What do you get when you mix an Australian graffiti artist, a high school student, two art therapists, a pub owner and a radio show host at the ROM on a Thursday night? The ICC's iPad Drawing Class!
Today is the last day of the LEGO Sphinx build at the ROM. There has been a lot of progress and it's been great to have seen so many of you out to see the Sphinx near completion, and to join in on the other LEGO activities on this weekend.
Day 3, 10am - The LEGO Sphinx is almost done
Robin Sather, LEGO® Certified Professional at Brickville DesignWorks in Abbotsford, British Columbia talks with us about his upcoming build of a giant LEGO® Sphinx at the ROM on October 28-30.
I've just celebrated my one year anniversary here at the ROM. It's been a fantastic year for me and the Museum, as we've spent much of the time working together on our plans for the future. I've decided to start my second year with some very exciting news that kickstarts the countdown to the ROM's centenary in 2014!
Submitted by Liz Muir, volunteer with the Friends of Canadian Collections (FCC).
Almost 200 years ago, war broke out between the United States and Canada, which was still part of the British Empire at the time. That conflict became know as the War of 1812.
Here at the ROM, a project team is hard at work bringing Maya: Secrets of their Ancient World to life. The exhibition opens November 19, but ROM staff have been immersed in the project for well over a year!
Emilio Genovese, ROM Exhibit Designer, is a key member of the project team. Today he is working with an artist to finalize large graphic murals that will appear throughout the exhibition. We asked him to answer a few questions about the murals and tell us a little more about his role on the exhibition project team.
Keeps your eyes here. At 7 pm we'll be chatting with David Hockney about his drawings on the iPhone and iPad.
October 21 2:35. pm
A big apology to everyone who was following our Live Blog of David Hockney in conversation iwth Charlie Scheips. We experienced some technical difficulties that evening, but are back up and running!
We did catch the whole conversation on tape and will make it up to you with a Vlog of everything you missed. Coming soon!
This article was originally published on UNMUSEUM on September 27, 2011. You can follow Janet on Twitter @janetcarding.
I love sharing the cool secrets of the ROM with visitors, so it really made my day when our Name the Queen Bee Contest winner Kaitlyn visited the ROM with her mom and her brother Kynan (who also happened to be our third place winner). I got to show them around the Keenan Family Gallery of Hands-on Biodiversity and Life in Crisis: Schad Gallery of Biodiversity, as well as introduce them to a few special friends of mine who live behind-the-scenes at the ROM.

eBay Finds of the Day: Brand-new, never registered 1987 Shelby Dodge Lancer and 1989 Shelby Dakota
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Oct 11th, 2012 at 4:30PM
These days, the Shelby name is synonymous with Ford Mustang performance, but it wasn't always so. Carroll Shelby spent plenty of time decking the halls of Chrysler with quick versions of otherwise plebeian models, including the Dodge Dakota and Lancer. Most of those machines have returned to the earth in spectacular fashion by now, but it looks as if one owner in Pennsville, New Jersey sealed two of the machines away from the world to preserve them for future generations. Behold what could very well be the cleanest and most original 1987 Shelby Lancer and 1989 Shelby Dakota on the face of... Read More

Porsche 911 gets McLaren-inspired central driver's seat
by Jeffrey N. Ross (RSS feed) on Nov 6th, 2012 at 1:31PM
There are many custom jobs we've seen performed on a Porsche 911 that are unimaginably hideous, but this Centro 911 is not one of them. The Florida owner of the above 997 Carrera S Cabriolet tasked Trinity Motorsports Group of Lima, Ohio with transforming the car from its standard two-plus-two layout into a unique, single-center-seat driver. In a phone interview, Shawn Bayliff, owner of Trinity Motorsports Group, told Autoblog that the car was built for a customer who wanted a McLaren F1 driving experience, and instead of chopping up his Lamborghini Gallardo, he decided to have this 911...

- The Effect of Zr-Doping and Crystallite Size on the Mechanical Properties of TiO2 Rutile and Anatase (2008)
- TiO2 is an important technological material, used as white pigment, as wide band gap semiconductor in electrochemical dye solar cells, for photocatalysis and in photochemical energy-conversion processes. The most abundant phases are rutile, anatase and brookite. In addition, there are a number of metastable low density modifications. The compression behavior of anatase and rutile was studied for TiO2 and Ti0.9Zr0.1O2 starting materials with crystallite size in the micro- and also nanometer range. Quenched samples of rutile, anatase and high pressure polymorphs synthesized at up to 10 GPa adopt 10 mol% ZrO2, Zr-doped TiO2 starting materials therefore have the composition Ti0.9Zr0.1O2. Compression experiments were carried out in the diamond anvil cell and samples were characterized by in-situ X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption and Raman spectroscopic measurements. A sol-gel route was developed for the synthesis of nanoscale anatase Tix:Zr1-xO2 with x=0.90 and 1.0, which was annealed at 1000°C to microscale rutile. In hydrothermal experiments, nanoscale anatase Ti0.9Zr0.1O2 was used as starting material for the synthesis of microscale Zr-doped anatase. Neither the incorporation of Zr nor the decrease of crystallite size to the nanometer range modifies the bulk modulus of rutile. These results are different from those of anatase, where a decreasse of crystallite size and doping with Zr leads to an increase of the bulk modulus. Second order EoS fits (K0'=4) resulted in a bulk modulus of microscale anatase of K0=178 GPa and K0=179 GPa. The nanoscale counterpart shows much higher values of K0=237 GPa and K0=243 GPa. In this study, it was found that microscale anatase Ti0.90Zr0.10O2 has K0=195 GPa, which is comparable to undoped material. Largest values were found for nanoscale anatase Ti0.90Zr0.10O2 with K0=258 GPa. Zr-doping thus reduces the compressibility of nanoanatase, even though ZrO2 polymorphs are more compressible than the corresponding TiO2 forms. For the Zr-doped nanoanatase, XRD analysis showed a significant change in compression behavior at pressures 4 GPa, suggested as a consequence of deviatoric stresses during experimental compression of the nanoscale material. Computations on supercells with different distances of neighboring Zr-atoms suggested cluster formation of Zr in the (Ti,Zr)O2 anatase. The resulting structural distortions can further augment the change in compression behavior. Zr-doped nanoanatase becomes stiffer upon multiple compression cycles. While the bulk modulus of the first compression was 211 GPa, after the sample was decompressed, the second compression showed a bulk modulus of 249 GPa. We suggest that partial pressure induced amorphization plays an important role for the observed stiffening. Anatase and rutile TiO2 transform to the MI phase upon compression. The transition pressure increases with a decreasing crystallite size from 12 GPa for microscale material to 18 GPa for crystallite size of 12 nm. For anatase, smaller particles transform to an amorphous phase at pressures of 20–24 GPa. Zr-doping does not seem to vary the transformation pressure. Ab-initio all-electron density functional electronic structure simulations on the ground state energetics of the TiO2 phases rutile, anatase, brookite, TiO2II and MI-phase were performed using the projector augmented wave and the linear augmented plane wave methods along with local density approximation (LDA) and two types of generalized gradient approximations (GGA), using the formulations by Perdew, Bunge and Enzerhoff, referred to as PBE, and by Wu and Cohen, reffered to as WC. The zero pressure volumes are predicted smaller by <3% in LDA computations and larger by 8 and 0.4% in PBE and WC computations. The stable structure at 0 GPa is baddeleyite for LDA computations and anatase for GGA computations, contradicting experimental results that determine rutile as the most stable phase. Rutile appears to have the highest energy in LDA computations and intermediate energy in GGA computations.

BMW 6 Series Coupe Concept – Click above for high-res image gallery Word has it that BMW is planning to unveil the next 6 Series coupe at the upcoming Shanghai Motor Show in April. According the Dutch arm of AutoWeek, it only makes since for the big two door to take a bow this spring since the concept version debuted at the 2010 Pairs Motor Show last fall. Given that we've seen more than a few spy photos crop up recently, the prediction would seem spot-on. The report says that buyers can first expect to get their hands on the coupe in either 640i or 650i variants with additional... Read More

Meet the 20th-century prospectors who made and lost fortunes searching Texas for black gold.
Like the gold rush prospectors of an earlier generation, WILDCATTERS dreamed of wresting fortunes from the earth. But their target was oil, and their destination was Texas.
WILDCATTERS tells the rough-and-tumble story of oil exploration in the Lone Star State, starting at Spindletop. On this mound outside Beaumont, on the tenth day of the 20th century, a gusher was unleashed that sent oil spewing 100 feet up into the air for nine straight days! By the time it was brought under control, the landscape was flooded with petroleum and Texas was awash in a new breed of man. Part gambler, part geologist, a wildcatter risked everything to drill a hole in the ground in the hopes of becoming an instant millionaire. They turned sleepy hamlets into boomtowns, earned and lost fortunes, and enabled America's transformation into a nation of cars and drivers.
Filled with visits to legendary wells and the memories of former wildcatters, this is a fascinating look at a unique chapter in American history.

A Successful Partnership!
In addition to providing information especially for taxpayers, the SC Department of Revenue is indebted to tax preparers, EROs, and tax preparation software developers for their partnership role with the agency in serving the citizens of South Carolina. South Carolina has been and continues to be at the forefront of offering electronic filing and payment options to its taxpayers.
The South Carolina General Assembly has enacted legislation under Section 12-54-250 of the SC Code of Laws that allows the SC Department of Revenue to mandate electronic filing if the tax return preparer prepares 100 or more returns for a tax period for the same tax year. This is enabling legislation beginning with tax year 2007 and provides the authority to the SC DOR to enforce the mandate.

If you came home to find your teenage son or daughter in bed with a postal delivery person, what would you say to them?
As I get older, most of the frat dudes that I encounter are seemingly young and immature, which is why I hang on to the biases that I do. I am positive that I know someone in a fraternity that I like or can respect.
I think Charles Bukowski is HILARIOUS. I love his poetry. This might hurt my cred but I also enjoyed the Tucker Max book "I hope they serve beer in hell". Very easy read and totally hilarious. I hope he is still checking his linkage and comes to join us on the board. www.tuckermax.com
Bonus: I totally hate Jack Black. Thank you for concurring that he is intolerable. Not funny at all, except for small parts in "The Pick of Destiny".

The rest of the question, like who would play me in a movie and such, I dont know but I am really bored and turned off by that question. Sorry
fair enough. What is your favorite dance move?
If it was the male then I would be less concerned than the female. I think it is kind of instinctive for men to want to sleep with all the women they come across. I sometimes think that males can have more partners and it is not such a cry for validation or self esteem. I know that sounds horrible but I just feel like (and not that its ok) males want to have sex out of a primal instinct, where as females use it for control or power (because they can and do mentally and physically withhold the urges).
I would tell them about the emotional ties that can be created even with random sex. I would tell them how to be safe sexually and that it is in their own best interest to protect themselves when having sex. If they are young then I would tell them how self satisfying abstinence can be.
I am sure anyone who has ever raved with me knows my style
Tell us about juice. What is your favorite of the fruit juices and why? Of this juice, do you also enjoy the raw fruit? Which is better, the juice or the raw fruit?
what kind of music did you listen to growing up? What are some of the artists or tracks that got you into different genres of music?
Probably the one time I just got out of line with my stuff, and all the electricity for blocks shut off. All the bums and homeless people rushed the store and started looting. My house is close so I jammed out of there as fast as I could before they decided to turn on me.
Another time I bought the worst schwag off of a little kid that came out of the back of this horrible looking dive bar that faced the alley.
Is it true Alex has a $200 Black Mountain bootleg from Coachella? Can you confirm or deny its authenticity?
Alex Gardner got the 2008 Coachella Bootleg thread %95 deleted
He claimed to have a Black Mountain VHS bootleg from Coachella 08'.
I am on his computer right now
I have been since I started BMOTW. I have been crashing at his place since last Thursday.
Alex loves Coachella just as much as all of us, I have never been to Coachella without him.
His dad recorded all the Saturday and Sunday webcasts for us to watch. Pretty sick to see the whole Beirut set.
I like bananas and 20th century pears. I like berries and tomatoes also.

You meet the girl of your dreams, fall in love and get married. You have a near perfect, blissful relationship. Then, 5 years into the marriage she tells you she feels she's been living a lie and that she's really feels that she should be a man. She informs you that she is getting a complete sex change and changing her name to Larry.
You love her. You've never had such a connection with another person. There are no children to worry about. Do you stay with her [him] and try and make it work?
Your favorite Asian cuisine?
Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, Other?

Stephon Gilmore A True Option for Panthers
This corner is being seen more and more as a top 10 pick, and with the need at corner, and it being such a premium position in the NFL, he is a very likely candidate to be picked up at #9. I used to be a Coples guy, but with all the negative things coming out about him, with very little positive, I think Gilmore would be a solid contributor, while also being the safest pick. It would really help our sad secondary, and get us some takeaways.
Here is a link citing how many analysts and teams talk about how they think he is top 10 material
I think the guy seems to have his head on straight, with some serious athletic ability.
It is also good to note, this guy is a returner as well. He helps us on multiple fronts. The more I read about this guy and watch him in games, the more I like him.
97 Comments
He gets a little off with his technique but he is coming out early and we do hopefully have Hogan to take the 2spot and Gilmore can fill in at FS nickleback.
Our secondary would be actually really good all of the sudden...Butler/Munnerlyn as a no.4...special teams has great spped and matchup ability for heavy passing sets.
-for me it is not ideal at 9...but trading down getting and gaining a pick would make it a great pick IMO.
Gilmore is also a leader, something I wouldn't mind having more of on defense.
I'm not happy because he doesn't deserve to go in the top 10, I'd be happy with him in a trade.
jt- not happy bc it would be a slight reach or do you think he would not be a good player?
-for me it is not ideal at 9...but trading down getting and gaining a pick would make it a great pick IMO.
That being said, I think Gilmore/Kirkpatrick in the first and Thompson/Jones in the second would be a solid couple rounds for us.
Other than Kuchley and Ingram Id rather come away with him than a project DT and effort-guessing DE.
Idont want a WR early either even if Blackmon somehow falls.
Gilmore - Wright, Gilmore-Still, Gilmore- lber from nebraska, are better 1-2 combos than
Coples -Dennard, or Cox-early second rd prospect
It is, but we need a starting caliber CB badly. I'd be cool with it.
Ehhh 9 seems like a reach
If we trade down into the teens, I definitely see us snagging him.

Jenson Button will take part in his 250th Grand Prix in Bahrain, but his rookie team-mate Kevin Magnussen is excited by racing on a track he has seen before.
Jenson Button: It's hard to believe that this weekend's race will be the 10th Bahrain Grand Prix - I won this race back in 2009, I've had lots of good performances here, and I really enjoy the challenge the circuit presents. You always feel like you can get a little bit more out of yourself, and the car, which makes it a difficult but rewarding track on which to drive.
Sunday's race will be my 250th Grand Prix start. That's crazy: it feels like only yesterday that I was celebrating my 200th, with a win for McLaren in Hungary back in 2011.
Things never stand still in Formula One, and we go to Bahrain facing another new challenge: the circuit's first night race. It'll be interesting to see what sort of race we have under the floodlights - racing at night always adds to the atmosphere and sense of occasion, and I think this weekend will be no different.
We've scored some useful points in the first two races, which was always our objective for the opening quartet of fly-aways [ie, Australia, Malaysia, Bahrain and China], and I hope we can get some more points in the bag this weekend."
Kevin Magnussen: It'll be a good experience to go racing at a circuit on which I've already driven a Formula 1 car - a first for me in fact because I already have four days' running under my belt from the recent winter tests. While that doesn't really make a massive difference, because you can learn a circuit relatively quickly, assisted by simulator experience, it does mean you can go straight into Friday's practice sessions on the front foot. You don't need to familiarise yourself with the track first.
I really enjoyed the tests and filming days we did in Bahrain earlier this year actually - the track has a good mix of corners, and the high-speed stuff around the back of the circuit is really enjoyable when the car is working well.
Although the Sakhir [Bahrain] track has several high-speed corners, it's not as fast as Sepang [Malaysia] so I'm hopeful that we'll be slightly more competitive this weekend than we were there. I still think the track temperatures and our lack of downforce will make it hard to get the car into the sweet spot we found for it in Melbourne, but I'm hopeful we'll be able to achieve a decent balance for the race.
The Grand Prix itself will take place in the evening, so the track will be slightly cooler than it's been for any previous Bahrain Grand Prix. I guess that'll help all the teams, but I think we can still benefit from it.
It's always fascinating to try new things, and I really hope this weekend's event, the 10th Bahrain Grand Prix, is a great success."

A Jobs-Centered Approach to African American Community Development
Millions of African Americans live in communities that lack access to good jobs and good schools and suffer from high crime rates. African American adults are about twice as likely to be unemployed as whites, black students lag their white peers in educational attainment and achievement, and African American communities tend to have higher than average crime rates. These issues have been persistent problems.
Jobs are essential to improving African American communities. Increased employment would help people in these communities lift themselves out of poverty. In addition, because poor economic conditions are an important causal factor behind poor educational outcomes and high crime rates are correlated with high unemployment rates, creating job opportunities would help improve educational outcomes and reduce crime.
This paper outlines a plan for significantly increasing the number of jobs available to African Americans. The plan, which targets communities with persistently high unemployment, includes three main components: creation of public sector jobs, job training with job-placement programs, and wage subsidies for employers. Although the plan is constructed with African Americans in mind, it would also provide benefits to Latino, American Indian, and white communities in which unemployment has remained high.1
A precondition for implementing this plan is a U.S. economy with strong job growth and low unemployment. Unemployment in African American communities cannot be low while the national unemployment rate is high. Thus macroeconomic initiatives—such as infrastructure investments, aid to states, and a stronger safety net—are needed to restore the national economy, reduce the national unemployment rate, and create the conditions for strong job growth in the future.
Even when the national economy is good, however, conditions for African Americans are typically bad. Federal intervention to aid African American community development is necessary for the following reasons:
- African Americans still reside mainly in separate and unequal communities. In 2010, in the 100 metropolitan areas with the largest African American populations, 62.5 percent of blacks would have had to move to achieve full black–white integration.
- Unemployment rates for African Americans have been far higher than those of whites for the past 50 years, even in good times. In fact, since 1960 the black unemployment rate has been about twice the white rate. Had blacks had the same unemployment rate as whites in 2010, an additional 1.3 million blacks would have been employed.
- Parental unemployment, and not simply low income, has negative effects on children's educational outcomes. Blacks are twice as likely as whites to have had 10 or more spells of unemployment over their prime working years.
- Joblessness, although by no means the only factor producing higher crime rates in African American communities, appears to play a significant role.
- Neither educational advances nor suburbanization by blacks has translated into reductions in the black–white unemployment rate ratio.
- If a bold new approach is not developed to address the racial unemployment disparity, it is likely that African Americans will be condemned to unemployment rates that are twice those of whites into the foreseeable future.
This paper begins with brief discussions of residential segregation and the persistent job crisis facing African Americans. It then presents evidence that suggests why improving educational attainment and access to suburban labor markets are not likely to be enough to raise employment rates among African Americans. This discussion is followed by a proposal for reducing the high rate of joblessness in and rejuvenating African American communities.
Separate and unequal communities
African Americans still reside mainly in separate and unequal communities. In 2010, in the 100 metropolitan areas with the largest black populations, 62.5 percent of blacks would have had to move to achieve full black–white integration. In some of the largest metropolitan areas, the degree of segregation is significantly above the average. In the New York, Chicago, and Detroit metropolitan areas, for example, more than 75 percent of African Americans would have had to move to achieve residential integration.2
These spatially separate communities face very different economic circumstances. In 2007, before the recession began, African Americans in many of the largest metropolitan areas were already in economic distress, with unemployment rates of 10 percent or higher (Austin 2011). The 2007 unemployment rate for blacks in the Detroit metropolitan area was 14.9 percent—more than 2.5 times the 5.8 percent rate for whites. In the Chicago metropolitan area, the 2007 unemployment rate was 10.3 percent for blacks and 3.6 percent for whites.3
The segregation and economic inequality seen in large metropolitan areas also exist even within the smaller geographies of cities. In 2009, for example, Ward 3 in Washington, D.C., which was 78 percent white (Neighborhood Info DC 2011), had an unemployment rate of just 3.2 percent (Comey, Narducci, and Tatian 2010). In contrast, the unemployment rate in Ward 8, which was 94 percent African American, was 28.7 percent.
Because of the high degree of segregation of African Americans into economically distressed communities, community-based policies can be effective mechanisms for helping this population. In Washington, D.C., for example, the challenge is not how to provide economic development for the city as a whole but how to provide economic development for Ward 8 and similar wards.
The importance of jobs
The problem of joblessness is a deep and persistent one for African Americans. Since as early as 1960, the black unemployment rate has been twice the white rate (Fairlie and Sundstrom 1999).4As wide as this unemployment rate gap is, it actually underestimates the magnitude of the problem, because, faced with persistent challenges finding employment, many would-be job seekers give up hope of finding a job and drop out of the labor force. Once they do so, they are no longer counted as unemployed, even though they are jobless. For this reason, only employment-rate gaps reveal the full magnitude of the problem of joblessness for African Americans.
In 2010, for example, had blacks had the same unemployment rate as whites, an additional 1.3 million blacks would have been working. Had blacks had the same employment rate as whites, however, an additional 2.0 million blacks would have been working.5 The unemployment rate gap is large, but the employment rate gap is even larger.
Employment that reaches deep into African American communities is key to community development, for a variety of reasons. First, economic conditions are related to educational achievement. Low family income has significant negative effects on children's educational achievement (Duncan and Magnuson 2005; Kalil 2010; Lee and Burkam 2002; Stevens and Schaller 2009; Taylor, Dearing, and McCartney 2004). Unemployment in and of itself has negative effects on children's educational outcomes (Stevens and Schaller 2009; Kalil 2010). Blacks are twice as likely as whites to have had 10 or more spells of unemployment over their prime working years (Bureau of Labor Statistics n.d.). Each spell of parental unemployment reduces the likelihood of a child's educational success. If it were possible to increase the black employment rate to the level of whites and sustain it, we would expect substantial increases in the performance of black students. Creating more jobs for African Americans would thus not only raise incomes, it would also improve educational outcomes.
Second, economic conditions seem to be related to crime rates. Although there is much that criminologists still do not understand about the dynamics of criminal offending, a growing body of research suggests that low wages, high unemployment, high poverty, and high economic inequality lead to higher crime rates (Kelly 2000; Ludwig, Duncan, and Hirschfield 2001; Gould, Weinberg, and Mustard 2002; Machin and Meghir 2004; Lin 2008). Strong job creation that targets African-American communities would improve economic conditions in these communities and likely reduce crime rates.
It is important to recognize that economic conditions are not the only factors driving crime rates. Demographic changes, criminal-organization practices, criminal-justice policies, and other factors all affect crime rates. The recent declines in crime likely stem from these other factors.
The insufficiency of education alone
Improving educational attainment is a worthy end in itself, but there is little reason to believe that it will reduce the economic problems facing African Americans. The more educated a person is, the more likely he or she will be employed and employed in a good job. However, the employment gap between African Americans and whites will not be bridged by increasing education, as the evidence presented below shows.
The African American population is much better educated today than it was in the 1960s by several measures (Austin 2006, 41–49), but the unemployment disparity between blacks and whites remains essentially unchanged. Educational advances have not translated into improvements in the employment situation for most African Americans (Bernstein 1995).
One reason for the ineffectiveness of education is that educational advances made by blacks have often been matched or exceeded by educational advances by whites. For education to improve blacks' relative position, they need to make educational advances at a faster rate than whites.
Even if African Americans were able to catch up with whites educationally, unemployment disparities would not disappear, as African Americans are more likely to be unemployed than whites at every educational level. In 2007, for example, before any significant unemployment effects of the Great Recession had been felt, blacks 25 years old and older with a high school diploma were about twice as likely to be unemployed as their white peers. Blacks with a bachelor's degree or higher were one and a half times as likely to be unemployed as their white counterparts. These disparities are so large that even if blacks had the same educational attainment profile as whites, most of the unemployment gap would remain.6
For African Americans to have had the same unemployment rate as whites in 2007, for example, they would have had to have been much, much better educated than whites. According to Current Population Survey data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the proportion of the labor force with a bachelor's degree was 24 percent for blacks, 34 percent for whites, and 58 percent for Asian Americans. For the African American unemployment rate to have equaled that of whites, 85 percent of African Americans would have had to have been college educated. Even if there were a way for African Americans to quickly leapfrog whites and Asians in college attainment, over time white educational attainment would gradually catch up, recreating the African American unemployment disadvantage.
It is extremely valuable for African Americans to improve their educational outcomes, both individually and collectively. Education has economic as well as important noneconomic benefits. The social problem of the employment gap between blacks and whites will not be solved by educational advances alone, however.

Looks like we might be having some post-Thanksgiving swell. Can you get away with wearing a nice 3/2 in VB?
maybe. hopefully the forecast holds up. 3/2 maybe if you got gloves, booties, and depending on air temp, a hood. You wont be in long though. ive been wearing a 4/3 for about 3 weeks now. (i have holes in it though haha)
Thanks man. I have very nice booties, gloves and hood that connects to a vest. I've surfed that in March and did fine but it was cold. Treating myself to a 4/3 for the holidays but don't think I'll be able to buy it til Friday or Saturday cuz everything will be closed on Thursday and I don't get in til Wednesday night
The air-temp is suppose to be 60 on Friday during the day ... so you may do just fine, at least for two hours. I don't think you could stay in 3+ hours though, but I guess that depends on you tolerance to the cold (I know couldn't with a 3/2).
I've had to quit winter surfing. It's the only time I could get some 1st st time away from the crowds. I got surfer ear really bad. My head closes up for a few days after going out in the cold. I've had Docs offer to drill them out but, I don't trust them, they're only "practicing" medicine. I used to wear 4/3 with built in hood. boots gloves and socks.
4'3 hood boots. Water is freezing.
ima do a 4/3 boots and gloves. 60 degree temps fri and light winds, should be able to do it hoodless. looks like its gonna be delwwwwicious friday

A Big improvement over my other vacuum
By Nikki
from Glenview Illinois
I wish there were an easier way to store the vacuum. Its not an upright and takes up valuable space. Otherwise its a very nice device.
Great Product
By Amanda H
from Chicago, IL
Before purchasing a vacuum I did a lot of research. I have always had a Kenmore and needed to find something new. THe Miele was a great choice. I needed a vacuum that was lightweight and could pick up pet hair. This vacuum was a perfect choice. My carpets have never been so clean. I love the ease of going from each tool. The suction is so powerful. I needed to learn to adjust the suction to vacuum some areas. The only complaint I have is it is hard to push at points because of the suction. It is a learning curve but worth the learning!
Love this Vacuum!

As summer winds down, now is a good time to make an end-of-summer chore checklist.
When it comes to your windows, the end of summer is the perfect time to wash your windows.
Take advantage of the nice weather as this is a job that will require you to be outdoors. So make sure you pick a nice, clear day with no rain.
In addition to cleaning the glass, wipe around the windows to remove an dirt or cobwebs that might be there.

Yummy Game!

Comments about Sky High Scoops™ Colorful Count & Stack Electronic Game:
I bought this for my socially interactive 4-year old. Theme of ice cream makes the game attractive and stacking making the game challenging. In fact, my teenage daughter and her friends like to play it too, although they have harder rules. Each game-play is quick so if someone is losing, it isn't for long. The only thing I would change would be to have a set of harder rules for older children (like no readjusting the pile and can't touch bottom scoops), and the need for a reset game button instead of turning the whole unit off and then back on again to play.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

In the wake of the deadly rampage in a Connecticut elementary school, President Obama hopes to keep the nation focused on preventing gun violence long enough to put what he calls meaningful legislation in place. Our Washington, D.C. reporter Erin Billups has more on the president's plans that he unveiled Wednesday.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As Newtown, Connecticut lays more victims of Friday's mass shooting to rest, Democrats on Capitol Hill and the White House declared war on gun violence.
"If there is even one thing we can do to prevent any of these events, we have a deep obligation to try," President Obama said.
The President Wednesday appointed Vice President Joe Biden to head up a gun violence prevention task force.
Obama said, "We're gonna need to work on making access to mental health care at least as easy to access to a gun. We're gonna need to look more closely at culture that all too often glorifies guns and violence."
The president called it a comprehensive approach, reiterating his support of bans on assault weapons, high capacity ammunition clips and background checks before gun purchases. The task force must submit a report by January.
"It won't be easy, but that can't be an excuse not to try," Obama said.
House Democrats launched their own task force Wednesday, promising to work with the White House. But they're also calling on Republicans to act now, during the lame duck session, on Long Island Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy's ban on high capacity magazines.
"I know there are differences, but can't we come together this one time? To save lives," McCarthy said.
After a sustained silence, the National Rifle Association seemed to offer an olive branch Tuesday, promising meaningful contributions to prevent gun violence, but at the same time, content on its online news program suggests there will still be considerable push back to gun control legislation.
"If one of those school administrators that first confronted him had a firearm, we might not be talking about what we're talking about today," said Ginny Simone, NRA News Anchor.
President Obama appealed for self-reflection from NRA members. He says as consensus grows behind strengthening gun control, he's confident passions will not fade away this time.Obama said, "I would hope that our memories are not so short that what we saw in Newtown isn't lingering with us, that we don't remain passionate about it."
