As you look outside your office window today, you're likely overtaken by the sheer beauty. Blowing snow. People hunched over, freezing, trying to walk into a 30MPH wind. You're probably reading from the script of American Beauty:

Or, maybe you're just thinking "Oh f#@!, I have to drive home in this s*$#."
Either way, we're here to lift your spirits.

Science Firsthand - Partners in Discovery
At an after school program recently, some kids were doing homework, some were on computers and some were in the gym. But a small group of fourth-graders were designing and building boats out of household products- plastic cups, construction paper, and tape. They had been building and modifying their boats throughout the week, trying a few different design and construction plans. Now they were ready to race them across a tub of water, using a fan to power them across. After deal … - Today, 8:00am

Griffis III Latest Sculpture - A Polarizing Piece
Larry Griffis III is a well-known Buffalo figure whose experience with steel is not only his passion, but his birthright. Some may know of his father’s sculpture park in South Buffalo, founded in the 60s, but his son has taken up the torch and is now a world-renowned sculpture. What started with the father has continued with the son. Griffis III’s work is starting to appear in spots in Buffalo and now, to see one of his works, you need look no further than Forest Lawn Chapel.

Shameless plug department - The Channel 17 auction is winding down. They have great merchandise (Pink MartiniCDs are great)and a worthy cause. Everything not sold during the auction ends up at the garage sale they will have at the studio on May 20 starting at 9. Will stop in again later tonight (2 wakes to go to, life ain't good today)

Shake up a bottle of Molson Canadian and use that. Better than a pressure washer. I call the remnants "snacks"

Can't stay long but, want to thank QE for the post on Front Park. I had been wondering what "evil" the PBA might be up to now that they're (seemingly) out of the spotlight.Glad to find out that a) this is actual PROGRESS! and b) it is under the guidance of Olmsted Parks C. (yea!!!) I even took the liberty of calling QE's source to ask about a few other things. He will be calling me back in a week or so. From other comments on that post, there are other way more attuned than I on the Porter / Plaza / Park plans and their status. I really really really hope you will keep this topic active as it is the gateway to our fair city from Canada. and I--190, Olmsted AND Ellicott designed and fairly intact (unlike some other spokes on the radial plan). Thanks again. Must go back and see if more comments are added to that post and then, am back to work! Happy hour, yeah, right!

i know this is a Yum question, but does anyone know the story on the new little Italian restaurant Vino, on Elmwood near Amherst next to Carriage Trade Pastries? I've been waiting and waiting for it to open.....looks so cute.

i have a quesion - with all this hype about the new ethanol plant: what exactly is that coming out of the smoke stacks in the photos i see published of other ethanol plants? what are the byproducts? i can't assume that a state government that treats western new york like a read headed step child would be taking our collective health into consideration; however i am hoping somebody does have this aspect covered. it is suspect to me that this is all happening in the farthst reaches (here) of new york state from pataki's and schumer's beloved downstate. i hate to sound so skeptical of a possible local revenue boost, but the barely placating crumbs that have historically been thrown this way are getting more and more obvious to me as these projects have unfolded. or is it just me? i guess that was more than one question...
