Hi Advocator. What is your treatment for your diabetes? Sometimes medication and diet can be very difficult. Especially when you have gotten used to being able to eat properly again after kidney failure. Don't be afraid of insulin. It can be a wonderful tool. Feel free to ask lots of questions.
Hi! My name is Linda and I had a kidney transplant 7/05. A few years later I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and am having a hard time bringing my numbers down. I find myself coping with the transplant easier than the diabetes. I is so good to find a group that supports both situations in one group. Thank you for having me!

Quake 2 presents something that is more than acceptable on Nintendo 64. This is a fun, engaging title, worth playing.
As a result, it was met with a critically good reception and became a renowned title amongst PC owners around the world. So come a sequel, the game improved on nearly everything the game featured. It was almost double that of the 1st Quake.
People were just wowed by how vast the changes were in the Quake series between this new game and the original legend. The story was heavily improved, the multiplayer became even more of a stand out feature, and the graphics and sound were just outstanding compared to anything else released back in 1997.
Like Quake 1, it met good reception and its warm reputation was immense, so immense that it warranted two console versions: The Playstation edition, that altered the game slightly to suit Sony's grey box. And the Nintendo 64 edition, that was almost a completely different game.
In the Nintendo 64 version, if you thought the changes were vast between Quake 1 and 2, you'll be just as surprised to see how much is actually new compared to the one we saw on PC . This Nintendo 64 version of Quake 2 has almost a completely different set of levels compared to the overwhelming PC version and while this is not the only compromise, clearly, be glad to know that Quake 2 on Nintendo 64 isn't a bad game at all.
Firstly, lets go over the visuals. They're impressive on Nintendo 64, very impressive. In this version, developers were able to produce graphics similar to the 3DFX chip in the PC. It isn't as good, some animations are removed or re-imaged on the 64, but this is heavily balanced by the varying amounts of detail on each level in the game. The environments really do look with scarred, metalic looks suiting the game's bleak, machine themes all running at a decent frame rate.
Sound is also approached significantly in this Nintendo 64 version of Quake 2. The sound effects are all intact for each gun, enemy and bleep. They're all done very enthusiastically and sound very much as how you would expect them to sound like.
The sounds also help build on the very atmospheric setting in Quake 2, this is something that is less used in the PC version. The music can be very quiet and tends to blend into the atmosphere, however can be noticeable when there is action during play.
Speaking of action, Quake 2 plays very intense as expected from the first person shooter that it is. As suspected, this delivers well to impress the gore and violence fans that grows rapidly by the day. The arsenal of weapons range from laser pistols to plasma launchers and famous Id weapons like the rocket launcher, BFG and Shotgun all make appropriate appearances.
The game is very linear, being mission based with a short load time at the beginning of each one. The missions tend to be lengthy with objectives that often need not to be noticed to understand what to do. Like other Id games also, Quake 2 on Nintendo 64 is very corridor based and does well to give gamers a claustrophobic twinge in their spine during play. This tends to work though, as it can often lead to a sudden panic or outburst from the player when their hear or see something unusual, which makes the games provocative and addictive.
Multiplayer also makes an expected appearance in Quake 2 for Nintendo 64 and it feels very standard since it lacks the advantages of PC modding and customisation. The maps also tend to be small since games only limit up to 4 players, the maximum amount of players on any Nintendo 64 console. Since the game has no access to lan, co-op or online play either it doesn't deliver what in many gamers minds are the most important features in Quake 2.
Make no mistake that Quake 2 is different on Nintendo 64 with new, exclusive enemies, levels and perhaps even story. The game does frustrate though, thanks mainly due to the very precise controls implanted into the game. Also, the developers, Raster, has inexplicably left out any check points or save points in between levels of the game which really does take a toll on the overall enjoyment from the gamer.
While the presentation isn't necessarily bad for N64, there is much to be desired in this category as far as story and cut scenes are concerned. The biggest flaw comes from that sadly this game doesn't match the quality of any other first person shooter already on N64, with games like Goldeneye, Quake, Duke Nukem 64 and Turok all being far better optimised for the Nintendo 64.
If you're still looking for a game to expand your games collection on Nintendo 64 and want to play something else after hours of play on Turok and Goldeneye, Quake 2 presents something that is more than worthy on Nintendo 64. Even with the gripes gamers will have to put up with, this is a fun, engaging title, worthy of your time.

New Synthesis and Antiparasitic Activity of Model 5-Aryl-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazoles

Abstract: A number of 5-aryl-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazoles 5a-f have been synthesized in good yields by the Suzuki coupling reaction between 5-chloro-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazole (3) and arylboronic acids 4a-f, aided by dichlorobis-(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II), K2CO3, and tetrabutylammonium bromide in water at 70-80 °C. Compounds 5a-f were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR and MS spectral data. On the basis of in vitro screening data, 5-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole (5f)exhibited potent lethal activity against Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia intestinalis with IC50 = 1.47 µM/mL, a value lower by a factor of two than that of the standard drug, metronidazole. The boosted activity of 5f was not accompanied by any increased cytotoxicity.The rest of the series also exhibited potent antiparasitic activity with IC50 valuesin the 1.72-4.43 µM/mL range. The cytotoxicity of the derivatives 5c and 5e was increased compared to the precursor compound, metronidazole, although they remain non-cytotoxic at concentrations much higher than the antiparasitic concentration of the two derivatives.

Ford Adding 2,000-Plus Jobs At Kansas City Assembly To Support Surging F-150 Demand, Ford Transit Launch
Ford Transit
The familiar van that delivers packages or shuttles airport passengers is about to change in a revolutionary way. The all-new Ford Transit will provide tradespeople and businesses with unmatched fuel economy, innovative new configurations and leading versatility in the expanding commercial vehicle market.
Transit is born from nearly a century of hard-earned experience delivering two distinct full-size vans to customers in America, Europe and other global markets. For the U.S., Transit eventually replaces E-Series, first sold in 1961 as Ford Econoline and America's best-selling commercial van for 34 years. Transit was first sold in 1965. It's the best-selling commercial van in Europe.
Customers will have more choices than ever from a Ford van. Transit will be offered in three body lengths; two wheelbases; three roof heights. Cargo volume ranges from about 250 to almost 500 cubic feet – more than twice the volume of today's standard E-Series, saving the customer fuel costs and the time and hassle of a second trip.
Designed and developed to provide efficient service over the long haul, Ford Transit will be at least 25 percent more fuel efficient than today's E-Series, helping save Transit owners thousands of dollars in fuel costs during its service life. Transit has been tested to the "Built Ford Tough" truck standards at Ford's proving grounds and in the hands of real-world fleet customers in North America.

With all the news about Democrats hacking into Sarah Palin's e-mail, dramtically skewing the voter registrations with false fraudulent registrations (dead people, felons, multiple registrations by one person) and other criminal acts, now the only polling company which actually does an objective poll -- Zogby -- apparently has been attacked. No data is going in or coming out of zogby.com It is completely locked and frozen. If this proves to be yet another left-wing attempt to steal this election, there is going to be serious trouble in America. Americans are a tolerant nation but when the fraud, tampering, and obvious attempts to steal an election that would make America a one-party nation -- controlling the WH, the Congress, and the Courts -- only bad things can be expected. If the Dems don't cease with their all-out assault on the Constitution and the rights of Americans to have an honest election, there will certainly be repercussions, possibly larger than ever anticipated. //
And you know it was a left wing attack how?? Need to provide more credible info than this.. it has 0 veracity and negative value.
If you google "Zogby Hacked" nothing comes up.. need I say more???? but not sure why it is considered as the only poll that does an "objective job"??? did someone say this.. or is this another myth???
[size=+4]"For some people only if Bill Clinton were caught red-handed with either a dead girl or a live boy would he not be electable."[/size] [size=+2] -- Paul Harvey[/size] http://www.bpmdeejays.com/upload/hs_sal_in_Harlem_100108.mp3 "It is what it is." -- Bill Belichick //
Foggy hasn't even established that it wasn't some IT guy at Zogby spilling a Red Bull on the server yet.
And if that proves the case, I'll offer a full apology. Until then, we have at least one case -- probably more -- of a Democrat Congressman's son hacking into Sarah Palin's e-mail account. With that smirk on his face when he was caught, depending on the judge and jury, he might be looking at the maximum sentence. //
Once OBAMA gets in, expect worse then this for YEARS to come. You'll be able to stroll into the polling place, without ID, register and vote in a 10 minute process and then stroll to the next place..... Rinse and repete.
But ONLY if you vote Democrat. See Zimbabwe today, right now. Mugabe lost the last election, used his police powers to put his opposition into jail, intimidated opposition supporters through killings, assaults, people hacked to pieces and burned alive. A nightmare of hell on earth. To add even more insult to injury, Zimbabwe -- when it was called "Rhodesia" -- had the BEST economy in all of Africa. Then the left wing Mugabe thugs got "elected", took full control over everything, stole the successful farms and businesses from the white owners, and now those farms and businesses have all gone into bankruptsy, total failures. But Mugabe and the black thugs are the owners!!! Oh, and their inflation rate is a mind-boggling 1,000,000% !!! No misprint/typo: one million per cent is their inflation rate. Of course, Barack Obama is so much "smarter" than to let that happen. He'll be able to control Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, the ACORN crowd, and all the rest of his left-wing power-lusting people. God, forbid it. //
When does a son become his own entity. When does a politicians son become a separate entity?? When did George Bush become a man, and not his father's son.. to associate the hacking of Palin's email has less to do with partisan politics and more to do with some form of risky behavior.. Before you condemn the judge, you need to know the charge and sentencing guidelines if found guilty... There is no information that Zogby has been hacked, apologies are in order..
As I said, if the Dems were not responsible for this take-down of Zogby I will take back what I said, but given that one son of a Democrat Congressman already was caught red-handed committing a felony by hacking Sarah Palin's e-mail, I stand by my guess that this is yet another attempt by crooked Democrats to steal this election. Prove me wrong. //
Well, Zogby is back online. No explanation as to what happened. Stay tuned. Drudge would probably catch this first. Btw, Zogby has Obama at 48.3%, McCain at 44.4%. 3.9% spread. Very interesting. With all the reasons why the entire universe might be inclined to back Obama-man, he obviously has many questioners. But raising that on this site is a waste of time. Nobody listens to the questions about Ayers, Dohrn, Wright, the CRA, ACORN, registering dead people and convicted felons. Nah. Nobody is interested in that kind of stuff.... nobody wants to know.

Robert A. Heinlein is widely and justly regarded as the greatest practitioner of the art of science fiction who has ever lived. Here are two of his greatest short novels:
Gulf, in which the greatest super-spy of them all is revealed as the leader of a league of supermen and women who can't quite decide what to do with the rest of us. And Lost Legacy, in which it is proved that we are all members of that league - or would be, if we but had eyes to see.
This collection also contains two great stories, a pair of the master's finest: one on the nature of being, the other on what it means to be a man.
©1981 Robert A. Heinlein (P)2012 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"The word that comes to mind for him is essential. As a writer - eloquent, impassioned, technically innovative - he reshaped science fiction in a way that defined it for every writer who followed him.... He was the most significant science fiction writer since H. G. Wells." (Robert Silverberg)
"He made footsteps big enough for a whole country to follow.... We proceed down a path marked by his ideas. He showed us where the future is." (Tom Clancy)
Did you know you can put in a set of Ear-Buds, slap your Hearing Protectors over them, and Mow the lawn, Weed-Eat, etc, without your book being drowned out by engine noise? I recently listened to "Augustus" while wandering through the Roman Forum. I'm on my third set of "Sleep-Phones". I've been addicted to audible since 2004... I think my friends are starting to suspect I have a problem ;)
"You'll like it because you can think..."
This is classic Heinlein, spinning one of his classic story-lines...
Heinlein believed that people who read Sci-Fi are a bit more intelligent than the average member of society. He was not a fan of "Readability Formulas" that suggested authors write at a grade level no higher than 7.81 so that the average person could keep up with the information being presented; Rather his opinion seemed to be that if a person is presented with information written at a higher level, they would naturally learn to comprehend at a higher level if that information was presented in such a way as to make the reader WANT to understand it.
Heinlein motivated people to become smarter by writing enjoyable Science Fiction that was not only fun to read, but was also designed to help the reader become more imaginative and well rounded in a variety of subjects. Heinlein didn't just write to provide the reader with a little escapism, he wrote to "teach". He frequently motivated readers by making them feel as if they were a part of a secret club, open only to the more intelligent... "Someone that could think, and therefore learn to think even better". He tried to make the reader feel just a little "special".
The above is also pretty much the basis for his book "Assignment in Eternity". The book starts out as light Sci-Fi, but gradually becomes more in-depth so that the smarter the reader is, the more enjoyment they get from nuances and lessons buried in the story.
"Intelligence" aside, it's a fun read, even if a bit dated (although being a little dated doesn't detract from the story-line)... It's well worth the credit... Besides, who doesn't like being in a secret club? ;)
"Love Heinlein, and now Pinchot"
This book has 3 fun and thought provoking stories that move quickly. Bronson Pinchot does a great job (I also love his Bronson Pinchot Project) bringing the characters to life.
Fanatical Endurance Athlete, who listens to a lot of books while training.
"A series of short stories to make you think"
I loved tho book, but then I love all Heinlein's work. He has a great style and the issues he addressed in the past still remain.
Its hard to come up with a favourite character as there are so many.
NO, but this book is a series of short stories and I didn't want to get up to leave until each story was completed.
Its surprising that a book written so long ago has so many themes that are relevant in current society.
"Classic Science Fiction"
This collection of short stories still plays well 60 years after it first hit the shelves. While delivering a look into some of the attitudes and morality from the 1950s, we can see that people have not changed all that much through the passage of time. This one made the miles go by quickly.
"For Heinlein Fans Only"
These are four short tales by Science Fiction Grand Master Robert Heinlein. They all date to early on in his career and do not represent his best work. Jerry Was a Man is perhaps the best story in this collection and, unfortunately, the shorted. It's a satire having to do with genetically altered animals which are exploited as expendable laborers or -- as is the case with an intelligent miniature elephant -- custom-made pets for rich people. The narration is OK, but doesn't add any excitement to the tales. If you have never read any Heinlein, I would recommend The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Double Star or Starship Troopers. Those are much better books and represent the Grand Master at his finest.
I will listen to NO boring book. Old Fav's,Card, King , Hobb. New Fav's, Hill, Scalzi, Sawyer, Interested in Lansdale, Crouch, Konrath
The first time I tried listening to this I did not realize it was four short stories. The first story Gulf, is pretty long and pretty silly. I listened for two hours and deleted it from my player. Later, I found out it was four stories, so I started over. I tried again for over two hours on the first story and ended up skipping to the next story.
This story is better, but not by much. This involves time travel to alternate earths and the different concepts on different societies is interesting. The moral of the story seems to be that you have to believe.
I liked this story, and it seemed to be quite deep. It also seemed a bit liberal for Heinlein, a lot different from the man who wrote Starship Troopers. This group of people try to change the world to make it more peaceful. They use telepathy, immortal god like people and the Boys Scouts. I thought it would make a great comic book.
Jerry Was A Man
This story was excellent. It was a sort of satire on Intelligence, slavery and what it means to be human. It may have been one of the best things I have ever read from RAH.
I am not crazy about the narrator, nothing I can but my finger on, and not bad enough to keep me from enjoying the book, he just ain't my favorite.
"Must have for any Heinlein Fan."
Heinlein Early Years
The roots to many later novels by the grandmaster. You can see the development of the concepts that run through many of his later works.
Awesome Characterization!! I had already feel in love with his narration of Glory Road!! I loved the life he gave to many old favorite characters.
I doubt that Hollywood will touch any of these stories as is. Look what they did to Starship Troops and Puppet Masters.
I keep hoping that Expanded Universe would be converted to Audio. This was a good additional to the audio library of Heinlein work.
Have been an avid reader all my life. Started with comic books and had read all Shakespeare's plays & most sonnets by 10th grade. Average reading or listening to a new book ever 2 or 3 days.
Flesh out stories more. Not so much preaching
No. Not a good read/listen
Won't happen!
Have been reading Heinlein all my adult life (over 40 years) and this is about the worst story that I have read by him.
I was really excited when I saw a Heinlein story that I had never heard of or read. The experience was very disappointing.
While this was written in the early years it just did not measure up to other stories from that time frame.
"Enjoyed the first story..."
I enjoyed the first story, but could not get into the second one. I'll probably have another go at it one day, but I have too many books lined up right now.
"Best up front then downhill"
The first story was the best and typical of Heinlein. Faced paced and action packed. The remaining were more reminiscent of early Heinlein.
Larry Niven, "Flatlander"
Bronson Pinchot's performance was simply brilliant. He changes easily from character o character.
First Novella made it worthwhile.

How to Understand Exposure and Take Better Photos
Why You Should Understand Exposure
Simply put: a photo is an exposure and the more you understand about exposure, the better your photos will be. Once you start to grasp exactly what aperture, shutter speed and ISO does to a photo, you'll know how to use them correctly and creatively. This posts covers how to create the right exposure for a situation, as well as the negative consequences of each exposure factor. There are also links to read up in much more detail.
How an Exposure is Produced
There are 3 factors that combine to produce an exposure, and each of these factors carry a potential problem at the same time:
Firstly, the light passes through the aperture which determines how much light comes in.
Secondly, the shutter goes up to allow light onto the sensor/film.
Finally, the ISO determines how much to increase the exposure by.
I've written posts on all three of these factors that can be viewed by clicking on them, but here's some information to give you a basic understanding of what else they do:
The aperture affects the depth of field.
The shutter speed determines whether there's motion blur or freezing.
ISO produces digital noise/grain and in turn, affects the quality of the image.
All of this combines to produce an exposure like the one below. The aperture is f/2.8 resulting in the shallow depth of field and soft feel to the photo, the shutter speed is 1/100 of a second, meaning that I could take the photo comfortably without motion blue, and the ISO is only 100 which has resulted in very little noise.
Getting the Correct Exposure Using Different Modes
Every modern camera will have 1 or more light meter built into it and will be displayed on the screen something like the image on the right.
Different modes use this meter to automatically create the correct exposure; when the 'needle' is in the centre, the photo will be exposed correctly.
Priority Modes
Aperture Priority will hold the needle in the centre (unless you've moved it manually) and as the aperture changes to allow more light in, the shutter speed will also change to allow less light in to maintain an even exposure. The shutter priority mode will do the same thing, only the other way round; the shutter speed is changed, the aperture will change accordingly and automatically.
Manual Mode
Manual mode allows you to change both aperture and shutter speed at the same time and not conform to a certain point on a light reader. This mode is mostly used by more experienced photographers who want the extra control over a photo and know what settings to use off the top of their heads. The light reader will still move to indicate how exposed a photo will be, helping the photographer.
Different Exposure Conditions
Daylight: This photo has excellent lighting conditions so you can use fast settings on your camera. The photo below was taken at 1/250 of a second, an aperture of f/14 and ISO 100.
Night: Photos of scenes at night are best taken using a tripod, that way you can create long exposures and play with the light without producing a blur. This photo below was taken using a 30 second exposure, a wide aperture of f/4.5 and an ISO of 400.
indoors: I regularly use a flash indoors and bounce it off a wall or a ceiling to create a more natural effect. The settings used below were 1/50 of a second, f/7.1 and ISO400 with a flash bouncing of the ceiling.
Event: Due to the lighting conditions at an event, and the fact that you're often not allowed to use a flash, you often have to boost your ISO. Also, artist on stage tend to move around quite fast so you have to use a fast shutter speed as well. This results in a wide aperture with a narrow depth of field, a high ISO, and some pretty cool lighting conditions like the photo below; taken at 1/160, f/2.8 and ISO1600.

93 points from Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Glass-staining ruby. Suave, mineral-driven scents of cherry-cola, blackcurrant, incense and fresh flowers, with a strong undercurrent of minerals. Spicy, finely etched dark berry and cherry skin flavors stain the palate, with dusty tannins lending support and slow-mounting minerality adding vivacity. Impressively precise syrah with excellent finishing cut and persistence." (May/Jun '09)

No. 2 in Directors' Cup
Bruce Wald, Information Writer
Posted on June 28, 2010
good times continue to roll for Cal U's athletic programs. After
a successful spring sports season highlighted by an NCAA Regional championship
in women's tennis, the Vulcans finished second in the final standings of the
2009-2010 Learfield Sports Directors' Cup. This
is the highest finish ever by a school in the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference (PSAC). Announced
through the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, the
Director's Cup annually honors institutions maintaining a broad-based program
in both men's and women's sports. The
scoring system is based on the national finishes of seven men's and seven
women's sports teams. In
all, Cal U won NCAA Regional championships this past athletic year in football,
women's volleyball, women's soccer and women's tennis. Other teams competing in
NCAA post-season tournaments were women's basketball, baseball, softball,
women's swimming and both the men's and women's golf and track and field teams. Grand
Valley State (Mich.) earned top honors for the seventh consecutive year with
1021.50 total points, while Cal finished with 703.00. Rounding out the top five
were Central Missouri (672.50), Minnesota State-Mankato (660.50), and St. Cloud
(Minn.) State University (643.50). In
2008-2009, the Vulcans placed ninth in the final Learfield standings for NCAA
Division II. "This
is a tremendous accomplishment that really reflects on the quality of our
student-athletes and coaches that we have here," said Cal U athletic director
Dr. Tom Pucci. "This is a direct reflection on the leadership of President
Angelo Armenti, Jr. and his support of our athletic program."

Viewing Comet Lovejoy January 8, 2015
Posted by aquillam in Astronomy, MichiganAstro, Urban Observing.Tags: astrophotography, comet, MichiganAstro, urban observing
add a comment
Comet Lovejoy, C/2014 Q2 is about 4th magnitude right now. if your observing sight is dark, it's easily naked eye. Urban observers aren't so lucky, but it's bright enough to be picked by a camera!
You'll need a camera you can set the exposure and focus on (some smart phone apps will do that.) I strongly recommend a tripod since you'll need an exposure of a few seconds.
Focus first on Jupiter: it's bright enough to see through your viewfinder, and rises by the time the sky is dark enough to see the comet.
Once you've got a good focus, point your camera so Orion is on the left side of your view, and Taurus at the top middle. As it gets latter in the month, adjust the position so Taurus is on the left, and Orion is out of the view. Check the maps on the Sky & Telescope website for a more precise location.
Take exposures ranging from about half a second to about 15 seconds – the longer your exposure, the better the comet will look, but too long and the sky brightness may wash out everything. You should have a very wide field image.
Once back inside, you can zoom in and crop to get a better composed picture.
Of course, if your skies are this bad, adding a little guidance might help.
Ok, you're unimpressed. I can tell. But consider how bright those trees are. And, it was so cold my camera stopped working. Hey, if you think you can do better, prove it! Share your photos!

Special events
What better way to start a year then with a comet. Already a naked-eye object at the end of December, comet Lovejoy should brighten more during January, making it a good binocular target for urban skies. It starts the month in the constellation Lepus, just below Orion's feet. It then travels up past Orion, through Taurus, Aries and Triangulum. On Feb 2, you'll find it next to Almach, the foot of Andromeda. Look for it especially January 13-20, when you'll have less interference from the waning moon, and the comet should be at its brightest. Also, it's not too far from the Pleiades on those days. There's a great map, not to mention an article with some spectacular pictures, on the Sky and Telescope website.
Some of you will enjoy knowing that perihelion, Earth's closest position to the Sun, occurs on January 4 this year. Some of you will, of course, be confused because January is the coldest part of winter here in the northern hemisphere. Just remember, it's the tilt and whoever gets more sunlight, not the distance that counts. After all, it's summer down south right now!
Meteor showers
The year kicks off with what could be one of the best meteor showers of the year. Unfortunately, the Quadrantids have a very short peak, and the weather in the northern hemisphere at this time of year tends to be terrible for observing. Also, a gibbous Moon interferes this year. Still, with a typical rate of 25 meteors per hour bright enough to see in the glare of the full moon, and a high number of fireballs, this shower is worth a look even for urban observers. The peak should occur at 2:00 UT on January 4, which is 10 PM on January 3 in the eastern standard time zone. The radiant doesn't rise until 11 PM, but early observers might get the chance to see a few meteors shooting up from the northern horizon.
There are a large number of radiants located along the ecliptic from Cancer to Virgo. While none of these is sufficiently active to generate a shower, the overall meteor activity at this time of year is increased. If you have insomnia, or work third shift, this is a good time of year to go out on any clear night between midnight and dawn and look up. For details on a week by week basis, be sure to check out the American meteor Society website: http://www.amsmeteors.org/category/meteor-showers/

New: Jan 20
Mercury and Venus peek out of the sunset twilight together at the start of the month. Mercury reaches greatest eastern elongation on January 14. Being mid-month, you might think that means it'll be visible in the evening all month, but as it heads back toward conjunction and away from Venus, its apparent motion speeds up, and it vanishes into the glare of the Sun around the 25th. The two planets are less than a degree apart on January 11. A day old young Moon joins the pair on January 21, but it will be difficult to spot even with a telescope. Venus meanwhile heads toward an early February conjunction with Neptune.
Mars continues its slow progress toward conjunction in late spring. It passes slowly through Capricorn and Aquarius this month. Look for it within 2 hours of sunset. It passes less than a degree from Neptune on the 19th, and there's a good binocular conjunction of Mars, Neptune and a young Moon on the 22.
Jupiter is well up by 10 PM this month. It is in retrograde right now, so look for it between Leo and Cancer, headed slowly closer to Cancer. There is a nice conjunction with the gibbous moon on the 7th.
Saturn is the gem of the dawn skies this month. Between Libra and Scorpio, it is best viewed around 7 AM at the beginning of the month, and around 6 AM at the end. There should be a stunning grouping of Saturn, Scorpio's claws, and a waning crescent moon on the morning of January 16.
Deep sky Objects
Early sunsets and clear, dry air make January one of the best months for deep sky observing with a small telescope. Of course, you should definitely bundle up!
The Orion nebula, or M42, is one of the nicest objects. Binoculars are enough to show a hint of fuzz and the cluster of the stars. A small telescope resolves the 4 young type O stars at the core even in very bad skies.
January is a good time to catch the Beehive cluster, or M44, in Cancer. A naked eye object in dark skies, it shows up nicely in binoculars or a small telescope even in badly light polluted skies. Find it by about half way between Castor and Regulus.
The early sunset also means you can still catch the Andromeda galaxy, M31 around 9 pm.
While you're in that area,be sure to look for the Blue Snowball planetary nebula, NGC 7662. A nebula, sky, or O2 filter help a lot with this in light polluted skies.

An email from Spaceweather.com let me know that an increase in solar activity has led to an increased chance of aurora later this weekend or early next week. This led me to a search for better data on aurora predictions. This NOAA dashboard might be overkill for some, but I'm geeked by finding it!
Urban observing December 2014 part 2 December 15, 2014
Posted by aquillam in Astronomy.add a comment
Well, it took a bit longer than I could wish, But here's part two. At least I didn't miss what is probably the biggest event of the month…
Of course then I apparently published this as a page instead of a post. Someday I'll get my act together!
Special Events
The biggest event for December is probably the Geminid meteor shower. With a potential for over 100 meteors per hour, this is the most active shower of the year. Meteors are also slow-moving, making this a good shower to watch with friends. While the peak occurs overnight on the 13th to 14th of December, it is active at least a week before and after, giving observers several chances to get out and look. Given what the weather in the Northern Hemisphere is generally like at this time of year, that's a huge advantage. Gemini rises before 7 p.m., but should be at its highest around 1 or 2 AM, making the early morning hours the best time to watch.
Northern observers should also be on the lookout for the Ursid meteor shower from December 17-23. The peak occurs on the night of December 21-22. However, it is a much less active shower, with typical rates of only 5 to 10 meteors per hour. It is best viewed when the Big Dipper is very high in the sky, which is a few hours before dawn at this time of year, roughly 4 – 6 AM.
The winter solstice of course also occurs in December. This year it falls on December 21, at 6:03 PM Eastern Standard Time, or 23:03 UT.
Full on 12/6
New: 12/21
A new moon on the 21st means you'll have a perfect waxing crescent to try out that new telescope on, which will quickly set and let you look at deep sky objects too!
Mercury was in superior conjunction on the 8th, So we won't really see it this month. With a clear Southwest horizon, you might catch it in the last few days of the month.
Venus makes its way slowly into the evening skies this month. Start looking for it just after sunset around the 13th. It becomes an easier target at the end of the month. Use binoculars to look for a conjunction with young Crescent moon early in the evening on the 22nd.
The ever-lengthening nights mean that Mars continues to hang out low in the southwest all month. However, as it recedes ever further from us, it gets dimmer and harder to make out any features, even with a good telescope. A crescent moon passes by it on the 24th.
At mid-month, Jupiter rises around 10 PM. By the end of the month, he'll be up before 9PM. It's a great target to try out a new telescope on since it is bright and easy to find, but the belts take good contrast to make out easily. Use the sky and telescope out to figure out if the great red Spot should be visible.
Saturn is in the morning sky now. The late dawn means you should look for it around 6 or 7 AM. A waning crescent moon pales close to it on the 19th.
Uranus is about 3º north east of a quarter Moon on the evening of the 28th, making that a good time try spot this faint planet.
