Skateboarding, art and the web, Parker Newman from Popdeck.com talks about his recently launched skateboard design community.

For your chance to win one of Popdeck's limited boards sign up for a profile on SkateboardVillage and send friend request to Popdeck on SkateboardVillage. On April 23rd one of Popdecks friends will be randomly chosen to win a Popdeck board.

What is Popdeck all about?

Popdeck is essentially a skateboard design competition. Started out as a passion between our love for design/art and skateboarding. We have always collected cool decks as art after we skated them up, and this was just the natural progression.

So who is popdeck or involved with creating the idea?

My twin brother and myself start Popdeck. We were previously in the t-shirt business and have always had a passion for skateboarding. We're located in Chicago.

How does it work?

We have an ongoing contest for skateboard art and every 3 weeks we pick a winner, pay them a prize and print there board. The community has the obligation of choosing the winners by rating each design submitted out of 5. After a winner is chosen, we award them 200 dollars and a free deck.

Don't Break my beat Board design by: nunosk8


Where are the boards made?

Our boards are made in Pennsylvania by the good people of Penn Woods.

Where did you get the idea for the website?

We were pretty involved in the design community from our prior work, and just were so impressed by the different mediums people could use to create art. Being skateboarders since forever, it just seemed like a cool idea.

Do you think more people buying popdeck’s are skating their decks or do you think they are using them as art or to hang on their walls?

Right now we want to say that 90 percent of boards sold are by skateboarders. I think though over the past few years, we have really seen a push to people presenting skateboards as art and we hope to open up into that more. To be honest, you really can’t get a great piece of art for cheaper then 40 bucks. But, at the end of the day, it is a skateboard and most people are grinding them up.

What do you think is the relationship between Skateboarding and Art?

Skateboarding has always been a way for people to express themselves. Whether it is by mastering tricks or the entire graffiti and streetwear scene that goes with it. I think it is a dual serving relationship and we have seen a lot of artist come out that were skaters, these guys then become great artist and then give back to the skate community. A prime example of this to me is having these great grafitti artist that came out in the 90’s are now established gallery artists.

One prime example is Eric Elms, he was very into that whole scene in the 90’s. Started off as just a graf writer and now we have seen his amazing art on skate brands such as Supreme.

 

Why have you decided to produce and sell decks in only 20 units?

We started this as an idea to merge art and skating, but didn’t want this to be something that was completely exposed to the masses. We are a tight niche community and we really want people to know they are getting something unique and hand made. As we grow though we hope to raise quantities, but they will always be hand numbered

Squad Comic board design by: squad comic

$40 for a sweet original designed limited edition deck is a pretty sweet deal, How come you decided to make them so cheap?

It was basically for a few reasons, most importantly we didn’t want price to be a reason people couldn’t experience our brand or for people to be hesitant about ordering from us. Being a direct to consumer company as well, we wanted to take advantage of our margins and give it back to the consumer.

What are the plans for the future of Popdeck.com?

Right now we are just making our site and community better and better. We will constantly mold and improve the site. Also, expect a ton more special contest with great prizes and what not. We are also launching a gallery section, let people show off their pics and videos for prizes.

my blog: ppl
By: black_voodoo


I’m tired of being misunderstood, nerves are shot, weak – like old wood. I’m tired of being ill, no energy, can’t think, losing my skills.  I’m tired of trying to make things right, i give up – I surrender, no will to fight. I’m tired of seeing others in pain, raises frustration, drives me insane. I’m tired of not being able to cry, i’d melt away, nothing left inside. I’m tired because I can’t feel, walking in a daze – numb this can’t be real. I’m tired of being “strong,” i’m weak, i’m fragile, its gone on way to long. I don’t know what else to say, i’m hoping, i’m dreaming, i’m begging, i’m pleading, please, take this feeling away. Right now… I’m just tired… of everything maybe

....FOR FREEDOM!!!

 

 “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. –George Orwell

 

The year is 1913, Woodrow Wilson is president, and powerful banking interests, who have been trying for year, finally achieved their long term goal, of silently taking control of the American government.

     The first thing the did to accomplish their take over was convince secretary of state, Flan Denox, to lie to the American people, and tell them that the 16th amendment [Income Tax Amendment] had been legally ratified by the states when it was not. The bankers knew that this tax would ultimately end up in their pockets.

     Because of this fraud the American people were led to believe there was a tax on their labor. Congress and the President ARE completely aware of this fraud and it was cited in a recent court case:

 

“If you… examined [the 16th amendment] carefully, you would find that a sufficient number of states ratified that amendment.” -U.S. District Court Judge, James C. Fox, 2003

 

That very same year [1913] the bankers committed their second, and by far most diabolical fraud ever perpetrated on the American people, by bribing senators to pass the Federal Reserve Act, without the required Constitutional amendment. They did this during Christmas vacation, when many senators where home celebrating Christmas with their families.

     And that is how the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act came into being. They were very clever, and understood that who ever issued the money for America controlled the government.

 

“Give me control of a nations money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.” -Mayer Rothschild, Private Banker

 

President Wilson, who signed the Federal Reserve Act later said in regret:

“I’m a most unhappy man; I have unwittingly ruined my country a great industrial nation is now controlled by a system of credit. We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinions and duress of a small group of dominant men.” -Woodrow Wilson, 1919

 

How did America transform from being a truly free country with a servant government where our individual rights are protected by our Constitution, to being a country that talked about being free but really wasn’t?

     The change started when the Federal Reserve came into existence, and America adopted one of the major planks of the Communist Manifesto by creating for America this central bank.

     The very same people that back the Federal Reserve System also back the graduated income tax, a second plank from the Communist Manifesto.

     And now our Congress so dominated by the banks, is helping them entrap people even further by passing new Bankruptcy Laws making it more difficult for the people to declare bankruptcy and get a fresh start.

 

“Who controls money controls the world.” -Henry Kissinger, Council of Foreign Relations

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

*President Bush has signed executive orders give him sole authority to impose martial law and suspending Habeas Corpus. This gives him dictatorial power over the people without any checks or balances.

 

*The government can jail you for life without charges, without trial, and without a lawyer.

 

*Because of globalization the U.S. must accept other nations’ laws. Under the CAFTA treaty the sale of vitamins and supplements will be illegal.

 

*Executive Order# 10999: Allows the government to take over all modes of transportation.

 

*Executive Order# 11000: Allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

 

* Executive Order# 11921: Provides that the president can declare a state of emergency that is not defined and Congress cannot review the action for six months.

 

*Senate Bill# 1873: Allows the government to vaccinate you with untested vaccines against your will.

 

*The FDA says: Americans do not have a right to know which foods are genetically modified.

 

*Congressman Sensenbrenner’s Bill (HR1528): Requires you to spy on you neighbors including wearing a wire. Refusal would be punishable by a mandatory prison sentence of at least two years.

 

*The government claims the power to seize all financial interments: gold, silver, and everything else if they deem an emergence exists. –treasury department letter, Aug. 12, 2005

 

*There are 190 countries in the world; American has bases in 130 them.

 

The Patriot Act permits:

*Secret FBI and police searches of your home and office.

*Secret government wiretaps on you phone, computer and/or internet activity.

*Secret investigations of your bank record, credit cards and other financial records.

*Secret investigations of your library and book activities.

*Secret examinations of your metical, travel and business records.

*The freezing of funds and assets without prior notice or appeal.

*The creation of secret watch lists that ban those named from air and other travel.

 

“The Constitution is just a goddamn piece of paper.” -George W. Bush, Nov. 2005, Capitol Hill Blue

 

During the 1990’s President Clinton monitored millions of private phone calls placed by U.S. citizens. He did this under a secret program code named: Echelon. The wide spread use of wire tapping Americans during the Clinton administration proves that this practice was not started because of 9/11 but is standard procedure.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new legislation for the national ID card is in and takes three to for pages to describe. It will be connected to our driver’s licenses and Social security numbers. A physical ID such as finger prints or retinal print will be on it.

This law known as the Real ID Act takes effect in May 2008. Anyone with out a card will not be permitted to board an air plain, Amtrak train, open a bank account, or enter a federal building.

The bill mandates that all drivers’ licenses contain “common readable technology. A radio frequency identification (RFID) chip will be used.

 

 

“It is time to wake up America. Those ID cards are NOT about defeating terrorism, they are all about controlling the American people.” -Aaron Russo

 

The latest technology for identifying people when they make purchases is the implantable chip that can be directly imbedded into human flesh. Its tiny glass capsule is about the size if a grain if rice. It contains an RFID computer chip with a coiled antenna.

Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and others have expressed great interest in being able to more closely monitor the American people. And one way to do that would be to determine who buys what and where they take these things.

     Radio frequency can travel through walls, wood, the things we normally rely on to protect our privacy. For example your backpack, your pocket, anything you’re wearing or carrying.

     They were talking about having reader devices in every airport, on every bus, every train, on every port and every dock.

     One of the most worrisome applications of RFID is proposals to put in cash. Meaning that you’d be able to track every bank note, where it has been, who it has been issued to, and create an essence an audit trail that would essentially take away the anonymity of cash, that we enjoy today.

     The ATM machine itself, as the money came through the roller device, would be reading each number. And it would know who you are; of course you identify yourself at banks or ATMs. And the ATM would tag the number, and transfer the possession name from, say Bank of America to Joe Jones.

     Once every thing you do is tied down to a single number, and there is no longer the option to pay with cash, then all it takes to render you a non citizen is to simply turn you chip off. Then you won’t be able to participate in ant function in society, including buy food.  

     Through the implementation of the Federal Reserve System, the American citizen has gone from being a private individual who had real money, and gold in possession that was private, to a citizen who has no privacy because all money is now being digitized. They can deduct however amount of money they want out of your digits when ever they want, and they can trace you when ever they want. You’ll be at there mercy. God forbid we allow this to happen in America

    

“This is outrageous! I mean your talking about the government looking over your shoulder at absolutely everything you do, every purchase you make, every place you go, every company you interact with, would be recorded back to potentially the government.” -Katherine Albrecht, author of “Spy Chips”

 

Have we become so controlled and ignorant about our rights, that big institution and big governments can do whatever they want with us even with out our approval?

I know for certain that our founding fathers would resist to the death what is happening in America today. And I for one will not accept a national ID card. And if nobody accepts a national ID card, and nobody can board a plain without one, then let the airlines go bankrupt. And if you can’t open an account in a big national bank, then open one in a small local bank. And if we can’t walk into a federal building, I’d personally consider that a blessing.

Don’t allow these institutions to dictate to us how we conduct our lives. This is America, and we have free choice! We the people have the power not the government. The government gets its power from us, not the other way around.

Think of all the men and women that died in all our wars fighting for freedom, not Federal Reserve bankers. Do you think they sacrificed their lives so America could get chipped like a dog, so we can all have homing devices inside us? NO! This ID card is the last step before they implant us, and that is precisely the reason no one should accept one.

And you know what they’re going to do? They’re going to call in the propaganda machine, the media, and try to sell this RFID chip as if it was in everybody’s best interest.

 

“We shall have a world government whether or not we like it. The only question is whether the world government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” -Paul Warburg, architect of the Federal Reserve System, 1950

 

The central bankers of the world are working together to create a one world government. A global police sinister was the only thing George Orwell ever wrote about. Where every person on the planet Earth will have an RFID chip implant, where the bankers and the governments have access to every transaction you make.

A chip in every in everybody would be the universal monitory system, because there would be no escape from it.

Most people don’t have a clue that these unelected private bankers, actually control the governments of the world. They have actually financed and profited from ever war since World War I, without concern for humanity. The war in Iraq is an attempt by the Federal Reserve and their partner the Bank of England to control the middle east, and make it part of the new world order.

 

“Military men are just dumb stupid animals, to be used as pawn in foreign policies.” -Henry Kissinger

 

     The war on terrorism is the war on your freedom.

 

“The bankers own take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again. However, take away the power to create money, and all great fortunes like mine will disappear and ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in.

But if you wish to remain slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money.” - Sir Josiah Stamp, former director of the Bank of England

 

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years.

     It would have been impossible for us to develop our plans for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But now the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. The supra national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination, practiced in past centuries.” 

-David Rockefeller, private banker, council on foreign relations, June 1991

 

“The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes.” -Felix Frankfuter, U.S. Supreme Court Justice

 

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” -Henry Ford

 

     Now that you do understand what happened in 1913, and how it is leading to world government, the future depends on you. Will you choose freedom or slavery? Stop living in fear of your government. Government is the servant. We are the masters.

So what are you going to do about it? Join together in civil disobedience. Be willing to take part in nationwide strikes, boycotts, and marches on Washington. Force Congress to use their power to shut down the Federal Reserve. Government has authority to issue money, without paying interest to the bankers. This will take away the power to control our government from the bankers. Only vote for candidates who have signed an affidavit to shut down the Federal Reserve System and stop world government.

If you are in the military or law enforcement, remember you swore an oath to defend the American Constitution. You didn’t swear an oath to promote world government. Honor your Oath.

DONOT accept the national ID card, even if it’s your drivers’ license. We must demand that the American peoples gold be audited, and make certain that it has not been stolen. This asset must be returned to the American people.

Abolish computer voting in the state where you live. Stop being a good Democrat, stop being a good Republican, start being good Americans.

And when the media starts telling you that the country will fall apart if this is done, don’t be fooled. This is just the Federal Reserve trying to save itself. Squash it!

 

“I like the old idea, where you could do what you thought you could do and what you wanted to do as long as you didn’t hurt anyone.”

 -Ron Paul

 

If you believe in civil disobedience and wish to organize with millions of Americans in this battle for liberty, please sign up at freedomtofascism.com, and if you choose not to help, report to Central Services immediately and we will have you fitted for an RFID chip… for you own safety, of course.

 

”We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
-Benjamin Franklin, at the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, July 4, 1776

 Uninted we stand, Divided we fall.

Gun That Killed Goldsboro Boy Was Stolen Posted:
 
Jul. 24, 2007
 
 Goldsboro — Police on Tuesday said the handgun involved in the accidental shooting death of an 8-year-old boy last week was reported stolen a year ago. Andre Wilder and his 12-year-old brother found the .45-caliber gun in the woods near their home, police said. Andre was playing with it at the family's home on July 17, and the gun went off as his brother tried to take it away from him for his own protection, police said. Andre died later at Wayne Memorial Hospital from a single gunshot to his face. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives traced the gun to its former owner, who had reported last year that it was stolen from a vehicle parked outside a Wal-Mart in Goldsboro. Police said they haven't matched the gun to any crimes. Shenita Wilder-Dancy, the boys' mother, said people have been using the area around her rural home as a dumping ground. She said she believes Andre found the gun and thought it was a toy. No charges are expected to be filed in the case, police said.
 
This was my friends lil bro.... please pay some respect.

   Hello, we are Change Skateboards (Jeff Rae and James Denomme), created on a cold Windsor evening in the winter of 03. It was originally based out of there, but these days we’re up in Toronto. The goal we started with, and still really push for, is to do something different with skateboards on a local level. That’s pretty much the reason for the move up here, to really get to know people and the local shops.
 

Promo trailer for the upcoming Change film "Fireworks, Dancing and Cartwheels.
 
 
 Both of us strongly believe in North American made decks and wheels, for quality and political goodness. We also try to promote awareness of this and other issues. For example, we are releasing a board series soon focused solely on tree replanting to keep the North American woods and environment booming.

 As for this summer, our main focus is on “Fireworks, Dancing, and Cartwheels” (our first full video, not just a random selection of exciting activities). The release should be by late August, with promo parties in select cities (Toronto, Detroit, Windsor, Thunder Bay). Parts from all of our team riders will be featured, as well as clips from many of the friends we’ve met along the way. This summer will also mark our 4th year in business, and our 3rd annual Game of Skate Tour (keep your ears open). Last year in the Toronto tour stop at Adrift was great, and we’re pushing for a bigger turn out this year.

 The plan… We want to keep it going. There’s still tons to learn and we’re always looking to build on the success we’ve been able to grab hold of so far. Our main priorities are really simple; keep this fun, push it as far as possible, meeting new people, and of course skating.

 The Change team is Jesse Tessier, Hill Sulpher, Jesse Nymsel, Mitch Pryma, Dallas Ives, Kelley Hice, Chris Quick (film), and Dave Todon (photos).

   Check out the Change site CHANGESKATEBOADS.COM for news, team profiles, contact information, and links to supporting retailers. Thanks again to Lenny and everyone at SkateboardVillage for the opportunity to let the frequenters of this site know who we are, as well as all of our team riders (formal and informal), Chris Quick, Devin Guiney, Dave Todon, and everyone who is down.

My Blog: One Step Closer
By: bjones


On this road walks a teary eyed girl, who has been betrayed once more. This girl she walks longer and longer until her feet finally grow sore. She loved him way deep inside her tattered and torn little heart. But sometimes she wishes her life would have never even come to a start.
 
As she grows older she learns how much of a hell life can be. But she always wonders"Who would want to hurt someone like me?" She figured she could trust her new friend, FINALLY someone to listen to the story of her pain. But along with this was another betrayal to she was soon to gain.

This girl has constantly searched for someone to hold her tight and close. Someone who loved her to the very most. Finally her tears sunk into the hard cold ground. She is going nowhere, but secretly hopes she is homeward bound.
 
She keeps on walking, and lets out a loud cry. As she walks she remembers no one will ever be by her side. She still cries for the boy she once called her love. She always wishes she could be free, like a dove.

The most painful day of her life had already come and past. Now she just hopes her current "love" will last. Because if left alone and heartbroken ever again. There will be one less girl that any boy can call their girlfriend.

She closed up once before and shut all who loved her out. She changed into something she wasn’t, that's no doubt. Now she is clueless to why she is even alive. Love, was all she every really did strive.

Left violated, was she on that very clear day. She shut down, pushed the entire world away. She's sick and tired of losing those she holds close inside. No one will ever know how much she has really cried.

Tears every night they land on her soft pillow. But now in the daylight, only anger and pure strength will show. When will someone care enough to help this girl finally smile? She has given up for now; she knows it will be a while.

Does he really love her or was the entire past relationship a game? Now that she has a new boy, how the hell can she still feel the same? She
wonders now who she can really trust, maybe him? But one things for sure, she's sick of being known as the ex-girlfriend.

Walking across an old broken and wooden bridge, she lights a match with no concern. She tossed it back without looking back, she finally let the bridge burn. Another rough road she has finally won a battle over. Her final destination, its now one step closer

(yeah its another poem by me, it has relations to my life yes, but you have to read in between the lines so to speak to understand the real meaning...Some of you may take this as...it talking about you...well it does talk about people in this...and they are people among this very site.)

I am originaly from England, I first made a skateboard out of a peace of wood and half a roller skate, which I used on a incline near to a bus stop, the amount of times a bus went over it and I had to make a new one.
I moved to Grand Cayman in 1988 and since then I have joined the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service. My interest is making a difference in young peoples lives. To me thats what it is all about inspire them to keep out of trouble, it gives me less to do with them, however the job never stops.
In 2003 Mr. Mike Bell an Entrapreneur broke ground on a skatepark,nobody really knew how big it was going to be; was it going to be a bowl or a couple of humps to ride over (nobody knew). I use to go with my kids and the wife, Sean 3 years old then rode a big board on his knees, however he had no fear and rode down all the heavy ramps.His mother stopped going because she was scared to see what he was doing. Brian was 12 years old and he was learning the basics. Anyway the park continued to grow until one day that was it, it stood before us. If anybody comes to Black Pearl guranteed it takes your breath away. We have had Tony Hawke, Burnquist, Scheckler, Bam, Darin naveret, Sam Hitz, Pete Hewitt, Mark Appleyard, Steve Nesser, Dayone Song, Brian Patch, Patt Duffy, Jimmy The Greek, Steve Olson, and so many others including Mike Vaellely skate the park, THey are all impressed by what the park has, EVERYTHING>
During my time going to the park I did not realize what I had right in front of me; I am always trying to find ways to get through to kids. I once went to the boys home in Grand Cayman and I was having a difficult time getting through to them, so I mentioned skateboarding. They all suddenly changed from being nervouse to talking enthusiatic, I asked them if they would like a movie night they all agreed. The next week I took Sean and Brian and a pro skateboarder. the pro told them what he does for a living, where he is building a house (Brazil) and where in the world he has been. These kids were listening and we had there input also. We watched TWIGGS by Element and they were glued to their seats.
After the evening finished I asked them would thye like to visit Black Pearl, they all agreed. So the next Saturday we went and I had the kids at the park who skate help these non skaters, I was amazed to see them working together, I was satisfied when I saw the smile on their faces when they rode down a ramp with out falling. One kid was even trying fly outs and he had never been on a skateboard before.
The local Tv station and News Papers did a story on the event which to me was a great success.
After seeing the reaction of these kids I decided the best way to go on was to research building a ramp. I saved some money (a lot as things are expensive hear). And with the help of Mr. Philip Berry the mose respected skater at the park even the pro's show their respect as believe me he can skate street with the best. WE decided on a spott my back yard, Philip I must admit did most of the work as he knew exactly what he was doing. The ramp was completed and my kids skated it, I invited local kids round to the house and I gave boards to the ones who did not have their own. Some time after Lost Clothing came to the Island shooting a movie. I spoke to them showed them pictures of the ramp and it was set they would skate it. They came to the house and we had local kids there as well. At the time we had a trampoline and the kids (I Meen the pros) had a great time. Patt Duffy, Brian Patch, Jimmy The Greek and others showed off their moves, however the one who took the day was Juliana my daughter the skateboarding baby she was under 8 months old going up and down on the ramp. All this was on film later it was shown on Fuel TV, they even put me on the websight as the chief of police, I did say Sorry to the Boss.
The Cayman Compass did a big story which was good publicity for skateboarding.
Some time after Mike Vallely and Mark Jeremias came to Black Pearl to do a movie called DRIVE I spole to them and showed them picture of our ramp; which by the way has the best back drop THE CARIBBEAN OCEAN. And they both liked the idea of including the ramp, they also asked me if I could do an interview as they were intrigued to see a cop promoting skateboarding ( imagine a COP who skatebaords and supports it). ON the Saturday Mike V and Mark came to the house , he had a mini ramp session with the local kids and the skateboarding baby came out again and showed off her moves. The funny thing was Mark had to re do the shot so I put juliana on the board and she was going up and down and some body said something is wrong as her head went towards the board, she fell asleep and I caught her in my arms. Mike then Interviewed me in Full uniform on the ramp, it went pretty well, however it was really hot I got sunburn. The local media came to the house also and did there part to promote which was good.
Recently we had Addict skateboards doing some video footage for Havoc.com at the house. Packy who skates for addict, an amateur called Aryeh Kraus who works for a skate shop in Cali and Keith Johnson ( Aryeh did a DVD called RIGHT STATE OF MIND) if you can get that dvd you will be stoaked it is fantastic skateboard footage, I have never seen a manual that keeps going like the Energizer Bunny.
They came around and did there stuff. A couple of weeks ago I got a copy of DRIVE FIELD OF DREAMS from Mark and I made copies and shared it with Department of Tourism who told the UK office they got in touch with me and asked me to do a BIO and story about skateboarding. Local News Papers did a story, radio Cayman interviewed me. CITN local TV did a story and showed 45 seconds of Field Of Dreams, they bigged up MIke V, Mark, and FUEL TV.
A law enforcement association in the US have asked me to do a presentation on what I do with skateboarding. Concrete Wave also asked me to do a story Skateboarding From the point of view of a COP>
Field of Dreams came out on 8th April 2007 and has been shown regularly on Fuel TV. The show will aire also in May 2007 so if you have not seen it check it out.
Cayman Compass came to the house and did another story which was in the news paper on Tuesday April 17th 2007 it featured me the kids and also one of our friends who visits us with his parents from Colorado Alex Brunelle who skates the competition circuit in the US he is 14 years old and he is very good at skating.
 
So we have action in the Cayman Islands.
I am sharing this with you all as I do have a message to share. It does not matter how old you are,what colour you are , where your from,what sex you are, if you are religouse or not, the colours you wear. Skateboarding crosses boarders. Any kid who picks up a skateboard is a winner as they are following pioneers, people who sacrificed, Blood, Sweat, Broken Bones, to make the sport what it is today, nearly every TV programe has skateboarding in it so it is now main stream and getting bigger.I feel Bob Burnquist has paved the way for the Olympics as he carried the Olympic Torch on a skateboard through the streets of RIO.
I am doing my part to make a difference, do the same in your community.
I live on an Island 27 miles long and 8 miles wide I am making change in more ways than one, which is being heard around the world. Cayman is not even on some maps and yet the voice of one who has a dream is being heard. If you have seen Drive, Field of Dreams you have heard my passion, I intend to share this with others so they are inspired to do the same.It Takes ONE TO CHANGE.
Remember one thing Like the late BOB Marley said in song "ONE BLOOD" that is what we are so if you are one who does "HATE" STOP THE HATE!!! SKATE FOR LIFE !!! SKATE FOR CHANGE>

After our church service, we had lunch at Taco Bell.

After that, we went home and I went to the computer straight away...So here I am now, typing this...procrastinating...NOT GOOD...bad habit! MUST BREAK!

God is love.
 
God is fear.
 
God is always going to be here.
 
He forgave us for sin
 
All we need to do is let him in.
 
When he cleans us out.
 
The holy ghost will begen to sprout.
 
When we feel the love of god.
 
We find that sin makes us sick with-in.
 
This is my poem to god.
 
Now lets go get the word out about him.
 
 
 
 
Once upon a mountain top, three little trees stood and dreamed of 
what they wanted to become when they grew up. The first little tree 
looked up at the stars and said," I want to hold treasure. I want to be 
covered with gold and filled with precious stones. I'll be the most 
beautiful treasure chest in the world!" 
The second little tree looked out at the small stream trickling by 
on it's way to the ocean." I want to be traveling mighty waters and 
carrying powerful kings. I'll be the strongest ship in the world!" 
The third little tree looked down into the valley below where busy 
men and women worked in a busy town." I don't want to leave the mountain 
top at all. I want to grow so tall that when people stop to look at me, 
they'll raise their eyes to heaven and think of God. I will be the 
tallest tree in the world!" 
Years passed. The rain came, the sun shone and the little trees 
grew tall. One day three woodcutters climbed the mountain. The first 
woodcutter looked at the first tree and said," This tree is beautiful. It 
is perfect for me. "With a swoop of his shining ax, the first tree fell. 
"Now I shall be made into a beautiful chest, I shall hold wonderful 
treasure!" the first tree said. The second woodcutter looked at the 
second tree and said,
"This tree is strong. It is perfect for me." With a swoop of his 
shining axe, the second tree fell. 
"Now I shall sail mighty waters!" thought the second tree." I 
shall be a strong ship for mighty kings!" 
The third tree felt her heart sink when the last woodcutter 
looked her way. She stood straight and tall and pointed bravely to 
heaven. But the woodcutter never even looked up. 
"Any kind of tree will do for me." He muttered. With a swoop of 
his shining axe, the third tree fell. 
The first tree rejoiced when the woodcutter brought her to a 
carpenter's shop. But the carpenter fashioned the tree into a feedbox 
for animals. The once beautiful tree was not covered with gold nor with 
treasure. She was coated with saw dust and filled with hay for hungry 
farm animals. The second tree smiled when the woodcutter took her to a 
shipyard, but no mighty sailing ship was made that day. Instead the once 
strong tree was hammered and sawed into a simple fishing boat. She was 
too small and too weak to sail to an ocean, or even a river; instead she 
was taken to a little lake. The third tree
was confused when the woodcutter cut her into strong beams and left her 
in a lumberyard 
"What happened?" The once tall tree wondered. 
"All I ever wanted was to stay on the mountain top and point to 
God..."
Many, many days and nights passed. The three trees nearly 
forgot their dreams. But one night, golden starlight poured over the 
first tree as a young woman placed newborn baby in the feedbox. 
"I wish I could make a cradle for him." 
her husband whispered. The mother squeezed his hand and smiled as the
starlight shone on the smooth and sturdy wood. 
"This manger is beautiful." She said. And suddenly the first 
tree knew he was holding the greatest treasure in the world. One evening 
a tired traveler and his friends crowded into the old fishing boat. The 
traveler fell asleep as the second tree quietly sailed out
into the lake. Soon a thundering and thrashing storm arose. The little 
tree shuddered. She knew she did not have the strength to carry so many 
passengers safely through with the wind and the rain. The tired man 
awakened. He stood up, stretched out his hand and said," Peace." 
The storm stopped as quickly as it had begun. And suddenly, the second 
tree knew he was carrying the king of heaven and earth. One Friday 
morning, the third tree was startled when her beams were yanked from the 
forgotten woodpile. She flinched as she was carried through an angry 
jeering crowd. She shuddered when soldiers nailed a man's hand to her. 
She felt ugly and harsh and cruel. But on Sunday morning, when the sun 
rose and the earth trembled with joy beneath her, the third tree knew 
that God's love had changed everything. It had made the third tree 
strong. And, every time people thought of the third tree, they would 
think of God. That was better than being the tallest tree in the world. 
So next time you feel down because you didn't get
what you wanted, just sit tight and be happy because God is thinking of 
something better to give you.

Police and Fire, March 13, 2007

Story created Mar 13, 2007 - 13:57:44 EDT.

Felonious assault

KINROSS - A shot fired inside a Chippewa County home brought Kinross Public Safety and a specialized Michigan State Police unit to a Woodlake Road residence late Monday evening.

According to the most preliminary of reports, a male discharged a firearm inside the residence. Although it does not appear as though he was attempting to shoot anyone at the time, a female inside the structure felt threatened and fled the scene unharmed.

Authorities attempted to engage the man following the 10:30 p.m. incident, but he was apparently reluctant to come out to discuss the matter. Michigan State Police dispatched their version of S.W.A.T. to the scene during the standoff.

The man eventually gave himself up at approximately 7 a.m. today and was taken into custody without incident.

 

The unidentified individual was being booked into the Chippewa County Jail on a felonious assault charge at press time
