Ever since I was a kid, our family spent Christmas Day at home. Dad would take the time to play with us as long as he wasn’t on duty or on some assignment for the Marine Corps. I think he liked playing with the toys more than I did. I remember an electric train set that we put together. At the time, I thought it was one of the coolest toys because it blew smoke and unloaded logs. After playing with it for several hours, I remember lying in bed and falling asleep while Dad was still full-on playing with the train. For as long as I can remember, spending time with family has been one of my favorite things about Christmas. Another thing is that it seems like everyone one is in good spirits, greeting each other more warmly than any other time of year.

Believe it or not, fried chicken is often eaten on Christmas Day. It is the busiest time of year for KFC. The traditional Japanese Christmas dessert is a light and fluffy strawberry shortcake.

Pyzel may have won Dane Reynold's vote, but the people are rallying behind Matt “Mayhem” Biolos. Just as Sir Donnie T won the Electoral College: 290-232, according to New York Times, Clinton by the time the ballots are counted in full, is “likely to be ahead by more than two million votes.” And it's silly to draw comparisons between our board test with Dane Reynolds and the US presidential election is. However, according to Stab readers, Dane looked better on Mayhem's by 11.37 percent of the polling pool. According to the popular vote, Matt “Mayhem” Biolos would be the Stab in the Dark winner. If you're sick of polls, politics and protests go ahead and revisit Dane riding Mayhem’s.

Yes, they are made overseas, in a factory run by Japanese board builders who pay close attention to the smallest of details. It’s amazing how much time goes into building a single board. One of the first of many steps is that they make their own EPS foam, and then insert a T-shaped stringer. The stringer is strategically placed to keep the center of the board ridged and the nose and tail Flexable. The next step is to glass the EPS foam with a 6oz cloth on the bottom and top, and then to encase it with PVC. They let this cure precision mold form the rocker of the board. This process will produce the exact same rocker as the original, tested board.

We have been carrying the Core Balance ion bracelet at Hawaiian South Shore for a number of years, and are pleasantly surprised by all of the people who stop by to tell us how well the bracelets work for them. The product has a lot of advocates, including a number of Hawaiian South Shore regulars who have seen direct health bene@its from wearing them. One of our clients brought her elderly mother in looking for a Core Balance bracelet, as she suffers from vertigo and had been leant a bracelet by her driver. The effects were so bene@icial that when she had to return the bracelet to the man who had loaned it to her, she immediately went out to @ind one of her own! We were happy to point her in the right direction and get her @itted with one that matched the style she was going for!
