Shade Structures
The area that couldn't be used because of heat has been transformed into a very attractive space with the help of shade shails. Shade Shails provide flexible and durable shade with minimal fuss and portable options work well for smaller spaces. Choose the shade structure that works best. They can create temperatures 10 degrees or more lower than the outdoor air temperature. The outdoor playground equipments like Shade Structures are highly protective and heat resistant. They are light in weight and are well known for their unique features like durable finish standards, resistant against harsh weather conditions and attractive appearance.
Shade structures are structures which are designed to create shade. They provide the great combination of optimum sun protection and durability to assure long-term performance. Shade structures can be tents, canopies, gazebos, arbors, umbrellas, covered picnic shelters, or a combination of any of these with vines, creepers, trees and shrubs.
Tensile membrane is a light weight structure. One of the greatest benefits of tensile structures is that they are translucent. When designing tensile membrane structures it is important to have a 3 dimensional shape with highs and lows. The application of Tensile Membrane Structures was the most extensive in each kind of membrane structure systems. Tensile structure has two main types: one that transfers tensile loads into adjoining structures and other that contain the tensile loads within their boundary.
A special form of lightweight surface structures are tensile fabric structure (FTS) formed by continuous spatially curved surfaces elements. The good thing about fabric architecture is that very few components are required to create a structure and the ingenuity and scale of fabric structures is as boundless as the extensive freedom fabric membrane structures offer for imaginative designs.
Tension Membrane Structures are used throughout the world for a variety of purposes. There are two types of shapes found in tension membrane structures. One is the ‘anticlastic structures' and another is a synclastic structures. One obvious and major use is the rapid deployment of buildings and shelters for military applications. These are also used for a variety of warehousing, environmental, construction and other applications where protection is needed and where the structure may be readily disassembled and moved.

Need advice on taking Prom portraits.....?
I am supposed to be taking portraits at a prom for my former school. I have been taking portraits for about 5 years but usually all are in natural light. I have a Sony DSLR A200 with 2 vu pro 33" translucent umbrella with 5500 k bulbs. Lighting is not my forte (however you spell it). Like I said before I usually take natural light portraits I have just began learning lighting. I would really like all the advice I can get....Thank You.
Prom "portraits" are normally couple shots done full length and/or individuals as well as table shots. Generally one umbrella light is used. For the tables a mock table is set up and the same single light is used. The table number should be visible on the table for match up later. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Beat the Heat this Summer – 10 Sun Smart Ways to Stay Protected
As the summer season starts, it time once again to brush up your sun-safety practices and get set to beat the heat. With the continuing increase in the number of skin cancer cases, it has become extremely important to protect your skin against the negative effects of the sun.
Still, not many can resist the temptation of flocking to the beach or outdoor activities. This is why you need to know smart sun care ways. Bask all that you want, but make sure your skin stays protected against the harmful UV rays. Here are some tips:
1. Triple Sun Protection
If you plan to spend a lot of time out in the sun, like at the beach or tennis courts, make sure you lather on a triple layer of sun protection....
Cleanse your skin and apply an antioxidant based product to protect against free radical damage.
Apply a chemical sunscreen that prevents the sun rays from causing intrinsic damage. Consider using a double duty product like La Roche Posay Anthelios SX, a moisturizer plus sunscreen.
Top it off with a water and sweat resistant sun block, preferably one containing zinc oxide that will reflect most rays away from the skin's surface.
2. Use Broad Spectrum Formulas
Use a sunscreen formula that shields against the UVB as well as the UVA rays of the sun. Some of the ingredients to consider are:
UVA Blockers - Mexoryl, Helioplex 360, active photobarrier complex, Avobenzone
UVB Blockers - Homosalate, Octosalate, Octylmethoxycinnamate
UVA & UVB - Octocrylene, Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide.
3. Re-apply Every Couple of Hours
In order to ensure all-round sunscreen protection, you need to re-apply your sunscreen every couple of hours, especially if you are spending a lot of time outdoors. In fact, a general guideline is using a shot glass full of sunscreen over your whole body.
4. Use Half Teaspoon Sunscreen on your Face
If you do not apply enough sunscreen, it is not going to provide adequate protection. Ideally, use half teaspoon of sunscreen on your face.
5. Consider Powder Formulas for Oily Skin
If sunscreens feel rather oily on your skin try using powder formulations like iS Clinical SPF 20 Powder Sunscreen, a powder sunscreen available in translucent base and sun medium. It is a special nanotechnology formulation containing 25% titanium dioxide and 20% zinc oxide and provides sun protection against a vast spectrum of sunlight.
6. Wear Protective Clothing
While venturing out, try to wear longsleeves. Also, carry a hat or an umbrella to shield you from the damaging rays of the sun.
7. Eat a Fresh & Balanced Diet
Summer brings with it a variety of fruits and vegetables. So lay your hands on some fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables like pomegranate and blueberries. This will not just keep your skin hydrated but also supply essential vitamins and antioxidants.
8. Avoid Sun Susceptible Ingredients
If your skin is highly susceptible to sunburn, avoid using skin care products that contain glycolic or salicylic acid when you go out in the sun. These ingredients increase skin sensitivity to the sun and may cause a stinging sensation when you sweat.
9. Keep yourself Hydrated
Drink a lot of water, andbe careful if you drink alcohol or citrus beverages outside. Citrus fruits tend to make your skin more sun sensitive, while alcohol can dehydrate the skin. So, water is best..
10. Avoid Peak Hours
The sun's rays are the strongest during 12 am to 4 pm. So make sure you try to avoid this time of day in the direct sun.! Try to schedule your outdoor activities in the early morning or evening.
