    China’s fake Olympic fireworks
    2008-08-15 00:39:27
    Like had been reported last week about this year’s Olympic broadcasting high-tech would be, we did not guessing that a Chinese press and media would uncover the fact that in the opening ceremonies some of the fireworks were actually CGI animation. A 29 footprint-shaped fireworks series really did “march” across Beijing last Friday night, but [...]...

    Fireworks in Ibiza Town last night
    2008-08-09 04:27:23
    Ibiza Town for the annual huge fireworks show is normally a roadblock and is packed, so as a good friend has a roof top terrace with a view of the marina we thought we’d view it from there - there was lots of oohs & aaahs. The fireworks lasted for a solid 20 minutes and [...]...

    Tajimi City Fireworks Festival 2008
    2008-08-04 03:23:00
    As with many places around Japan in August,Tajimi City holds a summer festival complete with dancing competitions,food stalls,parades and fireworks.The area has recently made the headlines for having very hot summer temperatures.Yesterdaywas no exception.Even though I didnt get out to Tajimi until 4pm it was still noticeably hotter than Nagoya although its only 45 minutes distant by train.Obviously being surrounded by low hills explains the higher temperatures.There were the usual food stalls one expects to see at such events though I dont think there were as many as last year.Nor for that matter do I think the crowds that massed on both banks of the Toki River were as large as I recall.Which meant that it was easier and more comfortable to pick a spot to view the firework displays.The fireworks began as usual on the stroke of 7:30pm.And continued for the next hour to the accompaniment of very loud J-Pop music and a distorted shrill female voice.There was a noticeable light wind which ...

    Beijing Beefs Up Security: No Fireworks
    2008-06-10 06:45:14
    Crackers and fireworks will be banned across Beijing from July 1 to Oct. 8 for safety considerations before and during the Olympics and the Paralympics, the city's safety administration said Monday. According to new regulations published on the administration's website, Beijing's cracker and fireworks ban, formerly applicable only in the city proper, will be extended to outer areas beyond the Fifth Ring Road.Crackers and fireworks are banned in Beijing's city proper except for the festive week of the Chinese Lunar New Year. But the festive explosives are almost always available in outer Beijing, where dealers have distribution and storage facilities. The new regulations will request them to suspend operation during the ban and put away all their stocks at warehouses designated by the safety authority. To tighten up safety during the Games, Beijing Work Safety Administration has also requested round-the-clock safety watch at gasoline stations within 300 meters to all Olympic venues. Dur...

    Oliebollen and fireworks
    2008-01-07 07:49:00
    On the last day of the year we like to make ‘oliebollen’ (kind of like donuts without a hole), which we intend to eat while we wait for midnight. And of course the leftovers will be finished somewhere in the beginning of the new year. Being such a typical New Year’s Eve treat you can get readymade oliebollen everywhere on the 31st of December, but my mom always makes her own and they are way better than the ones you can buy on the street. Only this year my mom had to work on the last day of the year, so she didn’t have enough time for the whole process of making the oliebollen, so I volunteered to help her. Which is only fair because I kind of pressure her into making them year after year after year. Take the easy-way out and buy oliebollen-mix (which are bound to be on sale on December 31st and easy to find in any supermarket) and empty the package in a big bowl:Add water and beer (don't worry you won't taste it or get drunk from it) to the bowl and use an electronic mixer to mix it all up:Add an extra ingredient if you wish, like sliced apple or raisins, or pear like in my example and mix it all up some more with the electronic mixer:After you’ve let the mix rise (for a long while) in a warm room or above a heater, give it all back to your mother because she’s back from work and knows what to do best. She’s puts blobs of your mix in a pan with very hot sunflower oil (at least that’s what I think it is) and waits for the swimming blobs become brown before she fishes them out again:Put the oliebollen on some kitchenpaper (to get rid of some of the fat) and add a large amount of powdered sugar while the oliebollen are still warm (so the sugar can melt into them): Of course we made too many oliebollen, because we had a lot of guests for New Year’s Eve and we wanted to make sure we had enough. But I think Yasu didn’t really like them, and I got sick that evening (not from the oliebollen) so we didn’t really eat many, and two of the other guests ...

    Tajimi City Fireworks Festival
    2007-07-30 03:53:00
    Tajimi City like many other places in Japan has its own fireworks festival.It was held yesterday.Its an all day affair.A sound stage is set up early on the day of the festival.Various dance groups perform during the day.When I left at 10pm there was still a huge audience squatting and sitting in front of the stage by the station. Various food stalls are set up on both banks of the Toki River near the centre of town where the fireworks are set off.Another shot of food on offer.It was a humid night and I felt sorry for the people cooking over the hot metal plates.The fireworks themselves begin promptly at 7:30pm and last for one hour.There are two alternative sites where the fireworks are set off.I tend to favor a bridge that is between the two sites.Some of the fireworks are set off with a background of music such as The Eagles "Desperado" which seems a bit incongruous with the happy family atmosphere that fireworks seem to create....

    A Game Delayed By...Fireworks?
    2007-07-28 20:25:00
    Last night I went to my third Brooklyn Cyclones game of the 2007 season. The team is having a fabulous season, and they have the best record of any team in the New York-Penn League. The season is about at its midway point. The Cyclones are the Mets Rookie "A" team, and they play a 76-game schedule.Last night they hosted the Vermont Lake Monsters, the Washington Nationals' affiliate. (They used to be called the Expos, but when the big club left Montreal, they changed the team name to "Lake Monsters." Who thought that one up?) It was a very good, well-played game. It was scoreless through nine innings.Vermont loaded the bases in the tenth, and got the game's first run with two outs on a walk with a 3-2 count. The game stayed 1-0 when the Cyclones took their turn in the 10th. Then a really scary moment happened. I had a seat behind home plate, and could see and hear very clearly Cyclones second baseman J.R. Voyles get hit squarely in the head with a pitch that got away. He laid down on...

    A Day of Gluttony and Fireworks
    2007-07-05 17:43:00
    It's become a big deal over the last few years, and I have no idea why. The Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest on July 4th has grown in popularity, so much so that ESPN now shows it live. (Does this mean that Hot Dog Eating is now a sport? And why does ESPN show "The National Spelling Bee" every year too? Is that a sport now, too?) They even had a "weigh-in" of the contestants on Friday. (Is there actually a weight limit to all this hijinx?)I had it on for a few seconds yesterday, watching these guys shove franks into their faces as fast as they could. Just watching it I thought I'd lose my cookies. Welcome to "The Wide World of Gluttony."And then I thought of that new Geico commercial I see, the one that goes, "There are better ways to spend 15 minutes online" (or in this case, watching TV). Heck, 30 seconds was enough for me.I understand that some guy named Joey Chestnut won the title back from the immortal Kobayashi, who wins it every year. Well, thank God the hot dog eating champi...

For your holiday music, check out nine versions of Stars and Stripes Forever, including one with the words, and one on hand fart. Right here, you can enjoy fireworks, watching a video or reading up on them before dark, which is when the fireworks start. When I had a radio job, I'd be spending all day answering the phone and it was always the same "What time do the fireworks start?" 9:30. "That's kinda late, isn't it?" Duh, that's when it's dark! You want fireworks before sunset? You'd think everyone would know by now... there are fireworks displays on every neighborhood, right in the middle of the streets, every night from dark t...
