Quarter 2 Post 4

Heath and Deborah Campbell tried to order a cake from a supermarket in new jersey and the store refused to put their 3 year old son's full name on the cake. They named their son Adolf Hitler Campbell. Heath wanted to name his kid that because he is german and because nobody else in the world would have that name. The supermarket says they have the right not to put stuff on a cake that they deem innapropriate and that in the past the couple had requested cakes with their sons name on it and one time they even asked for a swastika. Heath also wears a pair of black boots that were a german soldiers in world war II. He says that he would never raise his son to do what hitler did and that he was raised to think that people of other races are perfectly fine but not to mix with them socially or romantically and that he is going to raise his children better. They ended up getting the cake at a walmart and had 12 children for hitler's birthday and some of them were of other races. he says that if hes racist why would he have them in his home. all of his children have wierd names, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns 2 in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be 1 in April.

there was this guy from italy and he rows boats so he went to peru and tried to row all the way to Australia. he took 10 months rowing 9500 nautical miles across the pacific. when he was 65 nautical miles away from the coast of Laurieton, Australia. He lived off of dried foods and dessalinated ocean water. He had a small cooker to fry fish and boil water for pasta. He's not thef irst person to cross the pacific ocean in a rowboat by themselves. He also crossed the Meditarranean and atlantic. He was reallly close to australia when the weather started getting really bad. he used all of his energy fighting winds for a few days and then called his wife form his satellite phone telling her that he wasn't going to finish and he was done. She called the coast guard who went and got him. t hey towed him in to Newcastle where he reunited with his wife. He's not sure if his trip is the longest solo journey. He doesn't plan on going anywhere again soon. Right now he plans on going back home and relaxing.

Transworld Snowboarding
Interview with Zac Marben

Hyland Hills. Not the place you think of when you go to look for the next big snowboarder. But lately it seems like more and more you can show up at Hyland and see that guy from Transworld, right there in the park! Zac Marben grew up in Eden Prarie riding ice at hyland, now he's one of 12 riders featured in Transworld Snowboarding's Interview Issue. The 12 riders referred to as "a flood of fresh talent" and "a cross-section of that new blood and raw energy". It's nice to know that becoming a pro snowboarder isn't just something that happens to rich kids in the mountains anymore. Zac gets to travel all around the world, snowboarding year round. He doesn't like to ride at contests, so he films. To him his job is rarely a job. Occasionally he has to do some crazy trick or go somewhere he doesn't want to to get the right shot for the next video or photo. Zac not only gets paid for doing what he loves, he also learns a lot of life lessons. He says snowboardings taught him how to be patient, deal with dumb people, treat his friends, live his life. Stuff like that must be hard not to learn when your job depends on perfect weather, living with friends in close quarters for extended periods of time, and I'm sure there have been lots of cops that get mad at him for riding where he's not sposed to. Zac loves what he does because its an adventure and he never knows what's coming next.
