Thank you Katerina
Katerina wrote:Hi, thank you for your help but unfortunately it did not work. I built the tour from scratch and use only 10 panos, linking together with 27 hotspots. I'm not using any other feature and it still does not rotate completely. The link to the new tour is http://www.360panopro.com/panorama/tour/palomarcabin.html
I have been using these panos for while to learn this program and I know that in one point it worked fine on iPad. I believe it changed in about same time like the new update of PTP 2 came out with multiresolution support on mobile devices. But that is just my speculation. thank you, Katerina

I actually finished my UFO that really was a PFO (partially finished object). someone said FFO is a finally finished object and that fits this one for sure. I'm thinking of sending it to my Sister in Houston. She fell in May and broke her left arm and her nose. Later found her right knee was also broken. She has pins everywhere now (and they aren't for sewing!).
I had tons of trouble moving this quilt around to quilt it. I'm just glad it's done.

9 days on the Nautilus Belle Amie
Socorro is all about amazing interaction with our favourite giant mantas.
No other mantas in the world behave like this. We don't know why but we LOVE it!! And the mantas clearly love us back. Aside from the usual interaction with mantas, dolphins and 10 kinds of sharks, 1200 humpback whales migrate down from Alaska at this time of year to mate and breed. You may see whales on the surface and you may even hear them singing when diving. Please note that cooler waters and humpback whales go hand-in-hand and you can expect water temps 73 - 74 degrees.

We see the concept car, we hear the specs, and we catch glimpses of the camouflaged prototype. Our expectations are high, but the car turns out to be a dud. This happens all the time.
No car was quite as hyped as the Chevy Vega, which was supposed to turn the tide against Japanese imports and give everyone the small car from GM they'd always hoped for. The hype cycle was immense and took years. Pretty as the car was, it broke down all the time, weighed too much, and didn't have anywhere near the same amount of space inside as its boxy foreign competitors.
What car has been the biggest letdown after the most hype?

FS#299 - Object Properties Feature
Opened by Benedikt Adelmann (badelmann) - Saturday, 29 June 2013, 10:46 GMT
Last edited by William F Pokorny (wfpokorny) - Tuesday, 07 February 2017, 13:52 GMT
Up to POV-Ray 3.7 RC7 it has not been possible so far to declare custom properties for POV-Ray's objects, which would be especially useful for complex objects defined in include files.
Currently, if you want to have an object (e.g. a car) with certain variable parameters (e.g. colour, wheel rotation, ...) defined in an include file and the parameters set by a scene file which uses the include file, you have to choose one of the following approaches:
1. use a macro
#macro car(colour, wheelrot, ...) ... #end
or, 2. check parameters declared before, e.g.
#declare car = union { #ifdef (colour) #local colour_internal = colour; #else #local colour_internal = default_colour; #end }
The resulting object would be used in the following way:
#include "car.inc" // include file once object { car(rgb <1,0,0>, 0, ...) // macro approach }
// other approach #declare colour = rgb <1,0,0>; #declare wheelrot = 0; ... #include "car.inc" // include file every time you want to have a car object instance object { car }
Needless to say, both approaches are not quite optimal.
My suggestion would be creating an SDL feature to
One step up could be to even declare object classes along with them.
This could look like this:
// include file code class car { // alternatively (without classes) use #declare car = object { ... property colour = rgb <1,0,0>; // with default colour union { ... } } // scene file code car { // alternatively (without classes) use object { car ... } colour rgb <0,0,1> }
Note that this solution makes the declarations much more concise and easy-to-read. Especially in scenes with many includes and animation scenes where objects' properties have to be manipulated according to sometimes complex functions, this would be very useful. Please also consider that such user-defined objects can have dozens of properties.
This seems like the old opposition between positional language and keyword arguments based language.
(I like their opposition of Java & Objective-C)
Traditionnaly, the SDL was rather positional, with a few exceptions like a part of the camera (yet, the type of camera must still be in first position).
keyword is no excuse for not documenting a macro, and no excuse either to not read the documentation.
Yet, I wonder if documenting for doxygen would be possible (using doxygen formal comments), to ease the search and usage of all macro and objects.
I like positional better than named, because named imply too much verbosity (you cannot have a default order, and having to write "sphere{ center <0,0,0> radius 2 }" is not what I'm used to.
I would not suggest making the SDL entirely keyword argument based, but what my suggestion would mean is a slight move towards data structures / "objects" in SDL. SDL does not need to become an object-oriented language (too major a change I think), but consider the JavaScript / C example in the "With data structures" section of the Wikipedia article. I had somethink similar to that in mind when writing this feature request. That way, SDL could stay positional yet allow keyword arguments.
void doSomethingWithCar(Colour BodyColour, Colour MirrorColour, RearType Rear, int CowlLength, int NumberOfDoors, int WheelRotation, int BootLidRotation, int CowlRotation, int[][] DoorRotations)
In Java or any other object-oriented language, something like the following would be more appropriate:
void doSomethingWithCar(Car ACar) // Car class encapsulates car's properties // if doSomething is a method of class Car ACar.doSomething();
Defining methods in SDL does probably go a bit too far.
keyword is no excuse for not documenting a macro, and no excuse either to not read the documentation
Yes indeed, but when you look at your scene again a year after you have written it and if you just want to change one parameter of one object, you do probably not want to read the documentation (although it is not too much effort).
I wonder if documenting for doxygen would be possible
That would anyway be useful. Additionally it would be nice then if POV-Ray's editor window could display a documentation popup if needed.
Finally, another advantage of data-structure-like custom objects in SDL would be that if a parameter was added to an object (class) after that class has already been in use, it would not be necessary for everybody who uses it to update the macro call code (just the default value would be used). Currently, this could be achieved with the second approach I described, but that approach leads to very high verbosity indeed.
The problem with data-structure-like custom object for optional paramater in macro is that it would need open strong typing (defined by user) (whereas current SDL know of only limited object (object, material, texture, pigment,... vector, float, string). Not impossible, but might be expensive to implement.
Maybe an alternate solution to the subconscious issue might be the support of default values for macro. (even allowing something like "Car(,,,SteerWheelAngle) " and "Car(,,,,,,,,Blue)" with a "#macro Car(Pigment=pigment{color Black}, Heading=0, ..."
It is not easy either, but avoid at least user-defined type/class (which are not supported at all so far)
The problem with data-structure-like custom object for optional paramater in macro is that it would need open strong typing
I do not see that, why?
- The parameters (of a data structure) need not be strongly typed.
- Any variable holding a custom object / data structure as a value need not be typed (however, the time it is assigned to scene by an object {} block it has to be known the exact class if classing is implemented)
If I have gotten something wrong and there actually is a problem, you could do something like other scripting languages, e.g. JavaScript: introduce Dictionary objects which can hold arbitrary values associated with names. The items could then be extracted like car_dict["wheel_angle"] (with or without quotes) or using dot notation, e.g. car_dict.item("wheel_angle"). This would be similar to the issue discussed in FS#129.
Going back to what I guess is the original intention of the feature request: A feature to define arbitrary custom "primitives" with the same syntax as the built-in primitives is high on the agenda of at least some members of the dev team; it will probably come as part of a major overhaul of the parser and revision of the SDL.
A feature to define arbitrary custom "primitives"
Yes, I think that fits the problem I had in mind writing this feature request. I did not know though that such a feature (i.e. to that extent, which apparently seems to be a major change) had already been planned.

Now tracked on github as issue #233.

The crimson-haired woman makes sure to offer snacks to each person entering the room. She's seated at the end, next to a carved marble fireplace that doesn't entirely match the rest of the neutral corporate décor.
It used to be different here. "It was a very beautiful living room, with beautiful chairs and lovely couches," she says. That's when this place was hers and J. Paul Getty's. They called it their ranch; we call it the Getty Villa.
Theodora Getty Gaston — Teddy — will turn 100 this month, just in time for the publication of her new memoir, "Alone Together: My Life With J. Paul Getty" (Ecco: 416 pp., $26.99). In person, Gaston is sweet and sharp. Recounting the incredible stories of her life, she is alternately lighthearted and serious, demure then sassy.
She recalls a museum tour guide saying that she and J. Paul Getty never slept at the Villa-slash-ranch. "If we didn't sleep here, who the hell was I sleeping with?" Gaston asks wryly. "We didn't tell everybody in the United States, hey, we two are going up to sleep at the ranch. We didn't announce it. We just came here, went to bed, got up in the morning and had breakfast and left."
She's using "sleeping" euphemistically, and there's a surprising sexual frankness in the book, particularly for a centenarian society girl raised in Greenwich, Conn. She vividly describes her own love affairs, and in the first pages, she describes being sexually assaulted by her stepfather.
Striving for independence after college, Teddy Lynch launched a singing career. This was 1932: In a successful Depression-era gambit to bring the still wealthy in the door, the Waldorf Astoria booked debutantes to sing, giving them dinner and $25 a week.
"Although no one knew it, I was the only girl living on that $25 a week. The others still lived with their families on Park Avenue or in River House," she writes. She shared a dingy apartment with two other girls, "and slept in a single bed right under a huge window overlooking the back alley filled with trash. It was summer, and we had to leave the window open to catch whatever breeze might come our way, no matter how bad it smelled."
That recall makes the book so engaging. "Her voice was so attractive," says co-writer Digby Diehl, co-author of bestselling memoirs from Dan Rather and Esther Williams and a former Times editor. "She would weave this extraordinary time of dinner dances and the Hamptons — a time she recollects very clearly."
Her singing brought her and Getty together. She describes their meeting with crystal clarity. She was singing at a chic club; he was struck by the quality of her voice and asked her to dance. "Usually they say, 'Well, you're a pretty sexy dancer, I want to [pause], let's go home,'" she says, waving a hand. "And this man is talking about the quality of my voice."
He fell for her as a torch singer but believed she could sing opera. When their love affair began, he paid for her to take lessons from magnificent teachers — something she writes that she accepted only after insisting on paying him 10% of her future singing earnings.
"I have the canceled checks, and he signed them!" she says. This might be unusual behavior for a billionaire, but Getty was notoriously tightfisted. Before their 1939 marriage, he had her sign a prenuptial agreement and, in later years, he became increasingly ungenerous with her. But first he swept her off her feet.
The billionaire, the beautiful young singer he grooms — there are echoes here of "Citizen Kane," and it's perhaps no coincidence that Gaston did know William Randolph Hearst, upon whom the film was based. For many years, Gaston lived in Santa Monica right next door to Marion Davies and her legendary beach house. The key difference between Gaston and the film character: Gaston was a genuine talent — she sings opera in the Oscar-winning "The Lost Weekend".
"Alone Together" is a whirlwind tour through the storied places and people of the early 20th century: the Stork Club and the Russian Tea Room, appearances by Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, Jesse Lasky. Hollywood never became the center of her world, though. Gaston studied opera in England and Italy and was so determined to work until she could perform opera on stage that when Getty returned to America, she stayed behind in Rome.
It was far too close to the onset of World War II. "I remember coming out of the American Embassy, and a man was going by saying, 'Avanti avanti, Il Duce.' I thought, 'Well, I'm going to hear him now. Personally.' So I followed him to the area where Mussolini was speaking," she says.
"I was in the palazzo — the piazza, you call it — right beneath where he lived, and he came out there strutting like a little [here, she pauses] poo poo." In her seat, more than a half-century later, Gaston mimes Mussolini's strut.
It's hard to fathom Getty not trying harder to bring her home, but Gaston says she was insistent. Tensions escalated into war, and things became increasingly harrowing; she couldn't get an exit visa. She served a stint as a journalist, then was thrown into Italian prison.
When Gaston made it back to the U.S. in 1942, she was surprised to find that Getty expected her to become a homemaker in suburban Oklahoma, where he was contributing to the war effort by running Spartan Aircraft. She soon moved to a beach house in Santa Monica, while her husband split his time between Oklahoma and California.
According to the book, Getty kept his business dealings — some of which have been criticized by historians — at arm's length. The marriage had its share of good times, which Gaston is able to recall with a clear-eyed fondness, and bad, which included a number of affairs.
"He was sort of stupid. Like all men are," she says, more amused than angry. "Stupid doing those silly little things."
At least she had a career of her own again — for a while, she had a radio show — and she and Getty had a son, Timmy. Born in 1946, Timmy saw little of his father, who in 1951 decamped for Europe where he was negotiating deals with oil brokers of the Middle East.
Their son Timmy was diagnosed with a brain tumor, undergoing a series of operations from the time he was 7. Getty refused to return to the U.S. while lambasting Gaston over the costs of Timmy's care. From the Ritz Hotel in Paris, Getty wrote that doctors "grossly overcharged you," adding, "Frankly I never liked the Cedars of Lebanon hospital. It may be a movie type joint. I will investigate these charges and get the reasonable portion of them paid. I hope Timmy can keep away from doctors, except for a $10 visit." Timmy went for a two-year stretch without seeing Getty at all.
At age 12, Timmy died. Gaston was with him at a New York hospital; Getty was in Europe.
"Oh, my God, he was so far away," she says now. "It was horrible to go through it alone." The memoir ends with Timmy's death, which came two years after Gaston and Getty had divorced.
The life she has lived since then — marrying longtime family friend William Gaston, having her daughter Gigi (now a filmmaker) in her late 40s, and breaking her neck at age 92 when an SUV ran a red light and smashed into her car — will have to come in another book. Which 100-year-old Teddy Gaston just might have in her.
Theodora Getty Gaston will be signing "Alone Together" at the Barnes & Noble at the Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica, on Sunday, Sept. 15, at 2 p.m.
[For the record, 9:15 a.m. PDT Sept. 6: An earlier version of this post said Gaston's signing would be on Saturday. It will be on Sunday, Sept. 15.]

Hi all :)
Allright, I've been MIA again.. Hah sorry! This mani is one I did a week ago, before going to Jutland.. I didn't get a good pic of it with my camera so this one is taken with my phone.. And I'm blogging from my phone for the first time, so this probably looks like shit!
I wasn't fully satisfied with this mani.. But I needed something bright and that's what I got.. It's done with some nail art tape, which is supposed to stay on, but I used it instead of normal tape.. Not at all worth it, next time I'll be using a striping brush instead..
Today is my mom's birthday and in my next post I'll show you what I gave her 'cause it's nail polish related :)
See ya!

You may remember Titans running back Stafon Johnson from last year, when he was the victim of a horrible weight room accident. Johnson dropped a 275-pound barbell on his throat while bench pressing. His larynx was crushed, and the doctors who put his neck back together marveled that Johnson was able to live through such catastrophic damage.
Now Johnson is a rookie running back for the Titans and finds himself trying to make yet another astonishing comeback from a terrible injury. After dislocating and breaking his ankle Saturday night, Johnson may still find his way onto an NFL field this season. Our partner Mike Florio reports Johnson could be recovered in as few as eight weeks.
Titans coach Jeff Fisher said after Johnson had successful surgery that if things go well the recovery time could be eight to twelve weeks…
"I just think everyone is pulling for him,'' Fisher said. "How can you not pull for him considering what he's gone through? Then to have that happen, in the first preseason game, is difficult."
…But the good news is that it's possible he could play in 2010, and Fisher said he does see Johnson making it in the NFL.
"He'll get his opportunity again," Fisher said. "He showed he can play in this league."
Johnson was never a lock to make Tennessee's roster, and while Fisher says very kind things about Johnson (who wouldn't?), his comments don't make it clear that Johnson's next opportunity will be with the Titans. Johnson could be cut soon, and possibly find himself rehabbing his injury on his own, without an NFL team's support or resources.
I hope that doesn't happen, given what Johnson has gone through, and the remarkably positive attitude he's shown in the face of all these grim injuries. But the NFL is a harsh place, and every preseason is a reminder that there are people out there like Johnson who are trying to make the squad because they need work, just as you and I do.
U.S. & World
They know they aren't superstars who will make millions. They're just roster guys who are trying to earn a decent paycheck. Seeing one of them go down with such a rotten injury mere months after suffering an even worse one feels heartbreakingly unfair.
So let's hope that Johnson's best-case eight-week plan is what comes to pass. Because the alternative is something no one wants to have to think about.

Harry Belafonte to Be Awarded Honorary Doctorate at Tribute Concert March 6
Berklee students and faculty will celebrate Harry Belafonte's life and music, from "Banana Boat Song" to "We Are the World," at a tribute concert on March 6.
Berklee president Roger H. Brown will present an honorary doctor of music degree to Belafonte at this event in recognition of his inspiring musical and humanitarian achievements. Past recipients of Berklee's honorary doctorate include Duke Ellington (the first, in 1971), Dizzy Gillespie, Steven Tyler, Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, Juan Luis Guerra, David Bowie, Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Bonnie Raitt, George Clinton, and Carole King.
The Life and Music of Harry Belafonte: A Tribute Concert, directed by professor Larry Watson, is the culmination of a three-day celebration that includes a teach-in for the Berklee community on March 5. The teach-in will be a forum for the discussion of Belafonte's groundbreaking legacy in the areas of music, film, the civil rights movement, and human rights advocacy, and an examination of music's impact on social change. The panel, moderated by assistant liberal arts chair Michael Mason and assistant voice chair Diane Richardson, will feature artists, scholars, and community activists including Melvin King, Betsy Siggins, and Lindsey Swindall.
Additional Harry Belafonte teach-in events include:
· A viewing of an excerpt from Belafonte's documentary film, Sing Your Song.
· Belafonte as UNICEF goodwill ambassador: an overview of UNICEF and discussion about ways for all of us to take action and contribute to the world.
· A historical tribute to Belafonte with William Banfield, professor of Africana studies.
Belafonte was born in Harlem in 1927 and grew up in Jamaica. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II and served as a munitions loader. After an honorable discharge, he returned to New York, where he became immersed in the world of theater. Paralleling this pursuit was his interest and love of jazz. He developed relationships with the young geniuses of modern jazz, and on the occasion of his first professional appearance, had Charlie Parker, Max Roach, Tommy Potter, and Al Haig as his backing band.
Belafonte's RCA album Calypso made him the first artist in industry history to sell more than 1 million LPs. He also won a Tony Award, an Emmy Award as the first black producer in television, and starred in the Golden Globe-winning film Carmen Jones.
Belafonte's many firsts in the overturning of numerous racial barriers in America is legend. He was appointed by President John F. Kennedy to be the cultural advisor for the Peace Corps and served for five years. Belafonte met a young Martin Luther King Jr. on his historic visit to New York in the early 1950s. From that day until the leader's assassination, Belafonte and King developed a deep and abiding friendship that for Belafonte still stands as one of his most precious experiences.
Disturbed by cruel events unfolding in Africa due to war, drought, and famine, Belafonte set in motion the wheels that led to the USA for Africa project and the recording of "We Are the World" on January 28, 1985. Belafonte was also a prominent contributor to ending the oppressive apartheid government of South Africa and for the release of friend Nelson Mandela after 27 years of incarceration.
In 1987, Belafonte was appointed UNICEF goodwill ambassador, making him the second American to hold this title. He has continued to devote himself globally to civil and human rights issues, focusing in particular on the United States and Africa.
Belafonte has received numerous awards, including the Albert Einstein Award from Yeshiva University, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Peace Prize, the Acorn Award from the Bronx Community College for his work with children, and the Kennedy Center Honors for excellence in the performing arts. He was the first recipient of the Nelson Mandela Courage Award and was honored at the White House with the 1994 National Medal of Arts from President Clinton for his contributions to U.S. cultural life.
In 2013, he received the Spingarn Medal, the most prestigious award bestowed by the NAACP, and the Ambassador of Conscience Award from Amnesty International.

Great fun. Mine are: wear all the clothes, shoes, and purses I own at some time. Spend less time in sweats but more time working. And, AFTER TOMORROW, hammer nary a shingle onto the fricking shed.

HONOLULU (Reuters) - The East-West Center in Hawaii, a U.S. government-funded institute to promote better relations with Pacific and Asian nations, is hardly a centre of harmony these days.
At yearend, the four-person energy research team resigned, protesting funding and job cuts and accusing the centre's president of jeopardizing the viability of the 54-year-old institution, which receives about $16 million (9 million pounds) in federal funding and has been a respected forum for geopolitical research and discussion.
The resignations followed a steady paring of the centre's research staff during the 16-year tenure of President Charles E. Morrison, reflecting what he says is a more cost-effective strategy. Opponents, meanwhile, say the cuts have weakened the institute's influence that in the past helped shape national debates on U.S.-China relations, U.S.-Asia trade policy and other economic and political issues.
"The institution used to have great programs. The program on population was famous worldwide, the program that I ran for many years was famous worldwide, and now they have all been shut down or greatly reduced," Fereidun Fesharaki, a senior fellow for 34 years and leader of the energy team, said in an interview on Thursday.
Team members submitted their resignations on Tuesday, saying Morrison had undermined the global reputation of the nonprofit institute.
"He (Morrison) decided to de-emphasize and nearly kill research and expand other areas," Fesharaki said. "What's wrong with this? This is a research institution with little or limited research."
In a telephone interview, Morrison defended the research staff cuts, saying the new business model reflects the need for more funding from non-government sources.
"We're moving away from the old model of a large research staff and moving more toward networked activities" with universities and other institutions that share scholars on an ad hoc basis, he said.
"We have expectations from our side, and he has his view about what he thought was wrong at the East-West Center," Morrison said of Fesharaki. "He's expressed those over the years. I've tried to listen to him, and we'll just leave it at that."
The latest departures come ahead of annual budget talks in Washington that have pitted congressional Republicans, who in recent years have sought to cut funding for the centre, against Democrats, who have sought to keep funding near the latest year's sequestration-reduced level of slightly under $16 million.
The centre, with research, residential and conference facilities on a 21-acre campus in Honolulu, was supported by Hawaii Senator Daniel K. Inouye in his role as chairman of the Appropriations Committee. But the death of the longtime Democratic senator in December 2012 could could put the centre's funding at risk.
Fesharaki, who is also founder and chairman of the London-based FACTS Global Energy (FGE) consulting group, told Reuters the centre was being managed with little oversight by a board of directors that has limited interaction with the staff.
He said the team decided to resign after attempts to raise their concerns with board members and the president were rebuffed.
"We believe that the Center is at a vulnerable stage and can only survive if critical decisions are made and a whole new approach is adopted. We are convinced there is a need for leadership change and fresh blood to energize the Center," the energy team wrote in an open letter to East-West Center staff. "As it stands, we just cannot see how the Center can survive."
Morrison said his approach offered a better business model as government funding becomes less certain.
"Our new mission really emphasizes leadership training and emerging issues for the U.S. and the region," he said. "It's a different funding environment, and we expect the senior staff to be aggressive in developing fully funded projects for the East-West Center."
Fesharaki, however, said staff had little incentive to seek private funding sources because department heads could not control how those funds were spent.
Despite the centre's government support, it is registered in Hawaii as an independent nonprofit and is not required to report a breakdown of research and staffing levels. Besides research, the centre also runs education programs, seminars and a Pacific Islands development program. It also operates a research and training centre in Washington, among other activities, according to its website.
Morrison said his approach has increased the centre's research offerings.
"On-staff researchers have declined across the board at the East-West Center, and the result of that is that we do research (in partnership with outside groups) in areas we never did before - higher education, justice and human rights, governance," he said. "So we've expanded the amount of funding coming in for research with a much smaller staff."
But one outside public policy expert also questioned the direction the centre has taken.
"The East-West Center is a huge opportunity not just for the U.S. but also Hawaii. Hawaii should be the American window in the centre of the Pacific, and having this research institution with this long history, it ought to be in the centre of these big issues, and I sense that it's not," said Lucian Pugliaresi, president of the Washington-based Energy Policy Research Foundation Inc.
"It should be on the map. It's become a very sleepy place in the last 10 years, and part of it is because it just doesn't have the kind of focus and governance it needs," he said. "The resignations are likely to trigger a debate about what we should do with this asset."

Four years after director Neil Labute made hash of "The Wicker Man" remake, the man who directed the original is poised to release his follow-up to the 1973 cult classic.
The official website for Robin Hardy's "The Wicker Tree" has gone live, and while there's nothing to it other than an image of a wicker tree and a place to register for updates, it offers the promise that the film is on its way and will at least get the bad taste of the "Wicker Man" remake out of our heads.
The film is based on Hardy's novel "Cowboys for Christ," about a pop-turned-gospel singer who travels with her boyfriend from Texas to Scotland to spread the word of Jesus. As in the original, our heroes get caught up in Celtic pagan shenanigans.
U.S. & World
The book is "erotic, romantic, comic and horrific enough to loosen the bowels of a bronze statue," according to Christopher Lee, who starred in the original film.
Lee was to star in "Tree," as well, but a back injury during the filming of "The Resident" forced him to take a much smaller role.
While it's unlikely that "Tree" will reach the heights of paranoiac creepy weirdness of "Man," if the memory of the original is to be sullied, let it be by the likes of Hardy.

Me and my gf are new to anal play but found this to be a great starter kit. We used the toys to masturbate with and then used them during sex as well. We both thought our orgasms were unusually strong and longer lasting when having the anus stimulated during sex.Anonymous - May 28 2015
Thought the vibrator was decent but the buzzing is a bit annoying. like the size variation of the anal beads, the sleeve is hard to put on (easier if you use lube), didn't like the nubs on the sleeve to much either.Anonymous - January 27 2015
Great kit for a decent price. Took it with me on my vacation and had fun with my bf who thought it was very exciting of me to bring! Use lube on the vibe, it makes it easier to put the sleeve on.Anonymous - January 6 2015
My lover really like the cock ring with anal beads attached to it. He said it added hugely to our love making session, plus it made him stay harder and have a longer erection too. He loved when i used the vibrator to tickle his balls with and i think the added clit stimulation from it is out of this world!Anonymous - December 5 2014
my husband thought it was a great idea to get our first sex toy kit and that i took the initiative to do so. He loved the cocking with anal beads, but hated the pink color, looked way to cutsie for him. I loved my vibe, but the sleeve was a total pain to put on. But once everything was in place we had some awesome sex action that night. Great beginners kitAnonymous - October 30 2014
I recommend entering the world of anal play with this kit. She likes the color and her vibrator with the extra nubby sleeve which vibrates too. And I liked the cock ring with anal beads to masturbate with. We also used it when we had intercourse,and it was over the topAnonymous - October 16 2014
This is the first time me and my hubby dabbled with anal toys. Figured I'd get a kit with a vibrator in case we didn't like it, cause then I could always use the vibrator with the nubby sleeve vaginally. As it turned out we both took turns using the vibe anally, and we both really loved it. My husband thought the cock ring with the anal beads added lots of sexual stimulation too. Make sure to put lots of lube on and go real easy at first.Anonymous - September 22 2014

A local woman has set an ambitious goal: Stuff 30 new backpacks with various back to school items.
For the last few years, WBFF Pro Allyson Genovese has partnered with the local community to sponsor the Backpack Challenge for Underprivileged Children. Two years ago, she was able to collect two backpacks worth of supplies, due to a later start. Last year she was able to collect 15 backpacks worth of supplies.
"This year's goal is 30 backpacks," Genovese said.
Once everything is collected, the backpacks are dropped off at Southington Community Services.
Genovese said the idea to begin the collection dated back to when she worked at Prudential in Shelton. The company would adopt two children and help gather back to school supplies for them.
The collection will run through August 9. Anyone interested in donating new school supplies can contact Genovese at firstname.lastname@example.com or drop off the donations at Villari's Martial Arts Center, 405 Queen St. in Southington.

Day's Best: Santa and Mrs. Claus get some holiday exercise
Despite the snow — and presumably a previous night's hard work — Santa and Mrs. Claus went for their annual jog around Washington Park on Christmas Day, bringing a smile to anyone who saw them or a picture of their trek.
Jerry and Penelope O'Donnell have been carrying on the tradition of the Santa jog for 15 years. Certainly, the snow that had fallen the night before made it all the more special, and probably a little slippery as well.
It's quirky little traditions like this one that give a city character and a sense of whimsy.
We look forward to seeing them next year.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Brandeis University track and field team put together four scoring performances on the first day of action at the 2013 University Athletic Association (UAA) indoor championships at Case Western Reserve.
The highlight of the meet for the Judges on the first day of action was women's distance medley relay. Unseeded headed into the meet, the Judges took home the UAA title by more than five seconds over second-place Chicago with a time of 12:12.91. Junior Amelia Lundkvist (So. Portland, Maine/Cheverus) ran the lead 1,200-meter leg, followed by seniorCasey McGown (Clinton, Mass./Clinton) in the 400. Rookie Kelsey Whitaker (Kingston, Mass./Notre Dame Acad.) ran the 800-meter leg and junior Victoria Sanford (LaGrangeville, N.Y./Andover) anchored with the mile run. It was the first All-UAA honor for any of the four runners.
Also scoring points for the Brandeis women were a pair of long jumpers. Senior Brittany Bell (Setauket, N.Y./Hotchkiss School) placed fourth with a distance of 5.16 meters (16 feet, 11 ¼ inches), while rookie Melissa Darling (Weymouth, Mass./Weymouth) was sixth with a leap of 5.07 meters (16-7 ¾). The three scoring performances have the Judges in fifth place with 15 points.
The Brandeis men had one scoring performance, also coming in the DMR, where the Judges earned All-UAA honors with a third-place finish and a time of 10:25.96. Senior Mik Kern (Groton, N.Y./Groton) led off the relay, with rookie soccer standout Josh Hacunda (Hopkinton, Mass./Hopkinton) running the 400. Sophomore Taylor Dundas (Bath, Maine/Cheverus) ran the 800, while senior Alex Kramer (No. Andover, Mass./No. Andover) anchored in the mile. The Judges' six points earned by the DMR puts them in sixth place.
In tomorrow's finals, Brandeis will have a handful of high seeds. Kramer and Kern are the top two UAA performers in the mile run. In today's preliminaries, Bell for the women and juniorVincent Asante (Bronx, N.Y./High School for the Arts Imagination and Inquiry) both finished with the second-fastest times in the women's and men's 55-meter dash today. Asante had a time of 6.55 seconds. His 22.90 seconds was also good for a spot in the 200-meter finals tomorrow, placing fifth today. Bell's qualifying time was 7.34 seconds. She just missed the 200 finals by five-hundredths of a second with a time of 26.84 seconds. Darling qualified for the finals in the 55-meter hurdles in the fourth spot with a time of 9.15 seconds. Senior Kim Farrington (Shirley, Mass./Ayer) is among the top performers in the triple jump as well.

Seems to be a recurring nightmare here, but it seems ESRI UK gave us a bum steer. You do not need to install ArcObjects .NET SDK (and, of course, the obligatory VS IDE), but you do need to have an installation of one of the desktop products in order to be able to use the dlls.
Heres a link to the help page, but it appears you need to have ArcMap/ArcCatalog/etc installed in order to fully be able to deploy any application you've developed using ArcObjects? Is this insanity on my part?
I would have thought the easiest way would be to bundle the dlls, but am told you can reference the GAC dlls (Not too sure I understand this so a steer would be appreciated). However, ESRI docs seem to clearly state they cannot be deployed without an appropriate ArcGIS Desktop application installed.
Surely this is just for custom Desktop tools and not AGS tools?
Any ideas?

WINGATE, N.C. - The Georgia College & State University cross country teams ran at the NCAA Division II Southeast Region Championship at Wingate University today (Nov. 8) with the Bobcat women taking a school-best fifth, and the men improving to a ninth-place finish.
The women took fifth of the 22 teams, improving 10 spots over last year's finish. The Bobcats had 194 points, falling just 17 behind Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Champions Columbus State University.
Georgia College had two runners in the top-30, as junior Heather Raines (Lawrenceville, Ga.)was 26th (25:16) and classmate Bonnie Ueltzen(Blairsville, Ga.) 28th (25:21).
Coming in 52nd was junior Virginia Balkcom(Fayetteville, Ga.), crossing the line in 26:06. Freshmen took the next two spots, as Victoria Dobson (New Hamburg, Ontario) was 59th (26:15) and Sarah Balkcom (Fayetteville, Ga.) 63rd in 26:19, just 13 seconds behind her sister.
Lees-McRae College won the team title, with PBC rival Augusta State University making it to the National Championship by taking runner-up honors. Lenoir-Rhyne College was third. PBC foe Clayton State University took the individual champion honors, as Allison Kreutzer broke the tape in the 6k race at 22:24.
The Bobcat men took ninth, two spots better than a year ago, and had 259 points. They were third among PBC schools.
Freshman Rob Manning (Lawrenceville, Ga.)snapped the school record in the 10k, finishing 18th in 33:56, just three spots out of All-Region honors. Manning edged teammate Josh Hollar's (Canton, Ga.) record by 16 seconds, a mark he set at this meet a year ago.
Freshman Colin Conroy (Dacula, Ga.) was second, finishing 44th in 35:16, while Hollar came in 47th (35:26). Conroy's time is the ninth-best in program history, while Hollar's ranks 10th.
Sophomore Tim Cary (Monroe, Ga.) proved solid again, finishing in 36:37 for 72nd. Classmate Erik Ottoson (Suwanee, Ga.) was 90th in 37:46.
Queens College (N.C.) won the team race, with Columbus State taking runners-up and moving on to the National Championship in Slippery Rock, Pa. Taking the individual title was Oscar Ogwaro from Queens, finishing in 30:54.
The race ends another great season for the Bobcat harriers, one that saw both squads battle through injuries to key runners and still remain one of the top teams in the PBC. Georgia College also opened its brand-new West Campus Cross Country Course, a beautiful venue that will provide excellent races for years to come.

Senior libero Shannon Brodie
BOSTON, MA-Host UMass Boston swept their Little East Conference match against the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's volleyball team at the Clark Athletic Center Tuesday evening.
UMass Boston, the 17th-ranked team in the NCAA Division III ranks, won, 25-13, 25-12 and 25-7.
Senior outside hitter Allie Mastrocola (Swansea, MA/Case HS) had eight kills, while senior middle blocker Cami Ascher (Natick, MA/Natick HS) added five kills to lead the Corsairs. Junior setter Jess Goncalves (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS) had 15 assists, while senior libero Shannon Brodie (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford HS) had nine digs.
"We were outmanned," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve DeRossi. They were very big and quick, and the tempo they ran is something we couldn't duplicate in practice, and we weren't able to handle the speed of their offense. You can see why they're one of the top-ranked teams in the nation."
The Corsairs dropped to 11-10 and 1-3 in the Little East Conference with the loss, while UMass Boston improved to 18-2 and 4-0 in LEC play with the victory, and is undefeated against Division III teams this season. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they play Emerson and Colby-Sawyer this weekend.

Serious Cheese: Beecher's Handmade in Seattle
Say cheese! We recommend, review, and eat a lot of cheese.
"Beecher's is a great model for the new urban gastronomy—it reminds us city-dwellers that food comes from somewhere."
Seattle's Pike Place Market delicately straddles two seemingly antithetical modes: down-home city produce market with plenty of local flair, and crowded tourist trap complete with fishmonger hijinks and overpriced hippie regalia. But to paint this place in such broad strokes is to miss the real beauty of it. What it comes down to for me is that for all the spectacle, a lot of the food you can get at Pike Place is really, seriously good.
Other than the fishmongers, nowhere in the market is food performance as important to the experience than at Beecher's Handmade Cheese, where tourists and locals alike can witness real, high-quality, artisanal cheese being made right before their eyes. To be sure, cheese is a largely rural enterprise, but Beecher's has brought it right into the downtown of a major American city. And yet the place still wouldn't pique my interest if the cheese they made weren't so damn good!
Beecher's Flagship cheese is a cross between cheddar and gruyère—a fine cheese, and especially good in their famous penne and cheese, available at the store fresh, or to go, or in little (free) tasting cups. However, the real reason to visit Beecher's is for the award-winning Flagship Reserve, special cloth-bound batches of the Flagship cheese made "when the milk composition is just right." Other treats at the store include fresh cheese curds (from the latest batch of Flagship), and excellent grilled cheese sandwiches of all different stripes.
If that weren't enough, Beecher's also has a decent selection of local cheeses of the Pacific Northwest, from producers such as Mt. Townsend Creamery, Juniper Grove Farm, Beehive Cheeese, and many others.
Beecher's is a great model for the new urban gastronomy—it reminds us city-dwellers that food comes from somewhere. Cheese doesn't just grow on supermarket shelves, pre-grated. There's a process, guided by people, behind what we eat. And often times, that's precisely what makes it good. I really believe we'd all be happier and healthier if there were more places like Beecher's around to help us realize that.

Remembering Commodore Founder and PC Pioneer Jack Tramiel
Steve Jobs and Apple snatch up most of the media's attention these days and it often gets overlooked that three machines actually defined the PC revolution back in 1977: the Apple II, the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 1, and the Commodore PET. What brings this to mind today is the recent passing of Jack Tramiel, Commodore's founder and an often-slighted computer pioneer.
I remember deciding between the three systems 35 years ago and choosing the TRS-80 because it was more business-like and easier to get support where I lived. But the Apple II proved to be the most expandable (due to the floppy disk drive Steve Wozniak created) and the PET was the most integrated of all of them, with a small monochrome monitor and integrated cassette recorder for storing programs.
I only met Tramiel a few times, but I remember him as a feisty, competitive man. He had a reputation as a hard-driving manager with the philosophy that "business is war." Tramiel's Commodore International had already been a maker of calculators when it first showed the prototype PET at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 1977, and though it didn't ship until that fall, it did beat the other two to market. (There were other PCs that came even earlier, notably the MITS Altair, though they were mostly kits.)
By most accounts, the PET was really the brainchild of Chuck Peddle, perhaps best known as one of the designers of the 6502 microprocessor that was the heart of both that machine and the Apple II. The calculator business had been facing a lot of competition from TI, which made the chips, so Commodore had bought MOS Technology, which made the 6502. Peddle then convinced Tramiel that computers, not calculators, were the future.
It was followed in 1981 by the VIC-20, which became the first computer to sell more than a million units, and the even more popular Commodore 64, which went on to sell 22 million units. (Read PCMag's account of the 25th anniversary of the machine.) The Commodore 64 eventually competed with the Atari 400/800 and its successors in a battle that was much more vicious and personal than the current competition among video game consoles.
After a price war hurt all the competitors, Tramiel left Commodore and ended up buying the bulk of the Atari business from Warner Communications. Eventually, Atari released the Atari ST console, which fought the Commodore Amiga for attention among gamers in the mid to late 1980s. (The IBM PC, compatible machines, and the Apple Macintosh had taken over the general purpose computer market by that time.) Although the Amiga still had faithful fans for a long time, neither company really succeeded; the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) became the leading game machine of the era, and both Commodore and the Atari pretty much faded away.
One thing that set Tramiel apart from most of the other early computer pioneers was his emphasis on producing very inexpensive machines "designed for the masses, not the classes." While today that's fairly typical, remember that most machines back then were much more expensive. The Commodore 64 with 64KB of memory sold for $595 in 1982; the cheapest IBM PC with 16K of memory cost $1,565.
Tramiel's personal history was inspiring: Born in Poland, he was sent to Auschwitz by the Nazis and later ended up at another concentration camp before being rescued at the end of World War II. He immigrated to the United States and not only built a successful business, but also spoke often about his experiences during the war and was an early backer of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
In the technology industry, he will be remembered mostly for Commodore, and perhaps a bit for the Atari ST, but his push for better machines at lower prices played a big factor in both development of the PC and the gaming console.

My wife and I are looking for a new boat and are very interested in the F45 CC. Thanks to those who responded to an earlier post regarding sail handling from the cockpit. Two other issues which were not satisfactorily resolved by a sea trial are the motoring and sailing performance. Regarding motoring performance, what can we expect for cruising speed and max speed? During our trial cruising speed appeared to be around 6.3 knots -- based on what was later disclosed as a potentially faulty speedo and variable wind conditions (our boat had wing keel, 3-blade Variprop, and 75 hp Yanmar). Regarding sailing performance, the boat we sailed had been retrofitted with loosely tensioned roller furling head sail. In approximately 10 knots of wind (true) we made around 4.5 knots -- but two battens came out of their pockets and at best the results we witnessed are suspect. (BTW this boat had a "serviceable" fully battened main.) Any insights as to expected boat speed under various wind conditions and heading would be appreciated. Also, how much wind do you need before you raise the sails?
Finally, if anyone with a F45 would be up for an afternoon of "on-water tutoring", we would love to talk and happy to compensate you. We'd be happy to exchange contact info via a Private Message.

Warner Bros. has been trying to make a Wonder Woman film for at least the past decade. Additionally, the most recent attempt at bringing the property to television ended in spectacular failure. Needless to say, as far as live-action adaptations are concerned, Wonder Woman is going through a bit of a rough patch.
However, her luck might be turning around. In June, acclaimed director Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive) spoke about his desire to make a Wonder Woman film with Christina Hendricks in the lead role. And recently, Hendricks herself talked about her desire to play the Amazonian princess.
On the topic of whether or not she would play Wonder Woman, courtesy of Vulture:
"Sure! I grew up on the TV show, and I had Wonder Woman Underoos, and my brother had a Wonder Woman doll — sorry, Aaron, you're exposed. [Giggles.] And Nicolas said, when we were on set, 'I want you to be Wonder Woman.' And I think he is such an extraordinary and exceptional director, that if he asked me to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat."
Refn himself went on record to tell Collider how, exactly, he would approach the character of Wonder Woman:
"I think my whole fetish and my interest in Wonder Woman came from three or four years ago...My daughter got obsessed with the Wonder Woman televisionshow. The old, '70s version. I would watch them back to back with her and really enjoyed them immensely. And I've always been fascinated by her as a character. I'm not a knowledgeable comic fanatic, as a lot of other people are. But I was very fascinated by a woman of power. And I couldn't come [up] with any other great role models for my daughter to, say, 'That's a woman.' Besides her mother. So I started getting wholly, completely obsessed about Wonder Woman and saying, 'I've got to make her as a movie. I've got to make my take on it.' And then I met a comic book writer who told me the origins about her, which was very fascinating and I began to see that myself and the creator of her probably had the same fetish of women. And then I knew that I had to make this film… if it ever gets made."
Hendricks went on to address the topic of Joss Whedon also having her in mind for the role when he was set to write/direct the Wonder Woman film:
"I'd like to think that Joss would have cast me! I also loved working with Joss [on Firefly]. I'm excited to see what he does with The Avengers. Hopefully the stars would align [for Wonder Woman]. It would be really fun. It would be cool, wouldn't it? I'd get to kick ass."
On the topic of whether or not Christina Hendricks would want a Wonder Woman film to be true to its sexuality-themed origins:
"Well, I would certainly do what Nicolas wanted to do, and I can only guess what his version would be, but as I grew up with and am now married to a comic book fan, I think it's important to be true to the original comic books, because I know that the fans love every detail and it's very important to them. So I think it would be cool to do that. I look forward to learning more about it, actually. I should probably start reading them, so that if someone were to ask me [to be in the movie], I would be fully prepared. [Grins.]"
Frankly, this particular Screen Rant writer is more excited by the prospect of Nicolas Winding Roth directing a Wonder Woman film than he is Christina Hendricks playing the character. (Which isn't to say that Hendricks is a bad choice for the role – she's a good actress, so in all likelihood, she'd do a good job.)
More superhero films need to start thinking outside the box. Everybody and their grandmother was excited when Darren Aronofsky was hired to direct The Wolverine – and then subsequently crushed when they found out that he'd left the project.
Wouldn't it be nice to watch a superhero film that didn't feel like a cookie-cutter superhero film (up-and-coming actor + origin + uncomplicated bad guy = $$$)? Whatever your thoughts are on The Dark Knight, at least that felt more like a film and less like a formula.
What are your thoughts on Christina Hendricks playing Wonder Woman? Let us know in the comments.
Drive, which co-stars Hendricks, hits theaters September 16th, 2011 - so be sure to check out our Drive review. When we hear anything about a live-action Wonder Woman, we'll let you know.

An Oklahoma woman was found alive in her deep freezer days after she was reported missing. Family members say she may have been disoriented and attempted to take shelter, KJRH's Breanne Palmerini reports.
Updated at 7:10 p.m. ET: A woman who vanished last weekend was found alive in a freezer in west Tulsa, Okla., after possibly climbing inside to take shelter from a storm, NBC station KJRH reported.
Theresa Christian, 59, disappeared Saturday and was discovered Wednesday with severe freezing of the legs, KJRH said. She was listed in serious condition, KJRH reported.
Her son told the station he is relieved she was found alive.
"She wasn't answering the phone or anything like that, so I came by here (Tuesday) night, about 10:30, knocked on the door, knocked on the door, and I couldn't get a response or anything," Christian's son, Jermal Stewart, told KJRH.
Tuesday, Christian's brother, William Andy Jr., entered the apartment near W. 23rd Ave. and Southwest Blvd. and did not find her.

"We went through the house calling out her name and stuff and couldn't get a response or anything," Andy told KJRH.

Stewart went back to the apartment early Wednesday and had the apartment's maintenance crew unlock the door again.
"I heard her say, 'Help me, help me,'" Stewart said.
Stewart told KJRH he opened a closet door in the kitchen and saw his mother sitting in the freezer with the lid open, unable to move.
Family members say she may have been disoriented. "My mom takes a lot of medications, and it mixes with her system and it don't give her an appetite at all," Stewart told KJRH.
Police told reporters they suspect Christian crawled into the freezer to take shelter.
There was no severe weather in the area on Saturday, KJRH reported.

"Possibly she thought maybe there was a tornado coming, but they're not really sure why or how she got there," Tulsa police Cpl. Daisy Vallely told KJRH.
No foul play is suspected, KJRH reported.

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the death of the French novelist and philosopher Albert Camus in a tragic car accident. Yet, as the online review The Daily Beast observes, he remains "the most widely read of all the postwar French writers and [is] hip enough to inspire a comic-book series."
In addition to the manuscript of his novel The Misunderstanding and other items in the Carlton Lake Collection of French Literature, the Ransom Center holds several fascinating few folders of correspondence between Camus and the publisher Blanche Knopf, to which a couple of additional letters have recently been added.
Few of the firm's authors were closer to Blanche Knopf than Albert Camus. After Blanche's death, her husband Alfred recalled that "she became very, very friendly with Camus…They were frequently closeted in our room discussing and working over his book-in-progress. I think she had the right to feel that she was part of his work, and I don't think she ever got over his death."
The special nature of this publishing relationship is also apparent in Blanche's 1960 memoir "Albert Camus in the Sun," in which she writes, "That he was a writer, I knew. In short, I believed in him from the very beginning." Blanche Knopf even gave him the trademark tan trench coat that the author wore in his most famous dustjacket photograph by Cartier-Bresson.
Blanche Knopf played a significantly larger role in shaping Camus's career and promoting his reputation—and not merely in the English-speaking world—than has been recognized. Three weeks after V-E Day, Blanche swept into France (one journalist commented, "I knew the war was over when [she] turned up in Paris") and almost immediately signed Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Camus. During her first meeting at the Ritz Hotel, she and Camus "talked about his writing, his future, his past, his plans, young writers in France, Pasternak, English writers, American writers, ourselves, everything, in these curious sessions we had together."
The Stranger, translated by Stuart Gilbert, was published by Knopf on April 11, 1946. Camus was in New York at that time for his first and only trip to the United States, and the Knopfs threw a large party in his honor. The novel initially sold fewer than 10,000 copies and was in the short term only a modest success, although it's now regarded as a classic of modern literature. He and his publishers had agreed that his second novel, The Plague, would be published in the United States before any of his earlier dramatic or philosophical works were translated. Later, Blanche put in a plea for intensive marketing of the novel, and her faith in The Plague was borne out: the hardback went on to sell 50,000 copies up to 1960. Camus was now able to go out and purchase a motorcycle.
In the middle years of their relationship, Blanche Knopf insisted on publishing translations of his more philosophical works, such as The Rebel, although they generally did not sell well in the United States. She desperately tried to steer the author, who was distracted by his theatrical pursuits, back to novel-writing—in particular The First Man, which was not published until forty years after his death. Near the end of his life, the firm published his short novel The Fall. It was in part due to active promotion by Blanche Knopf that Camus received his Nobel Prize in 1957. Alfred and Blanche Knopf accompanied him on a snowy train ride to see him accept the award and deliver a memorable speech.
As Alfred Knopf said, Blanche could be a "bulldog" when it came to advancing the case of authors she particularly admired. This was certainly the case with Camus, who may have owed much of his international success to her. Research in the Knopf archive shows that publishing isn't just about contracts and balance sheets; it's equally a matter of human relationships.

NEVER, under any circumstances, "put ur lips on the end of the barrel and blow"![:(!]
Even before you put your fuel in, the solvent-fumes from a freshly builkt launcher can/will ignite. IF you think about it, this would be equivalent to putting your mouth on the end of the barrel of a loaded semi-automatic firearm with the bolt locked open.
One of the first things (if not THE first thing) that we stress here is safety. And your suggestion (in my opinion) is completely irresponsible.

News Round-up, 20 March 2009
20 March 2009
We want to spend much of 2009 looking up at the stars, but to do that sometimes we must pay attention to what's happening closer to home. 28 March will bring us Earth Hour, as mentioned on the 100 Hours of Astronomy blog, when as many as one billion people will be turning off their lights to promote global sustainability. But don't worry, there's an astronomical motive as well: preserving dark skies. Nevada News reports that their local Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center at the University of Nevada will be celebrating Earth Hour from 7-10pm. So they're three times as enthusiastic as most. Similar events are occurring in the Homer Glen (US) region, reports Neighborhood Star, and GenQ is hopeful that all Australians will participate. If you're near any Earth Hour events, try to make it along to show your support. Bring a torch though, it'll probably be dark.
If you are lucky enough to have lovely dark skies, what should you look out for? Knox News has a commendable article about observing the planet Saturn, complete with tips from an astronomer. Nicely done, Knox News.
The News Herald (serving Burke County, NC, apparently) has a reassuringly lengthy article about an upcoming series of astronomy events held in Lake James State Park. Monthly star parties will be run by a Park Ranger assisted by the Catawba Valley Astronomy Club. There's a specially taken photo to illustrate the text, and they've included a link to astronomy2009.org in a prominent position. News Herald, you are setting an example for others to follow.
To the UK next, and This is Exeter has been advertising a special event hosted by the University of Exeter Astrophysics Group. It will be held on 1 April, and features hands-on demonstrations and talks from the astronomers. Dr Jennifer Hatchell, of the university's School of Physics, said: "The International Year of Astronomy is a chance for everyone to experience these things, and we look forward to sharing them with our visitors." I couldn't have put it better myself.
Not many articles begin with the line "What do the International Year of Astronomy and jazz music have in common?" To find out the answer, strut over to University of Guelph and read! But if your clicking finger is too tired, I'll tell you: a physics professor and singer/songwriter has produced a new album of songs inspired by people's fascination with the sky. Maclean's Magazine has written an article about her, which has got to be a good sign. If your curiosity has been sparked, there are music previews online.
That is all for now.
