UFO over the Rockies?

Sun, 18 Mar 2007 07:38:04 GMT

clipped by: The REAL Napster
clipper's remarks: Taken from my back deck with crappy digital camera. Was taking pictires of the red sky and didn't even think about the UFO until i looked at the 3 pictures I snapped. It was only in the first picture, the other 2 it was gone. Evidentally, it moved from left to right and out of my field of view very fast!

Clouds? maybe, maybe not. If they were visitors from elsewhere they probably left because their connecting flight from Denver was cancelled, or the airport food in O'Hare is way over-priced. I have some great stills of something over the Rockies that is very convincing as a U.F.O. and still don't know what it was. One frame it was there the next 2 it was not.

(Look just above hills near the center of the pic)

Ice cream cone cupcakes

clipper's remarks: These turned out great! It's quite fun to do with kids as well. I'm thinking of making a new patch and involve the nephews with the frosting. I foresee a catastrophe

My first patch

Oh and I poured the batter into the cones directly like the post author says.

How do I make them?

Some will tell you that the best ones are made from scratch. In terms of taste this may be true, but if you want to make a truly authentic, late 80's / early 90's ice cream cone cupcake, it's all about the mix and as many artificial colors and flavors as possible.

Here's the recipe (and picture, left) we found on the Betty Crocker site. (Cakespy Note: We copied the recipe below as it was posted on the Betty Crocker site; however, when baking them ourselves, we just put the batter directly in the ice cream cones and it worked out fine).

1 to 2 containers Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy frosting

1. Heat oven to 350°F

Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups

Make cake batter

Fill each cup 2/3 full of batter

Place ice cream cone upside down on batter in each cup

Bake

Cool completely

Remove paper baking cups. Generously frost cake with frosting

Illinois Sen Obama Constituents Left In Minus10 Degree Housing

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 06:35:25 GMT

clipped by: merrie
clipper's remarks: It was during this exact period that the district's new state senator -- Barack Obama -- received a $1,000 donation from Rezmar. The date was Jan. 14, 1997.

Seventeen buildings -- many beset with code violations, including a lack of heat -- ended up in foreclosure.
Six buildings are currently boarded up.
Hundreds of the apartments are vacant, in need of major repairs.
Taxpayers have been stuck with millions in unpaid loans.
At least a dozen times, the city of Chicago sued Rezmar for failure to heat buildings.

Did State Senator Obama ever complain to anyone -- government officials, Rezmar or Rezko -- about the conditions of Rezmar's buildings? There is apparently no documented evidence that Obama stood up for his constituents.

But he did find time to write letters for Rezko; these requests were only recently discovered.

During January and early February, temperatures routinely dipped to around ten degrees below zero.

But Rezko and his partner couldn't rustle up enough money to get the Englewood building's heat turned back on.

Their company, Rezmar Corp., did manage to find $1,000, which it promptly gave to the campaign fund of State Senator Barack Obama. The young politican had recently been elected the representative for the district that included the Englewood apartment complex.

The South Sangamon apartment building finally had its heat turned on in February 1997, but only after the city of Chicago sued, eventually collecting a $100 fine from Rezmar. There appears to be no evidence that the young state senator had anything to do with the city's numerous lawsuits against Rezko's companies, even though the city was attempting to protect Obama's constituents.

The tenants there had no heat from Dec. 27, 1996, until at least Feb. 3, 1997, when the city of Chicago sued.

Thief: The Dark Art Book by Dominus
The Dark Art Book is available for download in PDF format or in JPG format.

Dominus has taken official Thief art and compiled it into book format for the enjoyment of Thief fans. The layout and design of this book are very well done. This is a must have collection for every taffer. Dominus has worked within the limitations of size and clarity of the original images, many from more than 10 years ago, to make a cohesive collection and an excellent presentation.

The quality of this collection comes as no surprise to me as Dominus is a talented 2D artist in his own right. Visit his website, www.pandemoniumart.net, and check out his blog and portfolio. Don't miss his Gallery which is set to some very familiar music.

There is a Forum Discussion Thread for anyone who would like to comment on Dominus' work.

Rembrandt's two renderings of the Binding of Isaac

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:12:57 GMT

clipped by: enbar
clipper's remarks: The first one is the one Rembrandt did late in his life, and it's arguably a much superior piece of art. In the early one, the image is violent and dynamic, in the later one, it's much quieter -- characterized by a sense of mourning and consolation.

Tradecraft Of Socialist Realism

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 05:01:04 GMT

clipped by: merrie
clipper's remarks: So the media know exactly how to use that kind of image on behalf of the Left.

On the other hand, John McCain is already being depicted as a crippled dwarf by nice people like these.

http://www.desertratdemocrat.com/archives/1-mccain_bush_hug.jpg

Oregon was a Phony-Op, a staged photo-op. The Clintons were masters of the phony-op, in the close coordination with their Hollywood friends. That's how Bill kept his numbers up.

So keep a sharp eye out for Phony-Ops. They will be coming at us as regular “news” features until Senator O wins. Then there'll be a lot more over the next four or eight years. But if John McCain wins you won’t see them, just as you haven't seen them with President Bush --- the most media-abused President since Ronald Reagan.

Just watch out for that little lump in your throat, the one that tells you, "Haven't I seen this before in Lord of the Rings?"

And whatever you do, don't swallow.

"Marketing Of A President"

Clip Source: www.americanthinker.com

As the rock website Pitchfork gushed:

"By land and by sea, they came to see the great man speak. An estimated 75,000 in all turned out to see presidential hopeful Barack Obama at Portland's Waterfront Park

How do we know all those Oregonians were there to celebrate a political messiah? Well, (indignantly) why else would 75,000 masses get together in Oregon, just when the media need to let The People know about Our Chosen King?

That's how they are building up Obama today. When they get done with him, Barack Obama will look like young King Aragorn out of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Return of the King.

Leni Riefenstahl was the "mythic" film propagandist for the Nazis -- and her methods are still being taught in film schools today. Soviet "Socialist Realism" was another big mythology-based propaganda art, and guess what? -- it just showed up again in Obama's campaign.

That's what they teach in all the Media Arts schools today, along with the usual Leftist indoctrination.

clipper's remarks: Hidden functionality on your Canon Point-and-Shoot Digital Camera

Clip Source: lifehacker.com

If you're using a consumer grade point-and-shoot Canon digital camera, you've got hardware in hand that can support advanced features way beyond what shipped in the box. With the help of a free, open source project called CHDK, you can get features like RAW shooting mode, live RGB histograms, motion-detection, time-lapse, and even games on your existing camera. Let's transform your point-and-shoot into a super camera just by adding a little special sauce to its firmware.

What You'll Need

Automatically Running CHDK

Once you've gotten comfortable with CHDK, you may want it to load automatically whenever you turn on your camera. The CHDK wiki explains how.

New York City in HDR

Here is my small collection of Tone Mapped - High Dynamic Range Images of New York City. Most of these images were shot with three to six separate exposures to create each image. I always shoot my HDR photos with my camera on a tripod to help ensure that the images will align correctly during the creation of the high dynamic image. After the HDR image is converted to a tone mapped file, I will use Photoshop to make contrast and saturation adjustments to help give the photos the look I am going for. It is true that if you are looking at an image (such as a JPG or PNG file) on the web somewhere it is not actually an HDR image but most likely a tone mapped LDR (low dynamic range) image from an HDR source file. If you click on any of the images it will take you to my Flickr page for that specific photo. I hope you enjoy the photos and please do not use them without permission.
