdered sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a little bit of milk. Whisk together. Add more milk if it is too thick, if it is too thin, add more powdered sugar. I don't measure. I just guess until the consistency is right.*
Recipe makes a lot of bites-perfect for sharing!
Chicken Enchilada Dip Roll-Ups
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Mexican blend, pepper jack, etc.)
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
2 tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. cumin
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
Salt, to taste
Handful of cilantro, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
10 oz. can diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained well
4-6 8-inch tortillas
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
In the meantime, combine all of the remaining ingredients except tortillas in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well blended. Once the chicken is cool, transfer to a cutting board and chop or shred into small pieces. Add the chicken to the filling mixture and stir well to incorporate.
Spread a thin layer of the filling mixture over a tortilla, leaving a small border clear around the edge. Roll the tortilla up tightly into a spiral. Place the rolled up tortilla on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut into 1- to 1½-inch thick segments. Transfer to a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.

1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. butter or margarine, cut into pieces
1/3 – 1/2 c. milk
1 lb. bulk pork sausage, cooked, drained and crumbled small
2 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter or margarine until crumbly. Add milk as need until a soft but not sticky dough forms. Knead dough one minute.

Cuteggregator: Cute Animals Licking Lollipops For National Lollipop Day!
Time to bust out your Tootsies, your Blow Pops, and your classic Dum Dums, because today my friends, is National Lollipop Day. This information has been wired directly from the NCA: Making Life Sweeter Since 1884. (National Confectioners Association, get with the program.)
Every year, just five days after National Gummi Worm Day (what, you didn't celebrate?) and eight days before National Milk Chocolate Day, on June 20, lies this sweetest of holidays. According to my most trusted ally in historical research, Wikipedia, the exact origin of the lollipop has been debated throughout the ages, but the term may have been derived from the terms lolly ("tongue") and pop ("slap"). Perhaps people were confused by the first lollipop, and simply smacked it against their tongues in hopes of deriving some flavor? Who's to say?
Luckily, by now people have figured out the most effective way to enjoy lollipops. And apparently, some animals have too! So in honor of National Lollipop day, please enjoy a variety of cute animals enjoying lollipops of their very own. Hopefully they didn't get sick from the sugar.

Has Robby considered making at run at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in one of theTrophy trucks?
Views: 1151
Starting this year the entire course is paved so might as well just bring a Cup/NNS car.
96 years of racing tradition paved over for the sake of tour buses and so Chad Yuppie doesn't get his Crocs dirty.
I was think'n why bother
Exactly. It's the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in name only. RIP.
Regarding the paving of Pikes Peak, you can thank the Sierra club for that. BTW for those who donate money to wildlife funds or to keep our lands open. Please take the time to read the fine print and to see where your money is really going. You might think you are donating to keep your land open, but what is really happening is the money is given to org's like the Sierra Club, who are actually closing land to protect us from ourselves.
Sierra Club vs.Pikes Peak;
Litigation was pursued by the Sierra Club in 1998-1999, on grounds of environmental damage from the gravel portion of the road.The environmental damage is caused primarily by the 150 million pounds of gravel that washes away annually. The same amount needs to be hauled up the mountain each year in order to maintain the road surface. Environmental damage includes alpine ponds and wetlands becoming filled with gravel, and layers of gravel averaging 2-4 feet deep covering the forest floor below. Pursuant to the settlement agreed by the Sierra Club and the City of Colorado Springs, the unpaved portion of the Pikes Peak Highway is slated to become a hard-surface road. The completion of the paving is scheduled to be done in 2012.
Just more tree hugger bullshit this race has been ruined and you know the SC couldnt be happier before long all off road event's in the US. will have to take place on reservation or privately held lands I know the ASA and other groups are fighting hard to keep public lands open but the environmental groups are well organized and have very deep pockets.
Save The Forest. Conserve Paper. Wipe your Ass with an Environmentalist.
Sierra Club: Hike to hell. :-0
I think a 2-day race could be good. Bikes/Quads/UTVs/buggies as well as the slower classes on one day & then all the high end/high-tech fast cars/trucks for the following day.

I [Jesus] am he which searcheth the reins [kidneys] and hearts. Revelation 2:23Yes, it's true. Jesus is going to search through your kidneys. And if he doesn't like what he finds there, he's going to send you to hell.
So, if my Dad had a cancerous kidney removed (he did) did he lose his soul, or half, or did it just magically jesus-transfer to the other kidney?
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.

Because most cervical cancer cases and some less common malignancies are caused by human papillomavirus, or HPV, area physicians and public health experts were thrilled when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2006 approved the first vaccine to prevent HPV.
But five years later, local pediatricians and family physicians say they still see scores of teen girls who have not been vaccinated.
It's not just a local problem. A nationwide survey of 13- to 17-year-old girls by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2010 found that only about half had received at least one dose of the three-part HPV vaccination series.
Illinois was at the low end,...

At long last, Lyndeborough police force finds stabilityBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
February 06. 2014 7:44PM
LYNDEBOROUGH — After years of struggle and strife, the police department appears to be sailing on smoother waters and two new officers are helping to fill out the department's roster.
Firings, hirings, special town meetings and lots of lawsuits have plagued the Lyndeborough Police Department and the Board of Selectmen for as long as many folks can remember. Since Police Chief James Basinas was ousted by a vote at a special town meeting to do away with the position of chief in 2007, there have been nearly half a dozen men running the department as interim administrators or officers in charge. Some left on good terms when their jobs were done, while others left unhappy with the town.
The last man standing at the helm of the troubled department was Lt. Rainsford Deware, a law enforcement veteran who served as officer in charge. He is now the department's first chief since Basinas left town, and he said things are going well.
After being without a chief since December 2007, the townspeople decided to bring back the position at Town Meeting last March. Though the board went through a lengthy hiring process to fill the position, in the end the job was offered to Deware.
The new chief's biggest challenge coming in was having enough manpower to serve and protect the people of Lyndeborough, and the state police have had to fill in a bit when there are gaps in coverage, Deware said.
Hiring new officers, either full or part time was difficult because nobody wanted to work for a department that was in a constant struggle with the town, but since Deware became chief in October, things have settled down significantly and qualified candidates have come knocking.
Recently, Deware hired Michael Chapdelaine, who has 20 years of experience as a police officer in both civilian and military forces. Chapdelaine will serve as a part-time patrol officer for the town, said Deware.
The chief also now has a second-in-command, with Sgt. Richard Sprankle, a 30-year veteran of law enforcement, joining the department last month.
"He is a very qualified person with a lot of skills," said Deware. Sprankle will work up to 32 hours per week, and will be able to fill in for Deware when the chief is away on vacation or otherwise occupied.
"It's always good to have a second-in-command," he said.
With the current hires, Lyndeborough now has seven officers working, though most of them are part time and only work a couple of shifts a week. Still, the extra hands mean the town has better coverage on nights and weekends. And Deware said he's in the process of hiring another full-time officer.
Getting the staff roster up to where it needs to be has been possible with the support of the full board, said Deware, and officers are getting paid a decent wage for a town the size of Lyndeborough.
"I've had good communication with the town administrator and the board," he said. "Everybody's talking and communicating and working together as a team to resolve issues."
And having officers out on the streets, talking with residents, helping out with the small stuff and tackling the big stuff has been good for the town, said Deware.
"Our calls in 2013 were less than half of what they were in 2012," he said. "My guys are out driving around, stopping to say hi to people, and trying to make strong connections with the community. Everybody's doing the right thing."

Employees who call in sick normally get most of the blame for lost productivity, but a phenomenon known as "presenteeism" has been gaining notice, as well. Defined as the act of coming in to work when you're sick and doing a third-rate job as a result, presenteeism costs businesses billions of dollars a year in lost productivity.
If presenteeism is damaging to businesses, then it would stand to reason that the workplace would be better off if sick workers stayed home until they got better. When the illness is a byproduct of the workplace itself, however, that worker will just get sick again and keep doing a listless and unproductive job.
Whether environmental or psychological, many workplaces have conditions that can make employees sick. These factors have a domino effect that ultimately is as bad for the business as it is for the employee.

Scenic Route (US - BD RA)
Jonathan takes a desert road trip with Josh Duhamel and Dan Fogler..
Life-long friends Mitchell (Josh Duhamel) and Carter (Dan Fogler) embark on a buddy trip but end up broken down in the middle of a hostile desert. As their situation becomes more deadly, they descend into a brutally honest assessment of each other's lives. Their close bond is tested by the harsh elements of nature and the unforgiving words traded back and forth. Soon their anger and fear pushes them into a deadly fight for their lives that is the ultimate test of their friendship. (From the Vertical Entertainment synopsis)
Scenic Route was one of those films playing at SXSW that I didn't go out of my way to see. I'll admit that the promotional image of Josh Duhamel with a mohawk and a bloodied face was intriguing, but I can't say I've ever cared much for Duhamel and Fogler's performances in other films. Duhamel was "the guy in the Transformers movies" and Fogler was "the crass R-rated comedy sidekick". If this movie does achieve one thing, it's convincing me that both of these actors are capable of better roles than the ones they're usually in. Neither performance inspires award consideration, but both actors get turns to be vicious and vulnerable and they sell the characters better than I thought they would. Duhamel proves especially capable with the dramatic material and I hope to see him take on more roles of this nature in the future.
The concept of two people stranded in the desert, arguing with each other, is a difficult one to sustain without a great script. This is where Scenic Route suffers. The writing isn't bad, but its lacking that special something that keeps the viewer wanting to tag along. Mitchell is your usual unhappy family man while Carter is the struggling artist type. Not every character needs to feel like a unique invention, but neither Mitchell nor Carter feel fleshed out beyond these basic archetypes. The script also has some stupid referential moments. This is the kind of script that wants to make sure you know the mohawk is a Taxi Driver reference, so the character will point it out. Still, there is something watchable about two people arguing and losing their minds. Their increasingly irrational decisions feel plausible given the setting. Cooking during the day and freezing at night, drinking only windshield wiper fluid from under the hood of the car, anybody would lose it.
The prologue and promotional materials do you the favor of letting you know that this arguing will eventually result in a violent altercation. This promise keeps the opening half of the film tense as you wait for that line to be crossed, but once the fight happens the movie seems unsure of what to do with itself for the remainder of the runtime. The fight doesn't seriously alter the direction of the story, but it does give it some welcome dark edge. The movie only really gets interesting in its final moments where it shows a little unexpected ambiguity, but it feels out of place and doesn't make for a very satisfying conclusion either way you look at it.
This 1080p transfer from Vertical Entertainment is a capable one. This is the first blu-ray I've seen from this company and the quality is about what I'd expect from a Magnolia release. As you'd expect of a film shot in the desert, you're looking at a warm palette here. There's an unnatural yellowness that presides over the picture for extra effect. The colors only really change during a flashback sequence and the nighttime scenes. It was shot on the Arri Alexa and looks great for the most part. The darker scenes betray the digital nature of the picture some. It isn't DNR, but the image looks a little scrubbed. I notice a similar effect when I use too much optical zoom on my digital camera. It was only really apparent in one scene, and is likely a side effect of the compression process. Most of this movie looks great though. Sean O'Dea's cinematography is one of the film's greatest strengths. When the script gets monotonous he at least finds ways to make the movie visually stimulating. The scuffle between the two leads is also well executed.
This DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track does the job in a movie where a surround mix really doesn't have much to do. The desert setting isn't too lively, and from time to time the rear channels will work to pick up a breeze, but this is mostly a front and center show. The good news is the stereo front channels get a lot of attention so the mix never feels too dead. The primary focus of this track is dialogue, and it is always very easy to make out. Be it crammed inside a truck, snuggling in a hole in the sand, or just arguing in the vast desert landscape, the voices feel like they fit the environment without losing any sound quality or discernibility. There's not much excitement here, but the track does its job in a movie that doesn't require fancy bells and whistles in the sound department.
The only extra on this disc is an Audio Commentary with the Goetz Brothers and Josh Duhamel. Duhamel and the Goetz brothers recorded it together, and they love to pay each other compliments. They seem to have a great rapport which makes listening to them more pleasant. Duhamel gives some insight into the preparation he did for the performance. The directing team talk a lot more about the filming process and what it was like trying to shoot a film in such a harsh location. It's a good listen for fans of the film.
Scenic Route doesn't have enough going for it to sustain its modest 86 minute runtime. It is difficult to keep a movie about two characters in one location interesting, and unfortunately the filmmakers do not pull it off. The lead characters are unpleasant, yet they aren't interesting enough to have any fun despising. It drags in the latter half before sailing into an interesting but flawed finale. If there's one thing it did for me, it's prove that Duhamel is capable of greater roles. He does a good job with the material he is given. This Blu-ray release is strong in the technical department, but the only extra is a commentary.
