NATURES LIGHTSHOW – THE ORIONIDS METEORS
The Orionids have historically have produced between 10 and 20 meteors an hour, scientists however, expect tonights meteor shower to exceed 60 or more meteors per hour.
“The Orionids have been one of the best showers of the year, with counts of 60 or more meteors per hour,” said Bill Cooke of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office.
Brainy meteor scientists believe that 2009 will be more of the same, with lots and lots of meteors.
Orionids Meteors are cosmic dust, from Halley’s comet entering our atmosphere.
So don’t worry about your house getting totalled.

Where do I find them ?
Good news for skywatching enthusiasts, is that tonights weather has been described as “perfect” for sky watching.
How do you know where to look, I mean we are not all astronomers?
You only need to know one thing, to see the meteors …. look up !
Really, that’s all you need to know.
It’s not like you are trying to find some distant star, with the hubble telescope and it’s not a fixed location.
Our Earth is moving into the field of meteors so they can be viewed anywhere in the night sky.
Enjoy and please come back and let me know about your experience in the comment boxes below.
Some Tips to see the Meteors
To maximize your chances of seeing some meteors tonight, go to a remote location where there isn’t much light pollution.
Pack a picnic basket and take the family or romantic partner and go and enjoy some good, clean, decent fun.
Then simply let your eyes adjust to the darkness. Relax and enjoy the sky, there is lots to look at while your eyes are adjusting
Don’t bother bringing a telescope as it won’t be any help.
Then, sit back and relax and get ready for the show.
The Orionids Meteors have picked a good night to enter our atmosphere.
NASA’s Dr. Tony Phillips says it’s a gorgeous night to look up.
“The [meteor] display will be framed by some of the prettiest stars and planets in the night sky,” Phillips said. “In addition to Orionids, you’ll see brilliant Venus, red Mars, the dog star Sirius, and bright winter constellations such as Orion, Gemini and Taurus.
Even if the shower is a dud, the rest of the sky is dynamite.”
So enjoy Natures Show for us and if you have any photos, please share them with your friends on www.MyFriendShane.com
Will there be UFO’s
Look out for these Halo Clouds, which look like UFO’s and let us know if you see any, cos this is really exciting.

In what must be one of the better stories going around at the moment, Winston the homing pigeon has been hired by a Hillcrest (KZN) company to fly 4gb of data from Howick to their offices.
The Financial Services company called “The Unlimited” is investigating ways to transport data that is faster than a phone line.
Winston, will fly with a memory card strapped to his leg and hopes to make it in under an hour, over the 70km distance.
<p> </p>
Lets hope that he does not stop to charm a budgie along the way !!

Cataclysm
Ever since I first laid my hands on a video game, I have been hooked and I have spend thousands of wonderful hours doing everything from raising fish, to building cities, to rescuing princesses, racing cars and flying planes.
My all time favourite games have to be strategy games.
I can proudly say that I have witnessed the evolution of gaming from the days of ping, asteroids, donkey kong and pacman – through my all time favourite Star Craft; and now I eagerly await the new chapter of the World of Warcraft series – Cataclysm.
For those who don’t know, World of Warcraft is an online multi-player role playing game based on the war between Orks and Humans, first released in 1994. Cataclysm is the third Expansion set and was announced at BlizzCon on 21 August 2009.
World of Warcraft is the most subscribed online multiplayer game in existence with over 11.5 million monthly subscribers and Cataclysm is sure to send the gaming world into a feeding frenzy.
Cataclysm features two new races, Goblins and Worgen and many new features and changes to the game.
From what I have read, gameplay has been fine tuned and there is more of an emphasis on raiding.
World of Warcraft Cataclysm reveals new parts of the world, such as Uldum, Grim Batol, and the great Sunken City of Vashj’ir beneath the sea.
Watch the Trailer to the New World of Warcraft – Cataclysm
I am looking forward to playing WOW – Cataclysm , with my my friends all over the world.
Bring it on !!
