Joop Homme - fabulous scent.
While Azzaro's Chrome and Pure Vetiver aren't quite as reviled as Joop Homme, they're certainly much disliked here, but I think they're fabulous.
The recent post about frags that are beloved by many BNers but that you don't like made me think that the opposite thread would be just as interesting. I'll start with One Man Show by Bogart. This is no award winner, but it's a creamy (not in a gourmand way) leather-like and incense frag that's certainly decent and may be worth a spot in a large rotation. Same goes for Quorom. Of course, it may be that many BNers are used to spraying at least 5 times per wearing, and that is not something I would do with these two frags. So why do I like them? They are different and do keep me involved (don't become boring). I won't say that either is full bottle worthy to me; I haven't decided yet. On the other hand, I really disliked Jacomo de Jacomo, because the powerful clove singularity doesn't let up for too long, and by that time I've had enough and am not interested in whatever remains.

Porsche Design The Essence: hated by plenty....in my mind, this was the BEST new fragrance of 2008 by a huuuuuuuuuge margin! oh well. your loss!
Boss In Motion. Many here say it smells like orange creamsicle, and it very well may with how much BNers like to spray! Twice is plenty for any frag I've ever come across.
My limited 'drobe: Boss In Motion, Armani Code, Concentre d'Orange Verte, Paul Smith Story.
Oh, forgot to mention. By coincidence, I wore M7 Fresh one day then Dior's Higher the next. I found the drydowns similar, but I liked Higher better (more going on with the pear and wood). Both had a kind of watery quality that I'm not used to but the herbal elements saved the day in both cases (talking about the drydown). Now I wonder why M7 Fresh has been much better received on BN than Higher. Could it be that it's an M7 flanker (and perhaps that Higher is a rather presumptuous name). Also, consistent with what Renato said, I liked Joop!, but since I have some similar frags, I never got a bottle of it.

I really like Polo Black, which is reviled by many here. Why? Because it smells good! I just wish I could find it at a substantial discount from its normal selling price, but Ill probably end up buying a bottle anyway regardless.

When I posted that Fleur du Male is a ***** scent, it created a bit of contoversy.
Varvatos Vintage has received bad ratings for what it is.
Duro gets trashed more than what I would imagine.
Shameless Plug: Sales thread with Roses Musk, Rose Poivree, and others.
Looking for lot of samples of female fragrances.
CologneJunkie is going to see this thread--and she likes Keneth Cole Reaction! Gasp! (We all like that scent now too, since she's a mod and all.)
Bigsly, I agree with you on three counts: One Man Show, Quorum, and Dior's Higher. I like 'em all. Great stuff, especially Quorum. I smell it and really have a hard time understanding how anyone could dislike it.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
I absolutely love Versace's newest, Versace PH. Yes it's fairly simple, yes it's built on a common modern aquatic structure, but none of that matters because it's done so well. The transitions between top/heart/base are seamless and flawless. Longevity is great. It never ever smells sour or gets any off notes, and it's blended with finesse (the aquatic note is kept well in check, the sage of the heart blends effortlessly with a light and dry oud note, the cedar is kept way in the background, etc).
It's a tart rather than sweet freshness, and to me it really does evoke images of the mediterranean as well as white water. When sprayed on forearms or exposed skin the clarity of the drydown is amazing to me, as the dry oud note mixes with a more bitter than we're used to (especially compared to creeds) labdanum/ambergris note, with just a hint of tonka in the background to prevent it from getting sour, but not enough to carry it into the sweet territory. An excellent excellent fresh/summer scent that perfectly straddles the casual/formal line, as well as the heavy/light line.

Acqua di Giò pour Homme.
There's a reason this is the #1 seller - it's very good.
Fresh and long lasting.
Buzzley - if you want Polo Black or Double Black, check out my sale thread (hint hint).
I happen to like Allure Homme Sport, Azzaro Pure Lavender, and A*Men on the designer side. Although not discussed often, I like some fragrances that have been panned in the reviews, like ELO's Vraie Blonde, Malle's Angelique Sue La Pluie, and Montale's Chypre Vanille (which no one's ever mentioned as far as I remember)
I like Guerlain Homme
I also like SL 5 o'clock ..... and Louve
Cruel Intentions
Piment Brulant
I happen to find the mucho trashed Vierges et Toreros by Etat Libre to be quite amazing, but I think the Rod Stewart album Foolish Behavior is as good as Every Picture Tells a Story.
CdG Anbar - most people find it smells like cleaning fluid. I think it's an eau de cologne style fragrance with a nice warm touch.
Parfumerie Generale Bois Blond - it's been called everything from dead fish and bug spray on one hand, to a sweet, bland amber on another. I love it. It's the scent of dry grass in summer. Sadly, I've become allergic to it and have to trade it away.
I like Laura Biagotti's Acqua di Roma and the generally detested Warm Cotton by Clean...
Too many to list, see my wardrobe.
Why? Because I have such an excellent taste.

On the other side of the BN Popularity fence, I do NOT care for L'Anarchiste.
Fleur du Male
Why? Because I like the way they smell.

I'm with Ruggles - ELO's Vierges et Toreros is good stuff, and to Galamb - Bois Blond does have it's fans amongst the PG faithful.
Another vote for Versace pour Homme... does that mean it's liked enough to not be hated by most?
I like my fresh, aquatics! Acqua di Gio's on my list of ones I like.
Deseo for Men another fresh and woody one.
And I like lots of woody-amber based designer scents like Explorer and 1881 Amber.
Lacoste Essential has ho-hum reviews, some say it's boring, undetectable etc. But I love the stuff. It smells great on me, and just like they advertise, the top notes will reappear when your body heats up.
I like Explorer too but I wish the initial burst stayed longer for me.

I really like Polo Explorer despite the all the hate it gets around here.
I also really like Kenneth Cole Reaction, sure it doesn't last long...but neither does Eau d'Orange Vert, and I think Reaction is a better, much more modern version of a cologne.
Throw Fleur du Male in also.

Wow, surprised to see Versace PH getting so much love 'round these parts.
Another one for me is Grain de Plaisir. It can be a bit moody at times in the drydown, sometimes getting a bit sour, but when it wants to behave it's amazing and a great great summer scent. Starts out fresh and lemony and progresses into a warm and nutty heart with a hint of celery and then a raw oakmoss overload in the base. I've found that I only enjoy it in the summer though.

I always rather liked the hugely detested Joop! Homme. It's not a top favourite of mine by any means but I like the "unusual-ness" of it - no other frag that I know of smells even remotely like it and I don't think it's unpleasant.
Azzaro Pure Vetiver - It seems to be disliked because it has "vetiver" in it's name and it doesn't have much vetiver. But as a fresh, warm weather scent it's quite nice. Would it be better liked if it was named something else?
Guerlain Homme - not very exciting or origianl, but still quite nice. If it was released by another House, it would be better received, I think.
I really like Guerlain Homme.

Polo (", but only if it's not poured on.)
The Dreamer (Scads of nice comments.)
Lagerfeld Classic (", especially from my baby sister.)
I am -- as most if not all of you already know by now -- an incorrigible and unrepentant compliment whore.
(Yours Truly would likely wear dog shit and rose petals in garlands around my neck if only said combo somehow managed to garner him bucketloads of compliments.)
When I was in high school, I actually wore nothing but Avon Black Suede for a while (even though I didn't like it) simply because it managed to get me SO many compliments. (And these from girls and women, no less -- and, hey, I'm gay!) I would likely wear a fragrance even if the only people who had complimented me on it had been Idi Amin, the local bag lady who wears tin foil on her head to keep out Martian signals, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The only one I wouldn't wear, no matter what? A*men, and this only because it quite literally makes me physically ill.

Oh yeah, KC Reaction gets another vote from me. Terrible, terrible longevity but horray! for the scent.
Kouros comes to mind immediately, followed by Ciel and Une Fleur de Cassie (both of which might be more polarizing than "hated").
RL Polo Black;because I like it;made for the younger crowd they say;thats true because i am just 53 at the moment.
Cerutti PH 2007; because I love it,nobody ever wrote anything about it while its very special.
Another from me is Davidoff Adventure. Love the sesame note and the evolution in this one. Longevity on me is great although it does stay fairly close to the skin.

It's very trendy to bash anything that's become too popular. But hey, if it smells good, it smells good. So in that category, for me the ones that jump out are:
L'Eau d'Issey (how anyone cannot be enraptured by this glorious thing is beyond me!)
Another... Guerlain Homme. Why is it held in deep suspicion by so many? Because it doesn't smell like Mitsouko? The only thing I don't like about it is the totally unimaginative, boring, scandalous NAME. If another designer/perfume house brings out a "homme" or "for Man" or anything based around "Man", "Men", "Homme" or "Uomo" or any variation on that in any language, I will boycott it!
OH! CK Crave. Its worst sin was its bottle. People talk about it as the worst scent ever while in reality is a fruity scent with some very elegant and well balanced woods. It has a very nice evolution.
Shameless Plug: Sales thread with Roses Musk, Rose Poivree, and others.
Looking for lot of samples of female fragrances.
I'm another member of the Givenchy Pi fan club.
I have always liked it and continue to like it.
The other one I wear that doesn't seem to get much love is Carthusia Uomo.
It is my favorite rosewood scent and it always smells wonderful on me.

One straight gal we know told my partner (with a grin, of course) that whenever he wears Pi she wants (!!!) to lick him.

While I've never owned Le Male, I've never hated it as much as most folks here do... I also like Vetiver Extreme more than any other Guerlain Vetiver. I used to own Pi back in the day, so I don't have bad things to say about it...
KC Reaction - sure it doesn't last long, and neither do a bunch of others
Tommy Bahama St. Barts - tropical fruit - what's not to like? Sir Slarty must have had a bad batch.
Davidoff Good Life - one of the best subtle green frags
Gendarme Sky - after reading the reviews I was worried I wouldn't like it (blind buy as usual). But oh yeah, I do.
Sean john Unforgivable Multi-Platinum - one of the best for sure, and I don't give a damn if anybody thinks it's a rip-off.
Why? Cause I'm different.

My top secret guilty scent (because it didn't get much love here) is Hugo Energise.
I like very much the lovely whiff of coconut coming out of the bottle (I wonder why it is not mentioned in the note pyramid?). A great scent for a humid country like mine.
Even if it is my SOTD, you won't see me mentioning it here.

YSL L'Homme..... and I'll just duck any chairs flying at me now!
Chrome catches alot of hatred, and while I don't own or wear it, I like it.
I think of it as a more masculine Silver Mountain water. They both share a very long-lasting synthetic heart note, that is sharp, clean, cold and metallic. SMW, for me, ruins this note by adding very shrill, b!tchy feminine notes, and this defeats any good they did with the gris and black currant, which mellow and smooth the clean cold metallic "fresh note" it shares with Chrome.
2 more well-hated frags I like are Polo Sport & Cool Water. Although newer formulations of Polo Sport have seemingly none of the effervescent mintiness I really like, and new Cool Water has far too much lavender, my older stock bottles I really like.
And Sean John Unforgivable Multi-Platinum is better than Wall Street, imho.

Hmm, my impression from reading the review page of YSL L'Homme is that many thought it was a cheap generic sell out from a Great house, thus my impression was also that people hated it (at least from an aesthetic perspective).

Black XS pour Homme catches quite a bit of flak over here, but I like it because it has character even though it smells innocent, young and fruity, and for me it's devoid of any negative associations. Very easy to wear.
I'm sure if I started posting here, I could fill up the topic. I guess I'm easy to please fragrance-wise.

Unseen Academicals
Unseen Academicals (Hardcover)
The wizards at Ankh-Morpork's Unseen University are renowned for many things—wisdom, magic, and their love of teatime—but athletics is most assuredly not on the list. And so when Lord Ventinari, the city's benevolent tyrant, strongly suggests to Archchancellor Mustrum Ridcully that the university revive an erstwhile tradition and once again put forth a football team composed of faculty, students, and staff, the wizards of UU find themselves in a quandary. To begin with, they have to figure out just what it is that makes this sport—soccer with a bit of rugby thrown in—so popular with Ankh-Morporkians of all ages and social strata. Then they have to learn how to play it. Oh, and on top of that, they must win a football match without using magic.
Meanwhile, Trev (a handsome street urchin and a right good kicker) falls hard for kitchen maid Juliet (beautiful, dim, and perhaps the greatest fashion model there ever was), and Juliet's best pal, UU night cook Glenda (homely, sensible, and a baker of jolly good pies) befriends the mysterious Mr. Nutt (about whom no one knows very much, including Mr. Nutt, which is worrisome . . .). As the big match approaches, these four lives are entangled and changed forever. Because the thing about football—the most important thing about football—is that it is never just about football.
About the Author
Sir Terry Pratchett's many honors include the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, a Printz Honor, the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, Britain's Carnegie Medal, the American Library Association's Margaret A. Edwards Award for lasting contribution to young adult literature, and the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award. His books have sold more than 75 million copies worldwide. Knighted for his "services to literature," Sir Terry lives in England with his wife and many cats.
Praise for Unseen Academicals…
"In short, this is as busy and as daft as any other Discworld yarn, which means it is the quintessence of daft. Nobody writes fantasy funnier than Pratchett."
"At its heart, this is an intelligent, cheeky love letter to football, its fans and the unifying power of sports.
-Publishers Weekly
"This account of Unseen University's entry into the world of soccer (or, as they occasionally call it, "foot-the-ball") pushes past the usual conventions of satire to offer equal parts absurdist philosophy and heartwarming romance....A witty addition to the long-running fantasy series"

Help Us "Ban Bossy"
When a little boy asserts himself, he is called a leader.
When a little girl asserts herself, she is called "bossy."
Starting at a surprisingly young age, cultural gender expectations discourage girls from leadership. When a young girl asserts herself in the manner expected of boys, she risks being branded bossy—a precursor to other offensive and dismissive descriptors such as "aggressive," "angry" and "overly ambitious."
Research on girls and leadership is devastatingly clear. According to a study the Girl Scouts Research Institute (GSRI) conducted, by middle school girls are less interested in leadership roles than boys because they fear being disliked. Indeed, 53% of Girl Scouts have been called bossy at least once, and teachers are more likely to ask a Girl Scout to lead at school because of her well-developed leadership skills.
"Girls are twice as likely as boys to avoid leadership roles for fear of being deemed 'bossy' by their peers," explains Anna Maria Chávez, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA). "At Girl Scouts, we want to bring adults and girls together to empower them as our next generation of leaders."
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO, author of Lean In, and founder of LeanIn.org, believes we should encourage girls to "lean in" and let their voices be heard. "We need to recognize the ways we systematically discourage leadership in girls from a young age—and instead, we need to encourage them [to lead]," Sandberg explains.

How to Deal With Nuisance Neighbors
No-fail strategies for handling eight types of annoying Joneses.
Inconsiderate Behavior
The Careless Dog Owner
Lets her pooch out to prowl freely―and dig up your lawn, howl at the moon, and sift through your trash.
How to deal: Skip the blame game, says Stephanie Shain, director of outreach programs for companion animals at the Humane Society of the United States, in Washington, D.C. "Your neighbor will probably feel embarrassed and defensive, so be honest," she says. "Let her know this is uncomfortable for you to bring up, too." Focus on the animal's behavior―not the owner's. Explain that you're concerned about the dog's welfare and that you want a peaceful neighborhood and unsullied gardens. Then try to come to a solution together. If you can't bring yourself to talk in person, write a letter, says Shain. If nothing changes after a reasonable period, contact local law-enforcement officials and your animal-control agency and find out about noise ordinances and leash laws.
The Taker
Drops the kids off at noon and returns at nightfall; borrows the lawn mower and never returns it.
How to deal: If you always agree to do things for her, she might be oblivious to the offense. Whenever you offer to help, make clear up front what you are willing to do, says Jane Adams, Ph.D., a psychologist in Seattle and the author of Boundary Issues: Using Boundary Intelligence to Get the Intimacy You Want and the Independence You Need in Life, Love, and Work ($25, amazon.com). Say, "Sure, I can watch your child for half an hour. Then I'll run out and you can watch mine"; or "Yeah, you can borrow the lawn mower for the afternoon, but I'll need it to cut my grass tomorrow." Women who don't work outside the home can be prime targets for time-consuming requests because others assume they are free all day, says Adams. So have an excuse ready to go: "I'm busy until 5 p.m." says it all.

NIAID supports research on genital herpes and herpes simplex virus (HSV). Studies are currently underway to develop better treatments for the millions of people who suffer from genital herpes. While some scientists are carrying out clinical trials to find the best way to use existing medicines, others are studying the biology of HSV. NIAID scientists have identified certain genes and enzymes (proteins) that the virus needs to survive. They are hopeful that drugs aimed at disrupting these viral targets might lead to the design of more effective treatments.
Meanwhile, other researchers are devising methods to control the virus' spread. Two important means of preventing HSV infection are vaccines and topical microbicides.
Developing a vaccine against genital herpes has been challenging. Recently, an experimental vaccine intended to prevent genital herpes disease in women, although generally safe and well tolerated, proved ineffective when tested in a Phase III clinical trial known as the Herpevac Trial for Women. NIAID is examing other vaccine options and supporting several vaccines in various stages of development
Topical microbicides, preparations containing microbe-killing compounds, are also in various stages of development and testing. These include gels, creams, or lotions that a woman could insert into her vagina prior to sexual intercourse to prevent infection. The NIAID Sexually Transmitted Infections Clinical Trials Group is conducting a Phase I study to evaluate the safety of a microbicide gel to prevent genital herpes.
An NIAID-supported clinical trial demonstrated that once-daily suppressive therapy using valacyclovir significantly reduces the risk of transmitting genital herpes to an uninfected partner. This is the first time an antiviral medication had been shown to reduce the risk of transmission of a sexually transmitted disease. This strategy may help prevent the spread of genital herpes.

I told Ann I should go back and give him some money as a reward for honesty. Since our culture seems to be slipping into a sea of duplicity, it was refreshing to see someone maintaining a toehold on the truth, even if those toes peeked through worn out shoes.
I didn't return and have somewhat regretted it although have managed to handle my guilt. But since that day, I've paid more attention to panhandler signage.
These folks have stories.

My first instinct screamed I was being conned. But then it dawned on me, "So what?" I've wasted a ton of money in my life so why not assume this guy was telling the truth? I handed him a $20 bill and felt good about doing so.

I ignore most as I pass other than giving silent thanks for my extreme good fortune in life. Sometimes, I try to imagine what chain of events could've put them on this hot concrete bridge in 102-degree Vegas heat.
I'm certain none of these folks dreamed of holding signs and begging for money. Of all the silly college majors that are being born out of the self-esteem industry, I've yet to run into a BS (so appropriate) degree in panhandling, which seems to be a growth industry today.
Occasionally, I drop money into a can. Although I know most of this stuff is drug-driven, I pick and choose based on some ridiculous assumption I can mystically divine who among them is contribution worthy.
I feel for them, but charity is double-edged and should be directed toward needs rather than wants. If it's too readily available, self-reliance dies. It can reward in the present but kill in the long-term.
There's a reason the National Park Service admonishes visitors not to feed wildlife. If they get used to it, and you try to stop, they get mean.

For a while I had the opportunity to "run the planetarium". Yes, mostly I showed someone else's presentations, but I also did live shows where I could do things like advance the seasons, change the latitude, precess the earth so the North star wasn't any more. Seemed to impress people. Reseting the projector after all that was a bit of a challenge

Not that it wouldn't be cool to mess around with one! Especially if it also does Laser Floyd

What's really impressive is how you put the seasons back afterwards. Hardly anyone on the planet even noticed!

Personally I've got two eyes, some eyeglasses, and varying qualities of binoculars, which have been useful for watching comets or lunar eclipses, and I might still be able to find the dark-film eclipse-watching glasses. I've also got a hand-held collapsible telescope, but the optical quality is somewhere between "looks cool sitting on the fireplace mantel" and "goes with the parrot on my shoulder, yarrr!"
I do have friends who are more serious about astronomy, though. One of them built a fairly large reflector scope which folds up into the trunk of his Miata (this was some years ago; don't know if he still has the car.) Another has a backyard observatory shed, 8-foot sliding roof, computer-controlled motors for the scope. ("Engineer with lots of time on his hands after he retired?" Yup. He can do some really cool stuff with it.)
The most interesting astronomy gear I've seen the results of recently are from a Pentax digital SLR camera that does image stabilization by moving the sensor, and has a GPS in it. Apparently there's a mode you can use to tell it to track the sky for a really long exposure, so my friend who had it was able to take some good galaxy pictures.
I was going to say missing option, Camera with telephoto lens.. but your post covered it. Long exposure and a good camera results in light sensitivity better than my eyes.
I use the Hubble Space Telescope via google searches.

I'd be interested in your friends setup. That sounds fantastic (my cheap Canon mini can expose the night sky very well, my 3/4ths system Panasonic DSLR cannot accurately focus to infinity in star light - and the lenses don't have indicators and can be turned in either direction forever, never resulting in a focus on infinity).

Actually, I wish it were multiple choice, because I'd choose "friends have better gear" and "access to institutional scope"... a friend works at the Lick Observatory on Mt.

Radio telescope - not exactly "skywatching" (Score:5, Interesting)by NixieBunny (859050) on Monday January 20, 2014 @10:55PM (#46020773) HomepageI work on the Submillimeter Telescope on Mt Graham in Arizona. It's a 10 meter dish with several receivers in the ridiculously high frequency range of 200-800 GHz. We mostly do molecular spectroscopy, finding interesting molecules in faraway places. The 'images' that come out of my spectrometer are spectrum graphs, not photos.
I've recently observed with the SMT (remotely). It's a good telescope and you all do a great job running it!
Thanks! We aim to please.
What is the typical angular resolution you get - how much can you "zoom in" on a single source? Also, does it vary significantly accross the frequency range you're interested in, i.e. that longer wavelengths are collected from a larger slice of the sky than shorter wavelengths - and does it matter for the stuff you're doing?
Oh, and judging from the control room pics on Wikipedia: It does indeed run Linux
The beam size (it's a Gaussian beam, so it's fuzzy) is about 20-50 arc seconds, narrower at higher frequency. Basic pointing accuracy is about 5 arc seconds, but we improve that with pointing observations that measure the Gaussian beam dropoff on the sides of a bright object, so we can optimize pointing to within an arc second or two. More black magic.
Thanks! That's pretty nice - about the size of Jupiter in the sky then [1]. Since there is a x2 difference in beam width, are there ever any problems with the low-frequency bit of a spectrum being aquired from a larger piece of sky than the high frequency bit?
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... [wikipedia.org]
We only use one receiver at a time, so it's not a problem. A poster written by one of our grad students that gives an idea of the telescope's capabilities is here [nasa-academy.org].
The temperature scale on the graphs (temperature = signal strength) gives you an idea of the absurdly high sensitivity of the system. Some of those graphs are in milliKelvin!
I live near a public observatory, which has a wide variety of educational programs. While you may not get to choose the subject, you do have the opportunity to look through their scope, which is better than anything my friends have. Prices are very reasonable, and Thursdays are a "suggested donation" night if even that is a problem.

How about a capital city. Right in the centre too. I guess I can see 20 stars on a typical good night. (Totally clear sky tonight, I guess I could tally 100, but at -13C out, I'm not going to put that to the test.)
I voted monocular/binocular, as I do have a camera and lens which let me capture things like this without even resorting to a tripod: http://fatphil.org/images/moon.jpg , which I'd say is more than the eye can see (at least my crappy old eyes).

We did that trek for pretty much every lunar eclipse, meteor storm, high aurora activity, and comet religiously for about a decade. Every freaking time there was heavy cloud cover. Clearly an elemental conspiracy.

My eye has the largest field of view of any of those options, and is the most portable. However, I went with my binoculars because they are better for viewing the Andromeda galaxy than my naked eye (or a telescope). I live in a large city and have to go on camping trips in order to stargaze, so binoculars are by far the best equipment for my needs. A couple of my friends have telescopes, but they are nearly useless in town, and too large to take camping.

I live in a small town, and after 10 minutes or so of my eyes adjusting to the dark, I can easily make out the arm of Milky Way. We have a hot tub, and I love sitting out there, with the lights off, floating and just looking up at the sky. We see satellites usually every night and the ISS occasionally. Jupiter and Uranus have been really bright the last week or so as well. There's no telescope or other equipment that could enhance that experience.
Just so relaxing to be out there, especially in the winter when the air is cold and clear on a moonless night.
I could not agree more. For the first time in my life, I live out in the real woods in a forest and far away from the city. To go outside and look up, and see... *everything*. Its really fantastic, and it really starts the brain thinking. It wasn't long before I started thinking "bigger". Its a wonderful experience.
Uranus gets brighter and shinier the longer you sit in the hot tub.
I live in the downtown of a fairly major city. Even on a good night, anything dimmer than magnitude 2 is invisible. And on a bad night? No stars at all, just the moon. And all the jets and helicopters that seem to be constantly flying around.
I settle for setting Hubble images as my desktop wallpaper. I've got a rather nice one of the Orion Nebula up right now. And of course I follow several astronomy-themed blogs to get my spacewatching fix.
I used to get to look with a home made 8 inch telescope. Living down the road from DR. Clyde Tombaugh had it's advantages. Also got to hear the lecture about the discovery of Pluto several times. A very nice man.

My biggest scope is an 18" dob, made by the now-defunct Starsplitter. It looks a lot like an Obsession 18" [obsessiontelescopes.com], and uses Obsession accessories.
While large, with the wheelbarrow handles it's easy to move around and set up. When I bought it I refurbished it, including redoing the teflon bearings in the mount. A local industrial plastics shop sold me an offcut of real virgin GE sheet teflon. The result is pure dobsonian: rock steady, stays where it's pointed. And perfectly balanced: it moves with one finger.
Jupiter's moons are different colours and are non-stellar. Titan is an interesting colour. M13 has a friend, NGC 6207.
I took an astronomy course last semester and haven't given back my keys cause I still may go up there periodically for a comet or maybe to take more exoplanet data. The head of astronomy really encourages participation and made an extra project any volunteers, so if time is willing, I hope to measure the expansion rate of the universe this semester

Get a Vixen Polarie.
I'm just getting back into astro photography, with a newer Canon 6D. A polarie will help for the dimmer objects.
If I was more motivated (laziness, the death of me), I'd probably grab a basic guided stand and my f/1.8 lens and go hunting. DSLRs have truly revolutionized amateur astronomy, as it's now easier than ever to get a highly detailed picture from even quite dark objects without needing a high strength/high cost telescope.
The scope on my rifle ... (Score:4, Funny)... works just fine. Good enough to see the Galilean moons.
I did feel a bit like a redneck astronomer, though.
Shoot for the moon.
Hey someone had to say it
With 30 lbs counterweights (oof!), German equatorial mount, tripod (which seems to ring like a bell) and two cases of eye pieces, finders, defogger, red flashlight, etc. Also, a big flashlight, which runs on lead acid batteries to also power the scope (the main beam makes a heck of a Light Sabre on hazy nights!)
It's a lot to haul. I need a smaller Dob I can take and set up quickly.
...German equatorial mount...
Along which latitude does the German equator run?
It's not designed to assist in seeing something in space as much as it is for Finding something in space. There are tons of apps that allow you to overlay a map on the sky as you hold the phone up. Great for finding the planets, constelations, ISS, etc.
I'm not going to name off any of the apps as there are dozens of them from free to cheap, I switch back and forth between them.
I saw the iFamily app Sky Guide in action this weekend, makes me wish I still had an iPhone. I'm going to purchase it for the iPad though, I'm interested in seeing whether the Night Vision (red) mode is effective, prior iApps would kill my night vision while I was trying to find my target in the sky (red headlamp and paper based star maps are my current setup - night vision takes longer to adapt as I've grown older)..
My own telescope, currently pointed at neighbor's wife
I visit the stars weekly via astral projection you insensitive clods!
rifle scopes (Score:4, Funny)
I have a 3-9x power scope on my deer rifle, but I wouldn't want the martians to misinterpret my skygazing.
I use a microscope to observe the galaxy held in a trinket dangling from the collar of my cat, Orion.
He is an excellent astronomer, but he is totally null when it comes to computers (he says: "Computers smell fear and attack me when I'm around them"), so I usually give him a hand to setup the system to capture images and post-process them. Also, we share some excellent whisky while we observe the skies at his home (which is about 1/4 mile-400m away from mine, so we meet pretty often). This is a (not-so-good) picture of his home site [oagarraf.net], built by himself.
Oh, I forgot to mention. I also use Kerbal Space Program [kerbalspaceprogram.com] for my deep space observations.
Can you prove that the Universe does not contain some part which exactly matches what you can see on KSP? We only need to find where it is, but I leave this work to people with better telescopes and more time to search.
There's the building with the permanent mount refractor. I think it's about 8". There's the building with the 16" reflectors with permanent mounts, computer control and refractor with astrocam riding one of them, there's the little hydrogen sun filter scope and the 24" dob. And the classroom building/clubhouse. That's just the facilities at the _main_ site. Not their biggest dob, not the biggest refractor. Hell, people with enough interest should MOVE here.
I've rooted the control systems for the Hubble Space Telescope...

If this has already been done, please just direct me to the correct thread. A friend of mine and I are reading both books. I mentioned Mr. Harris' book and he brought in Mr. Wilson's. Ok, so I finished LtaCN quickly and found basically my opinion on the matter. I am now reading LfaCC and find errors, but I do not know how to sufficiently voice the concerns.
I need to preface this with the fact that I was Mormon for 18 years and just left the church after a two year struggle with my faith. The result left me an atheist since I don't buy the dogma. This leaves me with a vacuum to fill with real morality and the reason for it.
OK, that being said. I find most of LfaCC is filled with more questions than answers. The one that sticks with me though, is "why should it matter?" I know I love my life and children. I know I don't want people to suffer, but if pressed to say why, I can only say, I just do. To the mormon, this is the "light of christ" or conscience that lets you know right from wrong and how to define right from wrong. The problem with religion is that is does a poor job of defining these as well, but rather than show the inherent weakness in that position, I'd rather show the strength of mine.
So, for the atheist, how do you define right and wrong? In LtaCN, Mr. Harris puts it down to pleasure and suffering. Presumably, what ever causes suffering is wrong and pleasure is right. So, what ever course leads to the greatest pleasure for the greatest number of people, with the least amount of suffering should be the right choice.
I'm not sure how that fits with say the death of a whole family. The loss of one of my children would cause untold suffering. While they may not be suffering any more, I certainly would be. Not project that to a family lost to a cyclone (Myanmar). I feel pain at the loss, but none of those people are now suffering. If both parent and child are lost, why should it matter to me? I'm not sure, but it does. any one have some insights for a newbie?

I have been reading Sam's work on free will and was wondering, when he says we have no free will does he mean that we are guided by natural forces, pushed by desires and ideas that come from those impersonal forces and finally make decisions based off of such forces making choice illusory because it is always circumstance that pushes one into action or does he simply mean that we at no point, at all whatsoever, make a choice? To simplify, are our hands forced to make the decisions we do by chance or are our hands just "not our hands" moving without any perceived will at all?
I ask this because while I am certain that while he means to say that we have zero free will, and that we never have made or will make a single decision ever he does not seem to comment on the horrible implications this has, let alone the utter loop of thinking such a realization puts someone in. This would mean that no one is moral, no one successful, no one anything except what they by complete chance happen to be. No choices ever being choices, every single choice being a movie we're watching through our eyes, thinking we have control over. He simply does not seem touch on the fact that almost every aspect of human life (since human life involves constant choices) completely breaks down into sophistry.
Thanks for your "guidance" and "replies" even if it's just your unconscious making them!

Joan Irvine takes to skies once more on 90th birthday
Irvine family photo

Julie Muhlstein / The Herald
Joan "Mickey" Irvine is all smiles before taking a plane ride Saturday with the Snohomish Flying Service. A former pilot and flight attendant, the Everett woman was given the flight as a 90th birthday present.
"When I flew to Reno, I didn't sleep the night before. I felt very comfortable flying," the Everett woman said.
It's been about 70 years since she took flying lessons in Winnemucca, Nev., and made that 166-mile solo flight to Reno. During World War II, her goal was to fly military planes. With a shortage of male pilots, who were needed for combat overseas, the U.S. armed forces launched several programs in the early 1940s to train civilian women to fly military aircraft stateside.
Irvine -- her maiden name was Joan Johnson -- hoped to join the Women Airforce Service Pilots or its predecessors, the Women's Flying Training Detachment and the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron.
"That was what I was going to do when I finished flying school. I had visions of flying around the country in a B-17," said Irvine, a 1940 graduate of Everett High School.
On Saturday, she was back up in a big blue sky.
With her son, Don Irvine, 63, and her 26-year-old granddaughter, Brienne Irvine, she took a sightseeing plane ride from Harvey Field in Snohomish. The hourlong trip over Camano Island, Puget Sound and the Snohomish River valley was a 90th birthday gift from her family. "She didn't want more things," Don Irvine said.
Irvine turned 90 on Jan. 19, but the family waited for a perfect day for the flight with Snohomish Flying Service. They also wanted other family members there to celebrate her takeoff and landing.
"I can't believe it's finally here," Irvine said Saturday before boarding the four-seat Cessna 182 piloted by Kyle Artim. "I'm excited and a little nervous," she added.
Don Irvine, of Lake Stevens, said his mother hadn't been in a small plane in decades. And her dream of flying military aircraft? It never came true.
"There were no more WASPs," Joan Irvine said. More than 1,100 women flew with the military program. But at the end of 1944, with the war winding down, the program was discontinued. That left few opportunities for women who had hoped to play a role in military aviation. "She got her pilot's license, but the program disbanded," Don Irvine said.
So Irvine never flew for the military, but her flying days weren't over.
Before being married in the late 1940s, she joined Northwest Airlines as a flight attendant. "She used to fly on a regular route from Seattle to Montana," Don Irvine said. "There was more turbulence on planes back then, and she remembers other people being sick. It never bothered her," he said.
A widow, Joan Irvine lived on her own until last year. She now lives in Everett with her daughter, Patty Kumbera. Some of her things are stored away in boxes. Don Irvine hasn't been able to find her pilot's license or paperwork from Northwest Airlines. He doesn't know the exact dates she flew, and she can't remember.
She does have old photos of the Winnemucca flight school, and of herself in uniform as a flight attendant -- then called a stewardess. That career ended when Irvine became a wife and mother.
Irvine has shared with her son her memories of learning to fly. "For her solo flight to get her license, from Winnemucca to Reno and back, she flew a plane that was a little different than the one she trained on," Don Irvine said. "It wasn't getting enough altitude. She looked down and hadn't pushed the stick all the way forward." Once she did that, she cleared the trees and was up and away, he said.
Don Irvine said his mother had a great time Saturday. "When we landed, everybody was waiting for her at the Buzz Inn. They all gave her a standing ovation. She was properly embarrassed," he said.
He doesn't think his mother ever put her pilot's training to use.
"She gave it up for us. With four kids, she had a lot going on," Irvine said.

Exactly what my daughter wanted.
Ordered it online. By proofreading it and approving it myself online, helped to send it to production immediately, thus getting my order sooner. 10 days from start to finish.
Great product and customer service
The invitations, envelopes, and labels were all perfect. Was hesitant ordering online without seeing but realized I had nothing to worry about once I received them - they were great. Customer service was also gracious by giving me a discount on a reorder since I had to change my wedding date after they were already printed and sent to me. I recommened this company!

I know when I get on the floor, I'm going to use him a lot because I'm a pick-and-roll type guy and I see him. The best thing about him is that he made a major improvement is his jump shot.

Mike Relm
San Francisco's MIKE RELM is best known for his audio and video mash-ups, in his live concerts and broadcast work. Part DJ, part director, part music producer, Relm has introduced the world to a style that truly echoes the fever-pitched pace of modern entertainment while paying homage to classic filmmakers and musicians.
In 2006 Mike Relm began posting videos of his live show on YouTube in lieu of tediously mailing out electronic press kits to labels and booking agents. While he never signed to a label, he did catch the eye of Blue Man Group founder Chris Wink. Relm's YouTube videos acted as a virtual audition, as he was then brought on as the opening act for Blue Man Group's "How to be a Megastar 2.0" arena tour from 2006-2008. In between legs of that tour, he managed to squeeze in a groundbreaking performance at Coachella 2007 where he introduced more than 10,000 fans to the art of the video mash-up. That year he was also gave a full performance at the closing ceremonies at the Pan American Games in Rio De Janeiro, starred in a TV advert for HSBC, and created a mega mix for Nickelodeon's "Yo Gabba Gabba" holiday episode.
It was on the Megastar tour where skateboarding legend Tony Hawk first saw Mike Relm in action. Immediately following his amazing run with Blue Man Group, Relm flew to Tony Hawk's headquarters in Carlsbad, California to prepare for the 2008 Boom Boom Huck Jam as the opening act, tour DJ, and visual artist.
After the Huck Jam, Relm hit the lab to finish his debut album "Spectacle". Always looking for a challenge, this marked the first time he ventured into a project without the use of samples. He brought on an eclectic group of singers and emcees to help bring the project to life. Del the Funky Homosapien, Adrian Hartley, Morningwood, Mr. Lif, Lateef The Truthspeaker, Gift of Gab, and Adeem. Still sans label, he wrote, produced, and directed his first music video "Everytime (feat. Del the Funky Homosapien)". Garnering over 500,000 views in a matter of days, it was well received by fans and critics alike. Blake Gillespie of Impose Magazine summed it up as "Mike Relm goes M. Night Shyamalan for new video. Del stays Funkee."
Being at the forefront of audio/video mash-ups made Mike Relm an obvious choice to be a part of 2008's YouTube Live concert which featured Katy Perry, Obama Girl, Smosh, Will.I.Am, Michael Buckley, iJustine, The LXD, and Akon. The event was live streamed and broke the record for concurrent viewers; a record previously held by the 2008 Summer Olympics. Mike Relm created a mash-up using material from three films released by Lionsgate, for the first of many official trailer mash-ups they would team up for. His Spirit/Punisher/Transporter 3 trailer would earn him a 2009 Webby Award for best remix/mash-up. He was also brought on to be the Webby Awards' sole performing act and presented Seth MacFarlane's 5-word acceptance speech. In attendance was fine living icon Martha Stewart, who immediately hired Mike Relm to create the opening credits for season 2 of "Whatever, Martha!".
Martha Stewart wasn't the only person Mike Relm would encounter at the Webbys. Sharing similar interests in humor and politics with the hit makers at Barely Political led to several collaborations as well as the launch of an all video remix channel "RelmVision". Between remixes, he dazzled crowds at the Sundance Film Festival, South By Southwest, and headlined a sold out show at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC.
When Google launched their flagship device the ?Nexus One?, they tapped Mike Relm to create an ad, giving him 100% creative freedom on the project. He teamed up with Morningwood?s Chantal Claret to produce ?Wait (The Nexus)? and directed/starred/edited the video, which featured Jon ?Bionic Man? Bayani, fresh off his run on ?America?s Best Dance Crew?.
It's not hard to tell that Mike Relm has a penchant for all things comic books and sci-fi. So when the Iron Man 2 trailer was released in March of 2010, he took it upon himself to make a remix and upload it to his YouTube channel. It caught the attention of the film's director Jon Favreau, who brought Relm's remix to Paramount Pictures' marketing team. This lead to Mike Relm creating an all new 45-second television spot, in his trademark style. It would be the 2nd time in as many months that Relm would put his stamp on television; he made an appearance on G4's "Attack of the Show" where he showed off the Jazzmutant Lemur touch screen instrument/controller. After a lively interview with the show's host Kevin Pereira, he performed a video mash-up of AOTS moments.
Mike Relm's world has expanded far beyond his humble beginnings of a Hip Hop scratch DJ. His obsession with technology and the visual arts has helped him blaze a trail that very few single artists will be able to follow.
At the time of this writing, he is directing (and editing) his 2nd music video with Funeral Party (Sony Music Group) for their upcoming single "Just Because".

The Healthy recipie website is all about selecting the right health "recipes" to regain maintain and improve your health
A wonderful alternative to relying on the practice of "traditional" medicine is to use natural healthy remedies as a first line of defense. If you're ill and have been to the doctor and received instructions for taking care of your symptoms you should follow them, but you might want to consider trying a natural cure first.. This fist article is one of many health guidelines on how you can improve your health.
Working out can relieve depression and improve your health
Vigorously a workout recharges the body physically and mentally. It also provides a form of psychological relaxation as well as recreation. Exercise is Mother Nature's own tranquilizer. Undergoing vigorous exercise produces a chemical in the body that creates a change psychologically, improving your mental state. It elevates the beta-endorphin's, which are chemical hormones in your brain, which have an effect on mood. Physical exercise also may improve the functioning of the autonomic nervous system.
Exercise is more than just being active to improve your health
Exercising can influence your state of health and well-being far more than just general activity. Being active and having physical exercise are both important in keeping the body moving, they are different in terms of degree and the benefits derived? Regular exercise and workout gets your body moving voluntarily in a vigorous manner. Being active just means that you are using your body to perform certain functions. A vigorous exercise routine or workout is for the purpose of obtaining or maintaining muscle strength and tone and to achieve flexibility and control of the joints. Being just active in everyday life doesn't require as much hard work and effort as working out. There is a substantial amount of physical energy and effort put forth when actually exercising and therefore it has far more benefits physically and mentally.
Alkaline reserves
In order to perform a daily exercise routine the body needs to have enough alkaline reserves. Acid in the body builds up from poor diet, exhaustion, anxiety and lack of sleep can be combated with sufficient alkaline reserves. In order to achieve this alkali-boosting diet is recommended, especially for those with allergies.
Please beware there is a long list of foods that you need to avoid. These particular foods can possibly cause toxic accumulations in the body or over stimulate the adrenal glands. They can suppress the natural production of pancreatic enzymes and disturb your blood sugar balance.
Stay in tune with your body
Your body will have noticeable signs when something is off so you need to pay attention any symptoms you have. This is nature's way of trying to heal itself when you develop colds, digestive problems, fevers, irritations and eruptions on the skin. These symptoms are signs that your body is trying to rid itself of accumulated toxins.
All long-term illnesses such as asthma, coronary heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and rheumatism result from ongoing suppression of bodily systems by using hazardous means of curing symptoms using drugs, gland extracts, narcotics and vaccines.
Correct breathing is important
Proper breathing can dramatically improve your health and well-being. Breathing is automatic so it's easy to take it for granted. But it has very fundamental effects on your physical body, your thoughts and emotions. With each breath we provide oxygen to our bodily system and instigate the conversion of the vitamins and minerals we've ingested into fuel for energy.
Breathing properly makes a difference in our mood and state of mind. If we breathe in a shallow manner, we can become tense. On the other hand if we breathe deeply we can release tension and become more relaxed. How we breathe makes the difference as to whether we think clearly or are mentally fuzzy. Using the principles of yoga, breathing correctly can lead to achieving prana, the etherial substance that gives power to daily life.
To breathe properly you need to sit with your back and spine straight. You can also relax lying down. Breathe through your nose, not your mouth, and take very deep breaths.
Release your breath as you contract the muscles in the back of your throat. Inhale as long and as deeply as you possibly can without causing any pressure anywhere on your body.
Pranayama is breathing properly and by practicing pranayama your system will be purified by allowing "prana" to flow along the natural channels fueling daily life which in turn prevents certain problems from developing. It raises the body's resistance to certain respiratory conditions such as asthma, colds, and coughs. It also helps relieve headaches and insomnia.
Strengthen the immune system
There are many natural ways that you can boost your immune system. There is no need to wait until you are sick with the flu to start thinking about this. Next time you are at the supermarket buy plenty of ginseng teas and drinks to use if you feel a bug coming on. When this happens all you need to do is brew the ginseng tea to help you fight the flu. The hot water itself will help to relax your throat and clear out your sinuses. This will provide immediate relief from your symptoms.
To avoid becoming ill in the first place you can use natural health remedies on a regular basis to maintain a strong immune system.
