This film is currently in production, with an expected release date of Sept 2011. "Happy & Gay" takes up the issue of revisionist history, which includes issues of representation, censorship and redaction. The focus topic is the early 1930s in America, and the Hays Code of Hollywood, which established an erasure and re-representation of Gays and Lesbians. This document is a re-placement Hollywood animation cartoon that topically puts Gays and Lesbians into a positive profile and "historic" filmic document that should have existed concurrently, but could not because of the time period it references. I am, ironically, generating the film in 2D-digital (Flash, Photoshop, After Effects, Final Cut), but the final output as the "artifact" will be 35mm film.

National Geographic Expeditions Atlasby National Geographic Society
An extraordinary volume, the remarkable National Geographic Expeditions Atlas recounts the storied travails and world-famous achievements of the women and men responsible for establishing and epitomizing the National Geographic Society's century-long commitment to exploring our world. The Atlas is organized into seven topical sections, each covering historical and modern expeditions in an area in which National Geographic has long been involved: polar exploration, mountaineering, flight and space, oceanography, archaeology, anthropology, and adventure travel. Each section features superb writing from a group of National Geographic staffers past and present, and offers priceless perspectives and little-known war stories about the Society's key expeditions.
Enabling readers to relive the exploits of such legendary personalities as Richard Byrd, Hiram Bingham, Jacques Cousteau, and Edmund Hillary, the authors also place each expedition within a larger context of the Society's enduring mission to spread and increase humanity's geographic knowledge. With an array of fascinating historic and newly commissioned maps and hundreds of photographs that bring the adventures to thrilling life, the Expeditions Atlas reveals the passion behind America's grandest geographical institution.

Topic: Pests, Trees
Title: Leaf Galls on Live Oak
Answered by: Becky Ruppel
QUESTION:Hi - I have a live oak tree that always seems to have thinner foliage than our other two. Upon closer examination today I found small brown balls all over the mature leaves. The balls look and feel very much like peppercorns. What is this, and is this a danger to the tree? I did read the other post about Woody oak twig galls but based on that post I don't think that is what is going on here. Thank you for your time.
The tree in question sounds like it has leaf galls formed by the Mealy Oak Gall Wasp Disholcaspis cinerosa. This wasp forms both stem and leaf galls depending on the stage in its life-cycle. Galls are formed when an insect (in this case a type of tiny wasp) lays an egg just under the surface of a stem or leaf. A gall is formed because the tree is stimulated by the presence of the egg, and eventually the hatched larvae, to grow a structure around the wounded area. Galls are very common in oaks and are not considered harmeful to the health of trees.
For more detalied information about Mealy Oak Gall Wasp see the Mr. Smarty Plants post by Nan Hampton that talks about the specifics of the wasp, its reproduction, life-cycle, and affect on trees.
The links in that post appear to no longer work. Below are updated links for the information cited in that answer about Mealy Oak Gall Wasps.

There's so many shitty shovelware games matt that comes out lol.
Also TA doesn't have the links up for it like it usually does :p.
I raged to get this first lol. Some of the platforming parts were very annoying.
Also amazes me that have of these pos shovelware games sell by how poorly there advertised, if it wasn't for an easy completion majority of these wouldn't sell worth shit
Wow you raged to get first in a game you want a hug :/..
I had to go into See all of new releases for it to even show up.
I'm surprised they expect to sell their games at some of the price points they choose for their games. Only people like me would buy it. Casual gamers would skip them all
This one was only $9.99 though, so not bad. I was 3rd to complete Drawful 2 a couple days ago too. I'm on a roll!
Grats on first!
Good shyt!
Well done, its very hard to get a these 1st days with all those reviewfags
i just woke up...
^^ That's why I really wish that "1st" was reserved only for people who began earning achievements on or after official release.
I don't care if they get them to review, but allowing them to be "1st" is rather unfair.
...and that isn't intended as a slight to anyone. Just feel like that playing field should be level. Especially since it IS a feather to wear proudly.
that's one expensive phone game there eh lol.
tell me about it. Not worth $14.

True but there has been games that were $5 to $7
Even on 360 there has :D
it was a joke you mfing idiot speedy meth head my gawd lol.
I usually like traffic controller games...but I'll wait for a price drop on this one. $14? Seriously?
But only 34% completion %?
idc about completion obviously
...there are
3 other comments
Who cares about completion % :)
Giving up completion was a stress relief for me and its great not missing out on awesome games or worrying about glitched or unobtainables
I have purposely destroyed my completion so I can't go back and I don't have any regrets. If anything I enjoy gaming more.
Mighty No. 9 (Xbox 360) don't forget to grab this one lol.

Speedy stop being such a fing creeper fan boy my gawd if you give out so many BJ's your wrists will be tired and sore lol..
I didn't know blowjobs involved wrists :^)
Wrists wear out quick during blowjobs that include a multitasked ass-fisting
Mighty No. 9 -> ass-fisting? No wonder critics were harsh.
It's a pity you'll never experience this game the way it was meant to be played, 8 player local with tons of laughs. Congrats on the completion anyways!
I don't have any friends, so this is as good as it gets.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Switzerland has blocked nearly one billion Swiss francs ($1.07 billion) in stolen assets linked to dictators in four countries at the centre of the Arab spring - Egypt, Libya, Syria and Tunisia - the Swiss foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
Swiss authorities are cooperating with judicial authorities in Tunisia and Egypt to speed restoration of the funds, but it is expected to take years, said Valentin Zellweger, head of the international law department at the Swiss foreign ministry.
"Today a total of one billion francs is blocked in the framework of Arab spring," he told a news briefing in Geneva, giving the latest figures for funds frozen since early 2011.
The bulk of the assets, nearly 700 million francs, are tied to former President Hosni Mubarak and his entourage, he said.
Swiss foreign minister Didier Burkhalter held talks in Cairo on Sunday with his Egyptian counterpart Mohamed Kamal Amr on judicial cooperation to restore the embezzled funds, he said.
Some 60 million francs linked to ousted Tunisian president Ben Ali has also been seized, Zellweger said. In line with U.N. Security Council sanctions, 100 million francs linked to the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and 100 million francs linked to Syrian President Bashir al-Assad and associates are blocked.
Switzerland has worked hard in recent years to improve its image as a haven for ill-gotten gains, seizing the assets of deposed dictators and agreeing in 2009 to soften strict bank secrecy to help other countries catch tax cheats.
"In the past, the affair that was resolved most quickly was Abacha and it took 5 years," Zellweger said, referring to assets linked to the late Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha.
The ship, named Gamal Abdel Nasser, left the shipyard of Saint-Nazaire on France's Atlantic coast on June 12.
U.N. mediator Staffan de Mistura hopes peace talks can resume in July, but has warned they cannot proceed "while hostilities are escalating and civilians are starving".
Both men were simultaneously visiting the European Union's main governmental headquarters to talk with EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini.

Shelves: multicultural-text-set
This story is about one coal-mining community divided by their origins. One side of the town is made up of all the immigrants from Poland; this is Stefan's side of the town. The other side is made up of people from Ireland; this is Keara's family and neighbors. Since the town is so strictly divided Keara and Stefan begin to be rude to each other, over the years they realize they have much in common, living in a dreary coal-mining town. As they grow in deeper love for each other they show the tow ...more
