About How Much ?

Nowadays it is so easy to create a site in Internet that anyone with the minimum of knowledge and tools can do his own, sure and to leave it in the forgetfulness so that virtual.Pues comprises of the immense cemetery well the magical number is 135 million!, according to Netcraft that is the number of hostnames registrados(lo that is equivalent to equal number of pages). The people in charge to a great extent of this extreme growth are the blogueros and the sites of social networks like Windows Live Spaces, Mysapce that every day add new to cyberspace thousands and thousands of páginas.Con this explosion have been affected the traditional servants that until recently they controlled almost 80% of the lodgings, as it is the case of Apache, that it has seen decrease his gains due to the migration of Blogger to the servants of Google. However, still he maintains 50 % of the pie and Google and Microsoft distribute 35% and 5% respectively, although little by little they are used excessive respect distancias…

Kissing The Stooge


“Success doesn’t depend on what you know, it’s who you know and whose stooge you want to be.”
–Guru Jeff

Friends, let’s face it, no matter what you do in life there is always going to be a certain amount of ass kissing involved to advance any type of a career.

Why is The Sun is yellow in colour

The Sun is yellow in colour ...

Well, I just went outside and looked. When I peeked directly at the Sun, I couldn't really tell what color it was: it was too bright to judge. So, I took out a small telescope I have and projected an image of the Sun onto a piece of white paper. When I held the paper close to the telescope's eyepiece, the Sun's image was very bright and appeared white. As I moved the paper farther away from the eyepiece, the image became larger and dimmer; I noticed that its color shifted slightly from white towards a very pastel shade of yellow.

One of the problems in discussing the color of the Sun is that human eyes perceive the color of a light source to depend on its intensity. When you ask about "the color" of the Sun, do you mean "as one sees when looking directly at the Sun when it is high in the sky?", or "as one sees when projecting a small image onto paper?", or "as one sees when projecting a large image onto paper?" Yes, it's the same mix of wavelengths in each case, but our eyes don't send the same signal for "color" to our brains.

Another complication is that we live on Earth, under a blanket of several miles of air. As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, the blue component of its light is absorbed and scattered more than the red component. The effect is obvious at sunrise or sunset -- the Sun turns a distinct shade of orange or even red. But even when the Sun is high in the sky at noon, the atmosphere still shifts its color slightly to the red. If you were to look at the Sun on a clear day from the ground, and then jump up above the atmosphere into space and look again, you would probably notice a small change in its color (and its brightness, too).

So what color is the Sun? I would say that the best answer is "whitish, with a hint of faint yellow." Or, perhaps, "definitely not blue, or green, or red, but, if anything other than white, yellowish." It might be easier to label the Sun with a color if we were to compare it to some other star, because human eyes are good at detecting the difference in two shades of color. Just visit any hardware or home decorating store and look at all the different versions of "white" that you can purchase. If you look at just one little sample of paint, you'd say, "Well, that's basically white;" but if you see it on a page with ten other samples around it, you can add more to the description: "Oh, it's somewhat darker than 'bone', and has less blue in it than 'desert', with maybe a hint of green."

The Sun's photosphere (the outermost layer visible to human eyes) has a temperature of about 5600 Kelvin, which places it in the middle of stellar temperatures. Take a look at this photograph of the constellation Orion: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ ap030207.html

Rigel, the bright star at the bottom of Orion, has a photospheric temperature around 11,000 Kelvin. If we moved the Sun very far away from the Earth, so that it was roughly the same apparent brightness as Rigel, we'd say, "Rigel is a bluish-white color, while the Sun is orangish-white." On the other hand, Betelgeuse, the bright star at the top of Orion, is only about 3400 Kelvin. If we moved the Sun so that it had roughly the same apparent brightness as Betelgeuse, and was next to it in the sky, we'd say "Betelgeuse is orangish, but the Sun is yellowish." Note that our perception of the Sun's color would depend a little bit on exactly which star was being used as a comparison.

This brings up another complication. Human eyes have two sorts of light-sensitive cells, which are called "rods" and "cones". The "cone" cells can distinguish colors, but they only work when struck by lots of light. The "rod" cells, on the other hand, respond to low levels of light, but provide no color information. If you don't believe me, go into a room without windows and look around you: what color is the floor, and the ceiling, and the furniture? Then turn off the lights, and look again. You won't see the same colors so clearly under dim lighting.

Even the full moon is a pretty dim object. It reflects only about seven percent of the (whitish) light which strikes it (about the same as an asphalt road), and then that light gets spread out as it travels from the moon to the Earth. By the time it reaches us, it is so feeble that it doesn't excite the cone cells in our eyes very much. Since it is the black-and-white rod cells which provide most of the signal to our brains, we perceive the moon in shades of grey.

Your final point,

clouds are white yet they are reflecting light from the sun.

is a good one. Puffy cumulous clouds on a sunny day are certainly bright enough to excite the cone cells in our eyes, so we should be able to detect any hints of color in them. They do reflect equally well all the wavelengths of light striking them, most of which comes from the Sun. So if the Sun is really yellow (and not white), then clouds should be yellow. But they aren't. And that goes to show that the Sun itself is much more whitish than it is yellowish.

Tips Hosting an Unforgettable Christmas Party ..Part 2 of 2

When considering your menu, try to keep things as simple as possible. This does not mean you have to compromise the quality of your food. Experience has taught me that homemade desserts are always a big hit. Consider serving an array of tarts and pastries, along with tea and coffee. As for the other food, try to serve finger foods such as sandwiches or wraps. You can purchase a platter of these at a very reasonable price, and save yourself a lot of time. I also like to have to an assortment of appetizers such as breaded shrimp and spring rolls.

Regarding beverages, you should consider having a selection of things to choose from. Be sure to stock up on Egg Nog! You should have a reasonably well stocked bar that includes red and white wine, rum, whiskey, vodka, and beer. We love Irish Cream with our coffee! Keep in mind that not everyone likes to imbibe, so be sure to have an assortment of soda and juice on hand. Tea and coffee are absolute necessities.

Another thing you could do to make the party more exciting, is to base it around a theme of some sort. You can tailor your food and drink to the theme, as well. Wouldn't it be great if everyone showed up dressed in costume? We had a party a few years ago, and it was in the theme of a Victorian Christmas. It was so much fun seeing everyone together and enjoying the holidays dressed in wonderful evening gowns and tuxedos! So good luck, and have a wonderful holiday!

Tips Hosting an Unforgettable Christmas Party

It's just about that time of the year again! Each year, around this time, people start to get into the festive spirit and decide to celebrate with a party of some sort. I host a party for my friends and family every year, and each year I learn something new. In my experience, there are a few things you can do to make the party enjoyable for everyone…yourself included.

Plan your party well in advance. The holidays are a busy time for everyone, so give your guest as much advance notice as possible. Your best bet is to send out the invitations in late November, so your guests can have the time to plan ahead. Organization is the key to a successful party.

It is important to have some idea how many people will be attending your party. You could include a stamped envelop with the invite, so your guests can RSVP. If you are unable to confirm the number of attendees, save yourself some trouble and plan to have a few more people than you invited. By approaching the party this way, you will be sure to have enough food and drink for everyone.
