Bear with it.

It starts getting good about two minutes in.

Don't worry about the fact that the narration is in german.

It's funny whether or not you understand it.

wolf 06-05-2003 01:25 AM

Wow. I really would love to see a lot of those. Especially " 0168.0 Tapes of Wrath - Gag Reel"

But most of the interview tapes intrigue me as well.

Do you think they do online rentals like Netflix?

This is a blog from Baghdad. It's achived back a couple years and current. Day to day life in Baghdad through the war is extremely interesting. The latest entry is at the top of the page, so if you want to read in order go to the bottom of the page. The mood and opinion shifts from day to day are worth noting.

2. UT, I thought you had things set up such that a person's first post couldn't include a link?

Undertoad 07-14-2003 02:00 PM

No, it's only worded like that on the register page so spammers aren't as interested in us.

I'm sorry my first post had you worried. I should have explained what the file is...

Its a Japanese TV show's rendition of what ping pong would be like if played in The Matrix. Its very funny, is not spam and is not a virus.

I've been lurking on the boards for a couple weeks now and thought I had already introduced myself. Obviously not. FWIW, I live in the Blue Mountains, near Sydney, Australia, am over 35, and work in software development. :)

Some highlights:

<i>"Pokemon Prove Evolutionism Is False" - Paul Sanborn (grade 4)

"Women Were Designed For Homemaking"</i>

and NUMBER ONE AND THE BEST:

<i>1st Place: "Using Prayer To Microevolve Latent Antibiotic Resistance In Bacteria"
Eileen Hyde and Lynda Morgan (grades 10 & 11) did a project showing how the power of prayer can unlock the latent genes in bacteria, allowing them to microevolve antibiotic resistance. Escherichia coli bacteria cultured in agar filled petri dishes were subjected to the antibiotics tetracycline and chlorotetracycline. The bacteria cultures were divided into two groups, one group (A) received prayer while the other (B) didn't. The prayer was as follows: "Dear Lord, please allow the bacteria in Group A to unlock the antibiotic-resistant genes that You saw fit to give them at the time of Creation. Amen." The process was repeated for five generations, with the prayer being given at the start of each generation. In the end, Group A was significantly more resistant than Group B to both antibiotics.

The excellent site which Perth linked us to (and which I have poked around on a time or two) has held me rapt for the past couple of hours as I looked for items of local interest.

I found a subject near and dear to my heart, namely Longview Farms. Longview Farms was a grand private farm operation, constructed by lumber baron RA Long and complete in 1914. It is about three miles from my house as the crow flies, and I have been enthralled with the place ever since I was a kid. It was, of course, long deteriorated and mostly abandoned by the time I moved out to this part of town in 1969, but all of the old structures were intact at that time, if somewhat abused.

It is really difficult to describe the grandness of it all, but someone in our government had the foresight to survey and document it in conjunction with the planning and construction of the lake that now covers a large portion of the original property. Although many of the structures *still* survive, and are even used (the main mansion and the chapel are actively used...I've even been to weddings in each of the structures.) to this day.

Some of the buildings have been razed over the years. The show horse barn (Long's daughter was a world renowned horsewoman, and the farm was largely built for her use as a breeder and horse person) burned in the 70's (probably due to some kids partying in it, if memory serves me...the whole place was a very attractive nuisance to us young hippies back in the day). As I mentioned before, a large part of the land is now underwater, and much of the rest is being developed as subdivisions. In fact, a friend of mine just built a house about a quarter mile behind the water tower you'll see if you go to the link below.

The link takes you to only a small part of the documentation available...if interested, go to the search function and type in "Longview Farm", and see what's there.

Maybe it is only fascinating to me, but someone else out there might find some value in it. It is a piece of my youth in a way...my wife went to the community college that is now located immediately west of the water tower in the aerial view of the place. The large pond in that same photo is still there, and I drive by it frequently on the road that now crosses from Grandview to Lee's Summit. Another picture shows a period photo of a small waterfall on the Little Blue River, a place my friends and I used to jeep across when the land was federally owned but not yet underwater.

Sigh...memories. Isn't that what this site was all about? Well, for me, there's some damn personal memories there. Library of Congress = Good!

i spent several hours yesterday doing the same thing.

i live near garden of the gods and its fascinating to see how it has changed over the years.

ive always loved estes park but this is a side of it ive never seen.

most of the images appear to have copyright information attached, and a lot of them appear to be in the public domain. it would be neat to get the high-res images, print them, say 10-12 inches high by however long and have them framed. nice conversation pieces.
