One thing that is never explained is the effect of time. For example would a shade factor of 8 be ok for quick looks while s shade factor of 12 be bad if you stare at it from start to finish which is over 2 hours.:conf2:
One of my coworkers ordered a bunch of extras and handed them out so if they are faulty, my whole office will be blind. Plus is neighbor.
My wife bought 5 pair of glasses a month ago. I'd sell them for $100 each if the kids weren't so excited.
I'm not sure if this has been posted but NASA is going to live stream the entire event. Below are a couple of links for more information.
More information is available at:

Weather channel is covering it live across the country. Nearly in totality in Oregon
I wasn't able to get glasses, but some friendly folks near the coffee shop shared theirs with me. It was only a 70-80% partial eclipse here, but grand celestial events are always inspiring to witness. I was lucky enough to view the transit of Venus several years ago from an observatory, and seeing the Milky Way from atop Mauna Kea is a view I'll never forget.
For those who missed it, you can replay NASA's coverage on youtube.

Showing Missouri eclipse on CNN...people looking up at it with no glasses.....including their reporter.....
OK, past max now. All I've got to say is that 3% of the sun's light is much brighter than I thought it'd be...
Past max here a little while ago. Cloudy and a few raindrops. Eclipse probably caused drop in temperature causing humidity to go up and make it worse for viewing. There are a few holes in the sky in the area but pretty big clouds.

Hate to hear that. I've got a lot of friends near you. Interesting - my glasses were manufactured in Bartlett, or at least, the solar film was...
