The Sun Moves Ver-r-r-y Slowly
The Sun is the center of our solar system, but it doesn't stay in one place.
The Sun Is a Huge Ball of Energy
The Sun is about 865,000 miles in diameter. That's as wide as 109 Earths placed side by side! About 1 million Earths would fit inside the Sun.
The Sun Is Really Far Away
The Sun is about 93 million miles away from Earth. The actual distance varies during Earth's orbit, which is elliptical, or oval, not round.
What's the Sun made of? It's not solid. The Sun is composed of plasma, a material made from electrically charged gas atoms.
The Sun is one of 100 billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy. Scientists estimate that the Sun is about 4.5 billion years old, or approximately halfway through its life cycle.
Our full Moon March 2015 guide gives you at-a-glance information: Moon phase dates, Best Days by the Moon, Moon facts, folklore, and more!
Native Americans full Moon names were created to help different tribes track the seasons. Think of it as a "nickname" for the Moon! See our list of other full Moon names for each month of the year and their meanings.
Farmers, sailors, and other sky watchers have long used the Moon to predict the weather.
What is the influence of solar activity on the weather? Dr. Richard Head, who was the weather forecaster for The Old Farmer's Almanac for a quarter-century, answers this question and more.

Rose Mary's StoryMy mother made this for us in the early morning for breakfast before we went to work in the fields at 6:00 AM. She would also make a large pan of Biscuits and fried pork Chops if we had them to go with it. We would go into the field pull & shuck the corn so she could cook it very early, to keep us going till lunch at noon. If we were lucky sometimes we would have butter to go with the hot biscuits. My husband calls it cream style corn since he is from the midwest. The first time I made it and said I was making fried corn, he did not know what fried corn was, then said it's cream style corn.
ears young fresh corn (shucked)
4 Tbsp
bacon fat or canola or vegetable oil
1/2 c
milk or water ( mama called it sweet milk)
1 1/2 Tbsp
all purpose flour
1 Tbsp
1 large
egg, slightly beaten
1/2 tsp
each salt & pepper
Directions Step-By-Step
1Shuck corn by removing the outer green leaf layers.Wash corn & remove as many silks as possible.Using a large bowl, Cut corn from each ear of corn by running knife down the length of each ear of corn with a sharp knife removing the kernals as you glide knife down each ear of corn. Then run knife down the sides of corn a second time to remove the milk from the cob;
2Season with salt & pepper, Add sugar, flour, slightly beaten egg and milk or water. Stir thourgly to combine.
3Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet, and when oil is hot, carefully add the corn mixture.Lower the heat, and stir constantly to prevent scorching: cook about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
4Note: This was one of our favorite hearty breakfast meals during the spring months when the corn was ready to pick. We worked hard in the fields chopping cotton, and needed a hearty breakfast to tide us over till lunch time. Mama made all of this on a wood stove in the wee early hours so we could get to the fields by 6:00 AM.Recipe is in my cookbook in a section called Mama's Recipes.
5I added sweet red bell peppers to this one not only for color but for the sweet flavor of the peppers.

Yes Sheila, my Mama was from Arkansas, & that is where I grew up too, although I was born here in Illinois. Yes my husband tends to call it Cream Style corn he is a midwesterner, but in the South mama called it fried corn, as most other Southerners referred to it as fried corn too. To reflect back on the days of my youth brought back so many memories. It's like it was yesterday that we went out & pulled the corn for Mama to cook. iS YOUR RECIPE LISTED HERE?

No, Rose Marie, I have not posted it or even cooked it before, but, my mom made it a lot when she still cooked. I just forgot about it through the years until I read your recipe and told my mother and she said she had the recipe and I searched and found it. The only difference is the egg. It did not include egg and it called for cream instead of milk. I will make it this summer when we can get fresh corn from the fields.

2000 Pontiac Sunfire Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 31 reviews
There's no reason compact economy cars can't be fun to drive and stylish to look at. That's the kind of thinking that went into the 2000 Pontiac Sunfire, which got a flashier front and rear redesign, and a new look for its wheels and instrument panel, along with some new color choices. The 2000 Sunfire is sold as a sedan, coupe, and convertible. This year will be the last for the soft-top convertible.
The base SE sedan and coupe come with a 2.2-liter, 115-hp I4 engine with a new smoother 5-speed manual transmission. Both a 3 and 4-speed auto tran are optional. The GT coupe and convertible gets a DOHC 2.4-liter I4 that reaches a more impressive 150-hp. This engine is optional on the SE. All of the 2000 Sunfires come with dual front airbags, ABS brakes, and air conditioning. The coupes add a spoiler, and the GT adds a CD player. If you want power windows and locks, those are extra. New for 2000 is an optional Monsoon audio system, in another attempt by Pontiac to appeal to younger drivers who don't typically shop at GM. The GTs also get integrated foglights and leather trim for the steering wheel and shifter. A revised front console has been expanded to hold more CDs, and two cupholders and a coinholder have been added to it.
Owners of the 2000 Sunfire say the GT is the way to go. It feels fast and sporty, yet it still gets good gas mileage to maintain its economy car status. Owners say the Sunfire is a good personal car or first-time buy, and there are nice options, such as a sunroof and alloy wheel. The 12.4 cubic foot trunk is spacious for a compact. Complaints mention a cramped backseat in the coupes, a need for more power and pickup, and generally uncomfortable seats for long rides. There were also reported problems with the starter and a persistent check engine light (caused by a perpetually loose gas cap).

Stephen Colbert Wins First Golden Tweet Award for Most Retweeted
Twitter has unveiled the top 10 most retweeted tweets in its fourth installment of Twitter 2010, Year in Review. The number one spot goes to comedian extraordinaire Stephen Colbert for a single tweet about the Gulf Oil spill, and for this tweet Colbert got the first ever Golden Tweet Award, presented to him last night on the Colbert Report from Biz Stone himself. We've got the winning tweet, and the others who made it into the top ten, below.
Colbert's tweet was topical, and dealt with the number one trend of the year: the Gulf Oil spill. You can read the tweet below:
So why was this the most retweeted tweet of 2010? We think there's four reasons: Colbert's celebrity status gives him a wide reach, the tweet is funny and not (too) offensive, it's part of the most talked about topic on Twitter this year, and it is also about Twitter – something that surely went over well with fellow tweeters.
Aside from Colbert, the vast majority of top retweeted Twitter users are musicians: Drizzy Drake came in second place, Lil Wayne third, and Justin Bieber fourth. Then, Joe Jonas takes the sixth spot, Lady Gaga's in seventh, Kanye West is eighth and Rhianna is ninth.
In between the musicians, the spoof account alqaeda took fifth place and Sh*tmydadsays came in at number ten.
You can view the complete list of most retweeted tweets here.
Twitter has three other installments in its Year in Review series, including the Top New Faces, 10 Most Powerful Tweets, and Top 10 Trends in 2010.

The Garden of Eatin' Spenard, Alaska-looking for info
My great aunt and uncle were the original owners of the Garden of Eatin' in Spenard, Alaska. I am searching for articles, pictures or anything related to their place. The last I heard was that it was an Italian restaurant but know nothing else than that.
Any info would be greatly appreciated :)
You can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks :)
I worked at the Garden of Eatin'' in Spenard, Ak in the summer of 1967 or 1968. Hans Kirchener and Jerri Kirchener were the owners. I'm not sure I have the spelling of the last name correct. It was a very popular, quaint, fun place for dinner and we were packed every night. It was only open in the summer and they had been in the restaurant business for years. If you have more questions please feel free to ask!

September 9, 2014 at 12:46 am
I saw something sail past my face into my car before I'd even finished opening the door, but it was a dark and rainy night, literally, so I couldn't see what. I thought it must have been a leaf or a moth, but that was wishful thinking because what had actually jumped into my car, literally, was–
So, um, I was a little freaked out.
Usually when I'm walking through a dark parking lot I'm worried about another human being forcing his way into my car, not an amphibian. I looked inside and saw the small yet slimy creature chilling out on my dashboard like it was his favorite lily pad. I put my groceries on the front seat and left the driver's side door open while I went around to the other side. That's where I found a straw in my trash which I used to start prodding the trespasser out. The vanilla shake I'd gotten at the drive-through might not have been the best caloric decision, but it was totally worth it at this moment. Unfortunately, it's kind of hard to herd a frog because instead of letting me push him he'd make a sudden leap without me knowing exactly where he'd land (please, please, please, not in my hair).
Then I noticed that the guy I'd helped find Sensodyne in the dental hygiene aisle had strolled out of the store and was giving me a look which probably meant, "I hope this crazy lady didn't poison my toothpaste." I blurted out that there was a frog in my car, because when you have a frog in your car you feel a deep need to tell everyone that, "Oh my freakin' God, there is a frog in my car. Can you believe this actually happened?" By the time he came over all we could see were the moist impressions the creature's little froggy legs had left on my dashboard. "Geez, I hope you find it before it dies in your car," said Mr. Sensitive Teeth who was about three frog-leaps ahead of me in this game because I hadn't yet contemplated what a dead frog would smell like in a car parked in hot, summer weather.
I couldn't see the frog, so I got in, started the car and said a small prayer that nothing was going to leap into my face as I was driving down the road. though that would make for a hilarious accident report. That's when I spotted the little leaping menace wedged between the windshield and the dashboard on my far left. I opened the door, poked the frog with the straw again which caused it not to leap outside, but onto the shoulder of my buckled seat belt. Finally with a final poke it leapt outside and I slammed the door as fast as I could. Well, I'm 99% sure it leapt outside. I guess we'll know in a few days, won't we? If not, the next thing I'll be buying from the grocery store is air fresheners.

Evidently I really do know the back of my hand like the back of my hand because I had a minor freak out last week when a mole magically appeared on my left hand.
I'm 99% sure it was not there during the prior 33 years and some-odd months of my life, but suddenly it was there. At first I thought it was just dirt, but it wouldn't wash off. It wasn't a scab either because I couldn't pick it off. It was either a new mole or someone had tattooed a dot on my hand while I slept.
It didn't have any attributes of skin cancer (see the A, B, C, D, E of skin cancer here), so I was just going to write it off as one of the many weird things that happens when your body ages. It must be the next step after the development of that one, curly dark hair I have to pluck off my chin once a month. Not much longer until I'll need to trim my nose hairs, right?
Then something even weirder happened. The mole got magically lighter!
Fortunately I had taken a photo of the dark mole two days ago in preparation for blogging about it, so I have proof that this happened and I'm not hallucinating. But seriously, what the hell is going on here? I've heard of freckles lightening and darkening depending on how much exposure they have to the sun, but this thing changed color instantly. Is it going to get dark again? Disappear completely?
Has anyone else had this happen to them? Are there any dermatologists reading that have experience with magically disappearing moles? I'll be keeping an eye on it, for sure.

I saw Guardians of the Galaxy last week and although the movie was great, the people around me were horrible. I had to ask not one but two women to please stop using their smartphones during the film. (One of these women also basically felt up my thigh as she got out of her seat during the credits, but being groped by a stranger is a whole different kind of horrible.) While I'm glad I've conquered the social anxiety that would have once prevented me from asking a stranger to knock that shit off, I find myself genuinely clueless as to why this kind of thing happens in the first place.
It's undeniable that flashing a bright screen around a dark theatre will distract the people around you, and I assume that most people know that doing so is rude and annoying. Yet I can't remember a time in the last year what I went to a movie theatre and somebody didn't do that. All of which leaves me asking the question, why? WHY? WHY?!
I can only think of two acceptable reasons for using a smartphone during a movie:
1) If you know you might be having a family emergency. Perhaps someone close to you is gravely ill. Maybe someone is expecting a baby that could be born at any minute. In these cases I can understand why you'd want to quickly check your text messages during a show.
2) If the movie is really, really, really bad. Like 3% rating on RottenTomatoes.com bad. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation bad. So bad that tweeting or texting someone to tell them about the badness of the film is the only way for you to get any enjoyment out of the movie at all.
Other than that, why are some people incapable of putting away their phones? It concerns me, and not in a patronizing, I-feel-so-sorry-for-you kind of way, but in a genuine, you-are-interacting-with-your-phone-like-it's-an-addictive-substance-and-you-need-help kind of way. Some people can't seem to spend more than 10 or 15 minutes away from their phones, just like some people have to sneak out for a smoke break every hour or two. It reminds me of a scene from an episode of The Office (which I can't seem to find on YouTube) where Ryan is asked to hand over his phone to a bartender during a round of trivia the coworkers are about to play. Ryan isn't able to do it and just backs away, shaking his head, unable to be parted from his phone.
I understand how attached we can become to our phones. There have been two times when I thought I'd lost mine and the freak out that ensued made me realize I may as well start calling it "my precious" in a Gollum-like accent. I like my phone very, very much. I also understand the appeal of using a phone while you're doing something else. I have been known to play Candy Crush Saga as a rerun of Castle is playing on the TV. Even right now I'm not content just to be typing a blog entry, but also have Star Trek on in the background, though I have the volume off. I understand that desire to seek a bit more stimulation, to check in on what other people are doing, to not be bored (and to split infinitives).
That said, I can step away from my phone when I need to. When my mom and I were at Dollywood I went basically all day without checking Twitter or Facebook. When I was at Dollywood, I was present at Dollywood. I watched the glass makers and metal smiths and the fiddle shows, and when I came back and saw people on Twitter complaining about the iPhone interface design changes, the chatter all seemed dumb and unimportant in comparison to going out and having a new experience, even if that experience was at a place called Dollywood.
It seems like some people are losing the ability to be present at the place they are, to focus just on what is in front of them. If you're at the movie theater, be present at the movie theatre. The environment is designed to immerse you in the experience. The lights are turned off and the speakers surround you. You've paid ten dollars and left your home to be there. Why are some people not content to be there, but also must be elsewhere too?
I think this is partly a generational thing. Kids who were raised on multiple screens might not be as annoyed by this or even view it as problematic behavior as a thirty-something woman like me who remembers the days when you had to sit in a theater and do nothing while you waited for the film to start. No trivia slides. NOTHING. I occasionally brought a magazine with me if I was seeing a movie alone. Magazines do not light up in the dark.
It seems like this is not a problem that is going to go away, so I see only three possible solutions.
1) Have a smartphone section, just like we used to have a smoking section in restaurants. Instead of air pollution we'd corral light pollution. No phone calls allowed, but if you sit in the back five rows you'd be free to use your screen as much as you want.
2) Distribute blinders for patrons who don't want to be distracted by screens, like the kind put on horses during a race. If you can't see to the left or right you won't be distracted by the light of a phone. Of course you would also be much easier to mug during the film.
3) Before each movie ask everyone around you if they plan on using their smartphone during the film, and if they do then move to another seat. This one sounds like the only plan I could actually implement, and I'm seriously considering doing this from now on.
I also have some questions for my readers. No one will be taken to task or shamed for their replies. You don't even have to use your real name or email address on this one entry. Total amnesty granted.
Have any of you ever used a smartphone during a movie? If so, what were you using it for and why? Did you view it as rude behavior and if so, did you care?

Last fall the Democratic National Committee called asking me for money. They must have caught me in a good mood because I said, "Yeah, sure," and shocked the hell out of the caller who sounded notably surprised. I must have been that one person out of a hundred who didn't tell him where he could stick the Declaration of Independence. I don't donate that much money to charity or causes, but the Democrats really did me a solid when they passed the Affordable Care Act, so I figured the least I could do was send them twenty bucks.
Of course, that donation meant I was immediately put on several Democratic mailing lists. They even sent me an official membership card, which I don't think I've received for anything since I was a member of the Strawberry Shortcake fan club as a kid, and in that case the membership card was scented. I was not surprised that the Democrats had added me to their mailing list, but I am sort of surprised by how many "gifts" they keep sending me.
First there was the 2014 Commemorative Presidential Print…
..that came with a Certificate of Authenticity, as if I'd ordered something from the Franklin Mint.
Then there was a birthday card for the president, which I think I was supposed to sign and mail back with another donation, of course, like I was his grandma sending him a fiver.
They also sent me a picture of Obama and one of the dogs.
So many of these items have featured the presidential dogs, that I have to wonder if my twenty dollars secretly went to Bo and Sunny's kibble fund. It is quite possible they have their own SuperPAC. More likely it's because anyone standing next to a cute dog instantly becomes more likeable, even if you're a cat person like me.
It hasn't stopped yet either because this week I got a bumper sticker from the North Carolina Democrats, which I will not be putting on my car because I'm at an age where I care about my car's trade-in value.
All of this leaves me wondering, at what point will the Democratic party spend so much money on postage and swag that they will have actually lost money on me? My curiosity is the main reason I have not asked to be removed from any of the mailing lists. I'm waiting to see what they will send me next. If they truly knew the way to my heart they'd send me candy, maybe some blue gummi jackasses. Then I could go around telling people to bite my ass in a totally patriotic way.

I'm not sure when I entered the get-off-my-lawn stage of aging, but I'm definitely there. I've never owned a lawn, but five years ago my apartment backed up to a grassy drainage area that kids liked to play in. Loudly. While I was trying to work from my home office. It was like living on a playground. I never yelled at those kids to get off my lawn but I thought it very hard in their general direction.
Five years later and I'm sitting in my home office at 1:00am and I can hear the bass beats from the music playing in the apartment across the hall. I cannot envision an age at which I would've thought it was ok to play loud music at one o'clock in the morning on a weeknight, but maybe when you're young you're stupid like that, oblivious that other people exist and they don't want to hear your mad beatz.
All of which is to say I am now that cranky lady across the hall who left a voicemail for the rental manager complaining about your ass. It was me! I confess! And I really don't care because obviously you don't either. The funny thing is that I'm perfectly ok being that lady. I will age with grace, and part of that aging process is coming to a point where you start screaming at kids to get off your lawn without regret. I am there. I have reached that point. I just don't have a lawn.
That said, maybe I should finally get one. I like that renting gives me the freedom from a lot of responsibilities. When the air conditioning broke three times this summer I didn't have to call the AC repairman or pay him. I don't have to mow the grass or pay property taxes. I like that if I want to go when the lease runs out I just go, and I don't have to deal with selling a house. But as much as I like renting, I've realized I might hate other people more. And the only solution seems to be buying a house. Only I have no idea how much that would cost or if I have enough for a down payment or if I could even afford to buy something in the Chapel Hill area even though my credit score is CRAZY high (we're talking 800's) or if I'd end up next to a frat house, though I did live next to a frat house in Crawfordsville, Indiana when I was a kid and the Lambda Chi's were very well behaved and bought lots of girl scout cookies and held one hell of an Easter Egg hunt.
Of course, there's nothing like a subwoofer at 1:10 in the morning to get you to start Googling and at least entertain the possibility. I suppose that's the first step.

Julia Fenn
Senior Conservator, Ethnography
Area: Conservation
Phone: 416.586.5511
Julia Fenn was born in South Africa and took her BA in Archaeology at Cape Town University before moving to England where she obtained a post-graduate Diploma in Archaeological and Ethnographic Conservation at the Institute of Archaeology in London University.
Since then she has taught and practiced conservation on three continents, working in Turkey, Egypt, Israel and South Africa before settling in England at the British Museum Research Laboratory. After marrying a Canadian she came to Toronto and joined the conservation department at the Royal Ontario Museum. Her specializations include masks, leather, adhesives and historic plastics.
Life in the ROM Conservation department has always been full of challenge. A recent example is the painted fish coffin from Ghana which arrived in a broken crate with its paint not fully cured so the foam packing had smeared into the surface. It was also found to have been made from unseasoned wood infested with tropical wood borers! During nitrogen fumigation the controls broke down, moisture from the wood promoted a fine crop of mould in which hundreds of lively little insects could be seen joyfully hopping. After they were finally asphyxiated, a special tent for the coffin had to be built under an oversize extraction unit (kindly lent to us by the Palaeontology department) to prevent the mould from spreading into our air system. Then followed a nightmarish race to remove the mould before it could permanently discolour the paint while simultaneously drying the wood slowly enough to prevent more cracking and paint loss. This was done by wrapping it in layers of cotton sheeting and uncovering small areas in succession for cleaning. The fish coffin is now resting quietly on exhibition in the AAAP gallery.
