Family Activity: Treasures in the Sand : Ideas for Women Home and ...

When the weather turns hot and the kids are out of school some days you are left unsure how to entertain them. One tried and true method around our house is Treasures in the Sand. It is a version of a game I played as a child.? It is very simple to play, you take a small child-sized pool, fill it up with sand and then put any sort of small treasures in it.

My kids love the archeologist version of it the best.? I bury pieces of pottery and other such toy items (sometimes dinosaurs) and then they hunt for them. They spend time cataloging each item,discussing it, and sorts of things. Since we live in Georgia and it gets pretty hot, they say it?s like being in Egypt.? Use your imagination and just go wild with it, although a word of caution; I put a screen and tarp over the sand to keep any creepy crawly things out and it allows us to use the sand all summer long.? When all of nieces and nephews are here we throw pennies in and they race to see who can find the most.

Football stadium to host world's largest solar eclipse party

The eclipse will occur in the afternoon and early evening on Sunday, during which time the moon will pass between Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on the planet.?

By Denise Chow,?Space.com / May 17, 2012

The moon passes between the sun and the earth during a partial solar eclipse in Moscow January 4, 2011.

A solar eclipse will blot out part of the sun this weekend, and astronomers in Colorado are organizing what they hope will be the world's largest viewing party in one place. Their venue: an entire football stadium.

The eclipse will occur in the afternoon and early evening on Sunday (May 20), during which time the moon will pass between Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on the planet. This weekend's event is called an?annular solar eclipse?(from the Latin word "annulus," meaning "little ring"), because the moon will not completely cover the sun, but will leave a fiery ring around its circumference.

At its peak, the moon will block roughly 94 percent of the sun's light. This potentially spectacular?solar eclipse?will be visible from much of Asia, the Pacific region and North America, provided the weather cooperates.

The University of Colorado, at Boulder, will be hosting a free eclipse-watching event at the campus' Folsom Stadium, beginning at 5:30 p.m. local time (6:30 p.m. EDT; 2230 GMT). Special protective glasses will be sold at the football stadium, but organizers suggest planning ahead in case supplies run out. [Solar Eclipse of May 20 (Photo Observing Guide)]

Attendees will be treated to hot dogs, and have the opportunity to participate in trivia contests and giveaways. But the main attraction will, of course, be the show in the sky, which promises to be the best solar eclipse the U.S. has seen in more than a decade, said?event organizer Doug Duncan, an astronomer at the University of Colorado, and director of the school's Fiske Planetarium.

"After leading eclipse expeditions since 1970 I got tired of people not being prepared to watch, so as leader of the country's top university planetarium I went into action," Duncan said in a statement.

The campus' Fiske Planetarium and Sommers Bausch Observatory will also celebrate "Astronomy Day" on May 20, featuring hands-on displays and telescope activities.

The event has already received a strong response, and Duncan is expecting between 10,000 and 20,000 people to attend the viewing party (the stadium seats roughly 40,000 spectators).

"As of right now, we have sold 39,000 pairs of eclipse glasses," Duncan told SPACE.com. "We?ve been selling them at the planetarium and a local hardware store, and they've sold out."

He reminds observers that it is extremely important to protect your eyes before viewing the eclipse. Skywatchers should never look directly at the sun, either with the naked eye or through?telescopes or binoculars?without the proper filters.

"The sun is very powerful, so you need to protect your eyes," Duncan said.

The eclipse will occur in the late afternoon or early evening of May 20 throughout North America, and May 21 for observers in Asia. This?solar eclipse skywatching guide?has more specific information about viewing locations and times.

To safely view the annular solar eclipse, you can purchase special solar filters or No. 14 welder's glass to wear over your eyes.?Warning:?Standard sunglasses will NOT provide sufficient protection. Astronomers use special filters and glasses to observe the sun safely.

Another safe and simple technique is to watch the eclipse indirectly with the solar projection method. This involves using your telescope, or one side of your binoculars, to project a magnified image of the sun?s disk onto a shaded white piece of cardboard.

Several U.S. national parks are also planning their own?observing events for the solar eclipse, and NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif. are sending a group of researchers to the Grand Canyon.

Editor's note: If you snap any amazing eclipse photos that you'd like to be considered for use in a story or gallery, please send them to SPACE.com managing editor Tariq Malik at?tmalik@space.com.

LG LS970 'superphone' shows up again, flaunts its removable battery and NFC chip

It's only been a few days since we first heard the rumors about an upcoming, Sprint-bound LG quad-core slab, and now that same LS970 "superphone" is back for more action. Thanks to yet another snap acquired by the folks over at BriefMobile, we can now spot a couple extra details on the device, including its previously unknown NFC capabilities. Contrary to earlier beliefs, the alleged LG Eclipse also seems to offer a removable battery, which is likely to make some power users very content. Something tells us this isn't the last we're going to see of this super handset, though, so we'll keep you in the loop if any more noteworthy findings appear.

Natural skin care products and cosmetics for health | Bodybuilding ...

Homemade skin care recipes and remedies are becoming increasingly popular as these products are relatively inexpensive.

Moreover, as they are made from natural ingredients, they have no side effects and are much more effective. Applying vegetables and fruits to your skin and hair is an ancient way of taking care of your beauty and enhancing it.

You never know exactly what is used in the beauty products that you purchase over the counter. However, when you prepare something from the natural resources for your beauty, you are sure of the ingredients that you use. These natural skin care ingredients are also very easily available.

Besides, the difference between natural skin care products and cosmetics which are artificially made is that the natural products tend to be gentle on the skin and do not harm the skin.

Some of the main ingredients used to make natural skin care products are honey, baking soda, toothpaste, olive oil, yoghurt, cucumber, parsley. Aloe vera and tea tree oil is also very good natural skin care oils. Each of these ingredients works in different ways; some work as moisturizers, some as facial masks and other as antiseptics. Some of the natural skin care products are as follows:

Baking soda when added to your shampoo is used to get rid of any styling products in your hair.

In order to make your color last longer and condition your hair, you should add some white vinegar to the water that you use to rinse the color from your hair.

Beat 2 raw eggs and apply the mixture to damp hair it acts as a conditioner. Leave it on for 5 ? 10 minutes and then rinse well.

You could make an aloe vera moisturizer at home by mixing equal proportions of raw aloe vera gel and mineral or distilled water. Heat this mixture in a double broiler or nonstick pan until it forms a creamy mixture. This mixture works wonders for dry, sore and sunburned skin. You can also apply it on your elbows, knees or any area on your body where the skin is rough.

Olive oil could also be used in many ways. You can add half a cup of olive oil and some drops of lavender oil to your bath water and enjoy a relaxing moisturizing soak. It also helps moisturize dry skin on areas such as the knees and elbows.

If you have dry rough hands then take a little olive oil and sugar and rub your hands till the sugar dissolves and then wash your hand with some warm water.

You can get rid of chapped lips with a dab of olive oil on your lips.
