2009-09-10 08:44:00 Empty shop in early September from Steve on Vimeo.Here's a quick video of where it's standing now. I've got to put the "back room" together and clean up the closets and get them shelved, and it'll be set to go. Diving's been real good the last little while, at least up through Sunday. I've got at least a 10 day stretch of charters coming up again starting Friday.
Oarfish longest bony fish
2009-08-22 14:10:00 Oarfish longest bony fishOarfish are large, greatly elongated, pelagic Lampriform comprising the small family Regalecidae. Found in all temperate to tropical oceans yet rarely seen, the oarfish family contains four species in two genera. One of these, the king of herrings (Regalecus glesne), is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest bony fish alive, at up to 11 metres (36 ft) in length.The common name oarfish is presumably in reference to either their highly compressed and elongated bodies, or to the former (but now discredited) belief that the fish "row" themselves through the water with their pelvic fins.The family name Regalecidae is derived from the Latin regalis, meaning "royal". The occasional beachings of oarfish after storms, and their habit of lingering at the surface when sick or dying, make oarfish a probable source of many sea serpent tales.Although the larger species are considered game fish and are (to a minor extent) fished commercially, oarfish a...

The Lost Weekend or The Longest Story Ever Told
2009-01-22 16:04:00 It’s impossible for me to overstate the amount of adoration I got goin’ on for *all* my loved ones, not just the people in this video. But these are totally my girls. Makes me wanna bring a camera with me wherever I go. To capture the love, laughter, and overall joy that is my life. You’ve been warned. It’s not really safe for work, what with all the loose lips. But. I will tell you this. I didn’t spend the whole weekend checking email on my blackberry. Pinky swear. You may have to hit rewind and watch it over and over again to get it all. Go ahead and relive the magic. Best lines? “I just came for the free pizza and beer.” “Julie, shut up. Let the lady finish her story.” And my personal favorite… “This is not a comedy.” Oh, but it is…

Canada's Longest Footbridge.
2008-08-18 18:13:00 Canada's Longest Footbridge.There are two footbridges over the canyon. Canada's longest footbridge extends an amazing 600 ft long across and is 152 ft above the ground.

Longest Day of the Year
2008-06-22 18:56:00 The summer solstice is the day of maximum sunlight hours, bringing the longest day and shortest night of the year. I’d like to think we put it to maximum use. As usual, Graidy greeted me at 4:50 a.m.by jumping up on the bed and licking my face until I woke up. Next to me on the floor, was Kiera on her dog bed. Finn was perched on the open window sill, twitching at every birdsong. The furry contingent and I made our way downstairs and outside for the first morning’s call. Then it was back inside for a quick breakfast. With coffee and computer, I got to work at my little makeshift office outside on the deck. There’s nothing I love better than watching the sun rise, the birds sing, and the day come to life. The early morning hours are my time to write. I’d made good progress, but couldn’t figure out where a couple of my pages had gone. Once the sun had come up, I could see that they’d been scattered around the yard by two common forces of nature arou...
Lyrics Quiz: Longest Songs
2008-06-15 05:00:00 This month’s Lyrics Quiz is pretty simple, I sorted my iTunes library by time and these are the twenty-five longest songs I have. Well, these are all album versions; I took out all the live songs, remixes and obscure songs. Each of these songs clock in at more than six and a half minutes and are ranked starting with the largest. As always you need to put both artist and title in the comments section (or you can e-mail me) and if you are correct I will un-bold it and give you credit. The Lyrics Quiz is for entertainment purposes only so please do not use anything besides your own meandering mind to help you up with the answers. Now onto the quiz:1. If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me? (Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd; guessed by Dara)2. Who's up for game three? I can barely see the bourbon drowning next to me and I just lost it all.3. I never wanted to be your weekend lover. I only wanted to be some kind of friend. Baby I could never steal you from another. It’s suc...
Kimbo Slice’s Longest Fight To Date… James Thompson, Plus Video
2008-06-01 14:58:00 Last night Kimbo Slice matched up with James Thompson at EliteXC Primetown. The event took place at the new Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, and was featured live on the first ever CBS Saturday Night Fights. In the past Kimbo’s professional fights lasted no longer than 43 seconds, that being a devastating Knock Out delivered by Kimbo, bringing the legendary UFC fighter Tank Abbott to his knees. But last night’s fight was different… Unlike past fights, Kimbo’s fight against James Thompson made it’s way into the third round. Much like the Kimbo “Underground Fight” against UFC Sean Gannon (watch below), Kimbo was completely winded from the length of the fight. After several close encounters on the mat which looked as if Kimbo would have his first pro loss, Kimbo pulled it together in the third round using his bread and butter striking skills to deliver several punches rocking, but not Knocking, James. Although loosing the fight, Jame...

The Longest Seven Days in America
2008-05-28 01:40:00 The current headline on the Huffington Post, in large red block letters, reads simply the following: SEVEN DAYS. Intrigued, I clicked on the headline, only to learn that the SEVEN DAYS refers to… a.) The number of days that remain on Earth until the Middle East finally self-combusts? b.) Or the number of days that remain until the entire human population is destroyed by an asteroid the size of a very large asteroid? c.) Or the number of days that remain until an awkwardly large percentage of society comes together in a nation-wide mass suicide, due to the second place finish of David Archuleta? Of course not. Let's not be mostly ridiculous. The SEVEN DAYS on the Huffington Post refers to the number of days remaining until the Democratic primaries are officially over. And if you think you're hearing legions of angels singing the "Hallelujah" chorus, you are correct. While Hillary will most stay likely stay in the race until Arbor Day 2009 (or until all the trees d...

Longest Walk herald for Mother Earth at Kansas Capitol
2008-05-03 09:37:00 by Brenda Norrell Dennis Banks, cofounder of the American Indian Movement, and Kickapoo Chairman Steve Cadue joined forces on the steps of the Kansas Statehouse to draw attention to the destruction of Mother Earth, vanishing rivers and assaults on American Indian rights. Standing with the Longest Walkers, Kickapoo Chairman Cadue said his people in northern Kansas have been hauling water around the clock because the Delaware River is dry, threatening the economic and cultural survival of his people. Although Kickapoo water rights are ensured by treaty and federal law, the Kickapoo must now spend enormous amounts of money to obtain water and their right to water for the future. “If the Kickapoo tribe loses our argument for water in the court system, we will cease to exist as a viable sovereign Indian Tribe in the next decade.” “We had the right to the water and the land before the establishment of Kansas,” Chairman Cadue said. The federal court case, the Winters...

The Longest Real Estate Closing Ever?!?! Finally - Resolution!
2008-05-01 21:23:00 January 9, 2008 was a LONG time ago! On that date, I went into contract with a buyer of one of my properties. Fast forward one hundred and fourteen days later (114) - Today - And look at my joy! WE FINALLY CLOSED!! In that time, my buyer went through 2 mortgage brokers, 3 banks, and I think we’ve both lost more than a little bit of our hair. We’ve dealt with countless people who repeatedly lied to us about closing dates. We’ve spoken with many individuals who WOULDN’T commit to ANY closing date, despite that being the norm - isn’t it? To say that the banks and others we’ve dealt with simply toyed with our emotions, would be putting it kindly. Throughout this horrifying experience, I did learn a few things: The banks don’t want to lend out money anymore - with the government clamping down and mortgage write-offs in the high billions, it seems that banks are doing everything in their power to avoid giving out loans.

Longest bus ride ever!
2008-03-21 16:12:00 Permanently living in the province but studying in the city allows me to take a bus ride at least twice a week. I get to go home on weekends.During my freshman year, the bus ride (from the Cubao terminal along EDSA to the San Fernando intersection) took at least 1.5 hours. But as the NLEX underwent many improvements through the years, the travel time was gradually shortened. When they repaired the old NLEX, the trip was cut to around 1 hour. And when the brand new NLEX was opened, the trip was cut to 45-50 minutes ? barring any traffic jam along EDSA. (It wasn?t exactly a ?new? expressway though, because technically it was the same road. But the new NLEX was brought about by extensive and expensive renovations throughout the entire stretch of the expressway. Not to mention a brand new management). I would normally spend the trip sleeping while listening to music with either my mp3 player or cell phone.Throughout the years, there were instances when the bus ride would take longer tha...
