Saved By the Bell Cast - Where are they now?







Hey, hey, hey. *What* is going *on* here? You may recognize this from none other than Mr. Belding. The Saved By the Bell principal had a sweet yet stern side back when he was at Bayside, but where is he now? And what are all the other cast members up to?
Let's begin with my favorite, Zack Morris. He ruled the school at Bayside with his oh so charming ways. But his life after Saved by the Bell went a little...eh. He has had roles from NYPD Blue, Commander in Chief, and Raising the Bar, but nothing really special. Girls, just remember him as the blonde haired hottie who sometimes tried a little too hard.
And then there's Kelly Kapowski. The target of Zack's attention. I'm sure we all remember her as the sweet and innocent cheerleader, don't be fooled. Since SBB, she has become quite a bit more racy in photo shoots, ahem, and in her role in 90210.
Screech Screech Screech... the lovable nerd. Well, he's not so lovable anymore. In fact he's obnoxious and creepy now. He has starred a few unmentionables and tried to lose a few pounds during his experience on Clebrity Fit Club. It DIDn't work.
Then you have the "Screech Hater", Lisa. After Saved by the Bell she made guest appearances on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Star Trek. For all you nerdy Star Trek enthusiasts, like Mrs. Diaz, I'll give you the specific episode Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Jessie - the nagging feminist. She may have won the affection of Slater, but she just got on my nerves. I mean, geez. However, to no suprise at all, in real life she is quite the feminist. Apparently she doesn't mind shedding most her clothes in roles like "Showgirls". Need I say anything else? Soon she may be starring on MTV.
And then there's Slater. Gorgeous, muscular, hunky... (um) Slater. He now is the hist of America's Best Dance Crew. He is also the new host of Extra and relishes the title of "Hottest Bachelor". Big suprise.
So there ya go. That's where our impressionable Saved by the Bell cast is now! Not very impressing huh? Sawee.

Buried Treasure - Paper Planes - Project Rescue

A jobless man on welfare found treasure worth millions. He bought a used metal detector for 6 dollars and used it to find the treasure in central Enland. It is the greatest Anglo Saxon treasure discovery ever. Terry Hebert found 11 pounds of gold and 5 pounds of silver. He will split the profit 50-50 with the land owner of the field in which the treasure was found.

A young boy takes flying paper planes very seriously! He exercizes everyday to build up his arm muscles. He hopes to go to Japan to break the record - 17 seconds. He also hopes to be an ispiration to other children.

The purpose is to provide a safe haven for women and children who have been victims of human trafficking. It helps the victims spiritually, emotionally, and physically to heal while ministering to them. We can raise awareness of sexual trafficking and donate money.

Global Issues

Better World Books is a [for-profit[ social enterprise that collects used books and sells them online to raise money for literacy initiatives worldwide. They offer great bargains on used books - over 6 million used and new titles. When you buy used books, you save them from landfill and conserve resources.

Lisa Ling found support through Facebook. Her sister, Laura Ling, was captured in North Korea with Euna Lee. Many people on Facebook reached out to Lisa and showed her optism through her tough time. Her story was shown on Oprah...of course!

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore made a New Year's resolution to get "in front" of one specific cause. This cause is to be abolitionists for 21st century slavery and human trafficking. They will back up Barak Obama towards the same goal. They are doing a great thing and will strive to get rid of sexual exploitation in children.

Toms shoes was founded for one goal: to give children without a pair of shoes. For every pair of shoes purchased, a pair is given to a child in need. Blake Mycoskie founded TOMS shoes in 2006. TOMS has given over 140,000 pairs of shoes.
They plan on giving around 300,000 in 2009 alone. I think TOMs choes is a great organization. I plan on purchasing some one day soon hopefully. The Press link tells of major magazines and press that support or have advertised TOMs shoes.

Fema

Hurricane House: It educates them on potentially dangerous situations during a hurricane. No. It was educational, but not enough. A longer, more detailed game should be created. Then it would help kids along the Gulf Coast better.

Disaster Maze: It would educate them on what to do after or during a hurricane. No. This game wasn't good enough either. They need to make more fun, detailed games to catch the attention of rambunctious kids.

Edheads

Brain Surgery : The brain surgery was soo cool. It was a little gross. But I really liked how it was pretty realistic. The pictures of real surgeries were disgusting. That made my stomach a wittle queasy. Overall, I think the brain surgery was one of the best!

Crash Scene: I'm not even gonna lie - the crash scene was borrrringg. It was terrible compared to the brain surgery. It was realistic too but it didn't keep my atttention. I didn't like the crash scene.

Cell Phone: The cell phone was pretty cool. I liked hearing the stuff the old people said. Haha. Designing the cell phone was easy. The sweaty, business man with money coming out of his pockets was a nice jab. Overall, I liked it.

Virtual Hip Resurfacing: This is just as cool as the brain surgery. It is gross too. So far it's my second favorite. The pictures weren't quite as bad as the brain surgery pictures.

The Odd Machine: It was interesting to say the least. I helped the robot find his plunger. :) I liked this one. It reminded me of Mr. Moland and physics. Haha

Virtual Knee Replacement: This was cool. Once again, the pictures = disgusting! This one was easy.

Weather: Reporting the weather was alright. It wasn't that exciting. Level three was basically just as simple as level one. Predicting the weather took a little more brain power. I liked it better.

Simple Machines: This was the second boring activity. It was 5th grade logic. I didn't like this one. It was too easy and not interesting enough.

That's Crazy!

Warsaw - A man was bruised but alive after something rather large fell on top of him while he was strolling down an avenue. This "something" was a 110 pound St. Bernard that had fallen out of a two story window! No worries though. The one year old dog named Oscar is fine. "The dog had a soft landing because it fell on a man," said police spokesperson Wierzbicki. "The dog escaped with just a few scratches. The man was also more in a psychological state of shock then physically hurt."

Amsterdam - Two nuns chased a suspected thief through the streets of Amsterdam. What makes this even crazier is that the Dutch nuns were on bikes! One Saturday evening, one of the sisters believed to see a man walking past their chapel as a thief who snatched hundreds of dollars in cash from the chapel two weeks earlier. The nuns called the police but before the police could arrive, the thief realized something was up and fled on a bike. The nuns followed in pursuit. The suspected thief managed to escape into a neighborhood and got away. Police hunted for the man but could not find him.

Berlin - A 68 year old man had to survive on just a packet of cookies while he was stuck in an elevator for 3 days! Karlheinz Schmidt was going to the hospital for a routine appointment. When he realized something was wrong with the elevator, Schmidt repeatedly pushed the alarm button and called for help. Unfortunately, no one heard his call until the third day when a nurse reported the broken lift. He was found pale and weak but thankfully alive. What's ironic is that Schmidt was a former elevator repairman.

Rollin' at Rocco's

I strolled into Rocco's utterly shocked and impressed. You see, I previously thought - "A po-boy restaurant, well this will be a plain, drab, and a mediocre place to eat at". Wow was I wrong! Everything at Rocco's was impressive. It was LSU themed with booths, tables, and high bars. Outside were many tables under umbrellas. I realized how open and bright the restaurant was. It seemed as though you were sitting outside because of the huge storefront windows.
I grabbed a menu and walked into the order line. While I was deciding on my order, I noticed how catchy the menu titles were. The "Where Y'at" pizza, the "Cat Daddy Fish" seafood po-boy, and the "French Quarter Fry" specialty po-boy were just a few that caught my eye. I quickly chose my order, the seafood muffalatta, and returned to my table. I glanced up at one of the five flatscreen TV's to hold my attention while I waited for my order. To my delight however, my food was ready in no time!
Stunned at how fast and polite the service was, I rested my eyes upon my tempting muffalatta sandwhiched between New Orleans French bread. After the first bite I knew I would be returning to Rocco's! The shrimp was so tasty, and the catfish was so fresh! Then my eyes glanced straight towards my friend's plate. He had the "Nikki the Eyes Oyster" po-boy. I, of course, had to try this po-boy. It, to no suprise at all, was amazing! I immediately knew what I would be ordering the next time I came - the oyster po-boy!
Yet another thing that stood out to me was the service. The cashier had that "you can have it your way" attitude that we all love and enjoy. The waiter frequently made sure that our drinks were fresh and that we were content. Most importantly to me however, was the interaction between the manager and the customers. I noticed that he went to every table, making sure everyone was happy and enjoying their meal, including us.
So, if you're in the mood for some delicious New Orleans style po-boys, fried pickles, crawfish etouffee, salads, burgers, pizzas, etc.., go to Rocco's! As Mr. Rocco says himself, "Just think of our po-boy as the big bully on the sandwhich playground." Are you convinced yet? You should be! For those who need a little more convincing, read what other customers had to say about Rocco's:

"I thought my food was great. I loved the bread. Service was good, no complaints. The atmosphere is open and airy." - Dan

"I got the Sonny's Shrimp Po-boy. It was really good. I loved the fries." - Josh

"The atmosphere is very comfortable. Service is really quick!" - Allison

"The turkey po-boy was pretty delicious. Cheese fries were scrumptious!" - Lacey

"I enjoyed my salad. I'm definitely coming back to try the fried pickles!" - Freda

"I got the Sonny's Shrimp Po-boy. It was really good, I enjoyed it. Everyone here is nice, well-mannered, and polite. We're definitely coming back!" - Paula

"The service was great. I didn't have to wait long at all for my order. The oyster po-boy was delicious. Oysters - fried to perfection." - Danny

So there you go! Try out Rocco's! It's reasonably priced (7 to 14 dollars a po-boy). Rocco's is located in Zachary off of Church Street, next to Sammy's Bar and Grill.
