F1 discussion
After nearly two months without even touching on this project, I decided to give it a go this week. These past two days I've been working on the nose cone and I am very pleased with the result thus far. Right now I'm not bothering with the regulations much because this area of design is relatively free, with only a few minimum cross section area rules to the tip of the nose and the front wing mounting pylons. I'll check that later and should it be outside the regulations I'll fix, but I'm not caring much at all.
Sketches These are the two sketches I used to draw most of the shape of the nose cone, using the extrude -> intersection feature. After that I was just using fillets to do away with the sharp edges…
Wing pylons This was one piece I though would give me a lot of headache, but turned out to be very easy (granted, my design is extremely simple), and the fillet around the area where the nose and the pylons meet worked brilliantly, against my expectations.
Nose, tip opening This one was very simple to do, but I liked the end result so much!
And here are some more better-rendered images of the beta version of the nose cone:
I am not a Ferrari fan by the way!
@moojoe Sorry I took so long to reply, but I guess my interest with the project waned quite a bit when my classes resumed last month. I'm quite motivated now however :)
Thanks for the tips! I didn't know about the fasteners. In fact, I don't know much at all about the assembly environment, and since CADLearning videos are not free anymore, I guess I'll need some help with that :P
Yes, I am using the hole command!
With regard to the cooling ducts, I just used three sketches to create a "path" and then used the loft surface (I tried to use loft solid and then shell, but for some reason the shell operation was requesting a micrometric value…) and then thicken. The challenging part was that aero bit that sort of touches the tyre. Now, I don't quite remember how I did it, but I remember that I wanted to sweep it from the front to the rear face of the tyre, but didn't want it to go through the brake duct (you know, making it go around it), and that was annoying because there was no option on either sweep or extrude that would do that! In the end I had to adjust he duct manually so they wouldn't intersect much.
What, no comments on the nosecone? I'm disappointed :P
Anyways, I'm starting the remaining parts of the survival cell. Today I did the padding around the driver's head, and I think it's looking pretty good. I'd also like to announce I've hired two drivers. They are both dead, but since the car doesn't exist it won't be a problem.
And here's a closer look at what is so far the most complex part of the car:
@Guilherme Superb choice of drivers!
The tip of the nose looks a bit more sloped than the 2012 cars. Is this because you're avoiding having a step?
@Guilherme I'm staggered at the amount of detail you're able to get into this project despite the lack of intimate knowledge that a team has of their own creations.
@keithcollantine I tracked back from your twitter post, great idea showing this thread off!
@dragoll Always like to show off the best community stuff and this is really first-rate.
This look like such an exciting project, not sure what your level of CAD experience is (mine is 0) but you must have hours into this. Looks like a fun way to develop your skills. Even if I was experienced with CAD I'm still not sure I would have found the red button. Looking forward to seeing weekly updates.
@keithcollantine I first thought of writing the names on the airbox, much like Sauber did in 2010, but I wanted to make this little joke for so long that I decided the padding was good enough :P Yes, I'm not going for the stepped nose solution, purely from an aesthetics point of view. But looking at the pictures I posted it looks much more slopped than it actually is, so here is a orthographic side view:
Thanks for linking the thread on your Twitter by the way!
@dragoll when I try to do something, I try to do it as perfect as possible within my capabilities, so yes, I do spend a lot of time adding detail and redoing refining things until I'm satisfied. I must have done and redone the nosecone about 5 times now (one today even).
@rocky I'll try to update this thread at least once every two or three days! I'm working on what's left of the survival cell and it should be done by tomorrow. My experience with CAD was 99% limited to 2D on AutoCAD, and if you look at the first pages of the thread you'll see that I didn't even know then about this software I'm using now, so yes, it is a magnificent way of developing skills :)
This is extremely cool! Good job @Gullherme Can't wait to see the final product. I'm an amateur fan of autoCAD but have not used it in years, since I graduated college in Electronics. But this is sheer amazing!
@paulocreed Thanks!
Here are some pictures from today. The car is starting to take shape now. I'm not completely happy so tomorrow there will be more work on this area (the splitter is looking good though!), and hopefully I'll be able to start the roll structure Friday at the latest. I also need to make the mirrors so this part of the car is going take much longer than I anticipated.
Still a better aerodynamic design than HRT! :P
@guilherme The cool thing is that you can always modify it. Just start with a baseline to have the overall shape you want and then modify to your preference.
That is what the teams do anyhow. They make a base to start with and then improve.
Maybe you can even try doing a car without any restrictions like RBR did with GT5 with the X2010 for example.
I think a real mean looking F1 car would be something like the 2006 or 2008 era cars with the 2010-2012 era front wings.
Very interesting, I am a student still, but as part of my side project I was going to do a single piece of an F1 car, and look at you, you start with the whole car!, way to go gilherme. you have encourage me to download inventor and start soon. By the way, where did you get the regulations in regards of dimensions ?
Ugh, the software crashed and I lost almost three hours of work. I was well into the roll structure/airbox. Absolutely gutted.
@juergen I'm glad my work gave you the motivation you needed. I got the regulations from the FIA website ( http://www.fia.com/en-GB/sport/regulations/Pages/FIAFormulaOneWorldChampionship.aspx ). My other references are the Red Bull Haynes manual, the cutaway BMW Sauber F1.08 and this picture from the failed USF1 car ( http://hunnylander.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/type-1-cad-drawing-with-detail-of-the-transverse-gearbox.jpg ). The Cosworth website has some nice info and a clear picture of their engine too ( http://americas.cosworth.com/sport/f1/the-technology/specification/ ), as has Pirelli has on their tyres (http://www.pirelli.com/tyre/ww/en/f1/tyre-range.html).
And of course, the hundreds of pictures @keithcollantine posts every race weekend help out immensely.
Hope it helps.
@Guilherme – are you rendering from within AutoCAD? It looks fantastic! I've been using 3D Studio Max for a number of years but never got to play around with AutoCADs 3D. Great work, stick with it!

Location couldn't of been better! Right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. The staff went out of their way to make us at home and help us in anyway possible i.e. ordering us pizza in the middle of the night. Spacious rooms, clean and basic. If you're going to Barcelona I highly recommend you stay in this hostel!

Well, we had a double room and every night, we dreaded going to sleep. The room was ridiculously hot and though we were provided with a fan, it simply circulated the hot air. It was so bad that one morning we ended up leaving for the day at 5.30am and went to the beach.. Not a time we'd usually be up and out! We were given lockers with codes for passports etc which were good. The bathrooms were grubby but they did the job and there wasn't really a kitchen, just a sink and kettle.

This hostel is a good compromise for students or young couples low on budget but willing to find accommodation close to Barcelona's heart as well as to the hot spots for going out. Carrer Ample, where the hostel is located, is a good place to mingle with locals and other tourists at night, grabbing drinks and tapas in the several bars one finds all along the street. If you are not a party person but looking for a quiet time, the Serenity Gotic Hostel is on average a peaceful place.

State Treasurer Young Boozer's office announces launch of statewide scholarship program | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
State Treasurer and CollegeCounts Board Chair Young Boozer is calling on eligible Alabama students to apply for the newly-established CollegeCounts Scholarship.
"This scholarship program will help qualified Alabamians who may find it difficult to get other types of scholarship assistance," said Treasurer Boozer. "Not every student makes a 30 or higher on their ACT, or has parents who can afford to write a check for tuition. But there are thousands of bright young minds in our state who work hard and deserve help achieving their dream of a college degree."
Treasurer Boozer and other members of the CollegeCounts Board announced the scholarship program today at Wetumpka High School. The program is designed to offer financial assistance to Alabama students who plan to enroll in Alabama colleges and universities. It will provide one-time awards of $4,000 to qualified recipients enrolling in four-year schools and $2,000 to those enrolling in two-year schools. Eligible students may apply online beginning January 2 at www.collegecountsalabama.com.
Applicants must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for this scholarship:
- Be a high school senior or first-time college freshman
- Be a U.S. citizen
- Be an Alabama resident
- Be enrolled or planning to enroll in an Alabama eligible educational institution
- Demonstrate financial need
- Have a minimum GPA of 2.75
- Have an ACT score of 26 or below (applicants attending a two-year school will not be required to submit ACT scores)
Quick Facts:
- Scholarships will be applied to tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment.
- Payments will be made directly to the institution and will be issued in the fall and spring.
- The application opens on January 2, 2013, and closes March 7, 2013.
- There are two primary funding sources for the Scholarship Program: administrative fees from the CollegeCounts 529 Fund and surplus funds from the Alabama Higher Education Loan Corporation (AHELC).
- Administrative fees explained: "CollegeCounts 529 Fund" is the marketing name for what is actually known as the ACES Trust Fund under Alabama law. The ACES Trust Fund is part of the ACES Program, which was established as a college savings alternative that allows contributors to open savings accounts to pay for a beneficiary's qualified educational expenses at an eligible institution of higher education. These savings accounts can be sold directly to individuals or sold to individuals by financial advisors. The ACES Trust Fund receives a 0.10% administrative fee each year from the assets held in the advisor-sold program.
- AHELC Surplus Funds explained: The Alabama Higher Education Loan Corporation (AHELC) was established to provide student loans to Alabamians. After a long period of inactivity, AHELC was revived, only to see its business model abolished by the U.S. Congress. As a result, the AHELC board of directors chose to cease operations, dissolve the nonprofit corporation, and grant the existing surplus to help fund Alabama's CollegeCounts Scholarship Program. This decision was made in accordance with AHELC's founding purpose of funding higher education student aid.

The Best of the Best
Selection A
One more time we would like to call upon your help in regards to the Rapha-FOCUS team. Over the course of this past season we asked for your help in getting us photos of our boys as they traversed the continent racing some of the best Cyclocross races that the United States has to offer. We were blown away by the support that we received in this venture and I would like to personally Thank You for all your help. However, there is still one bit of business that needs to wrap up before we can finally say that the US Cross season is over (but is it really ever over?) Which, in your opinion was the best of the best? You know the drill, vote in the comments section. Click through to see the rest of the winners and remember to place your vote in the comments section.
It should be noted that the season is far from over for these two. Chris will turn his focus (and his new Boardman Bike) to the road and his campaign with the UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team. He will take to the road with the Tour of Langkawi at the end of the month.

SYRACUSE -- When Syracuse University and the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry celebrate graduation in a month, nearly 98,000 plastic bottles will be on display in the Carrier Dome.
But not in their original container shapes. They've been recycled to make 3,900 graduation gowns. All of the custom-designed blue Syracuse and green SUNY-ESF undergraduate gowns, along with the traditional black master's gowns, are made with the product.
The Repreve Fabric uses fibers from approximately 25 post-consumer plastic bottles per gown that likely would have ended up in landfills.
The Herff Jones Collegiate Caps and Gowns Co. has made the gowns available to the two schools.

Officials continue to assess flood damage
Last Updated: 15:10 September 17, 2013
The total number actually suffering damage is still likely a few days from being tallied.
County, city and rescue officials updated the status of their efforts and ways people could seek assistance at a press briefing Tuesday morning at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office.
Dan Dallas, an incident commander with the RMIMT, said that as municipalities work through rescue efforts and assessing damage in their own communities his agency is working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the mountains and foothills and working their way to lower ground.
As of Monday, the RMIMT and FEMA had surveyed hundreds of structures. Of those, Dallas said his teams had tallied 120 homes that have been completely destroyed, along with one destroyed commercial building.
In some cases, officials were surprised by what was left standing, said Tom Miner, an incident support team leader for FEMA. The majority of structures, he said, are OK.
"I think people are going to be surprised at the number of homes in the area versus the number of homes that are gone or destroyed," Miner said.
Still, the number of homes and businesses damaged could reach the hundreds, if not thousands, by the time local and federal agencies pool their counts in urban and rural areas.
Ricardo Zuniga, a FEMA spokesman, said that 6,400 Boulder County individuals had already registered with FEMA for assistance that so far totals $430,000. He said those who have yet to register can do so by calling 800-621-3362, go online to www.disasterassistance.gov, or visit m.fema.gov on their smartphones.
Zuniga said registering doesn't guarantee funding, but that not registering does guarantee individuals will not receive assistance. Businesses are not eligible for FEMA assistance, but said that individuals and businesses alike could be eligible for low-interest loans for repairs from the Small Business Administration.
Commander Heidi Prentup with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office said that on Monday 215 people were airlifted out of flood-stricken areas. There have been three confirmed fatalities in Boulder County, and 183 people remained unaccounted for as of Monday.
Ryan Huff, a University of Colorado police department spokesman, said that 80 buildings on campus had suffered flood damage. Most of it, however, was minor, he said. And no labs or instructional facilities had been damaged. The Coors Events Center has been set up as an evacuation center. The webpage www.colorado.edu/2013flood has been set up to provide resources for students affected by the flood.

While other schools are gearing up for the fast-approaching football season, Kentucky State is looking to hire a new head coach.
Fred Farrier, KSU's head coach the past four seasons, confirmed he was fired over the weekend - just days before fall workouts began for the 2009 season - in a telephone interview this morning.
"I was notified Saturday afternoon by the new athletic director (Denisha Hendricks)," Farrier said.
Farrier said he was given no reason for his dismissal and that KSU said it did not have to give one.
"It was a shock," he said. "It was definitely not something I saw coming. I thought we had a great opportunity for a good season in 2009."
KSU spokeswoman Felicia Lewis said the University had no statement on Farrier's dismissal.
"The University does not comment on personnel issues," she said.
Sports information director Ron Braden also said he couldn't comment. Hendricks was hired as KSU's director of athletics on July 1.
No new coach has been publicly named, but K-State's football media day is "tentatively scheduled" for the afternoon of Thursday, Aug. 6, according to Braden.
The Thorobreds went 19-25 in four seasons under Farrier, including 3-8 the past two seasons.
"It takes time to build something that has a chance to be a consistent winner," Farrier said. "Obviously, my contributions weren't something that they were looking for.
"I feel bad for our kids because I had a very vested interest in those guys and I think they were finally beginning to believe in what we are doing."
Last week, Kentucky State made headlines for an off-field incident at a Lexington restaurant in which four football players were allegedly involved in the theft of a tip jar.
Farrier said he was unsure whether the incident played a role in his firing, but that the football players involved in the incident were not the perpetrators of the crime.
"I think the bigger issue is our kids making decisions," he said. "If you truly look at the police report the person that was apprehended was not a member of the team and those members of the team were arrested just for being there."
Farrier said he was grateful for the opportunity to coach at K-State and expressed no ill will towards the University. He said he is going to spend the coming days living the philosophy he preached to his former players about life and family.
"It's one of those times where you have to take a step back a little bit," he said. "As a coach you spend a lot of time in offices raising people's kids, so I've got a wife and two young kids that I have to provide for."

Local libraries are hosting summer reading programs to encourage literacy among children. This year's theme is "dig into reading." "They're reading books in conjunction with the weekly program," LaFollette Public Library Director Nancy Green said.
LaFollette Public Library LaFollette Public Library hosts its Summer Reading program Thursdays at 10 a.m. Lunch is provided at 11 a.m. by the Summer Feeding program at Splash Park in downtown LaFollette.
Commissioners are considering a resolution that could designate Campbell County Emergency Medical Service the primary emergency services provider in the county. It could also limit competition from future for-profit emergency responders. "This officially puts on paper who is going to operate in our county," Campbell County EMS Director Danny Sheckles said. But Sheckles said it wouldn't change anything for the county's existing three providers—Campbell County EMS, and the for-profit services of North Regional and Vital Care.
County Attorney Joe Coker is looking for a group that wants to benefit the community, but needs a home. During a workshop, Coker told county commissioners about a homeowner who had almost completed a lakefront house near Flat Hollow Marina before it was determined the surrounding land belonged to the Tennessee Valley Authority. The homeowner had gotten a survey and paid taxes for the property. It showed the house was located on the homeowner's property, Coker said.
At Monday's County Commission Workshop, county resident Jim Slusher expressed concern for the district's school system. "There are wonderful people in this county, and their kids deserve a quality education," he said. Later this month, the commission will begin work on the budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year. Slusher encouraged the commission to allow a generous amount of money for the school system. "I know money's tight, but you do what you have to," Slusher said.
CARYVILLE— The Board of Mayor and Aldermen hope to make some improvements along US 25W in Caryville. The town plans to ask the Tennessee Department of Transportation about the feasibility of adding a right-turn lane from southbound 25W onto Elkins Road to assist with school traffic. The town also hopes to see a traffic light installed at the intersection with Queener Road. "We think traffic is gonna increase also with the new boat ramp," said Mayor Chris Stanley.
CARYVILLE— There's an empty spot on the police force in Caryville after the resignation of officer Gary Johnson. Johnson was hired last August at the same time as Mike Caudill, who was fired in December after giving his two-week's notice. He now works with the Jacksboro Police Department. "We just need to discuss hiring a police officer. Putting an ad in the paper and so forth," said Caryville Mayor Chris Stanley. Johnson moved on to another job, though Stanley did not give specifics on where he went.
There's a back up on the highway again, and it's in the dead spot where the radio doesn't come in quite right. The next exit is a mile away, and the shoulder of the road is clogged with drivers trying to get out of the jam. Semi trucks' air brakes sigh as the monstrous vehicles grind to a halt. Other drivers give up and place their vehicles in park – or just shut them completely off.
It's going to be a while.
There's been another accident.
PIONEER—A Pioneer man was arrested Tuesday after police say he misidentified an alleged abduction suspect and fired at an innocent man.
On June 3, Campbell County Sheriff's Deputy Marty Blackwell responded to a suspicious vehicle call on Melvin Hollow Road.
A 6-year-old girl told officers a man in a dirty white van stopped and grabbed her hand. The child reportedly pulled away from the man and the van continued down Melvin Hollow Road toward Lowe Branch.
DUFF—An arson in the Duff community last Wednesday was likely retaliatory in nature, according to the Campbell County Sheriff's Department.
Just before 9 p.m. June 5, Deputy Ty Daugherty was on patrol in the area when he realized the home at 412 Duff Road was on fire. The back of the home was already engulfed, according to the report.
At the same time, a call came into the Campbell County E-911 center about an alleged drunk driver in LaFollette, who reportedly hit three vehicles, including a LaFollette Police Department cruiser.
A Jacksboro mother and her adult daughter are behind bars after police say they went around Campbell County soliciting donations in the name of Jacksboro Middle School.
Catherine Agee, 61, and Jennifer Overton, 34, allegedly went to local businesses and citizens to ask for money to help with a school fundraier. The two women reportedly asked that checks be written directly to them without the permission and knowledge of the school.

"The Standard I Judge Other Pants By"
I borrowed these pants from my buddy for a week when we went out to Steamboat last year and let me tell you, I'll have a hard time buying anything else going forward. Especially when you consider the price, these are the pants that I judge all other pants by. The Sig Fit Burton has put together is just about perfect for me. These pants are baggy without being huge and getting in your way. The construction is right on and durable. He wore these pants for a whole season before I used them and they were still in great condition. I know everyone says spend the money on your pants and invest in goretex but I had a great experience with the water proofing on these pants. We weren't in the wettest of conditions but still, these did the job for me. I will be buying a new pair of cargos for myself this year. Great pants.
"Burton Cargo Pants"
I'm 5'10 190lbs usually wear 34 pants/jeans. I like having places to stuff everything, though between my jacket and pants, sometimes I forget where I put things. lol The 10k waterproof is quite enough, but the 5k breathability usually finds my riding the whole day with leg vents open. I like a bit of fresh air anyways so Im not too worried about this. What DOES annoy me a bit though is that there is velcro on the rear pocket flaps AND inside the pocket slit to keep it closed... it can be a bit trying sometimes when trying to dig m wallet out. overall a solid pant.
"Amazing pants"
I've been riding with these pants for two years now, and I finally have to get a new pair. But in those years, these have proven to be the absolute best pants I've ever worn and the best pants you can buy for this amount of money. They have so much room and so many pockets for everything you need, they're super warm and very waterproof. Getting pants this good for this much money is a steal, so buy them.
I got these for Christmas and they are a perfect fit. I am 6,1 and super skinny in waist and these fit perfect around waist and length. I ordered the rock salt color from 09 and it is just what i expected, which was super white. The material seems very durable. Its not that cheap feeling kind. Feels kinda like painters tarp. But more comfortable on the inside. They are a 7/10 on the warmth scale. They have multiple pockets which is good. They have air vents on the inner thigh which is very nice. And they have this sweet I.D. pocket right on the right thigh. Overall Great pants.

"Thursday Night Football" is anything but must-see TV.
The NFL, according to The Wall Street Journal, believes it can change that — by adding another game.
The Wall Street Journal report says the league "believes that adding a second game to create doubleheaders on some Thursdays could create more national interest."The Thursday night games are the least-watched nationally televised games of the week.Part of the reason for that, as The Journal notes, is the NFL Network still isn't fully distributed.Another reason: The Thursday games, more often than not, have been brutal.Teams playing on short weeks — with little practice time, insufficient time to recover from nagging injuries, more hectic travel schedules, etc. — hasn't been good for the on-field product.Since the start of the 2012 season, there have been 20 NFL games on Thursday night.The average margin of victory in the 20 contests is 14.2 points. Fourteen of the 20 games have been decided by at least 10 points, and eight of the matchups have resulted in victory margins of at least 17 points.A sure sign of the sloppy play: There has been an average of four turnovers in the 20 Thursday night games since 2012. Prior to the Browns' 37-24 win over the Bills on Oct. 3 — one of the best Thursday games in the last two seasons — there had been five consecutive Thursday contests that had a combined total of at least four turnovers.Regardless of our feelings about the necessity of "Thursday Night Football," there was a very interesting tidbit in the second-to-last paragraph of The Wall Street Journal story:"Potential buyers of the games would likely be national cable sports networks. But league officials have also considered selling the Thursday night package to a nontraditional media partner, including online players like Netflix Inc. or Google Inc., the person said."That could be a game-changer in the TV industry.But creating another Thursday game would only add to a very important question that has nothing to do with TV rights and more revenue for the most powerful league in sports: If the NFL is so concerned about player safety, why would it put two additional teams in harm's way (playing on three days' rest) each week?Late-morning update: Good news. The NFL, in a series of tweets, says it "hasn't even discussed" the possibility of a Thursday doubleheader.

From turkey to tinsel
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, now's the time to start planning for
these hot holiday happenings
Magnificent Mile
Lights Festival
Sat 19, 6pm. Magnificent Mile (N Michigan Ave between Oak St and the Chicago River). The parade that kicks off the holiday season culminates in a fireworks show over the river. Afterward, head to State Street to check out the last Marshall Field's holiday window display (thru Jan 8) before the store becomes a Macy's next year.
The Santa Abductions
Thurs-Sat at 8pm through Dec 23. Neo-Futurarium (5153 N Ashland Ave, 773-275-5255). $15. Warning: If you still believe in Santa Claus, we cannot recommend Sean Benjamin's The Santa Abductions. You're simply too tender-hearted for this story of a man who discovers his mother lied to him about St. Nick and goes on a rampage. Fringe troupe The Neo-Futurists presents a straight-ahead Christmas play, fictional characters and all. Sean Daniels of Atlanta's innovative Gen-X theater Dad's Garage directs.
A Christmas Carol
A dead accountant, a kid with a limp and Mr. Fezziwig help a bachelor find the true meaning of the season in the best Christmas story ever told. Chicago audiences can find it in all forms: classic (the Goodman's 28th annual ; Sun 19-Dec 26, 170 N Dearborn St, 312-443-3800, www.goodmantheatre.org); storefront (the hard-working Provision Theater ; Nov 27-Dec 30 at the Theatre Building, 1225 W Belmont Ave, 773-327-5252); suburban (the always-busy Metropolis Performing Arts Centre ; Nov 25-Dec 24, 111 W Campbell St, Arlington Heights); and beatnik ( HeadCheese FatBoss Productions' unassailably cool coffeehouse treatment The Hipmas Carol; Dec 8-23 at the Raven Theatre, 6157 N Clark St, 773-539-2915).
Mixed nuts
The Joffrey Ballet reprises its classic treatment of The Nutcracker Dec 14-28 at the Auditorium Theatre (50 E Congress Pkwy, www.joffrey.com), but this year it's not the only sugar plum fairy in town. Noble Horse Theatre offers a bona fide hoofers version, The Nutcracker on Horseback , through Jan 8 (1410 N Orleans St, 312-266-7878). Hip children's theater company Emerald City teams with kiddie pop king Ralph Covert for the tot-rocking ANutcracker Christmas Nov 20-Dec 31 at the Apollo Theater (2540 N Lincoln Ave, 773-935-6100, www.emeraldcitytheatre.com). And Incurable Theater opts for puppets, masks and marionettes in The Nutcracker and the King of Mice Dec 2-Jan 8 at the Cultural Center's Studio Theater (77 E Randolph St, www.incurabletheater.org).
The Santaland Diaries
Nov 25-Dec 31 at the Theatre Building (1225 W Belmont Ave, 773-327-5252). $22-$24. Lovers of David Sedaris's poisonous Christmas card deserve a heads up: This version stars Joe Foust. More of a hoodlum than a scrawny NPR scribe, Foust ferociously attacks the now-famous memoir of the reluctant Macy's elf. Gone are the sour Truman Capote sighs; in their place a series of bratty South Park rants. But there's still great fun to be had in Theater Wit's version, which is back for its second year.
Goose Island Turkey Trot
Nov 24, 9am. Cannon Dr and Fullerton Pkwy (773-404-2372, www.caprievents.com). With preregistration $28, day of race $33; Kids' Plymouth Rock ramble with preregistration $15, day of race $12. This 8K run/walk, sponsored by the brewery and the running-apparel store Momentum, benefits the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Runners are also asked to bring two (or more) cans of food when they pick up their race packets at Goose Island or Momentum.
The Radio City Christmas Spectacular
Nov 25–Dec 24. Rosemont Theatre (5400 N River Rd, www.ticketmaster.com). $24.50–$56.50. We'll let you decide whether the leggy, high-kicking, supermodel-quality Rockettes constitute wholesome family entertainment or holiday hotties on parade. All we know is that this touring company of New York's favorite precision-dance troupe kicks our candy asses.
The Reindeer Monologues
Nov 25–Dec 23. Theatre Building (1225 W Belmont Ave, 773-327-5252). $20. There's no gentle way to put this: The central question of this play is whether or not Santa is molesting his reindeer. In an Enron-size scandal, Kris Kringle's eight closest employees disclose the details of their intimate encounters with the boss man. A prime example of how the alternative becomes the mainstream, this piece by formerly Chicago-based playwright Jeff Goode debuted here in 1994 (produced by the long-since-gone Dolphinback). This production by the Journeymen is the company's fifth annual.
ZooLights Festival
Nov 25–Dec 11, Fri–Sun, 5–9pm; Dec 16–Jan 1, daily, 5–9pm. Lincoln Park Zoo (2200 N Cannon Dr, 312-742-2000, www.lpzoo.com). Free. The zoo stays open late through the holidays, guiding evening visitors along its winding pathways with a sprawling, illuminated display of animal figures and other designs that puts even the most insane suburban holiday house decorator to shame. If the lights leave you dazed, the hot cider and chainsaw-wielding ice-sculptors are sure to wake you up.
Old World grub and pubs
The city's Northern Euro roots represent best around the holidays, when Daley Plaza(Washington and Dearborn Sts) is transformed into Nürnberg's famed Christkindlmarket (Nov 24–Dec 22) and Andersonville breaks out the glögg . Downtown, warm your hands while you shop with a cup of the Glunz Family's gluwein, then feast on brats, potato pancakes and strudel. Or head north to Simon's Tavern (5210 N Clark St, 773-878-0894), where owner Scott Martin pours his house-made glögg, concocted from a century-old recipe. Martin's dad, Tom, might tie one on with you while singing carols, or catch him up at his Svea Restaurant (5236 N Clark St, 773-275-7738) offering free cups of the warmed, spiced port to diners indulging in the Swedish Christmas platter: cheese, veal loaf, meatballs, potato sausage withlingonberries, pickled herring and more.
It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play
Nov 30-Dec 31 at American Theater Company (1909 W Byron St, 773-929-1031). $25-$30. The '70s and '80s were good to Frank Capra's three-hankie soaper. The film rights lapsed into the public domain in 1974 when the copyright wasn't renewed, so television stations were able to air it royalty-free. And they did: every waking minute from Thanksgiving to New Years. After a 1993 lawsuit, though, the rights were pinned back (NBC currently has them and conservatively airs it only once or twice a year). Chicagoans were obviously craving a George Bailey fix, as last year American Theatre Company's old-timey radio version became an unexpected hit. It's now back for year two.
Hot cocoa loco
Half the fun of heading out into the cold is warming up again, and there's no more decadent way to do so than with seasonal hot chocolate. Luckily, Chicago is swimming in the stuff. In December, the aptly named HotChocolate (1747 N Damen Ave, 773-489-1747) will throw an eggnog variety into its already impressive list of liquid bliss. Bombon Café (36 S Ashland Ave, 312-733-8717) gets in on the action with the traditional cinnamon-packed champurrado, a thick Mexican variety of the chocolatey stuff. And the Ritz-Carlton (160 E Pearson St, 312-573-5223) will hook up extreme chocolate fans with a bowl of its rich Paris-inspired version, flanked by homemade marshmallows, chocolate shavings, whipped cream and a healthy dose of Francophilia.
Spa Space's Peppermint Patty Body Wrap
161 N Canal St (312-466-9585). $160. Spa Space has the antidote to mall madness: A therapist exfoliates ribbon dust, wrapping-paper cuts and dead skin cells with a full-body rub using a peppermint-sugar scrub. Next, a hydrating chocolate mask is painted on, and you're wrapped up mummy-style while enjoying a head, neck and shoulder massage that's sure to knead away gift-giving anxiety. Finally, a hydrating chocolate-mint–scented lotion is rubbed into your limbs, and you're sent back to the trenches with a steaming hot cup of cocoa.
Art of the Ornament Benefit
Dec 2, 5–8pm. Merchandise Mart (222 Merchandise Mart Plaza, 800-677-6278, www.chicagoartfoundation.com). $25. With visions of a museum dancing in its head, the Chicago Art Foundation is hosting a silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind handmade tree decorations. More than 100 artists are donating pieces. Paul Nudd is making a small edition of a Shrinky Dinks yule-log ornament; Tony Fitzpatrick has created six different ornaments with his signature images printed on a fibrous plastic called Sintra. Proceeds from the evening also benefit Pediatric AIDS Chicago.
Black Nativity: A Gospel Song Play
Dec 2–31 at the Goodman Theatre (170 N Dearborn St, 312-443-3800, www.goodmantheatre.org). $35-$45. Congo Square Theatre finds a great gift in its stocking this year: Although the African-American company is still mourning the loss of Pulitzer-winner August Wilson, it received some good news recently: in accordance with the playwright's will, it's the only theater company allowed to receive donations in Wilson's name. If you've never seen the very young (founded in 2000) but highly successful company, its return engagement of Langston Hughes' Black Nativity is a great introduction. Performed in the Goodman's intimate Owen Theatre, it's giving neighbor Scrooge a run for his precious money.
Toys for bad girls and boys
TULIP, 1480 W Berwyn Ave, 773-275-6110. On Friday 2, Andersonville's luxe, adults-only toy gallery TULIP (along with most of the 'hood's shops) stays open late and tempts with special discounts, including 10 percent off purchases between 6pm and midnight. On Tuesday 6, haul your ass to TULIP for "Booty Call for the Holidays," at which tips, techniques and health info regarding anal play will be shared. (As far as we know, none involves unorthodox uses of candy canes.)
Chicago a cappella
Dec 2, 8pm. Fourth Presbyterian Church (126 E Chestnut St, 312-787-4570). $22-$35. One nationality is never enough for this group, which presents music from Africa, Sweden, Venezuela and Renaissance Italy. It also piles on Hanukkah songs, spirituals and traditional carols. For all the lip service given to diversity, this group lives it.
William Ferris Chorale
Dec 2, 8pm. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church (690 W Belmont Ave, 773-525-0453). A longtime player on the Christmas-music scene, this hearty, full-blooded ensemble has always taken the side road in whatever it does. This year is no exception: It'll perform The Mystery of Bethlehem by Canadian composer Healey Willan. It'll also sing a fair amount of carols and Renaissance (i.e., Catholic) polyphony. Fear not—the new music it performs never comes close to painful.
Tree-lighting ceremony at Daley Plaza
On Thanksgiving night, work off that turkey and stuffing by heading downtown for the lighting of Daley Plaza's 85-foot tree at 5pm (live music starts at 4pm). The giant pine is actually made from lots of small trees bundled together.
Judy's Scary Little Chrstmas
Dec 3–31. Strawdog Theatre (3829 N Broadway, 773-528-9696). $15–$20. There was a time when Christmas meant "special," and "special" meant an odd hour of prime-time television in which turtleneck-clad celebrities sang their favorite carols in front of a faux fireplace and strands of popcorn. To the drag satirists of Hell in a Handbag Productions, those celebs are gods worthy of idolatry (and the fabulous drug addictions are simply gravy). Here, Judy Garland's celebrity Christmas special (guests include Joan Crawford and Ethel Merman) gets roasted like so many chestnuts.
North pole dancing
As the winter chill sets in and you grow tired of layering on turtlenecks, sweaters and long underwear, learn sexy new ways to take it all off. On Monday 5, Miss Exotic World, a.k.a. Michelle "Toots" Lamour, will be at g boutique (2131 N Damen, 773-235-1234) to teach a sensual strip tease, "Santa Baby Burlesque" ($30). And it's not just the ladies who risk winding up on Santa's naughty list: Wednesday 14 is g boutique's Men's Night, complete with martinis, models and numerous gift suggestions related to stuffing your sweetheart's... stocking.
Hanukkah Lights: Stories of the Season
Dec 7, 6pm. Harold Washington Library Center(400 S State St, 312-747-4300). $8–$10. NPR stalwart Susan Stamberg and some Chicago actors perform staged readings of original stories collected from the annual public radio show Hanukkah Lights. The book, like the show, eschews the usual holiday schmaltz for contemporary stories.
Holiday Giggle
Dec 7, 7pm. Joe's (940 W Weed St, 312-337-3486). $20. With 11 local comics (including Frank Townsend, TJ Miller and Hannibal) and two salsa bands, this stand-up showcase can only be described as a blowout. Producer Mikey Oquendo always drums up a huge, eager crowd, and he gets the enormous room pumping with plenty of preshow house music and inexpensive beer. Ten charities will benefit from the money raised.
Los Straitjackets and The World Famous Pontani Sisters Christmas Pageant
Dec 2–3, 9:30pm. FitzGerald's, 6615 W Roosevelt Rd, Berwyn (708-788-2118). $15. Los Straitjackets's annual show would be a delight even with the volume turned down. Who can argue with three scantily clad ladies doing synchronized steps while four men in masks play early '60s instrumental rock & roll À la the Ventures.
Apollo Chorus Messiah
Dec 10, 2pm, Symphony Center, Orchestra Hall (224 S Michigan Ave, 312-294-3000). Dec 18, 3pm, Harris Theater (205 E Randolph Dr, 312-334-7777). The granddaddy of Chicago Christmas traditions ho-ho-hos its way downtown for the annual singing of Handel's Messiah. In the luster of Orchestra Hall, surrounded by your fellow parka-clad citizens, you'll find that nothing can cure the (potential) holiday doldrums like Messiah, especially when you hear it along with 2,000 other people. Conductor Stephen Alltop is well known around here for his choral expertise, and with him leading the affair, your traditional Messiah is in good hands (and voices).
Concert for Peace: Transcending Aggression
Dec 13, 7:30pm. Harris Theater (205 E Randolph Dr, 312-334-7777). Strictly speaking, this isn't a Christmas concert, but it is Fulcrum Point's annual Concert for Peace, and that's close enough. Stephen Burns brings in his usual wide-ranging set of composers to celebrate peace from a variety of ethnic viewpoints. On the American side are Lou Harrison and John Harbison, who both contribute works for small ensemble and voice. Baritone Timothy Jones takes on the voice duties, surrounded by two trumpets, percussion and strings in Harbison's "Ain't Goin' to Study War No Mo'" and by strings only in Harrison's "Peace Piece Three: Little Song on the Atom Bomb."
Music of the Baroque
Dec 16, 8pm. St. Michael's Church (1633 N Cleveland Ave, 312-551-1414). The brass section of MoB largely comes from the Chicago Symphony, or its former members, which puts these concerts into the strongly recommended column. It's not the usual fare of carols, either, but traditional works that still sound like the holidays, and they all predate the time of J.S. Bach. German composer Michael Praetorius's "Es ist ein Rose entsprungen" ("Lo, How a Rose is Blooming") will sound plenty familiar, along with the booming Gabrieli and touching work by Heinrich Schütz that MoB plans.
Tidings of Tap
Dec 16–18. Vittum Theatre (1012 N Noble St, 773-655-1175, www.chicagotaptheatre.com). $15–$25. Tired of shelling out for the Nutcracker? Chicago Tap Theatre does the holidays Savion Glover-style with a tap-dance showcase including pieces with Christmas, Hanukkah and winter themes, all of it backed by jazz and holiday music.
Santa Rampage on bikes
Dec 18, noon. Meet at Twisted Spoke (501 N Ogden Ave, 312-666-1500). Free. Don your Santa cap and beard, take a nip (or a few hundred) of some grog, and get ready to pedal through the streets of downtown Chicago in the wildest bicycle party of the winter. The folks who participate in this raucous roll are a rowdy bunch, so expect a heckuva lot of naughty behavior. After all, the ride takes place a full week before Christmas, so Santa has plenty of time to recover from his wicked hangover.
Music Box holiday sing-along: White Christmas and It's aWonderful Life
Dec 21–24. Music Box Theatre (3733 N Southport Ave, 773-871-6604). $10–$15. For the last 22 years, the Music Box has marked the holidays with a special showing of these two seasonal classics, with a sing-along thrown in for good measure. It's a Wonderful Life obviously doesn't lend itself much to singing, but White Christmas has just the right note of campiness and easy-to-remember lyrics. During the intermission, Saint Nick leads a sing-along with a little help from organist Mark Noller.
Winter solstice sunrise concerts
Dec 21–23, 6am. Links Hall Studio (3435 N Sheffield Ave, second floor, 773-871-5318). $15. Who said jazz musicians don't wake up early? For the 15th straight year, experimental percussionists Michael Zerang and Hamid Drake will welcome the winter solstice with sunrise ritual concerts, beginning at 6am on three consecutive mornings. The duo will perform hour-long, structured improvisation with instruments from North Africa, the Middle East and East India, and a frame drum that has roots in ancient Mesopotamia. Affection between the players runs deep (Zerang calls Drake "one of the greatest drummers alive today"), but it's their sensitivity to how many universes of sound are in a drum that will coax us out of bed.
Dining out on Christmas Eve
Not everyone has the luxury of a Norman Rockwell Christmas feast—or the desire to have one. For us, a memorable tradition involves letting someone else do the work, and for that we rely on some of the city's best chefs. Chef Randy Zweiban of Nacional 27 (325 W Huron St, 312-664-2727) injects Cuban flavor into the $40, four-course Christmas Eve spread with options like roasted suckling pig, bacalao fritters and drunken sponge cake. For American-style indulgence, the romantic Christmas Eve candlelight dinner at mk the restaurant (868 N Franklin St, 312-482-9179) is tough to beat. Forget the boughs of holly; mk will be decked out with Périgord black truffle pasta, tuna tartare and roasted Hudson Valley duck. And if you're looking for A Christmas Story–style tradition, head for Chinatown and take your pick of spots notoriously Anglo-packed on the Christian holiday. We suggest Mandarin Kitchen (2143 S Archer Ave, 312-328-0228) for the soul-warming hot pots, but don't expect any mangled renditions of "Deck the Halls."
Hanukkah on Devon
A menorah and some candles are as close as Walgreens, but if you want to celebrate with traditional foods, head to Devon. There, Tel-AvivBakery (2944 W Devon Ave, 773-764-8877) will bake Hanukkah cookies and sufganiot, those delectable Israeli jelly doughnuts. Next door, you'll find latkes in an unlikely place: Good Morgan Kosher Fish Market (2948 W Devon Ave, 773-764-8115), where, come December 24, cooks will shred potatoes and onions on a daily basis to make fresh, warm latkes. Don't want to trek that far north? Ina's (1235 W Randolph St, 312-226-8227) will serve latkes, brisket and matzo-ball soup in the West Loop.
The Girlie-Q Variety Hour'sHo-Ho-Holiday Follies
Nov 27; door at 7pm, show at 8pm. HotHouse, 31 E Balbo Dr (312-362-9707). $10, 21 and up. Get ready to add a little ho to your holidays. This queer-themed variety show mixes vaudeville, striptease and burlesque with a nod to spoken word, drag, performance art and, of course, Santa Claus. Performers including Titi Touche, Bevvie O'Bosom and Miss Bea Haven "dive into issues that are political, sexy, thoughtful, funny and personal."
The Second City'sDysfunctional Holiday Revue
Thurs–Sun, Nov 25–Dec 30. Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, 111 W Campbell St, Arlington Heights (847-577-2121). $22–$27. The theater's touring company, a group of up-and-coming performers who travel the world bringing the Second City gospel to the masses, puts on this holiday-themed show of classic sketches and improvisation.
Kosher Fish Market
(2948 W Devon Ave, 773-764-8115), where, come December 24, cooks will shred potatoes and onions on a daily basis to make fresh, warm latkes. Don't want to trek that far north? Ina's (1235 W Randolph St, 312-226-8227) will serve latkes, brisket and matzo-ball soup in the West Loop.

South Miami Hospital, a suburban community facility, was ranked the No. 1 hospital in South Florida in a survey released Tuesday by U.S. News & World Report — a study that generally favors large academic medical centers.
Last year, the combined entity of "University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital" was ranked No. 1 among 74 hospitals in the area. UM/Jackson fell to No. 2 this year. Cleveland Clinic in Weston was ranked third, while Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami — ranked tops for eye care in the nation — was listed fourth on the general region list. Baptist in Kendall and Memorial West in Pembroke Pines tied for fifth.
"This is a huge, huge win for us," said Thinh Tran, chief quality officer at Baptist Health South Florida, the system that owns South Miami.
Tran acknowledged that the magazine's report traditionally has listed academic centers at the top when measuring quality of care, patient safety and physicians' views of a hospital's reputation in the community.
South Miami ranked No. 42 in the country in geriatrics and No. 47 in orthopedics, the U.S. News website reported. It also was listed as "high-performing" in nine other specialties.
The UM/Jackson entity had eight high-performing adult specialties and eight nationally ranked pediatric programs. It was the ninth year in a row that Bascom Palmer has been tops in the nation for eye care.
Last year, Jackson heavily promoted its No. 1 ranking. On Tuesday, spokesman Edwin O'Dell said. "Jackson continues to strive for excellence to meet the medical needs of our community, and we're still ranked among the best hospitals in South Florida."
The others in the top 10 were Mount Sinai, at No. 7, Doctors at No. 8, Holy Cross at No. 9 and Homestead, No. 10. The full list is available at health.usnews.com/best-hospitals/area/miami-fort-lauderdale-fl

Penn Apparel Found In Swanky Department Store
Woah, look at this Penn t-shirt spotted in Saks Fifth Avenue in Chicago! It's shown here securing the fifth spot, just underneath Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, and Columbia. The next-to-bottom shelf has never looked so fashionable.
In summation, these clothing positions almost have no relation to US News' national universities rankings. Almost.

In the past few years the travel industry has formed such a close relationship with the internet that travel web sites became the equivalent to operators shop fronts.
They achieved this by keeping pace with the high speed world of e-commerce and offering customers the possibility of booking their travel with just a click of their mouse. The industry adapted to the internet business model very quickly and is now reaping the returns from this.

Review of Engagement/Wedding Ring
by Patrick Jul 11th 2013
Contact Michelle and work with her. You won't regret it. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, was very friendly and was always available for communication, and delivered a higher quality ring at a lower cost than I thought I would ever find.
I was looking for a very custom engagement ring, and spoke with a variety of Makers and other business before being contacted by Michelle. Unlike everyone else, she exhibited confidence, excitement, and friendliness. There was no sense of business pressure, no sense of trying to get my money or seeing how cheap she could make the product. She put me immediately at ease and offered me multiple ways of contacting her. She was always available and usually responded within just a few hours with any questions I had. When I told her my budget and what I was hoping to receive in the end, she gave me a rough quote of three times LESS than I was expecting and still delivered the a higher quality ring than I was expecting. During the entire proce... Read more -
Review of Two Tone Diamond and Emerald Ring
by Matt Apr 28th 2013
My experience working with Michelle has been excellent. From the first time I had communicated with her via Custom Made, she has always made herself available via e-mail or telephone to provide guidance on everything from gem selection, to choices in metal and design.
I've never felt pressured from her, and quite to the contrary, Michelle will not try and sell you a stone you cannot afford, or insist on clarities or colors, etc that might not matter to the average consumer. I gave Michelle a realistic budget to work within, and she did her best to observe that parameter.
I must have gone through 11 different jewelers, some who made proposals without even asking what sort of metal in which I wanted my finance's ring cast, but most who simply either did not understand the style I had envisioned in my mind, or told me that such a ring could not be made and offered alternative designs which were unacceptable.
Michelle was able to work with me using an (admittedly) crude drawin... Read more -
