text: Research synthesis summary: Improving the take-up of science and technology subjects in schools and colleges What does current academic literature indicate are good classroom practices to encourage secondary students studying science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM)? What are the gaps in knowledge in this area? A new review commissioned by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Department for Children, Schools and Families addresses these questions by reviewing what is currently known about teaching practices, types of initiatives which are available and what impact they are having. Key findings: • Much literature exists surrounding young people's views and attitudes towards science, and it has been shown that the final years of primary school form the critical points of decline • Gender differences can impact take up of STEM subjects; there are distinct attitudinal differences between men and women, and there are stereotypes of the type of people who follow a science career which has an impact on the number of women who study it – eg physics • The home and school environment can influence girls' visions of their role in society as well as their levels of assertiveness, experimentation, self-motivated exploration and risk taking; all of which can affect their choice of subjects at school • The number of women reaching high level positions in science is much lower than expected • Research has highlighted that there are specific policy gaps such as initiatives targeted at encouraging women and ethnic minorities into STEM. Moving forward: Knowledge gaps: • The impact of improving take up, performance and achievement in STEM subjects has not been fully investigated • While there have been many schemes created to help increase student numbers in STEM subjects, there has not been a major study or survey of the school and students who have participated in them, looking at the longer term impact the schemes have • It is not clear how STEM initiatives are linked to the widening For further participation agenda. Regional differences, such as socio- information on the economic factors, the environment and their effect on the take report: up and performance in STEM have not been fully examined Improving the take-up of science and technology • There appears to be a lack of reliable data sources and statistics subjects in schools and which accurately depict the number of primary and secondary colleges teachers with science and maths degrees in the UK. contact: Future priorities include: Professor Pooran Wynarczyk Newcastle University, Small • Understanding the impact of the nature and use of laboratories Enterprise Research Unit in the classroom and the take up of science email: pooran.wynarczyk@newca • Gathering evidence to show whether STEM initiatives that are stle.ac.uk giving STEM teachers confidence in teaching translate into tel: 0191 243 0805 increased numbers of students, or students achieving better http://www.ncl.ac.uk/seru/ results index.htm • Investigating if there is a positive link between improving take up Melanie Knetsch or higher achievement in STEM and participation in extra Senior Science in Society curricular activities.

Billionaire Paul Allen sets up new medical institute to discover how living cells actually work December 11, 2014 at 12:29 pm
Paul Allen has just set aside $100 million simulate a living cell. What kind of cell you might ask? All kinds of cells would probably be his answer, because if you can build the operating system for one, you will know them all.
Bat brains and neural donuts: Do all animals have an internal 3D GPS? December 5, 2014 at 2:15 pm
There's a GPS in your brain! Your neurons are 3D compasses! Researchers from the Weizmann Institute in Israel have recently published some new findings regarding how brains encode head direction in three dimensions. We take a critical look at new findings from the Weizmann institute about how bats, or any creature, actually find there way in the world.
The future of extreme e-sports: The gamepad that draws blood every time your character gets hit December 2, 2014 at 9:08 am
In a rather chilling case of dystopian sci-fi made real, some Canadians have created a modified Xbox gamepad that draws blood from your arm every time your in-game character takes damage. While this is ostensibly a rather noble effort, it's hard not to see this as the first step towards extreme gaming and e-sports where losers actually die in real life.
MRI sniper scope lets us watch single cells crawling around inside your living brain November 19, 2014 at 11:29 am
While the bread and butter of any brain interface is stimulating and recording neurons, there is much more to the brain than that. Researchers from Osaka have now perfected a way to watch neurons actually move within their element; a way at least we might say, to capture what it is they might actually be doing.
MIT can now use E. coli DNA tape recorders for living and replicating data storage November 17, 2014 at 3:13 pm
Cold hard storage capacity like that is great, but what if that kind of power could be integrated with something more alive — something like a single cell, or for that matter, integrated into every cell.
Researchers at MIT's Synthetic Biology Center have just succeeded writing multiple analog streams of real-time environmental data into the genetically transformed hardware of a distributed population of bacterial cells. Living, breathing computers like this are a tremendous advance over the simple encoding of arbitrary digital data with DNA microchips.
The first thought-activated implant is an exciting hint of things to come November 12, 2014 at 12:54 pm
Researchers from ETH Zürich have implanted a living mouse with designer cells bearing genes that can be precisely controlled with light. As we will describe, that is technically challenging enough. But it is what they did next — namely, to wirelessly transfer power and control to this bioimplant according to the thought-controlling whims of an obliging human– that has people talking.

Robotic through-the-cheek brain surgery now possible inside the all-seeing eye of an MRI October 24, 2014 at 11:56 am
Responsible epilepsy surgery now demands precision control of surgical instruments to get up close to the cells that cause it.

Stanford creates tiny, high speed, ultrasound powered brain implants October 23, 2014 at 3:29 pm
Stanford researchers suggest that the way to move beyond the legal, physiological, and physical constraints on the energy that can beam to an implant may be to move away from radio waves, and switch to ultrasound instead. Not content just to wax philosophical about these issues, they have now demonstrated proof of principle for ultrasound power transmission into the brain — or at least into a three-centimeter-thick slab of chicken meat.

NRA Life Member Texas State Rifle Association Life Member Second Amendment Foundation Life MemberIn God We (I) Trust
I don't need No stinking signature.
Just received this from my landlord. Dear fellow Patriot, Gun-grabbers around the globe believe they have it made. This week, bureaucrats at the UN are in New York City drafting the Small Arms Treaty. Speaking for the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton has already given her blessing to this global gun grab, calling for "consensus" in order to "avoid loop-holes." My suspicion is that "loopholes" for Mrs. Clinton include our Second Amendment. Disguised as an "International Arms Control Treaty" to fight against "terrorism," "insurgency" and "international crime syndicates," the UN Small Arms Treaty is in fact a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme. I'm helping lead the fight to defeat this radical treaty in the United States Senate and I want your help. Please join me by taking a public stand against this outright assault on our national sovereignty by signing the Official Firearms Sovereignty Survey. Ultimately, the UN Small Arms Treaty is designed to register, ban and CONFISCATE firearms owned by private citizens like YOU. So far, the gun-grabbers have successfully kept the exact wording of their new scheme under wraps. But looking at previous versions of the UN Small Arms Treaty, you and I can get a good idea of what's likely in the works. If passed by the UN and ratified by the U.S. Senate, the UN Small Arms Treaty would almost certainly FORCE the U.S. to: *** Enact tougher licensing requirements, making law-abiding Americans cut through even more bureaucratic red tape just to own a firearm legally; *** CONFISCATE and DESTROY ALL "unauthorized" civilian firearms (all firearms owned by the government are excluded, of course); *** BAN the trade, sale and private ownership of ALL semi-automatic weapons; *** Create an INTERNATIONAL gun registry, setting the stage for full-scale gun CONFISCATION. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that this is NOT a fight we can afford to lose. Ever since its founding 65 years ago, the United Nations has been hell-bent on bringing the United States to its knees. To the petty dictators and one-world socialists who control the UN, the United States of America isn't a "shining city on a hill" -- it's an affront to their grand designs for the globe. These anti-gun globalists know that so long as Americans remain free to make our own decisions without being bossed around by big government bureaucrats, they'll NEVER be able to seize the worldwide power they crave. And the UN's apologists also know the most effective way to finally strip you and me of ALL our freedoms would be to DESTROY our gun rights. That's why I was so glad to hear that the National Association for Gun Rights is leading the fight to stop this assault on our Constitution! The truth is there's no time to waste. You and I have to be prepared for this fight to move FAST. The fact is the last thing the gun-grabbers at the UN and in Washington, D.C. want is for you and me to have time to mobilize gun owners to defeat this radical legislation. They've made that mistake before, and we've made them pay, defeating EVERY attempt to ram the UN Small Arms Treaty into law since the mid-1990s. But now time may not be on our side. In fact, we're likely to only have a few weeks to defeat the treaty when they make their move. And we definitely don't have a President in the White House who will oppose this treaty. So our ONE AND ONLY CHANCE to stop the UN Small Arms Treaty is during the ratification process in the U.S. Senate. As you know, it takes 67 Senate votes to ratify a treaty. With new pro-gun champions joining me in the Senate, rounding up enough votes to kill this thing should be easy, right? Unfortunately, that couldn't be further from the truth. Even with the Republican tidal wave in 2010, there still isn't a pro-gun majority in the Senate to kill ratification of the treaty. You know just as well as I do how few Senators are truly "pro-gun." Not only that, but many Senators get "queasy" about killing treaties for fear of "embarrassing" the President --especially with "international prestige" at stake. They look at ratifying treaties much like approving the President's Supreme Court nominees. Remember how many Senators turned their back on us and voted to confirm anti-gun Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor? A dozen more only voted against Sotomayor after receiving massive grassroots pressure from the folks back home. So if we're going to defeat the UN Small Arms Treaty gun owners have to turn the heat up on the U.S. Senate now before it's too late! Do you believe the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Second Amendment are the supreme law of the land? Do you believe any attempt by the United Nations to subvert or supersede your Constitutional rights must be opposed? If you said "Yes" to these questions, please sign the survey the National Association for Gun Rights has prepared for you. Your survey will put you squarely on the record AGAINST the UN Small Arms Treaty. And along with your signed survey, I hope you'll send a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or even just $35 to help finance this battle. With your generous contribution, the National Association for Gun Rights will continue contacting Second Amendment supporters to turn up the heat on targeted U.S. Senators. Not only that, but they're preparing a massive program to launch the second this treaty is brought before the Senate. Direct mail. Phones. E-mail. Blogs. Guest editorials. Press conferences. Hard-hitting internet, newspaper, radio and even TV ads if funding permits. The whole nine yards. Of course, a program of this scale is only possible if the National Association for Gun Rights can raise the money. But that's not easy, and we may not have much time. In fact, if gun owners are going to defeat the UN Small Arms Treaty pro-gun Americans like you and me have to get involved NOW! So please put yourself on record AGAINST the UN Small Arms Treaty by signing NAGR's Firearms Sovereignty Survey. But along with your survey, please agree to make a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or even just $35. And every dollar counts in this fight so even if you can only chip in $10 or $20, it will make a difference. Thank you in advance for your time and money devoted to defending our Second Amendment rights. For Freedom, Rand Paul United States Senator P.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced the Obama Administration will be working hand in glove with the United Nations to pass a new GLOBAL, "Small Arms Treaty." If we're going to defeat the UN Small Arms Treaty gun owners have to turn the heat up on the U.S. Senate now before it's too late! Please return your Firearms Sovereignty Survey and put yourself squarely on the record AGAINST ratification of the UN Small Arms Treaty. And if you can, please make a generous contribution to the National Association for Gun Rights of $250, $150, $100 or even just $35 right away! And every dollar counts in this fight so even if you can only chip in $10 or $20, it will make a difference.
Thanks for the heads up. I was unfamiliar with the groups and wasn't planning on donating anyway. Just figured it was worth sharing for att related info.
I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man. ~George Washington
The scope of the Convention is limited. It applies only to treaties concluded between states, so it does not cover agreements between states and international organizations or between international organizations themselves, though if any of its rules are independently binding on such organizations, they remain so. [5] It does apply, however, to treaties between states within an intergovernmental organization. [6] Agreements between states and international organizations, or between international organizations themselves, will be governed by the 1986 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties between States and International Organizations or Between International Organizations if it ever enters into force. Also, in treaties between states and international organizations, the terms of the Convention still apply between the state members. [5] The Convention does not apply to agreements not in written form. From wiki on the convention.
The problem with any ideas that the Treaty could not be applied to U.S. Citizens is that it creates normalcy in the discussion of arms regulation like limits on transportation of ammunition, number of guns you can possess, registration of firearms, permitting or owners, limits on transportation of private arms, etc. We do not want them gradually making it seem like it isn't a threat. That is how the citizens of the United States are lulled into thinking it's no big deal. Years from now, we will have swallowed all kinds of restrictions and our fellow , gun neutral, voters won't care enough to stand beside us in defense of the 2nd Ammendment. To their peril, we won't be ABLE to stand next to them in defense of the 1st Ammendment.

NetApp placeholder path length must not exceed 256 characters for deletion of archived files on placeholder deletion
Article:TECH155800 | | | Created: 2011-03-17 | | | Updated: 2013-07-22 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH155800 |
The following restriction applies to the deletion of archived files on placeholder deletion, for Enterprise Vault File System Archiving (FSA) with NetApp filer targets that run Data ONTAP 7.3.
For the successful deletion of an archived file after its placeholder is deleted, the path to the folder that contains the placeholder must not exceed 256 characters.
If the path exceeds 256 characters the file is not deleted, and an error appears in the NetApp syslog.
fpolicy.fscreen.request.pathError:error FPOLICY: Unable to apply file policy on (invalid or unknown path) requested by (Unknown)(): could not build path for use by a file screen server. Therefore no file screen server was notified of this client's request.
File System Archiving from a NetApp filer running Data ONTAP 7.3, with the deletion of archived files on placeholder deletion.
The path limit is due to a Network Appliance Data ONTAP 7.3 FPolicy restriction.
The path to a folder that contains placeholders must not exceed 256 characters if you want to use the 'delete archived file when placeholder is deleted' FSA feature with a NetApp filer that runs Data ONTAP 7.3.
The problem does not apply to archiving from NetApp filers that run a later version of Data ONTAP, where Enterprise Vault supports that version.
This issue has been addressed as part of the following release:

I know the smell well. The creek in my back yard is
also a rain run off conduit, and if it goes for a long period
without rain, as it did this summer, then, whew! the smell._________________________

Environmentalists want better planning
Updated: August 11, 2011, 7:44 PM ET
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO -- Conservation groups on Thursday called on city leaders to improve plans for reducing the environmental impact of events related to the America's Cup in 2013, when the world's fastest yachts will race on San Francisco Bay drawing millions to its famous shoreline.
City planners heard public comments Thursday afternoon on the 1,400-page draft environmental impact report outlining plans to protect water, air and land from pollution during the event's 50 days of racing.

Minnesota State Convention - May 18-19 - Open Thread
Submitted by cevans93 on Thu, 05/17/2012 - 15:49From May 18-19, the Minnesota State Convention will conduct business in St. Cloud and elect 13 at-large delegates to the national convention. On Friday, Congressmen Ron Paul will be speaking. For more information on that, see here: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2012/05/15/ron-paul-to-attend-min...
I found a Ustream page called "Minnesota State Convention" but I'm not sure if the whole thing will be streamed from here. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/minnesota-state-gop-convention
Let me know if anything needs to be updated.

Good Luck Minnesota !!!
We know you'll do everything you can. I'm nervous for you but also very hopeful. Part of me wishes it isn't ustreamed because if it is I'll be glued to it and not get much done today.
Maybe it will be a breeze! After all, The news says Romney has it all "sewn up" right? So no need for Romney people to show up at the convention. Better they should go shopping....or watch some TV. They can leave it to those whom are more dedicated to the process to complete the formalities. Bing Bang Boom! Ron Paul runs the room and wins all the delegates!
LOL anyway GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK!!!

Overview | Blog Posts | Discussions | People |
Today in 1942 Stephen Hawking was born in Britain. For those of you unfamiliar with Stephen Hawking he is a brilliant physicist who has been living with ALS for more than four decades. ALS is typically a fast-moving fatal disease that traps the individuals in their own body.
Of course the mainstream press Wired uses my pet peeve in describing Dr. Hawking "as wheelchair bound". Individuals who use wheelchairs as their mobility aids are not wheelchair bound! I am not duct tapped in my chair every morning. In my opinion the mainstream press typically covers two stories regarding individuals with disabilities. The press portrays individuals with disabilities as either people to be pitied as poor and unfortunate or as heroes for accomplishing the ordinary task of living. Regardless of the media type: television, newspapers, magazine or Internet article individuals with disabilities are often misrepresented. A simple course in people first language or disability awareness would dramatically improve how the press reports on individuals with disabilities. My wheelchair enables me to move through life independently. It's a high quality wheelchair that allows me to interact at different height levels (it has a seat elevator), as well as independently do weight shifts (for pressure relief). Using a wheelchair for mobility empowers me it should not be reported as something I am chained to. I wish the press would finally get this right, it's archaic and offensive. |

The author of 'The Hour I First Believed' talks about coping with bestseller stardom.
A number of years ago I came to believe that Wally Lamb was one of today's great storytellers. I knew of the hubbub surrounding his second Oprah Book Club novel, "I Know This Much Is True," and taking a chance, I cracked it open to see if it lived up to the hype. It did. Then I went back and read his first novel, "She's Come Undone." Again, the rave reviews were accurate. Now, in 2008, Lamb's third novel hits bookstores. Curiously titled, "The Hour I First Believed," the read is full of rich and complex characters and plenty of heart-wrenching storylines. It also uses Columbine High School in Colorado as a backdrop to the story. Quite simply, the book is pageturner. It chronicles a troubled couple, Caelum and Maureen Quirk, who both work for Columbine High School. Maureen is onsite the day the horrific shootings take place and the tale story follows the duo as they reel from the tragedy. GT recently caught up with Lamb, who heads to Bookshop Santa Cruz at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6.

This is a personal photographic account of a visit to Vietnam and Cambodia in the summer of 2010.
I hope it may serve to raise awareness of the terrible and very recent history of the Cambodian people and the current poverty, particularly in the countryside. Cambodia is beautiful, Angkor is stunning and the people are delightful. The photos can not do it justice.
"Vietnam is a nation - not a war."
A nation that has been transformed by the five year economic boom which has brought new wealth and increased personal choice to many, but the political choices remain unchanged.
Vietnam has a diverse, lush topography, with two vast deltas, mountains, tropical forests, a spectacular coastline and serene islands. The diversity is reflected in the people - it is home to 54 recognised ethnic groups. In addition to the scenic wealth, there is art and culture in many forms both ancient and modern and, of course, the food - a delight and an adventure.

Finally my Castle arrived!
This is the shot I've been wanting to do since I got Classics He-Man in my hands. I will probably re-do this shot quite a few times, and I'm sure the folks at Fwoosh who love light painting will do the same, so I had to get mine out there fast
By the Power of Grayskull!
Adding this. I did not do the "light paint" since I was using a laser and holding another light with my other hand, I will however do this again and paint with a green LED light to get it "right".
Edited again:
I don't think we've ever seen this before, King Grayskull himself!
Last Edit (I hope):
Can't seem to stop myself from taking these pictures now.
Can't have Castle Grayskull without Castle Grayskull Man!
Absolute last Edit:
One more before bed time. Tomorrow I'll probably start taking pictures of the inside.

Remai Modern will take over the collection of 7,700 works of art in the Mendel Collection, which has been supplemented by a $20 million collection of Picasso linocut prints donated by the Frank and Ellen Remai Foundation to Remai Modern. The Foundation also donated a further $30 million to the gallery, $15 million toward the construction cost and $15 million for future international programming. The combined donation is amongst the largest to an art gallery in Canadian history.
The new building is supported by all levels of government and, most importantly, by generous donors, including families and corporations. To date over $100 million has been pledged toward the cost of construction of the gallery, including an underground parking garage. Construction began in April 2013. The gallery's first Executive Director and CEO commenced duties the following month.

If you're anything like me, your initial reaction to Cris Cab's latest feature will be something like, "Hold up… didn't he learn not to run around behind his girl's last year, when the same damn thing happened?" Happily, no; rather than a fresh account of infidelity, Good Girls (Don't Grow on Trees) is a spruced-up version of Good Girls, a promo single that originally hit our front page back in spring 2011. While the overall theme, tune and structure of the Pharrell Williams-cowritten cut are retained, each element of the song has been tweaked for maximum impact. Originally on the mellow side, the record gets a shot of adrenaline courtesy of Wyclef Jean, who fortifies his original beat with a substantially stronger rhythm section, an expanded chorus arrangement and a string-fortified bridge. The other big addition to the record is G.O.O.D. Music spitter Big Sean, who tries to smooth-talk his way out of the situation in a breezy guest verse ("I know I don't deserve the Nobel Peace, but damn, I don't deserve the go-to-hell speech."), as well as adding to the catchiness with ad-libs throughout. Has Cris Cab succeeded in elevating the already-acclaimed jam into a surefire smash? As always, readers get the final say. Either way, keep your browsers locked to our pages for all the latest from the Miami-repping pop wunderkind.

Experts: Healthcare mandate delay may be illegal, but challenges unlikely
By Terry Baynes, Reuters
The Obama administration may have pushed the bounds of its legal authority by delaying the healthcare law requirement that certain employers provide coverage to full-time workers, but the move will be tough to challenge in court, according to legal experts.

AMA Request: Someone who has dressed up as Santa to listen to what kids wanted for Christmas (self.IAmA)
submitted 2 years ago by Clairenoel
If there is someone on Reddit who has been Santa before, here are my questions:
What is the craziest thing a kid has asked for?
What is your craziest experience with this overall, and how did you maintain your composure?
Have parents ever gotten angry at you because of something you told their child?
What was your reasoning for being Santa?
Does it get tiring dealing with so many kids for so long, or do you find it rewarding?
[–]mighty_adventurer 13 points14 points15 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I don't really have the time right now to do an AMA, but I can answer some of your questions.
I have been living in Mexico for the past five years. The first Christmas here I was asked by a man I met to be Santa at the school where his wife works.
I didn't have anything that would work as far as clothing, but he came up with everything. So I said what the heck and did it for him.
He picked me up in his Jeep with the top down and the looks we received on the way and back were incredible. At one intersection we stopped for a red light and an elderly woman came over, leaned into the my lap, hugged me tightly and cried. I gave her a few coins my friend handed me and she was so incredibly happy.
I did the school thing and the kids went crazy, screaming, jumping up and down and yanking on everything I was wearing. The kids were about 10-12 years old. I cannot stress enough about the importance of crowd control, or suspenders for the pants.
One girl marched up to me, announced to everyone I was fake and Santa did not exist. She then reached up, grabbed a handful of beard and gave it a sharp yank.
I yelped and she screamed and then threw herself around my leg, laughing and crying that I was real and how she loved me.
It is crazy, fun, intense and exhausting all at the same time. For a three hour party it is typical for me to lose eight to ten pounds of water weight and my clothing is drenched.
I have two sets of clothes now and I built a sleigh that will seat six adults. And the irony of a sleigh in Mexico didn't escape me. Sometimes people come up and just sit in the sleigh even if I am busy with something else.
The second year I went to some orphanages, and the kids loved it. I had my picture taken with them individually and as a group, then handed out presents that were donated by locals.
Last year at one of the orphanages, the director came up to me and said when she was told that Santa was coming to visit she didn't believe it. Then the day arrived and when she answered the door, she said she was stunned.
She said she was so happy I came and spent the afternoon with the kids and she was so sorry her English was so bad, then she broke down and started crying.
I haven't really had any crazy experiences, though here two of my favorites:
A young woman of about 13-14 that came up to me with her friends and announced she didn't believe in Santa.
Without missing a beat I told her that was okay, Santa didn't believe in her either.
She was rocked, and quite flustered and said, "But I am right here!"
I smiled and winked at her friends and said, "So am I."
She walked away sputtering and didn't know what to say after that. But later she came up and gave me a hug.
The other happened at a large party with over 35 children and their parents, a large family gathering. I sat and told them a Christmas story and during question and answers, yes, I had to study and make certain I knew about Santa. I am always asked what the reindeer's names are. This time one of the kids asked how I decided who received a present.
I responded by saying they had to be good and to believe in Santa.
Then it was time to hand out presents. I would call out their name, they would come and sit on my lap and their parents would take photos.
After about twenty names I called one and no one moved. I called again and there was a bit of a tussle in the back and I stood to see what was the problem.
Several people were pushing a man my direction and he was trying to leave the party. Finally the people pushing him my way won and I sat back down.
The kids were laughing and pointing and he was looking pretty grumpy when he stood in front of me, holding out his hand for the present.
I patted my knee and indicated he needed to sit for a photo.
He didn't like it at all, but the family pressure was too great and he sat. Photos were taken and he bolted.
I learned later he is known as being a bit of a grinch. Everyone had a good laugh that he believed in Santa.
And now I have started I can think of a dozen more stories.
No parent has ever gotten upset with me, but at one school some parents wanted me to go to the school director did. Some of the parents wanted him to meet me before he made up his mind. Right off the director vetoed the idea telling us Christmas is about Christ and that Santa was changing the focus of the holiday.
It riled me a bit as it was quite obvious he had made up his mind already and I responded that I felt the Santa message was about giving, but that was okay as the church was not about that, right?
And he said quite forcefully, "Right!"
Then he said, "Wait, no, that is not what I meant."
But the damage was already done and after the meeting the parents told me sorry about wasting my time, and how they thought it was pretty funny about how he responded to me.
When a parent plops a kid onto my lap and the kid starts crying, they just pick kid up and give them comfort. They look at me, shrug and we both move on.
Sometimes kids get really excited and piddle on me, so I have pads with a lining in it to keep my leg dry.
I haven't been asked for anything crazy, pretty run-of-the-mill items actually. What did surprise me is about a third of the kids don't ask for anything at all, they just want to be with Santa, just sit on my knee with their arms around me and just be with me.
Lots of tears, lots of laughter, incredible amount of joy. sometimes I take my SO with me and she has a great time too.
If I am to hand out presents I make certain there is a toy for every child there, without exception. Twice I have sent people out to get another toy because of a shortage, before I would make an appearance.
And it is incredibly rewarding, one of the best things I have ever done. For hours after an event my feet don't touch the ground.
And despite the rewards, the grief of having long hair and a beard for the rest of the year is a real PITA. Every year I say it will be my last, and every year I do it again.
And sometimes during the course of the year I will see a kid look at me and miss a step. They will grab their parents leg and start tugging frantically. The parent bends and inquires as to the issue and the kid points my direction and tells them to look at Santa.
The parent will glance my way, tell their kid it is just a fat, old man with a long beard and to go on about their business.
Then when the parent isn't looking I will look directly at the kid, smile and put my finger up to my lips and make a shh sound, this is a secret and a big wink.
Most of the time with kid's eyes will pop and then they will nod and smile.
Best wishes and Merry Christmas.
[–]Clairenoel[S] 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Thanks for taking the time to share! Especially that last part about the wink made me smile :)
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I've done it once, I'm a grumpy 21 year old and 185 pounds. Needless to say I did a shitty job. But one little girl did tell me I wasn't the real Santa but thanks for trying. It was sweet.
The real reason I own the suit is for snow skiing at Christmas time. Now that's awesome! Everyone is your best friend. I'm in countless family pictures. People will carol on ski lifts while I go under! Coolest thing ever.
My favorite story is when a very serious 10 year old skied up to me, looked me dead in the eye, and asked "so you're Santa huh"? Yeah kid I am hohoho! "I'm Jewish..." Then he skied away.

Priceless. I can't stop laughing!

How do you feel when a young child cries to sit on your lap? I've always wondered this.
[–]JRezR 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Wait.... You mean that WASN'T santa?
[–]Odd-One-Out 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
When I was 5, the guy who was meant to be Santa at the kids club that I attended was ill. The club organisers asked my dad to step in to be Santa (my dad is Chinese), he obliged and I knew nothing of this. Fast forward to the day where I'm at the kids club and it's time to give out the presents to each child; my dad bellows a heart ho-ho-ho and calls up each kid one by one to give them their present. I'm deaf so I didn't really recognise my dad's voice, but I noticed that under the Santa outfit, he was wearing that grey jumper he always wears at home. I immediately called him out in front of everybody and it was priceless seeing the horrified faces of all the kids when they realised that Santa wasn't real!
TL;DR When I was 5yo, I found out my dad was Santa and called him out in front of everyone.
[–]freedomcaller 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Seems like this question is answered pretty well, but i have a friend that did it at macy's for many years. I think one of the elfs he worked with wrote a book on it. I can bug him to do this if there is demand...
