Photo credit Eduardo Buchin, Jupiter.

Try something different and go stargazing!  Experience the natural beauty that is the South Florida night sky.  Stargazing is the simply the act of observing stars, moons, planets and other objects in the night sky.  Humans have been observing the stars for thousands of years.  All that is needed is a clear sky away from the bright lights of the city.  Aficionados bring charts, binoculars and telescopes to see distant stars and constellations. 

There are 88 constellations that can be seen from almost anywhere in the United States, but not all at once.  As the Earth makes its orbit, the placement of stars in the sky appears to move.

This weekend, telescopes are scheduled to be set up for the public to…

DELRAY BEACH OPEN…February 13 -22, 2015

South Florida welcomes the Delray Beach Open by The Venetian Las Vegas to Delray Beach February 13-22, 2015.  This 10 day ATP Champions Tour and ATP World Tour is televised internationally in over 125 countries and draws over 50,000 tennis enthusiasts as spectators.

Game, set match all begin with “love”.  “Love being the term for zero is one of the most celebrated puzzles in tennis,” said Ossian Shine, author of “The Language of Tennis.” Shine pointed to the game’s roots, 12th century France, a game called “real tennis”. The server would reportedly shout “tenez” — take heed, like “fore” in golf — which led to the sport’s name. “L’oeuf” means egg in French, and because an egg looks like a zero, some believe English mispronunciations changed the word…

All you need is love, especially so close to Valentine’s Day.  However, a little chocolate cannot hurt; it may even help you feel better!

For years, scientists have been trying to unwrap the mystery of chocolate.  What makes it so irresistible? Is it the cocoa beans, caffeine, sugar or any of the hundreds of combinations that raise our spirits and libido? 

Scientists at Cambridge University have conducted MRI’s of the brain and concluded a rather modest explanation.  Neuroscientist, Adrian Owen, of Cambridge University‘s Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre said, “The scientific data suggests that the mood enhancing effects of chocolate do not appear to affect the brain via a direct biological action.”   Scientists concluded that chocolate is linked to…
