<blockquote><br />
This is our 100th <strong>10 Free Downloads</strong> newsletter which means we’ve highlighted 1,000 great free downloads to help make your teaching life easier every week. To celebrate, I came up with a contest with $1,000 in prizes plus a $1,000 bonus for your favorite plus another $1,000 for our favorite. I guess that makes it $3,000 total!<br />
The contest is to redesign our ‘It’s About Time’ banner, the one you see where we used to show ads. Here it is: <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="5" src="https://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs075/1102126629145/img/1863.png" width="280" /></a><br />
Your job is to make it even better. You can keep the same copy or create your own while maintaining the same or similar idea. The only acceptable size is 300×250 and you can post up to 3. Voting will end next Saturday, April 28th at Midnight PST. Submissions and voting happen on our <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/">Facebook Fan Page</a> starting today.

Collen returned after dealing with an injury sustained during Soweto Marathon in November 2010, fitter, faster and more determined than ever to take gold! His friend and former teammate Stephen Muzhingi, who he paced during 2009 enabling Stephen to take the Comrades Gold, and Collen battled it out to the bitter end, when finally only about 30 seconds separated 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions...<br />

Collen's return from injury for Two Oceans Marathon, Cape Town, 7 April 2012, did not disappoint. The fast and furious finish in adverse weather conditions saw friend Stephen Muzhingi take the lead after a headstrong battle, with fellow countryman Henry Moyo overtaking Collen in the stadium to take 2nd position by 10 seconds. Collen finished an exceptionally strong 3rd position. Congratulations! You made your country, friends and colleagues proud!<br />

</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The ‘who's who’ in ultra running will be lining up in a few short hours, to compete in The Two Oceans Marathon, in what has become somewhat of an annual ‘curtain raiser’ to the Comrades Marathon. This is the race where many will test their readiness to compete in the Ultimate Human Race on 02 June 2012. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />
Husqvarna South Africa has put their weight behind some of the top contenders this year in a partnership with Craig Fry, international athlete manager, and is powering contenders such as John Birgen, Collen Makaza and Munyaradzi Jari. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">John Birgen</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">, Kenya, is the second fastest marathon runner on paper in the field. Birgen has run 2H09 on three occasions, and has won races across Europe and is an experienced racer. He has spent the past seven months in South Africa, training specifically for the 56km run around the mountain. He has the potential to smash records if the conditions are right. <br />
<br />
<b>Collen Makaza</b> of Zimbabwe is the 2010 IAU 50km World Champion. Collen has a best finish at Two Oceans of 11th in 2010, but went on to capture the World Title a few months later. He has a PB marathon of 2H14, and holds the record for the fastest time to Half Way at Comrades Marathon, which he achieved in 2009. Due to an injury he sustained at the 2011 Two Oceans race, Collen had a seven-month resting period, but is back to his best form and is expected to perform well.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Munyaradzi Jari, </span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">affectionately known as Munya or Munya95, is a definite force to be reckoned with at the half marathon come Saturday morning. A seasoned campaigner at only 22 years old, he not only has breath-taking stamina from running Ultra races and is coming off running Hong Kong marathon earlier this year, he has the lightning speed to go with it. His last two races at 21km - the Pietermaritzburg half, 1st (67:18) and Paulpietersburg 4th (63:49) – have ensured that he is peaking at the right time and one can expect him to run sub 63 this Saturday.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

This is a clear sign that many people love Halloween - the festival that is being celebrated at the end of the month.<br /><br />It's during the Halloween festivities that you can be anything or anyone you want to be; go out to celebrate the occasion; have fun with friends and family or stay at home and welcome those who'll be visiting you for tricks or treats.<br /><br />In the past many people spent more than a small fortune on their Halloween costumes and decor, but in today's economic climate it makes sense to economize, spend wisely, make your costumes where possible, and perhaps finish it off with environmentally-friendly make-up or face paint, hats and masks. If this is the first time you're including masks with the costumes for your family members, it would probably be best if you keep these simple and convenient to wear.<br /><br />It's also a good idea to have the children in on the choosing or making of masks. Some masks, such as the latex types, that look very real can indeed be also very scary. As much as you'll be wanting to scare your neighbors and friends, you don't want shrieking children who become terrified after seeing the masks. I'd opt for taking the kids to the store if buying masks, so they can choose the kinds that they are comfortable with.<br /><br />In choosing Halloween masks, you'll have in mind what or who your (or your family member's) main aim or character is. This will make it easier for you to decide what kind of masks will best fit your mood come October 31. What also needs to be considered is the family budget, the age-appropriate costumes for your children, and the ease with which you'll be able to assemble perhaps ore than a few costumes on the day - and then still apply all the finishing touches.<br /><br />Wearing masks eliminates the need for wearing face-paint of make-up, unless of course you plan on removing your mask after a short while.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">For more; ► </span><a style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" href="http://www.squidoo.com/quick-peek-into-halloween-masks">http://www.squidoo.com/quick-peek-into-halloween-masks</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03435700118203126107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429701209654323207.post-55291235356730648422011-10-04T07:24:00.000-07:002011-10-04T07:24:42.137-07:00Going Green for Halloween - Recycled Craft, Decor and Costume Ideas<a href="http://www.squidoo.com/going-green-for-halloween">Going Green for Halloween - Recycled Craft, Decor and Costume Ideas</a><br /><br />The Halloween celebration is not spared. As such, you could "go green" or "go healthy" this Halloween. That would be fun, healthy, beneficial, practical, and logical.

So if you're headed to a film screening or theater showing of the odd musical, refresh your memory on those "Time Warp" dance steps and let loose. If you're planning a Halloween party or event, this is the perfect opportunity to create your own masterpiece based on your favorite Rocky Horror character.<br /><br />The screechy voiced Columbia is just one of the many strange inhabitants of Frank-N-Furter's mansion. This lens will look at ways to recreate Columbia's look, without breaking the bank and if you're feeling creative. Make up tips from experts are also featured, as is the official Rocky horror Make-up kit which is available for order, but in seriously high demand!<br /><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal">Related Pages and great ideas for Halloween Crafts, educational activities, costumes, decorating ideas and recipes visit:</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/vintage-halloween-clipart" target="_blank" title="Free vintage halloween clipart">http://www.squidoo.com/vintage-halloween-clipart</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/rocky-horror-frank-n-furter-costume" target="_blank" title="roicky horror frank-n-furter costume">http://www.squidoo.com/rocky-horror-frank-n-furter-costume</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/spooky-halloween-cutouts" target="_blank">http://www.squidoo.com/spooky-halloween-cutouts</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/ghoulish-halloween-party-treats" target="_blank" title="halloween recipes for kids">http://www.squidoo.com/ghoulish-halloween-party-treats</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/ye-olde-halloween" target="_blank" title="Halloween decorating ideas, wicked witch cake recipe and lifesize witch template">http://www.squidoo.com/ye-olde-halloween</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/rocky-horror-halloween" target="_blank" title="rocky horror halloween costumes">http://www.squidoo.com/rocky-horror-halloween</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/rocky-horror-columbia-costume" target="_blank" title="rocky horror columbia costume, make your own rocky horror halloween costume">http://www.squidoo.com/rocky-horror-columbia-costume</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/bleeding-heart-recipe" target="_blank" title="really grossly delicious bleeding heart recipe for halloween">http://www.squidoo.com/bleeding-heart-recipe</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/spooky-halloween-cupcake-recipes" target="_blank" title="Halloween cupcake recipes">http://www.squidoo.com/spooky-halloween-cupcake-recipes</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/frightfully-funny-halloween-jokes" target="_blank" title="frightfully funny halloween jokes">http://www.squidoo.com/frightfully-funny-halloween-jokes</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/nottingham-road-hotel" target="_blank" title="the ghosts of nottingham road hotel, true ghost stories">http://www.squidoo.com/nottingham-road-hotel</a></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03435700118203126107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429701209654323207.post-19863478758418539652011-09-17T12:25:00.000-07:002011-09-17T12:25:56.722-07:00Ye Olde Halloween Celebrations, It's Be-Witching Time<a href="http://www.squidoo.com/ye-olde-halloween">Ye Olde Halloween Celebrations, It's Be-Witching Time</a><br /><br /><h3 class="module_title">The holiday-time of elves, witches, and ghosts is Hallowe'en. It is not believed in here except by some children, who people the dark with bogies who will carry them away if they are naughty.</h3><br /><br />Join me on a journey back to the 19th Century, where Halloween was very much a part of life - and belief. On this page we will focus on American beliefs, traditions and celebrations, more particularly relating to witches and the decor for such Halloween festivities.<br /><br />Let us commence our journey.<br /><br />In Colonial days Halloween (ye olde Halloween was actually spelled Hallowe'en) was not celebrated much in America. Some English still kept the customs of the old world, such as apple-ducking and snapping, and girls tried the apple-paring charm to reveal their lovers' initials, and the comb-and-mirror test to see their faces. Ballads were sung and ghost-stories told, for the dead were thought to return on Halloween.<br /><br />Elves, goblins, and fairies were native on American soil. The Indians believed in evil manitous, some of whom were water-gods who exacted tribute from all who passed over their lakes. Henry Hudson and his fellow-explorers haunted as mountain-trolls the Catskill range. Like Ossian and so many other visitors to the Otherworld, Rip Van Winkle was lured into the strange gathering, thinks that he passes the night there, wakes, and goes home to find that twenty years have whitened his hair, rusted his gun, and snatched from life many of his boon-companions.<br /><br /><h3 class="module_subtitle">While the original customs of Hallowe'en are being forgotten more and more across the ocean, Americans have fostered them, and are making this an occasion something like what it must have been in its best days. </h3> <img id="moduleImage153360707" src="http://i3.squidoocdn.com/resize/squidoo_images/250/draft_lens18532925module153360707photo_1316272696Donnette_PD_Vintage_Hallo" class="write_image" /><br /><br />All Halloween customs in the USA were borrowed directly or adapted from those of other countries. All superstitions, everyday ones, and those pertaining to Christmas and New Year's, have special value on Halloween. Of course now the extent and variation of celebrations extend far beyond what one would have imagined,<br /><br />Halloween is a night of ghostly and merry revelry. Mischievous spirits choose it for carrying off gates and other objects, and hiding them or putting them out of reach.<br /><br />"Dear me, Polly, I wonder what them boys will be up to to-night. I do hope they'll not put the gate up on the shed as they did last year." Wright: Tom's Halloween Joke.<br /><br />Bags filled with flour sprinkle the passers-by. Door-bells are rung and mysterious raps sound on doors, things thrown into halls, and knobs stolen. Such innocent antics mean no more at Halloween than the tricks played the night before the Fourth of July have to do with the Declaration of Independence.<br /><br />Parties were prepared for in secret. Guests were not to divulge the fact that they were invited. Often they came masked, as ghosts or witches.<br /><br />Read More: <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/ye-olde-halloween">http://www.squidoo.com/ye-olde-halloween </a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03435700118203126107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429701209654323207.post-34810303703435228902011-07-27T07:29:00.000-07:002011-07-27T07:29:23.318-07:00My Public Domain Vintage Halloween Clipart, Free to Download<a href="http://www.squidoo.com/vintage-halloween-clipart">My Public Domain Vintage Halloween Clipart, Free to Download</a><br /><br />Halloween postcards have been around for at least a century, mostly featuring black cats, jack-o-lanterns, witches or ghouls.
