A teacher opens a time capsule that has been dug up at his son's elementary school; in it are some chilling predictions -- some that have already occurred and others that are about to -- that lead him to believe his family plays a role in the events that are about to unfold.

Knowing the last total lunar eclipse for the next three years was occurring this morning, but also being aware that from our vantage point here in the eastern part of the US it would not only occur at an extremely inconvenient time, near sunrise, but therefore would also be placed extremely low in the west; and thus unobservable from the observatory which I built at my home here in upstate, NY.
Given it's time & location in the sky, combined with yesterday's weather predictions for our area - that were at best questionable with clouds predicted to roll in - my optimism for witnessing this event was beginning to wane. Most all the weather models predicted that clouds would move in, but varied somewhat as to exactly when, and of course to what degree the sky would be cloud covered during the event. Nevertheless, trying to remain an eternal optimist when it comes to such things, I set the alarm for 3:30 AM just in case.
Upon walking out onto my back deck a bit bleary-eyed, I was pleasantly surprised to find perfectly clear skies with the moon still fairly high above the western tree line of our woods. I had previously considered traveling this morning to a spot further north, but upon seeing a cloudless sky here, as the saying goes I figured 'there's no place like home' ;) .
Quickly setting two of our more portable 'grab-and-go' scopes in the front yard to get the lowest view I could have of the western horizon, I preceded to attach a camera to each and began shooting. Much to my delight the clouds held off and it enabled me to capture several images with each scope; a selection of which are included in the attached composite.
Taking the time to observe it visually during totality using a wonderful pair of Oberwerk binoculars I won at the Cherry Springs Star Party raffle this summer, the view was absolutely stunning ! Glowing a beautiful reddish-orange and looking three-dimensional against a velvety-black background studded with stars; it appeared as if it was the topping on a xmas tree as it hung suspended above a massive distant pine tree seen in silhouette.
Viewed with the unaided eye, the scene showed the Pleiades star cluster high above the eclipsed moon, while the stars of Orion's belt lay horizontal to the horizon, blazing brightly on the moon's left. The scene became even more dramatic as the sun began to rise and I could see the reddish-orange glow of the totally eclipsed moon as it set in the west while simultaneously watching the impending sunrise's pinkish glow grow ever brighter in the east. It was a spectacular sight !
As noted on the attached composite, the images utilized a combination of of two identical, unmodded Canon 700D DSLRs, a Canon 350D DSLR, two 80mm refractors and two zoom lenses (a back story of the construction of the scope shown at left can be found at the link attached here -
www.flickr.com/photos/homcavobservatory/49861296306/in/al... ). As presented the images have been reduced to eight bits per channel and the entire composite has been resized down to HD.
As the sky continued bright with the coming dawn, I decided to take a quick trip north to the highest point of elevation in this area. Upon arriving, it became apparent that my choice to stay at my home was indeed fortuitous as the clouds had already rolled in from the northwest. Looking east I was presented with an incredibly colored sunrise, and spent the next few minutes taking some quick images as I listened to a wonderful version of Yes's classic 'Close To The Edge'. It was an excellent way to start a wonderful day !
I hope others got to see this beautiful event.
Wishing clear, dark & calm skies to all !
Knowing that the QUBE train with 2 1100's were soon to depart Broadmedow yard, it was surprising to see FL220 accelerating up the yard to attach to the front of the train. This produced a very interesting combo heading down the short north towards Sydney!

Kangna's Fashion Secrets.....

Panchi
Do you have an inherent sense of style? I always loved dressing up, even as
a child. Back in Manali, people often considered my dress sense unique,
sometimes outrageous. I think, true style is all about knowing yourself. One
should never get carried away by a brand name. Instead, they should focus on
understanding what works for them, what mood they are in, what the occasion
is, what suits them physically and so on.(Text courtesy: The Indian Express)

Panchi
Do you find yourself browsing through fashion magazines very often? I do
look them up for hairstyles, make-up trends et al. It's part of an actor's
job to look fashionable and be in style. But I don't get things I see in
magazines replicated though I did do that sometimes as a teenager.
_____
Panchi
How did you manage to feed your passion when you were in your hometown? I
used to shop a lot, even in those days. My grandfather really spoilt me. My
great grandfather is 105 years old. He was a minister for 15 years and a
freedom fighter before that. So he had a relatively big pension, and I was
his absolute favourite. I'd get that as pocket money and shop with it.

Panchi
What do you find yourself most comfortable in? I don't think fashion is
about comfort. You have to choose between fashion and comfort. As an actor,
it is my job to look stylish, be it with short dresses or high heels. But in
my personal space, I love wearing dresses since I find them comfortable.
_____
Panchi
What do you spend most on? Handbags. Seriously, one bag can be so expensive.
But then a bag also goes with you all the time.
_____
Panchi
Where do you usually shop? I shop abroad mostly, when I holiday or when I am
on an outdoor shooting schedule. The prices of international brands vary so
much depending on the location. For instance, the same brand may cost you
more in London or Milan than in Dubai or the USA. I even shop off the
streets in the US and Bangkok.

Panchi
Who is your fashion icon and which designers do you admire? Victoria Beckham
and Rihanna are very cool they have an inherent sense of style. I also
admire Angelina Jolie's casual chic. In India, Rita Dhodhy dresses really
well. Among designers, I love Chanel, DandG and Moschino. Sabyasachi
Mukherji's work is very admirable too.

Panchi
Are you a shopaholic? Yes, but I keep my expenditure within my budget,
usually.

Panchi
What all is on your fashion must-haves list? In the summers, I'd say linen
pants, dresses and skirts. Everyone should have a nice white linen dress in
their closet.

Panchi
What's the most priceless posession in your wardrobe? On my birthday, my
mother gave me a Pashmina shawl, which is worth lakhs. It's made of a
special fur and is from Manali it's something I'll never find anywhere else
in the world.

Panchi
What's your take on saris as a fashion garment? I don't really have a taste
for saris. I'm from the mountains and nobody wears saris there since they
are difficult to carry. Even my mother rarely wore a sari. But I do have
some occasion-wear.
_____
Panchi
Do you mix and match your outfits or keeping to the reputation of a diva,
you would not repeat? I wear whatever I want. But it's unfair of the media
to pressurise actors on that front. I mean, why should anyone not repeat
their clothes?

Luv / Panchi.....
Knowing others were watching, she struck a pose offering a smouldering glance back at the observer for just a moment before moving on down the beach as if daring them to snap that image in time.... so I did.
I dance my way toward the family of knowing,
embracing stray error as a long-lost boy
and bringing him home with my fluttering...

Bittersweet day - this was our last day at the Texas Renaissance Festival for this season. It's always sad knowing we won't see a lot of our friends for another year. Despite that, it was a good day - not too hot or humid. Good people to shoot with and good shows to check out. Life is good!
I took these photos in mid-November 2017.

Knowing Dave Birchall's hatred of the RM, fill in the blanks as to what he might be saying here.........
Knowing this would be my last night in Chiang Mai, I went to the sunday night market. Again, lots of cool art (more artists showed up for this). There was a band playing some really trippy music (with a dijiridou). The food was off the charts! Mango with sticky rice, noodle soup, coconut water, fruit juice, I just kept eating. Then I stopped by the temple which has a really nice massage for 150 baht and it's legit. I got a shoulder and neck massage for the night and that was it.

Chinese Mythology - gui 龜 "turtle"
The turtle (gui 龜) is an auspicious animal in ancient China. It is said in the book Zhongxuanji 中玄記 that a thousand years of turtle is able to communicate with humans. In the age of one thousand years a turtle grows hair, as the Shuyiji 述異記 says. A five thousand years old turtle is called shengui 神龜 "divine turtle", an animal older thatn ten thousand years is called linggui 靈龜 "spiritual turtle".
The black turtle xuangui 玄龜, wugui 烏龜 or xuanwu 玄武, or "turtle-snake" guishe 龜蛇 is the symbol of the north, darkness and winter.
Other auspicious animals are phoenix (fenghuang 鳳凰), unicorn (qilin 麒麟) and dragon (long 龍).

In China the traditional Chinese character symbolizing the turtle (龜) shows a head like that of a snake at the top, to the middle left of the paws, to the middle right of the shell, and at the bottom of the tail. According to the "Book of ceremonies", the single-horned rhino, phoenix, tortoise, and dragon are the four entities that possess spirit. Tortoise shells were used for divination during the ancient Chinese Shang Dynasty and carry the earliest specimens of Chinese writing. Some Chinese are of the opinion that their script was taken from the signs on the back of the tortoise.
For the Chinese, the tortoise is sacred and symbolizes longevity, power, and tenacity. It is said that the tortoise helped Pangu (also known as P'an Ku) create the world: the creator goddess Nuwa or Nugua cuts the legs off a sea turtle and uses them to prop up the sky after Gong Gong destroys the mountain that had supported the sky. The flat plastron and domed carapace of a turtle parallel the ancient Chinese idea of a flat earth and domed sky.[26] For the Chinese as well as the Indians, the tortoise symbolizes the universe. Quoting Pen T'sao, "the upper dome-shaped part of its back has various signs, which correspond with the constellations on the sky, and this is Yan; the lower part has many lines, which relate to the earth and is the Yin.[7]
The tortoise is one of the "Four Fabulous Animals",[2] the most prominent beasts of China. These animals govern the four points of the compass, with the Black Tortoise the ruler of the north, symbolizing endurance, strength, and longevity.[27] The tortoise and the tiger are the only real animals of the four, although the tortoise is depicted with supernatural features such as dragon ears, flaming tentacles at its shoulders and hips, and a long hairy tail representing seaweed and the growth of plant parasites found on older tortoise shells that flow behind the tortoise as it swims. The Chinese believe that tortoises come out in the spring when they change their shells, and hibernate during the winter, which is the reason for their long life.[7]
The Chinese Imperial Army carried flags with images of dragons and tortoises as symbols of unparalleled power and inaccessibility, as these animals fought with each other but both remained alive. The dragon cannot break the tortoise and the latter cannot reach the dragon.[7] In China, the tortoise was also called the Black warrior, standing as a symbol of power, tenacity, and longevity, as well as that of north and winter. A tortoise was often put at the base of burial monuments. Legend holds that the wooden columns of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing were built on the shells of live tortoises since people thought that these animals were capable of living for more than 3000 years without food or water and are adorned with a magical power that prevents wood from rotting.
It was considered that the tortoise does not remember the day and month of its birth so calling someone a "tortoise" in China was considered offensive.
In Tibet, the tortoise is a symbol of creativity.[7]
The tortoise is of the feng shui water element [28] with the tiger, phoenix, and dragon representing the other three elements. According to the principles of feng shui the rear of the home is represented by the Black Tortoise, which signifies support for home, family life, and personal relationships. A tortoise at the back door of a house or in the backyard by a pond is said to attract good fortune and many blessings. Three tortoises stacked on top of each other represent a mother and her babies.[28] In Daoist art, the tortoise is an emblem of the triad of earth-humankind-heaven.[29]
The tortoise is a symbol of longevity, with a potential lifespan of ten thousand years.[2] Due to its longevity, a symbol of a turtle was often used during burials. A burial mound might be shaped like a turtle, and even called a "grave turtle." A carved turtle, known as bixi was used as a plinth for memorial tablets of high-ranking officials during the Sui Dynasty (581-618 CE) and the Ming periods (1368-1644 CE). Enormous turtles supported the memorial tablets of Chinese emperors[27] and support the Kangxi Emperor's stele near Marco Polo Bridge in Beijing, China. Tortoise shells were used for witchcraft and future forecasting. There are innumerable tales on the longevity of the tortoises and their ability to transform into other forms.[7]
My friend Tony Sorrentino is coming out with an album (The Art of Knowing) and he's holding an instagram contest asking people to instagram photos inspired by the song titles on his upcoming album. this is my first entry.
Knowing this guy because of the scars on his hip and shoulder. Hard to believe that he was a 12 pointer a few weeks agp.
Sign Drop is the most dramatic time in a Rangerettes life. There is great loss because many girls won't make it. There is pure elation because nearly 30 girls out of 200 will make it.
I'm teaching poetry at the moment. My class has noticed that all the poems we're studying are depressing. I was hoping that they wouldn't notice. Amidst all the misery, images of the sun are often wheeled out. You can see the sun above me. I decided to give it an All-Knowing Eye.
There is a distinct golden quality to my again totally thrifted & mainly remixed outfit. Oh, I just realised that the necklaces were bought new at 'Diva', so I can't send this to the 100% Thrifted Pool. Drats!
I now have three different tops like this, but this is my favourite so far. Bangles were a gift from a Student Teacher. She gave me about twenty.
