Ummmmmm, photographs are only two dimensional. Height and width. The is no "long" in a photograph. There is no depth in a normal photograph. Now the picture could be 100 Meters wide by doing what Wes said.
I'm with Zo on this one. I was confused at first and after I read the photogs comments I was more confused. I've seen a lot of lighthouses in operation. The lens shoots out a single very powerful beam of light. A time exposure should show, one beam of light since the lens was not turning. After the lens is fired up a time exposure would show a large area of white everywhere the beam of light went. Just as Zo wrote. A multiple exposure would get the result in this photo. But it doesn't take the lens 2 minutes to make one revolution so it is still confusing. Unless the rotation was timed precisely and the camera lens was opened at exact times the individual beams would be in more than those places and wouldn't line up perfectly. Something is definitely not making sense.
It IS a beautiful picture though!
(not to worry, at my age a LOT of things don't make sense)
The butthead is 19. He should be tossed out on his ear. He's old enough to fend for himself. Maybe he'll realize what a bum he is and change his behavior. If not old enough under the law to be tossed out I'd have him declared an incorrigible and have him hauled off.
I think her calling the law was more than justified. She should have told the law to give him a boot camp haircut while in the lockup.
Ali S. - You got that right! Mine wouldn't have killed me. After I dug the hole I'd have to pull all the dirt back on top of myself. GGGGGGGGG
EB - I'd make the jerk watch as I drove over it! Then I'd make him put all the pieces in the trash.
I was thinking the auction could be right here on Neatorama. Alex could start the topic and take only bids and let it run a certain preselected time. Seems simple to me. I do simple. GGGG Tell the truth I know zip about the iPod Shuffle. Is there only one version/model? I only need that so I can come up with a starting bid. It might not go anywhere since prices on the internet vary so much. But I think it would be fun and some wee ones can be the real winners. Alex could send it to the winner or to me and I'll forward it on. Doesn't matter.
Who'da thunk I'd win an award for being such a motor mouth. GGGGG
2D, I'm pretty naive but how will we know if you don't do that? GGGG
ted, you realize since my memory is as long as the hair on my head I had to go back and reread what I wrote. GGGG
Speaking of "holy cow", I just added some cable channels to my favorites. Past hour I've been watching Why I Ran on A&E. High speed chases and then interviews with the person they were chasing. Holy Cow! Is on 0400 to 0500 EST.
EB, I couldn't place that leibkuchen but noticed one google hit also called it pfeffernuse. Now that I remember! I used to love them, been many many years since I've had one. Who am I kidding, no one can eat just one. GGGG
(I think now pfeffernuse is not leibkuchen)
RR, hmmm interesting question. Being above the shoulders I kind of doubt that they are but I cannot figure what else they could be. Really huge pimples?
Terrific post Stacy. I don't know if all the items were ones kept in the fridge. I never keep peanut butter there. Same for grated Parmesan cheese until I read on the container it would taste better if kept there. Being set in my ways I go by the simple rule if it doesn't have any fuzzy stuff growing on top it's okay to eat. GGG Bout only time that happens is on chip dip. A sub rule of mine is canned goods and things in the freezer will out last me. But I did toss a large bag of unopened cooked shrimp last night that had been there for ages. Almost brought a tear to my eye. GG
Speaking of things going bad. Have any oldsters noticed how milk doesn't curdle nearly like it used to? That is a GOOD thing. Nothing worse than lumpy milk. gggg
They aren't condiments but potato chips usually last forever. They go stale but I imagine when something is coated in salt it lasts a long time.
Oh yeah, I really enjoyed all the comments. We have some smart people here!
Brian, I used to always use the Kraft Parmesan until I got a container of their Parmesan & Romano by mistake. I loved it and now it's what I always get. I highly recommend you give it a try.
Some years ago while away from home in the navy my dad installed a set of Fiamm air horns on my Honda 750-4 motorcycle. Motorcycle horns are basically worthless. I liked them so much I've installed the same model air horns in all my cars. They are real easy to find. I think Pep Boys carries them. I am not one to use my horns much while driving. My philosophy is if I do blow the horns I want them to be heard. Anyway, I highly recommend getting the small 2 horn Fiamm set for your car and/or motorcycle. (If you add a set to a motorcycle make sure the horns are pointed down so they won't fill up with water when it rains.) They come with the horns, a small air compressor, plastic tubing and a relay. Amazon.com has a bunch of models also.
That steam locomotive movie was really great to see.
To quote Phil Rizzuto, "holy cow!" I think the last time I won something was an involuntary extension on one of my enlistments. GGG
I want to toss this out to the inimitable Dr S. I'd like to auction mine off to the highest bidder. Once I receive the money I will donate the same amount to Toys For Tots. I'll even pay to mail it to the winner. Or Alex can hold onto it and send it directly to the winner and/or collect the money and make the donation in the winners ID name. There will be a minimum opening bid.
While making sure I spelled Phil's name correctly I read this. I think it is hilarious!
"In Rizzuto's obituary, The New York Times recalled a play that had occurred on September 17, 1951, with the Yankees and Cleveland Indians tied for first place and just 12 games left in the season:
Rizzuto was at bat (he was righthanded) against Bob Lemon of the Cleveland Indians. It was the bottom of the ninth inning, in the middle of a pennant chase. The score was tied at 1. DiMaggio was on third base. Rizzuto took Lemon’s first pitch, a called strike, and argued the call with the umpire. That gave him time to grab his bat from both ends, the sign to DiMaggio that a squeeze play was on for the next pitch. But DiMaggio broke early, surprising Rizzuto. Lemon, seeing what was happening, threw high, to avoid a bunt, aiming behind Rizzuto. But with Joltin’ Joe bearing down on him, Rizzuto got his bat up in time to lay down a bunt. “If I didn’t bunt, the pitch would’ve hit me right in the head,” Rizzuto said. “I bunted it with both feet off the ground, but I got it off toward first base.” DiMaggio scored the winning run. Stengel called it “the greatest play I ever saw.”
As the winning run scored, Lemon angrily threw both the ball and his pitching glove into the stands."
I second that WOW! I hope it can be saved. Maybe even turned into a place that can earn a decent profit. I am a huge fan of saving landmarks. They are a part of our nations history. Once they are destroyed so a parking lot can take their place they are gone forever.
What a fabulous setting for the Phantom of the Opera movie to be shown there. The one from 1925, same year this theater was built. Give me goose bumps thinking about it.
A million years ago or so candy stores in Germany used to have the most beautiful boxes of small marzipan figures. All lovingly hand made. Unfortunately I don't care for it but my father truly loved marzipan. Hopefully the boxes of marzipan are still being sold. The stores would place open boxes in their windows to attract customers.
ted "do you really think they’re stupid enough to reveal any details that would compromise security?"
The NYT and others do it every chance they get.
"You’re not older than you thought. You’re just hidebound in your attitude."
No, I just think I know the value of keeping us safe and not blabbing everything I know simply because I can.
Gauldar "I like being informed and I don’t think this is a bad thing." It can be an extremely bad thing if people die because certain information is made available to everyone. Basically I agree with what you said there. But as you hinted at some will sell our country down the river just because they can.
"The problem is not in exposing the information to the “enemy”, but finding it and fixing the weak link before the chain breaks when you least expect it." Until it is "fixed" certain info does not belong available to just anyone.
"But then again, how do we know that this is all the information there is, and not just what they don’t mind letting the public know… or what the public thinks they know." Yes indeed, the government is capable of anything. Hopefully it would be to protect us.
Moodindigo "I suspect they keep the really juicy info. to themselves." I hope they do. It's not them that I worry about. The ones that I worry about are people that feel they can put us in peril because they have certain Constitutional rights. What they forget is with rights and freedom comes responsibility. I see that all too common now.
"The Ion-repulsor drive, turbo-laser battery, cloaking device etc. Have I said too much?" I wouldn't say that but you do have a terrific imagination. GGG
BTW I like the ID, terrific tune by a master of his craft. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GohBkHaHap8
I must be older than I thought. It used to be people would do their utmost to keep their fellow Americans safe. For some time now it's more important to tell the world things they honestly have no need to know. Info like this can only help those that would use it to circumvent systems built to keep the bad guys out. The NY Times and others think it's important to put Americans in harms way by printing all national security info they can get their hands on. Is a real shame.
