Annular solar eclipse
A rare annular solar eclipse will appear in the continental United States on Sunday for the first time since 1994 and will not happen again for another 89 years ( 2023). The moon will block 94 percent of the sun’s early light creating a ring of fire surrounding the moon’s dark silhouette. The moon is far enough away from earth that it does not fully cover the sun leaving the slim ring of sunlight.
The Solar eclipse begins in Asia, travels across the Pacific Ocean and hits the West Coast near the California-Oregon border and moves southeast through Eureka, Reno, parts of Utah and Arizona, and New Mexico before ending in Lubbock, Texas.
Viewers should not look directly into the sun or the eclipse because of the danger of permanent eye damage. There are glasses made specifically for viewing an eclipse and can be found in museums, science shops or on the internet. Welding glass (No. 14) is another way to prevent eye damage but it is rare that a welder need glass that dark. It is most important that glasses or other material used to view the eclipse specify that it is capable of blocking 99.999 percent of light. Lastly, a pinhole viewer is an easy and fun to make and is the most inexpensive way to view the celestial event. Pinhole viewer instructions can be found at www.space.com.

A 49-year-old upstate New York woman is facing 90 days in jail for walking into two stores butt naked, not even wearing shoes.

Barbara Lafleur, of Saratoga Springs, walked into the Curtis Lumber store without a stitch of clothing. she walked up and down the aisles and told people to “have a good day.”
After the lumber store, LaFleur walked into nearby Stewart’s Shop along Route 67, where a very observant manager asked her if she was aware that she was naked.

The manager called 911 but by the time officers arrived LaFleur had already fully dressed.

LaFleur was charged with misdemeanor public lewdness.

When she was arrested, LaFleur told officers that she has a right to walk freely in the nude as a form of “self-expression.”

She was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation and mental health officials concluded that she was NOT suffering from any mental issues.

I love Van Halen. More of a Hagar fan but Roth grew on me. But to be honest, the song Panama was what did it for me. Driving around one day in high school, in LA, and the song came on Pirate Radio. I heard the song before, lots of times, but for some reason, I never LISTENED to the song. This time I did. And it was that song that hooked me.

But still, despite the fact that Panama was a Roth jam, I got into the Hagar version of Van Halen more. But Roth grew on me and I can dig both versions of Van Halen these days.

So another week is in the books, have you been keeping up the good work?  Im hoping you have been.  I just wanted to check in on you guys to see if there is any progress.  Remember, ya gotta stick with it.  On the days when you’re doing your chest work out you CAN switch from time to time from incline bench to flat bench. I recommend that you do  alternate that every so often.  If by chance you’re interested and wanna hop on board the power body building training here once again is my training program!

People say match.com is the best dating website out there. I say WRONG!!! the best dating website out there without a doubt is Facebook. Provided you have friends, and then your friends introduce you to their friends and the snowball gets bigger and bigger.  Im not gonna lie, before I met my future wife I trolled and stalked both Myspace and Facebook (actually I used the Rockets Myspace) to uuuh, I guess the kids still call it “hook up”,with poor unsuspecting females.

Def Leppard’s legendary one-armed drummer Rick Allen has had his playing turned into art pieces.

Conceptual art collective Scenefour has created a limited edition series of canvasses which capture the motions of Allen’s drumming, rendered in light and colour.

Allen says, ‘The collection reveals something that up until recently I didn’t even know existed, presenting sound into light.’

The collection is titled ‘Electric Hand: Rhythm + Change’ and is part of the ‘Art Of Drums’ collection which also features worked generated from the playing of Guns N Roses’ Matt Sorum and Jane’s Addiction’s Stephen Perkins

The canvasses can be viewed and purchased exclusively through RickAllenArt.com

So I left some nice, pretty creases in them for him by rolling on them on the studio floor! Muwahahaha!
