"Up Up and Away"

Albuquerque,New Mexico,USA.is the home of the International Balloon Fiesta.It is a nine day event which takes place yearly in early October and attracts approx.750 balloonists.The event is the largest hot air balloon festival in the world.

- Up up and Away - #1

There are several events of which the following are the more popular.

Mass Ascension - One of the biggest events of the fiesta where all participants launch in two waves...filling the sky with hundreds of balloons.

- Up Up and Away - #2

- Up Up and Away - #3

Special Shape Rodeo - Many non-traditional,uniquely shaped balloons are launched at the same time.Some of the most famous shapes,include a milk cow,a wagon coach,twin bees,soda pop cans and animals.This is the most popular part of the event as families can see how balloons can be all different shapes and sizes.

- Up Up and Away - #4

Balloon Glows - Large numbers of balloons are illuminated at night by their propane burners.They remain in their spot and do not take off.During these events the "Glowdeo" is also featured... a night glow for the special shaped balloons.

- Up Up and Away - #5

Special Events and Competition.

- The fiesta challenge is a game where balloonists attempt to drop a marker closest to a target ( a circle on the ground)

- The key grab is when the balloonist's task is to line up the balloon so he able to reach and grab the key shaped object which is mounted on top of a pole in order to claim the $2000 to $4000 prize.

- Other events include piloting skills,speed competitions and more...

- Up Up and Away - #6

The excitement starts around the mid-way mark where he actually touches the key...but is not able to get a good grip on it...gotta feel sorry for the guy !...but at least he hits the target (the circle) with the marker on the second try.

Climb aboard the future of high-speed intercity transportation. A new public railway for America that can transport passengers at speeds greater than 200 MPH (320 Kmph). Video produced by me, based on footage I shot at the traveling exhibit of this new technology on its first stop in Florida in the city of Tampa. The exhibit features a full-scale model and simulator ride of the new Velaro high-speed train by Siemens. Click the picture to view the video.

Hey Wolf, nice presentation in a video format.

Any chance you could explain ( in a nutshell ) to myself and others who might be interested, the process from A to B.
Did you do the embedding of the president and the other 2 interviewees onto the video yourself...that's really cool!...and how about the animated map ?

Hmm, wouldn't want to disclose too much about how I do things in the editing suite cos that'd be giving away too many tricks of my trade. But in a nutshell I shot the video of the exhibit including the ride simulation and I put all that together with the other ingredients here in my edit station. You can see by my videos on my YT channel that I don't horse around when I produce a vid. I'm glad you enjoyed this latest one of the Siemens trains. More to come, so stay tuned.

- Vibrators/Dildos -

Vibrators have come a long way since Dr.Joseph Mortimer Granville patented the first one around 1880.
Gone are the days when woman had to plug their sex toys into the wall and hope the cord would reach the closet.These are the days of glow-in-the-dark, 27-setting,waterproof,music-playing dildos with wireless internet capability....Below are just a few of the many "not so conventional" toys one may or may not be familiar with.



The Hizamakura Lap Pillow - Longing for the feeling of comfort and warmth you only get from a woman's lap?...then this pillow,kneeling in japannese-style,gives the best re-creation available.



The Fleshlight - A male sex toy in the shape of a flashlight (based on tools) was inevitable...listed in the "sex in a can" category.





The Dongball and EZ Rider ( cushion ) - A dildo mounted on a inflatable ball and cushion...simple ! just get on and ride em' cowgirl...HEE HAW!




The Cone - Judging by it's shape, most people would never think of it as a vibrator.One can descend on it,whether by sitting,squatting,croutching or mounting it and experience pleasurable vibrations...there is even a "wall mounting unit" option.

[tjsunray]

The Key Chain Vibrator - Pure genius !...who wouldn't want a vibrator on their keychain ?...the flower power key chain vibrator offers clitorial stimulation and it is always handy.



The Delight Vibrator - This delightful piece looks like a black and white swan.The hook tickles the G Spot while an extra protrusion stimulates the clitoris.It measures 11 inches long and 2.5 inches wide.



The Talking Head Vibrator - It comes with 64 MB of Ram so you can pretty much download whatever music you want to "do your thing" to.It also includes a USB Port, a internal microphone ( to record your fantasies) and a pair of headphones.



The Oh My Bod Vibrator - Plugs into your iPod (and most MP3 and laptops) and will vibrate in sync. with your favourite music.



The Alien Penis - This vibrator isn't just for Muff...but the neighboring hole too and comes equipped with a remote to pick your own pleasurable speed.

[tjsunray]

The Chin Dildo - Pretty well self explanatory...just need very strong neck muscles i guess...the back and forth motion could result in a stiff neck as well (pun intended )



The Tonque Joy - Attaches to the tonque or any other parts of the body(presumably the penis as well) using any one of three different size rubber bands.




The Sqweel - Is a 10 tonque simulator made of soft and rubbery tonques...totally gentle on the nether-regions and comes with 3 speed setting for the very sensitive.



The Concubine Masturbator - It's basically all sexually organs amalgamated into one handy toy...wonder if there is an anus on the back ?

[tjsunray]

The Octopussy Vibrator - This one looks very innocent but i would keep it away from the kids.



The Pussy Foot - For foot lovers...on the bottom of this silicone foot is a vagina,because God forgot to put one there !



The Oral Sex Snorkel - Allows you to breath normally while giving her a long lustful licking she'll never forget...chances are it will result in gut wrenching laughter as well...we all know how big of a turn on that is.



The Middle Finger Vibrator - It will literally fuck you.



Sex Toys for Dogs - Why should we humans have all the fun.Isn't only fair that man's best friend should be allowed to join in ?

[tjsunray]

The Bicycle Dildo - Thought i'd save the best for the last. "Peddle and Pump" your way to an orgasm but be careful and concentrate on the traffic, particularly just before you feel your climax cuming on and the urge is to speed up the pumping up/down action.

p.s The weirdest picture just crossed my mind...almost choked on my coffee !...imagine wearing the Chin Dildo and the Oral Sex Snorkel at the same time as you go down for a dip.

Fantastic Video:

From watching this video, you can see why the U-2 is considered the most difficult plane in the world to fly. Each pilot has a co-pilot, who
Chases the plane on the runway in a sports car. Most of the cars are either Pontiac GTOs or Chevrolet Cameros - the Air Force buys American.
The chase cars talk the pilot down as he lands on bicycle-style landing gear. In that spacesuit, the pilot in the plane simply cannot get a good view of the runway.
Upon takeoff, the wings on this plane, which extend 103 feet from tip to tip, literally flap. To stabilize the wings on the runway, two pogo sticks on wheels prop up the ends of the wings. As the plane flies away, the pogo sticks drop off. The plane climbs at an amazing rate of nearly 10,000 feet a minute.
Within about four minutes, I was at 40,000 feet, higher than any commercial airplane. We kept going up to 13 miles above Earth's surface.
You get an incredible sensation up there. As you look out the windows, it feels like you're floating, it feels like you're not moving, but you're actually
Going 500 mph. The U-2 was built to go higher than any other aircraft. In fact today, more than 50 years since it went into production, the U-2 flies higher than any aircraft in the world with the exception of the space shuttle. It is flying more missions and longer missions than ever before - nearly
70 missions a month over Iraq and Afghanistan, an operational tempo that is unequaled in history. The pilots fly for 11 hours at a time, sometimes more than 11 hours up there alone. By flying so high, the U-2 has the capability of doing reconnaissance over a country without actually violating
Its airspace. It can look off to the side, peering 300 miles or more inside a country without actually flying over it. It can "see" in the dark and through clouds. It can also "hear," intercepting conversations 14 miles below. The U-2, an incredible piece of history and also a current piece of high technology, is at the center of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Enjoy the ride!
