Lunar Eclipse of the Hart

The second and last total lunar eclipse of 2015 seen from Canada will occur on the night of September 27. Unlike the previous one in April where the west coast and central North America witnessed most of the eclipse, this event will be completely seen from the east. First contact or when the full Harvest Moon begins to slide into the Earth’s shadow occurs at 9:07 p.m. EDT. Mid eclipse will be at 10:47 p.m. EDT with the celestial show ending at 12:37 a.m. EDT. The is also the so-called Super Moon. 2015 09 chart 4

A total lunar eclipse is a very safe and awe inspiring event. During mid eclipse the moon turns copper orange as sunlight refracts through Earth’s atmosphere much like a deep red sunset we witness on Earth. This will be the last of four consecutive total lunar eclipses know as a tetrad. The next total eclipse will be on January 21, 2019.

if you like apples and like them hot in your cup...like most people with a heart (sorry apple haters, no one actually thinks you don't have a heart...it just prefers a less desirable fruit) .... you take the evidence that proved its deliciousness...and dispose of it (in the greenest manner  possible of course).....because of you.....the hot apple deliciousness now ends up here..... an over exploited indisposed worstie.

You've never seen the Moose like this before, youve never seen the dance floor like this before. You've never seen the faces of these wild radio personalities before. Now you can! So mingle, become a volunteer if you like, and get your own show.

Dig it! See you there.

Braden Gates Plays Tomorrow (Thurs 17 Sept) in College Heights

We are excited to announce the first Home Routes concert of the new season: Alberta's Braden Gates. Described as a "born raconteur," we anticipate Braden will put on a great show.

From Edmonton, Alberta, Braden Gates is quickly becoming one of the most intriguing singer/songwriters in the province. A born raconteur in both his songwriting and song introductions, he is often compared to a young Loudon Wainwright: for his similar grimacing as he hits the notes and the sharpness of his observation and sly humor. Drawn to those with a story to tell, Gates aims to communicate these stories in a way that brings people together – which is often the case in one of his intimate live shows. Gates’ second album, Ferris Wheel, is a combination of intricate guitar work, driving fiddle playing and honest story telling. Engineered by celebrated recording engineer and producer, Miles

DATE: Thursday, Sept 17th
TIME: 6 pm dinner, 7 pm show
PLACE: Private Residence, College Heights
COST: $20 at the door
