Body Care Tip- If you have eczema, be sure to put some lotion on it EVERY DAY. Otherwise, it can spread a lot faster. Also, don't itch it. That can also make it spread all over. If you have any questions about anything about anything, I'll try and answer it in my next weekly tip!

Body Care Tip - If you have really dry hands, try Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula hand cream. Apply it to dry spots and rub it in. As soon as your skin allows it to soak in, you're hands will immediatly feel softer!
iheartjapanandthereisnothingyoucandoaboutithehe! on 3/13/2010 1:49:20 PM
No problem! If I can, I'll post something tomorrow!
iheartjapanandthereisnothingyoucandoaboutithehe! on 3/12/2010 9:50:38 PM
I was wondering if you'd like me to post a body care tip of the week, just to be a little more active with the club. (I may not be able to every week if I'm gone!)

fashiondancer on 2/22/2010 5:59:30 PM
about the discussion with the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing, I believe the younger u have a boyfriend, the more "inexperienced" u are. u begin to believe that relationships are like ur young relationships and that basically makes ur whole life a total...dump. Plus, if u make wrong choices "adult choices", it could end up ruining ur life, including pregnancy. So... I believe dating young is definitely NOT the way to go, even though peer pressure and media encourages it.

Hey girl! this is the prez of CLUB BOY CRAZY<3 and i was wondering if you wanted to be sister clubs? -Liz, prezzy of CLUB BOY CRAZY<3
CLUB BOY CRAZY<3 on 2/10/2010 6:41:22 PM
For the discussion of the day, I think that people should wait until they're about 15 to start dating. You really can't go anywhere it do anything when you're younger than that, so that makes the whole thing kind of pointless. Also, the younger you start dating, the more likely you are to do some bad things when you're older.
Iheartjapanandthereisnothingyoucandoaboutithehe! on 2/9/2010 12:38:09 PM
For the discussion topic of the day, I think that most of the time younger kids having boyfriends is kind of silly. It depends on the age though. If you are in fourth grade and you date someone that is just kind of lame because do they even actually go on dates? I think its definetly okay to like someone but dating should just be held off until girls and boys are a little older.
volleychick879 on 2/7/2010 8:17:32 PM

Here are the board positions available! 1. Welcoming committee - They greet new members and tell them more about club MOD (2-4 girls, some knowledge of club MOD required, accepting candidates now) 2. Head of Health and Fitness - gives workout ideas and advice (1 head, 1 assistant, not accepting candidates past feb 20th!!) 3. Waiting List - Some board members are not at all dedicated or quit, will be replaced by someone on the waiting list, it is recommended since then you are more likely to get a board position although you don't generally have a choice about what board position that is. (Any number of girls) 4. Head of Makeup We will start accepting candidates for this position on February 24th Currently, we have no girls on the waiting list, so if you ask to be on it, a board position is pretty much guaranteed in the next 2-3 days.

We talk sometimes, but not outside of school. I want to talk to him more (he is in a few of my classes, and we sit by each other, or at least in talking distance) I have his cell phone number and he has mine, but I don't want to make it seem like I'm talking to him out of the blue, and I don't want it to be an awkward convo. Do you have any flirting tips or what to say in a text? (I want him to know I like him back, but get to know him a little more before I do) I hope this isn't too confusing!!!

The steel exterior protects a wooden box that once held sticks of dynamite. Local history has become hazy, but it is definitely a part of the lore surrounding explosives that were once used by farmers to clear new ground filled with stumps or blasting needed by construction crews building roads throughout Polk and surrounding area.
Family members recall how Morgan Hardware once had a dynamite magazine on the property of Blair Farm, which was located near what is now the Little League Field. The land was, at that time, not within the city limits. However, the reserves were stored here.
These sticks, kept in a wooden box, were about 10 inches long and one inch thick. A delivery truck brought this needed merchandise from Atlanta.
The building housing the dynamite had walls about 2 feet apart with a buffer of earth between. The door could only be opened by a lever-type tool that fit in the lock.
The dynamite box, once kept in the warehouse at Morgan Hardware, had to meet specifications from local and state entities.
Most of the explosives were sold to area mining companies. In the era between 1902-1910, this was big business in the Polk County area.
Local history reveals that the dynamite was loaded on a truck and transported to Cartersville. From there, the merchandise was transferred to a flat car and delivered by rail to the mine.
Scott Kinney said his family believes the Rockmart Historical Museum is a great way to preserve local history.
"It is our way of giving back to the community," he said. "The dynamite box is part of our family history."
Visitors can see this unique addition to the museum in the building shared with the Polk County Chamber of Commerce, downtown Rockmart.
New hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

Memorial Day weekend accident claims man's life
The Tehama County Sheriff's Office identified the man as Moise Joseph Cortez, Jr., 52.
According to a press release from the California Highway Patrol (CHP), Cortez was traveling eastbound on Highway 36 at approximately 78 miles per hour in his 2004 Chevrolet 2500 pickup.
Cortez entered a left hand curve as a marked CHP vehicle was traveling in the opposite direction. Upon seeing the patrol vehicle, CHP said Cortez swerved to the right across the gravel shoulder and collided with the hillside.
Now out of control, the vehicle traveled back across the roadway and down an embankment where it collided with a tree, overturned and came to rest on its roof.
CHP said due to the extensive damage and the position of the vehicle, Cortez was trapped inside, which prevented him from getting out or emergency medical personnel from assisting him.
Cortez who was wearing his seatbelt, succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

EAST LANSING (AP) — A Michigan State University poll has found an increase in support for gay marriage in Michigan, with 56 percent of adults questioned saying they support the same-sex unions.
Michigan State economics professor Charles Ballard directs the quarterly State of the State Survey, which questions Michiganians about a variety of subjects.
He says the increase in state support for same-sex marriage mirrors trends around the country.
The telephone poll of 1,015 Michigan adults was conducted June 12-Aug. 13, and the results have a margin of sampling error of 3 percentage points up or down.
Opposition to gay marriage stood at 39 percent in this year's poll. Two years ago, 51 percent said they opposed gay marriage, while 48 percent supported it.

Today will be my 8th day in bed in a row. I have a cold.
I hate being sick. I really do. It's about the most boring thing that could possibly happen to a person. I picked up this little cold of mine just over a week ago and I am now sick of television, reading, writing, bed, coughing, blowing my nose, drinking hot-lemon-and-ginger-and-honey-drink-stuff, looking at the photos I took of my holiday when I was healthy, thinking about the photos I still have to pick up from the photo-printing place which I haven't done because I have been in bed, and listening to music.
Do you know what I want to do? I want to go for a run. I haven't been running in nearly a year, unless you count that time I was trying to catch the bus. I haven't wanted to run in nearly a year. Right now though, I want to go running. Right now it's raining so much we had to tarp the bunny hutch. I have never wanted to go running in the rain. You know the other thing I want to do? I want to run to the top of the rather steep hill I live on and look at the view of clouds and rain over the city. It's a spectacular view from up there on a clear day, but on a rainy day, it's just grey and not much else. Right now, it seems like the view of grey-clouds-and-not-much-else would be heavenly.
Eight days in bed means another thing too. It means I won't be getting paid anything on payday. This idea fills me with a sinking feeling of sadness because I won't be adding anything to my savings account (I know it's a lame goal in life, but it makes me feel like working is a way to achieve something). This doesn't mean much really, because I don't live paycheck to paycheck, so technically I have enough money to last me til the end of my life, provided I die by New Year's Eve. It also doesn't mean much, because I've been in bed for eight days, not out spending money for eight days. So the money I had in my account last week is all still there. I still wish I was getting paid on payday though.
I also want to leave the house. I want to leave my room. Do you know how mind-numbing it is to not have a choice in whether you can leave a single room or not? It's plain nasty. Normally I don't choose to leave my room when I'm not working, and I don't have a problem with it then. But when you take away the choice, suddenly the thing you often choose is unappealing and lame. I like my room. I really do. I mean, I wish it was bigger, cleaner, more house-sized and house-shaped, and that it had a garden and a verandah, and more rooms, and a dog, and space for a bunny, but I like my room. It's where I keep my stuff. I don't normally want to leave it, but right now I feel like I could walk out of here and never look back. It's a strange feeling.
Anyhoo, I suppose I'll start writing letters or something so that I have something to do today that requires little energy. Star jumps are apparently out of the question when you're ill. As is skipping, running, walking, doing the washing, making pizza, and being anything but bored.
I hope you are all the spitting image of good health and happiness,
Meggi K.

4dr Cpe Manual Grand Touring
Starting at $11,750 | Starting at 18 MPG City - 24 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
A carry-over from 2006, the RX8 is a four-door four-passenger sports car that features rear-hinged back doors for easy access to the rear seats. The RX8 is offered in three trim levels - the Sport, the Touring and the GT, with all models featuring a 1.3-liter rotary engine that produces 232 horsepower linked to a six-speed manual transmission.
Most sports car's back seats are suitable for children or storage and not much else. Mazda's 2007 RX-8 breaks the sports car mold by offering real back seat capacity for two adults. Access to the rear seats is made easy by 'free style' rear opening doors. Engine performance is brought by a naturally-aspirated 1.3L rotary engine making 232 horsepower at 8500 rpm (212 horsepower at 7500 rpm with the automatic transmission) and 159 lb-ft of torque at 5500 rpm. More impressive is the nimble and direct handling, due in part to its perfect 50/50 front/rear weight balance. Pricing begins at $26,435 for the Sport model (manual or auto), $29,535 for the manual Touring model or $30,335 for the Touring model with automatic transmission. Pricing for the Grand Touring model starts at $31,070 for the manual and $31,770 for the automatic.
Changes are minor for the Mazda RX-8's fifth year of production; most notable is a six-disc in-dash CD changer that is now standard on the Touring and Grand Touring trim levels. The 'Shinka' special edition trim level has been discontinued for 2007.
Mazda's RX-8 stands proudly as the only production automobile with a rotary engine. The RX-8's 'RENESIS' rotary engine has fewer moving parts than a conventional engine and with no reciprocating parts can spin effortlessly to 9000 rpm (with manual transmission). The RX-8 is rear wheel drive and can be had with either a six-speed short-throw manual transmission or a six-speed automatic that can be operated manually via steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.

I originally made a instructables about my beetle robot version 1.
It is now time to show you a new version of this wonderful robot. This new version is much easier to build and fool proof!
The beetle robot (Beetle bot), is a very simple and efficient robot that use no electronics component to avoid obstacle in his path. It use two SPDT switch to avoid obstacles by reversing the opposite motor to pivote and free himself. There is no silicon chip, that is, no integrated circuit, no transistor, no resistor, capacitor, etc.
This mean very cheap to build!
The major modification is the cross antenna. When you have cross antenna, obstacles like a chair leg won't be any danger to the robot. The robot will be able to avoid it. On the original design, the antennas where in a V shape and the chair leg would go right in the middle of the V and the robot would had a hard time to get free.
By having the cross antenna, it also help with the assembly of the robot. The switch are closer together which help in the soldering of the wires.
Here is a little resume turn into a video. Check it out!
This article was created because I got contacted by a Make editor. I then took pictures and redid the beetle for an article that I wrote in the MAKE magazine Volume 12.
After a few month I saw this: Top articles in MAKE 1 - 12.
It turns out, that my article was one of the most read of there digital magazine!
Here is the digital version of my article.
I took 134 pictures, that is 235Mb of files! I had a really hard time to choose the perfect pictures to make this instructable!
In 2010 I made a internship at www.solarbotics.com and made this solderless kit
Look at blue and the green beetle bot in the pictures! They look awesome!
The only thing you need is a screwdriver that we give in the kit!
Thank you!
Jerome Demers
Step 1: The BeetleBot v2 ( Revisited ) - The component list
Items for the robot:
2 x 1,5V motors
2 x SPDT ( single pole double throw ) switches with a metal lever
2 x AA or AAA battery
2 x Terminal connector ( see picture )
1 x AA or AAA battery holder
1 x Plastic or wooden pearl ( Spherical bead )
1 x 1 inch x 3 inch piece of metal or aluminum
1 x Toggle switch for the on/off switchs
Paper clips big and small
2 feets of wires around 22/24 Gauge size
Heat shrink that will fit over the motor shaft and some that will fit over the terminal connector
Electric tape and masking tape
Items for the body shell :
Round plastic lid to make the shell of the robot
Some spray can paint, the colour you want.
Clear varnish
Autobody filler putty or epoxy glue
2 x Small magnets to attach shell to body.
You need some 1,5Volts motor, not 3V or no event 12V!!
Each motors are powered by a single AA battery. You will drain your battery if you use a bigger motor. You can find them in toys or even at your local dollarrama, in little car, fans, etc! ( beware, they might really suck you battery down )
the recommended tools for this project:
1 x safety glasses!!
1 x soldering iron
1 x glue gun
1 x wire strippers
1 x side cutter
1 x scissors, knife, x-acto, etc
I recommend you to take the time to read this entire instructable before starting. In every page I have added a lot of pictures, so don't forget to look.
1-40 of 577 | Next » |
But actually man, I have nice wheels which fit in my motor shafts perfectly. What if I glued motors PARALLEL to ground facing away from each other & perpendicular to battery holder? I will add two wheels stuck on two ends of a small rod (axle) on other end so motor duo will perfectly work like a front engine & rear loading will be wiped. In my image below, you will find a parallel view as you have shown in step 7.
Thanks & Regards,
P.S. Lines in black is your original design. Lines in green are my modification.
Waiting for your response eagerly.
Yes you can make the antenna and the metal part in one piece.
You simply need to find a way to attach a big long lever (antenna) to the switch.
That's it.
Thanks a lot tomorrow is science fair.....i would have loved to have got a few answers to my question but its OK
Harsha aka Legend121
P.S- i live in india
i live in india

1st Question How do we fit in a mic in it to record sound
2nd Question Do we require a glue gun??
3rd Question The covers how do we get them??

People across the Granite State woke up to bitter cold weather Wednesday morning.
Forecasters said the next few days are expected to be the coldest in nearly two years. By midday, temperatures lingered in the single digits across most of the state, while northern areas stayed below zero degrees.
Wind chills made it feel below zero degrees in Manchester while students waited for the bus or made the walk to school.
"I've been doing it since eighth grade, so I kind of know the deal," said Memorial High School student Chris LaSalle. "Just walk to school. Get it over with."
Eighth-grader Jacob Morin said he was thankful he didn't have to walk.
"I'm thinking I'm grateful," he said. "Grateful that my mom is driving us."
Everyone seemed to be dressed in layers, but sometimes even that didn't help.
"No matter what you put on, it's not enough," said crossing guard Richard Hebert. "It's real cold today."
Inside the Red Barn Diner, patrons said they have different strategies for dealing with the weather.

The Juilliard School. It's a name synonymous with musical success. Listen to Jennifer Gersten play the violin and it's easy to understand why she attends that school's elite program for high school students. She's learning to play some of the most complicated classical music ever written.
"I'm definitely very interested in Romanticism and especially Neoromanticism. I like Prokofiev and just completed work on the Tchaikovsky violin concerto and I'm doing some Prokofiev sonatas right now, so that's good," says Jennifer.
Jennifer's days are spent at Townsend Harris High School where she distinguished herself the day she stepped on campus as a freshman. She's an "A" student but also a national award winner in research competitions. But her teachers say it's her writing that sets her apart.
"Her abilities to write surpass most well-educated adults," says English teacher Rafal Olechowsky. "She's able to encompass very difficult topics in a very lucid and very concise way."
"The use of the vocabulary, the syntax -- it reads like poetry," says social science research teacher Franco Scardino. "So even an analysis section of a research project reads poetically, like you want to read it, and that's not an easy thing to do."
As editor of her school's literary magazine, Jennifer uses that writing talent in a creative way as well.
While some things come easily to Jennifer, running and track did not. But she's worked hard to get better every year and now she's the captain of the team.
"It's definitely been harder than I expected, much harder, but I think that's why I'm so insistent on doing it," says Jennifer.
"A lot of kids, when they have that kind of challenge, stop because that's the hard thing. She persevered and pushed," says track coach Tim Connor.
With all of her accomplishments it surprises no one at Townsend Harris that Jennifer's been accepted to Columbia, Princeton, Yale and Juilliard.
"I have no idea what I'd like to pursue in the future, but I think the idea of discovery is very enticing to me," says Jennifer.
So, for excelling in sports, school and music, Jennifer Gersten is the latest Health Plus Amerigroup/NY1 Scholar Athlete of the Week.
The NY1 Scholar Athlete program celebrates student athletes who successfully combine academics with athletics, and also find time for community service. The program, operated in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education, is open to any senior attending a New York City public high school.
Each week of the school year, a selected student is profiled on NY1 and receives a $2,000 scholarship to the school they choose to attend in the fall.
To apply, download and print out the official Scholar Athlete application, then mail it to the address on the form.

PITTSBURG -- The shooting that killed a 16-year-old boy Monday took place hours after a physical confrontation between the boy and his suspected assailant, giving the suspect time to retrieve a gun and return to shoot the boy and another teen, police said Wednesday.
Police would not say Wednesday what the sparked the scuffle between victim Steven Rosalez, 16, and the man accused of killing him, Julius Robert Short Jr., 23. The two knew each other from around the neighborhood where they both lived, said Pittsburg police Lt. Ron Raman.
Rosalez, who was shot in the back, died of his injuries at a hospital. The second boy, also 16, was treated for his injuries at a hospital and is expected to recover.
Neither the victims nor the subject lived at the home on the 100 block of West 8th Street where the shooting took place, though they all frequented the area, Raman said. The shooting happened outside the home about 7:45 p.m., police said. Officials wouldn't disclose the exact time of the argument.
Short has prior misdemeanor convictions for illegal gun possession and battery and a 2009 felony conviction for assault with a deadly weapon, according to Contra Costa County Superior Court records.
Detectives are still investigating the case and hope to present their findings to the district attorney's office soon, Raman said. Short is being held on $1.5 million bail on suspicion of murder at County Jail in Martinez.
Rosalez had previously

Back-rower Croft returns after recovery from a neck injury suffered last season and joins fit-again Steve Mafi and Thomas Waldrom in the Tigers back-row for the opening 2012/13 Aviva Premiership fixture of the New Year at Sixways.
Rob Hawkins is joined by Logovi'i Mulipola and Italian Martin Castrogiovanni in the front-row.
Mathew Tait returns at full-back, and there are starting places for Scott Hamilton, Matt Smith and Dan Bowden in the backline, with Toby Flood and Ben Youngs at half-back for the domestic clash.
Warriors expect their biggest crowd of the season so far for the fixture as they defend an unbeaten home record stretching back to September.
Meanwhile, wing Josh Drauniniu makes his first league start since November for the Warriors.
Head coach Richard Hill makes a total of six changes to the XV from the side that lost to Sale as Warriors look to start 2013 with a crucial victory and maintain the club's strong home form.
Scrum-half Jonny Arr will partner Andy Goode at half-back, with former England international Paul Hodgson ruled out of the game with a jaw injury.
Centre Jon Clarke is also named in the back division with Josh Matavesi among the replacements.
Three changes in the pack see a return for hooker Aleki Lutui while Sam Betty plays in the back-row alongside Matt Kvesic and Semisi Taulava. Ex-Ireland ace Neil Best is named on the bench and could make his 50th appearance for Warriors if he features.
Lock Dean Schofield will join James Percival, who retains the captaincy, in the second-row. Fit-again prop Matt Mullan is recalled to the bench alongside scrum half Ollie Frost.
Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill said: "They are a tough team to beat and they have proved that with the amount of losing bonus points they have picked up this year.
"They beat Saracens at home so they must be doing something right. They have definitely improved and have a strong squad.
"Sixways is a small ground but it usually packed to the rafters when we go there and that creates a cracking atmosphere. We have always prided ourselves on not getting distracted by the festivities.
"We set ourselves a target over the Christmas period and, if we can win at Worcester, we will have got 13 points over three games, which we will be satisfied with."
Worcester: 15 Chris Pennell, 14 Josh Drauniniu, 13 Alex Grove, 12 Jon Clarke, 11 David Lemi, 10 Andy Goode, 9 Jonny Arr, 8 Semisi Taulava, 7 Matt Kvesic, 6 Sam Betty, 5 Dean Schofield, 4 James Percival (c), 3 Euan Murray, 2 Aleki Lutui, 1 Ceri Jones.

Legislature poised to elect new guard chief
MONTPELIER — The Vermont Legislature is getting ready to elect the next chief of the state's National Guard.
The secret-ballot election is set for Thursday.
There are three candidates to succeed Maj. Gen. Thomas Drew, who became interim adjutant general last summer after his predecessor Maj. Gen. Michael Dubie left Vermont to take a position as deputy commander of the United States Northern Command, the organization that oversees the defense of North America.
Air Guard Brig. Gen. Steven Cray, of Essex Junction, Col. Darryl Ducharme and retired Col. Michael J. Bullock of Hinesburg are all running for the position.
Drew chose not to seek re-election.MORE IN This Just InVermont State Police say a Massachusetts man has died in an all-terrain vehicle crash in the town...

2011 Edublogs Award Nominations
It's nomination time for the annual Edublog Awards! There are so many wonderful education blogs I follow, that it was really tough to narrow some of the categories down to just one name. In several categories, I would have liked to acknowledge more than one blog or blogger. I am blessed to have found wonderful online communities that promote sharing ideas and fellowship with other early childhood bloggers around the world. Thank you to all who share in the early childhood blogging community--because of you I am more reflective and continually inspired!
Words (or mere nominations) cannot express my gratitude for all that these bloggers share. My nominations for 2011 are:
Best Individual Blog and Best Individual Tweeter: Deborah Stewart at Teach Preschool. I could nominate Deborah for almost every category in these awards. Her sharing and support to everyone in the online preschool community is, in a word, phenomenal!
Best Group Blog: Irresistible Ideas For Play Based Learning. Sherry and Donna over at Irresistible Ideas share ideas from play based preschools from all over Australia. Their ideas are always innovative, inviting and irresistible!
Best New Blog: Kreative Resources. Leeanne has only been blogging for a couple of months, but has managed to already share a wealth of information and ideas.
Best Ed Tech/ Resource Sharing Blog: Teaching Heart. Teaching Heart shares a variety of ideas and lovely printables for games, activities and teacher resources.
Most Influential Blog Post: Brick by Brick: Teachers and Kids at the Art Table. Scott has an amazing way of reminding me to slow down, listen and learn from my kids. This post in particular, is one of several he has written that prompted me to be a more reflective practitioner.
Best Teacher Blog: PreKinders. PreKinders shares ideas, printables and games. Definitely one of my "go to sites" when I need ideas for a particular theme or unit of study.
Best Free Webtool: The SEEDS Network Idea Search. The SEEDS Network has a wonderful search tool that helps you find ideas. Ideas and activities are presented in a printable format that also denotes the age ranges, supply list and activity description.
Lifetime Achievement: Vanessa Levin of PreK Pages. Without a doubt. Long before I was a blogger (or ever dreamed I'd be one), I was a surfer. I surfed the web for ideas to implement in my teaching. PreK Pages was one of my "go to" sites for all things preschool. Back in my "surfing" days, I would have never thought I'd have the opportunity to "meet" such an esteemed colleague, but through the online preschool community, I've found Vanessa to be even more of a resource that I could have ever imagined. Vanessa shares in various online communities and is supportive of other bloggers and educators. She is tirelessly and enthusiastically presents Best Practices to the preschool community.
I'd like to personally thank the bloggers listed above for his or her contribution to the online preschool community. Each of these bloggers are fabulous and I encourage to to vote for them when the nominations are tallied and the voting begins.
I'd also like to thank all the wonderful bloggers who are not listed. I just couldn't list you all. Whether you realize it or not, I value your input and expertise. I feel I'm a far better teacher having met and shared with you all.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Avoid Trading on Headlines Next Week (Final)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- With a tidal wave of earnings coming next week, Jim Cramer reminded viewers on his "Mad Money" TV show Friday to keep their fingers off the trigger and avoid trading on the headlines. He said confusion reigns supreme during this most difficult of earnings weeks and mistakes can damage a portfolio in an instant.
Cramer's game plan for next week's trading included Conoco-Phillips (COP) , Netflix (NFLX) and Texas Instruments (TXN) on Monday. Cramer was torn on Conoco, as the company is splitting itself up to bring out value, but is still levered to the ailing natural gas. He was bearish on Netflix, a company that is too expensive, and took a wait-and-see attitude for Texas Instruments.
Tuesday brings ARM Holdings (ARM) , 3M (MMM) , AT&T (T) , Panera Bread (PNRA) and Apple (AAPL) , a stock Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS.
Cramer said Apple must beat $11.80 a share in earnings and revenue of $41 billion to impress Wall Street. He was bullish on AT&T, saying the downside was minimal, and was comfortable with both Panera and 3M.
For Wednesday, Boeing (BA) , Caterpillar (CAT) , Wyndham Worldwide (WYN) and Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) will take the stage. Cramer was bullish on Boeing, Caterpillar and Wyndham, but wanted just to listen to Cliffs Natural.
Still more stocks on Thursday included Celgene (CELG) , a stock Cramer said to buy on weakness, along with Exxon-Mobil (XOM) , a big but not great oil company; Amazon.com (AMZN) , a company that will be hard-pressed to make its numbers; Deckers Outdoor (DECK) , a stock that Cramer said may have peaked; and Zynga (ZNGA) , a company with no real earnings.

Local actor even dumps dairy for 'Book of Mormon' role
Syesha Mercado (front) and James Vincent Meredith of Oak Park in "The Book of Mormon" at Bank of America Theatre. | Photo by Joan Marcus
through June 2
Bank of America Theatre, 18 W. Monroe, Chicago
(800) 775-2000; www.BroadwayInChicago.com
Updated: January 24, 2013 1:30PM
James Vincent Meredith is best known for his dramatic roles at Steppenwolf Theatre, where he is an ensemble member, and at other acclaimed Chicago theaters.
And his television credits include playing the tough, determined Alderman Ross on the TV series "Boss." So what is the Evanston native — he graduated from Evanston Township High School in 1989 — and current Oak Park resident doing singing and dancing as tribal leader Mafala Hatimbi in the hilarious musical parody, "The Book of Mormon"? We thought we'd ask.
Question: This is such a different role for you. Why did you audition for "The Book of Mormon" [about two young Mormon missionaries sent to Uganda]?
James Vincent Meredith: It's something that I normally would not have thought twice about even approaching because I've never really fancied myself a singer beyond the karaoke bar circuit. But my agent put it on the table and said, "This is something that I think you should really have fun with it. They're not looking for a typical Broadway-style singer. They're looking for a strong actor who can kind of carry a tune and help tell the story." If you told me a year ago that I'd be doing this, I would have laughed at you.
Q: Is being in this show the most exercise you've gotten onstage?
JVM: It's a real challenge. I've done other work onstage that is much heavier line-wise and role-wise but I'm using different muscles, literally and figuratively, as far as the dancing is concerned, as far as the singing is concerned, as far as doing them simultaneously. I'm in awe of Nic Rouleau and Ben Platt, [who play the missionaries], because they have a lot of movement and a lot of singing and they're both extraordinary — as well as our ensemble. Ensembles in musicals do a lot of the heavy lifting and these guys are the best of the best.
Q: The last time we talked, your main form of exercise was that you and your wife would ride your bikes to an ice cream parlor.
JVM: I know [laughing]. I have to do a little bit more than that now. And I miss the ice cream. I have to cut out dairy because that isn't so great for the voice. I've had to make several lifestyle changes. Apparently this show is good for my health because I've lost a few pounds.
Q: There are such silly things going on around you during the show. How hard is it to keep from laughing?
JVM: Very, very hard. It's a battle that I tend to lose on occasion. I wouldn't be surprised if people come back repeatedly because there are so many things that are going on at the same time onstage. You're not going to see it all the first time through. Nic Rouleau and Ben Platt are bringing amazing stuff to the table every show. They both seem to have a bottomless well of new ideas that they're bringing out with each performance that keeps us laughing.
Q: Have your parents seen the show?
JVM: They have not seen it yet. It is on their radar but I understand they are a bit reticent given the risqué lyrics.
Q: What was your wife's reaction to the show?
JVM: She loves it. We're both fans of "South Park" and we were rolling on the floor when we watched "Team America: World Police" [hit animated TV series and movie also written by "The Book of Mormon's" Trey Parker and Matt Stone].
Q: Do you think being in the show is going to alter the way you feel about people who come to your door with religious pamphlets?
