Are you preparing to go on a camping holiday or even just a brief camping trip? If you are, have you already collected all of your outdoor camping gear and your other required outdoor camping items? If you have yet to do so, it is something that you may want to do soon.

Camping gear is an expression that is regularly used to describe products that are vital to outdoor camping, like camping tents, sleeping bags, warmers, etc. On the other hand, camping supplies is a term that is frequently used to explain items like food, toiletries, etc. In your look for camping supplies and outdoor camping equipment, it is very important that you understand there is a difference in between the two.

As for buying your outdoor camping gear, you will find that camping gear is sold in a number of various areas, including specialized retail outlets and online stores. One of the best locations to purchase outdoor camping gear from is sports shops.

Where to buy camping gear

A big number of department shops, particularly those bigger in size, will often have camping tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor camping gear readily available for sale. While the choice might not be as large as you will find in sports shops, you might find that the prices of camping gear offered in department shops are significantly lower.

In addition to shops, camping items, like food, toiletries, etc, can be purchased from grocery stores. Supermarkets are good, specifically for food, as they are based on food. This suggests that you have a large selection of food and beverages, many of which are suitable for camping adventures, to select from. In the summer months, you may even discover local grocery stores that have outdoor camping snack displays set up. These displays make it easy for you to find easy to carry camping food and other refreshments.

Best Key Largo Scuba Diving Sites

Key Largo Scuba Diving offers the very best diving sites in Florida. 

The Upper Florida Keys provide everything from ledges and walls and extensive coral reefs, including the renowned Molasses Reef which covers a huge area and is home to over 500 species of fish. This makes Key Largo scuba diving a truly memorable experience. Don’t forget to dive Pickles Reef, the Conch Reef System, Davis, Crocker, Victory, and many others.

The Scuba diving depths range from 18 to 120 feet and the weather allows for all year round dives. Winter swells and currents may lead to some trips being canceled. Always check with your Key Largo Scuba Diving charter the day of the dive.

When scuba diving in Key Largo, it is possible to dive down to all of the major wrecks in the area. The great Key Largo Scuba Diving locations include the U.S. Coast Guard Cutters Duane and Bibb. There is also the much loved Spiegel Grove, and The Eagle. Some currents may be swift and some of these dives would be more suitable for advanced open-water divers due to depth ceilings.

No Key Largo scuba diving trip would be complete without a visit to the John Pennekamp National Marine Sanctuary where you can enjoy some education in addition to some great scuba diving in Key Largo!

Most of the scuba diving charters in the Keys are reputable and will offer a somewhat similar service. However, there are important differences. Some Key Largo scuba diving boats are very large, offering more space and some shade (but can be “cattle class” on busy days), while “six-packs” while smaller, may offer more flexibility in terms of custom destinations and provide for a more personal dive experience.

The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner has confirmed the cause of death for legendary musician, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Tom Petty, stating his death was the result of an accidental overdose.

Coroner confirms Tom Petty died of accidental drug overdose

According to a statement released by Petty’s family in conjunction with the coroner’s results, Petty had been given several prescription drugs to treat emphysema, knee issues, and a fractured hip.

“Despite this painful injury he insisted on keeping his commitment to his fans and he toured for 53 dates with a fractured hip and, as he did, it worsened to a more serious injury,” Petty’s wife Dana and daughter Adria share in their statement. “On the day he died he was informed his hip had graduated to a full-on break and it is our feeling that the pain was simply unbearable and was the cause of his overuse of medication.”

The coroner’s office has listed Petty’s official cause of death as “multisystem organ failure due to resuscitated cardiopulmonary arrest due to mixed drug toxicity,” noting that his coronary artery disease and emphysema had been a persistent problem throughout his final tour.

Petty had taken several pain medications including Fentanyl, oxycodone and a generic form of Xanax. Other medications found in his system included a generic of the sleep aid Restoril and generic Celexa which is used to treat depression.

“We knew before the report was shared with us that he was prescribed various pain medications for a multitude of issues including fentanyl patches and we feel confident that this was, as the coroner found, an unfortunate accident” his family adds in their statement. “On a positive note we now know for certain he went painlessly and beautifully exhausted after doing what he loved the most, for one last time, performing live with his unmatchable rock band for his loyal fans on the biggest tour of his 40 plus year career. he was extremely proud of that achievement in the days before he passed.”

Petty’s family adds that they hope his death will raise awareness and understanding of the opioid crisis in the USA. “As a family, we recognize this report may spark a further discussion on the opioid crisis and we feel that it is a healthy and necessary discussion and we hope in some way this report can save lives. Many people who overdose begin with a legitimate injury or simply do not understand the potency and deadly nature of these medications.”

Petty was born Oct. 20, 1950, in Gainesville, Florida, and released his first album with the Heartbreakers in 1976. Prior to his unexpected death, the musician and his band had just completed a U.S. tour, which ended with a show on Monday, Sept. 25, at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Stargazers all over the world are getting ready for the first super blue blood moon eclipse in more than 150 years and many are traveling to find the best locations to see it. This rare celestial phenomenon is occurring because a blue moon, a total lunar eclipse and a supermoon are all taking place at the same time.

A blue moon is when two full moons happen in the same calendar month; lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes into earth’s shadow, and supermoons happen when the moon’s perigee (its closest approach to earth in a single orbit) coincides with a full moon. The super blue blood moon phenomenon hasn’t happened since 1866, and it is occurring because a total lunar eclipse is combining with a blue moon, which is in its closest position to earth, making it a supermoon. Blue moons only happen every two and a half years on average. The moon will take on a red glow as the supermoon happens to be occurring on the day of the lunar eclipse.

“The moon will lose its brightness and take on an eerie, fainter-than-normal glow from the scant sunlight that makes it way through earth’s atmosphere,” says NASA. “Often cast in a reddish hue because of the way the atmosphere bends the light, totally eclipsed moons are sometimes called ‘blood moons.” Sadly because of the location of the moon when the eclipse is set to occur, not everyone in the world will be able to see it. “The eclipse will take place during the middle of the night, and the Pacific Ocean will be turned toward the moon at the time,” writes skywatching columnist Joe Rao. “Central and eastern Asia, Indonesia, New Zealand and most of Australia will get a fine view of this moon show in the evening sky. Heading farther west into western Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, the eclipse will already be underway as the moon rises.”

Sky-gazers on the West Coast and middle of the US will have the best chance at catching the total lunar eclipse if they are early risers, but people on the East Coast will have a less impressive view. As you can see from the NASA chart that the eclipse will not be visible in the UK. If you miss this phenomenon, you’ll have to wait until 31 December 2028 or 31 January 2037 for the next opportunities.

Magnum has made significant contributions to British rock music over the last 40 years. They may not have enjoyed the same commercial success as other rock bands, but the consistent quality of their output has gained them an intensely loyal following among fans.  Lost On The Road To Eternity is their 20th full-length album, and continues Magnum’s recent streak of late-career successes from a creative view.  A wonderful marriage of theatre and swagger, it would be of little surprise if in the future we should look back on Lost On The Road To Eternity as one of Magnum’s finest records.

The opening track ‘Peaches And Cream’ is an immediately anthemic start to the album, largely thanks to the confident strut of Tony Clarkin’s main guitar riff, as well as a luxurious solo embellishing the vocal melody.  From here, ‘Show Me Your Hands’ blends cascading piano runs with a driving rhythm section, as well as hugely effective staccato work from Clarkin.  Of course, no Magnum album would be complete without the requisite power ballad and ‘Without Love’ delivers; delightfully overblown and yet colored by an unexpectedly funky rhythmic backdrop.  The 80’s sensibilities are continued with the synth rock of ‘Tell Me What You’ve Got’, anchored by a monumental refrain with considerably meaty production.

No strangers to shifts in their line-up, this is Magnum’s first album to feature Rick Benton on keyboards and Lee Morris on drums.  While both assume their roles comfortably among the ranks, it is Rick Benton’s contribution to these songs that adds significant flourish to the already stellar material.  From the Jon Lord sounding organ runs on ‘Peaches And Cream’, to the progressive dalliances on the majestic coda of the closer, ‘King Of The World’, his performance is never anything less than captivating, and is an incredible asset throughout ‘Lost On The Road To Eternity.’

Bob Catley retains his powerhouse status on his twentieth go around with Magnum.  Now into his seventies, the story-telling oratory quality of his vocal style bears even more poignancy with his slightly weathered delivery.  He excels at the melodrama of ‘Forbidden Masquerade’, and soars on the stunning chorus of ‘Glory To Ashes.’  However, the album’s highlight comes with his duet alongside Avantasia’s Tobias Sammet on the bombastic title track.  Having guested previously on numerous Avantasia tracks, the two voices compliment each other to great effect on a symphonically charged banger, culminating in a finale that is stomping yet sweepingly majestic.

The caliber of the music on ‘Lost On The Road To Eternity’ can only be attributed to the experience and expertise of the creative minds behind it.  Highly consistent from start to finish, the album is one of the finest achievements of a band whose career is already littered with plaudits and due to far more recognition than they currently receive.  If this album sets the barometer for the quality of music in 2018, then we’re in for a hell of a year.

Magnums Lost On The Road To Eternity album will be released on 19 January.

NASA released this new video today (11th January 2018), which was created by astronomers and visualization specialists from its Universe of Learning program. These experts have combined visible and infrared images from the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes to create a three-dimensional, fly through Orion Nebula, a fuzzy patch in your sky tonight, really a place where new stars are forming.

Video: Fly Through Orion Nebula

Astronomers and visualization specialists at NASA have just released this unprecedented, 3D, fly-through view of the Orion Nebula, a nearby star-forming region.

Space Telescope Science Institute’s visualization scientist Frank Summers, who led the team that developed the movie, said:

Being able to fly through Orion Nebula’s tapestry in 3D gives people a much better sense of what the universe is really like. By adding depth and structure to the amazing images, this fly-through helps elucidate the universe for the public, both educating and inspiring.

3D Journey Through the Orion Nebula – The Full Story

Astronomers and visualization specialists from NASA’s Universe of Learning program have combined the visible and infrared vision of the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes to create an unprecedented, three-dimensional, fly-through view of the picturesque Orion Nebula, a nearby star-forming region.

Viewers experience this nearby stellar nursery “close up and personally” as the new digital visualization ferries them among newborn stars, glowing clouds heated by intense radiation, and tadpole-shaped gaseous envelopes surrounding protoplanetary disks.

Using actual scientific imagery and other data, combined with Hollywood techniques, a team at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, and the Caltech/IPAC in Pasadena, California, has created the best and most detailed multi-wavelength visualization yet of this photogenic nebula. The fly-through enables people to experience and learn about the universe in an exciting new way.

Beauty lovers and Green Day fans, rejoice! That epic Kat Von D collaboration, the properly titled “Basket Case” liner, is officially here, and Kat Von D explains just how that collaboration of epic proportions came together.

Kat Von D talks music influence for Billie Joe Armstrong “Basket Case” liner

“I pitched the idea of shooting the campaign paying homage to this poster I used to have up on my wall, and it was this old photograph of Sid and Nancy and they were handcuffed together, and I just remember staring at that as a teenager,” she tells Billboard.

“Nancy had this blown out black eye look and I was like, ‘Oh, this totally makes sense.’ I could totally see that image being translated with myself and Billie Joe.”

The formula is perfect to create the smudge-inspired Billie Joe look, with Kat Von D Beauty’s site explaining that the formula glides on creamy, letting you “build, blend, smudge and smoke it out” to achieve your desired look, all before it sets in place.

A dream, right?

“Whenever I develop any makeup product, first and foremost it’s always about the formula,” Von D tells Billboard. “The formula has to be amazing. You don’t have to like me or Billie Joe to want to use this, and I’m really proud of that.”

And as for the Basket Case title? It fits right in with the rest of her music-inspired brand. “If you look at my entire collection from day one, everything from shade names to shade collections have always been inspired by music, whether it’s bands or lyrics or composers,” Von D explains.
