    Comet Holmes is usually a dull little comet that is barely visible and it already passed by the sun and is heading back out to the outer realm of our solar system. Currently it is somewhere between Mars and Jupiter but something happened and it is one million times brighter than it usually is. Astronomers believe that something happened to the surface of the comet allowing it to out gas material as it is melted by the sun.

    Astronomers do not know how long the comet will remain visible so go outside and see it while you can. At dusk the comet is in the North East in the Northern Hemisphere near the Perseus.

    It is currently the brightest “Star” in the sky because the tail is extremely short. I hope the sky is clear so you can see this rare event.

    The Comet is the tiny writing in Red.

    I especially like the Benmont shout out! :)

    Documentary puts rare spotlight on Tom Petty

    "Are you getting a kickback on this?" Petty fumes as the label representative argues for the song's validity. "This is a bad song ... This is just perpetrating the depth of [junk] we're in with pop music."

    Oh....They missed my favorite line.... "I could smoke two joints and write better lyrics than this." LMAO... That was too funny. (I think that's how the Grateful Dead wrote most of their lyrics...LOL) I wonder where they got footage. And why was it taped? lol

    Thanks Amylou!

    OMG Sharon! That IS scary.

    I think middle school, too. Last year I took my daughter out trick-or-treating and there were a huge group of teenagers doing it on our street. They were turned away at some houses because there wouldn't have enough for the little kids. I think they should have parties at that age. We were cracking up though. They all couldn't wait to go trick-or-treating at their high school math teachers house... lol

    ^LOL...I love band bulletins when they're funny... That's the benefit of Myspace over a forum.. You get the message from the band directly (which is very cool) and the meaning doesn’t get lost in a lot of forum comments from fans, like the posts that turn into criticisms and whatnot over at the officials....

    By the way, thanks to Marion I love Jet!

    Who's idea was this? I guess it would be like a Funeral Fair. There's a big market..lol, but who wants to go to trade show? lol

    First Divorce Fair Woos Few in Vienna

    By GEORGE JAHN, Associated Press Writer

    Saturday, October 27, 2007

    (10-27) 16:38 PDT VIENNA, Austria (AP) --

    In a city where "I do" often turns into "I want out," a fair for those wanting to untie the knot seemed a sure hit.

    But journalists easily outnumbered those looking for advice on how to end their marriages on Saturday, the first day of what was billed as the world's first divorce fair.

    Detectives were ready to catch a spouse in the act, mediators to help ease the pain of separation, a laboratory to conduct paternity tests, and, of course, lawyers to do everything else.

    So where were all those in struggling marriages?

    The Austrian capital would seem a good venue for the event, with its 66-percent divorce rate, near the top for European cities. The country itself has a rate of more than 50 percent. In the United States, the rate is thought to be between 40 and 45 percent.

    But only a few dozen clients meandered through the two conference rooms of a downtown luxury hotel in the space of an hour, and bemused exhibitors were kept busy mostly by TV crews lining up to interview them.

    "It doesn't matter," said real estate agent Christian Novotny, there to offer advice on how to sell homes for splitting couples — or to buy ones for new singles. "Tomorrow's another day."

    "Too many cameras," said Berhard Spernern, one of the few at the event hoping for a divorce. "I think that's part of the problem — a lot of people don't want to be seen or be photographed here."

    Spernern said he was happy to have come nonetheless, saying a talk with a lawyer was helpful in letting him know that he has an automatic right to divorce after a three-year separation. And he said he would suggest to his spouse — who he said does not want to end their marriage — to join him in mediating their dispute with one of the experts he made contact with here.

    Most of the 16 firms with stands at the fair offered standard divorce fare — legal services, private investigations, mediation and conflict management. But some catered to more unusual needs.

    "Many people come to us when they are already in the middle of divorce proceedings," said Susanna Haas, whose $600 DNA analysis promises to end bickering about why the little one does not look like daddy. "Proof of parenthood can play an important role in divorces."

    In the next room, Isabella Stozek, whose "Hairdreams" offered hair extensions, volume treatments, highlights and other regimens, said such makeovers were important to women looking for a new look to accompany their new start.

    "They want to leave their old lives behind, and how better to do that than with these?" she says, sweeping her hand over a display of wigs, pony tails and braids.

    At a stand close by, brochures for "MyDates" promised those interested a chance to "meet 25 singles in two hours."

    Even the Roman Catholic Church got into the mix, with a stand to offer advice for newly single parents, and social workers from the city of Vienna were ready to counsel women in sudden need.

    Still, the emphasis Saturday was less on the emotional and more on the financial and legal aspects accompanying a divorce — a fact criticized by some looking for more than just a chance to limit the mess of their marriage breakup.

    "I miss the human aspect," said Ingrid, who refused to give her full name, explaining that divorce was a private matter. "It would be nice to have people here to talk to for those who are not yet willing to take the leap."

    "Who knows how many here could still save their marriages, if they tried?"
