  • Libyan Eclipse 2006
    Libyan Eclipse 2006 HIGHLIGHTS PACK Libyan Eclipse 2006 By Anthony Ham Anthony’s love affair with Libya began on his first visit in 2001, and by the time he’d fin- ished Lonely Planet’s guide to Libya a few months later, the country had won his heart. First drawn to the country by its isolation and by his experience elsewhere of the Arab hospitality that puts to shame media stereotyping about the region, Anthony quickly made numerous Libyan friends and set about pursuing his new passion with them – exploring the inexpressible beauty of the Sahara. A full-time writer and photographer, Anthony returns to Libya from his home in Madrid whenever he can and loves the fact that the world is finally discovering that Libya is so much more than Colonel Gaddafi.

  • THIRTY YEARS 1990-Present It Is Nearly Impossible To
    OREO BLUE – THIRTY YEARS 1990-Present It is nearly impossible to sum up thirty years of Oreo Blue in one statement. However, one word comes to mind: Perseverance. In 1990, Brian Crowne had a vision to form a relevant blues-rooted band and he had the work ethic to drive the band through a multitude of personnel changes and musical market fluctuations to reach that goal. Hailing from the industrial- manufacturing city of Fort Smith, Arkansas, Brian had been influenced early on by The Blues Brothers following their hit movie in 1980. “I saw the Blues Brothers in the early 80s and the music really intrigued me and I liked the horns in the band,” Crowne says. He quickly took to the saxophone, learning to play, without any musical training. “I had to go back and teach myself how to read music. What I would do is read it and remember it and I had it memorized and faked my way into being in a big band.” Brian teamed up with local Brian Crowne University of Arkansas African- American vocal music major, Billy Rigsby, schoolmate and bassist, Rod Williamson and guitarist friend, Bryan Martin. The mix of black and white players in the band formed a visual for what they believed to be the coming together of African-American blues Rod Williamson rooted music and "blue-eyed" soul music that was being leveraged by white rock and blues bands such as the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and, of course, The Blues Brothers more specifically. The name of the band might have started as a tongue-and-cheek pun on the blended genre, but Oreo (like the cookie...black and white together) and Blue (like the color, but more so, the genre of the Blues) stuck together as Oreo Blue and helped summarize a racial harmony in music celebrating all contributions.

More people have started to travel to view annular eclipses of late, taking advantage of the fact that because it is not the huge draw that total eclipses are, crowds are pretty much non-existent for annular eclipses. It is also due to eclipse chasers who are retiring from their jobs or any eclipse chaser who has the desire to travel to new places and experience another location in the world. A few chasers are picking viewing sites nearer the edge of the path of annularity in order to view and record Baily’s Beads, and in some cases, also to see solar prominences and even on rarer occasions, the chromosphere. In recent years, serious eclipse chasers have done great work making chromospheric observations during annular eclipses, even long-duration eclipses like that on 2010 January 15. On the shortest duration of annular eclipses, there was the remarkable eclipse of 1984 May 20, where a few of us witnessed and imaged the entire chromosphere in the “11-second” annular eclipse in the USA, where a remarkable 160,000-kilometer-high prominence and over 100 Baily’s beads, were observed.
