			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Way back a couple of years, Xbox 360 has proved its worth because of a raise in number of game titles which are being enjoyed globally. And having these games for a cheaper price will make every gamer happy because they will be able to complete these titles and obtain his utmost want in gaming.</p>

<p>Naturally, those that are in stores for just a few months are pricier than those who got old already in the shelves. Amazon.com is one reliable website for locating Xbox 360 game titles and is known for having games available for a lower price, both new and old.</p>
<p>Additionally, one of the best sources you can check is EBay. EBay boasts of every game titles available whether you&#8217;re looking for a new one or finding an older type, their price is relatively lower than any other source.</p>
<p>A good tip, since to purchase an item from EBay, you need to undergo an auction, have them during weekdays when there is a lower number of customers going online. This doesn&#8217;t mean that no one would go to outbid you during weekdays, there are still but they are much lower in numbers.</p>
<p>Overall, there are numerous options available to gamers internationally when it comes to finding games with reasonable prices but then again, most would recommend Ebay as the best source of game titles with great prices. In essence, it is in knowing the sources or references and when it is best to purchase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the constant advancement of technology, more and more people are taking advantage of video game consoles to entertain themselves and relieve themselves from everyday worries. And no video game lover would not know Xbox 360. Though it has several touch competitors, especially Sony Play station, it is still considered as one of the best consoles ever developed, if not the best.</p>
<p>If you are having second thoughts in buying Xbox 360 and wanted to know what are its features compared to other game consoles, you can consider checking the products specifications first. To start with, Xbox 360&#8217;s graphics are state-of-the-art and a reasonable number of individual even claims that it outperforms the graphics of the latest PS3, and even the popular Nintendo Wii.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Xbox 360 was released earlier compared to the aforementioned consoles and it comes along with numerous game titles that any gamer would appreciate. Xbox 360 is also more affordable. It sells for only a reasonable amount of $299 versus PS3 which sells for $499, which is twice its amount.</p>
<p>Also, you can add an HD-DVD drive on your Xbox 360 which able you to watch DVD movies for added entertainment, it is at $199 only. Also in here, is the Xbox LIVE which lets you download games and music and even play online and be included in the multiplayer sessions.</p>
<p>And who knows? Microsoft might eventually upgrade it to the point that you can purchase movies and even television shows if things go favorably on the long run.</p>
<p>Last but equally important, gamers can take gain of wireless controllers to be used in their personal convenience and amusement. Receivers only cost a measly rate of $20 which can be incorporated to up to four headsets and four wireless gamepads simultaneously for maximum enjoyment.</p>
<p>For additional information, headsets costs roughly $60 which can last up to 8 hours while the wireless gamepads is good for 40 hours, this could mean a more lasting ease and enjoyment for all game lovers. Xbox 360&#8217;s downside even though it was proven to be more affordable than its competitors is, it is still pricey for the common consumers, particularly with today&#8217;s global recession.</p>
<p>Besides, if you are not a gamer, you may not be able to fully utilize the games because they are graphic and hardcore. Some also said that Xbox is too loud when being used which is a major negative aspect especially when watching DVD movies. Finally, the power source looks awkward and is not good to the sight and is not desirable to be placed with other objects as it may heat them up.</p>
<p>Generally, Xbox is a great buy as a gaming console and it is now up to the gamers on how he or she will judge it.</p>
<p>Learn the best ways to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igu1kKidlsk">download xbox 360 games</a>, it is easy to do it this way. Info is right here about <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQGQSc0bPOs">how to burn xbox 360 games</a> find out how you can. It really is simple.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The japanese comics of naruto shippuden were made by Kishimoto, Masashi. When seeking to get his characters to be as unequaled as possible, Kishimoto often looked at other shonen(for kids) manga for influence. Akira Toriyama's, own innovation the most commerically common anime; the Dragonball series and its characters guided Masashi in creating naruto shippuden, with Naruto being his own protagonist and his teammates. The naruto shippuden films and TV series are akin to Dragonball and Dragonball Z because of its influence on naruto shippuden, as they both have so many thought-provoking characters as well as the greatest fighting scenes in history.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The print cartoons of naruto shippuden were produced by Kishimoto, Masashi. When attempting to craft his characters to be as unequaled as possible, Masashi often looked at other shonen(for young teens) manga for guidance. Akira Toriyama&#8217;s, own creation the most commerically common anime; the Dragonball series and its characters inspired Kishimoto in making naruto shippuden, with Naruto being his own hero and his teammates. The naruto shippuden movies and TV series are akin to Dragonball and Dragonball Z because of its influence on naruto shippuden, as they both carry so many outstanding characters as well as the greatest fighting scenes in history.</p>
<p>In the village of Konohagakure, there is a spiky blond haired boy named Naruto who wants to be a future Hokage(village leader), thus becoming the strongest and most advanced ninja in the village. Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki are Naruto&#8217;s Father and mother respectively. When Naruto&#8217;s Father, Minato Namikaze could not defeat the nine tailed fox creature. He had zero alternative but to seal the monster away utilising Naruto&#8217;s body after his birth, this is after Kushina Uzumaki died during bearing him.</p>
<p>Naruto&#8217;s childhood was never filled with love as he was hated by the villagers of Konohagakure. Because he reminded them of the horrors brought on to them by the fox demon in the past, that currently is sealed inside of him now. Since he grew up being detested and a continual object for the villagers&#8217; wrath and antagonism. Just because he had the infernal nine tailed demon sealed inside of him. He became transfixed on getting the love and recognition that he always wanted by firmly readying himself to attain the title of Hokage(village chief) and most prestigious ninja.</p>
<p>Being an avid fan of the naruto shippuden series and having viewed most of the innovative naruto episodes, you will ascertain his unshakable commitment and bravery towards his friends and future allies when they are in any type of difficulty. Justifiably getting into situations without any thought of the outcomes involved, so basically your realising that he unfalteringly lets his heart direct him instead of his head. But his hunger is usually guided by the last time he consumed ramen. As a scholar of jutsu, he is not a very good one for not passing the apprentice ninja examination twice. But he realises, he has more to volunteer including his legerity and the raw power in his combat moves plus his steely honor, resolute resolve to never back down from a challenge and being naturally protective of the deprived.</p>
<p>The most loved technique of Naruto is the production of his shadow ninja clones. Naruto&#8217;s chakra grants him to easily produce 20, 40 or a couple hundred clones. Naruto ordinarily relies on his mammoth quantity of raw power since he lacks the expertise or inventiveness to do tactical preparation. Its because of the nine tailed fox monster hidden within him, that he receives so much surplus chakra in his body, which allocates him a massive stamina boost in conflicts.</p>
<p>Masashi Kishimoto the naruto shippuden series originator wrote a brand-new manga series that&#8217;s upcoming in video format named the new naruto episodes acquirable at present in DVD and VCD. Naruto&#8217;s brand-new power of controlling the element of wind is why the new title is called Shippuden, which implies whirlwind or hurricane. As Sasuke leaves the village of Konohagakure, the event notes the starting of the  naruto shippuden series, which occurs about two and a half years after the aftermath of the initial series. As Naruto is maturating into a young adult, he has grown both in his jutsu skills and chakra manipulation. This works out to be so, subsequently after the initial <a href="http://www.asvocr.com/naruto-episodes/">naruto episodes</a> and during the naruto shippuden episodes, where Jiraiya one of the most dominating and versatile ninjas in Konohagakure educated Naruto to be a prestigious sage(controller of nature&#8217;s chakra) ninja. As Sasuke(past Team 7 ninja) had fallen from grace, its up to his friend Naruto to redeem him but this task is going to be a intimidating one and will need a wide-ranging degree of skill that Naruto has yet to master. In conjunction with the looming terror of the organization addressed as &#8220;The Akatsuki&#8221;. This maleficent organization has simply one solitary reason of being and thats to amass all 9 Kyuubi (tailed demons) from the 9 Jinchuriki(human hosts with a tailed devil sealed into him or her) by  jutsu but this usually leads to the demise of the Jinchuriki. Naruto and his teammates from Konohagakure are forever in continual combat with these criminal ninjas.</p>
<p>The major justification to adore anime characters will be because of the personalized story of every last character, dependent on how the cartoon&#8217;s creator crafts the character. When we observe today&#8217;s animation viewed internationally, its only in japanese animation, you&#8217;ll be able to view a graphic and a all-encompassing character, which is uniquely human. An japanese anime won&#8217;t perplex its TV audience. By exposing its characters, as being impeccable in every facet of life or that each character will have a fortunate finale.</p>
<p>Exactly like other characters in anime at the moment, you can experience the human mind being roleplayed in many another, new naruto episodes. When we find characters that we share a similar personality with, we like a shot cheer on that character as we have indentified a relation or sentimental link to that individual character profile. naruto shippuden&#8217;s plotline inspires us with messages that their characters are akin to us, like having things we all share, that gets us to share collective acquaintances.</p>
<p>If you already knew about <a href="http://narutoshippudenepisodestv.weebly.com/naruto-shippuden.html">naruto shippuden episodes</a>. Then you should know how beloved and popular it is, at the moment. To catch a glimpse of its newest videos.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is sure that the most important consideration in setting up a home theater system is the size of the room where you will set up the home theater system. Therefore, the size of the most important part of a home theater set-up, which is the screen, is also reliant on the size of the room. Regardless of the size of the room, the minimum suggested size of the screen is 28 inches.</p>
<p>A flat screen television is also suggested, because it will cut down on reflections and glare. Speakers are also dependent on the size of the room. Obviously, you would require more speakers in a very large room than in a small one.</p>
<p>You might want to put a lot of small speakers in a large room or one large speaker in a small room. The acoustics of the room is an important factor in this. Therefore, I recommend that you either get an expert in or get a wireless sound system that can be built upon.</p>
<p>The average number of speakers in a starter system in an average sized room would be five or six. The more speakers you use, up to a point, the greater the reality, but lots of speakers also means that you do not need thunderous volume too. There are many considerations when it comes to the sound &#8211; far more than with the screen.</p>
<p>You will want surround sound, with woofers, sub woofers, treble and bass speakers all with the Dolby control set-up, probably all controlled by a graphic equalizer. All these controls can be confusing, but once you have the sound right, you will know it. It will sound like a full-sized movie theater.</p>
<p>Another important component of your home theater set-up is the DVD player. Your DVD player really must have a progressive scan. This is because a progressive scan produces sharp and flicker-free pictures. However, the progressive scan facility depends on the television unit, because not all television sets support progressive scan signals.</p>
<p>An optional upgrade might be a five-disk carousel DVD player. All of these items also depend on the amount of money you have, of course. However, if money is short, start with the best DVD player you can afford and use a few old speakers and the biggest television set you can get hold of. Later, you can upgrade the television or the speakers.</p>
<p>The furniture is crucial too. You have to feel as if you are undergoing a special experience. The goal is to have reclining chairs, but you can start with large bean bags. Add air conditioning and a fridge for cold drinks and a few tables for nuts and candy and you are almost there.</p>
<p>My concluding touches would be old movie posters, photos of movie stars, a collection of autographs would be great, a replica Oscar and any other memorabilia you can think of. Then set all this off with some subtle lighting that you can raise or dim as required.</p>
<p>Sound, camera, action!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today&#8217;s busy world we all are looking for ways to save time, renting dvd&#8217;s online can be huge time saver and not only time, but renting movies on the web also saves money, so today you should only rent movies online and save yourself time and money if you are renting on a monthly basis.</p>
<p>Internet sites offer you everything from fair prices, customer service, location, fairly quick delivery, and much more. Many people prefer to become a member of such sites and enjoy their favorite films.</p>
<p>People rent movies for many different reasons. A lot of individuals visit popular departments at there local video store or the new movie releases area to find the most current dvd&#8217;s available. It&#8217;s a good way to catch up on all the flicks you missed in the theater.</p>
<p>Not only that but it is also a great way to save money. Before going to a movie at the theaters, a lot of people decide to wait for it to come out on dvd. Most films are ready to be rented within a few months of their theatrical release.</p>
<p>Many individuals rent titles to preview them for their DVD collections. Although the cost of dvd&#8217;s has lowered in recent years, quite a few people still don&#8217;t want to add a dvd to their compilation until they know that they will enjoy the dvd and will watch it again and again. A movie rental club is many times the perfect choice for movie buffs. Generally these membership clubs offer incentives for people who rent movies several times a month.</p>
<p>whether or not you are a huge cinema fan , or you just rent dvd&#8217;s on occasions, there are quite a few excellent video rental stores and sites devoted to renting you movies. Your local store is an excellent option for last minute movie rentals. The web services are also a great way of renting movies without the hassles of traveling. Many also have rather competitive prices if you rent more than a few times each month</p>
<p>The main issue with Internet clubs is if you are expecting to watch the movie tonight, your not going to be able to do that. You will be required to wait for the movies to be delivered. Even though this is a good way to rent movies, there is a better way to view movies when you want to.</p>
<p>If you join a legal online movie download site, you can view the movies when you want to view them, not when they eventually get delivered to your home.</p>
<p>To summarize. if you are a movie buff like me, then you will want to view the movies when you choose to watch the movies, and you just can&#8217;t do that with the Internet dvd rental systems. You can, however, watch the movies whenever you want, when you have the chance to download them on to your computer.</p>
<p>Some of the movie download websites even provide legal software programs that will allow you to burn the movies on to your own dvd, if your computer has the capability to do burn it.</p>
<p>Are you looking for a website where you can watch <a href="http://www.freemoviestation.org">free movies</a>, you can at our website. We can provide people with free movies that they can watch whenever they want. You can find us at: <a href="http://www.freemoviestation.org">Free Movies Station</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every professional chef and every household cook recognizes the value of fresh herbs to their culinary creations. No diner would dispute this either. However, whether you buy your herbs fresh or dried, there are problems. When you buy fresh, you usually have to buy more than you require and they are relatively expensive, whereas, if you buy them dried, they could be old and dried herbs lose their strength over time.</p>
<p>Why then is it that most domestic cooks use fresh or dried herbs from the supermarket? Ease, probably. We lead busy lives and it is easier to get a few boxes of dried herbs at the supermarket along with your groceries than it is to cultivate your own.</p>
<p>Not that it is difficult to raise your own herbs and even spices, but you have to purchase the seeds, plant them and remember to water them. You can minimize the problem of trying to remember to water them quite easily, by growing your herbs in a window box or in trays on your patio or deck, so that you see them every time you take a break on your patio. You will also remember to bring them in if frost looks likely.</p>
<p>If you have children, growing herbs and spices in window boxes or trays can be a good introduction to gardening for them. Herbs take very little looking after really, just needing watering every day. They are pretty tough and fertilizer is not necessary as most herbs have a fairly short life. Maybe only a month or two in some instances. Others last a lot longer.</p>
<p>First decide how many varieties you want to grow. How much room do you have for instance? The best way to start is look in your cupboard and see which herbs you use most frequently. Are any of them seeds? You could have a go at sowing these. Look them up in a book or on the Internet.</p>
<p>Sometimes it is better to soak the seeds first before sowing them, others do not need this handling. Second, which herbs have you read about that you would like to use but never seem to have in the house? Try sowing those too.</p>
<p>If all that does not sound like fun, then you can buy small herb plants in the garden nurseries. Most of them stock the most common herbs in Spring. Whichever way you go, read up on how to grow the herbs you have selected. I promise you, it will not be a long read, as they really do take care of themselves except for the watering. if you buy seeds rather than seedlings, all the details you need will be on the seed packet and such packets are very cheap to buy.</p>
<p>The advantages of having your own herb garden are diverse, but you will be teaching gardening to your kids or grandkids, you will have fresh herbs for cooking and you will have gorgeous aromas floating around your patio or deck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have more than a small town garden, then landscaping your garden will probably be one of your considerations. If you have just acquired the property, or you think that it is time for a garden make-over, there are methods of going about it. The easiest technique of going about planning a garden, is to first take a good look at the landscape of your garden. This can be difficult if the garden is established and in full bloom.</p>
<p>Therefore, it can be better to delay until autumn or winter, so that you can see the true lie of the land. You could make a plan of the garden on graph paper and take a load of photos too. Identify the photos on the back of them and relate them to the grid on your graph paper. There may be bumps and hollows, potholes, rocky patches and even a marsh or a pond to deal with.</p>
<p>These are probably natural features and if you want to alter them, you will have to tackle the fundamental cause. The feature is only the symptom. Like freckles or spots! If you look at the state of affairs in this way, it makes planning simpler.</p>
<p>For example, a rocky patch probably means that the Earth is throwing stones up gradually and if you want to clean it up, you will be picking up stones for the rest of your life. Similarly, if your wet area is the result of natural drainage from higher ground, you will have to drain it and put in permanent drainage, because it is not going to stop raining for you.</p>
<p>So, you can either work with nature or you will be working against it for the rest of your life. Either that or paying someone else to do it for you. Another issue is that the wildlife that uses your locale does so because of how it is. If you alter the landscape, your current range of wildlife might move on or just die. A lot depends on how much land we are talking about, but in general, I would say that the larger the area, the more you should leave it alone.</p>
<p>On the other hand, you can put in features more easily than remove them. For example, if you have an area with poor soil, you could enrich it with fertilizer or put a pond there. Shade and existing fences or sheds should also be marked on your graph paper, although being man-made, these are simpler to do away with or alter.</p>
<p>Next you should make up your mind what kind of garden you want, within the constraints of the existing landscape, how much work you are willing to put into it and how much money you want to pay out on it. Enhancing the natural features of the land is the easiest way of landscaping your garden.</p>
<p>If you have a swampy area, why not put a low wall around it and turn it into a pond? If you have a rocky patch, why not gather up the stones and create a rockery? If you have a couple of trees, try growing wisteria, honeysuckle or vines through them.</p>
<p>If you are in the shade, buy flowers that prefer the shade and vice-versa. It is a struggle to go against nature and unless you have a good reason to do it, it is not really worthwhile. Then build a patio or deck and sit outside and enjoy all the landscaping that you have saved yourself in your garden.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The second most important component of a good home theater set-up is its loudspeakers. You simply cannot achieve that authentic theater atmosphere, if you do not have good speakers. It goes without saying too, that the amplifier and player must be equally as good, because any system is only as good as its weakest part.</p>
<p>However, if you get it right, you can easily recreate the sound quality achieved in a full size movie theater. Unfortunately though, many people seem to get baffled about which speakers they should have, when they go to buy for their home theater in order to create proper surround sound.</p>
<p>The minimum requirements for a good set of surround sound speakers are a left and right channel speaker, a centre channel speaker and a sub-woofer. The following are the basic speakers that are necessary to make up a good home theater: front left and right speakers, a centre channel speaker, surround sound speakers. Sometimes people try to do without the centre channel speaker, but this speaker supplies a good proportion of the soundtrack in many movies as well as adding depth to the dialogue.</p>
<p>The surround sound makes the film sound more realistic. It is what makes the difference between watching TV at home and going to the movie theater. The option of having this at home has only lately become reasonably priced. The most common systems are: 5.1 channel, 6.1 channel, or 7.1 channel surround sound. The first figure refers to the number of normal loud speakers and the second one to the number of sub-woofers. The number of speakers that is the best for you, depends on the size and shape of the room you are sitting in. The more is not always the merrier.</p>
<p>The sub-woofer is the cause of the deep bass sound that underlies so many movie soundtracks and these are the sounds that are responsible for heightening the drama in a film. A good sub-woofer is an essential element of your home theater speaker package, if you do not have one, you will miss out on this.</p>
<p>There are many brands on the market and some are cheaper than others, but it is important that you choose speakers that will work well together. They have to be compatible. If you do not know how to make sure that they are, the best option for this is to buy all your speakers together in one package by one maker. It may be tempting to save money by mixing and trying to match speakers, but if you get it wrong, you will not create the true quality of sound you are eager to achieve in your home theater.</p>
<p>Some speakers are made to place on the floor and others are made to hang on the wall. Floor standing speakers are the best for home theater, but they also take up the most space and can have wires running everywhere. If this is not a problem to you, then fine, but if it is, you can solve it by purchasing wireless speakers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have been enjoying the sound of hip hop music for over twenty years. It continuously improves and becomes more interesting each day. Beats can now be created and enhanced.</p>
<p>Hip hop sound is easy to distinguish that is why creating it is easier. It can help you more if you have a studio wherein you can create the hip hop beats. All of the basic information can be found on the hip hop beat construction guidelines.</p>
<p>There are best practices to develop and produce better sound. After familiarizing yourself with it, you can be more creative. For this reason, hip hop continues to gain popularity. The rules are not engraved in a stone, it can be modified and improved.</p>
<p>What makes a hip hop song? It has two parts called beats and vocals made of numerous tracks.</p>
<p>You have to gain understanding of the &#8220;beat&#8221; to achieve success in hip hop construction. It has many elements but for better understanding, just think about it &#8211; it is the whole song without the vocals. Other elements include MIDI drum patterns, bassline, orchestration, dubs and snips.</p>
<p>The MIDI drum patter is composed of the entire drum tracks and it is also called as drum loops. Bassline however refer to MIDI sequence and the dubs and snips focus on the accent and characters. The supporting orchestration could be synth pads, string sections or horns.</p>
<p>The beat can be any length of your choice. The shortest one is composed of eight bars and it could be in a looping order. The longer ones however basically have verse and chorus along with introduction, break and ending. The introduction follows a classic pop form of eight bars as well. The ending usually fades out. This structure can be modified from time to time.</p>
<p>A hip hop song&#8217;s vocal is made of main vocal, second vocal, background vocals and overdubbed vocals. There are different software that can aid you in creating your own beat. One of them is the hardware samplers which is the basis of older beat construction.</p>
<p>Software synthesizers are also introduced for bassline and orchestration accuracy. Vintage synths also provide benefits when used. There are many synthesizers that you can select from and you can choose based on your preference.</p>
<p>Learn all about a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JoKBaJrrhU">hip hop beat maker</a> you can see it here. You will learn <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LFXSnBc3ew">how to make beats</a> and make amazing beats everyone will love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no uncertainty that astronomy is the oldest science and there is also no hesitation that astronomy was being studied by everyone, not only the wise men, thousands and thousands of years ago.</p>
<p>We do not understand exactly why they did it, but we can surmise that early man noticed a correlation between the weather and the stars, which were themselves not fully understood, of course.</p>
<p>Early man, probably even as far back as Neanderthal man, noticed the relationship between the weather and herd movements and crop growth, or at least fruit and nuts on local trees, if they did not have planted crops.</p>
<p>This means that people could see a connection between the stars and food availability. This relationship was probably ritualized into some sort of religion like early Wicca. Therefore, the stars became a very important part of the lives of every single person and it is likely that astrology and astronomy were widely intermixed by the average person.</p>
<p>However, there were also people who did not only use the stars as some vast celestial clock and who tried to make sense of the whole shebang. I am going to narrate below, eight of the most important dates or years in the history of astronomy before Christ walked on the Earth. In no way forget that they had nothing but an abacus to do there calculations and no telescopes, which came about two thousand years later.</p>
<p><u>585 BC</u>: Thales of Miletus (c. 625- c. 547), a Greek, predicted a solar eclipse in Asia Minor purely on the basis of his observations and calculations. It was not a lucky guess!</p>
<p><u>c. 400 BC</u>: the astronomer Oenopedes (5th. century). also a Greek, announces that the Earth is tilted on its axis with respect to the Sun.</p>
<p><u>352 BC</u>: the Chinese report what they called a &#8216;guest star&#8217;, a supernova, which was the earliest reported sighting.</p>
<p><u>340 BC</u>: The astronomer, Kidinnu (b. Babylon c. 379 BC) discovers the precession of the Equinoxes, ie the apparent change in the position of the stars caused by the Earth&#8217;s wobbling on its axis.</p>
<p><u>c. 300 BC</u>: a &#8216;committee&#8217; of Chinese astronomers compile star maps of the visible universe.</p>
<p><u>c. 240 BC</u>: Chinese astronomers observe and make notes about Halley&#8217;s Comet. Also Eratosthenes of Cyrene (c. 276 &#8211; c.194 BC), a Greek, correctly calculate the Earth&#8217;s dimensions.</p>
<p><u>165 BC</u>: Chinese astronomers notice sunspots for the first time.</p>
<p><u>c. 130 BC</u>: the astronomer Hipparchus of Nicea (b. 147 BC), a Greek, correctly calculates the distance to the Earth&#8217;s Moon and also rediscovers the precession of the Equinoxes.</p>
<p>You will see from the dates above that obviously not everyone let nature and the stars govern their lives, as the common farmer or hunter did. Some men actually took pen to paper, but before pen and paper even existed, and tried to work out &#8216;why these manifestations occurred?&#8217;.</p>
<p>These people must have been remarkable men to have worked these measurements out by calculation, observation by the naked eye and rationalization alone.</p>
