    I would like to see each of theses beauties without ANY make-up,

    to see how naturally beautiful they are.

    Make-up and air-brush make people appear beautiful enough......

  3. A friend of mine told me that the 2010 Chev. V8 Camero that he ordered will be made in Canada. Ottawa, I believe. It's due to be deliverd in June or July 2009. He said that initially, none of the Chev. 2010 Cameros will be made in the USA.... And that Chev. chose the Canadian plant to assemle the Cameros because they wanted one of the best plants in NA to do it.

  4. So you can just use ordinary binoculars? Don't you need a telescope or something?

    When you want to look at a large field of view in the night sky, a telescope's power will usually narrow the field too much, so that you cannot see that wide a field.

    But, ordinary binoculars will get that field nicely. I suggest 50mm binoculars, 7X or 10X.

    There's comes a point when the binoculars become too heavy/big to hold steady.

    People have made or bought stands for their large binoculars. Some of the stands adapt nicely to the viewer being in a reclined position, as in a lawn chair, looking high up into the night sky.

    The best instrument to scan the Milky Way is binoculars.

    Also, when meteor showers are happening, you can best track them with binoculars.

    You can spend under a $100 for some nice binoculars.....

    But, like anything related to lenses, there are very finely made binoculars that cost over a $1000.

  5. this might make me v unpopular :unsure:

    does anyone else, other than me, think pink floyd are probably the most overrated band in the world?

    listening to their albums from 68 through to the final cut (i dont count the ones without roger waters as they are completely dire) it strikes me there are only 3 good ones out of the whole bunch.

    their early ones are just a lot of un-melodic noise and the later ones (the wall side 4 on vinyl and the final cut) just a weak attempt at some kind of brass band opera style pomp.

    dark side of the moon is good BUT not that good, wish you were here and the first 3 sides of the wall are probably the only good stuff they ever released.

    it amazes me how they are consistently put up there with Zeppelin as one of the greatest bands in history.

    just listening to their drummer is enough to put you off

    anyone got any thoughts on this?

    Pink Flyod's live performances, along with their good studio work, is what allows them to be in the category of world's greatest rock bands.

    None of the music that is considered un-melodic nosie will ever change my opinion of them.

    My opinion of the greatness of PF is without......WITHOUT considering their double-album THE WALL.

    They deserve the recognition....... and they are not the most overrated band in the world.....

    I don't know who that title would go to...

  6. December night sky: deep winter darkness is best for stargazing

    Some of the year’s best observing can be found under the dark skies and early nights of December, a month marked this year by a series of conjunctions and the return of Saturn to full prominence. Any clear night brings a chance to glimpse the winter sky, but look particularly for those days when the sky is a dark, deep blue. This is a sign of good “seeing”, the steady, haze-free atmosphere that astronomers crave.

    The first, and most spectacular, of the conjunctions takes place the evening of Monday, December 1, 2008, when the Moon, Jupiter and Venus put on a celestial show. The Moon will be a crescent low down in the south west, with Jupiter just two degrees above it. The real action starts, though, at 15.46 (in London; allow ten minutes either way elsewhere in the country) when Venus slips behind the Moon.

    The event therefore starts just before sunset, but the Moon should be obvious and Venus a naked-eye object just off the Moon’s dark limb. Jupiter, at magnitude -1.8 compared with Venus’s -4.0 (as with golf handicaps, the brightest stars have the lowest numbers), will be harder to see, but should still be visible in binoculars. If you do use an optical aid, be very careful to keep the Sun out of the field of view; even the weak December sun is very dangerous.

    The occultation ends with Venus emerging from the bright side of the Moon at 17.16 (in London), by which time the sky should be dark. If clouds intervene this evening, you can still enjoy the sight of the Moon’s close approach to Jupiter and faint, fleeting Mercury very low down on the 29th at about 17.00, or to Venus much higher in the sky at the same time on New Year’s Eve.
