You will need:
- water
- blue dish-soap (any brand seems to work)
- 100% Silicone (do not buy quick set silicone, you need 100% silicone)
- bowl
- caulking gun
- something you want to make a mold of.
- scissors/knife
- masking tape - to patch holes in your positive, if necessary.
Step 1: Make your catalyzing solution.
This is by no means an exact science, I use blue dish soap because it allows me to see how much I have added to a water bath, I approximate that I used 4 oz. of soap in 64 oz. of water.
Step 2: Catalyzing the silicone.
I use the whole tube usually.
Step 3: Preparing the silicone.
When it begins to become a bit less malleable, and stiffen, it is time to sink your positive into your material. In this case, Mike helped me, and we used his dinosaur, Jesus. (hay-zoos)
I've seen this method somewhere but with a different appliance technique. Though I can find anywhere if this type of Silicone mold will be good to try and make smooth clear plastic casts, do you know if it will? I saw some youtube video trying to say Platinum cured silicon is pretty much the only one for that...
That would definitely be the case - this method is a bit rough, but still great for quick and dirty casting.
Thanks for the reply! It's been a while since I actually had someone answer me when I ask about things like this. Anyway, I was hoping this method could atleast even be capable of smooth surfaces due to the smooth-on molding material are far too expensive just to try and mold small parts.
I guess I'll have to deal with it though if I want my result to come out any kinda of professional quality. Thank you for your time!
working on making spec soap requests
This is amazing! I can't wait to try it out. I have some questions, maybe someone knows the answers?
How did you make it a complete figure? Cast the other half and then glue? Can you cover it in two halves of silicone? What's a good way to do this?
Can you cast any material, like plaster, fine sement or molten plastic in this?
Is it a good idea to use a bit of Vaseline on the casting object to make it easier to detach or is this simple anyway with silicone?
I am trying to recreate a hand mold made in my patio concrete from my children's hands and our then dog's paw prints. The impression is in the pressed and colored material. We are moving to a new house and I want to preserve their prints for posterity. I think I may need 2 ft square more or less how would I apply it? and my idea is to then pour plaster of paris (spelling) over mold to recreate the original impression.... then air brush paint a patina. so Qs are:
1. how much silicone is needed? And how do I apply
2. what do you suggest I use and by what method should I apply the plaster
This doesn't seem feasible for larger projects, how dissapointing. (I'm make various custom things and decided I want to make two custom electric guitars for myself, one out of wood and another out of either fiberglass and resin or carbon fiber and resin (with a custom airbrushed paintjob) and a silicon mold seems the best option for this (since the resin one will be the same design as the wooden one)(
Any suggestions for how to make a silicone mold for large objects?
equal parts cornstarch and silicone using baby oil to mix it well into a paste them spread it over your item that you want to mold. it cures quickly so work fast
My methodology is to make cardboard, or coroplast negative molds, and then coat them with silicone. The Silicone doesn't machine all that well, but I have found that cake decorating tools are the best for spreading it, and making even layers.
that's really not feasible for my projects, I was hoping I could just build a square of wood and put the object in it and pour silicone over it (once it solidifies I could just flip it over and pry the object out)
My workflow will require the additional structural integrity to make sure the mold doesn't deform too much while I apply carbon fiber and resin (causes air bubbles and looks bad, sometimes it cracks altogether)
Further I'd prefer if the mold was re-usable
Any idea how I could achieve this? I tried googling it but apparently most people don't cast very large objects
If you look into costume and prop making I think you'll find some pretty decent sized items being cast. The silicone of choice tends to be a Smooth-On product. I haven't personally used it, as it is a bit expensive to just play around with and I haven't needed it for anything that justified the expense, but everyone who uses it swears by it.
Oh? This seems to be what I need actually
"Project Specific - Smooth-On's wide range includes mold rubbers that can be poured on , brushed on , sprayed on or pressed on to any original sculpture and will reproduce detail perfectly. Reproductions can be cast in urethane plastic, epoxy resin, plaster, concrete, and more."
thanks ^^
No problem.
Can you cast metal in this silicon mold?
I've never tried! Maybe low melting point metals like pewter
So just to be clear, the soap only speeds up the curing right? It's not required?
I'm not sure if the soap affects the curing, but it keeps the silicone from sticking to your hands and the mixing bowl by forming a release layer between you and the silicone. It doesn't have to be expensive soap; any clear (not creamy-looking) hand or dish soap from a discount dollar store would work ok.
I would like to make a mold out of real strawberries to use in my soap making. I was in hopes to be able to put the silicone into something like a shoe box or smaller with about 10 strawberries, maybe 12. What would you suggest? Thanks!
Hi :) I love this instructable. I was wondering if you might know if this method of mold making would be safe to use with cooking. I would like to make some fondant molds but not sure if it is safe to put food stuff on this silicone. Thanks for sharing this project :)
Just passing along information. Be sure to check for food safe ratings! Interestingly enough many aquarium 100% silicone sealants are food safe (again, just keep an eye out for the rating). Aside from that most of the food grade sealants I have found can withstand 400F when fully cured!
example product, not favoring: http://www.amazon.com/Clear-Food-Grade-Silicone-Sealant/dp/B005XP5HO6
DEFINITELY NOT! I think there is food safe silicone, if you need it.
I will be testing this out tomorrow with this product on a candy mold. It lists on the package that it can come in contact with food. http://t.homedepot.com/p/DAP-2-8-oz-Silicone-Aquarium-Sealant-00688/100128841/
So I tried this and finally succeeded - right silicone, dish soap. The mold came out nice (any imperfections were my own fault) and it even dried within a few hours. I made two molds. I poured my resin and when I popped the piece out, it was eaten away and tacky, like the surface of the moon only a lot grosser. It wasn't cured all the way and the parts that had touched silicone felt like melted gummy bears. It reeked of vinegar (No idea why, since vinegar went nowhere near this project). The inside of the mold had resin residue, all tacky.
I waited a full day, washed the second mold out thoroughly, thinking maybe the dish soap reacted or it was a bad batch of resin. Nope - tried it again, this time put half in the silicone mold and half in another plastic mold for control. Resin cured fine in the plastic but was still eaten away and tacky in the silicone mold. Not just in the cavity - I put a drop on the flat part of the mold, and that won't even come off it's so tacky. I have absolutely no clue why this happened.
I used:
GE Silicone I 100% Silicone for the caulk (tried it with II and it was a noxious failure)
Dawn dish soap
Wilton Liquid Glycerin
EasyCast Epoxy Resin
Tap Water
I use resin to make jewelry, and it sounds to me like you need to try a new resin. It doesn't sound like the resin is setting right, which has nothing to do with the mold. I would try a different resin mix. Could it be there is something wrong with your product- too old, not mixed right by the company? Good luck in the future.
I just tried this method and it is super easy! Thanks so much. I used Dap 100% silicone. It has a very low odor that I am sure will dissipate over time. This method is going to save me a ton of money and much search time.
hey I am from India, has anyone tried from this part of the world, if so can any one let what ingredients (make of silicone) and can you let me know where i can find resin?
Is this food safe? I would like to make a mold for making candy lego.
Is there a limit on the thickness of the mold walls? I know that most tubes of silicone say to not exceed 1/8" thickness. Will this technique permit thicker walls?
thanks, Audrey.
can you tell me how to make right and left direction molds from an object?
eg, if I have a right facing giraffe, how do I make a left facing giraffe?
again, thanks for sharing, tubaska
Are you needing to make a 2-part mold?
thanks, tubaska
Done this today. I'm still waiting for it to set. How long will it set? I did full object (chicken) mold. I'm planning to use clay afterwards for my chickens. Hope it will go all well.
*fingers crossed
Awesome! You should share with the I Made It Button!
hi i need to make a silicone mold thats crystal clear. the objects i insert into the resin needs to be precise. what brand would i use. The mold needs to be as clear as possible. Thanks
I don't think this method would work. All the molds are typically cloudy.
Why does it need to be blue dish soap? Is there a particular ingredient in it that isn't in other colors of dish soap?
No particular ingredient, it's just a way to visually measure concentration of the solution.
Great tutorial and great idea, I'll try it :)
Hello, thanks for this, I need to make a crystal clear mold. Is this possible with that certian brand silicone?I need to place objects in the resin very precisely, so i need the mold to be as clear as possible. thanks

EAU CLAIRE, WI (WTAQ) - A federal block grant program will no longer be run by the state public-private Economic Development Corporation, after officials in Washington raised concerns.
Walker Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch told the corporation's board in Eau Claire Tuesday that his agency will handle the federal business grant funds.
That's after the Department of Housing and Urban Development questioned the legality of letting the economic agency award the funds.
Among other things, HUD said the state failed to check the financial condition of two companies that got almost $1.5 million in federal money – a northwest Wisconsin industry got twice as much as the federal program allows – 11 block grant loans were deemed forgivable, in violation of federal policies – and the state never got required federal approval to spend almost $9 million for various projects at the end of 2011.
When this news first came out in August, board members were angry that they were not informed. Democratic state Assembly Leader Peter Barca said it's unfortunate that the problem was not identified before the economic corporation was formed in 2011.
Meanwhile, the corporation's board also reviewed a second report on suggestions to create numerous checks and balances that have been missing in the agency.
A subsidiary of the Wisconsin Bankers Association said the agency need firm policies on tracking the loans it currently has with businesses – and collecting the ones that have gone bad. That's after a report found that millions of dollars in state loans were never checked on after the old Commerce Department disbanded and the new agency started.
The board's chairman – Governor Scott Walker – said the agency's accounting failures are taking away from its mission of creating jobs. He also defended most of the corporation's employees, saying they're doing good work – but he says the problems need to be corrected.

Private Equity is Circling This Jeans Designer
Robert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In November, jeans manufacturer True Religion Apparel (NASDAQ: TRLG) announced that it was looking to go private and take itself out of the public spotlight. Perhaps as a result of its lower brand name recognition, the company doesn't attract much interest from investors, trading at a low 13 P/E multiple that is below the valuations of larger peers Ralph Lauren (NYSE: RL) and Coach (NYSE: COH). With billions in annual sales, both of these competitors have done a much better job of creating mass market brands through the licensing of a variety of products. Investors might be missing the boat here, though, since True Religion has enviable assets, including a loyal customer base, a $200 million cash position, and a consistent record of profitability.
Building a Religion
Founded in 2003, True Religion manufactures fashion jeans and related denim apparel for the premium-priced market, with a pair of its jeans selling for an average price of $255 in FY 2011. In addition to its signature jeans, the company also sells denim-based shirts, jackets, and sportswear. True Religion started as a wholesale supplier to the upscale department and specialty stores, but it has increasingly moved into the retail area with its own global store base.
In its latest fiscal year, the company reported increases in revenues and operating income of 15.4% and 6.7%, respectively, versus the prior year. Sales growth benefited from an additional 15 stores in operation and a 10.9% increase in comparable sales in the U.S. market. While True Religion's gross margin rose due to a greater percentage of sales from company-owned stores, its operating margin was negatively affected by the costs associated with building and maintaining its own stores.
In FY2012, the company has continued on an expansion path, opening an additional 22 stores in the U.S. and select international markets through the end of September. However, True Religion has generated mixed sales results during the period, with a 12% gain in the U.S. segment and a 1% decline in the international segment. Its operating margin also continued a multi-year decline, as the overhead costs necessary to manage a global store base have grown faster than sales. Despite the near term growing pains, though, True Religion is still solidly profitable and maintains a rock-solid balance sheet.
Follow the Brand Leaders
As a standalone entity, True Religion needs to invigorate growth by broadening its brand beyond the premium-priced denim market via the licensing channel. While the company has engaged in some licensing activities, the segment accounted for less than 1% of total sales during the first nine months of 2012. This strategy has worked well for both Ralph Lauren and Coach.
Like True Religion, Ralph Lauren was founded by a fashion designer looking to build a brand from a quintessentially American style. Starting with the sales of ties, Ralph Lauren has become a $7 billion global apparel giant that includes men's, women's, and kid's clothing, fragrances, and home furnishings. The company also started as a wholesaler to department stores, but has amassed a store base of roughly 900 locations around the world.
In the first six months of FY2012, Ralph Lauren reported flat sales versus the prior-year period, with a fairly even split between the retail and wholesale markets. Despite the below-average sales growth, the company maintained its operating efficiency and generated substantial excess cash flow, which it used to enhance shareholder value through share repurchases and investments in its core brand. Ralph Lauren also isn't afraid to close underperforming units, as it closed its Rugby and American Living brands in 2012.
In a similar fashion, Coach's multibillion-dollar fashion empire started with the sale of a single product, high-quality, premium-priced handbags. While the bags still account for roughly 65% of total sales, the company has used its loyal customer base to sell a range of accessories and licensed products. In its latest fiscal year, Coach reported increases in revenues and operating income of 14.5% and 15.9%, respectively, versus the prior year. Despite near-term profit pressures due to economic weakness in certain international markets, Coach continues to invest in its brand and pursue growth opportunities, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Bottom Line
With a fairly cheap market valuation, True Religion is an interesting story with or without a buyout. It would make a good portfolio addition to a retail-focused investment firm like Sycamore Partners, which acquired U.S. retailer Talbot's during 2012. In the meantime, the company is making some good moves, including pursuing international growth opportunities and initiating a dividend. If it can successfully extend its brand and products to a wider market, it should significantly increase its market value. That makes True Religion one for the portfolio.

In November last year, CTC revealed that the Department's transport model forecast cycling levels would fall between 2015 and 2035.
At the time we questioned both why this was forecast, whether the forecast was accurate, and asked DfT officials for a meeting in order to discuss our concerns.
New figures, obtained by CTC through a parliamentary question, suggest that the Government's 'National Transport Model' is predicting an initial increase in cycle use, due to the economic downturn (from 2.9 bn miles in 2010 to 3.4 bn miles in 2015).
Earlier this week (on October 21st to 23rd), CTC hosted 3 days of talks with members of the Department for Transport's cycling policy team at CTC's national office.
These mainly focused on our aspirations for what should be included in the Government's forthcoming 'Cycling Delivery Plan', which will outline how David Cameron's promised 'Cycling Revolution' is to be achieved.

Overhead power lines that stretch across "The Square" in downtown Crozet are going underground. It's the beginning of the next phase of the town's $4 million streetscape improvement project.
The end to Albemarle County's long battle with railroad company CSX to control a parking lot in Crozet's "Square," makes way for this makeover. The county will pay to have Dominion Power dig up the lot and bury all the utility lines.
CSX worked out a deal over the summer to give "The Square" parking lot to the county. That property was the final piece the county needed for the second phase of streetscape improvements. Dominion Power will bury the overhead lines that stretch across the parking lot and through the old Barnes Lumber property.
Business owners say putting the lines underground will make "The Square" a prettier place for people to do business.
Jean Seal with Crozet Hardware, said, "Appearances is what people look for, and if things look rundown and unkempt, people have a tendency to not stop."
Jack Kelsey, an Albemarle County transportation engineer, said, "We're now able to take all those lines, run them underground through this area, eliminate the poles and overhead wires from Crozet Avenue. It's really going to change the look."
County capital improvement funds, already set aside, will help pay for the project. Dominion estimates it will cost $477,000. The county expects construction to start later this fall and only take about two months.
The underground utility project is the first part of the streetscape's second phase. Currently, the county is finishing getting right of ways to make improvements along Crozet Avenue from "The Square" to the new library.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A worker is slowly getting better after he was burned at a Tomahawk packaging plant last month.
53-year-old Mike Slesicki of Tomahawk is off the critical list, and has been upgraded to fair condition at the UW Hospital's Burn Center in Madison.
Slesicki was injured on March 5th at the Packaging Corporation of America. The company said he was re-igniting a boiler that was down for maintenance, and he was following standard operating procedures when the boiler flared back at him.
PCA spokesman Dave Blank says his company's investigation is continuing. And the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration plans to return to the plant as part of its six-month investigation.
The Tomahawk plant makes container board and corrugated packaging materials. Five workers were killed at that plant in a pair of mishaps since 2008.

A Learning Community is a small group of first-year students who take two or more classes together.
- Students in a Learning Community receive personal attention as part of a supportive college family.
- Each Learning Community consists of 20 to 25 students who share similar interests or majors.
- Make friends faster: build a network of friends with classmates you see several times a week
- Learn about campus programs and services
- Adjust to college faster
- Earn a higher GPA than those students who do not participate in Learning Communities
- Lower your stress levels during the first semester in college
- Most Learning communities are seminar-based. Students in seminar-based Learning Communities take a First Year Seminar together with one or more general education course(s) (Sociology, Psychology, English, etc.) that is linked to that seminar.
- A few Learning Communities are program-based. Majors such as computer science, dance, engineering, music, and theatre have natural Learning Communities as part of their program and designate the courses students take together.
- A few Learning Communities are honors-based. Students who have accepted an Honors Program-funded scholarship earn credit for three Honors courses when they successfully complete all components of an Honors Learning Community.
A First Year Seminar is a college course that involves active learning. Generally the First Year Seminar course meets twice a week. Some examples of topics covered in First year Seminars include:
- Time management exercises
- Student life panel discussion
- Beer goggles exercises
- Academic integrity skits
- Service learning projects
- Out-of-class study groups
- Student-led reviews before exams
- Note-taking & how to study exercises
- How to understand college professors
- Small group discussion
- Field trips (Freedom Center, Art Institute)
- Wright State University athletic events
- Photo scavenger hunt
- Wheelchair basketball
- Diversity appreciation
- Low ropes course
Peer Instructors (upper-division students) teach some First Year Seminars, giving you access to someone who has "been there". Staff instructors also teach some First Year Seminars, providing more experience and knowledge of campus services and programs.
Wright State's tradition is for all freshmen to enroll in a Learning Community their very first semester/term at Wright State. The Learning Community will make your transition to college smooth and enjoyable, so it will be most beneficial in your first term.
Wright State offers fifty different kinds of Learning Communities, based on common academic, vocational,professional or even sports or recreational interest. Examples include:
- Business Majors
- College Success
- Engineered for Success - for Honors students
- Leadership & Service Learning
- Nursing Intensive
- Residential Living-Learning Community for students living on-campus
- Sports & Society
- Student clubs & Campus Involvement
- Undecided Students exploring careers & majors
- When you register for Orientation for fall term, you will fill out a survey that will allow you to indicate your Learning Community first, second, and third preferences.
- Some sections fill up fast, so select your Learning Community preferences and attend Orientation early. An advisor will add additional classes to complete a full-time schedule when you come to campus for Orientation.
- If you are beginning classes in Winter, Spring, or Summer Quarters, contact University College at (937) 775-5750 for information on joining a Learning Community.
For more information about Learning Communities, contact Coordinator of First Year Programs firstname.lastname@example.com or First Year Programs office at (937) 775-5780.

Laminectomy and Laminotomy
Laminectomy and laminotomy are surgeries done to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and/or spinal nerve roots by removing all or part of the lamina. The lamina, the thin part of the bones that make up the spine (vertebrae), protects the spinal cord.
Age-related changes in the spine may narrow the opening through which the spinal cord runs (spinal canal), and the spinal cord and/or nerve roots may become squeezed. Laminotomy removes part of the lamina. Laminectomy removes all of the lamina on selected vertebrae. It also may remove thickened ligament tissue. The choice of procedure depends on the location and severity of the spinal problem. Reducing pressure on the nerve roots often can relieve leg or arm pain and allow resumption of normal daily activities.

Co-presented with the Silk Screen Asian American Film Festival.
The late Roger Ebert called this enchanting film "one of the five best movies ever made for children." The animated classic is a deceptively simple tale of two girls who move to a new house in the country. They soon discover the surrounding forests are home to a family of Totoros – gentle but powerful creatures (like oversized pandas with bunny ears ) who live in a huge old tree and are seen only by children. At its core, this delightful film is about our relationship to nature and the Earth.

Pact of Umar
Covenant of Umar also known as Pact of Umar (Arabic: شروط عمر or عهد عمر or عقد عمر), is an apocryphal treaty between the Muslims and Christians of Syria that later gained a canonical status in Islamic jurisprudence. There are several versions of the pact, differing both in structure and stipulations.[1] While the pact is traditionally attributed to the second Caliph Umar ibn Khattab,[2] some early jurists and orientalists have doubted this attribution.[1]
In general, the pact contains a list of restrictive measures and prohibitions on non-Muslims (dhimmis). By abiding to them, non-Muslims are granted security of their persons, their families, and their possessions, although they did not enjoy the same rights as the Muslims.[3][4][5][6] Other rights and stipulations may also apply. According to Ibn Taymiyya, one of the jurists who accepted the authenticity of the pact, the dhimmis have the right "to free themselves from the Covenant of 'Umar and claim equal status with the Muslims if they enlisted in the army of the state and fought alongside the Muslims in battle."[3]
Several versions of the pact exist, with differences and similarities in literary structure and words used, in addition to which stipulations are included.[1]
This extensive document lays out a full list of limitations, restrictions and measures on Christians and Jews, in exchange for their safety (amān),[7] the safety of their property, and their religious freedom.[8]
In one version of the pact, guidelines are mentioned and outlined as to how non-Muslims should dress in public. For identification purposes Jews were ordered to dress in certain colors. These regulations can be seen as the precursor badges Jews were required to wear during the 20th century in eastern Europe.[9]The implementation of these set guidelines were in order to foster and promote relations between various ethnic groups, rather than simply discriminate against a specific religious group. These laws did not affect the stability and condition of living. In addition to dress, non-Muslims were also prohibited from doing a variety of other things. [9]
Christians as well as Jews were prohibited from building or repairing ruined places of worship in Islamic lands. Other restrictions prohibited public processions, funerals or any mark of polytheism in public including wearing Arab garb. Other fundamental restrictions included the prohibition of teaching the koran to non-Muslims, while at the same time allowing non-Muslim children to convert or embrace Islam if they so chose to. Non-Muslims were also not permitted to carry any type of weapon such as swords. [9]
In one version of the pact, based on an anonymous class handout at University of Edinburgh in 1979, several clauses emphasised the superiority of Muslims; Christians were expected to behave respectfully to them and to give them priority in seating and in road. They were also prohibited from building overtopping those of the Muslims. Other clauses stipulated that while Christians may convert to Islam, they were prohibited from proselytising Muslims, learning Arabic, and studying the Quran.[10]
Origin and authenticity[edit]
The historical origin of the document may lie an agreement made between the Muslim conquerors and the Christians of Jazira or Damascus which was later extended to Ahl al-Dhimma elsewhere.[7]
Some modern historians suggest that the document was based on Umar's Assurance, a treaty concluded between Umar ibn Khattab and the Patriarch of Jerusalem, Sophronius following the capture of Jerusalem by the Rashidun Caliphate.[8]
Despite being attributed to Umar by early Muslim jurists, most modern scholars are of the opinion that the document was either the work of 9th century Mujtahids (Tritton, Antoine Fattal), or was forged during the reign of the Umayyad Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, with other clauses added later (De Goeje, Salo Baron, Norman Stillman and habib zayyat). Other scholars (Bernard Lewis, Albrecht Noth, Mark R. Cohen), concluded that the document may have originated in immediate post-conquest milieu and was stylized by later historians.[7]

A nearly 10-foot long python slithered away from his owner, whose truck broke down on Interstate 670 near downtown.
The man was traveling on the highway near U.S. 71 when his vehicle broke down. He then noticed his python had slithered away and he feared it had gotten out of his vehicle.
He called police who determined the python was in the dashboard.
The snake was snared and the vehicle was towed away.
This all unfolded about 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Product Information Menu
Women today face a growing number of health issues, including the need to support DNA gene structure in the breast. Detrimental factors such as the aging process, along with the daily bombardment of environmental estrogen-like compounds, demonstrate the need to support a woman's breast cellular structure.
A wealth of research shows that specific plant extracts can positively influence cellular status and remove some of the anxiety that women face about maintaining a healthy balance of estrogens.
Estrogen is broken down in the body into two important metabolites. Those metabolites are the good 2-hydroxyestrone and the bad 16 alpha-hydroxyestrone. Scientists have identified nutrients like indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that can tip the delicate balance of estrogens in favor of the good form.31-33
Women seeking to proactively restore their youthful hormonal balance can now take a phytonutrient-based formula that helps support healthy estrogen activity and detoxification. Some of the active ingredients in the Breast Health Formula are:
Breast Health Formula provides nutrients that have demonstrated broad-spectrum support for preserving optimal breast health.

Inspired teaching engages community college students
David Cooper's students tell him he teaches as though he's on a game show: He paces across the classroom. He recites poetry. He asks questions, tells stories and generally exhibits a passion and energy that captivates—and is difficult to contain.
"I have to teach on my feet," says Cooper, co-president of the Kentucky Faculty/Staff Alliance, AFT Local 1360, and professor of English and African-American history at Jefferson Community and Technical College in Louisville, Ky. He recently received the 2011 Acorn Award from the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education for "excellence and commitment to students" in Kentucky's public colleges and universities.

"David represents the best of our faculty," says colleague Anne Kearney, who team-taught history and American literature with him. "Whether he is teaching the use of the apostrophe or encouraging students to write poetry, the success of his students is always uppermost."
Cooper, who has been at Jefferson Community and Technical College for 28 years, has always wanted to be a college teacher. "I love to learn, I love to teach, and I love to interact with students," he says. "That's what gets me out of bed in the morning. I don't think of what I do as work."
Teaching African-American studies is especially rewarding, as Cooper's own history includes activism and a commitment to justice. His firsthand involvement in the black power movement brings course material to life, but Cooper also taps more current references; he is just as likely to reference rapper Nicki Minaj as he is to quote Langston Hughes or, as he once did for a civil rights presentation, act out the part of Thurgood Marshall.
Offering this sort of fare at a community college is particularly gratifying, says Cooper, where a diverse student body allows him to reach all kinds of students. "This is democracy at work," he says. And, for a man who grew up in a poor Louisville neighborhood with parents from the Jim Crow South, that's especially meaningful.
"For me, education has been the key that has opened so many doors and taken me to places beyond my wildest dreams," he told an audience at the Acorn Award ceremony. One of those dreams has been to go to Paris: With the $5,000 Acorn honorarium, he plans to do exactly that.
More important, Cooper's dream is to continue to educate. "Far too many of our young people in both urban ghettos and rural ghettos have their talents wasted," he said, then quoted Thomas Gray: "Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air." Cooper's aim is to waste no talent, and continue to nurture his students.

VIP passes include complimentary beer, wine and food
By Chris Fish
BREVARD -- Five days of offshore power-boat racing will hit the Space Coast May 15-19 during the fourth annual "Thunder on Cocoa Beach: The Space Coast Super Boat Grand Prix."
Sunday, May 19, is race day at the Cocoa Beach Pier, Alan Shepard Park and Lori Wilson Park. Organizers said the boats will launch from the pits next to the Bluepoints Marina in Port Canaveral.
The start and finish line are offshore from Alan Shepard Park at the end of State Road 520.
Organizers said the races are run in two heats. Race one begins at noon, and race two follows afterward at 1:30 p.m.
Before the race, several VIP events are scheduled to help guests get into the racing spirit.
"We're expecting this year's (event) to be bigger and better than ever," said Kerry Bartlett, race director. "We've got more boats lined up than last year and have added some awesome new perks for our VIP Pass holders."
New Perks for VIP Pass holders include premium race viewing at the Cocoa Beach Pier, Lori Wilson Park and Alan Shepard Park. Each premium viewing area includes its own VIP hospitality tent, serving complimentary food, beer, wine and soft drinks, as well as tiered seating, so guests won't miss any of the races.
Organizers said the race weekend begins on Wednesday, May 15, with an early VIP Sponsor Party at Juice N' Java Café in Downtown Cocoa Beach from 6 to 11 p.m. Along with live music, guests can enjoy complimentary food, beer, wine and soft drinks.
Other events and activities will continue throughout the weekend.
A preview of the race will also take place on Saturday, May 18, from noon to 5 p.m. from the Wet Hot Pits, next to Bluepoints Marina in Port Canaveral to Jetty Park, as each racer performs test runs. Organizers said the best place to view the boats during their test runs is from the decks of any of the restaurants in the Port, including Milliken's Reef, Baja Tavern & Eats, Rusty's Seafood & Oyster Bar, Fishlips Waterfront Bar & Grill and Grills Seafood Deck & Tiki Bar.
The weekend will conclude with an award's ceremony at Port Canaveral on Sunday, as well as a race after party at Mambo's at the International Palms Hotel in Cocoa Beach, featuring a performance from Jamaikin Me Crazy from 4-10 p.m.

A church in Birmingham, Ala. says its unusual billboard is grabbing people's attention and making patrons of a local strip club think twice about how they spend their money, MyFoxAL.com reports.The Rock Church's sign quotes Jesus from Hebrews, saying, "Strip for me." Officials say the message is to convince people to spend money in a way that will better serve their family rather than spend it in a strip club.The sign is located just behind the Palace Gentlemen's Club sign in the city's downtown. Pastor Mike McClure, Jr., said that he anticipated some negative reaction to the billboard but said he doesn't mind."We strategically picked the strip club because we want the brothers who are walking in...to know God has a greater cause for your life," he told MyFoxAl.com.McClure says billboard contains a clear religious message."The scripture says...slows down, maybe your life is slow because of stuff you need to strip off. When you begin to strip watch how fast your life goes," he said.McClure said that he wants to convince men to stay out of strip clubs and spend more time working to be a better father and family member. He says the goal is to make Birmingham a better place."It all starts with a good man in the house," he said.

In a show of support, a group of about a dozen players including first round pick Andrew Luck shaved their heads after Tuesday's practice.
Pagano has already lost his hair while undergoing treatment.
On Monday Pagano's doctor says he's in complete remission.
