In terms of trip planning the 'semi-wilds' of Canada are really quite easy. Most road atlas style of maps ( AAA, Rand-Mcnally ... ) do quite a good job. Why you ask - there are not a lot of options for hard surface roads away from the main centers.
For back-roads the best series is by a company called "backroad map books" - basically an atlas of dirt roads, fire roads and donkey paths. The main iissue ( not their fault ) is the the vastness of Canada combined with the great detail they provide means each book only covers a small area. I think there are 4 or 5 books just for the lower 1/3rd of Ontario. I do not think they cover all of the country but always seem to be adding new books.
Are you looking for a road trip, back road or dirt trial trip ?
In a nut shell, a lot of Canada goes like Ontario --> Two main routes across the province. Either Hwy 17 that runs from the Quebec border near Ottawa up to Manitoba past Kenora. Option B, is Hwy 11 that runs from Toroto up to near the Ontario/Manitoba/US border. 17 is more scenic, especially around superior but 11 may be a bit quicker up to Thunder bay.
When looking at routes through Canada remember speed limits are lower then in most places the the US. In Ontario only the main highways in the south carry 100 km/h limits with the bulk of the rest of the province stuck at 90. This may not be too bad if not for the heavy handed enforcement. On 1 day ( Sault to Thunder Bay ) I passed 13 poilice speed traps, and the fines get up to big bucks quite quickly. Thus the lower speeds will keep travel times up.

How do I resist my pregnancy craving for beer?
I'm my last trimester and I have a huge hankering for a beer every now and then. When I go out to eat, everyone looks at me funny if I order one -- even if I only have a few sips. Does anyone else share this craving? What can I do to deter dirty looks?

I also crave beer and when i am craving one really bad i have an Odouls a non alcoholic beer and it satisfies my craving. I Sometimes also will have a glass of red wine.posted 05/21/2007 by 2redheadgirls4me
To deter the dirty looks I suggest being a RESPONSIBLE mother. You're not the only one who has cravings for alcohol, but actually indulging in it is selfish. THERE IS NO SAFE AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL THAT YOU CAN CONSUME WHILE PREGNANT.posted 05/21/2007 by CthulhuHugs
I had always been a beer drinker before I got pregnant...so I still crave it...when I do...I just drink the non-alcoholic beer...I tastes the same...so it fills you craving...posted 05/21/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
Valerie, don't listen to the scare tactics of people who only see things in black and white. Do your own research and be confident in your decision. I did not drink any alcohol in my first two trimesters but once or twice a week will imbibe a beer or glass of wine with dinner now that I'm in the third trimester. Not only do studies show that the effect of alcohol on the baby in the third trimester is NEGLIGIBLE...an occasional beer/wine can lower your blood pressure, help you sleep better and hops in dark beer will even help your milk come in. I'm on my third pregnancy and my decision to drink a little in the third trimester hasn't affected my kids at all. As for the ridiculous argument that even if your kids are normal you will never know how great they could have been...that is an incredibly stupid and ignorant thing to say. Why not worry about the pollutants our kids breath and eat affecting their brains? Why not worry about our kids individuality being stamped out by too much TV and overcrowded schools? Hell, you can turn anything into a scare tactic if you care to!.. So, everything in moderation and TOAST! Ignore the dirty looks and enjoy yourself. The ongoing judgement of other parents is something you should develope a thick skin toward right now- because it never stops!posted 05/21/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
come on people -- IF anything can hurt our kids, why would you do it? i crave chocolate and lots of things i shouldn't eat wehn i am NOT pregnant and don't eat them -- grow up - people give you dirty looks because you SHOULDN"T drink when you are pregnant. why risk it?posted 05/21/2007 by becker4att?
Why not wait? I am pregnant with my third child, 2nd pregnancy (my first was twins) and I come from an Italian family where wine is consumed at every meal. I don't partake mearly because, as most doctors will tell you, they are not sure how much it takes to cause damage, so why take a chance with your baby's life?! If you can't wait 9 months, then what the heck are you doing having a child anyway - seek counseling! I am also a smoker - but as hard as it was, I quit cold turkey for both pregnancies and it was very hard - but that's just one of the many sacrifices I will make for my children in their lifetimes. It's called being a parent so you may as well get used to it now. As for those people who stare- good for them. If it makes you think twice before ingesting something potentially harmful to your unborn child, then so be it. Be strong!! You CAN wait a little bit longer! PS- I do mean to be harsh and sound "holier-than-thou" as one woman put it - I hope it helps prevent at least one woman from making the same mistake.posted 05/21/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
DRINK O'DOULS! BETTER THAN TAKING ANY RISKS, IT TASTE GREAT, WITH OUT THE GUILT. WHEN SIPPING REAL BEER YOU SHOULD NEVER DRINK ENOUGH TO EVEN FEEL A BUZZ ANYWAY! DRINKING O'DOULS IS THE BEST WAY TO GO I THINK.posted 05/21/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I have had an instatiable craving for beer in both of my pregnancies during my last trimester. I experimented with a few non-alcoholic beer brands, and found that Molsen Excel (Canadian Brand) came very close to tasting like the real thing and satisfied my cravings and without the additional worry of consuming alcohol. It's important to note on the can that there it states there is 0.5 per cent alcohol content...my doctor told me that there is more alcohol in mouth wash! Good luck!posted 05/21/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I also have had that craving and I have had a beer and I don't think that it can do to much harm if it is moderation. I am now pregnant with my third child and my other two are just fine. If the taste is all you are craving try ordering a non-alcoholic beer its alomost the samething.posted 05/21/2007 by amgmommy3
I am 30 weeks pregnant and I have cravings for having a drink. I do have a glass of wine every now and then. And I have had many ultrasounds throughout this pregnancy and everything is fine. Don't worry about people judging you, I don't!!! All the articles that you read is going to tell you noooooooo but if you do it in moderation then I don't feel that you should be concerned.posted 05/21/2007 by Roberta0603

UAE lifts ban on PH poultry products
Emirati team to review halal processes of local firms
popular .
The United Arab Emirates has lifted a ban on chicken imports from the Philippines, enabling local producers of halal food to again tap the multibillion-dollar global Islamic market.
Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala said in an interview the UAE lifted the ban last June 18 and is sending a team of experts to directly check local facilities.
The UAE previously imposed a general ban on food shipments from Asia following reports of incidents related to the avian flu.
Alcala was recently in the Middle Eastern country as a side trip after the annual Food and Agriculture Organization conference held in Rome, Italy.
He explained that while there are local agencies that are engaged in halal certification, the UAE team would be coming over as part of a country-specific accreditation process.
A copy of a document issued by the UAE Ministry of Environment and Water, which was shown to reporters, states that the Emirates are now accepting "all kind of live birds, meats, products, hatching eggs, [and day-old chicks] from the Republic of Philippines."
"Based on the submitted application from the Filipino authorities, [we are] lift(ing) the ban on importing chicken and its products from the Philippines, in light of the ministry's interest in achieving its strategic goals in achieving … food security, and based on the requirements of public interest," the UAE resolution said.
Alcala said one supplier that the UAE team would check on is San Miguel Corp., which is locally a producer of halal-certified food products.
"When I was in the UAE, I also had the opportunity to talk to buyers," he said. "They told me of their need for eggs and even vegetables."
UAE sources a portion of its food imports from The Netherlands, which is nearer than the Philippines.

NEW DELHI: If men can vote at 18, they can also marry at that age, the Law Commission has suggested reducing the limit by three years from 21 and declaring marriage below 16 as illegal.
"He can vote at 18. He is considered a major at 18. So why can't they marry at 18," Kirti Uppal, Member of the Commission, said after the panel headed by AR
Lakshmanan submitted its report to Law Minister HR Bhardwaj on Wednesday.
"The age of marriage for both boys and girls should be 18 as there is no scientific reason why this should be different," the Commission said in its report.
It has also pressed for compulsory registration of marriages and recommended that men, just like women, should be allowed to wed at 18 and children below that age barred.
In its 44-page report, the Commission has also proposed that the age for sexual consent should be raised from 15 years to 16 years for all girls, regardless of marriage.
If accepted by the government, consensual sex with girls under 16 years of age could invite punishment meant for rape.
A man's sex with their minor 'wives,' aged below 16 years, could also become punishable. Under the existing laws, having sex with a minor 'wife' above 15 years is not rape.
Besides recommending compulsory registration of marriage, the Commission has proposed that marriages involving children between the age of 16 and 18 be made void (which can be annulled with mutual agreement between both the parties on attaining adulthood).

These Exotic Openings and Renovations Will Make You Go Mmm
Hotels in exotic locales (starting with M-), they're just like buses. You wait for one to open, then three come along at once.
First, hot on the heels of the jaw-dropping slick of sand that is Anantara Medjumbe Island Resort & Spa comes another Mozambique property, Avani Pemba Beach Hotel & Spa.
It's not quite as idyllic as Medjumbe – but then that bar is set pretty high. Instead of on a private island, it's in the north of Mozambique, in pretty Pemba (a sandy peninsula sticking out from mainland Africa). Pemba is also the gateway to the Quirimbas archipelago, where Medjumbe is. Also, Avani is Anantara's sister chain. Maybe time for a sibling visit?
The hotel sits on the headland overlooking the Indian Ocean, and all 185 simply styled rooms have terraces or balconies, overlooking either the ocean or the gardens. There's a bar, two restaurants and a Grab & Go deli and "coffee corner". There's also a fitness center, spa, tennis courts and not one but four swimming pools. A room this weekend starts from a very reasonable $245.

The Newest Private Island Hotel Is A Corker (And An Anantara)
Is it Robinson Crusoe's island? A previously undiscovered atoll in some warm ocean we just found on Google Earth?
No, it's better than either of those. It's the brand new Anantara Medjumbe Island Resort & Spa. Just that island. Just that hotel.
The hotel and its 1km-long, 300m wide private island form part of the Quirimbas archipelago off Mozambique. That's a 45 minute flight from Pemba for you and the inhabitants of the other 11 thatched villas on the island. (And if you're wondering, there are 32 islands in the archipelago, along with coral reefs and an aquatic national park (think dolphins and turtles as well as neon fish.)
The villas have private hammocks and pools, even though they're bang on the beach. The design is posh rustic – nicely understated. You won't want to move from your private space, of course, but if you do, there's also a main pool, bar, lounge bar, spa and restaurant.

The location was great.
The room was smaller than closet and between edge of the bed and the wall not enough room to walk to the bathroom which located at the end of long narrow room without bumping into the wall. They also had a very thin wall and we had a Chinese family of 6.
If you do not need to sleep during your vacation, this is hotel for you.

This is a wonderful hotel in downtown Madrid close to the old center of the city. Friendly and helpful staff and a great room ensured that my wife and I booked another room on our return back through Madrid on our way back to the US from Portugal.

In the heart of Sleeping Bear National Forest, the Tree House is centrally located, with quick access to the Glen Lakes, Sleeping Bear Dunes and Lake Michigan. Within a 20 minute drive, guests can find themselves in the midst of Traverse City. Come stay with us during the National Cherry Festival or the Manitou Music Festival. Everything is within reasonable driving distances. Benzie, Honor, Cadillac, Suttons Bay, Acme, Williamsburg, Bear Lake, Northport, Leland, and Lake Leelanau.
We had a great time at the treehouse. Everything you need is provided and was very clean. Looking forward to our next visit.
Great location, clean and beautiful! Hosts were wonderful. Highly recommended!!!!
The TreeHouse was so clean, tastefully decorated and had everything anyone would ever need. The setting is beyond beautiful- nestled in the woods, giving the view through each window of nothing but trees- heavenly! The owner is a kind and accommodating!
We stayed here for five nights. It was a lovely experience. Having found it difficult to find a place in the area for only a few people, The Treehouse is the answer. The design is smart, efficient and comfortable. It is clean, tidy, attractive and we needed nothing that wasn't supplied for kitchen prep. The view out of all of the windows is a nature lover's dream...a forest. It is quiet. The location between Empire and Glen Arbor makes getting to towns easy. Bordering Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is ideal for those who like to hike, swim, boat, canoe, etc. Relaxing on the deck would be an ideal low key vacation day. I recommend staying here. We look forward to returning to The Treehouse.
Restful location. Pleasant apartment/cabin/tree house. Close, easy access to local attractions.
This was our first visit to the Sleeping Bear area. Very comfortable, clean, cozy accommodations. Private and quiet, just the way we like it. Short drive to Empire and Glen Arbor for shops and coffee. Fantastic restaurants near by. Magnificent beaches up and down the coast. Had fun driving the maze of little seasonal roads at dusk and freaking the kids out about bears!... never saw any though. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks for a great visit Norm.

Locked-Out Honeywell Workers Reach DealAugust 3, 2011 5:08 am | by Jim Suhr, AP Business Writer | News | Comments
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Locked-out Honeywell workers at a southern Illinois plant that helps make nuclear fuel agreed Tuesday to a three-year contract, ending a labor dispute that festered for more than a year in the otherwise tranquil confines of Superman's adoptive hometown. The ratification of the deal reached about two weeks ago does not mean the roughly 230 union-backed workers in Metropolis will return immediately to their Honeywell jobs at the nation's only site that begins refining uranium for eventual use in nuclear power plants.

It's that time of year when the networks bring out their talent to parade around in front of the TV critics association and advertisers alike, to show off like a rancher lining up his prized cattle. A not so respectful analogy I suppose, but that's basically the sum of it. Strut, twirl, smile, look amazing. And so many did for the NBC Universal press tour. Sophia Bush, one seriously underrated hottie, Kenya Moore, Brandi Glanville, and others arrived to the staging grounds for prime preening.
I'm not exactly sure how bringing out the celebrities in their fineries indicates any quality related to their shows. But I'm the last one to judge as I primarily review content based solely on the sextastic ladies involved. So I'll take a back seat to the TV critics who perhaps see Sophia Bush, get a half chub, and give her show rave reviews. That's how I'd play it, except for the halfsies part, that just seems so non-committal. Enjoy.

2006 gold medalist Plushenko to skate for Russia in Sochi
Evgeny Plushenko was nominated by Russia's figure skating federation on Wednesday as the country's sole entry in the men's event at the Sochi Olympics.
Plushenko, whose three Olympic medals include the 2006 gold, is one of the leading skaters of the past 15 years, but his participation in Sochi had been in doubt due to injury and a second-place finish in the Russian nationals. Since back surgery last spring, he's skated in only one international event, a second-tier competition in Latvia.
The federation's brief statement came one day after Plushenko skated behind closed doors for judges to assess his readiness.
He still needs to be approved by the Russian Olympic Committee and Sports Ministry.
The federation named Maxim Kovtun and Sergei Voronov as reserves for Plushenko. Kovtun won gold in the Russian nationals, but placed only fifth in the European Championships last weekend, and many regarded him as having insufficient experience for the Olympics. Voronov was the silver medallist at the Europeans but has only one other silver and two bronzes in top-tier international events since 2007.
Plushenko won silver at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games and 2010 Vancouver Games.

Juan Montoya made the most of his only Indianapolis 500, winning in 2000 by more than seven seconds.
- Filed Under
Question: Wow on Montoya! Great news for the series, next year. Do you think Ganassi "responds" by making a stronger push for Hinch or TK for his fourth spot? (Jordan, Indianapolis)
Answer: I think it's Hinchcliffe to Ganassi for a couple of reasons. Andretti is getting very close to signing Marco, Munoz and Viso to pair with Hunter-Reay. Five cars seems too much, although certainly doable. There was a time when I thought Kanaan was headed to Ganassi, but the longer this goes the less likely I think it is. Hinch is younger than Kanaan and rising, and I think Ganassi would see him as a good ...

Museum of Art, Brooklyn
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
The musuem is the second largest art museum in New York City and also one of the largest in the US. Housed in a Beaux-Arts building is the expansive collections of 17th, 18th and 19th century paintings which makes it one of the premier art institutions in the world.
The collection spans from the rich artistic heritage of world cultures and includes over 1.5 million objects including its renowed ancient Egyptian pieces. There are also many special exhibits throughtout the year.
I learned to appreciate art at an early age, and The Brooklyn Museum is the reason why. As a child growing up in Brooklyn many of our school trips were to this fantastic musuem. As a result of this early introduction I began to express myself with my drawings. Because of this passion my teacher encouraged me to apply to the High School of Art & Design. I was accepted to attend this wonderful school. As part of an art project I was asked to paint a dolphin murual (they were my favorite subject) on a store front on 4th Avenue in Brooklyn. I owe my love of art to the early trips to the Brooklyn Museum. (A tidbit about me that very few people are aware of, lol)!
For me, art is a wonderful way of expressing life, love and passion!! I love art in any color, shape or form.
Admission Fees:
A suggested contribution of $8 Adults and $4 for seniors and students. Free to children under 12
Operating Hours:
Wednesday - Friday, 10am-5pm, first Saturday of each month 11am-11pm, Saturday and Sunday 11am-6pm
Closed Monday, Tuesday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve
Whoever is running the show here has a whole lot of things up their sleeve. I have seen things here I have never seen before in a museum. And that goes for the unique pieces on display and some of the very interesting ways things are shown.
Slowly as I went through section after section my appreciation grew more and more. By the time I was done, I felt as impacted as I had by any other museum. Even more so due to the skill of presentation showed off.
Sure you have seen museums. And you will probably see a few museums. But...have you seen Brooklyns?
I went to the Brooklyn museum of art this past saturday to check out the Basquiat show. Usually admission is $8 a person for adults. It's suggested so depending how nervy you are, you can pay less. I don't have the guts to do that, but you can. A cool thing is the first saturday of every month they have all sorts of events adn are open later, untill 11. (usually they close at 6 on saturday). Admission on the first saturday is free after 5 and you can attend all the events for free. When we were there we saw the basquiat show, and they had dance lessons followed by dancing and drinks and all sorts of fun! They had family events and talks on the featured show and special tours too.
The day was sweltering so Alex and I spent a lot of time outside by the foutain before we met our friends for the show. The water shoots up from the ground. It's sort of a water sculpture more then a foutain. So fun to watch everyone play. I might be able to post a travel log on this... not sure i know how. anyway, you can play in the water. it's so much fun to watch and get wet!
The museum is also right next to the brooklyn botanical gardens. We didn't go there but you can buy joint tix.
If you go for the first saturday events. I strongly suggest you get on line at 4 as they suggest because we arrived at 7 after our adventures around park slope, and we had to wait 2 hours to get into the basquiat show. It might have been because it was the last day of the show, but i'm not sure. better safe then sorry.
Every first Saturday of every month its free and opened late.
The energy levels are high pumped with performances, music, dancing, and gallavanting through the galleries for free. They serve wine and food for a small price. For peace and solitude dip into a gallery. Their egyptian art collection is large and notable as well as their asian art collection. There's large show space for travelling and special shows. Just opened is a new promenade that is beautifully adorned with fountains designed by the dude that made the fountains at the Bellagio in Vegas. Hit it up fo sure.

With our "Daytime Star" now revving up for another sunspot maximum in 2013, displays of the beautiful Aurora Borealis are becoming increasingly numerous. They are considered nature's grandest light show and if you've never witnessed one, be prepared to be "wowed"! And the best part is that no equipment is needed-just your eyes (with their amazing "all-sky" viewing capability) and a clear night. Continue reading

The Amazing "Coathanger" Asterism
The night sky is full of wonders of many kinds. One of the most common and surprising are the groups of stars known as "asterisms." These are distinctive stellar patterns lying within a constellation or, in some cases, one made up of those from two or more adjoining constellations.
Some are so unusual and artificial-looking that they seemingly couldn't possibly be real! One of these is the famed "Coathanger" asterism, now well placed for viewing with your Edmund binoculars on October evenings. Continue reading
The Moon's Non-Rotation & Dark Side
Two of the enduring misperceptions of astronomy are that the Moon doesn't rotate since we see the same side of it all the time, and that the back side of the Moon is its dark side. But neither one is true! A simple demonstration in the one case and a bit of logic in the other will quickly dispel both myths. Continue reading
An Ideal Meteor Shower!
There are several annual major displays of "shooting stars" that skywatchers look forward to with eager anticipation, and we have previewed them in this column a number of times over the years. Unfortuntely, at least one or more are typically spoiled by clouds, bright Moonlight flooding the sky, or peaking during daylight hours or on weekday nights when staying up late isn't an option for those who must rise early for work. Except for the always unpredictable weather, one of the year's best-known showers is ideally made to order this month. Continue reading
So You Want to Become a Stargazer?
Amateur astronomy is one of fastest growing hobbies today, as more and more people attempt to escape the stress and problems of our troubled society by looking skyward. It's also one of the most exciting of all avocations, dealing as it does with the awesome wonders of the universe. And it's one of the least expensive and easiest to get started in. In fact, as famed telescope-maker John Dobson says, we're all already stargazers at heart!
The Transit of Venus!
A very rare celestial spectacle will occur on the late afternoon of Tuesday, June 5th, when the planet Venus will transit the face of the Sun—an event that can be seen even with the (protected) unaided eye! These transits happen in pairs separated by 8 years (the last one having been in 2004) and then not again for more than a century. The next pair won't occur until 2117 and 2125, so this one is not to be missed! Let's take a closer look at the transit itself.
Annular Solar Eclipse
On the late afternoon of May 20th, most of the United States and Canada will have an opportunity to watch an eclipse of the Sun. Nearly everywhere it will be a partial solar eclipse—but for those living in a narrow band across the southwestern part of this country, the event will be seen as an "annular eclipse." In either case, solar eclipses are relatively rare in any given location, and if skies are clear that day it should not be missed!
Sky Talk April 2012: Venus Kisses Pleiades Star Cluster!
As mentioned in last month's column, following its striking conjunction with the planet Jupiter, radiant Venus made a beeline right for the famed Pleiades Star Cluster (popularly known as "The Seven Sisters"). On the evenings of April 2nd and 3rd, our lovely "Evening Star" will move through (across) portions of this glittering stellar jewelbox, the combo looking like a brilliant gem set amid sparkling blue-white diamonds!
Be sure to mark Monday and Tuesday evenings, April 2nd and 3rd, on your calendar. About 45 minutes to an hour after sunset if skies are clear, you'll see the brilliant planet Venus hovering in the western sky just under (or on top of, depending on your latitude) the lovely Pleiades Star Cluster. While an intriguing sight with the unaided eye (a matter of how sharp your vision happens to be!), this pairing will be an ideal target for your 7×50 or 10×50 Edmund binoculars, which will easily encompass both planet and cluster with plenty of sky around them. So too will a wide-field telescope like the Edmund Scientifics' Astroscan with its amazing 3-degree field (that's six Full-Moon diameters of sky!) at 16x.
The Pleiades itself is the best-known and brightest open cluster in the sky, containing dozens of stars as seen in binoculars — and hundreds viewed in larger telescopes. Venus' slow motion across the cluster will be noticeable over a period of hours, especially in the latter glasses. There's also the possibility of seeing Venus actually cover up (or occult) and then uncover some of the cluster members, but this will definitely require a telescope using enough magnification to show its brilliant disk well (50x to 100x is recommended here). If you see the planet close to a star, carefully watch it to determine if it's heading right for it. The chance of actually witnessing an occultation is remote (none are predicted) and depends heavily on your geographic location. But just seeing Venus in close proximity to the cluster's stars will be exciting in itself.
There's an added treat here for skywatchers. It turns out that Venus will be at its greatest brilliancy in April. And contrary to logic, it's not brightest when fully illuminated — because it's then on the opposite side of the Sun from us, and quite distant and small. It actually appears the brightest in our sky when in the crescent phase! That's when it's on "our side" of the Sun, relatively close to us, and displays a huge crescent which reflects much more sunlight Earthward than does its tiny disk when fully illuminated. The bottom line here is that the crescent Venus will be a beautiful sight in telescopes even at low powers, and it can also be glimpsed through carefully-focused and steadily-mounted (or image-stabilized) binoculars.
One other April event worth mention is that of the annual Lyrid Meteor Shower, which peaks on the night of the 21st-22nd. While not a rich display, it has on occasion surprised observers with many more "shooting stars" than normal. And this time, maximum occurs on the same night as the New Moon, so moonlight will not interfere at all with visibility.

Sky Talk March 2012: Night Sky's Six Brightest Objects at Once!
As March opens, skywatchers will be treated to the rare opportunity of seeing Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Sirius, the Moon and Mars all above the horizon at the same time after sunset. And while each of these objects is itself a wonderful telescopic sight, this event is best enjoyed using the unaided eye alone to sweep across this celestial panorama.
Stepping outdoors about 30 to 45 minutes after sunset the first three evenings this month, an amazing display of the sky's six brightest objects will be found spread out from the southwestern horizon to the eastern one. Lowest in the west is the shy and elusive planet Mercury (which may require your Edmund binoculars to be well seen, depending on how bright the twilight sky is at the time you look). It's followed higher up (and eastward) by dazzling Venus — which, as the third brightest object in the entire heavens after the Sun and Moon, can't possibly be missed! Higher yet is Jupiter (which, as described below, will come very close to Venus at mid-month). Next is the brilliant blue-white star Sirius in the south, brightest of all the stars in the heavens. Roughly above it will be the gibbous Moon and, finally, further to its east fiery Mars. Wow — what a spectacular celestial lineup this will be!
As the month progresses, Mercury will quickly drop lower in the west and disappear into the sunset while the Moon will continue its never-ending eastward journey around the sky. Interestingly, although Mercury will have been lost to sight, Saturn rises in the east later in the evening to take its place — still leaving six of the sky's luminaries above the horizon at the same time! But there's more happening this month, involving the two brightest of the planets. Keeping an eye on Venus and Jupiter from night-to-night, you'll notice the two worlds drawing closer together. On the evenings of March 12th and 13th, they will be just 3 degrees apart, both easily fitting into the field of view of any binocular. And here telescope owners will want to examine each of these objects separately, just 25x being enough magnification to show their dissimilar disks (and Jupiter's four bright Galilean satellites).
While the two planets appear close together in the sky at this time, in reality they are quite far apart in space — Venus being about 75,000,000 miles from us and Jupiter 525,000,000. (But compared to Sirius, they are right in our backyard. Among the closest stars, it lies over 50 trillion miles from our Solar System!) These lovely worlds afterward slowly separate, ending up some 15 degrees apart by the end of March and with Venus moving higher in the sky on its way to a spectacular conjunction next month with the famed Pleiades Star Cluster (be sure to check out the April Sky Talk about this event).

Sky Talk February 2012: Crescent Moon Visits Venus & Jupiter
Mark the evenings of February 25th and 26th on your calendar. If clear, head out after sunset and look toward the western sky. There you will see two of the brightest objects in the night sky—the planets Venus and Jupiter—being "sideswiped" by the brightest of all nighttime objects, the Moon. The spectacle will be readily visible with the unaided eye, and a truly fascinating sight in binoculars.
Other than a meteor shower, the occasional bright comet, or an eclipse, most people think of the sky as static and unchanging. But nothing could be further from the truth—everything in the sky is constantly in motion! The most obvious example of this is the slow movement of the stars from east to west due to the daily rotation of the Earth on its axis. And the very word "planet" comes from the Greek for "wanderers," indicating that ancient skywatchers recognized that these bodies moved in relation to the stars themselves.
Venus and Jupiter are currently slowly drawing closer together each week as they prepare to meet in a spectacular celestial embrace (or "conjunction") in March that will be covered in the next issue of Sky Talk. Most of this movement is due to Venus rapidly gaining altitude in the sky and catching up to Jupiter. On the evening of February 25th, Venus will be joined by the beautiful crescent Moon to its upper right. The following evening, the Moon will have moved upward (actually eastward in the sky) and to the right of Jupiter. The view on either of these evenings through your Edmund binoculars will be quite a sight! And should you have a rich-field telescope with a very wide field of view such as the Scientifics' Astroscan Plus, both Moon and planet may actually fit in the same eyepiece field for a brief time. Whether using binoculars or telescope, be sure to notice the "Earthshine" illuminating the dark portion of the Moon itself. As discussed in past Sky Talk installments, this is sunlight from the Pacific Ocean where it's still daylight reflecting back onto our satellite. (This glow is also visible to the unaided eye.)
Through a telescope at a magnification of about 30x, Venus will appear just over half-full (or slightly gibbous) during February. The best time to observe it is during twilight when the bright sky background cuts down on the glare from this radiant orb, which overpowers the planet in a dark sky. At the same magnification, Jupiter's four bright Galilean satellites will be visible in constantly changing positions as they orbit the giant planet. And after it passes Venus and Jupiter, the Moon moves out of the scene in its never-ending eastward journey, clipping along at an orbital velocity of over 2,200 miles per hour. Truly, the heavenly canopy above us is not static but rather an ever-changing (and absolutely free) skyshow!

Robert, the simplest registration system I know of is a couple of pins taped on plate glass, and then put another plate on top for exposure. It is very simple to make, go to any art store buy the two pins and a hole puch and you are in business. This can be made as elaborate or simple as you want it. For Gum, I am not an expert by any stretch, but I have done negative registration and I would guess just aligning the previous image with the negative over a light table is best, then just tape it. I hope Clay or Kerik see this, they do Gum over pt and they would be the best source for this kind of set up. You might want to e mail them, they are very kind and free with their advice and knowledge and so far they have been inavaluable to me for solving this kind of problems.
Good luck.
P.S. BTW Clay told me you have to shrink the paper before you do the first pass or the images will not registrate, so put the paper in hot water for at least 20 min and let dry before you do your first gum pass.

For Wisconsin Voters, Recall Day Is Here
By Don Gonyea
Republican Gov. Scott Walker faces Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in a recall election Tuesday that has attracted a lot of outside money. The attempt to remove Walker came after he successfully pushed to limit collective bargaining rights for public sector unions.

A driver turned right out of a pub carpark last night, drove
50 metres and ran a red light, crossed four lanes of traffic,
and smashed into a Christchurch house.
David Murphy had just been sitting on his bed moments
A decision to drop into his local library before it shut
probably saved his life.
"When I came back there was 30 people looking at a car inside
my flat," said the 52-year old invalid.
The driver, a man in his 50s, had been at Coasters Tavern on
Daniels Rd in the Redwood suburb of Christchurch before the
crash, witnesses told APNZ.
He appeared to have come out of the pub carpark, turned right
on to Daniels Rd, and gone through a red, across four lanes
of traffic, narrowly missing a traffic light pole, a sturdy
tree, before scything through a hedge, across a lawn, and
into the weatherboard council flat.
The car had ploughed so deep into the house that it had to be
winched out before emergency workers could try to free him.
The flat's wall had caved in, a large window smashed, and
bedroom and adjoining bathroom wrecked.
The driver was cut from the badly damaged car by firefighters
using the jaws of life.
He was taken to hospital with serious, but not
life-threatening, injuries.
His passenger was "rather intoxicated" according to a police
officer at the scene, however, he was unhurt.
In fact, once his mate had been cut free from the wreck, the
passenger, with the aid of a walking stick, strolled back
into the tavern.
When a police officer at the scene was asked if alcohol
played a factor in the crash, he replied: "It's something we
will be looking at."
Mr Murphy, meanwhile, said he was "bloody lucky" to be alive.
"I could've been sitting there. He's hit it very hard. He's
lucky to be alive too."
Mr Murphy said he would now have to phone Christchurch City
Council and seek alternative accommodation.
"I can't sleep in there."
One neighbour said he was sitting in his bedroom when he
heard the sudden "bang".
"I just can't understand how he's managed it," he said.
Angela Howarth was driving to her home nearby when she was
nearly taken out by the car.
"I was very surprised. You don't expect to be going through a
green light and see someone coming straight at you," she
She managed to slow down and avoid the car before it crashed.
Mrs Howarth pulled over and phoned emergency services.
A police spokesman said they got the call at 7.37pm.

On Aug. 13, the Senate majority leader, Tito Sotto, wept while addressing his assembled peers. The former actor told the Senate that birth-control pills, used by his wife in 1974, had led to the death of their newborn son a year later. The emotional scene shut down the day's debate. It was the latest obstruction to passing a reproductive health law that has languished for 14 years.
Proponents of the reproductive health bill say it will address poverty, women's rights, infant and maternal mortality, and overpopulation in a poor nation crowded with 94 million people. Though contraceptives are currently available, the general population can't afford them. The bill seeks to offer natural and artificial birth-control options, reproductive health care and sex education in public schools.

So stupid. :wavey: Because the system is now set up to label any white person who disagrees with a black person a racist. Where I now work there is a black supervisor who sexually harasses white women. If they complain, he labels them racist and they are given a choice of leaving the organization or attending racial sensitivity classes. Last month I had to go to the hospital for an x-ray. While in the crowded waiting room a rather large, obnoxious black woman came in and started yelling she didn't have time to wait, and that she wanted to be taken care of first. Instead of being asked to leave, she was accomodated. This afternoon I stopped at a supermarket. The lines wern't too bad, but several young black women started raising hell because they didn't want to wait. The store manager immediately opened another register, just for them. One still felt it was too long a wait, and she walked out, pushing a carriage load of groceries. Noone called the police, they just let her go. When I checked out I asked my cashier why. She said they were afraid of repercussions if they arrrest black shoplifters. Last summer, at my local Walmart, a black man raped a white woman in the parking lot. In broad daylight. 2 Walmart employees were out getting carriages. They are shown on the security tape stopping to watch. They didn't intervene, they made no effort to call for help. They were black, too. snowbird03-29-2012, 09:52That article had a lot of food for thought.

I then had the Anti-pasta and dh had the Minestrone broth.
Followed by the Strip Steak for me and a chicken Flatbread for Dh.
And eventually (to take away because we couldn't squeeze them in just yet) an Amaretti Cheesecake and a Chocolate Cake. We ate these on our way round the park, they were delicious

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
Hi, I'm Kal, recently moved to Southsea. I'm very clever and often quite witty - but absolutely useless at attempting to summarise myself in a few sentences. Love coffee, conversation, walks by the sea. Am a hardheaded romantic, strong, fragile, determined, vulnerable. I am honest and honourable, and am looking to meet new people locally. Just for info - I am not into cybersex, 1 nighters, men, threesomes, drugs or drunkenness.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Filling out silly forms online in order to be propositioned by people who have clearly never read them! I guess that at least means I know the difference between a proposal and a proposition.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Talking, writing, philosophy
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Dunno. Ask them.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Can only really answer for this week. I am changeable! Today I am liking reading a novel by Douglas Kennedy, a biography of Isaac Newton, something on 19th century british history I enjoyed the movies the Princess Bride, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, most Hitchcock movies, Trainspotting, Jackie Brown. At the moment I am listening a lot to Einaudi, Nick Drake, cheesy 80s pop, Mahler's 3rd..
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
The nature of time, when I am going to get a date, my overdue library books.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
I don't really do typical :). But I am unlikely to be clubbing/in a pub.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I'm a little paranoid about the amount of information I share about myself on the internet.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
You feel like saying a bit more than "hi"! Anything I think someone has taken a little trouble over will get a reply!

The New York Times Launches Education Travel Program09:00 EST Wednesday, January 11, 2012 NEW YORK (Business Wire) -- The New York Times announced today the launch of Times Journeys (www.TimesJourneys.com), an educational travel program that connects readers and lifelong learners with Times journalists while they enjoy the pleasures of travel. Times Journeys's initial program is a 12-night Eastern Mediterranean cruise on Holland America Line's ship, the Nieuw Amsterdam, sailing October 5-17, 2012. The ship will sail round-trip from Venice, Italy, making stops in Montenegro, Greece, Turkey and Croatia. Times journalists will engage participants in conversation and thought-provoking analysis on an expedition of seminars covering current events, film, science, music and technology. Joe Nocera, New York Times Op-Ed columnist, and A.O. Scott, Times film critic, are among the first confirmed speakers. More journalists will join the speaker program in the coming months. "Times Journeys provides our readers and like-minded travelers an opportunity to learn from and interact with some of The Times's most celebrated journalists," said Alice Ting, executive director, brand development and licensing at The New York Times. "Our first event provides an intimate setting where guests can absorb and explore The New York Times's perspectives on relevant issues, events and pursuits while contributing to the exchange of ideas." The October cruise has two price components: the cruise cost and the conference fee. Cruise costs range from $1,799 per person for an inside cabin to $6,099 for a deluxe suite (plus taxes), and include meals onboard, stateroom accommodation and entertainment, in addition to the voyage to some of the most enchanting and culturally rich destinations in the world. The conference fee, which includes approximately 30 hours of programming and two cocktail receptions, is $1,575. The event is supplemented by The New York Times Knowledge Network, an online education program that offers a wide range of distinctive adult and continuing education courses and Webcasts. Knowledge Network courses will be offered to travelers at a discounted rate, so they may further enhance their experience through a variety of courses covering arts & culture, health & science, business and politics. Courses can be taken before the cruise, in preparation for the discussions, or after the event, extending the Times Journeys experience back home. Times Journeys is produced by Insight Cruises.
