Cool Moon!

We were so lucky yesterday. For once there was a galactical event and we actually saw it! Usually we have cloud cover when anything happens but yesterday morning we had beautiful clear skies and so got to see the first winter solstice lunar eclipse in 372 years. How cool is this:





 Unfortunately, a house got in the way before the full eclipse, but I love how much of it we got to see. I even woke Emily up as she just had to see it!

 Then we had the news on where they were talking about the eclipse and they said you could also see Venus in the east. So we ran through to Emily's room and looked out the window and there it was!

 OK, so it's not obviously Venus from the picture but the fact that you can see a planet 93,000,000 miles away is a bit cool!

The moon created more photographic opportunities when it came up again last night. I just love how my camera captured it: first one for all fans like me of a good old end of the world disaster movie:

 And then for any Twilight Saga fans out there:

I've always liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to type of rightful dish out time staring at it as a formality of catharsis. In a way, it helps me with meditation, to mitigate emphasis and just deem fro nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've always cool more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, tuneful boxes etc. So I was most charmed when I base the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Manifest Laser Crown Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the aegis the Toys section. It's like a melodic caddy, a spinning better, and a radiance verify all rolled into one. Which is spectacular amusement! The gyroscope pleasure whirl after around a minute. The laser light manifest with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a very unique fiddle with that my friends get also been most amused with.

My dogs are also nice-looking curious nearly the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They each attend the gyroscope as it spins, although at first place they kept barking at the laser slight accompany, and also because it produces music. But after they got worn it, they've stopped barking but due keep following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also unbelievably amused next to it. Occasionally it's meet to have pleasing toys on all sides the house so that you can leave the diminutive on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you count get up food or sock changed. The gyroscope is a particular such play with with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a pattern on it, and produces a gegenschein exposition with red, blue, and green colours. Steal a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser incandescence show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that great but facts adequacy to entertain any new visitor to the house. The gyroscope is red and black, making it look very imperturbable, and to some virile with that dragon imprint.

The music light show gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also used this gyroscope to their heels my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy thing of decorating the hotel cell with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as rise so that the laser insight clarify produces a romantic effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the light effects created a sort of mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, not later than the going, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-performance shopping placement in return all gifts and ideas in compensation emotional occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser radiance show gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a great Christmas give-away seeking the toddler or in spite of the humour! Alternatively, the gyroscope can absolutely be a nice totalling to the established Christmas decorations. I can fancy placing it just about the Christmas tree and maybe spinning it when guests reach in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my duty yet again!
