This is a short post which will expand over time and contain addition tips and advice for tracking down stolen bikes.
Reporting & Tracking Stolen Bikes
Report the theft to the Police
On the one hand, the chances of getting a bike back are not that good, on the other hand the Police Departments collect so many stolen bikes and most of them can't be traced back to the original owners. It may cost time and you probably wont attract much sympathy however by reporting the theft to the Police you have a better chance of getting the bike returned if it is found (how can they return it if they don't know that it is stolen).
If more bike owners reported the theft then bicycle theft would have an higher priority and importance with the police meaning they invest more resources into solving this problem.
Report the theft to the insurance company if you are covered.
It is always good to know if your bike is covered and in which circumstances. Unless you take special note when getting insurance you may often find that there are special rules and regulations regarding when your bike may be covered and when it is not. Depending on your insurance cover, bikes may need to be insured separately.
Report the theft to local cycling groups
Particularly if the bike can be well recognised, put a message up at local bike clubs and bike meeting points plus get the message out to others who may come across should it reappear in public
Being a detective
Pawn Shops: While a stolen bike should never end up at a Pawn shop - it still happens. While the chances are poor that you will find your stolen bike at your local Pawn Shop - there is no harm checking and while your at it, let the store owner know you are on the look out for your bike. The real effect of this is that Pawn Shop owners become more aware of taking on items that could be stolen.
Ebay and Co.: While a thief is extremely stupid trying to sell a stolen bike online, let's remember that they are a thief because they are too stupid and lazy earn an honest wage. If you notice that a stolen bike is offered for sale - contact the site administrators and the police.
Classifieds: As with ebay, following the classifieds is a slim chance however you never know.
Preventing Theft
• Avoid locking your bike up in public places when possible. Overnight can be a bad idea. Safest is indoors in your workplace and house.
• Private car parks and back lanes are not necessarily better - although it is les public, thieves have more cover and can come and go without being noticed.
This is not certified info however there are generally two types of bicycle thieves:
The Opportunity Thief will find your bike by chance and take the opportunity of stealing it. Perhaps they live in the neighbourhood or are passing through. These thieves may try and sell to a friend or ride the bike themself.
The Organised Criminal has better bike knowledge and will often target more expensive bikes. Sometimes bike events may be targeted or locations which bike riders frequent. These bikes are often transported out of town, sometimes interstate and are resold. Sometimes parts are changed to make distinguished bikes less recognisable.
• Use more than one lock when possible - a super heavy duty lock (eg Kryptonite) and a lighter lock. The more difficult and time consuming it is for the thief, the better the deterant.
• Take off the front wheels and lock them with the frame and back wheels, particularly if you have quick release skewers.
• Always thread the lock through the frame (How often do I see bikes with just the front wheel locked)
• When possible, try and lock up as tight as possible so there is not much play in the lock - less leverage and more difficult to break.
• If your bike looks like the most difficult bike in the bunch to steal then this encourage the criminal to choose another bike.
• Always lock the bike up to something that can't be easily moved or dismantled. A common error is drain pipes which can often be dismantled per hand or temporary signage where the bike can be lifted up and then removed).
Here is a good online video that provides useful info for locking your bike.
• Insurance is a good idea especially if you need to lock up your bike outdoors.
• Bike insurance is often available as an extra option with normal house and contents insurance, often the major cycling bodies in each state also offer good value bicycle insurance.
• There is insurance available just for bicycles including Cycle Cover and Velosure.
Bicycle Identification
• Etch a security number into the bike. Often this is done using an engraver and adding a security number underneath the bottom bracket. It is also a tell-tale sign of a stolen bike if the bottom bracket has been 'shaved' to remove the identification code.
• A laminated card with your name and contact details can be rolled up and inserted in the seat tube, bars, seat post or steerer tube so that if it is stolen and you see it on the street or in a pawn shop you can easily identify it.
• Take a note of your bike serial number, unique details and make a photo
• Personalise the bike with features that are unique to your bike (eg stickers and parts).
• With the Datadot DNA Kit your bike is marked with laser etched uniquly identified tags and UV reactive glue that is virtually invisible to the naked eye though is visible with a UV light.
• mybikeREGO is the Australian version of the UK Bike Revolution concept. You can register your bikes in the database for free - as a form of recording your bike info and there are also paid plans which include Pulse ID tags (QR stickers for the bike) that make it easier to track and identify you as the owner should a bike be stolen. The mybikeREGO concept has some differences to the UK Bike Revolution concept - for the record, further details are here: Bike Revolution.
Anything Else
• If your bicycle is really expensive - seriously consider whether it makes sense to lock it up in public. Is it possible to buy a cheaper commuter bike? I have a city bike just for riding in the city and is not my most expensive bike.
• Scruffing up a bike and coating it with stickers can make a good frame look ordinary however is not a guarantee that it a thief wont recognise it for a good bike.
• Making your bike unique - The more individual your bike it - even just cosmetic changes, the easier it is to notice.

Tara: She is very sweet and loves to snuggle.. like alot. Like if i sit, shes climbing on top of me and the computer or schoolbooks to get to me to snuggle.its usually her and her "night night blanket". Shes figured out how to reach into the crib to get it, so she drags it constantly, Its white too.. so clorox is my friend! lol. Im hoping its her hearing as well.. although shes beginning to mimic what we say (in her own sounds) and do. Good signs! But shes also seeming frustrated like she did when she was a newborn and couldnt move around but wanted to. she screamed constantly..and shes now whining constantly.
Gina: She doesn't say anything at all. Random sounds here and there of different vowels and consonants..but no words. Her dad has bad ears, so thats why they are worried. Chris had to have a new eardrum grafted from skin on his head when he was young because it corroded away due to a bacteria. Now his other eardrum is gone and looking like his other one is going again as well. But shes never said anything, and they worry when they are 16 months and have no spoken words. I swear she said ugh oh one time when she dropped a toy in the bath, but shes never said it again and that was months ago.
Alix: Like i said to Gina, its probably her hearing, but she has some odd habits that also raise flags for autism..its killer waiting, but nothing else i can do. I've waited for 9 months to get to even see her, then waited another 9 to see her walk, and 16.5 to see her talk.. I think we can wait out another month to know whats up. Layla was 6lbs at 33 weeks, they told me I could expect her to be 8 or more lbs by the time I went into labor.. I was really worried about that. She was 7lbs 14oz at birth and 19.5 inches long. I pushed her out with not too much fan fare (but lots of hemmoroids.. ouch). It depends on your pelvis and position of bryce and etc. Not his weight. I was super glad I wasn't Chris' ex wife.. JD was over 9lbs at birth. The thought of that makes me cringe, but at the same time, the only part that hurt about pushing Layla out was she tore me up by my urethra. with the epidural I still felt that part. I say epidural epidural epidural..
Well, I have some assignments to work on for spanish, and I really want to soak in a nice warm bath while layla naps and enjoy some coffee and classical music.. so I am off to sneak that in.. I really need to clean up the house some, but i can do that (somewhat) while bug is awake .. I can't relax in a hot bath while she is
Alix- My neck is an old injury from a car accident about 11 years ago. It still often causes problems. My neck gets super tight with lots of knots and causes headaches. Glad you are trying to stay off your feet as much as possible. Yay for crocheting! I know I get pretty sleepy sometimes when I'm knitting from the repetition.
Brie- Ahhh sweet sweet baby! It's amazing how they figure out how to get what they want. Funny how pretty much all kids have that security item such as her night night blanket. The mimicking is good! Good luck on your spanish homework! Hope you get your bath and coffee that sounds relaxing!

Wow, I am sorry I've been MIA for a while Just doing lots of baby making and working. I'm on my 2ww and should be testing next week. I am not temping or anything, just having sex every other day and every day on the weekends. I had some SERIOUS pain on saturday night. I felt like my ovaries were about to blow up for about 30 minutes and then it went away. I don't know If it was gas, cysts, or maybe implantation. Who knows...we'll just have to wait and see.
Simone- Hope things are alright!
Alexx- Fingers crossed for you! I hope that was ovulation pain and not a cyst. I have always hated the 2WW it's tough.
AFM- Just working. Not a whole lot new here to report.

Women's Fuse-ion
http://www.teva.co.uk/1000268.htmlWe spend an awful lot of time around people that live for adventure. When we asked them for the biggest problem with high-performance shoes, we kept hearing the same one: "I can't wear them to the bar." So, what'd we do? We designed a shoe that they would gladly wear to the bar, then we figured out a way to make it the highest performing water shoe we have ever built. No big deal.
With Ion-Mask technology to keep your shoes dry and a Jstep and Spider Rubber outsole that will stick to a grease-covered aluminum ramp (true story), wet rocks and slick bar floors shouldn't be a problem.

Additional Information
Spider Rubber® + JStep®
Our Spider Rubber + JStep outsole may be the grippiest sole we've ever made, which is saying something, considering we made our reputation sticking to wet rocks.
ion-mask,™ technology by P2i, the world leader in liquid repellent nano-coating technology, falls into the category of what we call "magic tech." Imagine a process that allows you to make an object water repellent on a nanoscale, meaning that its very fibers repel water. It sounds like sci-fi, but that's what ion-mask™ does to our shoes.
- Our Spider Rubber + JStep outsole will stick to a grease-covered aluminum ramp (true story). Wet rocks shouldn't be a problem.
- Drain Frame™ sheds water like a sieve, keeping your sandals dry and light

I am very pleased with my shoes!
Keep making lovely shoes Teva, i am a very happy costumer!

The links I mentioned earlier all lead to Next Door Studios so, just for the hell of it, I will be keeping an eye on Next Door Twink and Next Door Buddies to see if anything drops !
he's the kind of guy that makes u thirst for it
He's definitely beautiful! I personally think he's one of the hottest guys in porn right now. I keep anxiously waiting to see him bottom as he has a great butt! Sorry, I can't help myself from ranting about Alex
I understand and I agree. He loves getting a rim job on that gorgeous butt too. Every time I watch a scene with all that anal foreplay I keep hoping they take the plunge but they never do
Well it sounds like he'll get fucked fairly soon... I hope!
I think we're going to get our wish ! As it turns out, those links on the tube sites are for upcoming scenes and some of those scenes are beginning to show up on the Next Door sites under "UPCOMING UPDATES". I didn't realize it but NDS currently has trailers for upcoming scenes that are being released over the next 5 weeks. There isn't any information on Alex yet but the 2 guys he's supposedly bottoming for (Bradley Hudson and Chad Logan) have shown up in other future scenes that are also linked on the tube sites. For example, there are preview trailers that show Bradley Hudson fucking Jimmy Clay and Chad Logan fucking Austin Merrick. Each NDS site allows you to see its upcoming updates but you can see them all grouped together in one place at Next Door World. You can just go to NDW's home page and click on UPDATES and then go over to the right side of the UPDATES page. Click the "Sort By" drop-down menu and select UPCOMING UPDATES. You can view the trailers by clicking on "watch scene". Interestingly enough, There's only one scene under Next Door Twink for the month of July (things that make you go "hmmmm"). So, if the big scene doesn't drop on NDT in July, we'll be waiting for a minute. I'm not a big fan of Next Door but I'd be willing to hand my money over to ANY site that makes this happen ! Alex Waters holds the #1 spot on my CHERRY POP LIST !
Guys, DYLANLUCAS.COM JUST LAUNCHED WITH BOTH OF ALEX WATERS' BOTTOMING SCENES!!!
It's Dylanlucas.com (DYLAN LUCAS). Maybe you're just misspelling it. I think it's going to be a great site. When you join, you get free access to the Next Door exclusive sites (Samuel O'Toole, Marcus Mojo, etc.) The site also contains bottoming scenes by Austin Merrick and Lance Alexander. There are only 15 scenes right now but it looks promising. My favorite thing about the site so far is that all of the models appear to be versatile with Alex Waters being an exclusive! All of the models look like guys I wouldn't mind watching over and over.
Luv? What do you think? I'll wait till I hear. Though I really want to see him bottom...

I joined Dylan Lucas just now, primarily for Lance Alexander, who is the hottest model on any site right now, IMO. Alex Waters bottoming x2 makes it even better. Lance and Alex have a scene together where they 69.
Lance Alexander is driving me crazy too. I love long and lanky bow-legged boys and that deep sexy voice of his is just to die for! I joined to see Alex bottom but I know I'll get just as much enjoyment out of Lance and Bradley too. I don't care if they overexpose these guys. They are freakishly hot! I really love the part when Bradley was fucking Alex doggy-style on the staircase.
DAMN! Seeing 'Perfect' Alex taking a Dick up his HOT Butt Hole is almost more than my poor old Heart can take! Well ... 'Maybe'!
WISDOM is the Knowledge you've gained ... After you could have used it! _Me
Amen & Hallelujah!!!! I will be going to bed tonight with the biggest smile ever ----- I caught all the Alex vids and pics - and I can't wait to see Lance Fuck Alex, too - but wtching Chad fuck my cutie and drop his hige load on Alex's face was AWESOME .... I can't wait to watch more - awesome site - tthanks y'all for the heads up on this!!!! (........going to bed hard-on and happy!!!)
Brady Jensen is the DIRECTOR for dylanlucas!
THIS is the website he's been working for and with (it must be associated with Pacific Blue Agency which holds contracts with all of these models) I'm not sure how the tie-in with NDS works but it doesn't seem to be an NDS subsidiary (which is good because I've sworn off them for the time being.)
Brady's always talking about shoots and models and I started to wonder just what the fuck it was all about because we never got to see any of it, but they must have been waiting for this launch!
I'm definitely going to join and give it a shot. Brady's exclusive with Bel Ami so he probably won't be in front of the camera until that runs out but there's a lot of talent that is!
and how's this for delicious?
Hmmmmm.......well, for better or worse, there does seem to be an actual link between this and Next Door. I checked and the "3 months for the price of one promo code" that Marcus Mojo gave out on twitter (or I should say, someone gave out on his behalf because I don't think he's actually been in charge of his own twitter for nearly two months now) for the Next Door memberships also works on Dylan Lucas!
If anyone wants it the June code is 341jun12 which gives you 90 days access for $29.95.
I'm going to sleep on it for right now and then decide.
Zach Sire has the story of who's who and what's DylanLucas on "The Sword" (and it's kind of confusing)....
Next Door's New Gay Porn Membership Site Is Called "DylanLucas.com" | The Sword
Ok guys, how good is it to see Alex Waters bottom? I need to see this!!!
He's the first gay porn star I've seen in a while I'm actually attracted to!
his ass is fine !!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness... this is AMAZING! Ever since the first time I saw Alex I wanted to see him bottom. There does seem to be a lot of Alex on his back, which isn't bad but I'd like to see him get fucked doggy more... But thanks for sharing!!!
In the other and (in my opinion) far superior of the two videos, Alex bottoms for cutie Chad Logan:
I love the shots of Alex getting fucked doggy! You can really appreciate his great bubble butt!
I'm really surprised his first bottoming scene wasn't with Bel Ami....and disappointed as well. Next Door is a lousy studio with mostly ugly models. Not impressed with Alex' tops at all.
To be fair, the scenes weren't SHOT for NDS. They were shot when Pacific Blue thought it had a chance of launching its own site (as a studio.) I think they sold their archive and merged with NDS (including NDS taking over their existing contracts for future shoots) once that idea went bust. These scenes were shot a few months ago.
However, I thought his bottoming debut would be with Bel Ami as well. While I think the Pacific Blue/Dylan Lucas scenes are good, I can't help but feel that Bel Ami would have come up with something more inspired for his first time.
I would love to watch this as a video.
OMG!!!! Just seeing that magnificent ass getting plowed is a sight I've yearned to see. Chad Logan is an attractive enough top but I agree - a scene with Kris Evans or Dolph or any one of a dozen other Belami boys doing the honors would most probably have been pretty spectacular.
Pictures from the Bel Ami photo shoot were posted earlier in this thread but I realized that there are some great "behind the scenes" shots that haven't been, so here are a few for fun:
I think I prefer his well-favored brunette friend.
I have to say that I am more looking forward to see Bradley Hudson take it.
Help me out guys. I thought Alex went exclusive with BA when he joined them at their European studios. But obviously not so. Was that just a limited guest model gig and then back to the states to pursue permanent opportunities or what. Help?
I'm glad to see a thread of mine survived while I was gone!

In a match dominated by the Blue Raiders, the Blue Tornado trailed 51-18 after 12 bouts before getting a pin at 285 pounds and a forfeit at 106 to close out the match.
"We had several guys out sick and injured and we had some younger guys in the lineup tonight. I know McCallie had a few guys out of the lineup, too. It is just that time of the year when people are kind of beat up. But, overall I thought we did well. We stepped up and fought hard. I was proud of our effort," said Cleveland coach Jake Yost.
The Raiders, ranked No. 2 in the state behind Christian Brothers, got pins from Chris DeBien at 113, Austin Stevison at 120 and Taylor Bishop at 126 to get the night started.
"At 113 pounds we wrestled a really tough kid. It was 0-0 and Chris stepped up and put an arm bar in and pinned him," Yost said of Cleveland's opening win. "Really up and down the line the guys did a good job tonight."
Cleveland will try to pick up its 14th win of the season against No. 3-ranked and perennial wrestling power Soddy-Daisy Thursday.
McCallie countered with pins at 132 and 138 pounds to cut Cleveland's lead to 18-12.
Cleveland came back with pins in four of the next six bouts with Joel Simpkins winning by forfeit at 152.
Oleg Stukanov battled McCallie's Jay Roberts in the only match that went the distance. Stukanov, after leading 9-3 to start the third period, missed a major decision when Roberts pulled off an escape at the buzzer to make the final score 11-4.
Karon Kennedy earned Cleveland's final win of the night with a pin at 220 pounds.
"We've got some areas to work on. We've got to work on single leg finishes and closing the gap on people when they are kind of backing up and trying to get away from us," said Yost.
(Match started at 113)
106 — Addison Connell (M) win by forfeit; 113 — Chris DeBien (C) pinned James Westbrook (M), 3:56; 120 — Austin Stevison (C) pinned Trent Maddox (M), 0:37; 126 — Taylor Bishop (C) pinned Morgan Boyd (M), 5:01; 132 — Adam Connell (M) pinned Victor Barbosa (C), 0:54; 138 — Griffin Davis (M) pinned Emmanuel Ospina (C), 1:45; 145 — Aaron Oliver (C) pinned Mathew Jones (M), 5:04; 152 — Joel Simpson (C) win by forfeit; 160 — Josh Hamilton (C) pinned Will Patton (M), 0:30; 170 — Aaron Lopez (C) pinned Calum McCroskey (M), 1:54; 182 — Nathan Hoodenpyle (M) pinned Sean Von Potts (C), 5:41; 195 — Oleg Stukanov (C) dec. Jay Roberts (M), 11-4; 220 — Karon Kennedy (C) pinned Brian Phillips (M), 2:34; 285 — Casy Cook (M) pinned John Gaither (C), 1:21.

Updated: April 5, 2013 4:41PM
ATLANTA — The Cubs finally escaped the cold of Pittsburgh, and by Saturday in Atlanta temperatures are supposed to be in the 70s.
But if the Cubs are looking to warm up, they might want to be careful for what they wish for.
If you thought the heat was on closer Carlos Marmol before he got his first save in Thursday's eventful ninth, take a look what's next.
Because the schedule's about to get particularly hot.
For all the stellar pitching and hand-stinging hitting the first three games that led to the Cubs' first season-opening series win in four years, the next 19 games come against five teams that finished an average of 22 games over .500 last year and that are all expected to contend this year.
"We don't look at it as tough; we look at it as a way to show what we've got from the beginning," said fifth-starter Carlos Villanueva, who starts Saturday in Atlanta in the first of a six-series gauntlet that also includes Milwaukee, San Francisco, Texas, Milwaukee again and Cincinnati.
"It's good," Villanueva said. "It's better that we face that good competition early on and kind of test ourselves and see how well off we are this year."
Four of those five teams in that rough 19-game stretch were playoff teams a year ago.
"That's part of the game, manager Dale Sveum said. "You've got to find ways to win them games."

Narrow your search
The next-day-TV site refreshes its content deal with Viacom, which will keep "Daily Show" and "Colbert Report" streaming and add cult faves like "Ren & Stimpy" and "Invader Zim."
It's not perfect, but the Hulu Plus app offers great sound and video quality, which make it a must-download for any paying subscriber.
Pricing not available
Uncensored episodes of the '90s anime series airs on Hulu Plus starting Monday, with a remake set to come later this year.
Starting in June, Xbox owners will be able to stream Netflix and Hulu Plus without a $60-per-year Gold membership.
Mobile users will be able to catch selected full TV episodes for free without need of a Hulu Plus subscription starting this summer.
Australians trying to access streaming service Hulu may find themselves blocked, with the site now locking out those streaming content via VPN.
The video-streaming subscription service builds on the success of the Chromecast feature, which essentially turns mobile devices into remote controls.
Fans don't have to try turning their computers on and off again, now that Hulu and Hulu Plus are debuting the long-awaited last episode of the British geek comedy series "The IT Crowd."
The new content helps pad the video-streaming device's much talked about, but limited, voice search options.

I have talked to "Ken" on the phone. Nice guy. Really deep voice, like something from the Bronx even though he grew up in the South.
He was worried when the AD scandal happened that he would get booted.
After the shoot, he went to a bar to find a girl and fucked her to prove to himself that he wasn't gay. Lol.
He says he didn't know that Cole was going to fuck him when he did. He was thinking about doing more porn 3 years ago, but has since gotten married and had a kid. He is now 30, still in the Army and not aging all that well. Haven't chatted with him in over a year but we are still friends on Myspace.

Speedo Women's Conservative Ultraback Swimsuit
Too long for me
I ordered a 14 because I am more "Reubenesque" in the hips. A 12 would have fit me otherwise. I'll try shortening the straps to take up the slack, but it would be nice if they made them with adjustable straps to begin with?few of us enjoy the perfect figure. The material looks very durable and I love the color. I would recommend it for a taller person than I am (I am 5'6").
December 15, 2014
this is the perfect suit for me - I like that it is modest and comfortable
July 22, 2014
love this style swimsuit
I am a very active water person, with kayaking, going to the beach and owning a pool. I live in my bathing suits in the summer and use them year round at the health club. I don't like to worry about the shoulder straps falling down, or the suit rising or sagging where it shouldn't! This is a great suit for the fit, the style, conservative but flattering, and it's very comfortable kayaking, when I need to focus on the sport and not worry about the bathing suit. Great value for the money, and it doesn't fade with chlorine or lots of usage. This is the 3rd suit I have purchased of this style...I wear them all the time.

Speedo Ladies Bathing suits.
I ordered a Speedo bathing suit which didn't fit like is should have. I am used to the comtemporty and this one not only was not comtempoary, it was 19.00 more than sold in your store.
Dick's never seems to have many Speedo bathing suits in stock everytime I go there.
I took it back and bought one not a Speedo at an other store.

Locals take it off for charity in 'The Full Monty'By Elizabeth Hewitt
Arts Correspondent | February 13,2013Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Rehearsing "The Full Monty (musical)" are, from left, Frank Wright, Jesse Clayton, Scott Santamore and Chuck Battle,as Judi Tompkins cheers on the strip show. Missing from pictire are James Lorentz and Bob Tompkins.When it comes to performing a striptease act, what do six laid-off steel mill workers in Buffalo have on the Chippendales dancers?
Chippendales dancers never go the full monty.
This Friday and Saturday, the brave men of Buffalo prepare to bare it all on at the Paramount Theatre in Rutland in
'Cause Productions performance of "The Full Monty."
"It's a great story with a great heart," said director and producer Saskia Hagen Groom. "I find it an extremely timely story line."
"The Full Monty" musical is based on the 1997 British film by the same name about unemployed men in a working class English town who try to reverse their fortunes with a bold scheme. The story's vast appeal led to the American musical adaptation, with a book by Terrence McNally and music and lyrics by David Yazbek. The show received a slew of Tony nominations after debuting on Broadway in 2000.
Here in Rutland, Hagen Groom began a tradition six years ago when she produced the "Vagina Monologues," with all proceeds going to charity. Every February since then, 'Cause Productions has put on a benefit show, part of
Hagen Groom's mission to connect business with the arts. Proceeds from "The Full Monty" will benefit the Rutland County Women's Network and Shelter.
The blue-collar men of "The Full Monty," left unemployed by the closing of steel mills in Buffalo, are facing hard times. After seeing how much women were willing to pay to see a Chippendales act, two down-on-their-luck friends crack a plan to earn some fast cash themselves.
They rope in their former colleagues, who question whether they'd be able to attract much of an audience. But, ringleader Jerry declares, they'll take it one step further than the Chippendale dancers and strip all the way.
As they rehearse together for the big show, the characters help each other through their personal struggles with their insecurities and fears.
Hagen Groom selected "The Full Monty" in part for its adult humor and pop-rock score, but also because of how it addresses more serious social and economic themes. Peppered in among the light and witty numbers — like the innuendo-laden "Big Black Man" or the darkly funny "Big Ass Rock" about suicide — are more poignant moments.
One of Hagen Groom's favorite songs, "You Rule My World," is about love.
"They're realizing that, job or no job, money or no money, looks or no looks, love conquers all," Hagen Groom said.
"It's a quality musical that has some silly stuff in it, but has a lot of relevant themes," said James Lorentz, who plays Jerry, the mastermind behind the scheme. Characters grapple with unemployment, homosexuality, father's rights and more.
"It's about Buffalo, but it could be about any Smalltown, U.S.A. with a bad economy and people out of work," Lorentz said.
Meanwhile, the six guys confront a practical hurdle in preparing for their first every striptease: the ability, or lack thereof, to dance. It was a struggle some of the cast members could identify with.
"I have the coordination of a pencil," Lorentz laughed.
Leif Erickson, a regular on the Paramount stage, stayed behind the scenes this time as choreographer. He adapted Jerry Mitchell's iconic choreography from the Broadway production to the cast, whose dancing experience ranged from seasoned musical theater veteran to none.
The musical "is realistic for those who may not have that dance background," Erickson said, noting that through much of the story, the men are learning to dance. In the song "Michael Jordan's Ball," the six aspiring strippers try to improve their choreography.
The men's moves are put to the test in the finale, "Let It Go," when the novice dancers are on stage, confronted with whether they will or won't make good on their promise to bare it all.
"You're out of your seat by the time they get there," Erickson said.
Erickson and Hagen Groom looked to the Broadway production for inspiration in staging the finale, dependant on a critical lighting cue.
"People ask me, 'Are they truly going the full monty?'" Hagen Groom said. "Well it's not called 'the three-quarter monty.'" But, she assures, "it's done in a very tasteful manner."MORE IN This Just InPSB orders Full StoryBOYS BASKETBALL Full StoryPROCTOR The Phantoms wouldnt win titles if they couldnt handle a little pressure.

ATLANTA (CNN) — An advisory panel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday voted 19-10 to recommend placing tighter restrictions on hydrocodone, an ingredient found in popular prescription drugs including Vicodin, Norco and Lortab.
If the panel's advice is adopted by FDA, it would put hydrocodone on par with prescription painkillers like oxycodone, morphine, and methadone -- drugs with high abuse potential that can lead to severe physical dependence.
With its vote, the advisory panel is suggesting that hydrocodone be moved from its current classification as a Schedule III drug -- a drug with moderate abuse potential -- to a more restrictive Schedule II classification.
Among a wide field of potent prescription painkillers -- which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says are fueling an epidemic of abuse in the United States -- hydrocodone may have been flying under the radar among doctors.
"Most doctors are under the impression that Vicodin (whose main ingredient is hydrocodone) is less addictive than other prescription painkillers," said Dr. Andrew Kolodny, president of Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing.
"When you wonder why your dentist gives you 40 hydrocodone for a toothache, or your knee doctor prescribes far more than he should, that's because they're under the impression that it's not addictive as Percocet. That's completely false."
The panel's advice, if adopted by the FDA, would limit how much hydrocodone a patient could get between doctor visits. It would also limit refills -- from the five allowed for Schedule III drugs, to three, which is the limit for Schedule II drugs -- according to Public Citizen, a nonprofit consumer advocacy group.
But pain patient advocacy groups and pharmaceutical companies, among others, fear that reclassification will make it harder for patients to get medications they need.
"The FDA advisory committee is considering a proposal that could make it harder for patients with legitimate health needs to obtain essential medications," according to a statement by the National Community Pharmacists Association, which represents pharmacy owners and employees.
Hydrocodone is the most prescribed painkiller in the U.S.: 131 million prescriptions for hydrocodone were written in 2010, according to IMS Health, a health care information company.
That number far outpaces the medical need for the drug, said Kolodny.
"We've had a medical community that has been massively overprescribing the drug," said Kolodny. "There is very little difference between a hydrocodone molecule and a heroin molecule. We need doctors to prescribe much more cautiously."
But it is up for question whether rescheduling hydrocodone will deter doctors from prescribing, or make it very difficult for patients to obtain it, said Dr. Stephen Anderson, an emergency-room physician in Auburn, Washington.
"You'd like for providers who write prescriptions for it to think twice, you'd like people who use it to think twice," said Anderson, also a past-president of the Washington chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians. "Unfortunately I think way too many providers don't draw that distinction very often."
And while Anderson does not wholly agree that reclassifying hydrocodone will necessarily change habits, he says that the move does underline a dire need to change the overall perception of painkillers.
"Society's starting to open their eyes that there is a problem associated (with prescription painkillers)," said Anderson. "If you make a move like this...it's out there in the conversation about this epidemic, and that's a good thing."
An FDA spokewoman could not confirm when the FDA would act on the panel's recommendation.
