The Bluth family is back and as dysfunctional as ever!

Finally a trailer has been released for season four of “Arrested Development”.

In the new trailer everyone looks a little bit older, as you’d expect. (But we doubt they’re any wiser.)

15 new episodes of “Arrested Development” arrive simultaneously on May 26th. To get around the limited availability of the cast, each episode will focus on a single character.

The sitcom will go live in all territories where Netflix is available.

New pictures taken from the set of “Anchorman: The Legend Continues” have just emerged showing a huge music star filming a cameo appearance.

In the pictures you can see rapper Kanye West taking part in a hockey brawl scene along with Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and Jim Carrey.

Harrison Ford and Kristen Wiig have confirmed roles in the the movie, as well as Tina Fey and Amy Pohler.

“Anchorman 2″ is slated for a December 20th release.

Fresh Air Photos air each morning at 7:10 on BT.    Usually when you check in here - you are able to get fun facts about the photo, photograper and location.    But because I tripped, fell and damaged my right knee – I am out of commission for a few weeks.    They tell me it is a torn meniscus, and that a simple surgery will have me back up and running faster than I can ask:  ‘how will you repair my torn meniscus?’

MENISCUS 101:  Meet your menuscus!    Most people (laymen’s terms) call the menisci knee ‘cartilages’.    We have 2 of them – the lateral and medial menisci, and both are quite useful!    They disperse the weight of our body and reduce friction during movement.    My tear is “medial”.    Medial refers to the portion of the knee toward the midline of the body-the inside portion of the knee between the legs.    “Lateral” refers to the outside portion of the knee, away from the midline of the body.    Since it plays such an important role in the knee, it is best to save as much of the meniscus as possible.   A partial meniscectomy involves removing only the torn piece of the meniscus – the undamaged portion of the meniscus remains in place.    This procedure is typically performed arthroscopically.    A small shaver is used to remove the torn part of the meniscus.

You mean I 'still' have to do the dishes?

I am bound and determined to strengthen and stretch my way back to health as soon as possible.    That means I’ll re-join my BT buddies:  Bridget, Ryan, Carla, Courtney, Tanara, and Sunny on Tuesday, May 21st!    See you then.

Nice fur coat - is it new?

Ramya was as delighted as she was nervous-being up close and personal with this Black Bear.    Keep reading to find out why she thought she might also see Goldilocks!    “I live and work in Edmonton, but a group of us were on our way to Olympic Park at Whistler for a team-building exercise.   I was completely surprised because that was the first time in my life I had ever seen a bear!   During the entire day we saw not one, not two, but THREE bears (how poetic).   It was very cool – but I had an irrational desire to pet it (is that weird?).   It was near 7 degrees and as you can see, there were leaves on the trees which was disconcerting yet awesome!   I’d forgotten what green looked like!”

DID YOU KNOW?    As humans, we are building and living closer than ever to areas that were once home to wildlife – including bears.    The Get Bear Smart Society was created to encourge people to respect bears and their habitats to prevent needless conflict and death.    The society has a great website with features on how to understand bear communication, where the best spots are for spotting them, and what you should do if you happen to cross paths with a bear:  http://www.bearsmart.com/

Whistler is open to the public year round but Whistler Olympic Park doesn’t re-open until May 24th.   It was the site of the cross-country, biathlon, Nordic combined, and ski jumping events for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

WE CAN’T BEAR TO WAIT ANY LONGER.    IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO COME OUT OF HIBERNATION AND GET OUTDOORS.    ONCE YOU HAVE CAMERA-CAPTURED MOTHER NATURE OR HER CREATURES, SEND YOUR PHOTO TO US AND WATCH FOR IT ON BT AND THIS VERY BLOG!   

Hey Moose (es) - where's squirrel?

I am pleased and proud to show off and brag that this photo was sent in by someone I know!    My sister Janet decided to become a Fresh Air Photographer!    (See Janet, my other sisters, brothers, and my mom – below).    She and her husband John illustrate the benefits of living the ‘rural life’–seeing the wildlife.    “Hello from Saskatchewan!    My husband John & I live on a farm just north of Moosomin.   According to the calendar it is Spring, but according to Mother Moose and her baby, it is tough going.   It’s not that unusual to see Moose in the country and wandering down our lane.   We have noticed an increase in the number of moose on the loose on highways, so we like it when we see their families staying off the roads!!!”

DID YOU KNOW?    The Saskatchewan government is addressing the issue of the moose boost.    They are normally forest-dwellers, but in the last 10 years have adapted to farm life – almost too well.    They are now eating peas, alfalfa and canola on a regular basis with acres and acres at their disposal.    Not only that, but there has been an increase in highway crashes – killing people ‘and’ moose.    So, the Saskatchewan Farmland Moose Project was launched.    50 moose will be collared and studied for 2 years.    In the meantime, hunting quotas have been adjusted to help stabilize the population.

Oscar-winning director Ron Howard’s next movie is a true story set in the fast-paced world of Formula One racing.

Chris Hemsworth and Olivia Wilde star.

It takes us back to the 1976 Formula One season and the rivalry between drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda.

Check out the new trailer here.

Think of them as a modern day Thelma and Louise. “Violet and Daisy” stars Alexis Bledel and Saoirse Ronan as teenage assassins who get caught up with their latest target played by James Gandolfini.

It hits theatres in June, but you can check out the new trailer here.

Beautiful blue Bow

Murray, with grandchildren in tow – takes us to the Bow.  “Feeling the spray of the Bow River in Banff – beautiful , wet and ccccoolldd!   It was definitely zip-up time standing beside that cold glacier flow.   My youngest grandson toyed with the idea of a wade – something his older brother insisted was ‘not’ a good idea.   All it took was a hand in the frigid water to convince him to stay on dry land.”    Wise!    Find out why the turquiose colour of the Bow – below.

I'll only go in "this far" Grandpa!

DID YOU KNOW?    The name “Bow” was given to the river by our First Nations people.    They used the reeds that grew along the banks to make bows.    The Peigan name for the river is “Makhabn”, that means:  ”river where bow reeds grow”.

And that river IS cold!    No wonder, it comes from the Bow Glacier, which is part of the Wapta Icefield.   ((The Wapta Icefields spread for many miles from Lake Louise to BC)).    From the glacier, the Bow River flows south to the village of Lake Louise, turns east and flows through the towns of Banff, Canmore and then the city of Calgary.    The water continues to travel south and forms the South Saskatchewan River when it joins the Oldman River near Grassy Lake & Medicine Hat.    Still moving, the river continues east – eventually spilling into the Hudson Bay through the Saskatchewan River, Lake Winnipeg, and Nelson River.

The incredibly beautiful turquoise colour is caused by glacial silt.    Underneath the glacier, rocks are grinding together, and that creates “rock flour”.    This “rock flour” is carried to the water and is suspended (because it is so fine) – It refracts sunlight and is seen as brilliant turquoise.
