Yeast Die Off Symptoms




I have not yet had time to upload my story Congress passed the State of Astronomy in Madrid on my blog. I'm pressed for time lately. I promise I will soon. Meanwhile you can read the excellent reviews that have left some friends in the blogosphere: here , here and here. Do not lose them, are excellent.

why I want before they spend more time on record that if anything I was happy for the three days in Madrid was to coincide again with my dear friends and great people: Rafa Edgar Benavides and Mass . Funny how astronomy has brought together people of such different backgrounds, work commitment ... and yet I can assure you that with Rafa and Edgar you feel at home, we are real friends. Since many years working together getting into several stories (OED, SEDA-WDS, lectures, attendance at conferences ...) and certainly, I can not think of anyone better to have done.

Thanks folks. You rock. You are my family.

PS: Obviously, I also greet many people in the CEA in Madrid. Some for the first time. The list is endless. So I leave for my detailed account of the event.

What Happens If I Take Expired Protein

Good and true friend of the CGEM Accuracy: an (awful) home video



few months ago I said that I had bought new bike. He also said he was really pleased with the stability and accuracy that was showing. Well, to put teeth long to Rafael Benavides (who was having some problems to control the mount from the computer-solved and, of course-), one night this summer I recorded a small video camera steady freehand while the other handled the laptop mouse. You can imagine the quality of the same: awful. However, I think that may serve to illustrate the quality of the Celestron CGEM mount (I still say that is worth its weight in gold) and comfort means manage it from your computer. Although many use other programs, for years I have remained faithful to SkyMap and I use him like a charm.

cost me catch you point a saddle-computer connection. Until I found the key or, rather, with the cable and how to connect the RS-232 NexStar commanded. ASCOM platform did the rest and since then, saving time and win in comfort. It is no longer necessary even to enter the coordinates of the object you want to study.

I assure you that the starting station on the night I recorded the video was very fast and shallow, nor use any software to support the commissioning station. Still, the results are quite positive. Do not you think?

By the way, is a part of the video in which almost no one hears my voice (I covered the finger at the camera's tiny microphone!).

The next entry the devote to Congress Astronomy State last weekend ...

Blue Dots On Pregnancy Tests

I (almost) is here the State Congress XIX Astronomy



Every two years, for 34, we celebrate the "festival" of the English amateur astronomy: the State Capitol of Astronomy, CEA (formerly Days National Astronomy and Astronomy State Conference). In the 18 previous editions has been able to have first-hand, an overview of the research of amateur / amateurs and professionals. CEA has been the site of the main English cities that have a group with sufficient astronomical entity to organize an event of this type (Madrid, Sevilla, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bTeruel, Valencia, Santander, Malaga, Huesca, Murcia ...).

however, is the first time in the last 20 years that falls in a city that allows me to attend because of their closeness (although relative): XIX CEA plays in Madrid and at last I can be present. Furthermore, with Rafa and Benavides Edgar R. mass presented a paper (Saturday 18 at 18pm.) On the project SEDA-WDS (which, incidentally, is going well and each has more participants).


going to be a great opportunity to reconnect with old friends and to meet in person to others who had never seen. Needless to say I am very excited and will be three days of intensive sessions. The organizers have prepared so many events (even the famous pop group Amaral attends the opening) it will be difficult to attend all. Congratulations for the work done so far. I imagine they will be hoping that happens soon, and a good time. Sure.

Such is the wealth of conferences, lectures and activities that have had to organize the CEA in various lecture halls of the University Complutense of Madrid, which I can not attend all ... be difficult to choose.

Both groups are organizing astronomical Madrid Astronomical Association (AMA) and the Association of Amateur Astronomers at the University Complutense of Madrid (ASAAF). All information
