This type of story reminds me how amazing sports can be. Last night, Rochester Red Wings catcher Chris Herrmann spotted a fan outside the stadium and gave him his all of his used gear. See, Herrmann doesn’t need the gear with the Red Wings colors anymore. He was recalled to the big leagues last night; to the Minnesota Twins. This simple act turned a great time at the ball game into a night this boy will never ever forget. I now know who my favorite baseball player is. If you love this as much as I do, send The Twins a note and tell them so!

Absolutely precious. See the full video of this sweet girl taking her horse for a walk here.
I had no idea for some reason that starlings mimicked sounds, and I was outside trying to take down the christmas lights when I heard, in quick succession: grackles, a bobwhite, robins, several red-tailed hawk cries in quick succession, and at least ten other birds, followed by meowing.
I look and in the neighbor's tree there are six starlings doing rapid-fire imitations of Every Bird. They were good, too.
Now I wonder how many times I've heard a bird and it was just a starling.
Any one of you could be a starling...

The Midnight Planétarium by Van Cleef & Arpels
The movement of each planet is true to its genuine length of orbit: it will take Saturn over 29 years to make a complete circuit of the dial, Jupiter will take almost 12 years, Mars 687 days, Earth 365 days, Venus 224 days and Mercury 88 days.
