Considering all the jobs NY State has chased out over the last ten years with outrageous taxes and massive regulations (all under republican leadership)...this is not a turnaround...

I can't stand watching people yell and scream at each other on TV.
I can turn the TV off and experience it live.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A podium (plural podia) is a platform that is used to raise something to a short distance above its surroundings. In architecture a building can rest on a large podium. Podia can also be used to raise people, for instance the conductor of an orchestra stands on a podium as do many public speakers.
Additionally, podium has commonly come to mean the object a speaker stands behind, even when it is at floor level, though the proper term for that item is a lectern. One common type of podium is used to honour medalists in sporting events such as the Olympics. In the Olympics a three level podium is used, the highest level in the centre holds the gold medalist, to their right is a somewhat lower one for the silver medalist. To the left of the gold medalist is an even lower platform for the bronze medalist. Some sports, most notably rowing shun podia, and the symbolism they represent.
Similar podia are used in motorsport, where the first three finishers will usually stand on one at the end of the race to receive trophies. Notable exceptions are the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 races which have different historic customs. In motor racing, the term is frequently used to refer to a top three placing (as in "he'll get a podium").

" Much of their initial success stemmed from their hit reality cable series American Chopper, which began in 2002 on the Discovery Channel. " I've been watching the program since day one. They are switching channels and will be on TLC this coming year.

I am pleased that Orange County Choppers has committed to staying in this over taxed hellhole and has promised to let us tax the hell out of their business and employees and be bullied by our Union bosses in foreseeable future"
There that's better.

Okay. I really do appreciate your letting me know; however I Googled both terms and podium comes up with varying styles. The lectern seems to be more associated with the open, flat-topped piece standing on a pole. Pictures of podiums also include those three-tiered platforms Olympic medalists stand on.
So I won't sweat it. But thanks again for noticing it.

Hideous? I think that they are cool. The OCC guys are genuinely nice people and are very involved in local charities. I know, they frequent my hubby's friend's gym.

My favorite episode was on the other night. It was the one where Paul Sr. got really mad and yelled at Paulie. Then Mikey put on a funny hat.
Man, what a scream!!!

We have made job creation and economic development a priority of this administration and projects like these, are proof positive that our policies and programs are working. Sorry Pataki, you didn't create jack sh!t, these guys BUILT a business without any help from you or the government.

A bit of OCC trivia, they were the SECOND choice of producers when the show was in development. The first company, unnamed, originally accepted the deal, then backed out a few days later. Then OCC was approached with the deal, and accepted. I bet that first company has been kicking themselves in the butt ever since...........

***What is it correctly called, so I can fix the image?***
A 'dais'? A raised platform, as in a lecture hall, for speakers or honored guests Podium: A stand for holding the notes of a public speaker;
Lectern: A stand that serves as a support for the notes or books of a speaker.
"Lectern" would be correct IMO (but I'm not picky)
