Matt, Joce and their photogenic bowling pin, Toby The Pin, are getting a team together, looking at lots and hoping Oprah will pay for everything.

Catskill Animal Sanctuary Director and Huffington Post Blogger Kathy Stevens shares a few practical tips about veganism with Oprah viewers taking the vegan challenge.
Originally posted at: http://casanctuary.org/2011/02/6-things-oprah-viewers-should-know-about-veganism/
Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m excited about the attention that Oprah’s Tuesday show is bringing to veganism, a lifestyle to which I’m passionately committed. And I’m equally excited to do my part to support anyone eager to consider making this life-affirming, health-affirming, planet-saving change! So here, in no particular order, are six things you need to know about veganism.
1. Help is everywhere you turn! There’s a whole web-based world eager to THANK YOU and to hold your hand on this exciting journey! If you’re inclined to begin at the beginning and learn what we’re doing to the animals, I heartily recommend these books: Eating Animals, Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking the Way We Treat Animals, Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy, and The Food Revolution. There are countless others. Do your own google search. Rather watch a film? Try: Death on a Factory Farm, Glass Walls, or Earthlings. Want to bypass the suffering and instead see cows, pigs, and chickens (and a host of other critters) for who they truly are? Check out my books: Where the Blind Horse Sings and the newly-released Animal Camp: Lessons in Love and Hope From Rescued Farm Animals. Don’t think it’s possible to love a pig? You’ve got some surprises coming!
2. You CAN treat your tastebuds! At least once a month for the last dozen years, my dad calls and asks, “Whatcha havin’ for dinner tonight? Sticks and leaves?” Folks: let’s dispel the myth that veggie cuisine is bland!! For general info and advice about nutrition, try the Vegetarian Resource Group, Savvy Vegetarian, VegSource, or The North American Vegetarian Society. To bypass the BS and get right down to cookin’, try these recipe databases: VegWeb, International Vegetarian Union, and VegFamily. Finally, check the Catskill Animal Sanctuary website, for regular updates from Chef Kevin Archer, director of Compassionate Cuisine. Far as we know, Catskill Animal Sanctuary is the only sanctuary in the world to offer a vegan cooking program. Join us, either onsite or via podcast, coming in February!
3. You can date without committing! Not sure you’re ready to strip the fridge bare? There’s nothing wrong with dating before you commit. Try choosing vegetarian restaurants to discover how varied and delicious veggie diets can be! Happy Cow is a database of vegan, vegetarian, and veg-friendly restaurants around the world. Just plug in your city or zip code and the distance radius you wish to search. If you’re a New Yorker, you’ll love SuperVegan’s “The Amazing Instant New York City Vegan Restaurant Finder“.
My advice? Choose the vegetarian and vegan restaurants rather those that have “vegan options.” You’ll find that restaurants truly committed to the lifestyle offer far more inventive, satisfying meals. Go ahead: tantalize your tastebuds!! Check out the menus from my favorite local restaurants: Garden Café in Woodstock, Luna 61 in Tivoli, and Karma Road in New Paltz.
4. A word of caution: Vegan does not equal healthy. There’s a lot of processed vegan CRAP out there filled with ingredients I can’t pronounce (and I ain’t stupid!). If you want to use this opportunity to take charge of your health, focus on simple, whole foods. Want some great advice? Grab a copy of my pal Kris Carr‘s just-released, New York Times-bestselling Crazy Sexy Diet: Eat Your Veggies, Ignite Your Spark, and Live Like You Mean It!
5. A new, better you awaits! I may not know you, but I know this about you: you’re a good person who values kindness, and who likely works hard to ensure that your actions embody this highly-cherished value. Just for a moment, let in the uncomfortable notion that every time you eat an animal, you’re subjecting an innocent sentient being–an animal who, when you get right down to it, is very much like us in ways that count–to a level of suffering you wouldn’t wish upon a child molester or rapist. Acknowledge your role in the suffering, and when you choose to go vegan, celebrate your choice to honor not only the animals, but also, and most importantly, yourself, for in embracing veganism, you’ll be aligning your lifestyle with the values you prize most deeply. And that feels good.
6. It’s okay to stumble. Let’s face it: change is challenging! Even vegan poster girl Alicia Silverstone has stumbled a few times – and that ‘s OK!! As someone who took several years to go vegan, I know what the resistance is about: habit, convenience, concern about family members’ reactions, lack of knowledge about what else to cook. If you decide to take the plunge, or even just to dip your toe in the water, be prepared to encounter resistance, even if it’s just from, well, your own noggin. Be kind to yourself in your heroic effort to be kind to all beings and to the fragile planet we inhabit..
The vegan train’s pullin’ out of the station people! Grab a seat for the ride of your life, and be sure to tell us about your journey.Catskill Animal Sanctuary Director and Huffington Post Blogger Kathy Stevens shares a... more

New host Brett Erlich takes the remodeled infoMania out for a spin for the very first time, so please keep your hands and feet inside the virtual vehicle until the comedy has come to a complete stop. He starts with what we humbly call "The Week in Everything." And that's just what it is, from J-Lo and Steven Tyler (S-Ty?) sliding into the judges' chairs on "American Idol," to Kelly Ripa's creepily suggestive offer to keep Regis Philbin from retiring, to Piers Morgan "grilling" Oprah on the premiere of his new CNN talk show.
infoMania is a half-hour comedy show that airs weekly on Current TV. Picture the ultimate office water-cooler, only with funnier co-workers who willingly stay up late imbibing all forms of media so you don't have to. Caveat: Bring your own water. Hosted by Brett Erlich and co-starring Sergio Cilli, Erin Gibson, Ben Hoffman and Bryan Safi, infoMania airs on Thursdays at 11/10c on Current TV.

Oprah is about to become more influential than anyone else on Earth...or not.
Though Oprah has never been married to Stedman Grant, they did just birth a baby. A baby network that is. Our reigning queen of television has just popped out The Oprah Winfrey Network, OWN, which sums up the whole deal. According to Oprah, Stedman named the new tyke. Considered by many as our Princess Di, Oprah, not content with that title alone, along with cornering every other form of media, wanted to do pull a Ted Turner by starting her own network. A network true to her belief system. For Ted, it was wanting to deliver world news all day, all night. We see how that never came to fruition. For Oprah, the goal is to deliver touchy-feely hooey, 24-hours a day. Can you imagine how many reruns of Dr. Phil we are all about to be accosted with? I can’t listen to his blather on regular network television, let alone on a loop somewhere on Channel 593.
A signature network means lots of time to fill kiddies. The Oxygen Network, Oprah’s first outing, which they called Oh! (to subtly promote Oprah’s involvement) was a bit of a debacle, if you consider at how many times they rerun Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, Janice Dickinson’s Modeling Agency and other nonsensical programming. It’s a simple equation, there are 168 hours in a week. That’s a lot of airtime to fill, especially if it is all about feeling good and happy thoughts. We will soon feel like that character in A Clockwork Orange, being forced to watch the horrors of non-stop self-improvement hullabaloo and wanting to die from the torture.
Get ready reality show lovers, you are about to get endless hours of new shows featuring the likes of Tatum and Ryan O’Neal, as they rekindle their strained relationship in the hopes that regular folks can learn from their absolutely retarded mistakes and have an AHA! moment of their own. No doubt that series will be sponsored by AT&T, so when you want to call your long, lost daddy, there will be a special Android with your childhood phone numbers programmed in just for you.
Imagine the brainstorming sessions in the OWN reality show division:
Gail King to host BFF: Bringing best friends together onto a her talk format to discuss being accused of lesbianism. Special guest for season opener will be Suzie Orman to share when she finally decided to come out. Cooking segments included.
Nate Berkus to host Snap: A How-To show for decorating cookie cutter rooms with cookie cutter decorating ideas from his cookie cutter design books. Cooking segments included.
Bob Greene to host Crack The Whip: Oprah’s well-documented fitness trainer to host a fitness show featuring Bob as dominatrix with a whip as he beats and terrorizes fatsos on a treadmill, lower body work and abdominal floor work. The goal is for his guests to not look like Oprah after the 8 Week sessions. Cooking segments included.
Art Smith & Tal Ronen Battle of the Chefs: These two well-known chefs have been in the good graces of Oprah and this is the show that secures one of them in the top spot once and for all. It is a cook-off to their deaths to heighten viewership. Cooking segments galore included.
