The Grammar Police would like to inform you that 2010 will be pronounced "Twenty ten"
“Coming off of “two thousand nine,” you’ll probably say “two thousand ten.” In fact, 4 out of 5 YouTube videos randomly reviewed by The Chronicle have people pronouncing it that way.
But you would be wrong, so wrong, according to the National Association of Good Grammar.”

Tutulemma: Solar Eclipse Analemma
Explanation: If you went outside at exactly the same time every day and took a picture that included the Sun, how would the Sun appear to move? With great planning and effort, such a series of images can be taken. The figure-8 path the Sun follows over the course of a year is called an analemma. This coming Tuesday, the Winter Solstice day in Earth’s northern hemisphere, the Sun will be at the bottom of the analemma. Analemmas created from different latitudes would appear at least slightly different, as well as analemmas created at a different time each day. With even greater planning and effort, the series can include a total eclipse of the Sun as one of the images. Pictured is such a total solar eclipse analemma or Tutulemma - a term coined by the photographers based on the Turkish word for eclipse. The composite image sequence was recorded from Turkey starting in 2005. The base image for the sequence is from the total phase of a solar eclipse as viewed from Side, Turkey on 2006 March 29. Venus was also visible during totality, toward the lower right.

“ A friend made a poll asking if been naught or nice. This was my reply: “I predominantly try to stay naughty because Santa scares the hell out of me. He is a nosy bugger, keeping a list and checking it twice, which makes you curiously wondered if he is the liaison between the IRS and CIA. Santa is mostly known by a long standing reputation but he sure does hang around a lot of malls. He is a bit creepy, like clowns.
