Meteor Shower Viewing – Meteor Showers - Meteors - Meteor Shower - October 2009 - MeteorBlog.com. Meteor shower viewing can be fun for people of all ages.

When do you look? Most meteor showers can be seen best after midnight and before dawn. (see our definition of midnight) A simple explanation of why this is true is because between these times the Earth is turning into the path of meteoroids as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere thus increasing their speed and intensifying the light they shed.

Some final thoughts. . - Meteor Mark. El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) Movie Reviews, Pictures. All Critics (208) | Top Critics (47) | Fresh (199) | Rotten (9) | DVD (33) Guillermo del Toro has crafted a masterpiece, a terrifying, visually wondrous fairy tale for adults that blends fantasy and gloomy drama into one of the most magical films to come along in years.
This is a fantasy realm so fully and elegantly realized, it might be the adaptation of a classic novel. Yet the source is Del Toro's own capacious imagination. Pan's Labyrinth suggests that fairy-tale violence helps the vulnerable process and overcome real-life conflicts and that real-life violence permanently smashes the soul and the heart. So breathtaking in its artistic ambition, so technically accomplished, so morally expansive, so fully realized that it defies the usual critical blather. Del Toro specializes in taking horror and superhero films to bold, baroque places, yet Pan's Labyrinth is a step above his usual forays into the fantastic. Grotesque and macabre thrills here, but not a fantasy-masterpiece.
The Fall Movie Reviews, Pictures. All Critics (107) | Top Critics (30) | Fresh (62) | Rotten (43) | DVD (7) ...a movie that not only expected me to pay attention, it assumed that I could. The girl and the hospital patients and staff also turn up in his improvised adventure, extravagantly garbed by costume designer Eiko Ishioka. The pacing drags and the clichéd tussle between childhood innocence and adult disillusionment can only go one way. Better to experience it than think about it, fair to say. Pace and Untaru generate an unforced chemistry that makes them pleasant company for a couple of hours, but they almost work against the movie's need to establish narrative tension. They appear to be having such a good time that Roy's self-destructive impu An achingly beautiful movie and a triumph of location scouting, with more cosmopolitan spectacle than the past three Indiana Jones and James Bond movies combined. Sometimes, looking good isn't enough. So what if the front story is a little contrived?
La Science des Rêves (The Science of Sleep) Movie Reviews, Pictures. All Critics (165) | Top Critics (43) | Fresh (112) | Rotten (46) | DVD (18) In the moment, Gondry and Bernal almost manage to give quirky a good name. The movie plays like an exhausted hallucination, disjointed and frustrating, much of it owing to the lack of chemistry Gondry allows between his stars. In the end, after your time with it, you'll recall it with a smile, remembering its childish wonderment and mischievous sense of humor.
It's all very cosmopolitan (the dialogue is English, French and Spanish), very independent, a wee bit juvenile and very confusing, of course. But The Science of Sleep is also remarkably magical and desperately romantic beneath it all. The whimsy Gondry whips up soon goes wispy as we wait in vain for all this sweet-natured silliness to reveal a meaning that isn't transparently obvious. Gondry's creative breeze of a movie is fun while it lasts, and that's more than you can say about a whole lot of movies. September 29, 2006 More amazing work from Gondry. Prometheus-strategical turn based game. Saturn's moon Rhea may have a breathable atmosphere.
Unicorn Symbolism & Unicorn Meaning In World Tradtions & Literature. The Meaning of Unicorns: Greek, Chinese, Christian History of the Unicorn Symbol The unicorn is one of a very few mythological creatures that are considered to be beneficial in almost all traditions. The unicorn is universally beautiful, mysterious and difficult to capture or tame. Although modern unicorns are depicted simply as horses with a single horn, traditional unicorns also possessed a billy goat’s beard, a lion’s tail and cloven hooves. Unicorns have a place in Greek mythology, Chinese traditions, in the art of the Indus Valley and India.
Greek writers including Pliny the Elder and Aristotle mention the unicorn in their writings. Some historians believe they may have been confused by earlier historical references to the rhinoceros, orynx (antelope) or wild asses. Unicorn Symbolism in the Bible Other Biblical quotes (courtesy of Wikipedia, )include: "God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.

Magnesium» JOSEPH GRIMALDI – The First Clown. Text & Photography by John Gladdy / Magnesium Being in a church for a funeral service and thinking about a clown might be weird.
Looking around and seeing actual clowns would be surreal. Many people tend to equate clowns with the circus, but there was one man who took clowning around from its origins in the Commedia dell’Arte- with which he shared his Italian origins- and into the world of the Pantomine, eventually culminating into the modern clown seen all over the world today. That man was Joseph Grimaldi, born in London in 1779, the son of a ballet master. An invalid from the years of intense physical effort his act required, he was introduced to the stage before he was two and retired at forty-five years-old. The rest of his life was spent in poverty, yet comedians – and particularly clowns – are, perhaps surprisingly, a group of serious folks and many came together to finance their inspirational father’s remaining years.
