2009-05-15 14:49:00 Having chosen to take advantage of a free invite to see X:Men Origins: Wolverine last night (which by the way, not nearly as terrible as I was led to believe) this TV Addict has decided to once again, ask you to be the critic by posting your spoiler-free thoughts on last night’s installment of PARKS AND RECREATION, THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, SOUTHLAND, BONES, SUPERNATURAL, SMALLVILLE, UGLY BETTY, and GREY’S ANATOMY.

2009-05-08 15:46:00 Since everybody seems to be itching to discuss last night’s slew of must see TV, this TV Addict thought he’d once again ask you to do your best Ken Tucker impersonation by being the critic and posting your spoiler-free (since I have yet to watch anything outside of what might have been the least funny episode of THE OFFICE ever) thoughts on last night’s installments of PARKS AND RECREATION, THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, SOUTHLAND, SUPERNATURAL, SMALLVILLE, UGLY BETTY, and GREY’S ANATOMY.

Snap Judgements: SOUTHLAND, PARKS AND RECREATION and HARPER’S ISLAND
2009-04-13 16:06:00 SOUTHLAND The Good: Complete with bleeped-out epithets and a diverse cast that’s fairly easy on the eyes, producer John Wells and creator Ann Biderman’s gritty and intense look at the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles may in fact do for cop dramas what ER did for medical ones. You know, make them interesting again. The Bad: That gritty and intense realism comes at a price. Not only did SOUTHLAND’s docudrama shaky cam have us this close to pulling a Ben Mackenzie of our very own (Read: Running outside and hurling on our lawn). The downer of a plot that included gangland violence, drug dealers and sexual predators made for one helluva depressing hour. The Verdict: While we’re definitely curious enough to take another trip (or two) down south, Wells and Biderman need throw in a victory or two for the boys (and girls) in blue every once in a while. That, or risk losing viewers to lighter time slot competitors like HARPER’S ISLAND and PRIVATE PRACTICE. PARKS ...

Update on “Guns in Parks” Rule
2009-03-21 12:37:00 A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction to block the Bush Administration’s last-minute rule change to allow loaded, concealed weapons in national parks and wildlife refuges. Thanks to key documents that showed the Bush Administration ignored the warnings of senior career Department officials who said the rule change violated several laws - the judge said the government’s case was “astoundingly flawed.” Pretty much sums it up.
Oppose Loaded and Concealed Guns in our National Parks
2009-02-18 13:28:00 At dinner last night, Oldest told us about the latest President he’s reading about. Reagan. Ewww. So far, he’s gone through books about Taft, Lincoln, Jefferson (my favorite), Kennedy, and Truman. What has he learned about Reagan? Oldest told us about when Reagan was shot. Apparently, the old man said to his doctors, “I hope you’re Republicans.” Dude *was* a charmer. Then Oldest started talking about James Brady and how he was hurt in an attempt to assassinate Reagan. I talked with both my children about how tragedy can be turned to triumph if you take something bad, learn from it, and make the world a better place. That’s what Sarah and James Brady did by forming the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. Oh, relax for a minute. No one wants to take away your guns. The Brady campaign simply seeks to enact common sense gun control laws. In one of his more destructive parting shots, George Bush changed a rule that prohibited guns in national park...
EVERWOOD Alum News: Chris Pratt Joins Amy Poehler’s PARKS AND RECREATION
2009-02-10 23:22:00 With today news that EVERWOOD alum Chris Pratt will be joining the cast of Amy Poehler’s highly anticipated new NBC comedy, it should come as no surprise that this TV Addict is in complete agreement with Michael Ausiello when he says that PARKS AND RECREATION “just went from Must-See TV to Wild-Horses-Couldn’t-Drag--Me-Away TV.” That said, we’re going to have to disagree with Ausiello when it comes to his assertion that, “the only thing that could make this show better is if they hired Cheri Oteri to play Poehler’s wacky assistant.” (more…)

Silas E Parks and the Pirate Attack
2008-11-18 22:34:00 I have at last managed to write another SILAS E PARKS adventure - the beginning of which can be found below.Silas E Parks and the Pirate AttackPirates have been grabbing headlines recently. They seem to be grabbing ships from all nooks and crannies of the oceans and it makes me wonder what all the fuss is about. I mean, when I was attacked and boarded by pirates we would have fought them and chased them off like the rogues that they were had we been able to get to them. We would have stood up and faced them man-to-man, guns and all, and showed them that we weren?t sitting down on the job. No Siree, not me and certainly not my crew!It was in 1993 when this particular nasty incident occurred. I was the Captain on this rather large oil tanker and having loaded up in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia we were heading down the Malacca Straits towards Singapore for bunkers and much needed stores. After that it was straight on down the hill to Australia and hopefully for me a flight home for a well ...

Making Trailer Parks Cool
2008-09-09 09:46:00 From this... To this! (This is the miniHome by Canadian architect Andy Thomson of Toronto. It's totally self-sufficient and off the grid - a complete eco-house, and it's only $119,000 USD. Some of the miniHome models collect their own rainwater for the inhabitants' use - how cool is that?!).Not surprisingly, being poor can also be an eco-conscious lifestyle. Yayy! When you're poor, you consume less products, thereby putting less strain on natural resources. You live in a much smaller home, thereby lessening your CO2 production and carbon footprint (as a byproduct of heating and cooling said humble abode). And if you're really eco-conscious, you live in a trailer park. Well, not exactly a cultural bastion of environmentalists - yet. Watch out trailer park inhabitants, tree-hugging, hyper-recycling gentrificationists are gearing up to invade your neighborhood, er, park. Good thing the homes are mobile and nobody will have to mix with these hippies if they don't want to. Especial...

Cool Parks in Austin
2008-05-23 10:10:00 There is no shortage of beautiful scenery and greenbelts in the Austin area, where there seems to be a walking trail around every corner, and a park around every bend. One of the more unusual of these is Champion Park in Round Rock. It has a little of everything, from a kid-approved playground to a scenic trail by the creek. It’s a great place to spend a Saturday or a weekday afternoon. Just make sure you bring plenty of sunscreen, snacks and drinks because you’ll want to stay all day. Of course, a few extras like towels, sand shovels and buckets will come in handy, too. The park is an immense 33 acres. With plenty of open space, it’s the perfect place to play a game of catch or tag, and then, if the weather is hot enough, to meander over to the play area where sprinklers shaped like whales spout cool water into the sky. When you cool down enough, you can head over to the rock climbing area for an invigorating romp on specially designed boulders, or the sandpit where...
WATERTON LAKES NATIONAL PARKS OF CANADA
2008-05-23 08:10:00 La fotografia mostra il Prince of Whales Hotel, solitario e quasi fiabesco al tramonto, nel cuore del Waterton National Park nell?angolo sud-ovest della Provincia dell? Alberta.Il Parco nasce nel 1895 con 140 kmq di territorio protetto; oggi la superficie è di 505 kmq, il più piccolo parco delle Rocciose canadesi.

La descrizione del parco è affascinante! Oltre 60 specie di mammiferi e 250 di uccelli, 24 specie di pesci e 10 di rettili e anfibi. Facile imbattersi fra gli altri in lu...

Messing about in Boats (and on bikes and in Parks)
2008-05-13 00:32:00 We?ve been so fortunate with the weather here in the UK; it was gloriously hot all weekend long in Kent. We certainly made the most of it and did the typical Brit thing of dragging out the barbecue (or in our case buying a new one) as soon as the sun comes out. In fact we had a barbecue two nights in a row - well hell, it?s not often you get such great barbecue weather here in good old Blighty and even rarer to get it over an entire weekend.Saturday was spent pottering around, doing washing, mowing the lawn and sitting out in the garden, and I planted up some herbs in pots. Let?s hope I don?t kill them like I do every other plant that has the misfortune to be owned by me. I think these herbs stand more of a chance though as I?m going to be able to get some good, and well needed, advice over on my forums. We?ve now got a forum dedicated to growing your own produce; 'The Veg Patch', which is great. Hopefully this will mean that my herbs last me throughout the summer and perhaps even...
