I Hate Cold Rainy Days

Well it has been raining for the past couple of days of spring break and it is raining today......i hate the rain and when it's cold and wet. I like the snow, but i just hate rain. I wanted to skate yesterday and the day before but i couldn't because it started to rain, I love skating with Ian even though i am nothing at skating compared to him but it is still fun to do. I usually skate everyday. We get kicked out of the bank all the time and we never cause any problems, but the wonderful people at the church always find something to complain about and call the cops. There is absolutely no where to skate in Coshocton, Ohio being a street skater, even if we didn't get kicked out of the bank it still is boring there. We need a street skate park and it NEEDS TO STOP RAINING!!!!!!!! Well i am gonna stop complaining about my problems now and see what everyone has to say.

Custom-Built Curriculum

Peoria Unified School District 11 was in for a rude awakening in summer of 2003 when they received the results to the (AIMS) Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards when only 20% of the eighth grade students passed the math portion. they needed to find another way to teach the curriculum. They determined the textbooks did not match state standards. So they started building lessons from the ground up. They used grant monies to pay teachers to work Saturdays and summers to develop curriculum materials more close to the state standards. As a result of the new curriculum, on the 2006 AIMS test: 79% of all Peoria students passed the math portion of the exam, the eighth graders nearly improved 300%.

Get Sponsored

When you get sponsored in skateboarding you want it to be a company of your choice. All companies have their pros and cons though. You just have to pick what is best for you. You have to think of a company that has your favorite type of board. When getting sponsored you need to start off small, get sponsored by a local shop or a local restaurant. Then you can start making your way to the top. At one point you will need to contact someone at the company you have chosen to get sponsored by. It would be a good idea to put together a video and write your bio. Other than that it is determination and enthusiasm. For more information on how to get sponsored go to this article on getting sponsored.

Coshocton to get $2.7M stimulus for Ohio 16

In the Coshocton Tribune it talks about how Coshocton, Guernsey and Muskingum counties are going to recieve a federal stimulus check for funding of transportation of about 16.2 million. 2.7 million of that is going to Coshocton. They are projecting that this stimulus will create 21,257 jobs. District 5 is going to use that 2.7 million for the resurfacing 10 miles of Ohio 16. I think this is very good for Coshocton county because not only does it repair Ohio 16 but it creates more jobs and will help the economy.

RROD!!!!

The Xbox 360 red ring of death is a terrible hardware failure the Xbox 360 console experiences. If you are experiencing the red ring of death there is hope.....you can either send it in to Microsoft and wait 4-6 weeks or try the number of remedies on how to fix it without opening the console. Unfortunately those remedies do horrible damage to your console. Do not use the towel trick, it only lasts for a week and does significant damage to your console. If you do not have warranty you need to take your x-clamps off and put new thermal paste on the GPU and CPU, overheat and tighten bolts. Use one of these instructional websites for assistance. www.x-clamp-fix.com/catalog/product_info.php?info=p5_X-Clamp-Fix-DIY-Kit.htm,
