Step 1: Add a Switch In Line
Now I can turn the gollerblades on and off.
Step 2: Replace the Wire Brush with a Urethane Wheel
First, I drilled out the center of the wheel to make it fit over the threads of the angle grinder.
I also bought an angle grinder nut to hold it on - they're a little pricy. I could alternatively have salvaged the nut from the wire brush.
The wheel had a curvature that prevented any threads from being exposed above it, so I flattened it a bit with a hammer.
Also, I noticed that if the wheel wasn't pressing against ground, it tended to stretch and fly off the wheel quite a bit.
As you can see, the urethane deforms a lot.
Fortunately, this wasn't a problem.
Step 3: Use Bicycle Innertube for Lashing
Step 4: Film Yourself [video]
Motorized roller-hockey?
The switch was definitely wonderful to have, the bike tubes quite convenient.
On the other hand, I learned that urethane grips less-well than a wire brush,. Also, with the actual wheel, I did not go as fast as I did with the wire brush. Possibly a bigger, heftier wheel would do the trick - or I'll just stick to the wire brush.
Can you upload a better video though? one thats not in the dark so we can see how to stand when using etc.
Thanks for making this by the way =]

Cherry Hill East has yet to play anyone in the top 7, and aren't scheduled to play anyone in match play. Lets hope they are invited to the Super Six and accept! Right now it is between Southern and them for the #1 seed in the South section......Southern having played a far tougher schedule( only losses to St. Joes and Old Bridge) and will play all of the top teams multiple times! Being undefeated should not be a reason to be considered top seed, unless you have played "some" quality opponents.

The exhibition "Harlem 1970-2009: Photographs by Camilo José Vergara," opens at the New-York Historical Society on April 30, but you can see Vergara's photos anytime at his "Invincible Cities" website. The Chilean-born photographer's multi-decade project is an important contribution to the way we think about urban architecture, and a treasure trove for those whose only image of New York in the 1970s comes from a grainy print of The French Connection.
Starting in 1977, Vergara, who was awarded a MacArthur Foundation genius grant in 2002, has documented the facades, interiors, and streetscapes of numerous American cities, but the website encompasses only three -- Harlem, NY; Richmond, CA; and Camden, NJ. As the buildings age from era to era, they lose their 19th century details and gain and drop signage along the way, while the cities that surround them crumble and swell in concert with the economy.
Vergara's site is chock-full of academic text and an interactive design complex enough that the landing pages offer unsolicited instructions on how to use its tools. The use of mapping allows visitors to scan images according to geographic location as well as the type of photograph (panoramic, street view, detail, etc). But you can also take a simple approach just by diving straight into the photos. When you first click on the Harlem, NY database, you'll get a view of 65 East 125 St. as it looked every couple of years from 1977 through 2007, morphing from a funky gin-joint called the "Purple Manor" to a generic, shuttered mattress store today. (Be sure to click through to the full-size images, and be amazed at how old-school film can be digitally translated.) Select any of the tiny squares on the Harlem map to move around the neighborhood and examine its transformation from many angles and distances.
While Vergara's stated goal for the Invincible Cities project is to document the fall and rise of what he calls the "American ghetto," it's also a collection of stunning photos that practice the best kind of architectural history. As with people, what these buildings have gone through over their long, storied lives is written all over their faces.
All images from Camilo José Vergara's website.

Yes Magazine: Made in America is seeing a major comeback in old industrial cities: New York City and San Francisco.

Memphis man gets 15 years for robbing same store twice
Anthony Delane Johnson went to the well at least once too often.
After robbing the Circle K market at 5755 Raleigh LaGrange Road on Feb. 23 last year, he robbed it again two weeks later on March 7 and pistol-whipped an employee.
Johnson was arrested the next day, pleaded guilty to federal robbery and firearms charges in August and now this week he was sentenced to 15 years in prison by U.S. Dist. Judge S. Thomas Anderson.The federal sentence will begin in 2015 when the state sentence he is serving for two unrelated robbery convictions expires.

Updated: 08/20/2013 7:16 AM KSTP.com By: Ellen Galles
It's back-to-school time, but more and more kids are staying home.
According to the Minnesota Department of Education more than 16,000 kids across the state were homeschooled last year. That's three times the number of kids who were homeschooled 20 years ago.
Some parents have adopted the trend for religious reasons, while others say it gives them more flexibility or more of a chance to specialize in a certain topic.
Lorinda Donaldson of Eden Prairie is homeschooling all 10 of her kids, ranging in age from 1-year-old to 19-years-old.
She says there are a lot of resources out there to help her, from DVDs to online classes to homeschool co-ops. "It lets you flex with your child's interests and your family's interests. It becomes a lifestyle," Donaldson said.
Donaldson's oldest is about to start at Northwestern College in St. Paul next week; he'll start as a freshman but has enough credits to be considered a junior.
The state requires that homeschooled kids take at least one standardized test a year.

Correction: *every single guy he killed* should have read: every single Teamster killed. One of the victims was Management.
Thorton didn't understand the meaning of seniority. The longer one is at the job, the higher up he gets on the list of seniority. The guys who are there 20, 30 or 35 years are on the top of the list. Those drivers get the pick of the easy routes and they usually only work 4 hrs a day, but getting paid for a full day. Thorton couldn't grasp this fact. Every single guy he killed also was at the bottom of the list at one time, when they had 1 year in as driver like Thorton had. They also, like him got the crap routes and the longer hours. This is how it works and has worked. Nothing to do with racism.
As for him being a thief. He was selling beer from his delivery truck. The tape shows him stopping his truck and putting product into a waiting car. More than once. That is theft. Obviously he didnt know that drivers can be followed and taped if any wrong doing is going on. Even the best union rep couldn't get him out of that one.
Thorton was psychotic and just used the race card to justify his need to kill humans. He is a mass murderer. No justification for that. But all murderers have an excuse handy. He wanted the best routes and 4 hr days like the old timers. He didnt have the senority and takes his jealousy and hatred out on the drivers who were at the top of the seniority list.
Do you personally know any of the drivers? Did you personally know Bryan? Obviously you didnt, because if you did you would know how fair he was to any and all the Teamsters of Local 1035. Make sure you know the facts before you post.
There was racism at Budweiser that day for sure. But it was in Omar, not in the innocent people he gunned down in cold blood.

Discussion in 'Liverpool' started by el-capitano, Nov 12, 2012.
vs 17 Nov 2012, KO: 15:00
i was just about to do this. i had the crests and times ready and everything.
this moves us into a group of very winnable games coming up that we can hopefully take advantage of and move up the table.
wigan home
swansea away
spurs away
southhampton home
west ham away
villa home
stoke away
QPR away
sunderland home
only one match in that stretch against the 'top 6' and four against the relegation candidates. these will take us through the 'festive period' and into the january window, where we will then play the mancs on Jan 13th.
The early bird gets the worm, the hot chick and the credit.
Let's do this shit!
Lets see what Whelan has to say.
This is a must 3 points
In. MUST WIN.
Will we have to hear about how Roberto Martinez turned down LFC for the privilege of managing Wigan again? Or will Whelan come up with something even more inane?We could all use the comedy relief.
This Ausie time or what...?
How do you get the crest'mathings
Google is a wonderful thing..
next match section.
Just give away everything why don't ya?
Suarez, Suarez, Suarez

Got lots here mate. http://www.logoguru.co.uk/blog/history-epl-club-logos/
And you can always find some fun additions on line. Better than the boring selection these lazy mods put up....Oops..
That's what worries me. We have a knack of losing the winnable games and drawing the tough matches.
very, very true. i do think these can be a good barometer on our development under rodgers. it seems we've managed to turn the loses into draws. hopefully, in this stretch, we can start to turn the draws into wins. three of our 'bogey' teams in there, though -- villa, stoke, wigan.
We've had a winnable stretch of games a lot of the most recent "Holiday Stretches." Everyone expects to us to get X points from Y games.
I just hope we're in 10th by Jan 1.
terrible cliche - but this team, if any, needs to focus on the upcoming game, and that one only.
Appropriate cliche.
Here's another cliche: Hopefully the folks in Anfield treat each game like a cup final. During similar stretches in the past the atmosphere in the stadium has seemed to be one of comfort and inevitability that we'll win. Then panic when that doesn't happen. And then ultimately frustration.
Things have been different this season as expectations have been managed. But the players are tired at this time of year and they need to be able to draw on energy from within Anfield. And the referees need to be influenced. And the opposing players need to be intimidated.
Another cliche, one to get rid of. "We always have problems with Wigan."
The loss to Wigan in 2009, which effectively ended our title chances, ranks among the most gut-wrenching I've experienced in my sports fandom career. I quite literally got sick from it.
So yeah, let's beat Wigan from now on.
I assume you mean the January draw? We didn't lose to them in 09. I donno I still attribute our failure to win the title that year to the inexcusable loss @ Middlesbrough and the highly entertaining but extremely disappointing 4-4 home draw to Arsenal in the midst of the epic end of season run.
Ha, the fact that I remember it as a loss should tell you everything. It was a late penalty that Lucas conceded, right? Then Rodallega came on and blasted one from about 35 yards out that rattled the woodwork.
And that Arsenal game was so ridiculous. It was basically Arshavin + 10 guys trying to kick the ball out of bounds. It's too bad Arshavin scored four goals. Yossi equalized late - how good was he that year? Still fond memories of that guy.
Arshavin's no-stride lasers that night made it seem like he was capable of missiling goalward any ball he was dribbling. What a buy by Arsenal!
Separate names with a comma.

Created by the Think, Plan Create Clan as a part of our instructables sponsorship guide.
Step 1: Materials
* 2x headphone ports
* An old pair of headphones
* A tic tac container
* A lighter
* a wire stripper
* An awl
* Hot glue Gun (with glue)
Step 2: Preparation
To prepare your headphones, cut the wires about 3 inches away from the jack. Pull apart the two wires and strip each one using your wire strippers. Inside should be a colored wire and a copper wire. To make the wires easier to deal with, burn the ends using your lighter. Now you should have 4 burnt non-insulated wires.

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 7, 2004 Mary E. Lacey, a self-described "people person," is the lead official supervising the overhaul of the personnel system for the Defense Department's 700,000 civilian employees.
An engineer by training, Lacey boasts 31 years as a career Navy civilian employee who has worked on the development of a wide variety of sophisticated weapons systems. Most recently she served as the technical director of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, in Washington, D.C. In her career she has risen through the civilian personnel system, from a GS-2 intern to a member of the Senior Executive Service.
Now Lacey "will lead the comprehensive policy and program management office that will complete the design, planning assessment, and implementation" of the National Security Personnel System, Secretary of the Navy and NSPS Senior Executive Gordon England noted in a May 24 DoD press release.
"I've been in the research and development arena for most of my career," Lacey said during a June 2 interview with American Forces Press Service. She noted she's had extensive experience in designing systems.
And NSPS "is a system," Lacey observed, noting that she also "has a reputation for being a real 'people person.' I'm very passionate about people."
Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer praised Lacey's capabilities in a May 24 news release about the constituent from his district, noting her "impressive leadership ability and unmatched expertise in her field."
Hoyer also stated he had "no doubt" that Lacey "will be able to use her substantial experience and valuable insight to ensure that our robust civilian workforce has the tools and resources they need to continue the important work they are doing to protect our nation."
This isn't the first time DoD has examined changing its civilian personnel system, Lacey pointed out, noting that some installations under her purview in her previous position have run pilot personnel system transformation programs for the past three to four years.
"That has given me a lot of experience to understand what really works and what doesn't work," she explained.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld had asked England to oversee the implementation of NSPS, one of the defense secretary's key transformation goals. Lacey, the NSPS Program Executive Officer, reports to England.
Rumsfeld has often cited the need to change the way DoD manages its civilian workforce, noting the current personnel system is outdated and inflexible in light of the military restructuring brought about by the end of the Cold War and new requirements necessitated by the war on global terrorism.
The specifics of NSPS are unknown at this time, Lacey said. "We are changing," she noted. However, she cited the need to obtain workforce input and to keep employees informed as the process advances.
"We are going to do everything we can," Lacey vowed, to communicate with DoD's civilian workforce and to "keep them informed" on NSPS issues. "We're going to keep the information flow open," she asserted.
Lacey emphasized that it's also important to solicit opinions from organized labor. To help do that, she noted she's scheduled to attend a meeting today with union officials. Representatives from the 41 unions that represent DoD civilian personnel have been invited to the meeting being hosted by DoD and the Office of Personnel Management.
England said Lacey "is the right person" to lead the NSPS team. "We have selected a leader with proven expertise both in managing large workforces and in leading and sustaining that workforce for new challenges," he stated in the press release. "Mary Lacey has the experience, recognition and respect of the Department's leadership and its workforce."

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning By Operating Your Heating Sources Correctly
If you hear this sound, you should get to fresh air immediately and call 911. This is a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that is generally a byproduct of incomplete combustion. Captain Vince Baldwin of the Presque Isle Fire Department says if you have been exposed to the gas, there are some symptoms.
"Headaches, a light one with some dizziness. You might have some nausea. Little bit more severe you might have some vomiting along with it. If you have a high dose of carbon monoxide, immediately it could lead to being unconscious, and to death," says Baldwin.
As temperatures drop, people operate their furnaces, wood stoves and even generators. Baldwin says its important to operate them correctly.
"When a furnace malfunctions, the system will expel that carbon monoxide into the environment. Also, generators being used right now at times when you are out of power, they produce carbon monoxide,"says Baldwin.
Many people make the mistake of putting their generators indoors.
"You want to make sure you have these generators outside in a ventilated air space. Not in your home, not in your garage. Also, far enough away so that if you have a window that happens to be open, or an intake, you want to make sure that carbon monoxide isn't near the intake," says Baldwin.
Baldwin recommends that you should have your furnace serviced by a licensed professional every year, and if you operate a wood stove or run a generator, you want to make sure those are serviced properly as well. Another thing to keep in mind is keeping your chimney clean. Baldwin says these simple tips will keep you and your family warm and safe this winter.

Copies of HB 3400 and SB 460 have been added to the Rules page. The How to Apply instructions have been updated with new residency requirements due to HB 3400. A new page has also been added with information on the process for local governments to opt out of allowing medical marijuana dispensaries or processing sites, as allowed under HB 3400.
New questions and answers have been added to the beginning of the Frequently Asked Questions page in response to inquiries related to July 1 legalization.
As of June 12, the Medical Marijuana Dispensary Program has approved 310 dispensary applications. >> See the directory of approved dispensaries.
Please note that there is a new Transfer Authorization Form available for download. The new version is based on participant feedback and should be easier to understand.
Effective January 28, 2015, the Medical Marijuana Dispensary Program Oregon Administrative Rules have been updated. The new rules make a number of changes which affect dispensary operation requirements. Please see the Rules page for details.
Please also note that the application process for dispensary registration has changed for applications submitted on or after January 28. Please read the How to Apply page carefully before applying. Applications received before January 28 will be processed under the previous set of rules. Please contact the Dispensary Program if you have any questions.
Our online application system has been updated. Please see the How to Apply page for details.
The law requires the Oregon Health Authority to develop and implement a process to register medical marijuana facilities, which must be located on property zoned for commercial, industrial, mixed use or agriculture uses only. The issue of whether a local government believes a certain type of business should operate within one of these zones is a local government decision.
On March 19, 2014, Senate Bill 1531 was signed into law. SB 1531 gives local governments the ability to impose certain regulations and restrictions on the operation of medical marijuana dispensaries, including the ability to impose a moratorium for a period of time up until May 1, 2015. The law also authorized the Oregon Health Authority to issue refunds upon request to dispensary applicants whose facilities are located in an area that falls under a moratorium. This is no longer the case as under SB 1531 local governments may not impose moratoria past May 1, 2015.
Read the list of cities and counties that enacted a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries. The Medical Marijuana Dispensary Program was last notified by a city or county of changes to this list on 5/21/14.

Calvin Pryor suffered the first concussion of the NFL season. And it didn't even take another team to do it.
Pryor, a "hard-hitting safety" and the first-round pick of the New York Jets, sustained a concussion in the Jets' first contact practice back on July 26.
The team said he had a concussion. Pryor had a different self-diagnosis.
" Minor Setback…no concussion & I'll be back in no time," Pryor posted to Instagram.
Pryor then proceeded to miss the next two weeks.
So far in the NFL preseason, Pryor and thirty-four other players have been diagnosed with or been reported to have concussions, according to the @NFLConcussions Twitter feed. (The NFLConcussions feed has been tracking head injuries across the league for several years, and has emerged as an authoritative source.)
And remember: The actual number of concussions is undoubtedly higher, experts say. Players competing for roster spots aren't likely volunteering their symptoms, and teams aren't obligated to make weekly reports to the league yet.

Meanwhile, thirty-five preseason concussions is just the start. If past trends hold true, the NFL will likely report 200-plus total concussions by the end of this season.
The early headcount is revealing, in more ways than one.
First, it's a reminder of how many head injuries in the NFL happen out of the limelight, in practice, and especially as players work themselves into shape.
Tellingly, there were at least 16 concussions before any team had even played a preseason game.
(That's up slightly since last year, when there were 14 concussions in the NFL's first week of training camp, the man who operates @NFLConcussions told me.)
It's also an indicator of how NFL media coverage is changing. Thanks to social media and local reporters paying attention to head injuries, it's that much easier to track concussions now, according to Dustin Fink, the proprietor of The Concussion Blog.
And Pryor's insistence that he was fine — when he clearly wasn't — illustrates the reality of the NFL. A league where head injuries are part of the game, especially compared to baseball and basketball.
There have already been more concussions in three weeks of NFL preseason practices and games than in last year's entire NBA and MLB seasons — combined.
Many players still hide or publicly disavow their symptoms, especially when they're trying to make a roster…and a sport built around large, athletic men running into each other means there's no special protection for recently concussed players.
Notably, Pryor is slated to make his NFL preseason debut on Saturday — and based on the brutal tackles he's been doling out in practice, Coach Rex Ryan expects he'll be as hard-hitting as ever.

2009-10 All-SSC Women's Basketball Team Announced
Eighteen student-athletes were named to the 2009-10 All-Sunshine State Conference Women's Basketball Team, announced Thursday by Commissioner Jay Jones. Barry's Mariesa Greene was selected Player of the Year. Tampa's Caitlyn Mitryk was chosen Defensive Player of the Year. Tampa's Tom Jessee was tabbed Coach of the Year, and Lynn's Kira Harvey was named Freshman of the Year.
Voting for the all-conference women's basketball team was conducted among the league's head coaches and sports information directors.
Joining Greene as All-SSC First Team selections were: Tiara Cook (Tampa), Chelsea Johnson (Florida Southern), Gianna Messina (Tampa), and Lynisha Nelson (Florida Tech).
Earning All-SSC Second Team honors were: Brittainy Daiger (Rollins), Dominique Daniels (Saint Leo), Michaela Hawley (Florida Southern), Ashley Lutz (Eckerd), and Chelsea Patterson (Lynn).
Florida Southern's Megan Dzikas and Mitryk earned honorable mention.
An All-Freshman team was also selected. Earning recognition along with Harvey were: Tilde Ahlin (Barry), Rheisa Burke (Nova Southeastern), Tera McDaniel (Rollins), Amanda Schultz (Lynn), and Kamari Smith (Tampa).
A senior from Indianapolis, Ind., Greene led the SSC in both scoring (19.1 ppg) and rebounding (10.7 rpg). She also ranked first in the league with a .610 field goal percentage and fifth with 1.3 blocks per contest. She amassed double-double performances in 18 games this season, including a superb 32 point/25 rebound effort in the Buccaneers' 62-57 win over Florida Tech on Jan. 13. Greene's 25 rebounds were the highest single-game total of any SSC player this season. She was named SSC Player of the Week for times.
A senior from Lake Mary, Fla., Mitryk averaged 7.7 points and 5.4 rebounds for Tampa. She ranked second in the conference with an average of 1.8 blocks per game, helping UT to lead the league with an average of 4.5 per outing. Mitryk was a contributor on a Spartan defense that was the stingiest in the SSC, limiting league opponents to an average of 52.9 points per game.
Jessee earns Coach of the Year honors for the second time in his tenure at Tampa. He also garnered the distinction in 2003. This season, Jessee's Spartans rolled to a 25-3 overall record and a 14-2 conference slate. His club boasted the toughest defense in the league, holding SSC opponents to an average of 52.9 points per game. The Spartans were equally formidable on the offensive end of the floor, ranking second in the conference with 67.1 points per contest. Leading the league in 10 different statistical categories, UT beat its SSC foes by an average of 14.2 points per game. The Spartans are currently ranked No. 16 in the latest USA Today/ESPN coaches poll.
A native of Ft. Lauderdale, Harvey immediately made her way into the starting rotation at Lynn, recording 24 starts in 27 games. She was the team's second leading scorer, averaging 10.1 points per contest. Her .780 free throw percentage was also second best among Fighting Knight players. Harvey averaged 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.

Kent Miners' Festival promises to be bigger and better than ever before.
It takes place on Monday (August 25) at Tilmanstone Welfare Ground, Adelaide Road, Eythorne, from 10am till 5pm.
Gary Cox, chairman of the Kent Miners' Festival said: "With free admission, the festival gives something back to the people who live within our surrounding communities, offering music, displays and activities for all members of the family, young and old, to enjoy."
The heritage teams from across the four Kent Collieries have been working hard all year to put together a special mining exhibition.
This includes a commemoration of the mining community in the First World War.
There will be boxing, football, stalls, a fun fair, crafts and delicious food on offer.
A Circus Arts Workshop will also be available to entertain as well as a Fun Dog Show.
The Charity and Health Marquee will provide information about the work of local organisations and the services on offer as well as health information.
"My committee would like to thank Hadlow College for being this year's main sponsor and are pleased to say that Hadlow's Mark Lumden-Taylor will be opening the festival this year for us.
"Thanks also to DDC Level one funding, U.N.I.T.E and several branches for sponsoring the Heritage Marquee, ASLEF, Sussex LLC, and Thompsons Solicitors, have all been generous sponsors and without their support this free community festival would not take place.
"We are also extremely grateful for the support from the Sittingbourne EMUS, Beech Grove Community, Tilmanstone Salads and many other local groups and individuals from around the villages of Tilmanstone, too many to mention all.
"All we need now is for you all to come along and enjoy a fantastic family day out."

A lot of things went right for the Brandywine boys basketball team in the third quarter Monday.
But it all went wrong for the Bulldogs in the fourth. They scored just five points and lost to Strath Haven of Wallingford, Pa., 48-44 in the Concord Classic. The one-day holiday event featured seven games that raised funds for Coaches vs. Cancer.
Brandywine (7-4) hit 46.7 percent of its shots in the first three quarters but only made 2 of 14 (14.3 percent) in the final period. That allowed Strath Haven (12-5) to erase a three-point deficit. ...

For part of his final thesis at Bauhaus-University in Weimar, German, Martin Lihs built the Wiispray, a reconstructed Wiimote controller hacked into a spray-paint can -- graffiti-games ahoy!
Although still early in the development process, it suggests another type of game platform and a fresh twist on the tired "art" app. The success of custom controllers for specific titles suggests that gamers are interested in a more realistic interaction than permitted by a standard joypad. Lihs plans to integrate a communal wall for collaborative graffiti in the eventual software title, that would allow 'players' to work on the same art project.Link (via Engadget!)

commit fca8f6a0327fb3e1d353e97efcec2145e05e8f41 Author: Matthew Dillon <email@example.com> Date: Fri Jul 29 01:25:46 2011 -0700 kernel - Fix rare IPIQ freezes * Ensure that an IPI interrupt is sent went waiting for an IPIQ to drain. The IPIQ can be pushed up by passive IPIs and not necessarily have a signal pending on the target cpu, so we have to put the check in our drain loop rather than outside the loop. * Add a cpu_pause() to reduce power use for the IPIQ drain case. * Normalize the use of gd_intr_nesting_level and clean up the code syntax for the ipiq_optimized case. * Remove the previous temporary IPI interrupt signaling fix, it was incomplete. * Fix a missing crit_exit() in the ENOENT case for lwkt_send_ipiq3_nowait(). * Track cpu's which are in the middle of ipiq processing and assert that a cpu is not in an IPIQ processing loop when switching between threads. * Normalize the use of ip->ip_npoll in the IPIQ code. This field is used to avoid unnecessary IPI interrupts.

Kids Halloween party ideas
This is the season to make your children happy. For some fresh Halloween party ideas, take a look here. Become.com has on offer some wonderful DIY party ideas. With these ideas, you can keep kids engaged and make sure they have a rip-roaring, fun Halloween.
Skull decorations
Simple-to-execute ideas can save you heaps of time and energy. Get the kids to make their own skull decorations. Younger kids can make string decorations with skulls and spiders. Cut out shapes of skulls and spiders like in the Skull & Spider string decoration. Cut the shapes out and stick on to colored cardboard and attach to strings. They can also make skulls with Styrofoam and paper or make a Glitter Skull.
Sock spider
An easy and fun way to make a sock spider will excite children and keep them engaged. Use easily available materials like black socks for the body, pipe cleaners for the legs with round, googly eyes and some glue. Then just hang them up from a window or door. You can also create a spooky mood with a Halloween Spider center piece. Use the sock spiders along with some balloon ribbons for a scary effect.
Pumpkin carving stencils
You can go wild with pumpkin ideas. Pumpkin Carving kits that are available on Become.com can help kids make their own Jack-o-Lanterns. But some adult supervision and help will be necessary as the kit comes with 3 carving tools, 10 stencils and a scoop. A carved pumpkin, well decorated looks good as a table centerpiece too. Or you can choose a Bethany Lowe "Games & Stunts" Halloween pumpkin that comes with a pompom and sparkling stars.
Painted pumpkins
Kids generally love dabbling in art work. Get them to stick different shaped stickers and then paint the pumpkin fully in black. Slowly remove stickers and hey presto! You've got designs and patterns on your pumpkin. Paper pumpkins can also be made by cutting pumpkin shapes out of white card stock and stuck together with glue for a big fat pumpkin.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch meticulously planned his own funeral, but his tombstone has the wrong birth date.
NBC 4 New York reported Monday that the headstone lists his birth year as 1942 instead of 1924.
The engraver, Tommy Flynn, of Flynn Funeral and Cremation Memorial Services, says it was "an inadvertent error" and that he feels "terrible." He says he'll correct it.
Koch was buried in Trinity Church cemetery in Washington Heights after dying of congestive heart failure in February at 88.
The Democratic mayor is credited with helping save New York from its economic crisis in the 1970s and leading it to financial rebirth.
