And then Tuna redid it on their first album in '71. I like the second version better with Papa John on fiddle. I probably saw Tuna in different venues at least 30 times. They woud play the Capital Theater in Passaic at least twice a year and then do all of the colleges in the area too.

This is truly spectacular. A photo of a single trapped atom won the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council's (EPSRC) science photography contest back in 2015. The image, which is titled "Single Atom in an Ion Trap," was taken by David Nadlinger of the University of Oxford. Showcased in the image is single positively-charged strontium atom trapped by electric fields produced by metal electrodes.
According to the EPSRC, the image is a long exposure that was taken through an ultra-high vacuum chamber's window. A blue-violet laser was used to illuminate the atom, which absorbed light particles and then re-emitted them. That process produces enough light that a regular camera can photograph the atom if a long exposure is used.
Photographer and overall EPSRC contest winner David Nadlinger discussed the idea behind the image: "The idea of being able to see a single atom with the naked eye had struck me as a wonderfully direct and visceral bridge between the minuscule quantum world and our macroscopic reality. A back-of-the-envelope calculation showed the numbers to be on my side, and when I set off to the lab with camera and tripods one quiet Sunday afternoon, I was rewarded with this particular picture of a small, pale blue dot."

The residents of Charleston, West Virginia, saw their local Hooters as a landmark. It was a place where people could join together after children’s sports games and watch Ultimate Fighting Championship matches on the weekends. So when it was announced last week that the restaurant would be demolished and replaced with a Sheetz gas station, locals decided to rally together – and pay homage with a candlelit vigil.
This is a great story. Get the rest of it here.

ReplyDeleteTrump EVIL they say. I can buy obnoxious and pushy. But how is he evil? He's accused of being a racist - he's not. He was a womanizer - who isn't? He's generous and loves America. So libs, you can shut up about evil!
ReplyDeleteI could never figure out what was evil about The Donald. My SIL says, "he grabbed a woman by the p*$$y", but I haven't seen her come forward to make a complaint, probably still purring.
DeleteSorry Joe,I never was any kind of fan of Hall & Oates
ReplyDeleteI don't remember any fawning news coverage about how the lying sack of shit Joe Biden spent his summer vacation last year; do you?
ReplyDeleteLGBTQ marching at St. Patrick’s Day Parade shows how twisted they are.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that the pedos are protecting the pedo in the White House tells you everything you need to know about where we are going to wind up as a country....if Trump wins, he will have to fight the dems for 4 years and again, his agenda will be stalled, except for what can be managed in exec orders....then the dems will guarantee a win in 2028 by whatever means necessary....I won't be here then, but I pity those of you who will be....my children and grandchildren only have my generation, and to a certain extent, my parents generation, for the downfall of America....it was a good idea, but innate human evil will overcome any good...the light of the world, and the best hope for the common man, could not be allowed to continue...it is foretold in the Bible, but I understand that is not an option for many here as a definitive answer....mores the pity. and I pray for you all...
