Found a blog to share. Justin Glow
Found on Netscape since my MS E doesn't show websites properly, though they bug me it does allow me to see cool things as they are supposed to be. I found this keen blog. He has weird and interesting things. I am going back to see what else he has. He finds things from around the world. Like in Japan people are cutting out their meal from what looks like cadavors. Who dreamed that one? And who thought it was a good idea?
Well tonight is the event and I am sitting thinking I forgot something tonight. How could I be so distracted? I am comforting one of my girls who was spayed. I tried to bring her back into the fold of her family and they were not nice at all to her. Luckily we know how they are to eachother no matter how wonderful they are to me. I am trying to get the vet smell off her so they will be less likely to beat her up? But I think she has to wait till she is not herself. Though they did say she was fiesty there! After a night with a barking dog, which she didn't like. I said she has sisters just like her! Oh they are going to have fun with them, too. Each month I am doing one as it is very noisy, to say the least of what happens when females are in heat! And the boys don't want to meet their demands so they get bitten and beaten up! Gosh! Well back to what we are here for. Sharing!
-=- I liked finding this blog. He knows how to link to things in words. Something I would like to learn! He is fun and interesting. Even if he misses something he shares it with you so that you can catch it next time. And he will admit when he has not tried something. -=-
March 3: Total Lunar Eclipse - A Viewing Guide:
Posted Feb 22nd 2007 10:55AM by Justin Glow Filed under: Learning
Depending on where you happen to be this coming March 3rd (save perhaps Alaska or Eastern Australia), there's a pretty good chance you'll be able to catch the full lunar eclipse, when Earth blocks most of the sunlight to the moon so that it appears a dark red-orange haze. I've collected some hints, tips and tools to ensure you maximize your eclipse viewing experience no matter where you are:
Find the right time for your location. Have a look at the chart above (click to make it larger if you need to) -- where will you be on March 3? I'll be in North America (Las Vegas to be specific) so the eclipse will occur at moonrise. If you're in Asia or Australia, the eclipse will be visible at moonset. If you're in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, the eclipse will happen late at night, after moonrise but before moonset when the sky is at its darkest.
When does the moon set or rise on March 3? Well, that depends on where you are! Luckily they have everything on the Internet, including this form to put in your location and get the exact time the moon will rise and set. Plugging in Las Vegas tells me the moonrise will occur at 17:51 on March 3rd, or 5:51 pm for you citizens.
Now what? Okay, now that you know when the eclipse will be visible depending on where you are, how do you get the best view? If you're on the East Coast of North America you're in luck, as this is the best spot to see it. "Find a place with a clear view of the eastern horizon and station yourself there at sunset," says this guide from NASA. "As the sun goes down behind you, a red moon will rise before your eyes."
Capture the moment. If you'd like to try your hand at photographing the lunar eclipse, this guide from MrEclipse.com has everything you need. Don't worry, Mr. Eclipse promises it is "fun and easy!" If you take some good photos, be sure and share them on the Gadling Flickr pool. Who knows, maybe it will be selected as a photo of the day.
So don't forget: Saturday, March 3, 2007. Mark your calendars.

100 Places Every Woman Should Go (This might get me to travel by myself without a travel partner?)
Posted Mar 3rd 2007 4:26PM by Willy Volk Filed under: Activism, Cultures, Stories, Books
Hey, ladies, when you finish reading Wanderlust and Lipstick, here's another title for you:
100 Places Every Woman Should Go. Written by Stephanie Elizondo Griest, the book is meant to serve as both inspiration and guidebook. Divided into sections ("Places Where Women Made History," "Places of Indulgence," "Places of Adventure," etc.), the book documents places where being a woman is affirmed and confirmed, and where you will be energized and impassioned. Encouraging women of all ages to break out of their comfort zones and see the world -- in a group, with a friend, or solo -- 100 Places highlights 100 special destinations and challenging activities: from diving for pearls in Bahrain; to racing a camel across Mongolia; to dancing with voodoo priestesses in Benin; to taking a mud bath in a volcano off the coast of Colombia. I'm not a woman, and I think the list sounds pretty cool. Maybe I should pick up a copy "for my wife." If you want to learn more about Stephanie and her book, check out World Hum's excellent interview with her, or read the Q&A on her website. [Via Written Road] Read

Women's History Month: Susan B. Anthony's House

March is National Women's History Month. With this year's theme, "Generation's of Women Moving History Forward," here's a hooray to the house of the woman who gave the women's rights movement its early momentum.
Even though the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin isn't made anymore due to its lack of success, the Susan B. Anthony House in Rochester, N.Y. is a gem. Okay, I confess; I haven't been there, but I am a proud dues paying member. Susan B. Anthony, civil rights leader, women's rights activist and all around terrific gal was a close friend to Frederick Douglass. Between them, they helped change American history.
Anthony lived in this house when she was at her activist best. She was even arrested here after she voted. You have to love an upstart. Besides touring the house to see how she lived, there are exhibits that highlight her life and work. Each month there is a lecture and luncheon as well. If you don't have time to hop on over to Rochester any time soon, you can tour the house on the website. It's pretty nifty. Each room will come up and then the camera pans each.
In case you want a Susan B. Anthony dollar. Keep your eye out. The last 41,368,000 were minted in 1999, but they are still circulating.

SUBIOS, Seychelles' Annual Underwater Film and Image Festival (For my ocean lovers and scuba/snorklers.)
Posted Mar 2nd 2007 2:03PM by Jamie Rhein Filed under: Events, Africa, Seychelles
If you love the ocean, scuba diving, movies, island living and luxury than here is the perfect place for you. From March 19-25, SUBIOS, Seychelles' annual underwater film festival will take visitors on a unique excursion to the deep.
Expert cinematographers and photographers from around the world will guest speak about the work they do to capture underwater images in documentaries and exhibitions. This is a chance to be awestruck and inspired to do your own work--or simply marvel at other people's.
A photography and video competition are also part of this event. Unfortunately, the deadline for this year's entries was yesterday, but you can keep this in mind for a next year possibility as a way to showcase your talents. Use this year to get an idea of what kind of talent you are up against. From the looks of the photos on the website, the competion looks steep. Did I say breathtakingly gorgeous?
If you can't make it to the Seychelles in the next few weeks, April/May and October/November are the best months for swimming, snorkelling and diving.
