Thanks everyone for entering!!
I LOVE your blog and have gotten so many great ideas from it. THANK YOU!!!
Hi! I really enjoy reading your blog. Last night I bought some Ritz Flipz crackers and I dipped them in white chocolate and let them cool. Then I dipped them in milk chocolate and sprinkled some toffee bits on top. To finish them off I drizzled some white chocolate on top. They are super cute treats and delicious too! Thanks for your baking inspiration.
I like you!
I like you.
Maybe even love you.
But you know that ;)
Merry Christmas!!!
I love your blog! I check it regularly and your sense of humor cracks me up. Thanks for making approachable recipes. Right now if I were to buy a gift for myself it would be a cookie carrier. I brought cookies to a cookie exchange at work today in a cake carrier and it doesn't quite fit the bill.
Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful recipes! You've inspired me to bake more, and my family appreciates that :)
I love your blog anyways.... but this giveaway makes it better since its right before the holidays too! =)
That recipe looks yummy. Love reading your blog.:)
Kids love anything with cookies in it...why not fudge. Love your blog! brittanymcardle at gmail dot come
I really want some of that cookeis and cream fudge, but I'd take $180 too!
Yum!!! These look so good. What a treat!

I have so many of your recipes saved in my baking wishlist. Now adding another!
1. You have great recipes! and your photography is so pretty too!
2. In all the holiday hullabaloo I managed to put my cell phone through the wash on Monday. The money would pay my insurance to get a new one!
Ohhh, that fudge looks amazing!!!
First of all, I love your style and writing on your blog. Its really what inspired me to start my blog- I was like " I want to be just like her!" Anyways, If I had $180 dollars, I would probably by myself a new rug for our living room, or linen for my boys room- they are still stuck with the flowered guest linen!
i'm probably going to be thinking about this fudge ALL DAY!
I have a daily list of blogs to check. You're at the top! Keep it going!
I just found your blog a few weeks ago and am really enjoying it! It makes my mouth water :)

just recently started following you. i like your writing style. yesterday for lunch i had leftover corn pudding from Thanksgiving (it had been frozen).
I should probably start wrapping presents. My kids' gifts are all "hidden" under the bed. They're young enough I can still do that. I tried getting my husband to use that same hiding spot for my gifts, but for some reason he refused!
Anything Oreo can't go wrong, will have to add this to my arsenal of yummy treats for sure! Thanks for the recipe!
I love your blog, you are so creative and inspiring!Your sweet treats are amazing! Love how you write, I feel like you are talking to ME :)so when I read it, it's like I'm with a friend. You are special that way!

I will be making this fudge this weekend--I see it becoming a fast favorite in our house!!

I love your blog so much! You always post the most delicious looking things and I always try to make most of them. My husband isn't very supportive. He thinks we are all going to get fat, but we cant if I make it, have a piece, and give the rest away. We will just have fat neighbors and that will make us look even skinnier. Ha.
I love your blog!! i would buy me some more baking items

This recipe looks so interesting...my husband is obsessed with cookies and cream ice cream so I bet he will be in heaven with this fudge. Thank you, your recipes are always fun and truly make you want to start baking!
I love your sense of humor and all your GREAT recipes!
Fudge definitely has the best effort to payoff ratio of any holiday treat. Time to stock up on marshmallow fluff!
I would use this to help our neighbors by Christmas gifts this year, they recently found out their 8 year old son has cancer.
I LOVE your site and it always brings a smile to my face!
Merry Christmas and God Bless!
I was sad that Holland did not have the ingredients I needed for that mix you made. Those Santa hats rock my world!! Now I'm back in Canada for Christmas and I am definitely trying it out. THanks!

Companies based in South Jeffco have one more option when it comes to housing temporary employees after the Homewood Suites opened Oct. 8, offering an upscale, long-term hotel option.
Only problem is, those who stay there may not want to leave.
"It's just like home," said Jim Land, who also is general manager of the new hotel's sister property across the street, the Hampton Inn.
Land would be right if every wayfarer had a plush queen- or king-size bed at home, along with a flat-screen LG television and free high-speed Internet in every room.

I hate computersMarch 10, 2010 at 2:30 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 1 Comment
Tags: computers, flare, RA, rhematoid arthritis, rheumatoid, Rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), stress, Ulric Computers
As someone in the office said today, 'I love what they do … I just wish they did it better'. I had an unbelievable computer day yesterday. My work computer finally died. We won't go into the fact that I've been saying 'the C drive's dying' for a couple of months and the IT guy's been going, 'Oh no it isn't …' Suffice it to say, it did.
After one HELL of a day I went out for a very pleasent evening of sewing and chatting with the local quilting group (where I don't quilt but do sew and chat), came home and thought ' better check my email' … so I turned on my laptop and it broke. Honest – just like that. The on button became an 'in button' – permenantly pressed in and fallen down inside the computer.
I really thought that was the end of my computer, but I'd gone through stressed and out the other side yesterday and I was, extraordinarly, completely calm! I just decided I didn't have room or energy to worry about anything else and what would be would be.
I did think all the stress was bringing on a flare last night, but it hasn't happened – whether that's because of my determination not to get stressed about this latest thing and to calm myself down, or whether it was never going to happen anyway I shall never know.
Anyway, to 'cut stories long and short', I phoned the local IT shop this morning, explained the situation, got a very poor prognosis but 'bring it in and we'll look at it …' I did, he did, he jammed a screwdriver in a place I wouldn't have dared tamper with and yanked off part of the top and then stood there going, 'But … but, but, but, but… but …' interspersed with 'That's not supposed to be able to happen …' and 'In all my forty years in the business I've never seen anything like this …'
Astonishingly the story has a happy ending – or perhaps a happy middle as it's not totally resolved yet. He showed me where I needed to apply some superglue (of all things!) and then how to put on the bit he'd yanked off, and showed me that the laptop still works! Woohoo! He didn't charge me a penny and even said if I was nervous about putting the bit of cover back on I could bring it back in and he'd do it for me. That's customer service for you – and I've never even been a customer in there. But you know what – if I want a PC in the future, that's the first place I'll look, for sure! A 'big shout out' for Ulric Computers!
I shall leave hubby to do the supergluing – feeling far too fumble-fingered after all that, although really I'm sure none of it was anything I did!

After Secretary of State Colin Powell conferred by telephone with Foreign Minister Bill Graham, the State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said the proposal "only procrastinates on a decision we all should be prepared to take."
Boucher recalled other governments tried earlier to set a deadline for Iraq. But he said, in the meantime "we have heard from inspectors again, again and again" that Iraq had not agreed to fully disarm.
Earlier, President Bush called Saddam Hussein "a master of disguise and delay" Wednesday and mocked the Iraqi leader for disclosing some weapons that he'd previously denied were in his arsenal.
On a day in which the White House threatened Saddam with trial as a war criminal in the event of war, Bush said, "The danger with Iraq is that he can strike in the neighborhood and the danger with Iraq is that he has got the willingness and capacity to train al-Qaida type organizations and provide them with equipment to hurt Americans."
Saddam "will be disarmed one way or the other," the president declared as his administration prepared for another faceoff at the United Nations on a resolution designed to bring about the disarmament of Iraq.
In remarks before the Latino Coalition, however, Bush stopped short of repeating previous claims of an already existing link between Iraq and al-Qaida terrorists. But he did say, "The world has waited a long time for Mr. Saddam Hussein to disarm."
From the speech, Bush stepped into a meeting with President Geidar Aliev of Azerbaijan, a country 250 miles northeast of Iraq, which has backed the U.S. call for Iraq's disarmament.
On Tuesday, Bush said that if the Iraqi president and his generals "take innocent life, if they destroy infrastructure, they will be held accountable as war criminals."
In other developments:
Bush was to give a speech on Iraq later Wednesday at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative Washington think tank from which he drew many of his aides.
He was expected to argue that Saddam is a menace to the Iraqi people and that getting rid of him would make the Middle East - including the volatile Israeli-Palestinian conflict - more stable.
Bush also was to stress the prospects for democracy in a post-Saddam Iraq and the United States' intention to address humanitarian needs caused by possible war, said his spokesman, Ari Fleischer.
Offering Congress and the American public a peek into war and postwar preparations, the Army's top general said Tuesday that a military occupying force could total several hundred thousand soldiers.
Iraq is "a piece of geography that's fairly significant," Gen. Eric K. Shinseki said at a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Any postwar occupying force, he said, would have to be big enough to maintain safety in a country with "ethnic tensions that could lead to other problems."
Shinseki said he couldn't give specific numbers of the size of an occupation force but would rely on the recommendations of commanders in the region.
"How about a range?" asked Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the committee.
"I would say that what's been mobilized to this point, something on the order of several hundred thousand soldiers," the general said. "Assistance from friends and allies would be helpful."
Afterward, Levin called Shinseki's estimate "very sobering."
On Wednesday, the White House sought to minimize the impact of Shinseki's testimony, with Fleischer declining to repeat his estimate. "It's impossible to guess the exact numbers of people that would be involved in any longer-term effort," he said.
In a speech prepared for Wednesday delivery to the Council on Foreign Relations, Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., was calling on the Bush administration to work with the United Nations to name an international administrator to oversee reconstruction of Iraq.
A U.S. civilian administrator "would put America in the position of an occupying power, not a liberator," said Lieberman, who is running for the Democratic nomination for president in 2004. "And it may well widen the gulf between the United States and the Arab world."
In northern Iraq, which was pried from Saddam's control to protect Kurdish civilians after the 1991 Persian Gulf war, White House and State Department officials were holding a meeting with political opponents of Saddam's government. The aim was to help plan the kind of government that would take over in Baghdad after an ouster of Saddam.

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Junior Nick McCrory matched an Atlantic Coast Conference record by winning the sixth diving title of his career and junior Christine Wixted earned All-ACC honors for the second consecutive season on the third day of competition at the 2013 ACC Women's Swimming & Diving Championships. The Blue Devils closed out Friday's action at the Greensboro Aquatic Center with six new program records, one conference record and a number of personal-best performances.
McCrory made history Friday evening in the men's 3-meter springboard diving finals, winning his sixth ACC diving title to become the most decorated male diver in the history of the conference. He broke his own conference and school record in the event with a total score of 498.60, capturing the ACC title on the 3-meter board for the second time in his career. McCrory is now tied with NC State's Allyson Reid (1979-81) for the most individual championships by a diver in ACC history and will have an opportunity to take sole possession of the record Saturday when he competes on the 10-meter platform.
"Tonight, I just had a great time," McCrory said. "I was getting some pressure put on by [Virginia Tech's] Logan [Shinholser] again, so it was a fun competition. I'm just glad to be representing Duke."
Senior Jordan Long joined McCrory in the 3-meter final, totaling 355.95 points to place eighth. Freshman Deon Reid (10th) and sophomore Clay Pinckney (12th) also scored for Duke with their performances in the preliminary round, while freshman Kendall McClenney earned points for the Blue Devil women after taking 14th in the preliminary round of the women's 1-meter springboard competition.
"All four of our men scored and our upperclassmen, Nick and Jordan, got into the final and their experience really showed," said diving coach Drew Johansen. "The freshman girls did great as well. We're really looking forward to platform tomorrow."
Program records also continued to fall in the pool, as the 400-yard medley relay team of sophomore Megan McCarroll, junior Emily Barber, sophomore Ali Horn and junior Lauren Weaver recorded a time of 3:40.54 in the first event of the evening session. That mark bested the record set at last year's ACC Championships and earned the relay a seventh-place finish. The Duke women have set a new school record in every relay event so far with one day of competition remaining.
Freshman Kiera Molloy broke the school record in the 400 IM twice Friday while racing to an 11th-place finish in the conference. The morning session saw Molloy best the oldest remaining program record on the women's side, as her preliminaries time of 4:20.53 surpassed Amy Halligan's mark of 4:21.19, which was set in 2004. Molloy then went 4:19.76 in the event consolation final for another program record.
Fellow rookie Meghan Price also represented Duke in the 400 IM, touching at 4:36.37 in the bonus final to place 22nd. Price earned a personal-best in the event preliminaries with a 4:35.69 swim.
In the finals of the 100 butterfly, Horn matched her personal-best time from the morning preliminaries and earned an NCAA provisional cut at 54.43 to come in 10th overall. Freshman Linsay Cooper competed in the bonus final of the same event, finishing 17th with a mark of 55.75 after turning in a personal-best 55.57 performance during the morning session.
The Blue Devils had another strong showing by a freshman swimmer in the finals of the 200 freestyle, as Chelsea Ye finished 18th at 1:49.35. Meanwhile, junior Kelly Hagerty turned in a personal-best 1:50.74 to come in 23rd.
Wixted took home All-ACC accolades for the second straight year in the 100 breaststroke, moving up one spot from a year ago to place second at 1:00.49. Her NCAA provisional qualifying time of 59.95 in the event preliminaries was just .14 seconds off of the conference record in the event and demolished her own program record by over a second.
"She got a bronze last year, a silver this year, set a school record with a 59.9 this morning," said head coach Dan Colella. "We're incredibly proud of her and what she accomplished."
Junior Emily Barber also scored for Duke with a 12th-place finish in the 100 breaststroke at 1:02.95 and sophomore Katherine Plevka tapped the wall in a personal-best 1:03.43 in the bonus final to come in 18th.
The Blue Devils rounded out the evening with a pair of strong swims in the 100 backstroke, led by McCarroll's 12th-place showing at 54.49. A native of Portland, Ore., she also broke her own school record and collected an NCAA 'B' cut with a 54.24 showing Friday morning. Joining McCarroll in the 100 backstroke final was Kathryn Eckhart, who took 21st in a personal-best 55.81.
Other personal-best performances on the day included junior Eneka Lamb's (1:53.53) preliminary swim in the 200 freestyle and a 1:00.27 clocking by junior Tricia Leeson in the preliminaries of the 100 backstroke.
"The whole group has just really been on fire," Colella said. "They're getting really excited, and it's always nice when you see the hard work pay off at the end. The freshmen have been terrific - it's been a great learning experience for them. With each session they're getting a little more competitive. We have one more day and we're looking forward to it."
The Duke women are in seventh place with 174 points through three days of swimming and diving events. Virginia continues to lead the field with 560 points, while Virginia Tech (348) and Florida State (340) are in a tight competition for second place.
The 2013 ACC Women's Swimming & Diving Championships conclude Saturday, Feb. 23 with the preliminaries and finals of the 200 backstroke, 100 freestyle, 200 breaststroke, 200 butterfly, 1,650 freestyle, the men's and women's platform diving events and the final of the 400 freestyle relay.

This interview was originally broadcast on Nov. 29, 2012. This interview features highlights from the original.
Director, producer and screenwriter Robert Zemeckis is known for the Back to the Future films — which marked his arrival onto the Hollywood scene in the mid-1980s — as well as Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Forrest Gump. His latest film, Flight, which is now out on DVD, stars Denzel Washington as William "Whip" Whitaker, a heroic airline pilot with a dark secret.
Early in the film, the plane Whitaker is piloting takes a terrifying plunge after a mechanical malfunction. Whitaker — in a daring maneuver that others are unable to later re-create — manages to flip the plane over, fly it upside down and successfully avert a full-blown disaster. He eventually crash-lands the plane while saving scores of lives.
This dramatic action sequence may be the scene-setter, but the movie subsequently becomes a character drama. Upon waking in the hospital, Whitaker learns that toxicology reports were taken while he was unconscious — and they've revealed that he had alcohol and cocaine in his system when the airplane malfunctioned. He then faces charges and a hearing from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
And he has to face himself: Will he hold himself accountable?
"Basically what he and I spoke about was the character's level of denial," Zemeckis says about working with Washington. "That's what you're ultimately seeing in this performance, and that's what I think he did so brilliantly in his portrayal."
Zemeckis, whose films include the motion-capture animated movies A Christmas Carol, Beowulf and The Polar Express, is known for his use of new technologies. That said, he recognizes the pitfalls of jumping to embrace them too quickly.
"[Y]ou can go back and see how ... in the final years of the silent cinema, where the art of cinema storytelling was so magnificent, and then when they invented the microphone and sound, everything got really static," he says. "And it all had to be reinvented again. ... So what we do is we overuse [technologies] and call attention to them because they're just so much fun to have. And then ... we learn how to use them in the way that all tools of cinema should be used, which is to make them invisible."
Interview Highlights
On how Washington prepared for his role
"He had his own guide of what he was going to do, and he never really was specific with me about it. But he kind of gave me a sense of where he was going to be ... performing, like he's like really drunk, or he's just-got-a-sort-of-a-slight-buzz-on kind of a thing. One thing he did tell me that he did do, though, is he watched a lot of YouTube videos of drunks ... I guess you can go online and just watch drunks, and I don't think they know if they're being videotaped. But he would come to me and say, 'You know, I watched this one where this guy was trying to put his shoe on, and he was working on this for like, you know, 10 minutes to get this shoe on, and he was out there on the street, and he couldn't get his foot in his shoe.'"
On the subtext of the script
"I think that's one of the places where the film works on another level is: How much, as a society, do we allow this kind of reckless behavior ... this sort of irresponsible behavior? ... [E]verybody's got an agenda, you know. It's very fascinating in the movie. The NTSB has an agenda, the pilots' union has an agenda, the airline owner has an agenda. Everybody's got an agenda, and no one's actually ever, you know, thinking about, 'Well, what would actually be good for this human — or the people who perished on the airplane?' "
On learning that such a thing as film school exists
"I was watching the Johnny Carson show, and his guest that night was Jerry Lewis, and I remember Johnny saying, 'So, Jerry, I understand you're teaching school,' and Jerry said, 'That's right. I'm teaching cinema at the USC School of Cinema.' And [when] I heard 'School of Cinema,' I never thought anything like that even existed. ... I remember literally jumping up to my feet in the living room and thinking, 'My God, a school to learn how to make movies!' And the next day I went to the library and found the catalog for USC, and I opened it up to their cinema department. And right there on the front page was a photograph of Alfred Hitchcock standing in front of his class at a lectern, and I thought, 'My god, this does exist!' And so I went on this quest to get into the USC film school."
On making Roger Rabbit seem like a living, breathing cartoon rabbit
"Charlie Fleischer was the voice of Roger Rabbit, and he was on the set every day, and he demanded a costume. So the wardrobe department actually made a Roger Rabbit costume for him so that he could go into wardrobe every morning. And he had the red trousers and a big bow tie and he had that on. ... I had these rubber dolls made to scale of the cartoon characters, and I would place them in the set and we would rehearse the scene ... I would walk around holding the rabbit by its ears, bouncing it around the set, and Bob [Hoskins] would find places in the set where I would move the rabbit. ... [H]e would then move his eyes to those areas, and remember where they were, and then he would focus them on [that] point in space — because he couldn't look at the wall, or a target out of frame, because then the camera would see that he [was] looking through the cartoon character. It would destroy the illusion."
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Dave Davies; Terry Gross returns Monday. Our first guest, Robert Zemeckis, is a Hollywood veteran who directed the film "Flight," which earned two Oscar nominations. His other films include "Romancing the Stone," three "Back to the Future" films, "Forest Gump," "Contact" and "Castaway."
He also directed the innovative cartoon and live-action movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and has recently worked with cutting-edge motion-capture technology in the films "The Polar Express" and "Beowulf." "Flight," which is now out on DVD, stars Denzel Washington as an airline pilot with substance abuse problems who performs brilliantly in a mid-air emergency to save scores of airline passengers, though six people die in the plane's crash landing.
Afterward the pilot struggles with his addiction and faces the threat that he'll be held accountable for his drinking and drug abuse and blamed for the crash despite his heroic landing. I spoke with Zemeckis in November, and we began with a clip from "Flight" in which the pilot and his co-pilot are fighting to regain control of their plane as it plunges toward the ground.
DENZEL WASHINGTON: (as Whip) This is South Jet 227. We're in an uncontrolled dive and we've got a jammed stabilizer or something.
BRIAN GERAGHTY: (as Ken) Oh, lord. We're going on 7,000. I see nothing but (unintelligible).
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) When I say I want you to retract the flaps, retract the gear, trim us nose down. OK?
GERAGHTY: (as Ken) Turn down? What are you going to do?
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) When I tell you, I want you to push these forward full throttle. Can you do that?
GERAGHTY: (as Ken) Yeah.
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) OK. When I tell you.
GERAGHTY: (as Ken) Wait, wait, sir. What are we doing? Why would I turn down?
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) We're going to roll it. OK?
GERAGHTY: (as Ken) What? What do you mean, roll it?
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) We've got to do something to stop this dive. Here we go. I've got control.
GERAGHTY: (as Ken) Oh, lord!
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) All right. Now flaps.
GERAGHTY: (as Ken) Flaps.
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) Speed brakes.
GERAGHTY: (as Ken) Speed brakes. Oh!
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) Forward power.
DAVIES: Well, Robert Zemeckis, welcome to FRESH AIR. You know, I think the thought of air crashes holds a special terror for everybody who's been in an airplane, which is most of us these days. You are a pilot yourself. There's this kind of calm that pilots seem to have, or at least that I imagine them having. Right, when I read Tom Wolfe's book "The Right Stuff" about military pilots, never a moment's panic. You're just always focused on the task at hand.
ROBERT ZEMECKIS: Yeah. And what it is that I think that you're taught to do is to, you know, just work the problem. And I think when situations happen that are irregular, what does happen is that your training sort of just automatically kicks in, and you start to go through those checklists and start doing all those things that you've been, you know, going over and over in your head. And you just start to go into that mode.
DAVIES: Did you or Denzel Washington listen to, you know, cockpit recordings of, you know, of pilots that were in crises and jams up in the air?
ZEMECKIS: You know, I don't know if Denzel did, but I certainly did because I know that you can go online and hear any of the sort of what they call the black box recordings from airline incidents. And you can actually go online, I guess, and listen to, you know, pilots talking to controllers live, all day long.
But, yes, I listened to some incidents in the cockpit data recorders just to get a sense of what the sort of the tone of the pilot's voice would be. Some of them were pretty calm but then some of them, you know, you could hear the panic in their voice, that's for sure.
DAVIES: The effects on this are pretty amazing. I mean, you completely buy that this is happening and you see it from many angles. And you did this on a relatively small budget for this kind of thing at, what, $31 million bucks?
ZEMECKIS: Yeah. It was $31 million.
DAVIES: I'm sure there's a long complicated answer here but how do you make it so real?
ZEMECKIS: The short answer is I really pay a lot of attention to keeping the point of view of all this action coming from the place of character, keeping the audience with the main character. So we've set up basically these four people, these two flight attendants and the pilot and the copilot. We see this incident, basically, from their point of view and, you know, not try to start introducing panicking passengers and that sort of thing and keep them basically as atmosphere, keep the drama with the main characters.
DAVIES: It's not a spoiler to note that the pilot, Denzel Washington, whose name is Whip Whitaker, has problems. I mean, he's a substance abuser. He drinks alcohol and takes other drugs. We see this in the opening scene, and that sets up the story. I thought we'd listen to a clip here, where this is after the crash, and six people died: two crew members and four passengers.
But everybody else survived, which was, you know, due to this captain's remarkable maneuver in the air to bring the plane down. And this is a meeting where he's sitting down at a restaurant and kind of discovering what a serious situation he might be in.
He's meeting with an old friend, a union representative and an old navy buddy who is played by Bruce Greenwood and he has brought an attorney, who is played by Don Cheadle. And they're talking about what these guys are going to be facing. We'll hear Denzel Washington, the pilot, speaking first.
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) So why do we need a lawyer from Chicago?
BRUCE GREENWOOD: (as Charlie) He specializes in criminal negligence.
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) Criminal negligence?
GREENWOOD: (as Charlie) Mm-hmm.
DON CHEADLE: (as Hugh Lang) Death demands responsibility. Six dead on that plane. Someone has to pay.
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) I flew the plane inverted. That means upside down. You have any idea what that's like?
CHEADLE: (as Hugh Lang) I do. I heard the black box recordings last night.
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) Oh, you heard the - oh, are you a pilot?
CHEADLE: (as Hugh Lang) No, I'm not.
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) Then you don't know what you're talking about. All right. Let's cut to the chase. What - what - just tell me what it is I need to know, Charlie.
CHEADLE: (as Hugh Lang) The NTSB go team also collects blood, hair, and skin samples. And initial report shows that you had alcohol in your system.
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) Hmm.
GREENWOOD: (as Charlie) So that was the...
WASHINGTON: (as Whip) Doesn't mean anything. I had a couple of beers the night before the flight.
CHEADLE: (as Hugh Lang) This toxicology report states that you were drunk, and if it is proven that your intoxication was the cause of the death of the four passengers now we're going to look at four counts of manslaughter. That could be life in prison.
DAVIES: And that's Don Cheadle speaking with Denzel Washington and Bruce Greenwood in the film "Flight," directed by our guest, Robert Zemeckis. How did Denzel Washington prepare for that role? Or how did you help him?
ZEMECKIS: Well, you know, Denzel has - he's very, very focused and he's very prepared, and the only thing that we spoke about as far as levels of intoxication were, you know, he kind of had his own guide of what he was going to do, and he never really was specific, you know, with me about it.
But he kind of gave me a sense of where he was going to be, like, you know, performing like when he's really, really drunk or he's just got sort a slight buzz on kind of a thing. One thing he did tell me that he did do, though, is he watched a lot of YouTube videos of drunks. And I guess you can go online and just watch drunks.
ZEMECKIS: But he would come to me and say, you know, I watched this one where this guy was trying to put his shoe on and he was working on this for like, you know, 10 minutes to get this shoe on. He was out there on the street, and he couldn't get his foot in his shoe. And so he was - you know, he was looking at the physicality of what it is he was going to do.
But I think basically what he and I spoke about were the characters' level of denial. That's what I think you're ultimately seeing in this performance, and that's what I think he did so brilliantly in his portrayal.
DAVIES: You grew up on the south side of Chicago in a working class family, right?
ZEMECKIS: That's correct.
DAVIES: I read that you heard on the Johnny Carson show that there was such a thing as film school and decided to apply?
ZEMECKIS: That's true. That's true. That's very true. Well, right because I had no - I mean the story is, I was watching the Johnny Carson show, and his guest that night was Jerry Lewis. And I remember Johnny saying: So Jerry, I understand you're teaching school. And Jerry said that's right, I'm teaching cinema at the USC School of Cinema.
And I heard School of Cinema. I never thought anything like that even existed. And I remember, you know, literally jumping up to my feet in the living room and thinking, my God, a school to learn how to make movies. And so then I went on this kind of quest to get into the USC film school, which I ultimately was fortunate enough to do.
DAVIES: Was it hard to get in?
ZEMECKIS: Well, it was very hard to get in. You know, it was hard. I mean, you know, USC is a very, very, very, very, you know, academically driven school. You have to have, like, a 5.0 grade point average to get in. It always was that way. And I was in a strange situation because you also had to submit work to the film school.
So I had been making these small films and I sent a portfolio of my work to the film school, and I got this letter that accepted me into the film school, but I wasn't accepted into the university because my grades weren't good enough. So - and in an impassioned phone call I got on the phone with my evaluator and promised that I would go to summer school, and I'd get the grades up, and I would do everything I needed to do.
And I think I - you know, and I think she heard all the sort of passion in my voice and she said, oh, OK. I'll let you in. I'll accept you.
ZEMECKIS: But you've got to go to summer school, and you've got to get these grades up. And I did do that.
DAVIES: You made a couple of early films, "I Want to Hold Your Hand," which is about some young women trying to get into see the Beatles; and "Used Cars," which were critical, but not commercial successes. And the big breakout film, I guess, for you was "Back to the Future," which you wrote with your friend Bob Gale.
You know, it's a fun film, because it's about time travel, but it's really about these relationships, right, about this guy going and meeting his parents when they were teenagers.
ZEMECKIS: Right. Bob and I were kicking around the idea, and Bob said one day: I wonder if I would have been my father's friend if I were in high school with him? And we were thinking about our relationships with our fathers, and he said that. And he said, yeah, and he started to think, yeah, wouldn't it be interesting if a teenage kid went back in time and met his parents as teenagers. And that was the germ of the idea.
DAVIES: I read that studios were nervous about it, because it was a little too soft for some studios that were doing, you know, a lot of racy stuff - except for Disney, who thought it was a little too hardcore because a guy kisses his mom.
ZEMECKIS: Right. They were worried about the Oedipal implications. Yeah, that's true. I mean, I have a - you know, a very, very, very wonderful file of rejection letters from every studio passing on "Back to the Future." I kept them all.
DAVIES: And the amazing thing is you get it funded, and you shoot five weeks with Eric Stoltz in the lead role, right, and then had to reverse course. What happened?
ZEMECKIS: Well, it was a, you know, it's being an inexperienced director. Eric is a magnificent actor, but the comedy sensibilities of what I was doing and his sensibility as an actor just weren't working. He wasn't understanding what - where the humor was that I was seeing in the piece.
Now, you know, it's my responsibility, because I cast Eric, and I didn't do it for the right reasons, if you know what I - and I'm about to explain what that is. And that is, is that I was ordered by the studio to start the movie on a specific day, and if I - and basically, I was told if you don't start it on this day, we're not going to make the movie because we want it out for the summer.
And the actor I really wanted was Michael J. Fox, but he wasn't available So I thought, OK, I can make this movie work with Eric. And, you know, it had nothing to do with Eric's ability, but I wasn't seeing the movie working. And so I assembled all the film that I had and I ran it for Steven, and I said, you know, I don't think this is working.
And he said, you're right. It's not working. And so we went to the studio and said we want to reshoot. The head of the studio at the time literally said to me, sir, he said, you are insane. He said you are insane. And I guess I just sort of shrugged.
ZEMECKIS: But, you know, they backed my decision and allowed me to go and reshoot those five weeks and cast Michael J. And he worked literally 24 hours a day, working all day on his TV series, and we shot everything with him at night, And he never slept, and we went back and reshot all those weeks of shooting.
DAVIES: We're speaking with Robert Zemeckis. He directed the new film "Flight," starring Denzel Washington. We'll talk more after a short break. This is FRESH AIR.
DAVIES: If you're just joining us, our guest is Robert Zemeckis. He's directed the new film "Flight," starring Denzel Washington. We can't talk about all of your films, or we'd be here all day. But I did want to bring up this other memory from one that's a memorable film. And rather than introduce it, let's just play it. Let's us hear this moment.
MAE QUESTEL: (as Betty Boop) Cigars? Cigarettes? Eddie Valiant.
BOB HOSKINS: (as Eddie Valiant) Betty?
QUESTEL: (as Betty Boop) Long time, no see.
HOSKINS: (as Eddie Valiant) What are you doing here?
QUESTEL: (as Betty Boop) Work's been kind of slow since cartoons went to color. But I still got it, Eddie. Boop-boop-be-doop-boop.
HOSKINS: (as Eddie Valiant) Yeah. You still got it.
DAVIES: Bring back a memory?
ZEMECKIS: Yeah. Yeah. That's Betty Boop, you know, in glorious black and white.
DAVIES: That, of course, is from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." Mae Questel played Betty Boop, and the detective, Eddie Valiant, is played by Bob Hoskins. I mean, this was a really remarkable film and, you know, a lot of people remember it, I bet, as being amazing. And, probably, it's long enough ago that they don't remember it so well.
I mean, this is where we have these cartoon characters, who are toons, people who are - these creatures in 1947 Los Angeles, kind of live in a seedy part of town, and interact in live-action with real characters. This was the first time anybody had done this. And I know there's probably a long, complicated answer to this, too, but how did you make it look so real in 1988?
ZEMECKIS: Well, there were two artists, I guess, and one rule that we violated. One, I had a magnificent director of animation, Richard Williams, who was a very rebellious, expatriate Canadian who lived in London, and he was just a great animator. And Ken Rolston, who was the effects supervisor at ILM.
And what Ken Rolston was able to do is he was able to come up and devise a way to put, like, this three-dimensional painting on each cell of animation that would match the lighting that we did in the set to give the cartoon characters the same sort of feel of the actual practical lighting that were on the human characters.
And then Richard Williams was, you know, I said to him, I said, well, you know, what's never been done in these animation-live action movies is that they never move the camera. I mean, if you look at the scenes in "Mary Poppins" or in "Pete's Dragon" or any of those, they always lock the camera off.
And he said yeah, well, that - you know, it would be so difficult to draw the different changes of perspective. And would they feel like they're floating? And all these rules about you can never move the camera. And he said, but let's do it anyway. Let's move the camera.
And so, you know, all of these scenes with the cartoon characters, I just shot the movie like I would any live-action movie. And the animators actually found that it worked better by having the camera moving, that they were able to actually give more life to the cartoon characters, and have them feel like they're more integrated into the actual two-dimensional set.
So it was that. It was like doing something that no one had ever done before, which gives it that sort of ability to suspend your disbelief about this whole kind of weird thing that you're looking at.
DAVIES: So you'd shoot the live-action scenes first.
ZEMECKIS: Yes.
DAVIES: And if he had a cartoon that would later be throwing something in the real world, like a plate or a cup, he'd have to figure out a way to make the plate or cup move.
ZEMECKIS: Right. And then later we would go back and animate the - and back the animation into the live-action, we call the background plate.
DAVIES: But Bob Hoskins had to imagine who he was talking to. There was - it was a voice, but he had to just, what, hallucinate a rabbit?
ZEMECKIS: Right. Well, Charlie Fleischer was the voice of Roger Rabbit, and then I had these rubber dolls made to scale of the cartoon characters, and then I would place them in the set, and we would rehearse the scene. And I would walk around holding the rabbit by its ears, bouncing it around the set.
And Bob would find places in the set where I would move the rabbit. And he would then move his eyes to those areas, and remember where they were, and then he would focus them on a point in space because he couldn't look at the wall, or a target out of frame because then the camera would see that he would be looking through the cartoon character, and it would destroy the illusion.
So it was a lot of work, and - but the secret, the secret to the blend between animation and live-action working was the performances of the live-action characters. They're the one that make the illusion work.
That's why it worked so much, so well in this movie, as opposed to, say, watching a Frosted Flakes commercial with Tony the Tiger and some kid actors. And you kind of look at it and go, OK, I get the gimmick, but it doesn't really look true.
DAVIES: You've always been interested in changing movie technology. I mean, you did a lot of stuff with motion capture, "Polar Express," "Beowulf." Do you think digital technology has sort of fundamentally changed moviemaking, I mean, even in films that really don't involve special effects?
ZEMECKIS: Oh, yeah, but that's because every new - everything always did, from day one. I mean, you know, you can go back and see how, you know, we - they - in the final years of the silent cinema, where the art of cinema, of storytelling was so magnificent.
And then when they invented the microphone and sound, everything got really static, and it all had to be reinvented again, and the same when color came in. And when the invented the steady cam, every movie had a chase up and down a staircase, you know.
So what we do with these technologies is we overuse them, and we call attention to them, because they're just so much fun to have. And then we learn how to use them in the way that all tools of cinema should be used, which is to make them invisible.
So now I don't think you can even tell when a director is using a steady cam. If he's really good at his job, the camera movement won't call attention to itself. So, yeah, I think that, you know, some of the digital stuff that we're doing now, especially in editing, I find that we're - there's editing for what I call no reason.
You know, we just edit to edit. And I think we do that in films now because we can. But we'll get that out of our system and, you know, and then something else will be there that'll be the new technology of the month.
DAVIES: Well, Robert Zemeckis, it's been fun. Thanks so much for speaking with us.
ZEMECKIS: I appreciate it. Thank you very much.
DAVIES: Oscar-winning director Robert Zemeckis. His film "Flight" is now out on DVD. I'm Dave Davies, and this is FRESH AIR. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Boulder-based data storage company SolidFire announced Wednesday that it has secured $31 million in series C funding, led by Samsung Venture Investment Corp.
The round, which takes SolidFire's total funding to $68 million, will allow the company to expand sales and marketing efforts worldwide.
The company was founded in 2009 and employs nearly 100.
It makes flash-based solid state storage systems that are used by cloud-service providers.
"We feel that SolidFire has very strong leadership of all-SSD Storage Platform in both public and private cloud computing markets," said Jay Chong, senior director at Samsung Ventures, in a statement.
SolidFire also announced Wednesday a new product, the SF9010, that's designed for large scale public and private cloud infrastructures.
"The SF9010 really highlights SolidFire's storage architecture in action," said SolidFire founder and CEO Dave Wright. "The system is incredibly flexible and is designed to consume the latest flash technology available. This enables us, and our customers, to keep pace with the rapid advances in the flash market and take advantage of falling cost and rising density."

Laundry Detergents can have a major impact on allergies
People with dust mite allergies rely on allergy free cleaning products to reduce the allergens in their homes. Before, clothes needed to be washed in hot water to kill dust mites, but not all fabrics can withstand high heats. So allergy sufferers were forced to choose between ruining their clothes or dealing with the sneezing, wheezing, and itchy eyes that accompanied their allergy to dust mites. READ MORE

AO: This idea has been floating around in my head for a while. What do you guys think of trying to get Tom to enable the CMS feature for Vbulletin. If you don't know what it is, basically it is like the old prototype lab pages that AO had before the update. It would be a place that would display the best information AO has to offer. Some of the best answers for questions are buried deep inside AO, if we can enable this feature we could build webpages to display the content a lot more efficiently.
Heres a sample of what it actually is.... Please use your imagination...

- The ability to convert a post into a webpage
I'm sitting on a pile of random AGD picture/data throughout the years and would love to organize and archive what I have. What do you guys think?

This week, All Things Considered is talking to The Rolling Stones one by one, in honor of the band's 50th anniversary. Each of the Stones was asked to pick one song from their archive to discuss. Drummer Charlie Watts — at 71, the eldest statesman in the bunch — chose the song that gave the group its first No. 1 hit in the U.S.
"I chose 'Satisfaction,' " he says. "It was just the first really big record we ever made. It's an iconic riff. It just sums up the whole period, really."
Released in 1965, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is built around a simple riff by Keith Richards. Watts says that although he's the band's timekeeper, onstage he generally follows Richards' lead rather than the other way around.
"He usually starts the intros," Watts says. "And very much when we were in the early period of our existence, monitors were kind of nonexistent, so I had to have his amplifier quite close to me, and they weren't very big amplifiers. With an audience shouting, I needed that to know where the changes came, because you could very rarely hear Mick."
Speaking of Mick Jagger, he made a guest appearance in Watts' conversation with NPR's Melissa Block while the two were discussing the song's distinctive beat. Click the audio link on this page to hear more.
This week, we're talking to The Rolling Stones one by one. They're celebrating their 50th anniversary as a band and we asked each of the Stones to pick one song from their archive to talk about. Yesterday, Keith Richards riffed on "Street Fighting Man," and today, we'll hear from drummer Charlie Watts, at 71, the eldest statesman of the band.
As the Stones' website says, despite resigning after ever tour since 1969, Charlie continues to be the heartbeat of The Rolling Stones.
CHARLIE WATTS: So I chose "Satisfaction," I think.
WATTS: It was just the first really big record we ever made. And it's an iconic riff. It just sums up the whole period, really.
BLOCK: Do you remember, as you were recording it, thinking, this is a great song, this song is going to be huge?
WATTS: No.
BLOCK: No?
WATTS: No. You never think things like that.
BLOCK: It was the first number one single in the states, right?
WATTS: I don't know. It was quite a big record. I don't know if it was. I don't know, I'm sorry.
BLOCK: That's okay.
WATTS: I'm not very good at -- we need Bill Wyman for that sort of thing.
BLOCK: I read this, Charlie Watts, that originally that the song was at a different tempo. And when you re-recorded it, you set a different pace. Is that right?
WATTS: I don't remember that. Going well, this interview, isn't it?
BLOCK: You mentioned Bill Wyman, the longtime bass player for the Stones. I wanted to ask you about something that he said. He said every rock and roll band follows the drummer, except our band. Our drummer follows the rhythm guitarist, who is Keith Richards. Would you agree with that?
WATTS: That's true.
BLOCK: Yeah?
WATTS: Yeah.
BLOCK: Why is that?
WATTS: I've always followed Keith on stage, I'm talking about. I always looked to him for the time. He usually starts the intros. And very much when we were in the early period of our existence, because, you know, monitors were kind of nonexistent, so I had to have his amplifier quite close to me, and they weren't very big amplifiers. So with an audience shouting, I needed that to know where the changes came, everything because you could very rarely hear Mick.
BLOCK: This is a great song to talk about backbeat.
WATTS: I don't know if "Pretty Woman" was before this and there's another one that Stevie Wonder did that had that sort of beat in it. It came about the same time maybe. You know, a lot of pop songs, as you call them, you know. They're based around a rhythm that's become fashionable, you know, disco, something.
And that one was a fashionable one at that time.
BLOCK: Now, at that moment, the studio door in New York popped open and Mick Jagger stuck his head in with an answer for Charlie Watts.
: "Up Tight" was its name.
WATTS: Well done, Mick. That's the one. It was "Up Tight" by Stevie Wonder. Okay. How did he hear that? Oh, I'm on the air.
BLOCK: He has an answer for everything, that man.
WATTS: Sorry. The backbeat is two and four, and you hit it harder than the first beat and it's played on a snare drum. One, ka, one, ka.
WATTS: It's the loudest of the four beats.
BLOCK: When "Satisfaction" became such a monster hit, number one in the U.S. and the U.K., what was the effect on the band? How did that change things for you?
WATTS: You know, it's great to have the whole world dancing to your own song and rhythms. Fantastic to hear on the radio. You know, I never play our records, but I love hearing them, you know, go on the car radio or something. It's very, I don't know, it does wonders for the ego, doesn't it?
BLOCK: I wouldn't know, but I guess it would.
WATTS: Well, it is the highest sort of accolade you can have, really.
BLOCK: Well, Charlie Watts, it's great to talk to you. Thank you.
WATTS: Thank you. Thank you.
BLOCK: Rolling Stone Charlie Watts, who is also a great jazz drummer, his first love. Tomorrow on the program, guitarist Ron Wood with his choice. He's sticking up for a song that he thinks gets unfairly overlooked.
RON WOOD: It's really up and it gets everyone dancing, just like it says in the title.
BLOCK: You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Want to engage in a little experiment illustrating the extremes in economic philosophies, sundry views on what constitutes fair labor practices, plus basic math skills?
Go to dinner with five friends. Eat and drink. When the bill comes, pass it around and let everyone kick in their share, plus a tip. Nine times out of 10, you'll fall short of the 20 percent tip that is the industry standard. Sometimes well short.
And the next question will be the same one asked at a poker table between the ante and the deal: OK, who's light?
Tipping is one of those subjects that can spur controversy and consternation among service-industry workers and we, the served. Some diners -- and for most of us, restaurants are where we do the bulk of our tipping -- are loath to leave less than 20 percent. For a few, setting down even a 10 percent tip is like extracting blood from a turnip.
Helpful hint for those who didn't pay attention in math class: To calculate a 20 percent tip, move the decimal point one digit to the left. That's 10 percent. Then double it. Example: A $52 tab becomes $5.20, which doubles into $10.40. Round as you see fit.
Industry experts say that about $40 billion in tips are given each year. In May 2012, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed the median hourly wage for restaurant servers was $8.92, including tips. And a 2012 PayScale survey found that waiters made 58 percent of their income from tips.
Tipping may be an outmoded and unfair way of paying someone -- and there is a small amount of industry buzz about whether restaurant workers should be salaried, or tips built into the check -- but the bottom line is that this system won't change any time soon, not in this country.
For many service workers, tips are a lifeline. No tips, no rent, no groceries.
"Tips are everything to a server or bartender," says Shannon Smith, a hospitality-industry veteran who recently left the Avenue Grill in Denver for a job as a wine rep. "They make a lower minimum wage which usually works out to about $5 an hour. That money barely covers taxes. Then take into account the vast majority of these benefits offer no benefits."
Smith notes that restaurants don't offer paid holidays, and many don't underwrite health insurance. She paid $180 out of pocket for hers.
In some circles, notably Cornell University professor Michael Lyon, there has been talk about discontinuing the practice of restaurant tipping and adopting the European model, where waitstaff are considered professionals supported by salaries and benefits.
On a Freakonomics podcast in late spring, host Stephen Dubner asked Lyon, who has written dozens of academic papers on tipping, about what he would change about the practice.
"You know," Lynn replied. "I think I would outlaw it."
According to Lynn, there is enough race and gender disparity in how much servers get tipped (blond women more, blacks less) that it's an ethically dubious way of rewarding workers.
But moving from a tipping to a salaried model of compensation in the restaurant business isn't likely to happen any time soon.
"Although 80 percent of a server's income is through gratuity, the best advice I ever received as a young server in 2003 while at The Avenue Grill was from Shelly Mc-Candless, my general manager," says Randy Layman, bar manager at Ace. "She said 'never look at your tips. Good or bad, it all comes out in the wash.' She was right.
"Over my 17 years working in restaurants, the base 'acceptable' tip amount hasn't changed much," he says. "I personally believe a tip should be a reflection of the experience the guest leaves with. If you are a server and don't make good money, maybe you should stop thinking about how big each individual tip is and more about how you can make people feel special."
The general guideline is 20 percent for excellent service, 15 percent for good service, 10 percent for bad service. If you feel the need to stiff someone, you should at least file a complaint with the manager about what happened.
"One of my biggest pet peeves was junky tips on discounted tabs," Smith says. "If you got happy hour, depending on where, you probably saved 30 or 50 percent off your total bill. I think it is appropriate to tip on the full amount. If you think about it, happy hour is usually very busy, so that bartender is working harder to make those discounted drinks."
Tipping is also something of a social contract in the United States. (In Japan and Europe, tipping by tourists is often considered an insult, a tacit suggestion that the waiter needs the money more than you do, and that the owner is chiseling workers.)
You probably can't find a waiter in this country who sees it that way.
A guide to tipping: Who gets what?
Restaurants and bars are the most common places where you encounter tipping situations, but they certainly aren't the only ones.
Here's a basic guide to tipping, courtesy of the website getrichslowly.org.
Food service
Barista: No tip required, but many people drop the loose change or $1 into the tip jar.
Waiter: 20 percent for good-to-excellent service, 15 percent for so-so service, 10 percent for bad service -- but in the case of the latter, make sure it was the server's fault, and not the result of a kitchen in the weeds. A point to remember: You tip on what the bill would come to before you factor in coupons or 2-for-1 deals. You might be getting that second entree for free, but the waiter is still schlepping it out.
Bartender: $1 per drink, or 15 percent of the total tab. If you eat a meal at the bar, tip according to the rule-of-thumb for waiters.
Maitre d': $5-$25 for special efforts.
Delivery: $3 for something like Chinese takeout.
Coat check: $1 per coat
Bellman: $1-$2 per bag
Concierge: $5-$20, depending on the service. No need to tip for directions, but if they score you last-minute reservations at a hot restaurant, $5 is in order.
Housekeeper: $2-$5 per night
Parking valet: Opinions vary, but $2-$5 seems the norm.
Room service: $5 minimum, though make sure a gratuity is not already included in the check.
Shuttle bus driver: $1-$2 if baggage is handled.
Cab driver: 10 percent, $2-$5 minimum
Personal service
Barber/Stylist: 10-20 percent
Spa service: 15-20 percent
Shoeshine: $2-$5
Furniture delivery: $5-$20, or at least a cold drink
Mover: $15-$25 per person

Sturgis vs. Three Rivers II
Sturgis and Three Rivers opened their season against each other, that for bragging rights.
Tonight the two battle with much more at stake. One team will extend their season, the other begins preparing for Spring sports.
The two teams are no strangers to the district finals, one of the teams has been part of the finals since 2009.
Last year, the Trojans ended the Wildcats season 50-29.
Sturgis will be aiming for a three-peat.
In 2011 the Trojans ended Harper Creek's year with a 54-47 win.
The Wildcats were last in the district championship in 2010, when they lost to Marshall 44-42.
This season, the Trojans opened the year with a 60-36 win, but Trojan coach Keith Kurowski sees a much tougher game ahead.
"I expect a dogfight Friday, it's not going to be easy," Kurowski said. "Three Rivers is a dangerous team. They have several guys that could potentially start on our team. They're a hard-nosed group, an experienced group and they've started to play better basketball towards the end of the season.
"I was impressed with that double-digit win over Vicksburg. We're going to have to guard the perimeter and handle their pressure," Kurowski added.
Leading the Wildcats is first year coach Mike Carhart, who has a lot of respect for the Trojans, but believes his team can play with Sturgis.
"Sturgis is one of the best inside teams in the area. You can't guard them with one guy," Carhart said. "We're going to have to make them shoot from outside and have to hope they can't make them tonight, that it's one of their off nights.
"We've really got to take away that inside. We're going to be working to try and front the post and make them work the ball around the perimeter and work against some pressure. We're going to have to get up on the ball and make that entry pass more difficult for them.
"I think this is a very dangerous team (the Wildcats) and we have all the tools to walk out of here district champs."
Sturgis will be led by Chance Stewart and Jalen Cox.
Stewart averaged 18 points per game, while Cox had 13.
Three Rivers leaders are Alex Cottingham and Brady Reeves.
The winner of tonight's game moves on to the Marshall Regional, where they drew the Benton Harbor/Lakeshore winner at 6 p.m., Tuesday night.
