"Roswell that Ends Well", originally titled "All's Well in Roswell", is the fifty-first episode of Futurama, the nineteenth of the third production season and the first of the fourth broadcast season. It aired on 9 December, 2001, on Fox. Travelling back to July 1947 to Roswell, New Mexico, the Planet Express crew causes the famed Roswell incident, and Dr. Zoidberg is captured by the U.S. military. Meanwhile, Fry accidentally kills his paternal grandfather Enos Fry.
The Story
Act I: "Hey, what smells like blue?"
September 21st, 3002: The crew of the Planet Express Ship is attending a unique event, accompanied by Professor Farnsworth and Dr. Zoidberg: a supernova right up close. For this momentous occasion, Fry makes some popcorn in the ship's microwave oven, but unfortunately, he uses a portion of corn wrapped in metal foil. This causes a microwave malfunction, which generates a field of blue radiation which collides with the red radiation emitted by the exploding star. Both fields react violently with each other and hurl the PE ship through a time tunnel which carries it to Earth.
Without the help of GPS and with a failing drive, the PE ship crash-lands in the desert. Bender refuses to buckle up and is ejected through one of the cockpit windows; upon landing his body is smashed to pieces across the desert, temporarily reducing him to his head. Zoidberg is left to pick up Bender's body, but just as he is finished, he is abducted with the parts by the soldiers of a nearby air force base. It turns out that the crew has travelled back to July 1947 and has landed near Roswell, New Mexico. Bender's body is mistaken for an UFO, and Zoidberg is mistaken for an evil alien – almost correct.
Act II: "A Buffet! Oh, if only I had my wallet with me."
Return to the future is only possible as long as the hole in the time-space continuum punched by the supernova remains open, which leaves exactly 24 hours. The crew has several tasks to complete: acquire a new microwave and rescue Zoidberg and Bender's body, all without upsetting history. Things become more complicated as Fry mentions that his grandfather Enos Fry is stationed at Roswell, which presents the danger of time paradoxes as he is the only one who can infiltrate the military base without arousing suspicion, as he is the right age to be a soldier, male and two-eyed. The Professor warns Fry not to go anywhere near Enos for fear of upsetting history, as well as the fact that any changes to Enos' timestream could result in Fry being erased from existence, but this has the opposite effect in making Fry paranoid about Enos' safety.
Meanwhile, the bases officers are interrogating Zoidberg and doing tests on him, to little effect, and they inform the President. Fry, carrying Bender's head, sneaks onto the air base (disguised in an army uniform with the help of All Purpose Spray), and soon runs into his paternal grandfather, Enos Fry. Fry is desperate to remove him from any dangers that might threaten his life, but inadvertently pushes him into a pile of rusty bayonet heads, then drags him out of the base – and right into an active minefield. They eventually make it into the town and enter a local diner, where Fry also meets Enos' fiancé and Fry's grandmother, Mildred. However, Enos shows signs of homosexuality (or bisexuality).
Meanwhile, Leela and the Professor, both in heavy disguise, are attempting to buy a microwave oven, which does not exist in 1947. The sleazy salesman tries to unload a huge gas oven on them, offending Leela with his antiquated female role stereotypes and getting his knee crushed by the oven door as a result. Fry, in his attempt to bring his grandfather to safety, drives him to a remote house and tells him to stay there, then leaves....... unaware that the house is in fact a testing ground for a nuclear bomb. The subsequent detonation vaporises the house and Enos, which Fry witnesses in horror.
Bender's head taunts Fry: "And you are out of here!"
Act III: "Are you coming on to me?"
Meanwhile, Leela and the Professor order lunch at the diner, confusing Mildred by ordering future food then ridiculously outdated food. Leela remarks that they might as well settle in, since without a microwave they're trapped in 1947; the Professor complains that, among other things, they'll have to endure the Big Bopper's horrible music and tragic death. Leela spots a radar dish in the air base, which would suffice as a substitute for a microwave as it emits the same radiation; but the Professor vetoes her proposal to steal it, insisting that they must not interfere with history. On that note, Fry arrives with the grim news that he has accidentally killed his grandfather, and everyone is puzzled why he (or, given their kinship, the Professor as well) did not vanish. Since he and the Professor are still alive, Enos must have already gotten Mildred pregnant (though nobody in the crew arrives at such a conclusion) or something else is going on here........
Mildred receives the news of Enos' death (taking no solace in the fact that the implosion trigger functioned perfectly) and breaks down in tears. Fry attempts to comfort her, and agrees to walk her back to her house. She invites him in and they share a drink. Fry reminds Mildred of Enos, and she becomes attracted to him. Disturbed by the thought of incest, Fry tries to talk her out of sex. Mildred ignores him and rips open her shirt. Fry is shocked by this turn of events, and even more so the fact that he exists – he therefore reasons that Mildred cannot be his real grandmother, and that his father must have actually been born to different parents, thereby making it okay.
While this is happening, President Harry S. Truman himself arrives at Roswell to handle the UFO case and the interrogation of Zoidberg. The scientists have arranged Bender's parts in the shape of a flying saucer. The President orders a vivisection of Zoidberg, which costs him a number of his internal organs, including one of his four hearts which seems to be a permanent loss.
The following morning, Leela, the Professor and Bender track Fry down and are appalled at what they see. Fry states that Mildred is not really his grandmother. The Professor insists otherwise and states that Fry has become his own grandfather. Fry panics afterwards after realizing things.
After Leela manages to finally calm Fry down (mostly by smacking him around) the Professor decides that secrecy is no longer viable and that they must steal the radar dish and get back to the future before they can cause any more damage; history will just have to take care of itself. The PE ship attacks Roswell Air Base, inflicting considerable damage and throwing the entire complex into disarray. The crew rescue Zoidberg, beating up President Truman in the process, and Bender's body and steal the radar dish. As the ship leaves the atmosphere, Bender's head falls out of the cargo hatch, and there is no time to retrieve it as the supernova hole is almost closed; the PE ship narrowly gets through it and returns to the future.
Fry is left mourning the fact that Bender is trapped 1,000 years in the past, until he realizes that Bender's head should still be where it fell. Fry, Leela, and the Professor again travel to the remains of Roswell Air Base and search for Bender's head, eventually locating it and reuniting it with his still saucer-shaped body. With Bender recovered and no apparent ill effects from Fry's literal screwing with history, it's all's well that ends well.
This episode was named #3 on IGN's list of top 25 Futurama episodes and #1 on io9's list of top 10 Futurama episodes.
Additional Info
- The first photo taken by the Conspiracy Nut looks a lot like the famous 1997 Arizona UFOs which were described as hovering in a V-shaped path.
- The photo of the Planet Express Ship turned into the iconic 'Surgeon's Photograph' (1934).
- Mildred has the Ten Commandments on her wall. In the 'Directors Commentary', episode director, Rich Moore, stats that the reason for this is that about seven of them are broken in this episode alone.
- In 1947, Rock music did not exist so instead of the Hard Rock Cafe it is the "Hard Croon Cafe".
- The Flag of the United States has 48 stars, as used between 1912 (when Arizona and New Mexico became States) and 1959 (when Alaska and Hawaii became States, bringing the total to 50).
- In a previous episode we discover that Bender is only 4 years old. Due to his head (but not his body) spending over 1,000 years buried underground, following this episode his head's age is 1,055 years older than his body.
- This is the first episode of Futurama to feature time travel, a subject the show's creators did not want to broach too early/often due to the confusing direction that such stories can lead in.
- This episode won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour) in 2002.
- This episode is one of four featured in the Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection, reflecting its popularity with both fans and the creators of Futurama.
- This is the second time that Bender was separated from his body for almost the whole episode, the first one being "A Head in the Polls".
- Sci Fi Weekly gave the episode an "A" grade and noted that it was "a half hour of pure entertainment".
- Although the episode was well received by critics, it continued to do poorly in its time slot. The original airing was in 83rd place for the week with a 3.1 rating/5 share.
- Enos never got time to clean the toilet bowl. But still the sergeant's eating out of it! Then again, considering the sergeant apparently did not know about Enos's death, he may have just assumed that Enos had done it anyway.
- Zoidberg apparently has no teeth since the devilled egg is lying completely intact in his stomach, though he is drawn with teeth in earlier episodes.
- He's shown earlier in the episode to be a very messy eater. Perhaps he simply doesn't chew.
- During their rescue of Bender and Zoidberg from the military base, the Planet Express ship fires a missile which clearly has the episode title painted on the side. This is one of the few episodes to mention the title during the episode, others being "Hell Is Other Robots" and "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television".
- The windows of the hangar in the fight sequence between the planes and the PE ship has "DAMNED" written in the windows with different shades of glass.
- The events of this episode introduce us to time paradoxes.
- President Harry S. Truman mentions Franklin D. Roosevelt when the Planet Express crew attacks Roswell Army Air Field.
- The Roswell UFO incident is often linked to Nevada's Area 51, which is surrounded by a number of conspiracy theories related to alien life. This episode is episode 51.
- The scream David Herman performs as the General upon the 'big reveal' of Bender's UFO-body is startlingly similar to the screams Dan Castellaneta performs as Homer Simpson.
- Fry says that he can smell the colour blue, which means that he may have a form of synesthesia, a combination of senses, not unlike Bender's sense of smision.
Fry: I've never seen a supernova blow up, but if it's anything like my old Chevy Nova, it'll light up the night sky.
Bender: That's no flyin' saucer, that's my ass!
Leela: OK, here's the plan. Zoidberg - pick up the pieces. Everyone else - take five.
Professor Farnsworth: Your grandfather?! Stay away from him, you dim-witted monkey! You mustn't interfere with the past! Don't do anything that affects anything, unless it turns out you were supposed to do it, in which case for the love of God, don't not do it!
Fry: Got it.
Professor Farnsworth: If, for example, you were to kill your grandfather, you would cease to exist.
Fry: But existing is basically all I do!
General: What's your purpose?
Zoidberg: Alright, officer, I'll move it along.
Military Official: What the general means is, why did you come to Earth?
Zoidberg: Not a day goes by I don't ask myself the same question.
President Truman: Whistlin' Dixie! I want this sent to Area 51 for study!
General: But Sir, that's where we are building the fake moon-landing site!
President Truman: Then we'll have to really land on the moon! Invent NASA and tell them to get off their fannies!
President Truman: If you come in peace, surrender or be destroyed. If you're here to make war, we surrender.
Professor Farnsworth: Start the ship, Leela! Let's just steal the dish and get back to our own time.
Fry: But won't that change history?
Professor Farnsworth: Oooh, a lesson in not changing history from "Mr. I'm-my-own-grandpa". Let's get the hell out of here already! Screw history!
Mildred: In times like these I just need someone to hold me! [grabs Fry's arm] Mmmm you like holding me don't you?
[Fry starts shaking violently.]
Fry: Hey, you know what always cheers you up, baking me a nice tray of sugar cookies!
Mildred: How about these cookies, sugar? [She rips her shirt off revealing her bra.]
Base Officer: Stomach contents: deviled egg.
Zoidberg: Deviled egg? [Eats deviled egg.]
Base Officer: The same deviled egg.
General: This experiment will determine what, if anything, the alien eats.
[Zoidberg is released into a room with a large table of food in front of him.]
Zoidberg: A buffet! Oh, if only I'd brought my wallet!
General: It's free.
[A scream of delight echoes as Zoidberg hurls himself at the buffet. Food splatters the window, followed by Zoidberg, who starts eating the food off the window.]
Leela: Oh, I'm sorry. now I'll ask you again; where can we find a mi-cro-wave?
Salesman: Sir, your wife's hysterical, so I'll address this to you. This oven is lightning fast. it takes only five hours to cook a roast.
Farnsworth: Ooh, that's good news! You know, you really don't cook enough roasts, Leela. [Leela turns the gas hob on, setting fire to Farnsworth's tie. He turns to the salesman.] Women!
Colonel: [Interrogating Zoidberg.] Why did you come to Earth?
Zoidberg: [exasperated] Not a day goes by I don't ask myself the same question.
Leela: The ship's fixed except for the cup-holder, and I should have that operational within ten hours.
Professor Farnsworth: You've got eight!
- "When Aliens Attack" (1ACV12)
- All Purpose Spray makes a second appearance. In "When Aliens Attack" the can doesn't have anything written on it but this time it does say "All Purpose Spray".
- "Anthology of Interest I" (2ACV16)
- This episode explains why the universe was destroyed. Had Fry not been frozen, it would create a paradox and destroy the timeline.
- "Parasites Lost" (3ACV02)
- Fry's sperm production problem was healed. He was made sterile in "Fry and the Slurm Factory". It is conceivable that it was cured before "Parasites Lost" though this is the first time his cure is confirmed. Zoidberg is seen riding a sperm in the episode "Parasites Lost" as well.
- "A Taste of Freedom" (4ACV05)
- Zoidberg states that two of his three hearts (one having been removed) are having attacks.
- "The Why of Fry" (4ACV10)
- One of the Nibblonians says that Fry's lack of the delta brainwave is "a genetic abnormality, which resulted when [he] went back in time and performed certain actions, which made [him his] own grandfather".
- Bender's Big Score
- Fry tells the Professor that he time-travelled "when [they] went back to Roswell". The Professor does not remember this.
- Into the Wild Green Yonder
- The Number 9 Man tells Fry that he has an unreadable brainwave, perhaps referring to his lack of the delta brainwave.
- "The Late Philip J. Fry" (6ACV07)
- The Professor invents a forward time machine with the argument that it would prevent someone doing something disgusting, such as sleeping with one's own grandmother.
- "All the Presidents' Heads" (6ACV23)
- After Fry takes Paul Revere's second lamp, Professor Farnsworth tells him, "You've really screwed the granny this time."
- This episode has many Star Trek references:
- On the table in the diner, there's a Starfleet emblem in the glossy table pattern.
- Fry pushing Enos out of the way of an oncoming car is reference to "The City on the Edge of Forever" from Star Trek: The Original Series.
- The episode shares much in common with the episode "Little Green Men" of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
- The time hole looks almost exactly like the Bajoran Wormhole from the Deep Space Nine episode "Emissary".
- The Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations" where Dr Bashir thinks he may have been sent back to become his own grandfather.
- The fate of Bender's head is a parody of the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Time's Arrow" in which Data's head is detached in the 19th century and found in an archaeological dig in 2368.
- This episode also references Star Trek in general as Leela claims she will have the last of the ship fixed in ten hours Farnsworth in the classic fashion of Star Trek reduces that time by a couple of hours. In this case however the part of the ship that is broken is the cup holder.
- This episode has many references to The Simpsons:
- One of the stores in the episode is called Gil's Televisual Radios. Gil Gunderson is a character from The Simpsons who sells many different items.
- One of the clocks they fly past and that ends up inside the ship is the cat clock from the Simpsons' house.
- The way Enos' sergeant yells "Enos!" is like the way Gary Chalmers yells "Skinner!", which in turn is derived from the Sergeant's similar yell in Gomer Pyle.
- Zoidberg seems to have a tongue similar to the ovipositor of the facehugger alien from the Alien movies.
- This episode spoofs Independence Day when Zoidberg throws himself against the glass of the containment room, to the horror of the onlookers. This scene may also recall the Star Trek: TNG episode "Genesis," in which a spider-like Lt. Barclay startles Captain Picard by pressing his face to the viewports in Engineering.
- The Professor's eyes reflecting the passing colours in the vortex is a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
- The drawing on the bomb is a reference to the crude cartoons and slogans scrawled on many American bombs during the Second World War, which also is referenced in Dr. Strangelove.
- In the final scene, Bender, having been left behind in the Roswell desert, is recovered by the crew over a thousand years later, unchanged and in the same place. When Fry and Leela appear, he tells them "I was enjoying it until you guys showed up". This might be inspired by a similar scene in Douglas Adams' The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, in which Marvin the Paranoid Android is stranded in the restaurant's parking lot for millions of years. Like Bender, he shows neither surprise nor enthusiasm at finally being rescued by his former crew-mates.
- Much of the plot of this episode references the Roswell UFO incident with the Planet Express crew as the alien invaders, particularly Dr. Zoidberg, and Bender being mistaken for the alien spacecraft.
- Much of Enos' character is taken from The Andy Griffith Show's (and later Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.) Gomer Pyle, such as his accent and use of Pyle's trademark "Gol-ly!", and rumours that the show's star, Jim Nabors, was gay.
- The episode bears many obvious similarities to the Back to the Future movies. It also strikingly resembles an early draft of the script to the first film, in which Marty McFly uses the blast of an atomic bomb to reactivate the time machine, and eventually reappears in the present in a refrigerator left out in the desert, similar to how Bender's head was left in the desert for over a thousand years.
- The dramatic jeep headlight effects when they find Zoidberg is similar to The X-Files. Also when Zoidberg is being interrogated, President Truman asks if he is here to create an alien-human hybrid. This is possibly a reference to the The X-Files, although it was the humans trying to create an alien-human hybrid.
- This episode makes strong use of the Grandfather Paradox which is often present when dealing with time travel to the past.
- The Soylent Products that the Professor asks for come from the movie Soylent Green.
- There are some similarities to the movie No Time for Sergeants in the character of Enos and his fate.
- In a short story by Robert A. Heinlein, "All you Zombies", the narrator, through time travel and sex change, is his own mother and father. Maybe Fry's zombie reference in connection with Enos' death is a spoof of this.
- There was a song called "I'm My Own Grandpa" produced in 1947 (coincidentally, the year of the Roswell incident), which was also mentioned in Heinlein's short story "—All You Zombies—".
- The missile has a drawing of Dr. Zoidberg done in the fashion of Kilroy.
- Leela slaps Fry and shouts, "Snap out of it!" recalling a famous scene from the movie "Moonstruck," when Cher does the same to Nicholas Cage.
- In the opening scene, the supernova can be seen from Earth, but the light would not have reached Earth as it appears to be many lightyears away based on the size of it.
- Light travels far faster in the future meaning the light could easily have traveled that distance.
- When Leela is slapping Fry, the buttons on her Wristlojackimator are on the wrong end.
- When Bender crashes into the ground, his head is missing the antenna and is deformed by the crash, but when Fry holds his head, it's back to its original shape with antenna.
- When they take the satellite, it was on the bathroom roof, but when we first see it, it's on a big brick building.
- Enos died in an atomic test explosion at Roswell in 1947. The United States did no atomic explosion testing in 1947, either in mainland America or south Pacific atolls. Tests were performed in 1946 and on atolls in 1948, but none in 1947, for whatever reason.
- The United States also never tested nuclear weapons near Roswell, New Mexico. Tests in the continental USA were performed at the Nevada Test Site, in a completely different state.
- Perhaps Fry drove Enos far away to "protect" him.
- Fry stares directly at a nuclear blast, which should permanently blind him.
- He looks at it after it has gone off. It is the light from the initial explosion that will blind you, looking at the mushroom is perfectly okay.
- The Statue of Liberty carries her trademark torch instead of a tube, which it carries in "Space Pilot 3000", or a ray gun, which it carries in the opening sequence.
- Presumably the arm was rebuilt after it was destroyed at the end of "When Aliens Attack".
- When Enos and Fry sit in the diner there are normal city-buildings across the street. When Leela and Farnsworth order a meal from Mildred there you can see Roswell Airbase.
- Perhaps the diner has windows on two sides.
- The fighters on the ground were P-51Ds but the airborne fighters chasing the ship were P-51As, which in real life had been largely phased out of the U.S military.
- Fry says that if watching a supernova explode is anything like his old Chevy Nova, then it would light up the night sky, even though it was established in "Space Pilot 3000" and "Jurassic Bark" that Fry had a bicycle (though the bike could have been his mode of transportation while working as a delivery boy for Panucci's Pizza) and doesn't know how to drive. Although Fry has in other episodes mentioned driving a car for example in "The Lesser of Two Evils" he is able to drive, albeit badly, a car at Past-O-Rama.
- Perhaps Fry had a car in the past (possibly the Chevy Nova), but it either got stolen, or (as stated), it blew up ("lit up the night sky").
- When Bender's head falls out of the Planet Express Ship, we see it fall towards an areal view of Roswell. The Pecos River, which flows along the eastern edge of the city, is noticeably absent from the shot.
- Bender's head was buried in the desert for 1000 years, but when Fry digs him up, Bender shows no ill effects from going without alcohol for that time, like he did in "I, Roommate" and "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz". Though he may have offlined, this is backed up when he states that during his retirement he wants to switch his "on" switch to "off" during the episode "Insane in the Mainframe" and back in this episode he says "I was enjoying it [being stuck in a hole] until you guys showed up." This suggests that Bender enjoys being offline and presumably Robots don't use up alcohol when they're off.
- In the episode "The Luck of the Fryrish" it appears Fry inherited his hair color and shape from his mother. Yet in this episode Enos's hair has the trademark Fry calic and red hair. Enos's hair should have looked like Yancy's.
- It's possible Fry inherited his hair from his grandfather (himself) and Yancy, Sr. also inherited his hair from his grandfather (himself).
- When Fry is walking on the base right before he pushes his grandfather when he thinks he will be run over by the jeep there is no pile of rusty bayonets.
- When Fry screams at Enos's crotch he screams for his dad with the line "everything's going to be alright dad". Yet all signs point to Enos's side of the family being Fry's mothers side, not his fathers side.
- A production sketch confirms Enos is in fact a Fry.

Bill Benzon has posted at The Valve his reflections upon a recent article by Geoffrey Harpham ("Science and the Theft of Humanity"). Harpham has many lines that will sound familiar from the debates that have unfolded at this blog (e.g. "While humanistic scholars have been presuming core facts about human nature, human capacities and human being, scientists have been getting to work"). Harpham's conclusion:
We stand today at a critical juncture not just in the history of disciplines but of human self-understanding, one that presents remarkable and unprecedented opportunities for thinkers of all descriptions. A rich, deep and extended conversation between humanists and scientists on the question of the human could have implications well beyond the academy. It could result in the rejuvenation of many disciplines, and even in a reconfiguration of disciplines themselves—in short, a new golden age.
Benzon's rejoinder:
No doubt, but first we have to get to it. The (in)famous structuralism symposium at Hopkins back in the 1960s had similar aims. We've got more interdiciplinary centers now than we did back then, but the same old departmental structures still run things. The ground plan is still the one we inherited from 19th century Berlin.
I'd like to see it happen, I've been waiting 30 years, I'm not holding my breath.
The unfolding comments also make good reading.

New York Commercial Auto Insurance
Request a QuoteEven if your commercial vehicles are not the primary way your business makes money, its always smart to properly insure the vehicles you depend on as a business owner.
Commercial auto insurance in New York is different than personal vehicle insurance. In many cases, not only are there multiple vehicles to cover, but also the liability from accidents or claims that will extend to your business as a whole.
Making sure the coverage for your commercial auto insurance is comprehensive is one the the easiest ways to protect your business. Don't hesitate, call today
Worried about costs?
Don't be. Commercial auto insurance is remarkably inexpensive.
What should my business auto policy cover?
New York Commercial auto insurance can cover all of the following risks:
- Comprehensive and Collision
- Emergency Roadside Assistance
- Liability
- Medical Payments
- Loss of Earnings
- Uninsured Motor Vehicle
Why do I need such comprehensive coverage?
When your employees use a company vehicle for business purposes, their personal auto policy coverage no longer applies in the event of an accident, property damage, or fatality caused by one of your employees.
What to expect from our company
At our firm, you'll speak with an experienced agent whose main goal is to design a policy to fit to your particular business needs.
Whether your commercial vehicle is for occasional use, a possible new venture, or a daily necessity, we are here to make sure coverage is applicable and answer any questions you may have.
A cautionary tale
As one business owner found out, it's always best to ask if you don't know what type of policies you may need.
This owner had a love for fashion and a knack for finding gently used clothing. One day, she decided to take a leap of faith and open her own vintage clothing boutique.
It didn't take long for business to start booming for the boutique. It wasn't long before she had an epiphany: Why not complete personal deliveries for locals?
It wasn't long before she was making deliveries, when the unthinkable occurred: she backed into a young man on a bicycle. While he was not seriously injured, he was hospitalized overnight for monitoring.
The next day a claims adjuster called to inform her that since she was doing business at the time of the accident, the claim would not be covered by her personal insurance policy.
Stuck with a huge hospital bill and letter of lawsuit from the biker's attorney, she was forced to shut down her business.
Answer this one question:
Can you afford to expose your income, your personal property, and your employees to this high-level of risk? If the answer is "no," then we can help.
Why we're different
While most insurance products are similar in price and function, insurance providers are very different when it comes to structuring a policy that actually covers you.
There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all insurance policy when it comes to your business.
We're your neighbors. We protect businesses and people we know and care about, and that means we always look for ways to protect you better, including carefully choosing the insurance companies we represent, to be both affordable and responsive.
Contact us, and let our insurance professionals help you protect what you care about most.

(Scroll down for a Tuesday morning update.)
On Wall Street, investors appear to be listening closely to the growing talk in Washington about curbing assault weapons.
Share prices for gun makers were down when the stock market closed Monday, on an otherwise positive trading day. The S&P 500 Index, a broad measure of stock performance, was up nearly 1.2 percent, but shares of Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. tumbled 5.2 percent, to $8.65. On Friday — the day a gunman shot and killed 20 young children in Newtown, Conn. — the company's value fell 4 percent.
Smith & Wesson's share price had peaked at just over $11 in early December, following President Obama's November re-election. Earlier this month, the company said its revenue had surged 48 percent in the three months that ended Oct. 31 — just as the presidential campaign was wrapping up.
In the run-up to the election, analysts had predicted the autumn sales gain, saying they expected consumers to stockpile weapons if it appeared Obama would win a second term.
But investors appear more concerned now about the long-term outlook for restrictions on gun sales rather than the short-term sales bounce following the election.
Sturm Ruger & Co., another gun maker, saw its stock price drop 3.45 percent Monday, after tumbling more than 4 percent Friday.
Most firearms manufacturers don't sell stock to the public. The private companies include Colt Firearms, Beretta USA, Herstal Group (the parent company for Browning and Winchester). The list also includes Bushmaster, which produces the AR-15 rifle, one of the weapon used by the Newtown gunman.
Cabela's Inc., a Nebraska-based retailer that sells hunting and fishing gear, saw its stock fall 2.7 percent Monday, after a 1 percent drop on Friday. In September, The Wall Street Journal quoted a Cabela spokesman saying the company had seen a 25 percent increase in new gun buyers immediately following the 2008 election.
Speaking at a memorial service in Newtown Sunday, Obama promised to use "whatever power" he has to prevent mass killings.
Support for gun control appeared to grow Monday, as prominent figures spoke out in favor of change. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an independent, called for tighter controls.
And West Virginia's Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat who is a longtime member of the NRA, said officials should look at possible changes to mental-health treatment — as well as laws involving "military-style assault weapons and high capacity magazines."
Update at 10 a.m. ET, Dec. 18. Slide Continues:
On Tuesday morning, investors continued dumping the shares of gun manufacturers. On Wall Street, shares of Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. fell another 8.7 percent in the first half hour of trading, down to $7.90.
Sturm Ruger & Co., another gun maker, lost 5.68 percent in the same 30 minutes, down to $41.50.
In other news Tuesday morning, Cerberus Capital, a private equity firm, said in a statement that it's looking to sell its stake in the Freedom Group, a gun manufacturer that made one of the weapons used in Friday's shootings in Newtown, Conn.

Generation Y is asking why.
Why is it so hard to find a job? Why is health care so expensive? Smart questions from a smart generation. Their inquiries — and the presidential candidate they think can provide the best answers — could be a decisive factor in the 2012 election. If not the Tipping Point, as least a Tilting Point.
For many millennials, economic prospects are murky.
Paul T. Conway, president of Generation Opportunity, a nonpartisan think tank focusing on the economics of young Americans, says his polling shows that those between the ages of 18 and 29 have a 12.7 percent unemployment rate — much higher than the national average. That, coupled with the 1.7 million young people who have given up looking for work, yields "the highest sustained unemployment levels since World War II," says Conway.
Of the presidential debates that begin Wednesday, Conway says young voters "will look to both candidates to have the courage to be frank, to express genuine empathy of what they are going through as people in a tough economy, and to respect their intelligence as informed voters."
New Generation Opportunity polling data released today reveal that only 29 percent of millennials believe that the economic policies crafted in Washington are actually helping them, while 47 percent say they are hurting them.
Other findings: Only 38 percent believe that contemporary politicians reflect the interests of young Americans. Half of those surveyed said a candidate's position on issues and his record in office are more important than other factors in choosing a president; only 11 percent said a candidate's charisma and likability will be more important. And 59 percent of millennials say they plan to learn more about the policy positions of the presidential candidates in 2012 than they did in 2008.
Previous polling by the Virginia-based firm has also shown that more than 60 percent of young people feel that full-time jobs and affordable health care are more important issues than student loan rates. Some 76 percent say they plan to vote in the presidential election. And, Conway says, while Obama received 66 percent of the young adult vote in 2008, this time around polling results from JZ Analytics (Aug. 14) show that only 49 percent of young adults plan to vote for Obama.
When Obama and Mitt Romney face off against one another in three debates this month, they will be asked questions by seasoned moderators — Jim Lehrer, Candy Crowley and Bob Schieffer — all of whom are over 60.
So NPR thought it might be a good idea to ask a couple of young people what questions they would ask of the candidates, if given the opportunity.
Chairwoman of the Georgetown University College Republicans, Maggie Cleary, 21, is from Springfield, Va., and majoring in American studies and philosophy. She would ask President Obama:
The president of the College Democrats of Ohio, Daniel Rajaiah, 21, from Cincinnati, is a political science major at the University of Dayton. He would ask Mitt Romney:
"Unlike previous debates," Conway says, "this series of debates will be watched, shared, commented on and vigorously discussed among young Americans for weeks to come both on social media as well as in person. What all Americans should understand is that young adults know full well what is at stake in the 2012 election both for themselves and their country. "

Preface To Volume One of "Radio Replies"
By RT. REV. MSGR. FULTON J. SHEEN, D.D
There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church which is, of course, quite a different thing. These millions can hardly be blamed for hating Catholics because Catholics "adore statues"; because they "put the Blessed Mother on the same level with God"; because they say "indulgence is a permission to commit sin"; because the Pope "is a Fascist"; because the "Church is the defender of Capitalism." If the Church taught or believed any one of these things it should be hated, but the fact is that the Church does not believe nor teach any one of them. It follows then that the hatred of the millions is directed against error and not against truth. As a matter of fact, if we Catholics believed all of the untruths and lies which were said against the Church, we probably would hate the Church a thousand times more than they do.
If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hates. My reason for doing this would be, that if Christ is in any one of the churches of the world today, He must still be hated as He was when He was on earth in the flesh. If you would find Christ today, then find the Church that does not get along with the world. Look for the Church that is hated by the world, as Christ was hated by the world. Look for the Church which is accused of being behind the times, as Our Lord was accused of being ignorant and never having learned. Look for the Church which men sneer at as socially inferior, as they sneered at Our Lord because He came from Nazareth. Look for the Church which is accused of having a devil, as Our Lord was accused of being possessed by Beelzebub, the Prince of Devils. Look for the Church which, in seasons of bigotry, men say must be destroyed in the name of God as men crucified Christ and thought they had done a service to God. Look for the Church which the world rejects because it claims it is infallible, as Pilate rejected Christ because He called Himself the Truth. Look for the Church which is rejected by the world as Our Lord was rejected by men. Look for the Church which amid the confusion of conflicting opinions, its members love as they love Christ, and respect its Voice as the very voice of its Founder, and the suspicion will grow, that if the Church is unpopular with the spirit of the world, then it is unworldly, and if it is unworldly, it is other-worldly. Since it is other-worldly it is infinitely loved and infinitely hated as was Christ Himself. But only that which is Divine can be infinitely hated and infinitely loved. Therefore the Church is Divine.
If then, the hatred of the Church is founded on erroneous beliefs, it follows that basic need of the day is instruction. Love depends on knowledge for we cannot aspire nor desire the unknown. Our great country is filled with what might be called marginal Christians, i.e., those who live on the fringe of religion and who are descendants of Christian living parents, but who now are Christians only in name. They retain a few of its ideals out of indolence and force of habit; they knew the glorious history of Christianity only through certain emasculated forms of it, which have married the spirit of the age and are now dying with it. Of Catholicism and its sacraments, its pardon, its grace, its certitude and its peace, they know nothing except a few inherited prejudices. And yet they are good people who want to do the right thing, but who have no definite philosophy concerning it. They educate their children without religion, and yet they resent the compromising morals of their children. They would be angry if you told them they were not Christian, and yet they do not believe that Christ is God. They resent being called pagans and yet they never take a practical cognizance of the existence of God. There is only one thing of which they are certain and that is that things are not right as they are. It is just that single certitude which makes them what might be called the great "potentials," for they are ready to be pulled in either of two directions. Within a short time they must take sides; they must either gather with Christ or they must scatter; they must either be with Him or against Him; they must either be on the cross as other Christs, or under it as other executioners. Which way will these marginal Christians tend? The answer depends upon those who have the faith. Like the multitudes who followed Our Lord into the desert, they are as sheep without a shepherd. They are waiting to be shepherded either with the sheep or goats. Only this much is certain. Being human and having hearts they want more than class struggle and economics; they want Life, they want Truth, and they want Love. In a word, they want Christ.
It is to these millions who believe wrong things about the Church and to these marginal Christians, that this little book is sent. It is not to prove that they are "wrong"; it is not to prove that we are "right"; it is merely to present the truth in order that the truth may conquer through the grace of God. When men are starving, one need not go to them and tell them to avoid poison; nor to eat bread because there are vitamins in bread. One need only go to them and tell them that they are starving and here is bread, and the laws of nature will do the rest. This book of "Radio Replies" with 1,588 questions and answers goes out on a similar mission. Its primary task is not to humble the erroneous; not to glorify the Catholic Church as intellectual and self-righteous, but to present the truth in a calm, clear manner in order that with the grace of God souls may come to the blessed embrace of Christ.
It is not only the point of "Radio Replies" to prove that the Church is the only completely soul-satisfying Church in existence at the present day; it is also to suggest that the Catholic Church is the only Church existing today which goes back to the time of Christ. History is so very clear on this point, it is curious how many minds miss its obviousness. When therefore you, the readers of "Radio Replies" in the twentieth century, wish to know about Christ and about His early Church, and about His mysteries, we ask you to go not only to the written records but to the living Church which began with Christ Himself. That Church or that Mystical Person which has been living all these centuries is the basis of our faith and to us Catholics it speaks this way: "I live with Christ. I saw His Mother and I know her to be a Virgin and the loveliest and purest of all women in heaven or on earth; I saw Christ at Caesarea-Philippi, when, after changing Simon's name to Rock, He told him he was the rock upon which the Church would be built and that it would endure unto the consummation of the world. I saw Christ hanging on a cross and I saw Him rise from His tomb; I saw Magdalene rush to His feet; I saw the angels clad in white beside the great stone; I was in the Cenacle room when doubting Thomas put fingers into His hands; I was on Olivet when He ascended into heaven and promised to send His Spirit to the apostles to make them the foundation of His new Mystical Body on earth. I was at the stoning of Stephen, saw Saul hold the garments of those who slew him, and later I heard Saul, as Paul, preach Christ and Him crucified; I witnessed the beheading of Peter and Paul in Rome, and with my very eyes saw tens of thousands of martyrs crimson the sands with their blood, rather than deny the faith Peter and Paul had preached unto them; I was living when Boniface was sent to Germany, when Augustine when to England, Cyril and Methodius to the Poles, and Patrick to Ireland; at the beginning of the ninth century I recall seeing Charlemagne crowned as king in matters temporal as Peter's vicar was recognized as supreme in matters spiritual; in the thirteenth century I saw the great stones cry out in tribute to me, and burst into Gothic Cathedrals; in the shadows of those same walls I saw great Cathedrals of thought arise in the prose of Aquinas and Bonaventure, and in the poetry of Dante; in the sixteenth century I saw my children softened by the spirit of the world leave the Father's house and reform the faith instead of reforming discipline which would have brought them back again into my embrace; in the last century and at the beginning of this I heard the world say it could not accept me because I was behind the times. I am not behind the times, I am only behind the scenes. I have adapted myself to every form of government the world has ever known; I have lived with Caesars and kings, tyrants and dictators, parliaments and presidents, monarchies and republics. I have welcomed every advance of science, and were it not for me the great records of the pagan world would not have been preserved. It is true I have not changed my doctrine, but that is because the doctrine is not mine but His who sent Me. I change my garments which belong to time, but not my Spirit which belongs to eternity. In the course of my long life I have seen so many modern ideas become unmodern, that I know I shall live to chant a requiem over the modern ideas of this day, as I chanted it over the modern ideas of the last century. I celebrated the nineteen-hundredth anniversary of the death of my Redeemer and yet I am no older now than then, for my Spirit is Eternal, and the Eternal never ages. I am the abiding Personage of the centuries. I am the contemporary of all civilizations. I am never out of date, because the dateless; never out of time, because the timeless. I have four great marks: I am One, because I have the same Soul I had in the beginning; I am Holy, because that Soul is the Spirit of Holiness; I am Catholic, because that Spirit pervades every living cell of my Body; I am Apostolic, because my origin is identical with Nazareth, Galilee and Jerusalem. I shall grow weak when my members become rich and cease to pray, but I shall never die. I shall be persecuted as I am persecuted now in Mexico and Russia; I shall be crucified as I was on Calvary, but I shall rise again, and finally when time shall be no more, and I shall have grown to my full stature, then shall I be taken into heaven as the bride of my Head, Christ, where the celestial nuptials shall be celebrated, and God shall be all in all, because His Spirit is Love and Love is Heaven."
Introduction To The American Edition Of "Radio Replies" Vol One
Source"Radio Replies" TAN Books "Radio Replies" by Rev. Dr. Rumble, M.S.C., is the result of five years of answering questions during a one-hour Question Box Program over Radio Station 2SM Sydney, N.S.W. The revision of "Radio Replies" for American readers was prompted by the widespread interest the Australian edition created among Protestants and Catholics during the summer of 1937, when I was carrying on as a Catholic Campaigner for Christ, the Apostolate to the man in the street through the medium of my trailer and loud-speaking system. In the distribution of pamphlets and books on Catholicism "Radio Replies" proved the most talked of book carried in my trailer display of Catholic literature. The clergy and laymen engaged in Street Preaching agree that it is not so much what you say over the microphone in answer to questions from open air listeners but what you GET INTO THEIR HANDS TO READ.
My many converts of the highways and parks throughout the Archdiocese of St. Paul have embraced the faith as a result of studying this book. Whole families have come into the Church through reading the book by this renowned convert from Anglicanism. The delay in getting copies from Sydney and the prohibitive cost of the book on this side of the universe led me to petition the author to have published a CHEAP AMERICAN EDITION in order to get this Encyclopaedia of Catholic Doctrine into the hands of fellow citizens. Because of the author's genius for brevity, preciseness, fearlessness and keen logic that avoids the usually long Scriptural and Traditional arguments of the average question and answer book, which is beyond the capacity of the man in the street, this manual of 1,588 questions and replies has already attracted readers throughout Australia, New Zealand, Africa, India, England, Ireland, Canada and now the United States.
The questions he answers are the questions I had to answer before friendly and hostile audiences throughout my summer campaign. The piquant and provocative subject matter of this book makes it a fascinating assembly of 300 or more worth-while pamphlet tracts, a dictionary of doctrine for the desk of the FAMILY, the STUDENT, the SHOP HAND, the OFFICE WORKER, the ATTORNEY, the DOCTOR, the TEACHER, and the PREACHER. It is a handy standard reference book of excellence for popular questions which are more than ever being asked by restless and bewildered multitudes. It is a textbook for the Confraternities of Christian Doctrine Classes and Study Clubs.
A non-Catholic Professor after reading the book stated that, "If the Catholic Church could defend herself so logically as 'Radio Replies' demonstrates, then I do not see why you don't get more converts." Members of the Knights of Columbus, the Holy Name Societies and numerous women's societies have written in that they no longer have to apologetically say, "I can't answer that one." Catholic students in non-sectarian colleges and universities write in that they now walk the campus with this book under their arms, ready for all challenges and that this manual of ready reference has cured their INFERIORITY COMPLEX ON EXPOSITION OF CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Lapsed Catholics have come into my trailer-office to confess that the reading of "Radio Replies" has brought them back to the Church.
I am grateful to His Excellency Archbishop John G. Murray, D.D. for his approval of this compendium of dogmatic and moral theology for readers of the American Commonwealth and I am deeply appreciative to Rt. Rev. Msgr. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. for writing the Preface to this American edition.
From my experience on the Catholic Radio Hour, on the lecture platform, and in the pulpit, I do not hesitate to say that HERE AT LAST is the book that has something for everybody, the book for the UNINFORMED CATHOLIC, THE UNEDUCATED AND EDUCATED LAPSED CATHOLIC, and the PROSPECTIVE CONVERT.
Rev. Charles Mortimer Carty
Historical Context of "Radio Replies"
By markomalley
If one recalls the time frame from which Radio Replies emerged, it can explain some of the frankness and lack of tact in the nature of the responses provided.It was during this timeframe that a considerable amount of anti-Catholic rhetoric came to the forefront, particularly in this country. Much of this developed during the Presidential campaign of Al Smith in 1928, but had its roots in the publication of Alexander Hislop's The Two Babylons, originally published in book form in 1919 and also published in pamphlet form in 1853.
While in Britain (and consequently Australia), the other fellow would surely have experienced the effects of the Popery Act, the Act of Settlement, the Disenfranchising Act, the Ecclesiastical Titles Act, and many others since the reformation (that basically boiled down to saying, "We won't kill you if you just be good, quiet little Catholics"). Even the so-called Catholic Relief Acts (1778, 1791, 1829, 1851, 1871) still had huge barriers placed in the way.
And of course, they'd both remember the American Protective Association, "Guy Fawkes Days" (which included burning the Pontiff in effigy), the positions of the Whigs and Ultra-Torries, and so on.
A strong degree of "in your face" from people in the position of authoritativeness was required back in the 1930s, as there was a large contingent of the populations of both the US and the British Empire who were not at all shy about being "in your face" toward Catholics in the first place (in other words, a particularly contentious day on Free Republic would be considered a mild day in some circles back then). Sure, in polite, educated circles, contention was avoided (thus the little ditty about it not being polite to discuss religion in public, along with sex and politics), but it would be naive to assume that we all got along, or anything resembling that, back in the day.
Having said all of the above, reading the articles from the modern mindset and without the historical context that I tried to briefly summarize above, they make challenging reading, due to their bluntness.
The reader should also keep in mind that the official teaching of the Church takes a completely different tone, best summed up in the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
817 In fact, "in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain rifts, which the Apostle strongly censures as damnable. But in subsequent centuries much more serious dissensions appeared and large communities became separated from full communion with the Catholic Church - for which, often enough, men of both sides were to blame."269 The ruptures that wound the unity of Christ's Body - here we must distinguish heresy, apostasy, and schism270 - do not occur without human sin:
Where there are sins, there are also divisions, schisms, heresies, and disputes. Where there is virtue, however, there also are harmony and unity, from which arise the one heart and one soul of all believers.271
818 "However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers .... All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church."272
819 "Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth"273 are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: "the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements."274 Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him,275 and are in themselves calls to "Catholic unity."276
838 "The Church knows that she is joined in many ways to the baptized who are honored by the name of Christian, but do not profess the Catholic faith in its entirety or have not preserved unity or communion under the successor of Peter."322 Those "who believe in Christ and have been properly baptized are put in a certain, although imperfect, communion with the Catholic Church."323 With the Orthodox Churches, this communion is so profound "that it lacks little to attain the fullness that would permit a common celebration of the Lord's Eucharist."324

Scholasticism was good for Western civilization in that it involved the establishment of the university. It also led directly to the concept of the scientific process, which has allowed the West to surpass the rest of the world in science, learning and industry.
The downside is that scholasticism tended to over-intellectualize Christianity. Clerics would debate arcane matters of the Faith. These debates usually ended with accusations of heresy being thrown about.

How Your Sleeping Position Can Lead to Back Problems
It's not always easy to narrow down the cause of early morning back pain, particularly if you don't remember doing anything that could trigger the pain. If you haven't fallen, lifted heavy items, or exercised intensely recently, your sleeping position may be to blame for your pain. Focusing on improving your sleeping position during National Better Sleep Month in May just may help ease your back pain.
The Way You Sleep Can Stress Your Back
Your preferred sleeping may be the same one you used when you were five. Back then, you could easily fall asleep in any position and not experience any consequences. Unfortunately, wear and tear in addition to the natural effects of aging can make your back more susceptible to aches and pains if you continue to sleep in certain sleeping positions.
Positions that fail to keep your head, neck, and back properly aligned and supported are more likely to trigger back pain. Stress on your joints, muscles, and ligaments increases if you don't maintain the natural curvature of your back as you sleep.
Exploring Common Sleeping Positions and Their Effects on Your Back
Do you fall asleep in one of these positions? Here's how they may affect your back:
- Stomach. Sleeping on your stomach may be comfortable, but it's not very good for your back. Stomach sleeping forces you to arch your lower back, which may cause morning pain. Turning your head in this position may also strain the muscles in your neck and shoulders. If you can't fall asleep unless you lie on your stomach, try placing a pillow under your hips to prevent your lower back from arching too much.
- Fetal Position. The fetal position is a favorite of many people. In fact, 47 percent of people prefer sleeping curled in the position, according to The Better Sleep Council. Although this position isn't bad for your back, it can lead to aches and pains in other parts of your body as you age. If you wake up with aching knees or hips, try to open up your position a little, if possible. Putting a pillow between your legs may help with knee or hip pain.
- Side. Sleeping on your side can reduce your risk of back pain, as long as you alternate sides. When you consistently sleep on the same side, muscle imbalances that contribute to back pain can occur. Using a pillow between your legs can also improve your comfort in this position.
- Back. Lying on your back is the ideal sleeping position if you want to avoid pain. The position helps preserve the natural alignment of your spine and doesn't stress any part of your body. Adding a pillow under your legs can make the position even more comfortable if you're a back sleeper.
How to Improve Your Sleep and Avoid Back Pain
In addition to sleeping on your back or side, these tips may help you wake up refreshed and pain-free:
- Choose the Right Pillow. Pillows that are too thick or thin can disrupt the alignment of your neck. Your pillow should keep your head in a natural position and not cause it to droop down or tilt upward.
- Replace Your Mattress. A worn-out mattress may cause or worsen your back pain. Mattresses typically last 10 years or longer, according to Consumer Reports. It's time to replace yours if you regularly wake up in pain or if the mattress sags or appears lumpy.
- Select the Best Mattress Type for Your Body. Price shouldn't be the only factor you consider when you buy a new mattress. Saving a little money isn't worth it if your new mattress causes you to constantly wake up with back pain. The perfect mattress should support and cushion your body without creating pressure points. The Cleveland Clinic recommends choosing a softer mattress if your hips are wider than your waist and a more rigid mattress if your hips and waist form a straight line.
