081201 Moon, Venus, Jupiter

Night sky with a crescent moon, a small dot of Venus, and a timestamp of 08.12.1

Also, attaching the measly pic I got of the beautiful astro-event tonight: The crescent moon over Venus, and flanked by red Jupiter. Three shining bodies in the Heavens, so wonderful!

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon.

Classroom Architect

Friesland Trip, Netherlands

On a school trip with the DP1 (junior) students I traveled to Friesland for a three days! We stayed at a Sailing School, Zeilschool de Veenhoep, where we canoe, sail, and built rafts! We took a day in the city of Leeuwarden, and visited the museum.  The sailing school has barracks style rooms (with little room for chargers) but the living room and other seating areas are lovely! Natural wood beams, large windows with views of the water, and very friendly family as staff.  On the first day we settled in and I ran off with the group doing canoes! At first there were not enough canoes, but a couple boys came back very quickly and I hopped in. It was only a short route but enough for kids who've never done it before. I missed canoeing; I think I haven't done it in six years! We all bussed to the other sailing school site to have a joint dinner (the kids aren't keen on being split from some of their friends). They have a lovely outdoor area at Zeilschool Pean Friesland! And afte...
