The Adventures Of Tintin
Steven Spielberg's adaptation of the popular comic book character created by Belgian artist Herge in 1929 is his first foray into animation, and it seems to have rejuvenated him as a filmmaker. He does a brilliant job, and gives the character the blockbuster treatment he deserves. Working in collaboration with Peter Jackson and his WETA effects factory, Spielberg uses the latest in body motion technology (the same process used in films like The Polar Express, etc) to capture life like movements for his animated characters. The characters are life like and their movements are unusually natural and fluid, almost lifelike and at times its easy to forget that we're watching an animated film. And Spielberg also uses the 3D technology to good effect with this animated film.
Written by Edgar Wright, Joe Cornish and veteran television writer Steven Moffat (Sherlock, Dr Who, etc), the film remains faithful to Herge's creation. However it draws upon three adventures – including the 1943 story The Secret Of The Unicorn, along with Red Rackham's Treasure (1944) and The Crab With The Golden Claws (1941) for its material.
The story itself sees the quiffed, perennially youthful adventurer set out with his faithful dog Snowy to find The Unicorn, a long lost ship, and its buried treasure. When Tintin buys a model of the ship at the local market he finds himself targeted by the sinister Mr. Sakharine who resorts to murder and kidnapping to get his hands on the fabled treasure. Tintin discovers that there are three maps, all hidden within three model ships, and he needs to get his hands on all three in order to find the hidden treasure. The action itself races at break neck speed through a series of cliff hanger encounters that recalls Spielberg's earlier Raiders Of The Lost Ark, and has that feel of the old Saturday afternoon serial.
Jamie Bell (from Billy Elliott, etc) voices Tintin and breathes life and energy into the character. There is fine support from Andy Serkis, who brings humour to his role as the alcoholic Captain Haddock. Daniel Craig is menacing as the villainous Sakharine, while Simon Pegg and Nick Frost add some slapstick humour as the detective duo known as the Thompson Twins.
The Adventures Of Tintin is fantastic fun, and apparently a sequel is already in the works, which will be directed by Jackson.

I highly recommend you plot your position on a paper chart, especially when your electronics are working. How often you do this will depend upon your distance from land and hazards. Once you have your starting point on the chart, you can draw your intended course. Then it's a matter of plotting the distance (D) along the course using speed (S) and the elapsed time (T). Three formulas we all should know are D=ST, S=D/T, and T=D/S. You may want to get kids or grandkids involved in learning this as well. It will keep them busy and help to develop future mariners who know the basics. Next steps: Make sure you have a set of dividers, parallel rules, the correct paper charts, and some sharp pencils.
Easy Steps To Determine Distance-Off
Knowing your distance off land or a navigational aid is helpful. Even for peace of mind. During a passage along the coast of Eleuthera, we passed East End Point. Digging out our hand-bearing compass, I took a bearing on the light when it was 45 degrees off our port bow, maintained course, and then took another bearing when the light was 90 degrees off our port beam. The distance run between the two bearings is equal to the distance offshore. The two legs of the triangle that meet to form the 90-degree angle are equal. So if we traveled 4.2 miles from where the light was at 45 degrees to where it was at 90 degrees, then that point of land is 4.2 miles away. (On my old sailboat, I marked the 45- and 90-degree marks on my lifeline with tape.) Next steps: Include a hand-bearing compass in your navigational tools. They aren't just for racing.

2011 Regents Excellence Awards
The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents has honored both UW-Green Bay Prof. Regan A.R. Gurung for his outstanding career achievements in teaching, as well as the Professional Program in Education in the category of outstanding academic department, with the 2011 Regents Teaching Excellence Award - the UW System's top honor for outstanding teaching.
"These outstanding educators demonstrate extraordinary dedication and innovation in their teaching, and serve as exemplary role models for their colleagues and students," said UW SystemPresident Kevin P Reilly. "Our students are fortunate to have faculty and staff of this caliber." Gurung is UW-Green Bay's distinguished Ben J. and Joyce Rosenberg Professor of Human Development and Psychology.
He is a past recipient of the UW-Green Bay Founders Association Award for Excellence in Teaching (2004) as well as the Award for Excellence in Scholarship (2007). In Gurung's nomination materials for the Regents award, a colleague notes, "Students gush about how much they learn in his classes and how that learning changes their lives." In 2009 Gurung was selected Wisconsin Professor of the Year by the national Council for Advancement and Support ofEducation (CASE) and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The following year, UW-Green Bay awarded him a five-year term as Rosenberg Professor in recognition of his track record as a researcher, instructor and nationally prominent leader in modeling best practices in college teaching. Additionally, he was elected by his national peers to serve as 2011 president of the National Society for the Teaching of Psychology.
The Professional Program in Education has long been one ofUW-Green Bay's most heavily enrolled programs. More than 500 students are either majors, pre-majors or candidates for teaching certification in elementary education, or are pursuing disciplinary majors and certification in secondary education. Associate Prof. Timothy Kaufman serves as chairperson. Other full-time faculty members are associate professors Scott Ashmann, James Coates Jr., Mark Kiehn, Pao Lor, Patricia Ragan and Linda Tabers-Kwak; assistant professors SusanCooper, Steven Kimball and Karen Lieuallen; and senior lecturers Karen Bircher and Art Lacey.
This is the 19th consecutive year for the Regents Teaching Excellence Awards. Recipients are selected by a board subcommittee, which this year consisted of Regents Betty Womack (chair), Jeffrey Bartell, John Drew and Ed Manydeeds. Selection criteria include strong commitment to teaching and learning; use of effective teaching strategies to enhance student learning; and significant impact on students' intellectual development.

Nova Uniao fighter Leandro "Feijao" Souza died Thursday hours before weigh-ins for today's Shoot Brazil 43 card in Rio de Janeiro. The cause of death remains unknown at this time.
At Shooto Brazil 19 on Sunday, Hernani Perpetuo (blue gloves) took the vacant Shooto South America 167-pound title with a three-round unanimous decision win over "Junior Killer" Romario Silva. The fight was a rematch of an Aug. 6 bout which saw Silva win by technical submission when referee Mario Yamasaki waved off the fight due to an armbar. The show also hosted the opening two rounds of an eight-man 114-pound South American title tournament, where "Maicon" Willian Costa and Lincon de Sa each punched their tickets to the finals on Dec. 11. The winner of the tournament will likely head to Japan to challenge Shooto world champ Rambaa Somdet. Full results here. Photo by Eduardo Ferreira for Tatame.
Siyar Bahadurzada successfully defended his Shooto 183-pound world title in Rio de Janeiro on Friday, stopping Carlos "Indio" Pereira just 94 seconds into their main event bout at Shooto Brazil 17....
Shooto's South American branch is hosting one of its most important cards to date this Friday, with two world titles on the line and veteran referee Mario Yamasaki flying down to officiate.
"We'll probably have two world championship matches [at Shooto Brazil 17 on August 7th] and from now on Shooto Brazil will be responsible for deciding the American titles... We'll have the South American title and yet another title of the Americas," explains Andre Pederneiras, president of Shooto South America, revealing first-hand that Shooto will hold events in the United States or Canada in 2011.

Shooto South
Shooto's South American branch has released the full card for next Saturday's show in Flamengo, Brazil - and, as usual, it's loaded up with talent from Andre Pederneiras' Nova União camp.

Got these today and at first I thought I got the wrong pillows. The color is way off from the picture...much much darker and the cool detailing from the pic doesn't look anything like it when you have the pillows. Very disappointed!
The picture makes the product look much better then it does in person. Not too happy with it but am willing to keep it for now. In person it looks like a cheap version of an animal print fur. The only product i have purchased from overstock that I am not to crazy about. I did see it online at another site for more expensive then overstock though!
The picture makes the pillow look like its textured, but when I recieved them, its just a print. They are also very thin. Not thick like I thought they would be. I kept them anyway and they held up well, but we not what i hoped they would be.
Only thing I did not like was the white tag sewed on the pillow. You cannot cut it off near enough off the pillow to keep from the white showing on the gray pillow. In my opinion, it does not need the tag. No one would leave that big tag on the pillow hanging so that everone that looks at your bed, sees the tag. I cut off, but cannot cut close enough that the tag doesn't show.
I love the color and the feel of this pillow.........................................................
Super cool and stylish. Great to help update a room
LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE PILLOWS!!! Foe the price they are beautiful!!!
These are comfortable, well made and the thing I like most about them is that they match our floor pillows perfectly which I bought off of Amazon. I would hope so because it's made out of the same fabric from the same company. The pattern and fabric texture looks exactly the same as the image.

Searching for a business that makes decals
I have my father in law's 1949 cub. He purchased the tractor new in 49. While always undercover, 32 years with him, 33 years with me, it now needs a complete paint job. My wife tells me that I can not paint it unless I can also replace the original selling dealer's decal that sit on both sides of the hood. The reason why she wants them replaced is that they show the dealer's name and address. The dealer was located only a few miles from where my wife grew up. Thus, the sentimentality. I have taken pictures of the decals and my wife will photoshop them into clarity for a vendor to reproduce. Now, can someone give a name of a business that can make the decals?
Re: Searching for a business that makes decals
Any good local sign shop that makes custom vinyl decals should be able to handle that for you.
I had these made for my '51 M. My great uncle owned the IH dealership here in Princeton back in the day and my grandfather bought his Cub there new. A full sheet of them was about $50.00, most of which was artwork set up charge...

Re: Searching for a business that makes decals
I reproduce cub decals, can you post a picture of what you need?
Re: Searching for a business that makes decals
As soon as my wife gets them photo shopped so they become readable, I will attempt to post. Thank you both for the speedy replies.
Re: Searching for a business that makes decals
Clint on the forum here also does work like this. He is in NC and could probably fix you up.

Today's weather forecast: Dry Like Toast
L.A builds its first garbage incinerator and provides limited pickup service, but many people still burn trash in their backyards or bury it.
City officials sign their first contract with a private compnay to get rid of food waste.
The city takes responsibility for trash disposal in residential areas with two weekly collections. Private firms pick up business refuse.
With smog alerts a major concern, backyard burning is banned. All trash goes to landfill.
Residents of Los Angeles separate their food waste, yard clippings, metals, and other noncombustible items for pickup and disposal.
Mayor Sam Yorty halts the separation program, saying it forces "housewives to perform coolie labor."
One by one, landfills begin to fill up. Environmental concerns and development restrictions make it hard to establish new ones.
A pilot program for full recycling begins on the Westside. It serves some 15,000 households.
Recycling expands into the Valley, then into all city council districts two years later, ultimately reaching about 95,000
L.A. exceeds a state mandate to divert 25 percent of its waste from landfills.
Angelenos outgrow their 14-gallon yellow and green recycling bins; the city replaces them with blue ones holding 90 gallons.
Want a whiff? A group offers bus tours of L.A.'s Puente Hills Landfill, one of the nation's largest.
Los Angeles is named the top recycler among the ten largest U.S. cities, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Dallas
L.A. sets this target year to recycle 70 percent ofits trash.

For example, a titer of 1:8 (one to eight) means the blood can be diluted to one part blood and seven parts saline and still produce a positive reaction in the test. The higher the titer (1:16 is higher than 1:8), the more antibody is present.
An allergy to something that is inhaled such as pollen or house dust. Also called 'inhalant allergy'.
B – Beta-carotene through Bloat
A plant pigment which can be converted to Vitamin A by many animals, but not by cats.

Immune system
The body's defense system which recognizes infectious agents and other 'foreign' compounds (such as pollen), and works to destroy them.
A condition in which the animal's immune system has been primed and is able to protect the body from a disease-causing agent such as a certain virus or bacteria. An animal could have immunity to one agent, such as parvovirus, but not have immunity to another agent, such as rabies.
The process of rendering an animal protected (immune) against a certain disease. Vaccination is a way to produce immunization. However, just because an animal has been vaccinated (received a vaccine) does not necessarily mean the animal is immune. If the body did not correctly react to the vaccine or if the vaccine was defective, immunity would not occur. No vaccine produces immunity in 100% of the population to which it was given. 'Vaccination' is not the same as 'immunization'.
Reduced function of the immune system of an animal, making it more susceptible to infectious disease. Can be an inherited defect or caused by drugs, radiation or viruses.
A compound which stimulates the immune system to work more effectively to kill bacteria, viruses or cancer cells.
Something, for instance a drug, hormone, or virus, that reduces the function of the immune system of an animal.

The toe is swollen, red, hot, painful, and the animal is reluctant to walk on that toe.
A trait passed from one generation to the next in the genes from each parent.
A hormone produced by the pancreas which is necessary for glucose to be able to enter the cells of the body and be used for energy.
Into the muscle (IM).

Sterilization by surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus of a female animal.
T – Titer

The test to measure antibodies is usually performed by making a number of dilutions of the blood and then measuring at what dilution there is sufficient antibody to react in the test. For example, a titer of 1:8 (one to eight) means the blood can be diluted to one part blood and seven parts saline and still produce a positive reaction in the test. The higher the titer (1:16 is higher than 1:8), the more antibody is present.

Wenger Swiss Army Commander EVO
Product Description
The world took notice when Wenger introduced the Genuine Swiss Army Knife over a century ago. Its incredible versatility and innovative design were unlike anything anyone had seen before.
In 2005, Wenger broke new ground again with EVO-the Evolution Series- and the reaction is no less remarkable. EVO's distinctive concave and convex scales conform perfectly to the human hand, providing the best grip possible for cutting, loosening or tightening screws and tough bolts, or just uncorking a stubborn bottle of wine. And the ergonomic shape not only makes holding and using our knives easier, it creates a sleek, thoroughly modern and sculpted look that's attracting attention whenever EVO is used, from the rugged slopes of the Alps to the basement workshop. EVO joins our wide selection of original styles to deliver a higher level of performance and functionality when you need it most.
The Genuine Swiss Army Knife has evolved, with EVO, exclusively from Wenger.

Linebacker Dave Robinson, who played on the memorable Green Bay Packers teams of the 1960s, has been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Packers President Mark Murphy says Robinson was a vital part of the great defenses in the 1960s that helped Green Bay win NFL championships and Super Bowl titles under coach Vince Lombardi. Murphy says Robinson has also been a great ambassador for the Packers over the years.
Robinson was drafted by the Packers in the first round of the 1963 NFL Draft out of Penn State University. He played in 127 regular-season games during his 10 seasons in Green Bay. Robinson started on teams that won three consecutive NFL championships (1965-67) and two straight Super Bowls (I and II).

Taiwan High Speed Railway Zuoying Station(HDR Version)
The World > Asia > Taiwan > Kaohsiung
Xinzuoying Station (TRA) or Zuoying Station (THSR and KMRT), is a major railway station served by Taiwan Railway Administration, Taiwan High Speed Rail, and Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit located in Zuoying District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Passengers can transfer between TRA Western Line, KMRT Red Line, and THSR at this station,[4] and it is the only rail station in southern Taiwan where three rail systems converge. The station handles over 64,000 passengers daily on conventional rail, metro, and high-speed rail.[1][2][3]

The station is located at the eastern foot of Banpingshan (Chinese: 半屏山) in Kaohsiung.[5] In addition to rail routes, the station is also close to National Highway No. 1, 3, 10 and Provincial Highway No. 1 and 17.
On October 15, 2009, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi won a deal to lease a building at the station and turn it into a shopping complex under a 10-year operate-transfer (OT) contract for NT$505 million (US$15.6 million).[6] The new branch opened at the station on April 1, 2010. In June 2009, a folding bike rental station was set up at the MRT station to facilitate tourism in the city.[7] The station is also equipped with vehicle and motorcycle parking lots.[8]
The TRA and THSR parts are located in the above ground portion of the station, constructed together and opened for revenue service in January 2007 with the commencement of THSR service. As the current terminus of the line, the THSR part of the station has three island platforms serving 6 tracks. The TRA part of the station has 2 platforms serving 4 tracks, with one additional through track.
The KMRT portion of the station is a two-level station located underground,[9] at the northeastern part of the TRA/THSR station building.[5] The station has 2 exits[10] and opened for revenue service in March 2008. Dedicated exits between the KMRT station area to the TRA platforms allow direct transfer between TRA and KMRT trains. The KMRT part of the station has an island platform serving 2 tracks of the KMRT Red line.[9]

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

The Battle for the Christmas tree
The World > Europe > Estonia > Tallinn
Historical combat reenactment is a recreational activity re-creating (re-enacting) the aspects of warrior cultures from certain periods in history. The turbulent and often violent history of Estonia is perhaps best emphasized in the so-called "Eastern Viking Age" of 12th-13th century AD when the pagan tribes of modern day Estonia became active in raiding and pillaging their then-christian neighbours. The ancient warriors of Estonian matched the Scandinavian vikings from couple of centuries earlier in all but the name.
Combined with increasingly popular experimental archeology and "living history" groups, the re-enactment of their warlike ancestors is becoming increasingly popular past-time activity in modern Estonia.
AS Tallink Grupp is one of the largest passenger and cargo shipping companies in the Baltic Sea region.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

The flu season is already making it's way across the country.
We are still one month away from when flu season normally starts. So far, this month alone the CDC has reported 75 influenza cases.
"Usually what we start doing, is we start seeing a little bit of influenza B or influenza A frequently in November or December, and then after the kids come back from Christmas break we start seeing more flu on into January and that sort of collimates in a peak in late January or early February," Todd Bell, M.D. with Texas Tech School of Medicine says.
Already there has been influenza B activity here in the panhandle. But flu isn't the only virus making people sick.
"One of the interesting things is is that the same time during flu season, we see lots of non-influenza viruses as well. As a matter of fact, during the peak of the flu season, probably only about 30 percent of what drives people to the doctors office with a flu like illness is actually the flu. The rest of it are other types of viral infections," Bell says.
All which are easily passed to other people.
"Any time you touch a surface or touch another person, you can transfer bacteria or viruses from your own hands to the other person. And that's how easy it is to transmit things," Carolyn Bouma, Ph.D., Microbiology assistant professor at WTAMU says.
A task as simple as washing your hands could help prevent the spread of the flu.
"Hand washing is a good idea at any time. And making sure that people wash their hands before and after they eat, after they touch their face, after going to the bathroom, etc. Those things are going to be able to protect them against lost of different types of infectious diseases," Bell says.
But, Dr. Bell says protecting yourself with the flu shot is also one of the best preventative measures.
Today is also the CDC's fifth annual global hand washing day. Hand washing is the most inexpensive and effective way to prevent the spread of germs to keep people healthy.

text: Usually, working on video game cutscenes involves creating a visual story in an already established world: the animation process is very orderly, divided into classic stages, and predictable. This time around, it was markedly different. The first drafts of the screenplay and preliminary concept art was created when the game was still in initial stages of core development. In the course of our collaboration with CD Projekt RED, we approached dozens of ideas before settling on a seemingly freeze-framed setting that referenced one of the illustrations from the original game manual.

It also talks about the civil rebellion and all those involved in it. The book even features a ready reference section. This covers the lives of famous personalities who played an important role in India's fight for freedom. It also describes the yearly sessions of the Indian National Congress. It even educates readers with the names and details of the various viceroys and governors of India.

Unlike the case of Bipin Chandra's book , this book is not a propagandist of Nehruvian philosophy and yeah we do know Nehru didn't play as big a role as high chair he got to sit on.
On the book, it is an awesome book , nutshelled , concised and apt bookwithout leaving minutest of details.
2012 CSAT question about national social conference is there in one line, same with 2013 simon commission in one line and all others
I would certainly recommend it over Bipin as every aspirant's immediate need is to optimise time and efficiency.
the book is a great resource and is a perfect recipe for knowledge seekers and competitive exam students like upsc and other state exams where questions from history are asked...but it is also good for people who wish to know about the sequence of happenings and events that impacted our freedom struggle....going by the size of the book..i got a bit disappoint initially but when i read through the pages i realised that great things come in small package!!!!! the book is very systematically written...nothing superfluous is added and nothing important is left...the ready reference data at the... (Expand)
Spectrum book on modern india should be used as a reference to Bipin Chandra Pal book where ever one finds a topic or sub topic difficult to understan as topics in this are straight and have extra referencer from Internet (copy, paste). It should be better to make notes from Bipin Chandra book for Civils (this book should be read along while making notes from Bipin) however, one may copy a little few points from this but convert them in to ones own language
Finally a reference to others
Not up to the level of Civils.
Spectrum Brief History of modern India is written by RAJIV AHIR (IPS punjab police) and contributions by R Vidya and Sabina Madan also
the books covers possibly all the facts 1857 onwards , and much to my surprise some post independance issues are also presented with facts .
Yes the font size is small
Yes the paper quality is on lower side
Yes the price of book is Rs 155 (earlier it was 141)
Nodoubt it is complete factual book........................... but one needs to understand that CONCEPTS are only built upon FACTS known .
This is book is for every candidate who is in... (Expand)
Its very concise to the point and objective
The language is easy to understand
Properly Structured
The font is a bit small and paper quality is not that good
don't buy it from flipkart. it is easily available in market at the price of at max. 180
so I will recommend buyers to buy only from market.
also it is as same as Bipin chandra NCERT modern history of india. one can read any one of these. (View complete review)
lucid in explanation
one can easily get grasp over the subject by reading this
a definite buy when compared to others which are biased(bipin chandra)
the only down fall is the size of the font which is small (View complete review)
The book is very precise and informative. Paper quality would have been better. Quick one from Flipkart. (View complete review)
A very good book for quick reference. Will be very useful if used along with the book 'History of Modern India' by Bipin Chandra. (View complete review)
This book is well structured and not like other books where you will find a whole lot of data without its relevant data included.
All the related information are linked and represented very nicely.
Flipkart delivery is just AWESOME..... (View complete review)

Facebook data: spring breakup?
Strict Standards: Non-static method gdFunctionsGDSR::get_caller_backtrace() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in /home/cdkalb/breakupgirl.net/blog/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/code/class.php on line 1826
Well, it's November 3. Are you, or have you ever been ditched by, a Halloweenie? Cindy Chupack once coined the term in order to designate (if BG recalls directly) folks who break up with their partners by October 31 in order to avoid (a) awkward family Thanksgiving dinners, and/or (b) buying gifts. (All while giving yourself plenty of time to find someone to smooch at New Year's.) Boo!
But according to new (and highly imperfect, but still entertaining) data from Facebook (via Mashable), just because you made it through Halloween doesn't mean you're set for 2011. David McCandless and co.:
…scraped 10,000 status updates for the phrases "break up" and "broken up," and made the following discoveries: 1). A ton of people break up before social occasions like Spring Break and the summer, 2). Mondays aren't just the start of the work week — there're the end of many a relationship, 3). People have the decency not to dump their significant others on Christmas Day.
Yah, but look at the graphic. While you're safe on December 25, breakups appear to peak in the couple of weeks before, matching pre-spring break levels. If this is even somewhat accurate, I'm betting it's not just about saving money on loot. It's about the holidays feeling all cozy and meaningful and stuff. If you don't feel cozy and meaningful with your S.O., you're not going to look at them and feel all mistletoetastic. Forces the issue, in a way. You know? Fa la! What about you: any breakups precipitated by calendar events? (Or have you ever stayed together for the present, if you will?)

Photography is a sensory experience for me. An infatuation junkie, my heart flutters when I encounter subjects that attract me. I am captured by details, not vast ideas or big beauty. I fall in love again and again.

The American Academy of Dermatology's Shade Structure Grant Program awards grants to public schools and non-profit organizations for installing permanent shade structures for outdoor locations that are not protected from the sun, such as playgrounds, pools or recreation spaces. Each Shade Structure Grant is valued up to $8,000, which includes the cost for a shade structure and installation. In addition to the grant, the Academy also provides a permanent sign near the shade structure. The AAD receives support for this program from its members and outside organizations.
This awareness program can be re-purposed with materials available from other organizations (such as the American Cancer Society, EPA SunWise Program, CDC Sun Safety for America's Youth Toolkit, or Cancer Control PLANET) or can be original content developed specifically for your audience.
Program application and details
The 2014 Shade Structure Grant Program application is now closed. It will reopen on September 15, 2014 and remain open until November 25, 2014 for the 2015 grant cycle.
