This should actually be under "Beautiful Snakes" :

The mixes are the ones from the "Chrome, Smoke and BBQ" box set, newly remastered from the original tapes, and not the old Six Pack 'echoey 80s drums' mixes. That means they sound like they did on the original vinyl, not like the Six-Pack or the individual CD's which were controversially remixed.

Richard Wagner Yes, Mozart and Beethoven have much good music to listen to. I also like Bach, espcially his organ works. What I like most about Classical Muisc, is how Classical Muisc is used to a good effect in movies. My favorite Classical Compser is Germany's Richard Wagner (pronounced "Vaughner"). Esquire magazine once did a piece back in 1977 on classical music and how it relates to rock music lovers. They said you could expect to find fans of Heavy Metal at the Opera. They set up a photo of a kid wearing a Led Zeppelin 1977 US Tour t-shirt, sitting in the balcony of an opera house, to illustrate the point. They did specifically mention the music of Wagner. The Wagner piece that EVERYONE already knows about is "Ride of the Valkyries", used in many films. My favorite piece however is from the Opera Götterdämmerung. It is Richard Wagner's "Siegfried's Funeral March". It was used very successfully and dramatically by Trever Jones in the sountrack for the 1981 John Boorman film EXCALIBUR. The film also used another German composer's music , Carl Orff's very famous "Camina Burana", which was alo used in Oliver Stone's movie about The Doors. My other most favorite classical piece used in film, is from "2001:A Space Odyssey". It is from Aram Khachaturian "Gayane's Adagio" from the Gayaneh ballet suite.

I saw the first 30-40 minutes of Disturbia and I just wanted to not that there is a Led Zppelin IV reference with the poster on the teens wall.... I don't think Shia is a lame actor. For what this movie is..... he does okay.

Ice sheet breaks loose off Canada July 30, 2008 EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -- A chunk of ice spreading across 18 square kilometers (seven square miles) has broken off a Canadian ice shelf in the Arctic, scientists said Tuesday. A chunk of ice is shown drifting after it separated from the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf off the coast of Ellesmere Island. Derek Mueller, a researcher at Trent University, was careful not to blame global warming, but said the event was consistent with the theory that the current Arctic climate isn't rebuilding ice sheets. "We're in a different climate now," he said. "It's not conducive to regrowing them. It's a one-way process." Mueller said the sheet broke away last week from the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf off the north coast of Ellesmere Island in Canada's far north. He said a crack in the shelf was first spotted in 2002 and a survey this spring found a network of fissures. The sheet is the biggest piece shed by one of Canada's six ice shelves since the Ayles shelf broke loose in 2005 from the coast of Ellesmere, about 500 miles from the North Pole. Formed by accumulating snow and freezing meltwater, ice shelves are large platforms of thick, ancient sea ice that float on the ocean's surface. Ellesmere Island was once entirely ringed by a single enormous ice shelf that broke up in the early 1900s. At 170 square miles and 130-feet thick, the Ward Hunt shelf is the largest of those remnants. Mueller said it has been steadily declining since the 1930s. Gary Stern, co-leader of an international research program on sea ice, said it's the same story all around the Arctic. Speaking from the Coast Guard icebreaker Amundsen in Canada's north, Stern said the Ward Hunt breakup is related to what he's seeing thousands of kilometers away. He hasn't seen any ice in weeks. Plans to set up an ice camp last February had to be abandoned when usually dependable ice didn't form for the second year in a row. "Nobody on the ship is surprised anymore," said Stern. "We've been trying to get the word out for the longest time now that things are happening fast and they're going to continue to happen fast." Many scientists now believe that the Arctic will have ice-free summers by 2013 instead of 2030 as predicted by the International Panel on Climate Change. "It's all connected to the warming climate. Everything is connected together," Stern said.

On the Big Island of Hawaii, I experienced the darkest skies ever, in my lifetime.....

Tonight's Features . . . . (Saturday, July 5th) Mars and Saturn are dancing close together for the next several nights. Look for them low in the west at nightfall. Tonight, they are to the upper left of the crescent Moon, with the star Regulus lining up between the Moon and the two planets. http://stardate.org/nightsky/almanac/ I have a pair of 7x50 Binolulars, and a 4 1/2" Reflector. I'm just an amatuer. I live in the city, so, there is no deep sky, nightime watching from my backyard. Mostly the Moon, and the Constellation of Orion, and some of the planets: Jupiter, Venus & Mars, and sometimes Saturn. Astronomy Clubs and socities can give you good oppourtunites to view the night sky with others' equipment, in the city, and at remote locations outside the city.

Bump for Newbies especially....
