9 Easy Things To Be Happy
9 Things You Can Do to Be Happy in the Next 30 Minutes
Surprising ways to instantly improve your mood. Being happier doesn't have to be a long-term ambition. You can start right now. In the next 30 minutes, tackle as many of the following suggestions as possible. Not only will these tasks themselves increase your happiness, but the mere fact that you've achieved some concrete goals will boost your mood.
1. Raise your activity level to pump up your energy. If you're on the phone, stand up and pace. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Put more energy into your voice. Take a brisk 10-minute walk. Even better.
2. Take a walk outside. Research suggests that light stimulates brain chemicals that improve mood. For an extra boost, get your sunlight first thing in the morning.
3. Reach out. Send an e-mail to a friend you haven't seen in a while, or reach out to someone new. Having close bonds with other people is one of the most important keys to happiness. When you act in a friendly way, not only will others feel more friendly toward you, but you'll also strengthen your feelings of friendliness for other people.
4. Rid yourself of a nagging task. Deal with that insurance problem, purchase something you need, or make that long-postponed appointment with the dentist. Crossing an irksome chore off your to-do list will give you a rush of elation.
5. Create a more serene environment. Outer order contributes to inner peace, so spend some time organizing bills and tackling the piles in the kitchen. A large stack of little tasks can feel overwhelming, but often just a few minutes of work can make a sizable dent. Set the timer for 10 minutes and see what you can do.

Banned Comic - Daddy’s Roommate
Daddy's Roommate is a children's book written by Michael Willhoite and published by Alyson Books in 1991. The book, about a young boy whose divorced father now lives with his gay partner, deals with the controversial subject of homosexual parents.
Daddy's Roommate was one of the first children's books to portray homosexuality in a positive light; the two men in the book do the same things heterosexual couples do: Take care of the house, argue, and spend time with their boy. Consequently, the book has become one of the most challenged books in recent years with the American Library Association listing it at number 2 in their list of the 100 most challenged books from 1990-1999.
Daddy's Roommate became a point of discussion in the 2008 US Presidential Election when it was alleged that, in 1995, Sarah Palin, then a councilwoman in Wasilla, Alaska, complained that the book did not belong in the public library.
My advice, keep an eye of what your children are reading.

Spectacular Volcano Lightning Phenomena
It's common to see intense lightning during the eruption of a volcano. Scientists have long puzzled over why sand grains and other small particles can build up electrical charges as they collide with one another, sometimes to the point of discharging lightning in dust storms or plumes of volcanic ash.
The scientists now believe that volcanoes can produce two kinds of lightning during an eruption. The first type, which has been understood for some time, occurs in the volcano's smoke plume a few minutes after the eruption ends. In this case, highly energized hot air and gases clash with the cool atmosphere, creating the sort of organized, branched lightning found in a thunderstorm.
The second kind of lightning, which the authors called a newly identified explosive phase, came as a surprise, as magma, ash and rocks spewed carrying great electrical charge, they created continuous, chaotic sparks near the mouth of the volcano.
Not all volcanic eruptions produce lightning, but the new equipment might be used to track the ones that do particularly those in remote regions. Often used to detect forest fires, the equipment picks up radiowaves caused by lightning. Researchers can then work backward to pinpoint the time and place of the lightning.
These photos are from volcanoes from all over the world.

Creative Wedding Photography
Like the technology of photography itself, the practice of wedding photography has evolved and grown since the invention of the photographic art form in 1826. In fact, an early photograph, recorded some 14 years after the fact, may be a recreation for the camera of the 1840 wedding of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert.
However, in the early days of photography, most couples of more humble means did not hire a photographer to record the actual wedding itself. Until the later half of the 19th century, most people didn't pose for formal wedding photos during the wedding. Rather, they might pose for a formal photo in their best clothes before or after a wedding. In the late 1860s, more couples started posing in their wedding clothes or sometimes hired a photographer to come to the wedding venue.
Here is a good mix of different types of wedding images to get those creative juices flowing. You might find an idea for your wedding photo in these example.

Baldwin Street - Steepest Street In The World
Baldwin Street in a suburban part of New Zealand's southern city of Dunedin, is considered the world's steepest residential street. It is located in the suburb of North East Valley, 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) northeast of Dunedin's city center.
A short straight street a little under 350 metres (1,150 ft) long, Baldwin Street runs east from the valley of the Lindsay Creek up the side of Signal Hill towards Opoho, rising from 30 m (98 ft) above sea level at its junction with North Road to 100 m (330 ft) above sea level at the top, an average slope of slightly more than 1:5.
Its lower reaches are only moderately steep, and the surface is asphalt, but the upper reaches of this cul-de-sac are far steeper, and surfaced in concrete (200 m (660 ft) long), for ease of maintenance (bitumen, in either chip seal or asphalt, would flow down the slope on a warm day) and for safety in Dunedin's frosty winters. At its maximum, the slope of Baldwin Street is about 1:2.86 (19° or 35%). That is, for every 2.86 metres travelled horizontally, the elevation changes by 1 meter.
Repost: Eddie Graces Egghead's Shoulder
For Halloween, I felt like re-posting a piece that appeared here back in November 2009. To date, this tattoo is in my Top 10 that has appeared on Tattoosday. Enjoy! And have a safe, happy Halloween!
I recently met a gentleman from England, along with his wife, as they were milling about outside of Madison Square Garden.
He referred to himself as "Egghead," I'm guessing due to his bald head. I first noticed the logo for the band Slayer on the back of his calf, along with several other interesting looking tattoos. He estimated he has about a dozen tattoos.
But, like the best Tattoosday stories, he shared this amazing tattoo on his right shoulder, hidden under a sweatshirt, which he pulled off so I could see it properly:
That's a phenomenal piece, courtesy of his artist Ben Boston at The Tattoo Studio in Bristol, England.
The tattoo is a likeness of Eddie, mascot for the band Iron Maiden, one of the premiere metal bands that came out of England in the late 1970's/early 1980's. I won't bore the reader with the catalog of my Iron Maiden fandom, but it certainly made the tattoo even that more wonderful for me.
I even had a nice chat with Egghead and his wife about concerts we had attended.
I thank Egghead for sharing this awesome tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Surfers are an exciting and interesting subject for the outdoor photographer who is lucky enough to live near the coast. While life can be made a little easier if you have a telephoto lens, it's not always necessary. We think these shots are a great collection of surfers doing what hey do best.

Mary's Call of the Wild
I met Mary outside of Penn Station on Seventh Avenue a couple weeks ago. She shared this tattoo on her right calf:
Mary explained:
Thanks to Mary for sharing her cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
Mary explained:
"I got my wolf tattoo at some place on St. Mark's Place, I don't remember, I was drunk, after I read [The] Call of the Wild. I had broken my foot and they let me leave work early, so I went to a bar with my best friend and started drinking. And then, I was like, 'We should get tattoos' and she was like 'I'm gonna go home' and then ... she was like 'I'm not gettin' tattooed'. So we went to some shady tattoo shop where they let me run around without shoes on and drink beer like a crazy girl. And all I remember is him asking me if I like lavender and I said, 'yeah, I like lavender' and that was that."Not your ideal tattoo story but, all things considered, this came out well.
Thanks to Mary for sharing her cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Passport Photo Vs Normal Photo
Sometimes I always wonder why my image on passport are quite different from what I see myself in the mirror. It turn out that I am not the only one. The differences between the real you and your passport photo definitely exist and they have existed forever. For some the will be small differences but others are quite big.
Okay. Some of the photo have time different. But, I think you got the message. Take a look at below comparison.
Amazing Pencils Carving
Many artists have used pencils to create works of art, but Dalton Ghetti creates miniature masterpieces on the tips of pencils. Dalton, who works as a carpenter, has been making his tiny graphite works for about 25 years.
Dalton uses three basic tools to make his incredible creations, a razor blade, sewing needle and sculpting knife. He even refuses to use a magnifying glass and has never sold any of his work, only given it away to friends. The longest Dalton has spent on one piece was two and half years on a pencil with interlinking chains. A standard figure will take several months.
When Dalton, from Connecticut, USA, first started he would become frustrated when a piece would break before being finished after he had spent months working on it. Dalton, who is originally from Brazil, has a box full of more than 100 sculptures that have broken while working on them that he affectionately calls 'the cemetery collection'.
Celebrity Twin Sister Or Brother
With their big doe eyes and dark brown hair, Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry could be sisters, if not identical twins. Most celebrities make it in Hollywood for their unique looks, undeniable talent and one-of-a kind style. They are often imitated and never duplicated.
But there's a theory that everybody has 6 others people who look same as you in this world. And that same theory rings true for some of Hollywood's most notable stars. These celebrities look so much alike, they could be twins.

Mysterious Tree
At a glance you may be confused the above tree with a massive trunk with a Baobab tree, which is renowned to possess the largest tree trunks of the world, but, this is yet another unknown specie which is seen in the close proximity of a hermitage deep in the dense forest in Andra Pradesh in India. And most importantly it is natural not artificial.
Now have a close look at the bark and experience the unbelievable figures of creatures engraved in the surface of the entire tree trunk. Absolutely real. Not man made.
Bangladesh Train Surfing
This is a common scene in Bangladesh every day transportation, a Train Surfing. Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in the world, trains are the most used traveling vehicle there but because of the poverty many of the people can't afford a train ticket so, they need to travel on the train roofs risking their lives.
Think of this next time when you are jammed in traffic in comfort of your own car before swearing everybody around.
