Chicago does it BIG for St. Patrick's Day with lots of fun events, parades and other Irish happenings occurring during the days leading up to March 17th. We invite you to participate in all that Chicago has planned for St. Patrick's Day 2014.
The Mulliganeers is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fundraising for children in need and their families. The 19th Annual St. Patrick's Day Fundraiser will take place at the International Brotherhood of Operating Engineers Hall (Countryside, Ill.) and the cost is $75 per person, which includes food, beer, wine and entertainment by Maggie Speaks.
To learn more, please visit, http://www.mulliganeers.org/pdf/MUL-13001_StPatsInvite2014_5-1.5x8.5_131011.pdf.
ShamROCK Chicago will hold a press conference at our sponsor location Block 37 to explain the initiative and unveil a custom-created ShamROCK Chicago chalk mural by local artist Shaun Hays. More details to come.
Lightscape is located in 18 planters—each comprised of dozens of LED lights—between Lake and Van Buren streets. From 10am to 8pm each day, the installation's embedded speakers broadcast Irish musical selections and special announcements, as green lights change patterns in synchronization with songs.
"Heartbeat of Home," created by the producers and directors of Riverdance, is a music and dance spectacular featuring the dynamic, vibrant components of traditional Irish, Latin and Afro‐Cuban music and dance.
Visit http://www.broadwayinchicago.com/shows_dyn.php?cmd=display_current&display_showtag=heartbeat14 to purchase tickets.
A modern day miracle occurs each year as part of the St. Patrick's Day Parade celebration. The best place to see the dyeing is the intersection
of Michigan Ave, Wacker Drive and the river.
This year's Parade steps off at noon sharp. Parade route begins on the corner of Columbus Drive and Balbo then continues north to Monroe.
Parade route from 103rd proceeds down Western Avenue to 115th Street.
ShamROCK Chicago 2014 is an initiative to light Chicago GREEN for St. Patrick's Day. Tourism Ireland and the ShamROCK Chicago Council are recruiting iconic Chicago buildings, landmarks and other venues to participate in the historical Global GREENing Project that has illuminated monuments like the Egyptian Pyramids, Leaning Tower of Pisa and Sydney Opera House. The movement is working to make Chicago the GREENest city in the world this St. Patrick's Day.
The ShamROCK Chicago 2014 Council is a collaboration of civic and business leaders representing Chicago's many Irish organizations and businesses. They invite the people of Chicago and the world to enjoy all things GREEN as we ShamROCK Chicago the week of St. Patrick's Day 2014.

Osteoporosis is a progressive condition in which bone density is lost, or there is insufficient bone formation. This weakens the bones and making them more susceptible to fractures. Although much more common in older adults, especially women during and after menopause, osteoporosis can also occur during childhood. Most often, osteoporosis during childhood is caused by an underlying medical condition (called secondary osteoporosis) or a genetic disorder (such as osteogenesis imperfecta). Sometimes, no cause can be found and the disease is categorized as a rare form of osteoporosis, called idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (IJO).
In children, the following causes may be attributed to different forms of osteoporosis:
Secondary osteoporosis disorders (caused by an underlying medical condition):
Juvenile arthritis
Diabetes mellitus
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Cushing's syndrome
Malabsorption syndromes
Anorexia nervosa
Kidney disease
Medications, including the following:
Anticonvulsants (for seizures)
Immunosuppressive medications
Excessive inactivity or immobility
Dietary calcium and vitamin D deficiency
Excessive exercising leading to amenorrhea
People with osteoporosis may not develop any symptoms and the disease, therefore, is often described as "silent." However, children with the rare idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (IJO) may develop lower back, hip, and foot pain. In addition, IJO is sometimes coupled with physical deformities, including abnormal curvature of the thoracic spine (kyphosis), sunken chest, or a limp. The symptoms of juvenile osteoporosis may look like other bone disorders or medical problems. Always consult your child's doctor for a specific diagnosis.
Diagnosis of juvenile osteoporosis is often not made until the child has a broken bone. In addition to a complete medical history and physical exam, other tests may include:
Review of family medical history
Skeletal X-rays. A diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
Bone density test. A diagnostic procedure to determine bone mineral content and skeletal changes, such as bone loss. Unfortunately, normal values for children vary widely depending on which machine is used and the previous experience of the clinic.
Blood tests. Tests to measure serum calcium and potassium levels.
The effects of this disease can best be managed with early diagnosis and treatment. In secondary osteoporosis, treatment may include treating the underlying cause of the disease. Some of the methods used to treat osteoporosis are also the methods used to help prevent it from ever developing. Treatment may include:
Helping your child to maintain an appropriate body weight
Increasing walking and other weight-bearing exercises
Minimizing the amount of caffeine in your child's diet
Helping your child maintain an adequate intake of calcium through diet and supplements. Vitamin D is essential for normal calcium absorption.
Consult your child's doctor regarding a medication regimen.
In the case of idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis, treatment may not be necessary. IJO often resolves itself spontaneously. Nevertheless, managing the bone loss is important during a child's important bone-building years. Treatment for IJO may include:
Protection of spine and other bones from fractures
Physical therapy
Medications (to manage the symptoms)

About the Pictures Image Gallery
The cheongsam is a body-hugging (modified in Shanghai) one-piece Chinese dress for women; the male version is the changshan. It is known in Mandarin Chinese as the Wade-Giles ch'i-p'ao, and is also known in English as a mandarin gown. The stylish and often tight-fitting cheongsam or qipao (chipao) that is most often associated with today was created in the 1920s in Shanghai and was made fashionable by socialites and upperclass women.

A Hollywood actress made good on her promise to attend the Marine Corps Ball.
Mila Kunis joined the 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines to celebrate the 236th birthday of the Marine Corps. The ball began with a ceremony at 7 p.m. on Friday at the Greenville Convention Center.
Kunis arrived at the Pitt-Greenville Airport about 2:30 p.m. Friday and was taken straight to the convention center. She was captured on camera by veteran WNCT television videographer Kenneth Roundtree.
Publics affairs officer Capt. Scott Sasser said that Sgt. Scott Moore and Kunis both were "enjoying the night" as was the rest of the unit.
The celebrity date has brought a lot of attention to the ball, but the focus has not turned away from the importance of celebrating fallen troops and sacrifices that the unit has made, Sasser said.
"The Marines and sailors know what the night is about," he said. "That's been the focus the whole time."
The unit was deployed to Afghanistan for seven months and lost seven troops during that time.
Cpl. William Steffy said he was excited to celebrate the Marine Corps' birthday and for Kunis to have the opportunity to go to the ball.
"It's good that she got to come on a date with a Marine," he said.
Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Matthew Leistikow, assigned to Fleet Combat Camera Group Pacific, leads Sailors in a wedge patrol formation during patrol familiarization as part of the Fleet Combat Camera Group Pacific Summer Quick Shot 2011.

How Will the Uninsured in Georgia Fare Under the Affordable Care Act?
This state report explains how the ACA expands coverage in Georgia, including a breakdown of how many uninsured people are eligible for Medicaid, how many are eligible for financial assistance to help them buy private insurance in the new Marketplace and how many will not receive any financial assistance at all. The report also details, in specific dollar figures, the income levels at which people in Georgia are eligible for Medicaid or financial assistance in the Marketplace. For states not expanding Medicaid, the report quantifies how many uninsured people fall into the "coverage gap," meaning they will be ineligible for financial assistance in the Marketplace or for Medicaid in their state despite having an income below the federal poverty level.Fact Sheet Read More

Music has infinite potential for a child's development. The Boite offers a range of programs to involve children from a young age in creativity through music. Annually, over a thousand children are active participants in Boite programs.
"It's really fun because we are learning new songs from another culture and learning some bits of language. We also like meeting other kids. The actions are really fun and give us confidence on stage."
Lucy, Balwyn North Primary School
Boite Schools Chorus
The Boite Schools Chorus is an annual, un-auditioned chorus event presented by The Boite. Since 2004 the Boite Schools Chorus has performed in 15 major concerts across Victoria. Each year 800 young voices from upper primary and lower secondary schools and community youth choirs explore music and cultures of the world with their own choir leaders and then combine with singers from across the state in an exhilarating concert for peers, family and friends.
Students, teachers, parents and principals are all enthusiastic about this project because the music presented by our network of musicians is of excellent quality, inspires and entertains students, comes with excellent teacher support, and is organised so that music is learnt by teachers and students, and becomes part of the school culture.

O.co Coliseum, Oakland, California
W: C. Hensley (3-3)
L: R. Cook (2-2)
S: S. Casilla (20)
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Tim Lincecum labored through a 43-pitch first inning and never lost hope.Nine innings later, he finally had a real reason to smile.Brandon Belt hit a tying two-run double and scored on Hector Sanchez's single during a four-run ninth inning, and the San Francisco Giants rescued Lincecum from another loss by rallying past the Bay Area rival Oakland Athletics 5-4 on Friday night. The Giants had lost the last nine games Lincecum started."I felt like I got mad in the right way," said Lincecum, who retired 18 of the final 20 batters he faced in the most tangible turnaround of his unremarkable season so far. "I guess I channeled that madness on the field and stopped worrying about the (stuff) that happens behind me that I can't control."Same for the rest of San Francisco.Ryan Cook (2-2) walked Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval on nine pitches to open the final inning. Belt sliced a double down the left-field line just out of the reach of a diving Collin Cowgill and Sandoval blew past a stop sign by third-base coach Tim Flannery to easily score the tying run from first base.Santiago Casilla allowed Josh Reddick's 16th home run in the ninth before recording his 20th save in 21 chances. Clay Hensley (3-3) recorded one out for the victory."Great game. Great comeback. And it started with Timmy," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "There are not a lot of guys who would do what he did after all he's been through this season."What a way for this one to finish.Oakland starter Jarrod Parker gave up four hits and two walks, and struck out four in six-plus innings. He has allowed one run or fewer in eight of his 12 career starts.The A's, coming off a home sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers, were poised to win for the ninth time in 10 games until it all came tumbling down in the ninth.Cook had allowed two runs in his first 31 2/3 innings this season. After walking the first two batters and giving up Belt's tying double, Justin Christian's single sent A's manager Bob Melvin streaming out of the dugout to replace Cook after the worst -- and shortest outing -- of the right-hander's season.Joaquin Arias dropped a sacrifice bunt, and Gregor Blanco singled home Christian for San Francisco's final run. Cook was charged with all four runs."I just didn't have anything," Cook said. "That's been my hex all year, putting guys on. It came back to bite me."A rare sellout crowd of 35,067 packed the aging Oakland Coliseum with green and gold sprinkled with chunks of orange and black as the summer's second edition of the Bay Bridge Series shifted to the American League ballpark.Bochy wanted to "shake things up" by giving Sanchez a shot at catching Lincecum -- and using Posey as the designated hitter -- for only the second time this season to try to get The Freak out of his funk.Other than the first, it worked.Coco Crisp, Jemile Weeks and Reddick ripped three straight singles off Lincecum, and Yoenis Cespedes followed with a walk to load the bases. Smith's grounder to first base seemed to be an easy out -- if not a double play -- when Belt fielded the ball cleanly.Of course, nothing has been easy for Lincecum this summer.Belt missed the bag while throwing home trying to nab Weeks, who slid underneath Sanchez's tag. After Brandon Inge walked to put Oakland ahead 3-0, Shane Loux started warming up in San Francisco's bullpen. Lincecum regrouped to strike out the side -- getting Brandon Moss, Kurt Suzuki and Cliff Pennington all swinging -- and stayed in the game despite that 43-pitch inning.Lincecum allowed three hits, four walks and struck out eight. He still extended his career-long winless streak to 10 starts.The early mistakes finally weren't too much for the Giants to overcome.Sanchez singled leading off the third, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on Blanco's one-out single to slice the A's lead to 3-1. Melky Cabrera grounded out to second with Blanco at third base to end the inning, and Belt's blast in the ninth allowed Lincecum to avoid another loss."Timmy said enough is enough," Bochy said. "He took control, and pitched out of it."
Game notes
Giants CF Angel Pagan sat out with an abdominal strain. Pagan will likely DH on Saturday and Sunday, Bochy said. ... Melvin said RHP Tyson Ross (2-6, 6-11 ERA), who already arrived with the team Friday, will officially be called up from Triple-A Sacramento to start Saturday in place of injured RHP Bartolo Colon (strained right oblique muscle). Ross will start opposite Giants LHP Madison Bumgarner (8-4, 2.92 ERA).

PreSonus Studiolive 16.0.2 / Yamaha DSR115 PA Package
View All Recently Viewed Items
Top quality digital mixer and powered speakers plus accessories in one affordable package.
Presonus Studiolive 16.0.2 / Yamaha DSR115 PA Package
This package consists of a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 digital mixing console along with a pair of Yamaha DSR115 powered PA speakers. A pair of Musician's Gear All-Steel Tripod Speaker Stands, 2 TRS cables, 4 mics and 4 XLR cables are included as well.Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 MixerWith a "footprint" of less than 2 square feet, the compact, 16-channel StudioLive 16.0.2 offers 8 mono input channels and 4 stereo channels and provides 12 XMAX Class A solid-state mic preamps. Packed with features and processing power, the 16.0.2 employs the same workflow and easy-to-use mixing-surface design as the bigger (16.4.2 and 24.4.2) StudioLive boards, and sounds every bit as good, with the same high-definition, wide-dynamic-range, digital converters. The 16.0.2 integrates a 16x16 FireWire interface and comes with Capture, Studio One Artist recording and production software, and Virtual StudioLive, bidirectional control software.The 16.0.2's Fat Channel features compressors, limiters, gates, phase reverse, high-pass filters, and 3-band semi-parametric EQ. Two stereo, 32-bit floating-point effects processors deliver delay and reverb effects.Moreover, a glance at the rear panel reveals that the 16.0.2 even offers something its two big brothers do not: MIDI In and Out. You can recall Scenes from a DAW using MIDI Program Changes, control the main output volume and effects level, and even mute effects between songs.Two factors work against getting that Perfect Mix with an analog mixer. First, the Perfect Mix can be hard to reproduce a week, day, or hour after you perfect it. And second, a good mix should be dynamic: levels, effects, and EQ should be tailored to each song or segment of the show, service, or presentation. StudioLive solves this problem by letting you save all of your digital settings for quick setup and recall.Yamaha DSR115The DSR115 Active Loudspeaker features an ideal combination of advanced digital sound processing and the latest acoustic technologies for Integral Digital Tuning, plus Yamaha's D-CONTOUR (Dynamic-CONTOUR) multiband dynamic processing for Intelligent Dynamic Control. The DSR115 is loaded with 2 Class-D amplifiers with a PFC (Power Factor Correction) switching mode power supply. One amplifier deliver 850 watts to a premium grade 12" neodymium woofer with 3" voice coil and a second amplifier supplies 450 watts to a large 2" high purity titanium diaphragm, neodymium, high-frequency compression driver. A LTBD (Long Throw, Broad Dispersion) Constant Directivity Waveguide Horn spreads the sound across 90° x 60°. The DSR115 has an impressive maximum SPL of 134dB peak.

Limited Eco-Boost AWD by Fordzilla from NW Iowa on 06/03/2012. Trim: 2013 Ford Flex Limited AWD, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I'm 6'2" and my son is 3 inches taller than me and he fits in it. Thre is a lot of head and leg room for taller people to stretch out. We ordered the 6 passenger seating with buckets in the middle that move 3-4 inches back and forth to accamadate taller people in the third row. I sat back there with one of our foster kids once just to see what it was like and would be fine back there for an extended trip. We have the ecoboost motor and are getting 24-25mpg with it so far. Only have 4k miles so far so it should improve a little bit.
Cons: Ovarall paint job was a bit upseting upon the first hand washing and waxing. Found a half dozen or so spots where the clear coat was applied to heavily and allowed to run and form a drip on the bottom of the panel.
Overall review: Very impressed with the size overall as there is a lot of interior room and it is not that big and bulky going to the shopping mall parking lot. Sony navigation screen is great way to keep an eye on lots of things while driving down the road as well as a back up camera screen when in reverse. Powerfold rear seats and liftgate make it easy to transorm from family hauler to large cargo hauler within seconds. Too bad ford doesn't advertise these! I would have had one sooner.

Best Uses
Comments about Sakar Arm Bracket GPS Mount:
I bought this because I lost the GPS holder that came with my GPS. It was a little more than I had hoped to spend but it looked pretty sturdy. I bought it at the end of March...it's now the beginning of June and it's broken. One of the bottom legs fell off, the spring won't open, the actual holder fell off the suction cup and it's shakey. Every little bump you hit makes the holder face the dashboard so you have to adjust it in order to see the screen. The only good thing about it is the strong suction cup. Everything else is just awful. Please don't waste your money.

Comments about Sakar Arm Bracket GPS Mount:
I bought this mount for my T-Mobile G1. It holds my phone perfectly snug. When secured, you can see the phone will not budge. The one thing i don't like is how it's a little shaky. I'm guessing this is due to the skinny neck on the window mount.

Betting on RadioShack
Tim is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There are certainly values to be had in retail, many of which I've already discussed (Wal-Mart and Target to name a couple). The recent pressures from Europe and rising gas prices have put even more pressure on an already oversold sector - good news for the mid to long-term value investor ready, willing and able to wait it out.
As if there weren't enough obstacles to overcome, retailers focused on electronics have really taken a hit. Even the big boys like Wal-Mart and Target – though overall sales have been good – are dealing with significant hits on electronic sales. Until consumers are 100% on board with an economic recovery – and there are a few positive indicators – electronics will continue to feel the pressure.
Though not the biggest, RadioShack (NYSE: RSH) is certainly the oldest. Once a mainstay in towns across America, RadioShack is no longer the key player on the electronics block. Beleaguered $8.5 billion Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) – much of which is unwarranted, but that's for another time – heads the list of electronics retailers followed by $2.4 billion Aaron's (NYSE: AAN). Other than size, there are a couple differences that make RadioShack an appealing alternative.
With the kind of performance RadioShack shareholders have lived through – the stock is trading at less than half its price vs. this time last year – there are issues that need to be addressed. As Fool writer Seth Jayson correctly points out non recurring cash flow items are a concern. And expenses were anything but pretty in Q4 – an area management knows must be addressed.
Announcing the decision to rescind the stock buyback initiative certainly didn't please shareholders either. With so much going wrong, what in the world would an investor see in RadioShack? A few things actually.
Three straight years of revenue growth is certainly a step in the right direction, a trait shared by Best Buy and Aaron's. Of course when expenses get out of line – as they have for RadioShack– the increase in revenue doesn't equate to earnings growth. But there's no doubt that RadioShack is on firm financial footing too. It's not often you come across a company with a market cap of about $683 million and cash of nearly $592 million. True the $670 million in debt takes some of the luster off of the cash pile, but that's part of the reason the company is trading so cheaply - at just over 10 times earnings. That's a tad more expensive than Best Buy's 8.46 P/E but considerably less than Aaron's 18+.
What all this leaves us with is a firm that's been beaten down - and rightfully so – but isn't on the precipice. That's important because for yield hungry investors RadioShack may be right up your alley. At 7.3%, RadioShack's dividend is the highest around – this compares to 2.6% for Best Buy and a 0.23% yield for Aaron's - and management has reiterated their intention to keep it coming. Add that to a share price at or near resistance levels and the stock starts looking even better.
The investment opinions included are just that, opinions. Investing involves risk, as you well know, so consider your decisions wisely. Tim holds no position in the securities mentioned in this article.

Product DescriptionIf you've ever done a 12 hour bike race or a long adventure race, you'd know that gels can only remain appetizing for so long. After a half day of slurping down semi-liquid nutrition products, you'll crave something that you can chew. Honey Stinger Energy Bars "feel" more like normal food, but they offer all of the easy-to-digest attributes of Honey Stinger Energy Gel. Honey is nature's energy food. The bees that produce it have done the difficult work of transforming it into a just right blend of simple sugars that are easily and quickly digestible for us. This blend of glucose and fructose is 1:1 in honey and is the same as the fruit we eat. That's why honey is such a great endurance nutrition product -- it won't upset your stomach as you eat and continue on with your exertion.Honey Stinger Energy Bars are made of at least 30% honey and offer 20% of your Daily allowance of protein along with 22 vitamins and minerals, calcium, and antioxidants. They come in a box of 15 bars and are available in four flavors -- Apple Cinammon, Berry Banana Buzz, Peanut Butter 'n Honey, and Rocket Chocolate.

This truly is simplicity itself, and it is so delectable. I never took the time to make a soft-boiled egg. How can 4 minutes make it just right? Believe me; it did. I make my own flaxseed bread and with an added dollop of buttery jam how can one not make another? Thank you to Ms. Lawson.

Phyllis McGee and Helen Baker, both residents of Camden Springs Gracious Retirement Living, a seniors community in Elk Grove, are walking their first half-marathon this weekend.
Baker is 88. McGee is 84.
Despite the fact that they're a few decades older than most first-time half-marathoners, they don't really know why people are making a fuss about them.
"We're just walking," said McGee, a retired Sacramento teacher. "I've never trained, and I'm not training now. I'm offended by that. For 30 years, I've exercised."
The Running of the Elk half-marathon in Elk Grove on Sunday will provide a lot of exercise for both women. The plan is for them to be a relay team, with Baker walking the first 7.5 miles, while McGee finishes up the remaining distance about 5.5 miles.
While running a marathon might be a more impressive feat, as would walking the entire half-marathon distance, it remains inspiring when fit and healthy older adults pair up to complete a distance event.
They do not shuffle their feet, these two.
"The people who start to shuffle tend to be the ones who sit all day and watch TV," said Minette Harper, who manages the retirement community with her husband, David. "You see it all the time. If you don't use it, you lose it.
"I think Helen and Phyllis have approached being seniors in the best way possible. The more active you are, the healthier you are, not just physically but also mentally and emotionally."
Years ago, before she and her husband, Tom, bought their first treadmill, she was overweight, McGee said.
Exercise helped her slowly lose pounds and keep them off.
Now the McGees are on their fourth treadmill, which she cranks up to a steep angle and walks on for an hour every weekday.
"For me, it's just a lifestyle," she said.
Similarly, Baker said she was frequently ill when she was younger, and exercise helped her keep going.
"I always had a garden, and I went out and did a lot of hoeing and picking and all that," said Baker, a widow and retired Sacramento school employee. "I've always done a lot of walking, and I haven't stopped."
She walks for an hour or two several times each week along the streets near the seniors residence. And she likes to say that her walking shoes bear the dust of the four continents where she's traveled.
Her leg of Sunday's half-marathon ends in front of the dairy farm where she was raised now a suburban street near Franklin High School.
A Camden Springs staff member plans to walk alongside Baker during the event, and McGee's daughter plans to walk with her.
"It's a challenge for both of them," said Harper. "They're nervous and apprehensive because they've never done this before. But they're both very energetic."

KHQ - The tiny town of Ponderay has the highest property crime rate in the State of Idaho, according to the FBI. It's not something you'd expect from the small town just 2.5 miles north of Sandpoint, but the Ponderay Police Chief Michael Hutter says the statistics aren't what they seem and he says those FBI statistics are skewed.
Chief Hutter says they're skewed because so much crime comes from visitors in town, specifically, visitors who are shoplifting. He says Ponderay is the shopping mecca for people in North Idaho, with box stores and car dealerships. Ponderay has a population of about 1,143 people, but the Chief says with 250 businesses, the town has a daytime population between 8 and 10 thousand people; which increases crime all on its own. Chief Hutter says "We've had that distinction on several occasions, in the top 5 on a few other occasions, but all those occurrences are skewed because of the people we bring to Ponderay who shop on a daily basis."
Chief Hutters claims are backed up by FBI statistics. FBI shows there were only 2 violent crimes reported in Ponderay last year. Property crimes like arson and burglary were also low. However, there were 106 reports of theft. When compared to the 1,143 person population, it appears there is a high percentage of people in town committing crime, which Chief Hutter says just isn't true. He says it's important to consider the big picture anytime one looks at crime statistics for an area.

In part one of this interview, comedian Doug Stanhope talked to Maxim about playing a prison, suicidal fans, and why drugs are better than religion. In today's conclusion, he tells us what his next acting job would be, how comedy leads to sex (and free laundry!), and OJ Simpson's role in The Man Show's demise.
Maxim: When you were on Louie he wrote the part of Eddie for you. Was that diminishing sensitivity something he might have ever worried he saw in you?
DS: First of all, he didn't write it about me. He wrote it with me in mind to play it, although a lot of the things fit my reputation in comedy so it's a little tough to follow up. If he was basing it completely on me I would understand why. I mean, it's very similar to how I'd have been living if I hadn't gotten some breaks. That's how I started on the road - I was exactly that guy. I lived out of my car for three years just doing city bar gigs anywhere. If I was my age still doing that…you can do that when you're 24 years old and people think, hey, it's "Go out there and get 'em. Make the world your own, little guy. Here's a box lunch." But if you're 44 and living out of your car people tend to stay the fuck away from you.
Maxim: Even so, as much as Eddie was troubled, he was so committed to looking for truth that he was slugging it out there in the dark in the middle of nowhere like some knight.
DS: I find it romantic. I don't know that other people would get it. I mean, that lifestyle, I can completely understand how it could be about me.
Maxim: He reminded me a lot of people I've known who were punk rock in high school and college and, you know, still are much later to their own disadvantage. It's kind of like, at what point is it punk rock to stop being punk rock?
DS: Yeah. I love those guys though. And they usually seem to be fairly happy with that. Instead of lingering around the bar at the Improv waiting to get a sitcom for 20 years they're the ones that are ugly. They don't have any ambition. I wouldn't want any of that stuff. That's why I left LA.
I do think it would be funny - this is my idea and you can put it out there. Because I hate acting, it sucks. If that weren't Louis running the whole thing and it was just some douchebag fucking director passively telling me how to act then it wouldn't have come off like that. But I thought it would be kind of funny to do what [Richard] Belzer did with his detective character that's been in different shows but all the same character. I'd just love to play Eddie in every show trying to kill himself. Like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Then you're Eddie in Breaking Bad, walking through a scene with a noose going to the bathroom. I would play Eddie everywhere. It doesn't even have to be a speaking role.
Maxim: You could get killed in one episode and get your murder solved in another one. I've actually read fans of Breaking Bad clamoring for you to show up as [Breaking Bad shyster] Saul Goodman's ne'er-do-well brother. You'd better hop to it though. They got one more season.
DS: I know, it's got to be a fucking incredible season. How are you gonna top this? How are you going to keep that level of drama?
Maxim: In your own life you have a pretty good setup. You've been joking that you're washed up but you're in bloom. What's that going to do to your schtick?
DS: Ah, that's somewhat always self-deprecating. You always want to say it before they do. There's some calculation in saying you're washed up. When you're really passionate about so many things you eventually get to a place where you want to address the things that bother you the most, or the most personal about you. Then when you've done that for a while, everything else seems like you're kind of going backwards. So it's getting comfortable with doing fist-fuck jokes again.
I like being a bar comic. I don't like theaters. They are fucking horrifying to me and it's just "Do it for the money." If all the money was the same I would never play more than 100 to 125 seats. That's where it feels comfortable. You can go into the audience without it turning into a riot and I like that. The most fun I ever had in comedy was in the up-and-coming shitty years: playing the sports bar for $200. It could be in a Red Lion Lounge up in Missoula, Montana and the girl with big hair would fuck you after the show. That was success. That was the standing ovation you were looking for. The fat girl who let you stay on her couch and do your laundry every few days between gigs.
Maxim: On a tour is it just travel, or do you get to see the city you're in?
DS: Not unless I find it interesting and usually they're not. "Oh, you've got to see the real Kansas City." No I don't. Usually I just recover because I do drink heavily on stage so if I have a couple of days off it's usually to regroup, grab the notebook. My girl goes on the road with me and if I've said something hilarious while I was hammered she writes it down. So I'll look at her notes to see if there's anything good that magically came out of a shot of ripple on New Year. Most of the places you play are not exotic locales. I hate Europe. I hate the fucking United Kingdom so badly.
Maxim: But that's where your audience broke for you way back.
DS: Oh I know. Yeah, I have to go there. But it's just aesthetically, aside from the stage. The stage is fine. It's just the rest of the day it's just—I think it just reminds me so much of what I grew up in and left as soon as I possibly could in New England. It's just cluttered and fucking ugly. All that architecture that people fawn over I find repulsive, desperate and bleak. Shit like that just reminds me of industrial Massachusetts.
Maxim: I'm going to fall back to a really basic question but I've never seen anybody ask you this. Who were your influences comedically?
DS: Well, you know I always say, the comics I listened to weren't necessarily influences. I mean I listened to all the staples of that era: Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby…but my influences have always been more my peers. Chris O'Connor was an early influence. He was a funny prick. Pepper Roach, this guy I did fraud telemarketing with, he was hilarious. Matt Becker was my best friend, and still is, when we started in the open mics when I moved to Phoenix. He's always been a huge influence.
Larry Flynt was a huge influence when I was a kid. Hustler magazine - the Bits & Pieces section. National Lampoon was a huge influence. I can still quote letters to the editor. That stuff was more influential than, you know, listening to a Bill Cosby record because your parents are there. I mean I laughed, but that didn't make me think I wanted to do that.
Maxim: You had a flap in the UK with the radio mentioning a bit you had done years back, on why the Democrats should go for Sarah Palin's throat and make fun of her baby's mental retardation. When something like that happens after all these years, do you still have that urge to try and clarify to people it's a joke? Explain to them you're making the sane absurd and the absurd sane for illustrative affect?
DS: The urge is actually hugely incremental. It's going on message boards and things like that when you see someone that's taking you completely out of context. Whether it's agreeing with you when you're right, I've spent fucking hours, you know, days fighting with people, anonymous people, just like when a fucking Jehovah Witness comes to your door and you want to argue the concept of immaculate conception to them. It's like, "Why am I wasting my time doing this?" But at the same time you can get a lot of good material out of arguments.
Maxim: It seems like as painful as your Man Show experience was, it's done so much to form you. Like it's almost the best terrible thing that ever happened to you.
DS: Yeah, I have no regrets about it, but it makes you want to write a book. Listen, here's why it sucked. I remember one of the first taping days, or even a run-through, where we're sitting in the chairs onstage and the director says "Ah, Doug can you sit up straight and act like you want to be here?" That's my whole fucking demeanor: Slouched over and miserable. [laughs] Who did you hire?
At the same time you try to play along and be polite and they're turning you into a game show host, but we had some really fucking funny ideas for that show and just one by one they shot them down. There's one that had O.J. Simpson on at the end of every episode doing, like, an Andy Rooney piece, introducing him as a Heisman trophy award winner and then he bitches for two minutes about ATM fees or something and not even acknowledge the whole murder thing. But it never would have been The Man Show. It never would have fit the template. [Original hosts Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel] were making jokes about boobs and remote control parts and chimpanzees while we were already laughing at rape and death. We just weren't the guys for the job.
Maxim: It sounds like you get some pretty interesting stories everywhere you go.
DS: Yeah, but I forget most of those stories until someone brings them up. That's why I was thinking about writing a--I'm calling it a blotto-biography--where I'll find old friends and wait for the stories to come: an autobiography trip.

We sat down with French wine expert Sheri Sauter Morano. She gave us her tasting notes on French wines and we gave her some of ours. I think you can guess who was more helpful.
Carignan Vieilles vignes, Mas Lavail Terre d'Ardoise, 2007
Sheri Sauter Morano: Grown on black schist soils in the town of Maury, this wine is concentrated, flavorful and well-made. Carignan has
historically been a bit of a workhorse grape and not a grape that is usually praised for producing high quality wines.
Maxim Editor Cory: This is an awesome wine for the price. It's not too sweet and not too sharp. It's really nicely balanced for a $10 wine.
Cedre Heritage, Chateau du Cedre, AOC Cahors, 2008
Sheri Sauter Morano: Before Malbec was brought to Argentina, it was grown in France. The wine is fairly full bodied with rich, ripe fruit and
firm, but supple tannins. I would advise pairing this wine with a great cut of beef - it's a match made in heaven.
Maxim Editor Cory: This tastes like something I could bring to a BBQ. Anyone want to invite me to a BBQ?
Clos de Nouys Moelleux, Clos de Nouys , AOC Vouvray, 2008
Sheri Sauter Morano: I would lean towards calling it more semi-sweet than very sweet. This wine, which also happens to be Kosher, is delicious on its own, but I would also recommend pairing it with a variety of different spicier dishes. I would suggest experimenting with your favorite Thai and Indian dishes to see what works for your palate.
Maxim Editor Cory: This wine is a little on the sweet side for me. But if I had a girlfriend, or any friends who were girls, I would pour them a glass of this.
Blason d'Aussieres, Domaine Barons de Rothschild, AOC Corbieres, 2006
Sheri Sauter Morano: The Blason d'Aussieres is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan and shows aromas and flavors typical of Corbières
with cherries, raspberries and an earthy, garrigue-like note.
Maxim Editor Cory: I think I understood only two words Sheri said. But I like this wine. Am I a connoisseur now?
Lucien Albrecht brut rosé, Lucien Albrecht, AOC Alsace, NV
Sheri Sauter Morano: If you enjoy dry rosés or lighter-bodied reds during the warm spring and summer months, then this is a wine you should definitely try. Made from 100% Pinot Noir from the region of Alsace, this dry sparkler offers wine drinkers a wonderful change of pace.
Maxim Editor Cory: This is a pink wine, but I'm man enough to admit that it's delicious. When the weather turns warmer, this will be a staple in my home bar.
