We Bombed in Side (pace Joseph Heller)288 viewsMichelle and Chuck warily approach the table aux bombes. Lap of Luxury279 viewsThe Kaya Side was probably the most luxurious hotel I've ever stayed in, not excepting Las Vegas. The roses and rose petals scattered around the bathroom added an extra touch of opulence to an already outstanding ambience. A Rapt Audience274 viewsOur tour group, along with other Kaya Side guests, gathers for the onset of the spectacle. An Embarrassment of Delicacies273 viewsThe goodies just went on and on. There was no ending to them. There was no way any one person could sample them all. Beachfront272 viewsIn the summer the beach would have been filled with vacationers under umbrellas (you can see the naked umbrella frames in this picture). But today there were no beachgoers, just eclipse-chasers, setting up their equipment on the solid ground in back of the hotel. Optical Delusion272 viewsAt first glance it appears that Michelle is using some weird kind of periscope here to shoot the eclipse. On closer inspection, it's just a regular camera shot against the background of a black pole sticking up out of the sand in back. Meanwhile, it appears as if Chuck Mattox is trying to stamp on some noxious insect about to pounce on the girl in front. Pianissimo270 viewsYou could say that this one really took the cake. Shooting the Eclipse270 viewsMichelle Evans borrowed an 8" Meade LX-200 Schmidt-Cassegrain (large scope in center) from Space Camp Turkey for the eclipse, but it was for visual use only, no photography. Some photographers were content with cameras on tripods (right of center). Others didn't event bother with tripods. Totality Sunset267 viewsAn unedited photo of the eclipse site at totality. Bombe260 viewsI can never see one of these desserts without being reminded of the 1978 movie "Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe," in which each of the chefs is murdered in a manner befitting his or her culinary specialty. Weather Readiness258 viewsElouise came prepared for extreme winter weather, up to and including Arctic blasts, while Chuck was all set for a balmy day at the beach. 47 files on 4 page(s) 1 2 3 4 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => b9ba2ffef88193c061556286e296c274 [am] => 1 ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (3.52 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (2.46 ms) [2] => SELECT session_id FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '0959f4f4b1a5cadb84986cb366c3016c' [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (1.02 ms) [3] => INSERT INTO `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions (session_id, time) VALUES ('0959f4f4b1a5cadb84986cb366c3016c', 1760239934) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (0.61 ms) [4] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.24 ms) [5] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (2.31 ms) [6] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.25 ms) [7] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (1.58 ms) [8] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (83.43 ms) [9] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-10-12 03:32:14' [include/init.inc.php:448] (1.59 ms) [10] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.211' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.79 ms) [11] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.28 ms) [12] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 29 [thumbnails.php:136] (2.95 ms) [13] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 14 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (1.75 ms) [14] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 29) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 [include/functions.inc.php:1717] (2.49 ms) [15] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 29) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 ORDER BY hits DESC, pid ASC LIMIT 0 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1734] (2.38 ms) [16] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (3.74 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => topn [cat] => -29 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [cpg16x_data] => YToyOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiJiOWJhMmZmZWY4ODE5M2MwNjE1NTYyODZlMjk2YzI3NCI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO30= ) ==========================
