![]() ![]() Silverpit CraterDiscovered under the North Sea off the coast of the UK during an analysis of seismic data collected during oil exploration, the Silverpit crater may have been formed as much as 74 million years ago, perhaps when a large projectile impacted Earth's surface. Though the crater bears features similar to those of the impact crater Valhalla found on Jupiter's moon Callisto, many scientists question whether such a collision created Silverpit. What other theories about its origin have been proposed? More... Discuss |
![]() ![]() Pablo Escobar Escapes from His Luxury Prison (1992)By 1989, Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar was one of the world's richest men. At the height of his success, his Medellín cartel controlled 80% of the global cocaine market. Even after he was incarcerated, he continued to conduct business from the resort-like Colombian prison that had been built to his specifications. In 1992, in an effort to avoid extradition to the US, Escobar escaped. He was killed by police 16 months later. His intimidation tactic of plata o plomo translates to what? More... Discuss |
![]() ![]() Edward Hopper (1882)Hopper was an American painter who supported himself as a commercial illustrator until he gained recognition in the mid-1920s with his now-iconic scenes of American life. His dramatically lit works often feature still, anonymous figures inside geometric buildings and evoke a haunting sense of isolation that was his hallmark. His famous Nighthawks depicts a mostly empty, brightly lit diner on an otherwise dark, desolate street at night. What was said to be Hopper's favorite thing to paint? 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.
