![]() ![]() The Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and WakeThe Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake is a 200-year-old competition held annually in the Cotswolds region of England. Drawing both local and international participants, the race begins when a round of Double Gloucester cheese is set loose at the top of a steep hill. Competitors dash after it, risking sprained ankles, broken bones, and concussions in the chase. Even spectators risk injury, as the cheese reaches speeds of 70 mph (113 km/h). What does the first person over the finish line win? More... Discuss |
![]() ![]() Genghis Khan Dies (1227)Though infamous for slaughtering entire cities and destroying fields and irrigation systems, Genghis Khan is admired for his military brilliance. The emperor-warrior consolidated nomadic tribes into a unified Mongolia and led them to conquer much of Asia from the Pacific coast to Eastern Europe. He died on a military campaign in China, and the empire was divided. The circumstances of his death are unclear. According to legend, how did his descendants ensure that his grave would remain hidden? More... Discuss |
![]() ![]() Antonio Salieri (1750)Italian composer and conductor Antonio Salieri moved to Vienna, Austria, in 1766 with his music teacher, imperial court composer Florian Gassmann. When Gassmann died, Salieri took his position and went on to become Vienna's most popular opera composer for the remainder of the 18th century. Beethoven, Schubert, and Liszt were among his most famous students. Though Salieri and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart were rivals, the story that he poisoned Mozart is likely untrue. How did their rivalry begin? More... Discuss |

Hi Patty!
Boy, you sure got around Vegas!
How long were you there?
I love the night shots, and getting the ceiling of Freemont Street is not easy is it?
Did you make the video of her at Hunter college? I'm not clear on the connection. Sorry if I seem dense, but if you didn't make the video, where's the conncetion?
Thank you for pointing me here.
Hope to hear from you again.

Hi Isaac,
I was in Vegas for a week. Yes, I did get around to many of the sights while there.
The Fremont Street light show was really difficult to capture...too crowded to set up the tripod.
I don't know if you watched my Bellagio Fountains video but that was done using a small tripod sitting atop one of the speakers. You were referenced in my answer to one of the comments ;-)
No, I didn't make the video of Rosie's speech. When she announced on her blog that she had been asked to speak there, I waited until there was a video available online....(there always is). I found it on bliptv and got permission to embed it on my blog. I am assuming that people were writing in to Rosie-asking where they could see it. My guess is that she did a search for it, picked the link she liked and then linked to it on her blog. That's the connection. Whatever the case may be,I am grateful.
Thanks for the visit and comment.
