Fire officials say the women were found unconscious in their home located at 104-26 114th Street in Richmond Hill early Monday morning.
They are now being treated at Jamaica Hospital.
The fire department says a faulty water heater is to blame for the high levels of carbon monoxide found inside.
Officials say the home had no working carbon monoxide detectors, which the FDNY cautions is essential because the potentially deadly gas has no taste or smell.

Staff-recommended reading from the KPL catalog.
Looking for a great audio book? I loved the audio version of "Dodger" by Terry Pratchett. On a dark and stormy night (what else) in Victorian London, a young 17 year old man named Dodger happens upon a young woman who is being kidnapped. He rescues her, and being a young man who makes his living from the streets, knows how to survive and protect her. It fast becomes apparent that some very bad men are trying to get Felicity back. Whirlwind action, mystery and history combine to make great listening. I've listened to lots of audio books over the years, and the reader can make or break a story. The reader here does a great job, and sounds as though he's thoroughly enjoying himself.
Pratchett has some real life people make appearances, such as Charles Dickens as a sharp newspaper reporter, and also Sweeney Todd, the famous barber murderer. Dodger interacts with them, in what Pratchett calls "historical fantasy." It's so well done that it seems perfectly natural.
I really enjoyed this audio version from start to finish, and hope Pratchett does a sequel, preferably soon!
In the past, I've enjoyed reading many non-fiction books about cats, my all time favorites being Dewey, Kitty Cornered, and Cleo. Now I think that I might have to add a new title to that list, Paw Prints in the Moonlight by Denis O'Connor.
This book was given to me as a pre-publication copy about ten months ago by a colleague, to whom I will always be grateful to for bringing it to my attention. It features the then twenty-nine year old author, Denis, who at the time lived in North Cumberland, England in a stone house circa 1876, complete with three-foot thick walls. One icy, stormy January evening, he discovers a silver grey cat screaming in agony and distress, twisting and turning in a trap, caught by the hind leg. Upon releasing the animal, he retreats back to the warmth of his dwelling. However, guilt induced concern makes him return to the scene and goads him into following the cat's bloodstained tracks to an old barn. There he finds what turns out to be a female who, despite her injuries, has been driven by maternal instincts to return to care for her two, very tiny and bedraggled kittens. Being a cat and nature lover, Denis scoops up the entire group and carries them off to the local veterinarian. After examining the three creatures, the vet only has grim news: The mother cat is near death and her two youngsters are not faring much better. The vet proclaims that there is no hope for any of them, and suggests to Denis that the humane thing to do would be to put the entire lot down and thereby end their individual miseries.
While talking to the vet however, Denis notices that one of the kittens has moved to his outstretched hand and snuggles up to it. So he decides to deposit the little guy into a pocket of his sheepskin jacket and leaves the clinic. As he is walking out the door, the vet warns him not to get his hopes up for the kitten because, "The wee thing will suffer and die no matter what you do."
Back home, the writer takes on the role of nursemaid to the tiny, shrew-sized kitten, who barely clings to life; the sole survivor of the storm's havoc upon his feline family. He fills the ink sac of an old fountain pen with some warmed up evaporated milk, adds a few drops of halibut oil, and then feeds this concoction to the kitten who lays motionless in a blanket-lined box near a blazing fireplace. As he accomplishes that first feeding, Denis realizes that he has accepted a do or die mission that will require plenty of determination on his part, an unyielding will to live on the part of his charge, and a more than fair measure of just plain old good luck for both of them.
After a few stressful days, the kitten begins to rouse. A few weeks later, he seems to be out of the woods, showing a greater interest in his surroundings and becoming much more active. To encourage further progress, while at the same time assuring the cat's safety while he goes off to work in a nearby college, Denis ingeniously decides to utilize a wide-bottomed, clear glass jug, covering it with cotton wool and placing the kitten within this new enclosure, next to the fire. Upon his return from work, he finds the kitten standing on its hind legs, peering out from inside the jug welcoming him home.
Thusly, the author names the little survivor Toby Jug. He grows into a truly beautiful adult cat with emerald green eyes, and long black fur that extends down to his nose where bloom a white moustache, mouth, throat and chest. It turns out that Toby Jug happens to be a Maine Coon; one of the largest of all domestic cat breeds. He also happens to have a personality all his own.
Author and cat develop an extremely close bond; Toby's favorite pastime being sitting on Denis' shoulder. Unfortunately, after only twelve too short years filled with many adventures together, cat and owner are separated by Toby's death. That day, Denis makes a promise that he would write and publish a story of the life that he and Toby shared together.
Despite all the aspects that I found very attractive about this account, there was one that bothered me throughout. It was the author's decision to let Toby wander at will in the fields and woods near his home. Denis states that Toby was his pet, but "...also his own cat who had enough of a wild streak to give him his natural rights and dignity as an animal." Even though there were several close calls with wildlife and the elements, the cat was still allowed access to the outdoors at his discretion.
Personally, I could not let any of the three beloved felines who currently share our living quarters that same sort of freedom. The many dangers that are out and about, and the inherent risks that they could pose to their health and safety, are concerns that would constantly gnaw at the back of my mind.
This book took over twenty years to write due to the author's sorrow and pain when he had to recollect their great times together that culminated in the loss of his wonderful friend. It took me ten months to complete reading it, because I found myself re-reading chapters multiple times. Simply put, I did not want the story to come to its inevitable end.
This is a heartwarming tribute that would appeal not only to cat lovers, but to anyone who has ever had a very special relationship with any animal. I absolutely love and recommend it. But make sure you have a box or two of tissues handy when reading. Believe me, you'll make good use of them.
And if you keep your cat next to your heart like I do, please keep it indoors next to you. That's the only place where it can revel in and enjoy the natural rights and dignity of being your true friend!
I'm really enjoying Laurel Synder's chapter book Any Which Wall, which also happens to be the June 27 selection in KPL's Bookworms book group at Children's Room. Bookworms is for kids in grades 1-3 (or there-abouts) with their adults. You can pick up a copy of Any Which Wall at the Children's Room desk. I like this book because it's about magic. It also features Henry and Emma and Roy and Susan -interesting characters who are children of various ages. It's well written and it's pulled me right in. I'm curious what you think about the book, about "common magic", and where you would go if you had a magic wall that could take you to any place and any time.
Bookworms is a free program and a great way to enjoy Summer Reading with other readers!
I couldn't help pick this book up after seeing its clever title in the New KPL Books stream in the KPL catalog, and after reading through it I can say that I am glad I did. The story of craft beer brewing in the United States is as funky as some of the places that helped it grow and pushed it forward during the past 30 or so years. The book takes you from San Francisco's Anchor Brewing Co., which was basically the only small batch "local" brewery that existed in the mid-1970s, to today's craft brew industry where we have literally thousands of craft breweries scattered across the country and introduces you to a seemingly endless stream of interesting and passionate people and their unlikely stories along the way. The book is thoroughly researched and comprehensive with interviews with all of the important players and tons of history thrown in to give the stories context. It's a rich and full-bodied tale sure to interest any beer fan out there. And for the record, Kalamazoo may have come up short in its bid to be named Beer City, USA, but we do figure pretty early on in the story of the craft beer revolution with the Kalamazoo Brewing Company appearing right there on page 119! Number of times anything associated with Grand Rapids appears in the index = 0. Hmmm
Starting with their first letters — or ¬earlier, with the decision to correspond at all — friendship is the book's overarching subject, and the various topics that come and go are before all else attempts at finding that common ground upon which friendship can flourish. --From the New York Times Book Review (Martin Riker)
Two of my favorite contemporary novelists have published a book of fascinating correspondence between the two that covers a wide range of subjects including the financial meltdown of 2008, sports, friendship, film, love, death and of course, their own work and those books and authors they adore. Paul Auster and J.M. Coetzee, two of contemporary literature's most respected and acclaimed writers began their friendship in 2008. The subsequent result gave birth to a letter writing project collected in Here and Now: Letters 2008-2011. Letters range in length from a few pages to several sentences so one could easily bring this book along with them to the beach. Reading these letters (most of them composed on paper and sent through the mail) is like being a fly on the wall of a darkly lit bar, listening in on two incredibly charming and insightful artists feed off of one another's brilliant minds.
Teddy wears a dress shirt, tie, and suit every day; he has two and alternates them. He's also pretty sure he's engaged to Mia and shows his love by sometimes connecting their wheelchairs by a bungee cord because he has a power chair and Mia doesn't. Teddy and Mia are two of the teen residents of the Illinois Learning and Life Skills Center, a state nursing facility now run by a for-profit corporation.
In Good Kings Bad Kings, a novel by Susan Nussbaum, the voices of Teddy, Mia, and other residents and staff of the ILLC use their own words to tell the heartbreaking story of youth in residential care. I dare you to not care.
"Chile', don't worry bout other people, 'cause they probably just jealous."
"Yo chile is yo first priority, cause cherin don't ask to be born."
"If somebody don't want to be bothed wit you, just leave em lone."
If you see the wisdom in these quotes as I do, then you will absolutely LOVE the book What Mama Said, which is a collection of quotations from 78 year old Albion woman Willie Jewel Peterson, compiled with love by her daughter, Gladys Seedorf of Battle Creek. The book also provides a fascinating and inspiring biography of Willie, who grew up one of 14 children working on her family's farm in Greenville, Alabama, and due to farm obligations, was not able to go to school past 6th grade. She raised a family while working hard her whole life and upon retirement at age 65, she completed her G.E.D. This book is chock full of self-help advice that Willie gave her daughter over the years, written in the same vernacular that Willie spoke to keep it authentic…common-sense, hilarious, and absolutely spot-on. I hope this book hits it big!
Here is a great article about the book, its author, and subject, from Chuck Carlson of the Battle Creek Enquirer.
When I heard Dan Savage, the renowned sex & relationship advice columnist/podcaster and co-founder of the It Gets Better project, had a new book on the way, I was very excited; I failed to realize that it would result in so much loss of sleep. Having enjoyed his previous books on marriage and adoption and the pursuit of happiness, I was eager to read American Savage : insights, slights, and fights on faith, sex, love, and politics as well. A collection of 17 essays on everything from end-of-life decisions to healthcare to sex education, I intended to savor it slowly. However, Dan's writing is so enjoyable (though be aware that some of the issues he writes about may be hazardous to your blood pressure, and there is the occasional use of profanity), that I devoured it quickly, to the detriment of my intended bedtime, and it is now on its way to the next reader.
This book is a summary of all the scientific studies that have been done on the placebo effect, neurofeedback (thinking about your disease can help cure it), hypnosis, ESP, near-death experiences and much more. The author is a neuroscientist and the book reads like an exciting textbook on abnormal psychology. Here's just a taste of the amazingly bizarre studies:
But there's more. The author is not only a neuroscientist, but a spiritualist, perhaps an experimental drug user like Timothy Leary, an eastern religion meditation-type, a "cosmic consciousness"-quantum-reality-new-age-type. He has come to believe that we have a mind that is separate from the body, that the fundamental nature of the universe is mind-or-consciousness, and that our brains act as a filter on reality, a "reduction" that gets in the way of experiencing the "unity of all things." Not that any of this is bad. I think any metaphysical interpretation of reality is valid so long as it doesn't promote hatred or violence. After all, nobody really knows what's beyond our perception of the world. My only problem with this book is the author's word "prove." That's a strong word, perhaps too strong for an immaterial, metaphysical entity such as Mind. And he doesn't do the best job doing it. He says: look at all the cool stuff the mind can do! The skeptic replies: look at all the cool things the brain can do! That's it; the argument stops there. Two different interpretations of the same studies, the same reality. With metaphysics that's just the way it is.In other words, the conclusion of the book—"that our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions can greatly influence what is happening in our brains and bodies" stands on solid ground. Even a materialist scientist would agree, provided that by "thoughts" we simply mean another part of the brain (one part of the brain, thought x, influences another part of the brain, hormone y). But this book wants to go further and say: therefore, there is a Mind separate from the brain. Sure, there might be. It's all a matter of interpretation, as Life of Piteaches.
How do you interpret these studies?
While reading two books, The Unapologetic Fat Girl's Guide to Exercise and Two Whole Cakes, I came across references to a movement called "Health at Every Size (HAES)." Unfamiliar with the phrase, I did a little research and found a book called Health at Every Size: the Surprising Truth about Your Weight by Linda Bacon. In her book, Bacon discusses obesity and dieting and concludes that humans have evolved to store fat well, but not to lose it. She uses scientific studies (she herself is a scientist) to back up her argument that diets don't work and that a number on scale does not determine a person's health or wellbeing. Bacon urges people not to look at food (any food) as good or bad, but to listen to their bodies and eat food that makes them feel their best—energized and strong. She also encourages readers to incorporate more activity into their daily lives, but to focus on activity that is enjoyable and not a chore.
This is not a diet book; in fact it's the opposite: Bacon advises people to pay attention the way their bodies feel in relation to food and movement to improve health, not to lose weight. I really, really liked this book; it was incredibly refreshing to read a book talking about health that urges you to listen to your body, to trust it to tell you what you need—I'd rather trust myself with my health than a diet industry that makes a huge profit selling people one particular body ideal.

New details of President Barack Obama's plans for a second term were given in an off-the-record interview with the Des Moines Register Tuesday but made public only after the paper protested that leaving it private would be a disservice to Iowa voters.
The interview was conducted Tuesday but made public Wednesday after the Obama campaign gave permission to the paper releasing them from their off-the-record agreement.
In the interview, Obama said he is confident his administration will pass immigration reform and achieve the equivalent of a grand bargain with Congress.
After failing to achieve comprehensive immigration reform in his first term, the president said Republicans, given the large Latino vote, will be invested in changing the system.
"I'm confident we'll get done next year is immigration reform," Obama said in the transcript of the interview posted online by the paper. "And since this is off the record, I will just be very blunt. Should I win a second term, a big reason I will win a second term is because the Republican nominee and the Republican Party have so alienated the fastest-growing demographic group in the country, the Latino community."
"So I am fairly confident that they're going to have a deep interest in getting that done," he added.
CNN has previously reported the White House met with a coalition of religious leaders in an effort to broach immigration reform next year.
He also predicted the two political parties reach an agreement over the fiscal health of the United States, buoyed by a combination of financial factors, including the Bush tax cuts expiring, the sequester and a commitment from himself and GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney to reducing the deficit. Obama said he was "confident" about an agreement of $2.50 worth of cuts for every dollar of revenue.
$1.5 trillion in taxes will likely come from allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire, but $848 billion in savings will come from winding the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, in addition to $1 trillion in cuts already agreed to in budget negotiations with Congress.
Reaching agreements on these topics in the first year of a second term, the president said, would allow a focus on "some things that really historically have not been ideological."

New life for former West Cumbrian nightclub
Last updated at 19:50, Thursday, 28 June 2012
A former Workington nightclub could be turned into flats.
Fusion, on Ladies Walk, has been empty since the club closed in 2010.
It was recently sold at auction and although it has not been revealed who the new owner is, plans have been lodged with Allerdale council for the scheme.
Edwin Thompson, a firm of chartered surveyors and estate agents, has submitted the plans to the authority on the new owner's behalf.
It wants permission for eight two-bedroom flats and two one-bedroom flats.
There would be parking for 10 cars and four bicycles.
The planning documents state there are two areas at the site suitable for planting.
Built in 1993, the nightclub changed hands a few times before it shut for good two years ago.
Its last owners were Anthony and Francesca Ononye.
Christopher Reeve, of Edwin Thompson, said he understood the new owner wanted to start converting the building as soon as possible.

Windows Easy Transfer moves files and settings from one PC running Windows to another. It guides you through the process of choosing how you want to move your stuff and what you want to move to your new PC, such as user accounts, files and folders, music, pictures, videos, email, contacts, Internet favorites, and program settings. And then it moves everything for you.
Here are a few things to do before you begin:
If you want to transfer files and settings from a PC running Windows Vista or Windows XP, you need to install Windows Easy Transfer on that PC. To find the download appropriate for your PC, go to the Microsoft Download Center.
Sign in to both PCs with an administrator account.
Decide which transfer method you'll use:
Easy Transfer cable that attaches to both PCs and simplifies the process. You can buy an Easy Transfer cable on the web, from your PC manufacturer, or at an electronics store.
Note: You can't use a USB cable.
A network that both PCs are connected to. You'll be given a Windows Easy Transfer key that helps protect files and settings while you transfer them.
A USB flash or external hard drive that is compatible with both PCs and has enough space for your data.
It's a good idea to run antivirus and antispyware programs on your old PC before you transfer files. And after moving files, run those programs on your new PC to make sure no malicious software was transferred.
On your new PC, open Windows Easy Transfer by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering Easy Transfer in the search box, tapping or clicking Apps, and then tapping or clicking Windows Easy Transfer. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
On the welcome screen, tap or click Next.
Choose the method you want to use for transferring your data, and then tap or click This is my new PC.
Choose whether your old PC is running Windows 7 or Windows 8 or you've already installed Windows Easy Transfer on a PC running Windows Vista or Windows XP.
On your old PC, open Windows Easy Transfer.
In Windows 7, click the Start button, in the search box enter Easy Transfer, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Easy Transfer.
In Windows Vista, click the Start button, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, and then click Windows Easy Transfer.
In Windows XP, on the taskbar, click Start, point to All Programs, and then click Windows Easy Transfer.
Select the same method of transfer, and then follow the instructions on the screen. If you're using a cable or external drive, Windows Easy Transfer will let you know when to plug it into your PCs.
After Windows Easy Transfer scans your PC, it automatically selects all user accounts, file types, and program settings it can transfer. Clear the check box next to any user accounts you don't want to transfer. To choose specific files, tap or click Customize under a user account, and then clear the check boxes next to anything you don't want to transfer.
When the transfer is complete, you can see a report of everything that transferred by tapping or clicking See what was transferred. Then, to see a list of programs you might want to install on your new PC, tap or click the Program report tab.
Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from a 64-bit version of Windows to a 32-bit version of Windows. In that case, you need to move your files manually.
You need to use a USB flash drive or external hard drive to move files, email, and favorites to a Windows RT PC. Windows Easy Transfer can't move settings to or from a Windows RT PC.
If your old PC has a different language setting than your new PC, Windows Easy Transfer only transfers data, not program settings.
Windows Easy Transfer moves your music and video files, including files protected by digital rights management (DRM), but it doesn't move the licenses for these files. To reobtain rights to the files, contact the provider of the files. Some online stores offer this and might call it computer activation, computer authorization, library restoration, license synchronization, or something similar. The procedure for restoring your digital rights varies from store to store. A store might limit the number of times you can restore your rights, or it might limit the number of PCs on which you can use the songs or videos you've gotten from them. Some stores don't permit you to restore rights to protected files at all. For details about store policies, refer to your store's customer support or Help info. If you got your music or videos from a store that's no longer in business, you won't be able to restore your rights to that content.

Recent FIS NewsBelow you will find a listing of recent FIS News Find your newsLong discussions in Nordic Combined Sub-Committee meetings On the initiative of FIS Council Member and Chairman of the Nordic Combined Committee Roman Kumpost (CZE), a Nordic Combined Sub-Committee for Officials, Rules and Control was established and the Nordic Combined Executive Board re-activated last autumn. These two groups met last weekend in Zurich during the Nordic Combined Sub-Committee Meetings. The analysis of the last season and discussion about the next required hours of - sometimes controversial - deliberation at the traditional FIS meeting location at Hilton Hotel Zürich Airport. There are some new, let's say: revolutionary, ideas on the table. Because of the need to reduce the competitor field, one of the ideas being considered is a qualification system connected with the Provisional Competition Round (PCR). New formats were also discussed, including proposed inclusion of a team sprint and a second Individual format from next season. The 2011/12 DKB FIS Nordic Combined World Cup calendar seems solid again. With competitions in Almaty, Nordic Combined should conquer a new emerging market in winter sports, Kazakhstan, next winter One of the strengths of FIS in Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined is the so called "funnel system" which allows all member nations to actively participate in the decision-making procedure. Their feedback is due in May in good time before the Portoroz Calendar Conference. Contributed by Egon Theiner |

John Zogby and wife donate to SUNYIT Foundation
-->By: Jennifer Lee
Updated: January 28, 2013
One area organization is honoring one of its late employees through a scholarship fund.
JZ Analytics, a polling and research firm is keeping John Bruce's legacy alive by donating to the SUNYIT foundation in his name. Bruce is a SUNYIT graduate
John Zogby, the senior analyst at JZ Analytics says this is a fitting way of giving back to the school.
The money will provide a scholarship to future computer science students.
"Students always need money for scholarships and they also need encouragement. And I think to get encouragement from real names in the case of John Bruce a student should get that encouragement who took his education and hit a home run with it," said Zogby.
Another donation has also been made in honor of John Zogby's wife's parents.
That scholarship is geared towards nursing students.

'Snookiville' Law Would Allow TV Production Regulation [POLL]
Aims to give New Jersey municipalities a say over reality shows.
Worried that your town may become the next Snookiville? Well, a bill introduced Monday aims to arm New Jersey municipalities with the right to regulate reality TV shows.
Dubbed the "Snookiville Law," the bill introduced by Assemblyman Ronald Dancer (R-12) would allow towns to impose conditions on shows like the "Snooki & JWoww" production that began filming in Manchester in August or the previous installments of "Jersey Shore" that filmed in Seaside Heights and Toms River.
"The popularity of MTV's 'Jersey Shore' and other reality shows can attract crowds to a community," Dancer said in a news release. "That can be great for local businesses and a costly challenge to a town's ability to control crowds and protect public safety."
The bill would allow towns to adopt licensing ordinances or impose certain regulations on the production, such as requiring producers to ensure public safety by paying for an additional police presence, according to the release.
Filming of "Snooki & JWoww" was initially rejected by Toms River and Point Beach, and 495 Productions pulled out of Morristown to finally settle down at a home in Manchester. Although Manchester residents report that the guidettes have been relatively quiet neighbors, the Jersey Shore cast developed a reputation for causing trouble in Seaside during the filming of their reality series, which concluded this summer.
"[The law] will help local officials make sure that the attention reality stars like Snooki and JWoww bring to their town benefits local residents and businesses," Dancer said in the release.

The problem remains that legitimate theatrical and television production, such as Boardwalk Empire, Law & Order SVU etc will not come to NJ to shoot on a regular basis due to the lack of a film & television tax credit - such a tax credit program was not renewed in NJ and as a result all we are left with in many instances are these reality shows. The Fort Lee Film Commission continues to lobby our legislators to reinstitute the tax credit as it is the quickest way to get quality film / TV productions back in our state that will provide a real economic asset - all other corporations are eligible for this tax credit from the state except the industry that was born here - film. Again, New York State via Governor Cuomo has a tax credit for film and TV and as a result production is booming in NYC. With the proper tax incentive and perhaps some creative thinking via use of part of the American Dream Mall in the Meadowlands for a TV / Film production facility, we can create a climate that would lead to not only quality productions but quality industry jobs here in the birthplace of the American film industry, New Jersey.

Who is to say what is legitimate and what is not. That leads to censorship. Who decides what is 'the dregs" or "good''? If this law passes we'll need a ''moral'' police. You don't like it, don't watch it. I've never seen it and have no desire to see it.

Law and Order SVU and Mercy used to film down in the Meadowlands. Mercy didn't get renewed and L&O SVU moved out when the tax credit stopped. Even this new show with the name Jersey in the title isn't filmed here. It's a real shame. I have worked on shows and movies filmed in NJ and it's nice to not have to commute across the Hudson. Only people in this line of work understand what it has taken away from our state and people in this industry. I could care less about the reality shows but the SAG signatory productions are what I would love to see back here.

Tom, that is why all the film and television production is jumping ship and swimming across the Hudson to NYC.Great move NJ !!!!
Tom Meyers
5:24 pm on Monday, September 24, 2012
Exactly! So all we are left with is the dregs..the way to get quality production is not to pass laws against reality shows but to rather encourage this industry just like the state encourages every other industry.
Tom Meyers
7:53 pm on Monday, September 24, 2012
What we lost is jobs and a connection to our heritage as the state that gave birth to the American film industry - this issue isn't about a low rent reality show - it should be about bringing into the state high end television and film production that would economically benefit NJ, a state with an unemployment rate higher than the national average - lets speak to the point - this is an economic issue and right now New York is cleaning our clock.

Allow these reality tv productions to film in our towns, a place we hold sacred, the next thing is we have to stop, wait, detour and/or be inconvinenced in all sorts of ways. All of this bending over for what? Revenue for the State; money we don't see, no clue how it's spent. The town citizens, tax payers will have to cater and bow down for these"moviestars"while they are the ones who benefit. We become their peasants.

There was a poll a few months ago about Snooki and JWow coming to Morristown for filming. The comments ranged from, "we don't want that trash here" to, "it would be great for business" (those are not exact quotes but you know what I mean).
I think Tom has great points but I don't view "reality" (yeah right) shows such as these as anything other than a voyeuristic society celebrating mediocrity at best.
A tax break for filming quality shows and movies would be wonderful. But I would relinquish the tax break if it meant that the Jersey Shore cast were filming next door to me or in my town.
Ridgewood Mom

New Jersey is a wonderful state with many wonderful people in it, but unfortunately a big part of our problem is that we really have people like the cast of the Jersey Shore here. Take our governor for example.
Ridgewood Mom
6:14 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Chris Christie is a caricature of what most of the world, outside of New Jersey, see as the stereotypical obnoxious person from New Jersey. Loud mouth. Excessive usage of epithets and other vulgarities. Lack of thought before action and basic anger management skills. Talking over others. Posturing. Playing the expert about things he knows nothing as an exhibition of machismo. Just like Snookie. If you think the Jersey Shore is trashy, just attend one of Christie's public financed "town hall" political rallies.
However fair or unfair these judgements, such is the image that Christie projects and the way that people outside of New Jersey view him. If you doubt it, just ask someone who is not from New Jersey.
6:45 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Based on your avatar I judge as a 50 Shades of Grey afficionado. . .doesn't make me right.
8:35 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
RM---On your comment below--those are your opinions. We all get to have our opinions. I think they are unfair judgments though--even if half of that were true, does that mean he can't govern? You must be a democrat. Your last paragraph is just wrong. My brother-in-law thought Christie should've run for pres., and was disappointed he wouldn't be VP. My brother-in-law is not from NJ, not even close. You cannot make sweeping statements that are not true. That is posturing.
Ridgewood Mom
8:36 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Feel free to think whatever you want about my avatar XLS.
I didn't say that anyone's perception of Snooki or Chris Christie was right or wrong here. Its just that we are talking here about whether Snooki and the Jersey Shore should be seen as an unallowable smear to the image of New Jersey. If they are, isn't Chris Christie?
And however unflattering you or I find their iconography, there are many people in New Jersey who really do adore these folks. So if there is a problem with their images, then there is a problem with some segment of New Jersey. Or else maybe there isn't a problem. Let's be honest. Chris Christie and Snooki are both making careers out of their images.
Ridgewood Mom
9:14 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
FWIW, I am not a registered democrat. I am very sorry if you feel that democrats are not worthy of dialogue. I favor reasoned discussion between democrats and republicans and actually see much room for common ground. Not that it should matter here. I have not been discussing either Snooki or Chris Christie's political views. Moreover, Snooki's publicly stated political views are entirely different from Chris Christie's. But I have been discussing their public images.
Also, my points about Snooki and Chris Christie, here, pertain to the images that they project to other Americans besides me. My opinion about their public images is that they are both obnoxious, but again that is not what I have been addressing.
Your brother and many other folks around America may like Christie for his anti-government/corporate allegiance. But Christie's image was surely one of the main reasons he was not nominated by the republican party. Most red state republicans and the key moderates who can vote either way can stomach his radical gangster image. They want a good 'ol boy who looks like Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan.

Why not just ban Snooki and the idiot housewife of wherever altogether.

2:59 pm on Tuesday, September 25, 2012
While I believe that shows such as "The Jersey Shore," "The Snooki & JWoww Show," "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," and "The Soprano's" denigrate New Jersey and people of certain ethnic backagrounds; to chase the shows and their production companies out the state is economically counterproductive. We have chased away much of the manufacturing and industrial production from the state; let us hope that we can learn from history!
William Mays
10:27 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
I agree with you on everything besides the Sopranos. That show had multiple instances wherein non-Mafia Italian characters made comments defending Italians and saying that not all of them are in the Mafia.
3:44 pm on Tuesday, September 25, 2012
All this is going to do is just make it harder for film companies to film in NJ. Just another barrier to doing business in the State of NJ.

Snookie is a piece of trash and so is everyone one of those "people" and i use the term loosely. Does everyone realize that these people arent from NJ, but people all over the country think that they are and take this as "normal jerseryians". They not only have given the rest of the country a dim whitted view of our state, they also portray italian people in a very stereotypical way that i find disgusting. Now snookie is reproducing??? Pass a law to ban that. WTF is wrong with society these days that people are idolizing them? Please stop the lunacy
Tommy P
11:08 am on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Snookie is not Italian. She is Chilean. Not that it matters.
If you don't like her, don't watch her show. In this country we should all be free to be ourselves so long as we are not injuring others.
11:52 am on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
The tax credit law would obviously benefit the state. How much more industry can we lose? Pharmaceuticals are almost gone, BASF, and the Nets! (the Brooklyn Nets just doesn't sound right.) But, then be prepared for the bad with the good. The state needs jobs! You could write restrictions into the law concerning those crap reality shows? But please don't call it the "Snookiville Law!" Please don't give the no-talent little witch anymore press!
precious pisces
3:52 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Why is everyone dogging Snookie? Given the opportunity to be a television show (drama/reality) most would jump at the chance. Snookie is not the creator nor the producer of the shows. Get at MTV and leave Snooks alone.
4:10 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
She's on there because of her "personality!" That particular audience wouldn't watch the show if she were "Miss Goody-Two-Shoes!"
5:29 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Interesting that most people seem to agree or disagree based on personal preference although there are a few posts above that aren't showing personal biases. But I don't see anyone questioning the validity of such a law.
Hopefully any such law will be challenged and found to violate the first amendment of our nation's constitution. I have heard elsewhere that this proposal would allow towns to require extra police etc. I would expect such public safety portions of this law would and should be upheld.
5:54 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
How would it violate the 1st amendment? It's not forbidding production of the show.
It's asking for reasonable conditions, ie: public safety; payment for cost of extra police, etc.
10:19 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
It's my understanding (from other sources, not here) that there are provisions that would allow municipalities to ban a show outright. I agree that requiring public safety precautions do not violate the first and in fact I'm surprised that a town can't already require this. If you want to host some gathering, rally, etc. you have those sort of requirements. You may need to post bonds, hire security (usually local PD), etc.
Tom Meyers
9:47 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
This proposed law is pure grandstanding - all NJ towns have the ability to control or prevent film / TV production already. In Fort Lee where we encourage film / TV production we still have a municipal ordinance re rules for said productions and all police are provided by the film crews directly re their hire of the borough's "off duty" police officers so this doesn't cost any towns any money as the crews pay off duty officers for security / street officers etc. The real problem remains that without a tax credit for film & TV production in NJ we cannot attract high end prestige TV and film production - so if any politican wants to do the right thing it would be to restore the state tax credit for film & TV prduction in the state where the American film industry was born.
9:10 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
And then there are the "unintended consquences" such as crowds. Business is booming at the Cake Boss...and to what benefit of Hoboken. There is no sales tax, business tax or any other way the town gets a share of all the dough Buddy is raking in. But the town does get crowds, tour buses and maybe some parking fees/tickets.
Tom Meyers
9:43 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
The benefit goes to the businesses in these towns and believe me most productions are not intrusive. For example, a large production like Law & Order SVU has great location and crew professionals that make these shoots very non-intrusive. We have huge traffic jams due to more and more development and malls - mall jobs mostly pay minimum wage - if we encourage film and TV production and eventually have studios set up shop in NJ the jobs in that industry, film & TV, will be high paying jobs. And why is the state offering tax credits to every industry except the one industry born in NJ - film?????
10:39 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
I think the state should give tax credits to the film industry. As far as extra traffic, crowds, etc.---have you tried going to the shore during the summer?! NJ is in a perpetual state of road construction so we should be used to delays & detours. Going to a mall on a Sat. Is a day-long drill. A film production company, even if it's temporary, would bring revenue to its location. The associated people are going to spend money in the town--food, gas, hotels, etc. They would have to obey local laws & ordinances, get permits, pay for security. NJ needs to get in on this, especially with so many companies leaving the state. (As for the film industry having been "born" in NJ, due to Mr. Edison's being a resident, it did not grow up here; Hollywood has been raising it since WWI.)
Tom Meyers
10:49 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Actuallythe Ameircan film industry did grow up in NJ - Mr. Edison did create the industry and built in 1893 the first American film studio - but by 1908 the whole concept of a "film town" was born in Fort Lee NJ - DW Griffith from 1908-1912 shot much of his Biograph exteriors in Fort Lee with his cameraman Billy Bitzer and his stock company of players that included Lionel Barrymore, Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish, Donald Crisp, Mack S ennett, Mabel Normand and others. Carl Laemmle shot his first fiilm here (Coytesville, NJ) in 1909, Hiawatha, and in 1912 he bought the Champion Studio here and founded Universal Studio - in 1914 he built one of the largest studios in the world on Fort Lee's Main Street for Universal and after Universal moved to California in 1915 they still retained ownership of that studio until 1930 and leased it to other film pioneers including Sam Goldwyn and Lewis Selznick.

Knew about the film industry starting in Ft. Lee but not the extensive history you provided here. Thanks.
2:50 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Tom, I want to thank you for virtually single-handedly spearheading the recognition of Fort Lee as the birthplace of the film industry. I know that the Fort Lee Film Commission was your baby. I have an unfinished novel that uses a lot of the history you've unearthed. Please keep up the good work!!
Tom Meyers
10:49 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Fort Lee became the first American film town and for a time more film was produced here than anywhere else in the US - in 1912 the first woman director in cinema history, Alice Guy Blache built her Solax Studio in Fort Lee and here she produced, wrote and directed hundreds of films. Of course Hollywood by World War I and after became the center of film production in the world BUT let us not discount that NJ saw the birth of the American film industry and had the first American film town within its borders. See Rutgers University professor of film Richard Koszarski's 2004 book "Fort Lee the Film Town" or view the first 2 parts of TCM's groundbreaking documentary on the American film industry "Moguls and Movie Stars" as this info is repeated in both the book and the doc.
11:18 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
I know all that. I'm not disputing it was born here, but It's been growing up in Hollywood for over 90 yrs. They've been hosting the Oscars in LA since 1929, not Fort Lee. I'm just saying the state should make it easy for it to come back!
Tom Meyers
11:31 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
The purpose of this history of the film industry is hopefully to educate people who don't know this history - obviously you do - and I totally agree with you re making it easier for the industry to come back...the shame is that most leaders on both sides of the aisle have no knowledge of this history - frankly we as a state would have been much better off had our leaders scrapped the America Dream aka Xanadu mega mall in the Meadowlands and instead fostered the creation of the largest Film / TV production sound stage in the north east combined with an aggressive tax credit program and then you would see great activity come back to NJ re film / TV production with all the added benefits to many, many NJ communities and job creation within this industry. And the location of such a facility in close proximity to both the NFL stadium and the nearby Newark Arena would have created great synergy. But alas we are left with yet another mall,
11:47 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
I think snookie is another way to make fun of New Jersey and Italians. I don't like it.
But each to his own.
11:49 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Surprise! I totally agree with you, Tom. But sadly, after the fact is too late to enlighten the "leaders."
And "Xanadu" is ridiculous. Somebody's getting bucks out of that....
John Santaella
11:54 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Liberty, leaders are not enlightened with ideas but with money. Tom has some great ideas but maybe not the money to enlighten our leadership or, if he has the money also has the integrity not to use it that way.

It was not that long ago that the late, lamented Celeste Holm worked tirelessly as head of the NJ Film Commission to bring quality film production to NJ. I remember Vincent Gardenia filming near my house at Our Lady of Sorrows, and Zach Braf filming Garden State at Columbia. Bring it back!!!!!
1:33 pm on Thursday, October 4, 2012
This law would outlive the reality show(s) as we know it today.....things like Snookie and Jersey Shore will slowly fade away with viewer interest. And having a restriction law within NJ will scare away future film projects and local business revenue.
It's always nice / fun to see NJ locations used in movies and TV shows......if this law goes into effect say goodby to new productions leaving us to say "Thank God for reruns"

FUQUAY-VARINA - Fuquay-Varina's wrestling team won the final four matches to defeat Tri-Nine Conference rival Green Hope 54-20 Thursday night at home.
The Bengals led 30-20 after GH's Danny Hegeman won by decision at 120 pounds. Fuquay then won three matches by pin (126, 132 and 145) and one by forfeit (138) to secure the conference victory.
"We are strongest in our middle to upper weight classes," said first-year Bengals' coach Ed Petrosky, who took the job after moving from Pittsburgh, Pa., over the summer. "But when I came down, I noticed that the wrestlers had some really bad habits – elementary mistakes – things we teach kids up north not to do at a very young age.
"Once we started working on the basics and breaking those habits, we have our conditioning down and now we are really working on higher-level techniques and it has really shown up in their improvement."
Fuquay (3-2 Tri-Nine, 4-2 overall) jumped out to an 18-0 lead with a pinfall win by Eric Wilberg at 152 and decisions by William Thompson at 160, Yusef Shabazz at 170 and Roelvis Vargas at 182.
Green Hope came back with wins at 195 (Ian Callahan) and 220 (Levi Womack by forfeit) to make it 18-12, but heavyweight Grayson Booker gave the Bengals a 24-12 advantage with his pinfall victory in overtime over Chad Mason.
The Falcons picked up five points when Michael Eastwood earned a major decision over Chris Confessore at 106 pounds, slicing the Fuquay lead to 24-17. Daniel Cockerill's pinfall at 113 over Jourdan Leroux boosted the Bengals' lead back to 13 points.
Green Hope pulled within 10 points on the decision by Hegeman, but the Bengals put away the visitors when Jamel Avery pinned Brendan Roess at 126 pounds and Taylor Highsmith did the same to Ryan Sollod in the 132-pounds match.
The home team completed the win as Drew O'Rourke took a forfeit at 138 and William Wheeler won by pin at 145 over Brian Messina.
"Green Hope has some very tough weight classes," Petrosky said. "They are tough up top (heavier weights) and we are tough in our middle weights. That's when you started seeing our team score go up.
Petrosky said his goals are to see match by match improvement and to eventually make the Bengals a perennial conference title contender again.
"Obviously I would like for it to happen right now," he said, smiling. "We were eighth out of nine teams in the conference last year and now, hopefully we will finish in the top four this year…I will be very happy about that. Our boys work super hard every single day. The program has been in a slump the past eight or 10 years and we are on our way back. It won't happen in one year or even four or five years. But 10 years down the road, there is no reason why we can't be competitive with teams like Cary and Holly Springs."
