Happy New Year 2008 !
The Year of the Mouse

Mickey and Minnie Mouse, dressed in kimonos,
perform at Tokyo Disneyland during the New Year's holidays.
The park celebrates the New Year in Japanese style
every year with Disney characters dressed up in traditional Japanese outfits.

A kadomatsu (門松, lit. "gate pine") is a traditional Japanese decoration
of the New Year placed in pairs in front of homes to welcome ancestral spirits
or "kami" of the harvest. They are placed after Christmas until January 7 and are considered
temporary housing for kami. Designs for kadomatsu vary depending on region,
but are typically made of pine, bamboo, and sometimes ume (plum) tree sprigs
which represent longevity, prosperity and steadfastness, respectively.

Attention all stargazers !! If you're interested in satellites or astronomy, you've come to the right place! Their aim is to provide you with all the information you need to observe satellites such as the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle, spectacular events such as the dazzlingly bright flares from Iridium satellites, as well as a wealth of other space flight and astronomical information. They not only provide the times of visibility, but also detailed star charts showing the satellite's track through the heavens. All their pages, including the graphics, are generated in real-time and customized for your location and time zone.

The above represents the planetary alignment as of June 5, 2005.

Secret Worlds: The Universe Within
View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth.
Then move through space towards the Earth
in successive orders of magnitude until you reach
a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida.
After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf
into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls,
the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally,
into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

OK, well there's no little bouncing ball, nor color-highlighted text,
but you've got the words and the music, so.....Get After It !!!
