How Can You Tell When Athletes Foot Is Healing

Monteromano the evening of 12/27/2010

On 27 ago, thanks una previsione meteo favorevole, ho accompagnato il mio amico Elio a vedere il nostro caro Osservatorio, con la sua nuova dotazione del telescopio Diemme. Con noi si sono aggiunti Alfredo e Matteo, oramai due colonne osservative che potrebbero essere chiamate "the Pillars of observations" :)

All'arrivo all'osservatorio ci aspettava una decina di cm di manto nevoso, spesso a sufficienza per impedirci di salire con la macchina fino al piazzale. Poco male, percorso a piedi l'ultimo tratto con il "crick crock" della neve siamo arrivati in cupola ed abbiamo cominciato a prepararci all'osservazioni con abbigliamento adeguato in virtù dei -4°C di temperatura...





The sky was rather cloudy at the beginning, but then during the night the cirrus clouds have gradually to decrease, giving us an interesting sky, and giving us chance to effetturare several photos is to fire Newton telescope, that even the Borg to f4.



Elio had a gorgeous Canon "full frame 5D Mark series, which proved to be significant for almost no grain at 1600 ISO, but we've seen to behave very well even at ISO 6400 ( get to 25,000!), while Matthew had with him his Nikon D300, already tested before.



Elio then was in his car (even better to say his brother Gino!) Several shots outside the observatory, with the sky that was changing all the time for the dance of the cirrus .


domes we started with a few clicks of the area of \u200b\u200bthe Orion Neboli made in detail by Matthew and off the field with the Canon of helium. When shooting off the field there has been passage of a satellite (?) would be interesting to see that passing objects in the sky at about 23 in a "swarm" in transit from east to west.






Orion After we directed to the Pleiades, which the Borg note with the sum of 10 exposures of 30 "nebulosity which surrounds them. Then we tried a few shots of Neboli Rosetta, but that the cirrus clouds made pocca attractive.


Then we had a great ride to the Great Bear, where we waited for M 106 and M81, the latter with its very interesting spiral structure facing forward, even if difficult to shoot short exposures ...


Then we closed the evening moving on to the M46 is pretty much direct heat, dominated by the planetary nebula, both wide-field, with a dense field of stars in which the right there is also the storage M47.



at 1: 45 with the moon already high, we closed the comments, from the temperature of a car that recorded freezing - 6 ° C temperature. Then back home with still see the beauty of the winter sky that has graced this relaxed evening of observations of year-end.


Prossimo appuntamento 3 gennaio 2011, con l'arrivo delle meteore Quadrantidi, e dopo una notte d'osservazione, l'eclissi parziale di Sole! Siete tutti invitati... :)

Metal Pails With Lids

Our Lady of Fatima Prayer

My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love you, I ask forgiveness for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love you.
Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore you profoundly and I offer the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world in reparation for the outrages, sacrilege and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners.

Lantern Lighter Installation

make others happy ...

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied la stessa stanza di ospedale. A uno dei due era permesso di drizzarsi a sedere per un’ora ogni pomeriggio per aiutare il drenaggio dei fluidi nei polmoni. Il suo letto era proprio accanto l’unica finestra della stanza. L’altro uomo invece doveva starsene sdraiato tutto il tempo sulla schiena. I due uomini chiacchieravano all’infinito: parlavano delle loro mogli e le loro famiglie, la loro casa, il lavoro, l’impegno del servizio militare, o dove avevano passato le vacanze.
Ogni pomeriggio, l’uomo vicino alla finestra, quando poteva stare seduto, passava il tempo a descrivere al suo compagno di stanza tutte le cose che poteva vedere fuori, tanto che l’altro cominciò a vivere solo per quei periodi di una ora when his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the universe out there.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young couples of lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color, and you could see in the distance a beautiful view of the city.
As the man by the window described these exquisite details, the other closed his eyes, imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon the man at the window described the passage of a band. Although he could not hear, he could see with the eye of his mind while the roommate near the window represented it to him with words rich in detail.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, before 'the nurse on duty because they clean themselves with water, but found the man by the window, lifeless, seemed to have died in his sleep, full of peace. The nurse is very saddened and called the porters to carry away the body.
soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved near the window. The nurse was happy to oblige, and assicuratasi that everything was in place, she left him alone.
Slowly, the man pulled up with difficulty on his elbow and tried slowly to turn to the window and looked out. In front of the window there was nothing but a blank wall.
The man called the nurse and asked what he could push his companion disappeared to describe those wonderful things out of the window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. Perhaps, he said, just wanted to encourage you ....


Conclusion:

There is so much happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. the anxiety shared by half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, it lists all the things you have that money non puo’ comprare.
