Decembers' Full Moon is today!
For many the Full Moon brings on changes, in their moods, their sleep, or is just plain really cool to see. I've been affected by the Full Moon since infancy, according to my Mother even keeping her up nights before I was even able to crawl. I get insomnia beyond what levels I normally have whenever there's a Full Moon out, even when I cannot physically see it. Since the Full Moon this month happens at 16:37GMT/UDT/ZULU Time I thought I'd let anyone that cares know this is the time. For December 2008 today is the day. Where I live the Moon became Full just minutes ago or at 11:37 EST my time. Checking the Moon Phase dial on my watch I see it's spot-on, with the Full Moon perfectly centered on the inner dial at exactly 1137 hours here. Except for the lack of sleep I always experience, I love Full Moons!There are name given to each months' Full Moon, and each has a unique meaning. These names date back to early Native Americans from what is now known as the eastern and northern United St

This was the best Christmas present I could have received and the only one (his return) that i was really hoping for.Here's the gift (Pennant) and the letter that came with it ..............God Bless all who serve !Kurt: Thank you for confirming that it has arrived. The camo backdrop was the idea of my Company Sergeant-Major. The camo panel is taken from an actual arid pattern combat uniform in-theatre (it was washed first!). My Sergeant-Major is a class act and kept me sane through 7.5 months of pretty intense operations in Kandahar Province.Traditionally, the pennant is flown on radio whip antennas as a designator of key command appointments. Obviously, we did not do so in Kandahar as we would have become targets and so

What watch tools do you own?
I have caseback openers, screw drivers and a nifty professional pin pusher that works like a pair of pliers. I keep saying I'll take photos, but I forget or get lazy.I find the pin pushers the most handy.How about you?

Hi All,I was given an F. Audemars Minute Repeater and I can't find another one like it on the net or much information. I was wondering if someone could help me out. [IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.us
