I've seen some of her work, she had a good eye. It's kind of mind boggling how many she accumulated, especially figuring she was working with film, and had to be throwing a percentage of the pictures she took away.

I saw that. Liked it so much I googled her work. Captivating stuff

"Welcome To Union Glacier"

Fullscreen is more better.



Or, watch it at Vimeo.

The Death of Superman Lives - What Happened? An interesting behind the scenes look at the collapse of a blockbuster movie.

RE: Post #78:

WTF happened with that second video getting put there? That was just a link to the vid's Vimeo page. And why does it look different than the other one?

ETA: In the preview it just looks like a link. Weird.

The truth behind the Nevada Triangle.
I watched it on Netflix,

Apparently over 2000 aircraft, small ones, have dissapeared over the Sierra Nevada mountains since 1962, that's a lot of planes, interesting...

One of these was Steve Fossett, super rich guy and avid aviator, I remember the hoo ha and huge search effort at the time, but not really any of the follow up.

The documentary does a good job of mixing the general story of the loss of planes and this one famous incident. The bit I didn't know, they found Fossetts plane a few years later, random discovery by a hiker, some remains, and explained why it went down, there's a very strong air condition that can occur in certain conditions due to the geography, if you get in it you're done.

That's all nonsense, it's aliens I tell you, snatching planes right out of the air. They beam them up, transmogrify the planes into common air pollution and anal probe the pilots until they refuse to leave. honest. :crone:

Star Wars: A New Gaming Era on Fusion followed by Bears on Starz Kids & Family.

Vorlons?

Not on tv - via Youtube, but this was really fascinating (I thought). A case study in moral panic and censorship from 1980s Britain. As someone who both remembers this particular moral panic very clearly, and has an abiding interest in schlocky horror movies, i found it particularly interesting - but anyone with an interest in censorship and questions of freedom of artistic expression would also find it interesting I think.

We stayed at the house Wednesday night on our way up North. He has 12 panels and a windmill which generally does the job. There is a generator tied in to top off the batteries if needed but it apparently doesn't come on often. The battery bank is in the basement. I was there when he did his monthly maintenance topping off the batteries that need more water.

What kind of batteries for that setup, big like forklift batteries, or like car batteries, or something special?

$5k a year for electricity and heat? $5,000 a year????

Yumpin' Yiminy.:eek:

What was the most recent documentary you watched on TV?
 

Something on public television about elephants.

Deep cycle marine batteries


I don't know where that $50k number comes from.
