Cut-Resistant Glove Selection and Use
Safety Program:
Be Interested In:
Although there are no OSHA standards that specifically address cut-resistant gloves, 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.132 and 1910.138 do apply to hand protection.
1910.132 addresses protective equipment in general:
1910.132(a): "Application. Protective equipment, including personal protective equipment for eyes, face, head, and extremities, protective clothing, respiratory devices, and protective shields and barriers, shall be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards of processes or environment, chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or physical contact."
1910.138 applies specifically to hand protection:
1910.138(a): "General requirements. Employers shall select and require employees to use appropriate hand protection when employees' hands are exposed to hazards such as those from skin absorption of harmful substances; severe cuts or lacerations; severe abrasions; punctures; chemical burns; thermal burns; and harmful temperature extremes."
1910.138(b): "Selection. Employers shall base the selection of the appropriate hand protection on an evaluation of the performance characteristics of the hand protection relative to the task(s) to be performed, conditions present, duration of use, and the hazards and potential hazards identified."
Cut-resistant gloves are designed to protect hands from direct contact with sharp edges such as glass, metal, ceramics and other materials. Cut resistance is a function of a glove's material composition and thickness. You can increase the level of cut protection by increasing material weight (i.e., ounces per square yard); by using high-performance materials such as Dyneema®, Kevlar®, etc.; or by using composite yarns made with varying combinations of stainless steel, fiberglass, synthetic yarns and high-performance yarns.
Performance characteristics are not only affected by a material's weight, but also by the coatings applied to the outside surface. Lighter-weight styles offer more dexterity, resulting in less hand fatigue, while their heavier counterparts generally provide more cut and abrasion protection. Coated gloves enhance grip, especially on slippery surfaces. However, some coated gloves may not be appropriate for food handling applications.
Cut-resistant fibers and materials include, but are not limited to:
- Dyneema®: A super-strong polyethylene fiber that offers maximum strength combined with minimum weight. It is up to 15 times stronger than quality steel and up to 40% stronger than aramid fibers, both on a weight-for-weight basis. Dyneema® floats on water and is extremely durable and resistant to moisture, ultraviolet light and chemicals.
- Kevlar®Aramid Fiber: A synthetic polyamide that is five times stronger than steel per unit weight. Inherently flame resistant, it begins to char at 800°F (427°C). The thread made of Kevlar® fiber is used to sew seams on temperature-resistant gloves.
- Kevlar® gloves offer cut and heat resistance. Typically, it is a lightweight and flexible material used for many applications relating to automotive assembly, sheet metal handling and glass handling.
- Fiber-Metal Blends: Many durable, abrasion-resistant gloves are made of a woven fabric blend of Kevlar® and stainless steel.
- Metal Mesh: Interlocked stainless steel mesh offers superior cut and abrasion protection due to its strength.
- Metal mesh gloves are very cut and abrasion resistant and are often used in meat/poultry applications.
- Super Fabric: Combinations of the number of layers, thickness, substrates, surface coatings, etc., lead to fabrics that have varying levels of puncture, cut and abrasion resistance, grip and flexibility. Tactile surfaces offer improved grip of wet and oily surfaces.
- Steel Core: Cut and abrasion resistant and are often used for meat/poultry processing, glass handling, metal fabrication, automotive manufacturing as well as being used in the paper industry.
There are many different glove materials in the market that have a variety of performance characteristics and are used for a variety of different applications.
Although the above materials are known to provide excellent cut resistance, any glove material will provide some measure of cut resistance. DuPont Personal Protection performed a Cut Protection Performance Test (CPPT) comparing leather, cotton and Kevlar®. Kevlar® outperformed the cotton, which in turn outperformed the leather.
The ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 "American National Standard for Hand Protection" defines performance levels for cut resistance, blunt object puncture resistance, hypodermic needle puncture resistance and abrasion resistance. The standard provides guidance on the test methods used as well as pass/fail criteria so that you can determine what hand protection products may meet your needs.
ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 is the fourth revision of the voluntary consensus standard that was first published in 1999 and revised in 2005 and 2011. Significant changes to the cut-resistance classification determination have been made. A single test method has been selected for classification purposes (ASTM F2992-15) and the number of classification levels has been expanded to address the gap among certain levels seen in earlier versions of the standard.
The ANSI/ISEA 105-2011 standard allowed cut-resistance classifications to be determined using either ASTM F1790-97 or ASTM F1790-05 and then calculated using a newly created standardized Cut-Resistance Performance Calculator.
|Weight (grams) needed to cut through Test Method: ASTM F2992-15)
|New Cut Level Rating
|Weigh(grams) needed to cut through (Test Method:ASTM F1790-97 or ASTM F1790-05)
|Old Cut Level Rating
|< 200
The European Standard EN 388, "Protective Gloves against Mechanical Risks" uses different level groupings and a completely different method of testing than ANSI/ISEA 105. No approved changes have been made to EN 388 at this time. ANSI/ISEA 105 and EN 388 cut levels are not interchangeable.
|Performance Level
|Blade Cut Resistance (Cut Index)
1.2 -2.4
2.5 – 4.9
5.0 – 9.9
10.0 – 19.9
When specifying cut protection gloves and accessories, it is important to understand the different test methods and standards that may be referenced:
ASTM F1790-97 (1997 test method): Original standard test method for measuring cut resistance of materials used in protective clothing. This method was developed by DuPont and is used by labs that have a Cut Protection Performance Test (CPPT) cut test machine. Cut data generated by this method has been used to specify American National Standard/International Safety Equipment Association (ANSI/ISEA) cut levels.
ASTM F1790-05 (2005 method): This ASTM test method for measuring cut resistance is used by labs that use a Tomodynamometer (TDM) cut test machine. The later revision was harmonized with the ISO 13997 cut test method. Although the method can be used for both the CPPT and TDM cut test machines, practice has been to use ASTM 1790-97 for the CPPT and ASTM 1790-05 for the TDM.
ASTM F2992-15: This ASTM test method is used by labs that use a TDM cut test machine. It is the test method that has been selected for purposes of classifying cut resistance hand protection to the ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 standard.
EN 388-2003: The European norm for protective gloves against mechanical hazards. This test uses the Couptest cut test machine.
ISO 13997: International test standard for the TDM cut test machine.
In the ASTM F1790-97, ASTM F1790-05 and ISO 13997 test methods, the sample is cut by a straight-edge blade, under load, that moves along a straight path. The sample is cut five times each at three different loads and the data is used to determine the required load to cut through the sample at a reference distance of 25 millimeters (mm) of blade travel when testing to ASTM F1790-97 and 20mm when testing to ASTM F1790-05. This is referred to as the rating force or cutting force. The higher the rating force the more cut resistant the material. Neoprene rubber is used as the standard to evaluate blade sharpness.
In ASTM F2992-15, a small rectangular piece of glove material is placed on a metal mandrel of the TDM cut test device. A blade is moved across the specimen until cut-through is achieved. The device measures the distance of blade travel before cut-through as determined when the blade makes electrical contact through the specimen with the metal mandrel. The distance of blade travel is determined with different weights on the device arm holding the blade. The results are then used to determine the weight required to cut the glove material with 20mm blade travel. Using three weights across a minimum of 15 different cuts, the average of all the test scores is converted into the A1-A9 classification scale.
In the EN 388 test method, a circular blade, under a fixed load, moves back and forth across the sample until cut-through is achieved. A cotton canvas fabric is used as the reference material. The reference material and test sample are cut alternately until at least five results are obtained. The cut resistance is a ratio of the number of cycles needed to cut through the test sample versus the reference material. This is referred to as the cut index. The higher the cut index the more cut resistant the material.
Glove manufacturers and industry standards groups have made tremendous progress in testing and measuring cut resistance. With the recent publication of the ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 standard and the new cut-resistance performance levels, it is vital that you understand the different test methods in order to interpret the results, draw accurate conclusions and select the best glove for the task at hand. You must know the grams of cut resistance you need to avoid confusion between the old and new ANSI/ISEA and EN 388 standards. Manufacturers are being given a transition period to change product labeling and content to reflect the 2016 levels.

I connect to my Xbox (using flash fxp), then I went to Apps>Dvdxbox in my F directory I clicked on the Dvdxbox.rar file and clicked transfer, then I overwrote all the old files with the new ones. Problem is, when I go to Backup Disc, DVD2Xbox won't load It just goes back to the main screen. Any insight would be helpful.

Hi again!
Today for you I have another mid century styled set of furniture, as requested by the gorgeous and talented Leesester! (well, she requested the seating, I figured the rest out myself :P )
Included in the set (with 2 colour options per object, as seen in the pictures): The Cleopatra daybed (3 colour channels, in the sofa section), made in the 1950's by Auping, a custom fit blanket (one colour channel, with new Awesims patterns as a default, in misc decor), 2 sets of throw pillows (3 colour and 2 colour channels, in misc decor), and a very low hanging George Nelson Saucer lamp (3 colour channels, in ceiling lights). Please note that the lamp is designed to have only plain colours or fabrics, as patterns will not match up – sorry! Why you would want a pattern on it anyway is beyond me, but there you go! Everything else should be fine. Use moveobjects on to place blankets and cushions, and hold alt to have more precision! Package and sims3packs included for convenience! Teapot set on the floor is made by Apple.
Please let me know if you encounter any problems at all with my objects, so they can be attended to ASAP, I truely value your input!
Extra special thanks to the people who have donated to Awesims this month, I really appreciate your support, THANK YOU!!!

Worst Parent Of The Day: Dad Loses It At Kid's Hockey Game, Gets Banned [VIDEO]Buzz Bishop
There are times when I wonder if I haven't done enough to get my son into organized sports, then there are times I'm glad I avoid it this long.
My oldest son (nearly 6) takes swimming, skiing, and skating lessons. He's not in team sports – yet. We're talking about getting him in t-ball this summer, and every now and again I wonder if he would like to play hockey.
Then I see the drama from team sports and I wonder again.
The time commitment when you get your kids in to organized sports is immediate. 2 or 3 days a week for practices, then games. God forbid your kid be good and makes a higher calibre competitive team. Kiss your vacation time away as mandatory tournaments will suck up every long weekend of your life.
Is it worth it? We see the multi multi million dollar contracts that a few hundred athletes are good enough to sign, and deem it a lottery ticket worth scratching.
Then, I see the parents on the sidelines who have already cashed that ticket in their minds, and I just want to skip it all together.
The latest to go viral is a hockey dad in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Jason Boyd is a vocal presence at his teenage son's games and after a recent outburst that was caught on tape by other parents, he's been banned from attending further games.
"My son was hit and was laying on the ice, not moving, and the rink became deathly quiet," said Chuck Kitson. "And out of that quiet came a big booming voice, yelling at the referee that my son is a midget."
Kitson said he walked over to Boyd and tapped him on the shoulder. As seen on the video, it was at that point Boyd — holding a baby in one arm — angrily told Kitson not to touch him again and offered to "cave in" Kitson's glasses.
[Calgary Sun]
The scene is disgusting but, unfortunately, not uncommon. In Alberta, parents have to take an online course teaching them how to behave in the stands before their kids are allowed to play. Yes, a course in common sense needs to be passed before your kid is allowed to play hockey.
So I will eagerly anticipate my son and I's skiing and rock climbing lessons this spring where the only abuse I'll take is from my 40+ body trying to keep up with my 6 year old.
What's it like with your kids that play team sports? Is there always a parent like this at every event?

The Phoenix Coyotes have had fairly detailed contract talks with pending unrestricted free agent goalie Mike Smith; however, just like the team's future in the desert remains uncertain, so does Smith's future with the team. "We're still kind of working the process to see if there's a gap to be bridged," Coyotes general manager Don Maloney said Monday, per azcentral.com, "Is there a line to be crossed or nobody's going to go any further?

Fender Telebration Modern Thinline Telecaster Olympic White
On its 1951 introduction, the Telecaster was a revolutionary instrument that would usher in whole new eras of musical innovation and excitement. Sixty years later, in 2011, it is an archetypal electric guitar with a long and storied history. The rich history of Fender guitars begins with the Telecaster, and we're celebrating its 60th anniversary all year with 12 very special "Tele-bration" models that stay inside the Telecaster's famously elegant lines while offering the finest and most unusual takes on the instrument's past, present and future. The Modern Thinline Telecaster gives a nod to the '90s as a chambered Thinline model with modern hardware and features. Its Olympic White finish and double binding in tortoise shell impart a sharp and stately look.

K-W-L (What I Know, What
I Want to Know, and What I Learned) is a teaching model developed to encourage
purposeful reading by
K: activating and organizing students' prior knowledge,
W: developing questions of personal interest to focus attention during reading, and
L: summing up and reflecting on what was learned, if and how questions were answered.
Ideas, questions, and results are recorded on a chart for the whole class or for individual students.
KWL can also be used to
facilitate science learning by
K: pulling together what students already know (or think they know),
W: helping to generate questions for investigation, and
L: summing up findings and further questions.
By providing a recognized "legitimate" structure, KWL may make some teachers feel more comfortable about setting up explorations and investigations even if they don't have specific directions for predetermined demonstration experiments.
KWL is also a useful strategy for built-in assessment and planning. (See "Performance Assessment: Five Practical Approaches" by Anne Grall Reichel in Science and Children. October, 1994, p. 21-25.)
|What l/We Know
|What l/We Want to Know
|What I/We Learned
Possible additions to chart and/or topics for discussion:
What we think we know, but aren't sure about
What's our evidence for what we know
How we might find out what we want to know (what would be evidence?)
What could we find out by interacting with or observing the materials/phenomena, rather than by reading or asking experts?
What questions do we still have?
Below are some materials and strategies for inviting people to explore the way things roll. A wide range of questions and problems may be explored, depending on the variety of materials provided, the wording of initial questions, and the interests of students.
-Variety of balls, marbles, other rolling objects (cylinders, cars, etc.)
-Tubes: cardboard (paper towels, toilet paper, wrapping paper, etc.; some cut lengthwise, some whole); plastic; other
-"Ramps": pieces of foam core, cardboard; boards or long blocks, etc.
- Blocks or other materials for support; masking tape, scissors.
1. K-W-L Strategy:
a. Ask students what they know about balls and how they roll; record responses on a large chart headed "What we Know."
Depending on age of students, you might ask about the evidence they have for what they know.
b. Under the next category, "What We Want to Know," record questions students would like to find out about. Ask "How could we find out about that?" "What would be evidence?" "Which questions could we find out about using the materials we have here?"
c. Students plan and carry out investigations of their questions.
d. Record results
in chart section headed "What We Learned."
Encourage students to recognize and record things they're still not sure about, or new questions still to be explored.
2. Problem/Challenge: Use these materials to: make a ball move around a corner, up a hill, down a ramp as slowly as possible. . .
3. Open Inquiry/Exploration: Find out whatever you can about how these materials interact, how balls roll/bounce, what influences the speed and distance of a rolling ball . . .
What did you learn from this approach?
How would you compare your feelings/thoughts/experiences during exploration with your feelings/thoughts/experiences during more traditional learning experiences?
What do you think might be advantages and disadvantages of this approach for teachers and students?

Travis Sauter to make NASCAR debut in Iowa
Racing a lumbering, heavy car with small brakes will be one different feeling for Travis Sauter.
So will heading to the track with almost no chance to win.
"I'd like get close to the top 15, I guess, would be a good goal," the third-generation Wisconsin racer said of his NASCAR debut Saturday night.
"Obviously I want to just go and get the experience, and then after we run one I'll have more of an idea of what I need to do and what kind of car I need to get from this point forward."
Sauter, 30, hadn't even been cleared by NASCAR when it was announced Monday he would compete with the Nationwide Series at Iowa Speedway. Three weeks earlier he and his family had introduced representatives from sponsor Lester Buildings — a longtime backer of Tim Sauter, Travis' father — to Joe Nemechek, and casual conversation turned serious quickly.
By Thursday he was sliding into Nemechek's seat and turning his first laps at Hawk-eye Downs Speedway in Cedar Rapids. Then it was on to Newton, Iowa, where practice starts Friday. Nemechek, the 1992 series champion, has four top-20s in the car this season with a best of 14th.
"Obviously they're a smaller team, and I understand the business side of this sport," Sauter said. "But just to get the opportunity is probably more than I expected at this point in my life. Can't turn it down."
What happens next is anyone's guess. A successful race — particularly in the owner's and sponsor's eyes — could lead to a career...or nothing.
"I'm motivated and I feel like I'm on the top of my game," Sauter said. "You never know.
"The only way you're going to get the opportunity to drive good equipment and make a career out of it is to run good. You need to get the first shot and see where you stand."
Coming soon
The 12-race AMSOIL Arenacross schedule includes an event at U.S. Cellular Arena Jan.31-Feb. 2.
With races on indoor dirt courses with tight corners and challenging jumps, Arenacross essentially serves as a training ground for outdoor stadium-based Supercross.
Talking TV
Worth noting in the expanded and extended Fox 2015-'24 NASCAR rights deal announced Thursday is that the same number of Sprint Cup races will appear on over-the-air TV as do now.
But the rest of them will be on a pair of fledgling cable channels and sprinkled throughout the schedule, not on the familiar sports destination and a basic cable staple in the second half of the year.
Only seven of Fox's 16 races will be free to watch, down from 13 of 13 this year. The rest, plus the Sprint Unlimited, Budweiser Duel and Sprint Showdown, will go to Fox Sports 1.
NBC's deal for the final 20 races has nine over-the-air broadcasts, compared to what ABC/ESPN and TNT have (three of 23).
That keeps a 16-20, broadcast-cable split overall. No worse, just different.
Stewart had a point
Tony Stewart's mini-rant against those who complain of a lack of passing Sunday in the Brickyard 400 wasn't totally off base.
Racing and passing aren't synonymous. A good game of cat-and-mouse can make for a great race, even if no pass is made. But there had to be a real, visible threat to the mouse for that to entertain the spectators who make the sport a viable business.
Stewart the racing purist forgot how all that passing four nights earlier in the NASCAR truck race at his Eldora Speedway made Stewart the promoter a very happy man.
Busch's big plans
Kurt Busch, already shopping for a 2014 Indianapolis 500 ride, said this week he'd like to race the IndyCar season finale to help prepare.
"If I can't get that oval race in, I just feel like I'd show up at the Indy 500 as a blind guy with a stick trying to find his way around, and that is just going to be too much to make up," Busch said, quoted by the Sporting News.
Doing either, though, all comes down to sponsorship.
On his way back
Ryan Briscoe tweeted a picture of the carbon fiber brace he'll wear on his right wrist — surgically repaired two weeks ago after an IndyCar crash — that will enable him to race in the American Le Mans Series next weekend at Road America.
In the meantime, he'll work the NBC Sports Network IndyCar broadcast from Mid-Ohio while Oriol Servia fills in with Panther Racing.
Familiar turf
After three consecutive victories boosted him to second in the championship, Scott Dixon rides high into Mid-Ohio, where he has won four of IndyCar's six races.
"If you could put your finger on it, you would try to replicate it at every track," Dixon said of his success. "It makes it tough to work out why, but if you are, you just roll with it, and hopefully, you can continue to (stay on the roll) each year."
F1 doubts
The Russian auto racing federation, in a dispute with race organizers, has missed the application deadline for its planned inaugural 2014 Russian Grand Prix, Autosport reported.
Also, Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone said the series probably would not return to India next year, according to the British newspaper The Guardian.

ARLINGTON, Texas – A Tony Romo lookalike trotted out onto the field at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington for batting practice Tuesday to the laughs, smiles and cheers from the Texas Rangers players. Such is life when you're closer Joe Nathan and you lose a bet with teammate Mike Adams on the outcome of the Dallas Cowboys-New York Giants NFL opener last week. The Cowboys' 24-17 victory meant Nathan, an unabashed Giants fan, had to dress in a full Cowboys uniform complete with pads, helmet and, of course, Romo's name and his No. 9 on the back.

Pacquiao Not Focused on Securing a Knockout of Rios
Manny Pacquiao feels "fresh, strong and fast" ahead of his clash with Brandon Rios on November 23.
The 34-year-old (54-5-2 38KOs) has not fought since August 2012 when he was surprisingly stopped in six rounds by Juan Manuel Marquez.
He faces 27-year-old American Rios (31-1-1 23KOs) for the vacant WBO international welterweight title in Macau, China and the 'Pacman' is relishing his overdue return to the ring.
"The year off has been good and I am very excited to get back into the ring and fight and to do it for the fans. I feel very fresh, strong and fast," said Pacquiao. "My training for this fight has been unique and my training camp has been very long for this fight.
"My preparation has been going very well so I think it is going to be an exciting fight. I have given over 100 percent to my preparation for this fight.
"The key to winning the fight is to train hard and to focus while in training. Focus on my speed and power so I am ready when I get into the ring."
Pacquiao, the first and only eight-division world champion, believes the come-forward style of Rios will suit him as he bids to come back from two consecutive defeats, having lost to Marquez and before that Timothy Bradley.
"I want his style of fighting," said Pacquiao. "He likes to come inside and I like that style. I don't like to chase and I'm pretty sure I won't have to chase him.
"I will not go for the knockout in this fight but if I have a chance to finish early, why not? But I am not thinking that I need to knock him out.
"In training if I focus on a knockout I will get careless in the ring on the night of the fight. So what I need to do is focus in training so I am ready to get in the ring on the night of the fight."
Pacquiao insists he has come to terms with his shock defeat to Marquez and his focus is totally on beating Rios in what will be his first fight in China.
"I don't think I had a mistake in that (Marquez) fight. If you look back... I had 100 percent conditioning, aggressiveness. That (defeat) is part of boxing. I accept 100 percent what happened in the last fight.
"I have trained early (for Rios) because I want to prove that I can still fight in the top (tier) of boxing.
"This time my preparation is more serious, more focused. My mind is like when I was 20 years old."
[QUOTE=lets rumble;13886277]I am not saying rios is an easy fight, he just wont beat pac at 147 , to make this fight competitive it would have been better at 135 where rios was a force . even at 140 rios…Comment by nivek535 on 10-30-2013

What's Shakin' – Wolfman at Wortham, Vampires on Pacific St.
1. If you got your hard-core Halloween partying out of the way this weekend, why not curl up under the stars (and a blanket) for the 1941 horror classic "The Wolfman," at the Miller Outdoor Theater in Herman Park. Show starts at 7:30 pm. In this version the Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.) has an estranged father, frequents antique stores, caries an ornate walking stick for no particular reason and (of course) engages in nocturnal behavior of a hairy and bestial sort. Sounds like some of my friends. Admission is free, but prime spots on the lawn fill up quickly so arrive early.
2. If you didn't get your hard-core partying out of the way then you'll be glad to know that the clubs of Pacific street are still going strong. JR's Bar's "Anytheme Goes" party (808 Pacific) and Meteor's "True Blood" festivities (2306 Genesee) continue tonight with a costume contests at 11 pm, while South Beach's "Twilight" fete (810 Pacific) waits till midnight for its contest . Cash prizes are up for grabs at all three for best costume, best couple or group and most outrageous costume.
3. Broadway World reports that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D – NY, plans to introduce the Senate companion to the "Every Child Deserves a Family Act" introduced by Rep. Pete Stark, D – CA, last May. The bill would remove barriers to otherwise qualified LGBT parents servings as foster parents or adopting. "By removing all barriers for LGBT families to serve as foster parents, New York City has increased its foster parent pool by nearly 26,000 prospective parents," said Gillibrand. This legislation would open thousands of new foster and adoptive homes to children ensuring they are raised in loving families." So far only three of Texas' thirty-two congressional representatives, including Houston's own Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, have signed on as cosponsors.
'Camp Death' tonight at Pocket Sandwich
Keep that Halloween feeling
Pocket Sandwich Theatre keeps the frights going along with the laughs in their latest popcorn-tossing show Camp Death. No block parties to struggle through this time. Just sit back and enjoy as Pocket Sandwich spoofs on Friday the 13th and other '80s horror flicks. And stock up on the popcorn. It's just as fun to toss at your friends as it is the onstage villains.
DEETS: Pocket Sandwich Theatre, 5400 E. Mockingbird Lane, Ste. 119. 7:30 p.m. $10–$18. PocketSandwich.com.
Lots to do this Halloween night
This Halloween is full of treats
So many treats tonight, and so little time. Saturday is all about decisions and it's like you can't make a wrong one. If you're handy and have a couple of 5-Hour energy drinks, you could fit in a haunted house, The Women's Chorus of Dallas masquerade ball and of course, what's Halloween without the block party? The best part is, this is just a sampling of all that's going on tonight. Keep your eyes open for more Halloween events and parties. Or just pick up this week's issue. Happy trick-or-treating.
DEETS: Oak Lawn Halloween 2011, 3900 Cedar Springs Road. 7 p.m. PartyAtTheBlock.com.
Masquerade 2011. Sammons Center for the Arts, 3630 Harry Hines Blvd. 7 p.m. $25. TWCD.org.
Screams Theme Park, 2511 FM 66, Waxahachie. 7:30 p.m. $25. ScreamsParks.com.
Concert Notice: Melissa Ferrick (and costume party) at Poor David's Pub Saturday
It's interesting that Catie Curtis is performing tonight at Uncle Calvin's and Melissa Ferrick performs tomorrow. It's not uncommon to see them on the same bill together. They even teamed up as One Long Earring, a sort of lesbian folk supergroup. Both are on their own this weekend on opposite sides of town.
Ferrick released Still Right Here in September and it's been riding the Billboard Heatseekers Album Chart rather nicely, debuting at the 35 position. Now she and her peeps are trying to land it in the top 20. That might happen after you check out her show Saturday at Poor David's Pub.
Lesley Godlberg did a fantastic interview with Ferrick in March 2010 for AfterEllen.com. I don't think I ever realized Ferrick's song "Drive" was considered a lesbian classic. So hopefully she'll include it as part of her set list Saturday.
The venue is also hosting a costume party with prizes awarded. Not sure if that will distract much from the show, but what the hell — it's Halloween.
DEETS: With Elizabeth Wills and Vandaveer. Poor David's Pub, 1313 S. Lamar St. 7:30 p.m. $16. PoorDavidsPub.com.
'The Lady' exhibit at Bath House Cultural Center
Who's that lady of the lake?
You know those stories of driving in the White Rock Lake area and seeing a mysterious drenched lady. She needs a ride, sits in the back seat and then disappears leaving only a puddle ruining your fine upholstery. The story is legend in Dallas and for whatever reason, is still creepy. The urban legend is turned into art in The Lady, where artists depict in various ways their take on the legend of the woman who drowned in the lake years ago. Real or not, it's a spooky slice of Dallas history retold in art form — and perfect for getting in the Halloween mood.
DEETS: Bath House Cultural Center, 521 E. Lawther Drive. Through Jan. 28. Free. BathHouseCultural.com.
Music Monday: Fred Schneider's side project releases 'Batbaby' mini-movie video
Last year, The Superions released perhaps one of my least favorite albums of 2010. With Destination…Christmas, the Fred Schneider-led band turned Christmas songs inside out into a hot mess. The out B-52s singer definitely lets his comic freak flag fly higher with this band and they are back at it for Halloween.
They just released the EP Batbaby along with a new video. The 10-minute video is sort of a homage to the beatnik/horror mashup genre of the '60s. You know, like A Bucket of Blood. It's over-the-top ridiculous, but the hunky volleyball guys add some nice eye candy.
If you don't have 10 minutes to spare, check the trailer out here which touts the mini-movie as more frightening than Mary Poppins.
The video is below.
November: Grow a 'stache, save a testicle
Push broom. Lip warmer. Crumb catcher.
The mustache goes by many nicknames, but during the month of November, it's also a sign of support for men's health.
"Movember USA" is a group that helps raise money and awareness for men's health issues, such as testicular and prostate cancer, by sponsoring a sort of "'Stache for Cash" fundraiser. Men — and, ya know, I guess women, if they're from central Europe — dedicate to spend the month of November growing out their lady ticklers (bad example!) to raise money for research.
Now, I've had a beard or mustache pretty much continuously since 1994, and went back and forth throughout high school, college and law school at that, so it was hard for me to start a mustache anew — but I did. On Halloween, I shaved clean and started fresh on Nov. 1. I've trimmed a little around the neck (and actually did more than I should have just before Black Tie), but I'm committed to letting it get as bushy as it needs to by Nov. 30. Then I'll … well, probably just keep it.
Anyway, if you want to join, or just get hairy for the coming cold weather, visit USMovember.com to sign up or contribute. And I'll see you at the reunion of 1970s porn stars and Magnum, P.I. lookalikes.
What happens when your 5 year old boy wants to be Daphne from Scooby Doo for Halloween
Great story, though I'm not sure I'd have kept urging my child to do this if he started to worry about being made fun of. You?
But here's the point, it is none of your damn business.
If you think that me allowing my son to be a female character for Halloween is somehow going to 'make' him gay then you are an idiot. Firstly, what a ridiculous concept. Secondly, if my son is gay, OK. I will love him no less. Thirdly, I am not worried that your son will grow up to be an actual ninja so back off.
If my daughter had dressed as Batman, no one would have thought twice about it. No one.
But it also was heartbreaking to me that my sweet, kind-hearted five year old was right to be worried. He knew that there were people like A, B, and C. And he, at 5, was concerned about how they would perceive him and what would happen to him.
Just as it was heartbreaking to those parents that have lost their children recently due to bullying. IT IS NOT OK TO BULLY. Even if you wrap it up in a bow and call it 'concern.' Those women were trying to bully me. And my son. MY son.
