Ardmore Middle School Advancement Via Individual Determination students had a special opportunity Wednesday to ask questions of Rep. Tom Cole.
"It's inspiring to have kids asking questions at that level," Cole said.
Despite being too young to vote, the students appreciated Cole's work in representing Oklahoma.
"I'm glad he's the representative of Oklahoma because some people aren't that good at the job, but he gave a really good speech," said sixth-grader Charlie Jones.
"I think Mr. Cole seemed really educated about the government and a really good representative for Oklahoma," said sixth-grader Riley Keeton.
The event got the students thinking about their opinions on political issues.
"I agreed with most of what he was saying, like the budget and the president," said sixth-grader Sakeithia Anderson.
They asked about a variety of issues including the economy, national budget and health care.
"I liked everything he said. I thought he was really smart. He spoke his mind and didn't just tell what everyone else says," said sixth-grader Kadi Johnson.
Sixth-grader J'Licia Smith asked whether the congressman supports abortion laws.
"He told me he was against it and he is working to stop it," she said.
Many students were also interested in Cole's opinion of President Barack Obama.
"I liked how he shared his opinion about the president, like how he didn't approve of him but worked with him anyway," said sixth-grader Brooklyn Anoatubby.

Feature Friday - Biscuit Waffles
24 comments:
We don't have a waffle maker, boo. But have you ever made donuts with canned biscuits? We call them ghetto donuts, so classy. I serve them hot (i make a glaze with powdered sugar and milk/water, just quick no measurements) and there is always a line for them around the island. These canned biscuits live a lot of lives.ReplyDelete
This over night french toast recipe is awesome! this blogger has never steered me wrong with a recipe, everything she shares is delicious and i have made dozens of the things she has shared.
we had weird dinners this year too when I was in the first 20 weeks. who knew morning sickness could last so long! i think my saddest dinner i cooked was pierogies and grilled cheese. not a veggie or meat was cooked in the house for over a month. we ordered out a lot. hopefully it passes soon!!
How clever! I haven't seen these on Pinterest....but look so do-able! Gonna try it soon :) Hang in there momma....this too shall pass.ReplyDelete
I tried this too. They were really good the first day but not so good as left-overs. They got incredibly hard and the kids had trouble eating them. Good for a quick breakfast/dinner - just not for making a bunch to have extras on hand.ReplyDelete
Smitten Kitchen is one of my two go-tos for recipes. Great every time. Her baked french toast is on my list of things to make. http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2012/04/cinnamon-toast-french-toast-cookbook-preview/ReplyDelete
I have two baked french toast recipes we love at our house: creme brulee french toast http://becomingbetty.blogspot.com/2011/07/creme-brulee-french-toast.htmlReplyDelete
and pumpkin french toast here
My family has been making chocolate waffles from scratch for years and years, but I saw on pinterest to use cake mix batter to make them. Maybe not as indulgent as the original, but so yummy! If you want to make them from scratch, here's the link to my family recipe: http://artsandcrofts.blogspot.com/2012/08/chocolate-waffles-two-ways.html
Don't you just love pinterest?!
Cinnamon Baked French Toast
Yield: Serves 16
Cook Time: 45-55 minutes
1 loaf French Bread
8 large eggs
2 cups milk (we used skim, but Ree uses whole)
½ cup heavy whipping cream
¾ cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Streusel Topping:
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
Maple syrup-for serving
1. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Tear French bread into chunks, or cut into cubes, and evenly place in the pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Pour evenly over bread. Cover pan with saran wrap and store in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add butter pieces and cut into the dry mixture using a fork or your hands. Combine until the mixture resembles sand with a few pea sized chunks. Cover and store mixture in the refrigerator.
4. When you're ready to bake the French toast, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove casserole from refrigerator and sprinkle crumb mixture over the top. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the French toast is set and golden brown.
5. Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.
Recipe adapted from The Pionner Woman
I love trying out recipes from Pinterest! Here's a good baked french toast:ReplyDelete
We've done it a couple of times & love it!
What a cool idea! I'm going to have to get a waffle maker now. :)ReplyDelete
Gosh I understand the pregnancy and the dieing of meals. My husband had to make dinner often. Now that my 3rd boy is 11 weeks I´m getting better again. If you are craving sweets and wand a healthy chocolate chip cookie try this recipe. I made them today.ReplyDelete
Full of the nutrition your body needs while pregnant like folic acid and omega 3s.Also full of fiber if you are having stomach issues. I often double the peanut butter and the flax seeds and wheat germ for an extra healthy cookie.

So sorry you have morning sickness! I just went through a horrid 4 month spell of that myself and am glad it finally passed! When I was sick I think the only thing I cooked once or twice was this recipe for german pancakes http://lightlycrunchy.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/german-pancake/. My husband cooked the rest of the time while I fled to the other extreme of the house to escape the cooking smells!, but the german pancakes actually went down pretty well and were quite easy to prepare. Hope your morning sickness passes soon!ReplyDelete
French Toast waffles are the BEST! I have picky eaters too and we eat this a lot in our house... Basically you can fix any french toast recipe and cook them in the waffle maker. SO easy and good. We found that it is best to use better denser bread than regular sandwich bread.ReplyDelete
Here is the recipe http://www.runnersworld.com/recipes/french-toast-waffles-delicious-worlds-collide
Also, we have tried the canned cinnamon rolls in the waffle maker from interest and they are awesome too!
Search for "toffee crack" on Pinterest, then make it immediately!! So simple and delicious!ReplyDelete

Get mini dark chocolate pieces, personally, I love Hershey's Bliss Rich & Creamy Dark Chocolate. Have one piece (one serving is 6 pieces) when you can fit it within your daily calorie limit.
Else try making fruity ice candies and have one. Use fruits and flavors of your choice.
Two good recipes are

Cravings can be emotional but it can also be needing a vitamin or mineral. For sugar cravings, take a B complex or extra protein (plain yogurt that you add your zero calorie flavorings to is really good for this). For chocolate cravings, you are looking at needing magnesium, I go between taking a supplement for that (no calories) or getting cocoa powder/stevia sweetener/nonalcohol vanilla (all zero calories) and adding that to whatever I am already eating. If you want the additive with the chocolate, this will be completely unhelpful fyi. I found that Acai powder feels like I am eating what I like about chocolate, if you are looking for a taste and not magnesium. I add that to a fruit smoothie. I only use stevia these days whether powder or liquid and it is sweeter than sugar used to be. If you are craving these because of the preservatives in what the items held, then these supplements won't stop the cravings. I have no suggestions on handling that except time and eating distracting type foods---that is when I began adding new tastes like acai and stevia and different textures. The adventures of figuring us out...

A couple people I know are strict on their diets 6 days a week and eat whatever they want on the 7th day and they claim they still lose weight. My husband also used to do this. I don't know why he stopped. I think it was because he was getting so much exercise that he didn't need to watch what he ate as much. 25 years later now he does need to watch what he eats. I have not tried this, but when my weight is down I think I will try this.

Yeah I done this after having my second child, I lost a ton of weight. I went from 5'1 140lbs to 108lbs. And I counted calories and exercised, weight lifted, my matabalism was pumped up so I was burning crazy calories. I have 20 or so lbs to lose before I will take a day. Cause I have a chocolate problem. And when I get stressed out I end up eating so in time I will be there.

I still treat myself in the evening. I buy the miniature versions of candy bars I like. (Milky Way/Twix/Reese's) and allow myself to eat only 2 pieces. Usually that's about 80 - 100 calories. It keeps me satisfied which in turn keeps me going and it's never hindered a weight-loss yet =)

As for sweet treats, there are lots of sugar free puddings that I find delicious; my favorite is Jello brand creme brulee flavor rice pudding (I usually put a little sprinkle of walnuts on top for crunch and for flavor contrast).
As for the cravings themselves, check how much of your diet is carbs. Carbs want carbs, and by eating bread or rice or something else carby you are almost certainly creating these sugar cravings. Cutting back on your carbs will make your life a lot easier on the cravings front.
I just took a quick peek at your food diary, and in the admittedly brief look I saw that most days your net carb intake is in the 150g-200g range, while the highest I ever saw your protein was right around 60g. Trust me, I am a true carb lover and I came to this conclusion extremely reluctantly ...but I DID come to it: you will feel a lot better and have way fewer (and less intense!) of these cravings if you significantly increase your protein intake and cut way back on the carbs. Having 3-4 times as many carbs as protein is a perfect way to create this cravings scenario you're describing!
Luckily it's not a hard thing to do, it just takes a little thought and preplanning and a slightly new perspective. You can do it!

I have a massive sweet tooth too.
I found that subbing out sweets for sweet soft fruit helped loads! the natural sweetness of the dried fruit fills my sugar craving and the fibre and vitamins in the fruit is better for me than the chocolate etc in sweets. x

These are all very interesting takes on our cravings. I do not have one answer fits all situations. M&Ms are my downfall. I cannot even have them around. Blueberries and raspberries really do it for me. I will also make treats like take raisins and/currents and drop them into melted 95% chocolate sweetened by me with cyclamen-saccharine tablets. Knowing how tasty these are, I WILL make them if I really want to helps me say "No' to those overly sweet and fatty choc covered raisins in the stores. I cannot imitate M%M tho. I also make a mix with natural yoghurt and beaten eggwhites sweetened by me. Doing my sweetening I see that I prefer things not so sweet anyway. This way I step away from the escalation occurring in the food industry, where they add more and more sweetners in our foods. I was shocked the last time I visited the States to see how much oil and fats are in commercial granola cereals. Here they juggling of percentages of sweetners by breaking them up into barley sweetner, malt syrup, converted corn syrup etc. It is a mine field.

I have read that when you crave certain foods your body is missing or low on a mineral/vitamin. In particular, when you are craving sweets, you are supposedly low on vitamin C. I had a HUGE sweet tooth and I know when I upped the dosage of my daily vitamin C it did help curb it down a little.

I cure cravings by having steak and eggs. If I eat anything with flour or sugar the cravings come back. My whole program is just basically the elimination of grains and sugar. So I mostly eat salads, nuts, and vegetables, but I also make certain I get protein in the form of fish, meat, or eggs every day.
I have also noticed that my hunger is much lower and my energy levels are much higher. Now I don't even think of sugary refined stuff like donuts as food. They are more like Alcohol. Not really any nutrition in it.

Absolutely. My boyfriend, who is not dieting, could eat a whole bag of marshmallows when he gets a craving for one, or a whole bag of potato chips, or of corn chips with salsa. But if I made him eat a steak and veggies at that point, the cravings would just stop.
We need to take responsibility for our eating habits, to learn that if the first craving isn't satisfied by eating what we craved, following ones won't be either. When I crave cheese, I have a little piece. If I want more, I eat meat and stop craving the cheese.

To satisfy my craving for sweets I plan for and eat a cup of Greek yogart after my last meal of the day. Works every time for me and it is healthy.

Honoring excellence: 2012-2013 SoM faculty and student awards
October 29, 2013
Celebrating the foundation of our institution: our outstanding educators, students and our educational mission
Inspire. Motivate. Challenge. Make a difference. A great teacher can impact a student in many ways while translating knowledge into understanding and sparking a student's future career.
During the annual Faculty Teaching Honors & Student Awards Luncheon held this year on Oct. 29, the School of Medicine honored 15 distinguished School of Medicine faculty members and four students for their outstanding contributions to the school's education mission.
The atmosphere in the BICC Gallery during this year's event was jovial, as current and past award recipients, faculty colleagues, students, staff and family celebrated with the awardees; George Mejicano, M.D., senior associate dean for education, emceed.
"It's an honor for me to be your emcee but more important is honoring all of the award winners. It truly takes a village to achieve our educational mission. Great mentors demand excellence and push people to be their very best," said Dr. Mejicano. "Arguably, our responsibility is not only to generate discoveries and disseminate them but to provide an incubator for the next generation of physicians and scientists and we could not do that without the people in this room."
2013 Faculty Excellence in Education Awards
Two faculty members received the highest honors; they were nominated by their colleagues in recognition for outstanding contributions to medical and graduate education.
- Deborah A. Finn, Ph.D., Professor, Behavioral Neuroscience
- Marc V. Gosselin, M.D., Associate Professor, Diagnostic Radiology
2013 Excellence in Teaching Awards – Graduate and M.D. Programs
Twelve faculty members were nominated and selected by students in recognition of their outstanding teaching. Allison Fryer, Ph.D., associate dean for graduate studies, called the graduate studies faculty "real superstars" while giving out their awards.
- John Brigande, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Otalaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery
- Virginia Brooks, Ph.D., Professor, Physiology and Pharmacology
- Gary Ciment, Ph.D., Professor, Cell and Developmental Biology
- Philip F. Copenhaver, Ph.D., Professor, Cell and Developmental Biology
- Thomas DeLoughery, M.D., Professor, Medicine - Hematology and Medical Oncology
- Ken Gatter, M.D., J.D., Associate Professor, Pathology
- Melanie B. Gillingham, Ph.D., R.D., Assistant Professor, Molecular and Medical Genetics
- David B. Jacoby, M.D., Professor, Medicine - Pulmonary and Critical Care
- Atiya Mansoor, M.D., Associate Professor, Pathology - Anatomical Pathology
- Andrey E. Ryabinin, Ph.D., Professor, Behavioral Neuroscience
- Buddy Ullman, Ph.D., Professor, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
- John T. Williams, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor, Physiology and Pharmacology (Vollum Institute, Neuroscience Graduate Program)
"I'm honored and pleased to be here with all of these excellent teachers. They have all inspired us as well as our students," said Tracy Bumsted, M.D., MPH, associate dean for undergraduate education, as she introduced the M.D. program teaching award winners. "It's a great day for the educational mission at OHSU."
Four M.D. students were recognized. James E. Anstey, MS3, and Kevin S. Kolahi, MS3, were given the school's award for academic excellence. The Alpha Kappa Kappa Award, recognizing second-year medical students chosen by their peers for demonstrating the qualities of a true physician, went to Katy M. Schousen, MS2, and Dallas J. Swanson, MS2. "It's an amazing honor to be selected by my peers," said Swanson. "That is the most meaningful part: that the people I've worked with over the last few years have selected me as a representative of what it means to be a doctor."
Both course awards have gone to the same course over the last four years. The Outstanding MS1 Course Award went to Systems Processes and Homeostasis, directed this year by Dennis R. Koop, Ph.D., professor of physiology and pharmacology. The MS2 course award went to Circulation, directed over the last three years by Atiya Mansoor, M.D., associate professor of pathology.

Natural gas ruled out as cause of Nashua fireBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
July 11. 2013 8:36PM
NASHUA — State and city fire officials searched through the charred remains of a home on Carlisle Road on Thursday, trying to piece together what may have sparked a large fire that killed one person. Officials did, however, rule out a natural gas leak as the cause.
Authorities on Thursday still refused to identify the person who died in Wednesday's explosion and fire at 7 Carlisle Road. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday morning.
"The identity is still being withheld to protect the family's privacy. If they want to release it, they can do that," said Cynthia Bautista, Nashua fire marshal. The gender and age of the victim is also being withheld.
The family, according to Bautista, is receiving assistance from their church organization. Their pastor, she added, is helping to provide the family with necessary support during this trying time.
Crews returned to the fire scene on Thursday, picking through the rubble and shoring up the building.
"It is deemed unsafe, so we want it boarded before we leave," Bautista said.
Although the origin and cause of the fire have not yet been determined, she said, fire investigators have ruled out natural gas as the cause of the two-alarm blaze.
"I don't want any citizens to have concerns about a natural gas leak in the city," she said.
Bautista described the blaze as "pretty unique" but refused to elaborate on why the fire was so unusual in nature.
City firefighters were called to the two-story residence shortly after 2 p.m. Wednesday for a reported explosion and fire. The house was fully involved upon arrival, which stalled an immediate search of the building, said fire officials.
A side wall of the house flew off the structure because of the explosion's impact, according to Max Schultz, assistant state fire marshal. A garage door was also blown off, he said.
Once crews extinguished some of the blaze and firefighters were able to get inside of the building to search, the victim's body was discovered, Schultz said earlier, refusing to comment on where the person was found inside of the house.
Although fire officials have still not released the name of the victim or the homeowner, city tax records identify the property owner as Clara G. Demeusy. Online phone records list A. James and C. Bellefroid as occupants of the home.
Bautista said officials want to secure the house as soon as possible to prevent any children or curious individuals from attempting to roam inside.

YONKERS, N.Y. – A New York State trooper who crashed his cruiser into a Hawthorne home is recovering and expected to be fine, state police said Sunday.
The unidentified trooper was taken to Westchester Medical Center after he slammed into a tree and skidded into a home at 302 Bradhurst Ave., around 6:42 p.m. Saturday.
State police declined to release any more information, saying the incident is still under investigation and the trooper was on duty at the time of the crash.
Katherine Laurence, who was visiting her brother-in-law, homeowner Robert Sarlo, at the time of the accident, said the pair heard a "tremendous bang."
"Both of us jumped off our chairs," she said Sunday. "I was thinking my brother-in-law got hurt and he thought I dropped something heavy. Then we saw trooper's lights out on the street."
After rushing outside, they saw the trooper being helped out of the car before being taken away in an ambulance. Laurence said she had been told the officer was driving one of two state police cars responding to a call when he was cut off and skidded off the road.
After smashing into a front yard tree, the car collided with the home.
"Certainly if he hadn't hit the tree he probably would've come right through the dining room," the California woman said Sunday. "We couldn't believe it. We stood there in awe."
The front end of the trooper's car was crumpled and was towed away from the house around 7:45 p.m. While the century-old home suffered some minor damage, Laurence said she was thankful there were no serious injuries.
"You can always repair a house but if somebody is killed or seriously injured you can't replace that," she said.

Thanks for the info. Your average speed looks remarkably consistent! Gaastra doesn't seem to be very available around here though.
Re: NJS CF6 for sale
I have a 2012 NJS CF6 that I am going to post for sale on I kitesurf if your still in the market, asking $900 obo. I bought it last November from John Gomes and have never used it. Barely enough time just to kite occasionally let alone find the time to learn to ride a race board. Typical cart before the horse scenario. It's in really nice shape with just a few small ding repairs performed by Nils for John. I also have a set of Rista fin with covers to go with it 2- 41.6 cm, 1- 38.4 cm, asking $300.
I live in the East Bay.

Droncit Feline 23mg falls under the category of dewormer drugs, and are efficient feline cestocide tablets. It is an effective medication, exclusively meant for the treatment of tapeworms in cats. The harmful feline cestodes like Dipylidium caninum and Taenia taeniaeformis are completely removed by the action of Droncit feline 23mg.Droncit feline 23mg works to make the tapeworm inactive and thus makes it unable to attach itself to the intestine of the cats. As a result, the parasite gets digested and eliminated from the body. Droncit feline 23mg can be safely used in pregnant or breeding cats too.
While administering Droncit, special care should be taken to maintain good personal hygiene as the tapeworms are highly contagious. Cats with a past history of allergy to praziquantel should be kept away from Droncit. It is also not recommended to use Droncit in cats less than six weeks old.
The ideal dosage suggested for cats depends on their body weight. For cats and kittens over 6 weeks and under 4lbs body weight, it would be best to give ½ a tab. For cats with a body weight of 5-11lbs give 1 tab, and for those over 11 lbs, 1 ½ tab would be sufficient. Administration can be done by crumbling and mixing it with food. It is not necessary to take the medication without food as fasting is neither necessary nor recommended by veterinarians. Dosage also depends on the size of the cats as smaller cats require higher doses because of the higher rate of metabolism in them. The dosage should not be increased or decreased without the advice of a veterinarian as over dosage can prove to be harmful. In case the pets exhibit symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or salivation, seek immediate veterinary help. The duration of treatment can be prolonged only as per veterinary instructions, if the conditions do not improve within the stipulated time.

BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Angela Merkel's center-left challenger accused the German leader of isolating the country in Europe as he sought Sunday to kick-start his campaign for next year's elections, pledging to make social policy and promises of tougher financial regulation central issues.
Former Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck's Social Democrats rallied around him after a difficult start to his quest to unseat Merkel. About 93 percent of delegates at a special party convention endorsed the 65-year-old Steinbrueck, who ran unopposed, as her challenger in parliamentary elections expected in September.
Merkel's conservatives lead polls, helped by the chancellor's personal popularity — itself bolstered by her hard-nosed approach to Europe's debt crisis. But the outcome remains far from certain, with surveys showing a majority neither for her center-right coalition nor for Steinbrueck's hoped-for alliance with the Green party.
The center-left parties have criticized Merkel for what they decry as a too-little, too-late response to the eurozone's debt crisis, but have supported her rescue plans in parliament. They have argued more needs to be done to foster economic growth, and lack her aversion to any kind of pooling of European countries' debt.
"We must show the flag and go into this election with a clear pro-European position — not fearing the resentments that exist, not fearing the position of some that 'we don't want to pay for other countries,'" Steinbrueck said in a televised speech to the party convention in Hannover.
"In the eyes of our neighbors, we are acting in a pretty schoolmasterly way at the moment — a good neighbor doesn't do that," he said. "My main accusation is that Mrs. Merkel has (led) Germany into isolation in Europe."
Steinbrueck didn't go into details of European policy in a speech that hammered home his party's center-left credentials. He declared it will make the election "a face-off about social policy," with promises of a mandatory minimum wage and a quota for women in management positions, among other things.
Steinbrueck has called for big European banks to build up a rescue fund of their own rather than relying on taxpayer-funded aid. He pledged "instead of capitulation in the face of financial markets' potential for blackmail, more rigid regulation and supervision of financial markets."
Taxes for top earners need to rise to finance spending on education, infrastructure and Germany's transition from nuclear to renewable energy, he said, while stressing that keeping down debt is essential.
Party leaders nominated Steinbrueck in September. His start was marred by criticism of his high earnings for lectures — about €1.25 million ($1.6 million) for speaking to audiences including financial institutions — that he gave after leaving government in 2009.
"My speaking fees were stones that I have in my luggage and unfortunately put on your shoulders too," Steinbrueck said, thanking his party for "carrying and bearing this burden with me."

HOPKINTON, Mass. (AP) — EMC's second-quarter net income was driving higher by nearly 8 percent thanks to surging demand data storage equipment.
The company affirmed its full-year profit and revenue guidance, and its shares jumped more than 6 percent in early trading.
For the quarter ended June 30, EMC earned $701 million, or 32 cents per share, compared with $650 million, or 29 cents per share, last year. Adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expenses, amortization costs and other items, earnings were 42 cents per share.
Revenue rose 5.7 percent to $5.61 billion from $5.31 billion, with both product sales and services logging gains.
U.S. revenue, which represents just over half of all revenue for the company, rose 4 percent. Revenue outside of the U.S. jumped 8 percent. The Asia Pacific and Japan and the Latin American regions both posted double-digit gains, EMC said.
"The strength and demand we saw during the quarter, despite a cautious IT spending environment, speaks to the soundness of our strategy, the value customers see in our federated business model, and the massive opportunity ahead in cloud computing, big data and trusted IT," Joe Tucci, EMC chairman and CEO, said in a statement.
The results come a day after EMC's majority-owned subsidiary VMware Inc. posted a 27 percent jump in second-quarter net income, helped by growing demand for its virtualization software.
During the second quarter, EMC and VMware formed a new company called Pivotal, which very good progress" in its debut, according to EMC. It is scheduled to launch the first version of its new platform for next-generation big and fast data applications by year-end.
EMC expects 2013 earnings per share of $1.85 and revenue of $23.5 billion. That's slightly better than the $1.86 per-share earnings and revenue of $23.42 billion projected by Wall Street.
The Hopkinton, Mass., company also said it expects to repurchase $3.5 billion of its stock in 2013 and the first half of 2014.
In morning trading, shares of EMC Corp. added $1.69 to $27.02.

Des Plaines, Bensenville residents compete on 'Millionaire'
Robert Ziecik, an advertising manager from Des Plaines, and Sara Hoskins, a stay-at-home mom from Bensenville, are competing this week on "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire."
Ziecik is a contestant on the episode airing 4 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 10, on WGN. He will continue his appearance as a holdover contestant on Friday's show. Immediately after he finishes, Hoskins will be on the show.
Ziecik, 29, is the son of Genevieve and Stanley Ziecik of Des Plaines and is a 2001 graduate of Prospect High School. Ziecik, who is taking improv classes at Second City, learned to speak English watching television after his parents came to the U.S. with "one suitcase and $50 in their pockets," according to the news release. If he won big, he would use his winnings to travel, start his own marketing business, give money to his parents and open a self-defense school.
Hoskins, 31, and her husband, Steven, have a young daughter Nora. They've been living with her mother, Liz Szymanski, for several years since they both lost their jobs, according to the news release. Her husband has since gone back to work, but a big win would let them get a "cute little SUV" to cart her newly expanding family around, make a down payment on a house and take her mom on a trip.

Friends, we are dealing with a real three headed monster: Abortion and Unnatural Contraceptives, Racism and Homosexuality. All three fly in the face of God, pretty much saying: "No God, we won't be fruitful and multiply. We will not procreate your beloved human family. We will kill our babies, make sure we don't get pregnant in the first place, refuse to marry anyone who doesn't have our skin color and call it racial purity, and finally, we will have same-sex-sex, which sure as you know what won't cause anyone to get pregnant." Oh, wow!
What's really sad is that when we protect these positions with "misplaced compassion," and try to call these moral wrongs civil rights, we hurt society and humanity. Love, real love never fails. We must not judge one another, we must simply tell the truth and slay the beast. The Sword of the Spirit is a very effective weapon; the Blood of Jesus is a super source; and the real super hero is the Holy Spirit. And remember, our all powerful FATHER GOD is LOVE and LOVE never fails.

When I started SB nearly a year ago the intent was to supplement what I wrote at Cracked. Unfortunately, as of today said contributions at Cracked comprise entirely of a single Photoplasty entry. I haven't even sent them a proposal in months. It's very much a lack of desire on my part, and also because I think they've slipped a bit recently. Don't get me wrong, they still produce great stuff from time to time. I'm just not "feeling" them as much anymore.
Too many movie and video game articles I frankly don't give a rat's ass about.

That said, there's plenty of other good stuff out there. That's a good thing, given what kind of a slacker I am.

With the start of the 2013 hurricane season just a week away, Shawn Wood, director of Gadsden County's Emergency Management Office, said the county is getting ready.
June 1 is the kickoff of the 2013-2014 hurricane season. On Saturday, the Emergency Management Office, the City of Quincy's Anti-Litter Campaign and the Gadsden County School Board will partner for a day of information and enlightenment on the Courthouse Square from noon to 4 p.m.
The aim was to use that day and site for distribution of important community information.
"We've met with county officials and given a thorough briefing of where we are in terms of our readiness for the impending hurricane season. We've also met with the City of Quincy officials and held a tabletop briefing with them. Our plans are to meet with each municipality and explain in detail where we are on our readiness," said Wood.
Throughout the year Wood, administrative assistant Tashonda Williams and EM Coordinator Red Cross liaison Col. Charles Brinkley have been attending trainings, conducting trainings and coordinating volunteers to make sure that citizens are as prepared as possible if a hurricane strikes the area.
"You cannot plan for everything that might happen because every storm is different. The thing is for us to be as prepared as possible and be prepared to be flexible so that we can handle anything problem that crops up," Wood said.
This year is expected to be an active year with between three and six major hurricanes making landfall in Florida.
"We could get one in the early part of the season in June or we could get one as late as the end of November. And we may not get one at all. But we can't depend on not getting one; it is our job to be ready and have elected and appointed officials and citizens as ready as possible," he said.
Wood said citizens will be able to access a wealth of information concerning hurricanes and tornadoes and what they can do for personal readiness during the kickoff.

Achille Castiglioni
Oct 7, 2011 3:29:01 PM
Achille Castiglioni was a renowned Italian industrial designer. He was often inspired by everyday things and made use of ordinary materials. He preferred to use a minimal amount of materials to create forms with maximal effect. The professional partnership by Achille Castiglioni, Livio Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni has been called the "Castiglioni brothers", which Livio left in 1952. This group has become one of the most witty, elegant and innovative partnerships in modern design. The brothers worked from the viewpoint that design must restructure an object's function, form and production process, and applied this maxim to every work that they produced. Castiglioni described this process with these words: "Start from scratch. Stick to common sense. Know your goals and means".
In the 1950s the Castiglioni brothers publicly cemented their commitment to redesigning objects, with their tractor seat stool, Mezzadro and their Sella chair made of a bicycle seat. Castiglioni said of his design for the Sella, "When I use a pay phone, I like to move around, but I also would like to sit, but not completely." These designs drew upon the ready made school of art, in which everyday objects are repurposed for the showroom floor.
In 1962 the brothers introduced "Arco", a floor lamp with a long, curved arm extending eight feet from the marble base which had to be moved by two people inserting a broomstick through the hole in the base.
Their Snoopy Lamp of 1967 was a table lamp, indeed inspired by the cartoon character, also had a marble base, which stabilized the egg-shaped metal and glass shade. Their "Toio" (1962) lamp again used the PDC method, using a car reflector as its inspiration. Their lighting system for the Montecatini pavilion at the Milan Fair in 1962 featured cone shaped lights suspended from wires.
The Castiglionis also designed the "RR126" stereo system (1965), which was meant to be a "musical pet." The dials and controls form the shape of a face, with the speakers as ears. This design, for Brionvega, was free standing, with casters to make it mobile, and the speakers folded up when not in use, to make the design more compact.

STOCKTON - In an era when coaches are fired with regularity or frequently move from place to place, Bob Thomason has been the head men's basketball coach at his alma mater, University of the Pacific, for 25 years.
STOCKTON - In an era when coaches are fired with regularity or frequently move from place to place, Bob Thomason has been the head men's basketball coach at his alma mater, University of the Pacific, for 25 years.
He jokes his longevity is due to the cadre of athletic directors who have come through Pacific and not had enough time on the job to evaluate him.
Not so.
Thomason's longevity is a result of his talent and commitment to Pacific, his players, the coaches who have shared the bench with him, and his love for Stockton. Last May, the 63-year-old basketball lifer announced he would retire following this season.
The time has passed quickly.
Thomason will patrol the Spanos Center sideline for the last time in a regular-season game at 4 p.m. today when the Tigers host rival Long Beach State. Prior to tipoff, the program will honor its seniors and the university will honor Thomason. Following the game, a reception will take place at the Janssen-Lagorio Gymnasium. The invitation-only event had to be moved from Alumni Hall when the number of confirmed guests swelled in excess of 500. Next week, Thomason will lead Pacific to the Big West Conference Tournament in Anaheim with a berth in the NCAA Tournament at stake.
"If you worked with Bob Thomason, you knew it was all about Pacific," said athletic director Ted Leland on May 21, 2012, when Thomason announced his pending retirement at a news conference at Spanos Center. "You were confident that his values, his decisions and his philosophy were compatible with the mission of this institution. We're lucky to have had a coach for 25 years that had those attributes."
In 1988, Thomason inherited a program that finished the 1987-88 season riding the nation's longest losing streak - 22 games. The men's basketball office was crammed inside the main gymnasium on campus. There was a desk. That was about it. No telephone. No typewriter. No partitions. Barb Paris was the secretary for a dozen or so athletic programs at Pacific, including men's basketball. Among Thomason's first acts was hiring his own secretary.
"I had nothing to do any work with," said Marilyn Olsen, who worked for Thomason from July 1988 until she retired in November 2004. "I came into an empty office. The coaches were all on recruiting trips and I remember looking out the window thinking, 'What have I gotten myself into?' "
Thomason might have had the same thought when he looked at the composition of the Big West Conference. In those days, the Big West was a top-notch conference, home to UNLV with Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon, Greg Anthony and later J.R. Rider; Cedric Ceballos and Bruce Bowen at Cal State Fullerton; Bryon Russell and Lucious Harris at Long Beach State; and Brian Shaw at UC Santa Barbara. Thomason met the initial challenges head on with enthusiasm and passion, qualities that haven't wavered in a quarter century.
"UNLV was unbelievable at the time, so you start playing against these teams and you have to figure out what can your niche be, as far as recruiting and coaching and style of play," Thomason said. "You want the best players you can get and put them in a system where they will be successful, and you want to have a toughness about who you are."
From those daunting beginnings, Thomason will leave Pacific as the eighth longest tenured coach in the country, the winningest coach in Pacific (432) and Big West Conference (247) history, owner of six conference titles and five conference coach of the year awards. He has sent four teams to the NCAA Tournament, including a run of three consecutive appearances and two consecutive first-round victories. He helped turn Michael Olowokandi from a basketball neophyte from England into the first overall pick of the 1998 NBA Draft. Some of his teams will go down as the best in program history.
Thomason has helped shape the lives of nearly 130 student-athletes who have graduated at a 96-percent clip, and more than a dozen assistant coaches.
"One of the things that I've always liked about Bob is how intense he is," said Adam Jacobsen, who's in his 12th season on Thomason's coaching staff after setting program career records for assists (436) and 3-point field goals (311) with the Tigers from 1993-98. "He has a great passion for winning and doing things right."
Thomason wasted no time proving his passion. Soon after he accepted the Pacific job, Thomason had to re-recruit guard Dell Demps, now the general manager of the New Orleans Hornets. Demps had signed with head coach Tom O'Neill, but when O'Neill was let go during the 1987-88 season, Demps considered other options. Thomason won him over.
"I remember he had this incredible energy and passion," Demps said.
Thomason told Demps he would make him a good 3-point shooter. Demps said he made maybe five 3-point shots at Mt. Eden High in Hayward, "and three of them were at the end of the quarter."
"I couldn't shoot to save my life at that time," said Demps, a standout guard for the Tigers from 1988-92. "I thought he was nuts. But he really believed it and he made me believe it."
Demps went on to set Pacific's career 3-point field goals record with 230 - a mark Jacobsen eclipsed in 1998. Demps still is second in career points at Pacific with 1,742. He played in the NBA and overseas before embarking on an NBA front-office career.
"He really stressed fundamentals and playing the right way," Demps said.
Thomason turned Charles Terrell into a point guard.
"I had never played point guard in my life," said Terrell, a Tiger from 1992-94 who works in marketing for Nike in Portland, Ore. "He developed me. That changed my whole career and I developed leadership skills that I'm using today. I'll always be indebted to him for that."
Thomason's coaching philosophy was shaped largely by his father, Bob Thomason Sr., a successful basketball coach at Pittsburg High from 1951-62, and the late Dick Edwards, the Tigers' hard-nosed coach from 1963-72. Thomason started for Edwards at shooting guard for part of the 1969-70 season and the entire 1970-71 season, when Pacific reached the NCAA Regionals with Edison graduate John Gianelli at center. Like his mentors, Thomason stresses fundamentals and discipline. Substance matters more than flash. Hard work beats cutting corners every day.
"I think you have to play unselfishly, I think you need to play it all out and I think you need to play it for your teammates," Thomason said. "I think you need to play it for the program and the boosters and the school. So, I think there are a lot of things involved with that."
Thomason's metaphor to illustrate his coaching model breaks personal, program and team goals into three separate circles. When they overlap, like the Olympic rings, drawing elements from each circle, personal and team success can be realized.
Thomason's first conference title came in 1996-97 with a hard-working team that won 16 games in a row at one point and included guards Mark Boelter and Corey Anders, forwards Rayne Mahaffey and Aaron Woliczko, and Olowokandi, who played in only 12 games because of injury. Jacobsen missed the entire season with a knee injury. The Tigers were beaten by St. Joseph's in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in their first appearance since 1978-79.
In 1997-98, Olowokandi was "a great player, a stud," Thomason said.
"The Candy Man," a native of Lagos, Nigeria, whose father was a diplomat in London, was named the 1997-98 Big West Player of the Year after setting Pacific's single-season scoring record with 732 points. That team also won 16 consecutive games and earned its second consecutive regular-season conference championship. Pacific was NCAA Tournament worthy, but Anders suffered an injury to his hand late in the season. The Tigers lost to Utah State in the tournament championship game and settled for a berth in the National Invitation Tournament, where they lost in the first round to Fresno State.
In 2003-04, the Tigers had another 16-game winning streak and earned a ticket to the NCAA Tournament with the conference tournament championship. Guard Miah Davis was named Big West Player of the Year. Thomason said his program finally earned national credibility when the Tigers upset Providence in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Kansas City.
"That set the tone, beating Providence," Thomason said. "Nobody thought we were going to win that game. It gave us credibility that not only we could go the NCAA Tournament, but we could win."
The following season, Pacific set a single-season program record with 27 wins, including 22 in a row. The Tigers defeated all 18 conference opponents in the regular season and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament after losing to Utah State in the conference tournament title game. Pacific traveled to Boise, Idaho, and beat Pittsburgh in the first round, becoming the first Big West team to win back-to-back NCAA Tournament games since New Mexico State in 1991-92 and 1992-93.
"I loved coaching that team," Thomason said. "They wanted to win so bad. They sacrificed so much for each other. They were, by far, the most talented team I coached. That was a great team - 13-1 on the road. How about that? Think anyone will break that?"
David Doubley, who transferred to Pacific from Skyline College in San Bruno, was the 2004-05 Big West Conference Player of the Year. Swedish forward Christian Maraker and Parisian center Guillaume Yango were first-team selections.
"I love competing and that's why Coach and I got along so well," said Doubley, who coaches and officiates youth basketball in Oakland. "We're the same type of person. We love being in the gym, love working hard and we love competing."
Thomason said the 2005-06 team, which captured the conference tournament championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the third year in a row, got more out of its abilities than any team he coached. Maraker was the Big West Player of the Year and with guards Johnny Gray, a first-team All-Big West selection, and Mike Webb, Pacific was poised to get past the first round of the NCAAs for the third consecutive time. But Pacific was denied, in large part, because of a controversial call that helped Boston College escape in double overtime.
"If we don't get that bad call, we win that game," Thomason said. "That was a big moment. It was a bad call that cost our league to go to the next game and we would have played Montana to advance to the Sweet 16, so you never know what would have happened."
Pat Douglass, who played with Thomason at Pacific in 1970 and coached against him while at UC Irvine from 1997-2010, said it always was challenging to compete against Thomason's teams because they were so well-prepared.
"I actually tried to have my team ready to play maybe more so than usual because of the pride and respect I had for the guy on the other end," said Douglass, Thomason's longtime best friend. "It was fun watching film to see what they were doing and create a strategy to implement to be successful."
Thomason made several lifelong friends while at Pacific on and off the court. Rob DeWitt, a former men's basketball coach at Delta College, was a teammate of Thomason's at Pacific.
"We lived in the same dorm and got to be close friends right off the bat," said DeWitt, who helped Thomason get his first coaching job as an assistant under Tom Conway at Stagg High in 1971. "One of the things that stood out to me at the very beginning was he just had this memory for basketball. He could remember every play of every game he played or watched. He could describe his dad's games at Pittsburg High and his games at Clayton Valley (Thomason's high school alma mater in Concord). He had a memory that was uncanny."
Much of what Thomason enjoyed about Pacific - the close-knit bond between students, the small class sizes and helpful instructors - has comprised his recruiting pitch to prospective student-athletes.
"I don't think people know how many guys this place changed," Thomason said. "It has enabled people to learn who they are, from their communication to confidence and who they are off the court. Whatever you call that education, I call it awesome."
Many will remember Thomason as the face of Pacific men's basketball for the past quarter century, a loyal Tiger, who brought the university and the Stockton area many great memories.
"His record speaks for itself," said Denis Willens, who helped recruit Thomason to Pacific when he was an assistant under Edwards, and who immediately preceded Thomason as the Tigers' interim head coach in 1987-88. "He's so darned knowledgeable about basketball. He's done an outstanding job at Pacific."

President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney traded facts and figures from Medicare to the Middle East on Tuesday night in the second of three presidential debates.
But not everything the candidates said during the high-stakes debate at Long Island's Hofstra University was concrete correct. Here's a fact check of some of what they said:
In response to the debate's first question, Romney said: "I want to make sure we keep our Pell Grant program growing. We're also going to have our own loan program, so that people are able to afford school."
Romney has argued that "a flood of federal dollars" is contributing to the increasing cost of higher education. In an education white paper he vowed not to "write a blank check to universities to reward their tuition increases." Romney's campaign said he would not reduce the maximum Pell Grant award of $5,550 a year.
Romney suggested early in the debate that he proposed bankruptcy for General Motors and Chrysler and that Obama pursued the plan Romney suggested. That's not correct. Obama pursued a structured bankruptcy for the automakers, one where details such as what unions and management would each give up, and what would happen to restructuring of the companies' debt, were worked out in advance. This assured the companies would enter and leave bankruptcy quickly, instead of a long, drawn-out proceeding that could have pulled many suppliers into bankruptcy, too.
Romney suggested that the lack of a clear energy policy is why gasoline prices are higher today than when Obama took office. Obama correctly noted that he came into office amid the deepest crisis since the Great Depression, one where demand for gasoline and oil plunged and took prices with it. Separately, however, there is plenty of evidence than the price of oil has increasingly been driven by factors having little to do with supply and demand, factors such as large-scale financial speculation, soaring oil prices because of fears of Middle East unrest and even the strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar.
Obama and Romney sparred over why the number of leases on federal land for oil and gas drilling have fallen. Obama correctly noted that he revamped the leasing program in an effort to force energy companies to use their leases or lose them. Curiously, the president did not mention the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Much of the drilling on federal land is actually offshore, and much of the falloff in production came in the aftermath of the devastating oil spill, when the administration halted deepwater drilling and slowed shallow water activity in order to review safety procedures.
Romney challenged the Obama administration's varying accounts of the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi.
He said that the president himself called it an act of terror in a Rose Garden statement the following day, and yet five days later, Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, called it a spontaneous assault prompted by an anti-Islamic video posted on YouTube. The first administration official to publicly call the assault a "terrorist attack" was Matthew Olsen, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, during a Sept. 19 appearance before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Obama, without addressing the differences in the administration's accounts, agreed that he'd called the assault an act of terror in the Rose Garden, as did the moderator, Candy Crowley.
Yet the transcript of the statement shows that all three misspoke. Obama did not directly and specifically call the assault an act of terror.
Instead, he appeared to be speaking generically about how acts of terror wouldn't change the values of the country and its people:
"Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe. No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for."
The candidates argued over China, with Romney saying he would label China a currency manipulator on his first day in office. Doing so, he said, would allow him to impose penalties on Chinese goods. The penalties would actually be limited, and Democrats in the Senate have proposed a bill that would give the right to take tough actions to prod China. Candidate Obama in 2008 supported such legislation but as president did not push for it. What Romney did not say Tuesday is that such a move would also make imported goods more expensive, and China would be sure to retaliate against U.S. exports, which have grown sharply to China.
Obama, in defending his record on China, said tough actions on China have resulted in the Asian power allowing its currency to appreciate 11 percent. China has allowed its currency to appreciate, a process that followed a dialogue started under the Bush administration by then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. Obama also suggested his pressure on China has resulted in more exports to China, which seems dubious since U.S. exports to China have grown steadily since China fully came under the umbrella of global trading rules in 2001.
Romney said Iran is four years closer to a nuclear bomb. Iran surmounted the most difficult facet of developing a nuclear weapon – enriching uranium in high-speed centrifuges – years before Obama became president. Moreover, the U.S. intelligence community said in a 2007 unclassified report that Iran stopped work on developing a nuclear warhead in 2003, but that it retained the ability to revive the effort.
"The U.S. intelligence community said with high confidence that Iran already has the scientific, technical and industrial capacity to produce nuclear weapons if it decides to do so. What that says is that basically there isn't a damn thing we can do aside from invading to stop them from getting a nuclear weapon if they decide to do so," said Greg Thielman, a former State Department intelligence analyst now with the Arms Control Association. "It's just a question of how long it would take them."
"Iran had the capability before Obama became president," he said, adding that Iran has shortened the time it would take to produce bomb-grade uranium since Obama took office. But, he said, Iran's stockpiles of low- and medium-enriched uranium are under constant monitoring by U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors and cameras.
"If they chose to break out, they would be completely exposed not for weeks, but months before they had the ability to threaten us with a nuclear weapon," said Thielman.
At the same time, Obama's strategy has not only failed to force Iran to halt uranium enrichment, but Tehran has continued expanding its enrichment capacity and refuses to answer U.N. questions about an alleged warhead development program.
Romney said that Obama failed to put forth an immigration overhaul plan in his first term. It's true that the Obama administration hasn't authored a specific immigration proposal, in large part because it knew that one wouldn't get through a Republican-controlled House of Representatives and would likely die a procedural death in the Senate. Obama did sign an executive order in June to stop deporting young illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children, if they meet certain requirements.
Romney has said he doesn't support the DREAM Act, a measure that would have allowed illegal immigrants under 30, who entered the United States before age 16 and lived in the country for five years without committing a serious crime, to be eligible for legal residency. However, Romney said he supports one provision in the act that allows a path to residency for illegal immigrants who serve in the U.S. military.
Obama charged that Romney embraced the controversial Arizona immigration law and called it "a model," but fact checkers have said that Romney at a Republican primary debate was referring to an earlier state law that required employers in the state to use the E-Verify system to determine whether someone is in the country legally, a point the Republican made in the debate.

text: Getting started *************** This document assumes that you know what CVS is, and that you at least knows the fundamental concepts of CVS. If that is not the case you should read the man page for CVS. Pcl-cvs is only useful once you have checked out a module. So before you invoke it you must have a copy of a module somewhere in the file system. You invoke pcl-cvs by typing `M-x cvs-update RET'. If your emacs responds with `[No match]' your system administrator has not installed pcl-cvs properly. Try `M-x load-library RET pcl-cvs RET'. If that also fails - talk to your root. If it succeeds you might put this line in your `.emacs' file so that you don't have to type the `load-library' command every time you wish to use pcl-cvs: (autoload 'cvs-update "pcl-cvs" nil t) The function `cvs-update' will ask for a directory. The command `cvs update' will be run in that directory. (It should contain files that have been checked out from a CVS archive.) The output from `cvs' will be parsed and presented in a table in a buffer called `*cvs*'. It might look something like this: PCL-CVS release 1.05. In directory /users/ceder/FOO/test: Updated bar Updated file.txt Modified ci namechange Updated newer In directory /users/ceder/FOO/test/sub: Modified ci ChangeLog ---------- End ----- In this example the three files (`bar', `file.txt' and `newer') that are marked with `Updated' have been copied from the CVS repository to `/users/ceder/FOO/test/' since someone else have checked in newer versions of them. Two files (`namechange' and `sub/ChangeLog') have been modified locally, and needs to be checked in. You can move the cursor up and down in the buffer with `C-n' and `C-p' or `n' and `p'. If you press `c' on one of the `Modified' files that file will be checked in to the CVS repository. Note: Committing changes. You can press `x' to get rid of the "uninteresting" files that have only been `Updated' (and don't require any further action from you). You can also easily get a `diff' between your modified file and the base version that you started from, and you can get the output from `cvs log' and `cvs status' on the listed files simply by pressing a key (Note: Getting info about files.).

If you are open to something not purist surfboard design you should try the Spleene Zone. It's a thin board, but has many surf style ride characteristics. I've been riding the 07 model (5-2 tri) for a couple of years, the new 09 model is 5'-8 quad. These boards have lots of flex, super forgiving, very durable...and a sweet ride. I am also now riding a 5-8 round nose fish surfboard (Aviso Lost) strapless on the cleaner days, but the strapped Zone is more fun when it's choppy/sloppy and you want to ride lit and boost airs. Obviously 2 completely different rides, but both fun in their own right. You're welcom to try mine if you can come to St. Pete before May1, or OBX early May.paul m wrote:Hey all, i dont get waves as constant as most of you, so i travel to score. I find i am riding alot of lefts, and since i am left foot foward i end up back side. Anyone working with any shapes that the rail is thinner and you get a more agressive rip off the lip and then drop back in. been thinking more of a smaller board like 5'7 some rocker.....just looking for feed back as i bet j have rode 20 boards in so many condtions inthe last few months, but i am searching for something that fits my style.......i want more rail grip

Movie crews were busy yesterday disguising downtown Worcester as 1970s New York City. A Studio 54 sign - or at least a replica of the one that hung outside the famous nightclub - has been installed just off Main Street on a Mechanics Street building. Honey Dew Donuts in Harrington Corner now looks like an off-track betting joint. And across the street, the front of the WCCA-TV 13 building is starting to resemble a cinema, with white marquee signs put in place this morning.
Crews worked in raw weather today to create the movie magic.
Hollywood stars and production crews descended in full force on the city this week. Director David O. Russell and a lineup of stars, among them Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Renner, are filming scenes at various locations in the city. Filming took place on Millbury Street yesterday and is expected to shift to downtown in the coming days.
The film crew, which is shooting in and around Boston, is working on a 1970s-era story about gambling officials who bribed New Jersey authorities to get a gaming license.
"My customers are excited," said Al Patel, manager of the Honey Dew Donuts, 426 Main St. "I'm excited."
Mr. Patel said someone representing the movie approached him and other Main Street business owners about a month ago to see if they would agree to have crews remake the facades of their businesses to make them resemble those in New York City in the 1970s.
"Now they're painting it green" Mr. Patel said pointing to painters working on the outside of his shop.
Mr. Patel and his wife, Jessica Patel, have been fielding a stream of questions from their customers in recent days. Not everyone was aware that a movie was in the works. Some customers asked if the doughnut shop was turning into a betting establishment.
A few doors down, Zach Photakis, owner of The Owl Shop, 416 Main St., is happy his existing sign - dating to 1946 - will make the cut. Crews told him his neon sign will stay because it is "period correct." An attached LED sign will be covered for the movie.
"We're going to stay because we're rather antiquated," Mr. Photakis said. "We've been on Main Street for 67 years and in this location for 47 years."
Mr. Photakis and many other business owners are anticipating filming on Monday. But the schedule could change. He hopes all the movie buzz will bring people downtown.
"Hopefully those union guys like cigars to go with their coffees," Mr. Photakis said.
Earlier this week, A-listers Lawrence, Bale and Renner were on scene at Nick's Bar and Restaurant at 154 Millbury St. Stars Robert DeNiro, Bradley Cooper and Amy Adams will also be in the yet-to-be-named film.
On Main Street today, crews installed an old-fashioned clock at Commerce Bank at Main and Pearl streets. A number of people along Main Street snapped pictures with their cell phones.
Tracy Petursson, manager of Spoodles Deli, 358 Main St., watched as crews began to bring heavy equipment to position their "new" sign in front of his storefront window.
"I don't even know what we're being transformed to," Ms. Petursson said. "It's pretty cool though."
Spoodles owner John Starfas said he and other business owners signed contracts and insurance forms a few weeks ago. He said every business on the street is getting at least $500 - and some notoriety.
"It will bring business I think," Mr. Starfas said. "There is a certain buzz in the air, and I think the movie will be good for downtown."
As some crews worked to install temporary signs at some businesses, others removed modern signs. The large Venue Nigh Club was taken down at 336 Main St. while inside windows were blacked out.
Huge lighting systems were moved into strategic places on Main Street and side streets.
"I like to see downtown with all the hustle and bustle," said Michael Shack, one of the owners of Shack's, 403 Main St.
He said his men shop's potential name is International Men's Clothing.
Filming is expected to continue into next week, but movie producers have been quiet about the specific schedule and how long the big stars will be in Worcester.
"It's all been really exciting," said Brunilda Gramo, one of the owners of Woosta Pizza, 407 Main St., "That's all people are talking about."
Woosta Pizza's temporary stage name is Prince Burger and Sandwiches. That new sign is up, and the familiar Woosta Pizza sign is scheduled to be removed soon.
"It's not something you see every day," said Joe Dayter of Auburn, as he and a friend spent the morning checking out some of the sights on Main Street. "I hope we're walking around when they're filming.."

BRUNSWICK, Ga. – A pair of teenagers was arrested Friday and accused of fatally shooting a 13-month-old baby in the face and wounding his mother during their morning stroll through a leafy, historic neighborhood.
Sherry West had just been to the post office a few blocks from her apartment Thursday morning and was pushing her son, Antonio, in his stroller while they walked past gnarled oak trees and blooming azaleas in the coastal city of Brunswick.
West said a tall, skinny teenager, accompanied by a smaller boy, asked her for money.
"He asked me for money and I said I didn't have it," she told The Associated Press on Friday.

OK, so I am going Yahoo crazy now, I was recently at a seminar and I heard this strange sound everytime a drawer at Yahoo employees desk was opened – I thought this would be a great ring-tone.
This was the Yahoo howler, YahOOOOoooo! – So with the help of my Windows Mobile phone I recorded the sound and now have it as my ring tone.
As I am so happy with it I am going to share it with you – Yaooo-Ring Tone.
It's a RMF file so you need QuickTime to play it or Windows Mobile Media Player.
