Distant Neighbors
It's lonely out beyond the edge of the galaxy. The nearest neighbors would be hundreds if not thousands of light-years away. About the only thing in sight, in fact, would be the hazy disk of the Milky Way, glowing like a small, cloudy slash across the dark sky. The Milky Way's disk spans about a hundred thousand light-years. We see its outline as a hazy band of light across a dark night sky. But most of the galaxy's mass is found outside the disk, in a huge volume of space known as the halo. It consists mostly of invisible dark matter, but it also contains a smattering of stars. The most distant of those stars yet seen appear to be far beyond the galaxy's disk. A team of astronomers found two red-giant stars that are deep into the halo. Red giants are puffy stars that shine dozens or hundreds of times brighter than the Sun, so they're visible across great distances. One of the stars is about 775,000 light-years from the center of the galaxy, while the other is more than a hundred thousand light-years farther. That makes them the most distant members of the Milky Way yet seen. The stars probably didn't form that far out because there's not enough gas in the halo to give birth to stars. Instead, they could have been kicked out of the disk by gravitational encounters with other stars. Or they could have been stripped away from smaller galaxies — turning them into remote sentries on the lonely outskirts of the Milky Way.

Moon and Spica
You don't need big telescopes or electronic instruments to learn about the universe. Sometimes, you can learn a great deal with not much more than your eyes alone. 2200 years ago, for example, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus learned that the stars change position relative to the Sun from year to year. He did so by measuring the position of Spica, the brightest star of Virgo. Spica is in good view in the east at dawn tomorrow, close to the upper right of the crescent Moon. During a lunar eclipse, Hipparchus measured the angle from Spica to the middle of the Moon. And from that, he calculated Spica's position relative to the Sun. He found that the star had moved about two degrees since another eclipse 150 years earlier — about the width of a finger held at arm's length. He realized that the entire celestial sphere — the background of fixed stars — rotated with respect to the Sun. That rotation is known as the precession of the equinoxes. It's caused not by the stars, but by Earth. Our planet "wobbles" on its axis like a spinning gyroscope that's running down. As it does so, the stars appear to shift position relative to the Sun. It takes about 26,000 years to complete one full wobble and have the stars return to their starting positions. The precession of the equinoxes was an important discovery because it showed that the heavens can change — a discovery made with some simple tools and the nimble mind of Hipparchus.

Early Sunsets
The Sun, which is shown setting behind the Davis Mountains near McDonald Observatory, sets earliest for the year from the northern United States in mid-December. The earliest sunsets for more southerly latitudes took place earlier in the month.

Earliest Sunsets
The shortest day of the year is still almost a week away, yet for most of the country, the Sun is already starting to set a little later than it did just a few days ago. The difference isn't much, though — you have to pay close attention to notice it. The shortest day of the year is the winter solstice. In the northern hemisphere, it comes on December 21st, when the Sun stands farthest south for the entire year. You might expect the latest sunrise and earliest sunset on the solstice as well. But that's not the case. The earliest sunsets came around the first of December for those in Miami, about a week later for those in the country's middle latitudes, and a few days later still for those in the north. There are several reasons for the early sunsets. One is related to Earth's tilted axis. Another is Earth's orbit around the Sun. Right now, we're near our closest point to the Sun, so our planet moves a little quicker and covers a slightly greater distance than average each day. That means that Earth has to turn a little bit farther for the Sun to return to "local noon" each day — its highest point in the sky. And that takes a bit more time, so local noon occurs later each day. And if noon comes later, so do sunrise and sunset. If you add it up, the earliest sunsets take place a few days or weeks before the solstice, while the latest sunrises occur after the solstice. It's all part of the precise but complicated workings of the solar system.

Many of the myths of ancient Greece sound like they were written for Hollywood. There's beauty, mystery, and treachery, with enough nasty monsters to occupy passels of computer animators. One of the nastiest is Cetus, the sea monster, which crawls across the southern sky on December evenings. His story begins with Cassiopeia, the queen of Ethiopia. She was beautiful but vain — she bragged that she was the most beautiful of all. That didn't sit well with the sea nymphs, who were also great beauties. They asked their father, Poseidon, to punish Cassiopeia for her boasting. He did, by sending Cetus to destroy Ethiopia. Cetus is often depicted as having the head and forelegs of a land creature, but the body of a sea serpent. And he was huge — big enough to destroy entire villages. The oracles told King Cepheus that the only way to save his kingdom was to sacrifice his daughter, Andromeda. So he ordered her to be chained at the shoreline as a sacrifice to Cetus. Just as the monster approached, though, Perseus, the hero, came to the rescue. Depending on which version of the tale you read, he either hacked the monster up, or turned him to stone with the head of Medusa, another nasty creature. Either way, Andromeda was saved, and Cetus was banished to the stars. The constellation is in the south and southeast at nightfall, and due south around 9 o'clock. It offers few bright stars, so you need dark skies to see this vanquished sea monster.

Mars at Perihelion
Mars is snuggling especially close to the Sun right now. It was at its closest just yesterday, at a distance of about 128 million miles — 14 million miles closer than average. Like the orbits of all the planets, the orbit of Mars is an ellipse — like a flattened circle — so Mars's distance from the Sun varies. In the case of Earth, the change in distance isn't much. But Mars's orbit is much more lopsided. The dramatic difference in the distance between Mars and the Sun has a dramatic impact on the Martian seasons. When Mars is closest to the Sun, it receives about 45 percent more solar energy than when it's farthest. The point of closest approach occurs just before the start of winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the south. So southern summers are much warmer than those in the north, while southern winters are much colder. The change in seasons can bring large dust storms. Mars's polar ice caps are topped by frozen carbon dioxide. CO2 in the atmosphere freezes onto the polar cap that's experiencing winter, then vaporizes and flows back into the atmosphere during summer. Since the south pole gets colder, it develops a larger ice cap. But that also means that when summer arrives, more carbon dioxide rushes into the atmosphere. The difference in temperature between the cold air and the Sun-warmed ground can generate strong winds. The winds can kick up big dust storms — some of them big enough to blanket the entire planet.

Geminid Meteors
The Geminid meteor shower is at its best the next couple of nights. You can look any time after it gets dark, but there are more meteors after midnight, when your part of Earth faces more directly into the meteor stream. By then, though, the Moon will be in the sky, so its glare will interfere with the fireworks. Like all meteor showers, the Geminids are named for a constellation — in this case, Gemini, the twins, which is high overhead around 2 or 3 a.m. If you trace the paths of the Geminids across the sky, they all appear to "rain" into the atmosphere from Gemini. But meteor showers aren't caused by the constellations. In fact, even though a meteor is sometimes called a "shooting star," it has nothing to do with stars at all. Instead, it's a bit of cosmic rock that's burning up as it plows into the atmosphere. Meteor showers occur when we encounter dense clouds of these bits. Most meteor showers are spawned by icy comets. But the Geminids come from an object that resembles both a comet and a rocky asteroid. 3200 Phaethon may be an extinct comet — one that's lost all or most of its ice, leaving only a ball of rock. Bits of that rock fleck off the surface and stream into space — providing the raw meterials for a meteor shower. To watch the shower, find a safe viewing site away from city lights. Despite the glare of the Moon, you might still see a handful of bright meteors streaking across the sky the next couple of nights.

Geminid Meteors Peak December 13-14, 2014
The Geminid meteor shower will be at its best after dark on Saturday, December 13 and before dawn on Sunday, December 14, according to the editors of StarDate magazine. read more
Cracks in the Moon
Observations by an orbiting spacecraft suggest that one of the large volcanic plains on the Moon may have formed when the Moon's early crust cooled and contracted. That caused the crust to crack, allowing molten rock to bubble up to the surface, filling lower terrain and creating the Ocean of Storms. That origin would be difference from most of the dark volcanic plains, which formed after impacts by large asteroids. This image combines a Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter view of the Ocean of Storms with an artist's depiction of the cracks around its edges.

Moon and Companions
A bright trio climbs high across the southern sky late tonight — the Moon, the planet Jupiter, and Regulus, the brightest star of Leo, the lion. They climb into good view by midnight, and are high in the sky at first light. 1960s view of the Ocean of StormsMuch of the portion of the lunar disk that's visible tonight is covered with dark volcanic plains — beds of rock that were deposited billions of years ago. Many of them formed when asteroids punched holes in the Moon's crust. Molten rock then bubbled to the surface, filling the basins created by the impacts. But the largest of these dark features may have a different origin. The Ocean of Storms covers a million-and-a-half square miles. If you leave out Alaska and Hawaii, that's about half the size of the United States. Unlike many other volcanic plains, its outline is ragged, suggesting it wasn't formed by an asteroid. Observations from a recent NASA mission suggested a different origin. GRAIL measured the Moon's gravitational field, which revealed four deep cracks around the Ocean of Storms. Those cracks may have formed when part of the crust of the young Moon cooled and contracted, opening deep rifts in the lunar surface. Molten rock then oozed through the cracks, eventually spreading out to form the volcanic plains that are visible today. The Ocean of Storms is on the left side of the Moon as it rises late tonight — a dark volcanic plain that may have formed when the lunar surface cracked open.

Moon and Jupiter
Planetary scientists often deal with sizes and distances that are beyond anything in the everyday world — measurements in the thousands, millions, or even billions of miles. And yet for some things, a single inch will do. Two examples where that's the case are close together late tonight: Jupiter and the Moon. Jupiter looks like a brilliant star to the lower left of the Moon as they rise in late evening. The Moon is our nearest neighbor, at an average distance of about a quarter-million miles. By bouncing laser beams off special reflectors left on the Moon by Apollo astronauts, though, scientists have found that the Moon is moving away from us — at about an inch and a half per year. That recession is a result of the tides. The Moon's gravity raises tides in the oceans, while Earth's gravity raises smaller tides in the solid surface of the Moon. The combination causes Earth to rotate a bit slower, and the Moon to move a bit farther away. In the case of Jupiter, the "inch" is related not to its distance, but its size. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system — about 11 times Earth's diameter, and more than 300 times our planet's mass. Such a massive object produces a strong gravitational field. It's so powerful that it causes Jupiter to shrink — by about an inch per year. Look for Jupiter and the Moon climbing into good view around midnight, and high in the sky at first light. More about the Moon tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield, Copyright 2014 For more skywatching tips, astronomy news, and much more, read StarDate magazine.
Ancient Lakebed
Ancient rocks are stacked like the layers of a cake in this recent image from the Curiosity rover on Mars. Mission scientists say the layers probably formed several billion years ago, at or near the mouth of a river, as the river deposited sediments carried from up stream. The images confirm that Curiosity's surroundings, inside a large crater, were once warm and wet, providing a possible habitat for life. This image, which is in false color, spans about five feet, so each rock layer is no more than an inch or two thick.

When a supply capsule docked with the International Space Station a couple of months ago, its cargo included something that had never been to space before: a 3D printer. Astronauts are checking it out to see how it works in microgravity, and making sure it's safe. 3D printing builds objects one layer at a time. A laser or electron beam fuses together the raw materials, from paper to plastic to metal. The technology uses fewer raw materials than conventional technology, and can cut manufacturing time and costs. It's already being used to make models, prototypes, works of art, and other objects. 3D printing could be a critical technology for starshipsSpace scientists are using the technology as well. NASA recently made fuel injectors for a new booster rocket that way, and they passed an early test firing. And in the future, small satellites may be made entirely on 3D printers. And in the far future, the technology may be used to make everything from food to replacement parts on Mars expeditions and other long-duration missions, like a slower version of the replicators found on the starships of the Star Trek universe. And if we ever build real starships, 3D printing or its follow-on technologies could be critical. Taking enough spare parts for all of a ship's systems would add a lot of weight. With 3D printing and recycling, a crew could start out with tanks full of raw ingredients, then make anything it needed on the way — making it a little bit easier to reach the stars.

Printing Stars
NASA and other space agencies have long offered paper models of their spacecraft. Just print out the plans, cut them out, and fold them up to make your own Mars rover or other probe. But the European Space Agency recently took the model building to a whole new level of detail. It posted detailed overviews of the comet that's being studied by its Rosetta mission. Download them, manipulate them with the right software, and print out a fully realistic solid model of the comet. There's only one minor drawback: you need a 3D printer. 3D printing builds an object layer by layer, using a variety of materials — from paper to plastic to metal. It's becoming popular in everything from art to manufacturing, because it makes it possible to build intricate objects more easily than with conventional techniques. So far, it's mainly used for making models and prototypes, but it could one day be a popular method of mass production. It offers advantages for science as well. Astronomers can build 3D models of comets, dying stars, magnetic fields, and other things that are normally seen only in two dimensions. That helps them understand how such objects form and evolve. 3D printing is likely to be especially helpful to space exploration. Engineers could put together spacecraft components — and even entire satellites — in one operation. They could also build parts that otherwise would be impossible to make. We'll have more about that tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield, Copyright 2014 For more skywatching tips, astronomy news, and much more, read StarDate magazine.
Rising Dipper
If you're in the southern half of the United States, you can look for something a bit unusual in the early evening sky over the next few weeks: the Big Dipper rising. Like all the stars in the northern sky, those of the Big Dipper constantly wheel around the North Star, Polaris, as Earth spins on its axis. The stars of the Dipper are closer to the North Star than most, though, so they make a tight loop around it. From the northern U.S. — cities like Seattle and Minneapolis — Polaris is so high in the sky that the Dipper never sets. It scoots low above the northern horizon, but never quite dips below it. As you head south, though, the North Star drops lower and lower in the sky — and so does the Dipper. From the latitude of Denver, the star at the tip of the Dipper's handle disappears. And by the time you get as far south as Dallas, almost the entire Dipper scoops below the horizon. Even so, it doesn't remain out of sight for long. From Dallas, for example, most of the Dipper is below the horizon as night falls this evening. But the bowl climbs into view low in the north-northeast by about 10 o'clock. And the handle clears the horizon after midnight — returning the entire Dipper to view. The Dipper rotates higher in the sky during the rest of the night, and stands high in the north at dawn. Its bowl is upside down, so it looks like it's pouring its contents down on the North Star — the constant hub of the northern sky.

Disappearing Triangle
Summer is long gone, and winter's just a couple of weeks away. Yet one of the signature star patterns of summer remains in good view in the evening sky. The Summer Triangle is well up in the west at nightfall. Its brightest point is the star Vega, about a third of the way up the sky. Deneb stands directly above it, with Altair well to the left of Vega. Deneb represents the tail of Cygnus, the swan. At this time of year, though, the swan is nose-diving toward the horizon. In this position, the star pattern looks more like a crucifix, so it's also known as the Northern Cross. It stands directly atop the horizon around 10 o'clock. Every star and constellation has its own season. That's because there's a difference in the time it takes the Sun and the other stars to return to the same position in the sky. The background stars — those we see at night — return to the same position every 23 hours and 56 minutes. But in that span, Earth moves a good distance in its orbit around the Sun. As a result, it takes four minutes longer for the Sun to return to the same position in the sky. The difference means that the distant stars all rise and set four minutes earlier each night, or two hours each month. The Summer Triangle first appears at nightfall around the start of summer. Over the following months it climbs high overhead, then drops down the western sky in autumn and into early winter — a remnant of the warmer months of summer.

Moon and Aldebaran
The full Moon stages a close conjunction with the bright star Aldebaran tonight. At their closest, they'll be separated by less than the width of your finger held at arm's length. Aldebaran is 65 light-years away. In other words, it takes light 65 years to cross from Aldebaran to Earth, so we see the star as it looked 65 years ago. Today, though, astronomers typically use another unit to measure the distances to stars and galaxies: the parsec. The name is a contraction of "parallax second." An object that's one parsec away has a parallax of one second of arc. Parallax is a tiny back-and-forth shift in a star's apparent position against the background of more-distant stars when it's viewed from different angles. It's like looking at an object that's close to you with first one eye, then the other — the object appears to jump back and forth a bit compared to objects that are farther away. Astronomers measure parallax by looking at a star when Earth is on opposite sides of the Sun. The star shifts a tiny bit between the two views. The size of the shift reveals the star's distance — the wider the angle, the closer the star. In the case of Aldebaran, the angle tells us that the star is 20 parsecs away. Again, watch Aldebaran tonight as it snuggles close to the full Moon. The orange "eye" of Taurus is below the Moon as they rise. The two are closest in the evening hours, with the Moon pulling away from Aldebaran after midnight.

On the human timescale, a star system seems eternal. It can last anywhere from a few million years to a few trillion. Even so, it can change in a hurry — especially when it's young. A couple of years ago, for example, astronomers were using Spitzer Space Telescope to keep an eye on a system in the constellation Vela. The system is less than one percent the age of the Sun. It's still surrounded by the building blocks of planets — chunks of rock and ice, plus clouds of dust. Astronomers hoped that watching the system would provide clues about how these materials come together to make planets. Spitzer had to avoid the star for a few months because it was lost in the glare of the Sun. When the telescope turned toward the system again, it detected a vast cloud of dust that hadn't been there before. It probably was the aftermath of a collision between two asteroids, which pulverized both of them. Yet that act of destruction is also part of the process of making rocky planets like Earth. Smaller chunks of rock stick together to make bigger chunks. If enough of them stick together, they make a planet. But it's a messy process. The rocks can collide too violently to stick together. Or a small rock can hit a larger one, blasting some of the material into space. Or two large ones can hit, creating a field of debris that coalesces to form a moon — something that happened to Earth when our own solar system was young.

Tiny Star, Big Outburst
A powerful outburst of energy and charged particles erupts from one of the stars of DG Canum Venaticorum in this artist's concept. The outburst, which was recorded by an X-ray satellite, was 10,000 times stronger than any ever recorded on the Sun. DG Canum consists of two red-dwarf stars, each of which is much smaller, cooler, and fainter than the Sun. The companion star is depicted at top left. [NASA/GSCF/S.

Wine Pairings for Spaghetti alla Carbonara (Bacon and Eggs)
By Garrubbo Guide on October 27, 2011
Wine Pairings for Spaghetti Carbonara (Bacon and Eggs)
Bianco: Monastero Suore Cistercensi Coenobium and Paolo Bea Santa Chiara Rosso: Paolo Bea Montefalco Rosso Vigna San Valentino and Paolo Bea Rosso de Veó
Spaghetti Carbonara is simultaneously rich and light. That, of course, varies with your own riff on it. Nonetheless, what it needs is a wine that is equally middling – medium to full body, at least a hint of glycerol and fairly firm acidic support. Paolo Bea's wine style fits all of these requirements. Bea is based in Umbria, the only landlocked region of "The Boot," and Paolo's son, Giampiero, consults to a monastery run by Cistercian nuns in near-by Lazio. These two cellars can provide a satisfying array of white and red wines for this pasta.
The nuns' white wine is called Coenobium and one of Bea's whites is called Santa Chiara. Both are highly unique in that they are fermented on their skins (usually this is only done for rosato and rosso wines). This gives the wines an additional oomph of tannins that works well in matching the Carbonara. Both wines share the floral Grechetto variety and are blends: Malvasia, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc for the Coenobium and Verdicchio and Trebbiano Toscano for the Santa Chiara. They are creamy on the palate, too – just like the Carbonara. Oh, and don't let the lightly orange color of the Coenobium disturb you. It's intentional! Check out my recent post on orange wines to learn more about this style; these are whites that tend to drink a bit more like reds.
The nuns don't make a red, but Bea makes two wines particularly fitting for this dish. First is the easy drinking Montefalco Rosso Vigna San Valentino, a blend of Sangiovese, Montepulciano and Sagrantino, aged exclusively in stainless steel. Second, his red Rosso de Veó is 100% Sagrantino, indigenous to Umbria, aged in stainless steel and old barrels. This is yet another pasta that won't find harmony with very much new oak; a tiny bit can work with the pork, but only a tiny bit.
Be warned, all of these wines are distractingly drinkable, so if you like to sip while you cook, be sure to have more than one on hand for the table!
Check out our recipe for Spaghetti alla Carbonara and our About post on the history behind the dish.
Cin cin!

While best known for his television role as Tony Soprano, James Gandolfini (who died yesterday at the age of 51 of a suspected cardiac arrest in Italy) had also carved out an impressive cinematic career, especially in supporting roles.
Before taking on his eight-year stint on the game-changing HBO crime-drama, the New Jersey-born James J Gandolfini Jnr featured in a variety of films like True Romance, Crimson Tide, Get Shorty, The Juror and Fallen. Then as the wave of acclaim surrounding The Sopranos really hit in 2001, he provided the dramatic meat in the Brad Pitt and Julie Roberts-starring oddball crime-comedy The Mexican, as well as playing Big Dave Brewster in the Coen brothers' beautifully atmospheric The Man Who Wasn't There.
Three years later, a team-up with Ben Affleck for Surviving Christmas was less successful, while a leading role as a man torn between choosing Susan Sarandon and Kate Winslet in Jon Turturro's Romance and Cigarettes was mainly notable for him and the rest of the cast lip-synching to multiple tunes:
Post-Sopranos, he'd developed a John Goodman-esque reputation of being a scene stealer, with some of his most memorable turns as an American general in Armando Iannucci's The Thick of It big-screen spinoff In the Loop, the Mayor in Tony Scott's The Taking of Pelham 123 remake and a contract killer with issues in last year's Killing Them Softly, where he again found himself opposite Pitt.
Gandolfini also put his vocal talents to good use for the role of Carole in Spike Jonze's splendidly bonkers take on classic children's tale Where the Wild Things Are.
Last seen here as a CIA director in Kathryn Bigelow's Osama assassination reconstruction Zero Dark Thirty, Gandolfini may still appear on DVD here in "illusionist" comedy The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and in cinemas in Nicole Holofcener's (Please Give) latest movie Enough Said, opposite Julia-Louis Dreyfus and Toni Collette. He'd also just finished filming a Denis Lehane (Mystic River)-penned crime drama Animal Rescue, which also stars Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace.
He will be sadly missed.
But what are your most abiding memories of James Gandolfini? And what were your favourite non-Soprano Gandolfini performances?

Canada's bachelor to be announced Tuesday on live TV
Citytv will announce who will be the nation's bachelor live at 8:10 a.m. on BT. They've revealed a few clues so far. Do you know who it is?
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The Great White North's very own bachelor will be unveiled Tuesday morning on Breakfast Television. Citytv has been counting down to the official reveal at 8:10 a.m., when the new bachelor will sit down with CityLine host Tracy Moore for an interview, with video clues on the Bachelor Canada website. Day by day, a bit of a picture of his face has been revealed, too.
So far we know he has dark hair, is a Libra and his favourite sport is hockey. He's a dog guys and recently attended a Killers concert. He also speaks a little French and his favourite team in the NHL is the Montreal Canadiens. (Could this mean he's from Quebec?)
Bachelor Canada premieres on Citytv in the fall. The buzz leading up to the show has been non-stop since it was announced that Canada would get its own version of popular U.S. show — red roses, hot tubs and all. But this won't be the first time the series, in which a group of single men or women compete for the attention and, ultimately, the final rose and marriage proposal from the chosen bachelor or bachelorette, will have a touch of northern influence. Jesse Palmer, former NFL quarterback and Ottawa native, was the show's Season 5 bachelor, and Toronto resident Justin Rego competed for the heart of the sixth Bachelorette, Alli Fedotowski.
As Canada prepares to launch its version of the bachelor, the show's American producers are facing a class-action lawsuit filed by two former applicants for the show who allege ABC refused to cast people of colour in the roles of the bachelor and bachelorette. In 10 years, all 23 bachelors and bachelorettes have been white. The claimants' attorney calls it a civil rights issue.
The Canadian version of the show does not appear to have broken with the trend, but the clues provided don't give much away. Here's what we know so far:
Clue 1: "The first thing I notice on girls are either their teeth or their eyes."
Clue 2: "In my first job I was a janitor at a country club."
Clue 3: "I have small-town roots, but I love living in a big city."
Clue 4: "I don't usually use cheesy lines on girls but, 'What's up? How's it going? What's your name?' is probably one of my better ones."
Clue 5: Mon équipe favourite dans la NHL est les Canadiens de Montreal.
Do you know who he is? Want totake a guess? Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
Visit thestar.com Tuesday morning to learn the bachelor's identity, and more about him.

Doctors must obtain the consent of patients or their families before deciding to turn off or withhold life-preserving treatments, Canada's largest medical regulator says in a draft new policy that largely reshapes how end-of-life care is decided. The blueprint, to be released officially Thursday, contrasts with the existing advice offered by Ontario's College of Physicians & Surgeons - that doctors should avoid treatments they believe will be of no benefit or harmful to a gravely ill patient.

Couple celebrate 65 years together
Relevant offers
She did not want to go on the first date, but she did anyway.
Martin and Vera McAtear celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary at Walmsley House in Invercargill surrounded by friends and family yesterday.
"He asked me out, and I didn't really want to go," Mrs McAtear said.
"Afterwards, he took my arm. That was a big deal back then. If somebody took your arm, you knew it was serious."
Mr McAtear spent 15 on an engagement ring.
"It was a lot of money back then," he said.
The couple moved to New Zealand from Scotland in 1964 to join other members of their family.
"We have three children, 11 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. I think we might be finished now," Mrs McAtear said.
Mr McAtear, 88, and Mrs McAtear, 91, planned to spend the remainder of the afternoon enjoying live music from a group of accordion players followed by afternoon tea, and maybe a sherry or two.
Mrs McAtear's advice for couples hoping for a happy marriage?
"If you never argue, there's something wrong."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Pinball wizards: Have a ball in Seattle
SEATTLE -- For $13, you can play pinball until your arms fall off at Seattle's working pinball museum.
The two-storey storefront in Seattle's International District is filled with games from every era from the 1960s to today.
The museum, which houses about 50 or so machines, started in 2010 as one couple's obsession and grew to be something they wanted to share with others, or as Cindy Martin puts it: a good solution when they ran out of space in their garage.
"Any serious collector will tell you collecting these machines is an incurable disease," said Charlie Martin, her husband and business partner.
They keep the equipment fixed up -- with some help from other collectors -- offer brief historical information and "fun" ratings on small cards above the games and sell snacks, beer and soda to visitors from around the world.
The Seattle museum is one of a handful around the U.S. celebrating a pastime that seems to be in the midst of revival.
In addition to the look back at pinball through the ages, the 1,900-square-foot space also features a glimpse of the future. In December, four one-of-a-kind artist-made machines were on display and -- of course -- were playable.
The Martins own dozens more pinball machines and constantly move machines in and out. The oldest machine in the building was made in 1963, but they have a few from the 1930s they keep at home.
The Martins continue to buy the newest pinball machines on the commercial market and just installed a Star Trek game. Many of their machines are limited edition models, but games enthusiasts are also likely to find a favourite machine from their youth.
The museum, which isn't a non-profit, averages about 15,000 visitors a year. It isn't a profitable operation, although Charlie Martin said they're "holding steady."
Both Charlie and Cindy Martin also continue to work full-time jobs.
It's smaller and less well-known than the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas or the Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda, Calif., but Charlie Martin said they're happy staying small.
"We're very comfortable with where we're at right now," he said. "We don't want a mob scene."
A couple from the Seattle area spending a day holiday shopping in Seattle and acting like tourists made a stop at the museum recently.
"This was the No. 1 thing we wanted to do," said Lisa Nordeen, of Kirkland, Wash.
She and her husband John spent two hours at the museum, as long as their parking meter allowed and until they started thinking about lunch.
Richard Dyer, a University of Washington law student from Chicago, brought out-of-town visitors to the museum.
"It's very Seattle to me," Dyer said.

Highlights add an extra touch of elegance to tresses without the expense of buying diamond-encrusted bobby pins or commissioning a chandelier-shaped updo. Class up coifs with today's Groupon: for $32, you get a haircut (up to an $18 value) and full highlights (a $50 value) at Tricoci University (up to a $68 total value). This deal is valid at the Chicago Northeast and Chicago Northwest locations.
At Tricoci University, student-stylists enlist a variety of high-end Redken products to transform coifs under instructors' close supervision. Strand scholars carefully chisel surplus hair to meet patron specifications and amusement-park-ride height restrictions. Professional-grade-coloring solutions subtly elevate 'dos to high-style glamour as beautifiers weave a full heads' worth of highlights in between indigenous hues. The service lasts two hours, and the $5 appointment fee and the customary pop quiz on the history of scrunchies is waived for Groupon customers.
Tricoci University
On a trip to Chicago from his native Italy, young Mario Tricoci changed his life forever. The fledgling hairdresser stopped in at a prestigious salon, where he impressed the owner with his impeccable display of skill and landed himself a job. The next six decades brought strings of industry awards and the opening of his very own salon, which soon exploded into 26 locations in four states. With his styling prowess proven both to the industry and to the clients he encountered each day, the coiffeur decided to share his gift with others. In 2004, he established Tricoci University to foster a new generation of cosmetologists and spa technicians trained to thrive in the luxury-spa industry.
Throughout the Midwest, Tricoci protégés study a rigorous curriculum in high-end salon and spa surroundings to learn how to create beautiful hairdos, choose skin-flattering cosmetics, and beautify nails and skin. A team of experienced industry professionals readies pupils for the beauty world with in-depth classes, and outside education arrives via video demonstrations and guest-artist lectures on Vidal Sassoon's Wedge-Bob Postulate. More advanced students get a preview of their career to come by beautifying real people during instructor-supervised treatments, which lend the stylist essential experience as the client enjoys a pampering session at a discounted rate.
