The main highlight of any Olympic Games opening ceremony: the lighting of the Olympic cauldron by the Flame. First, the late Al Oerter (1936-2007) brings in the Olympic torch from outside the stadium. Oerter was the four-time Olympic champion in the discus throw event from Melbourne 1956 to Mexico City 1968 consecutively. Within the bowels of the stadium, the flame was passed from Oerter to Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield. He was the Los Angeles 1984 bronze medal winner in the light-heavyweight boxing event. He then popped out from the center of the stadium, from where the official opening speeches were spoken. As he carried the Olympic Flame closer to its final destination, he picked up Paraskevi ("Voula") Patoulidou of Greece (her name in Greek is Παρασκευή "Βούλα" Πατουλίδου) to accompany him. Patoulidou was the first Greek female athlete, at the time, to earn an Olympic medal in a track and field event. In Barcelona 1992, she won gold in the 100m hurdles event. She would "repeat" this scene again at the Athens 2004 opening ceremony, but by herself. I believe she is the only person to be allowed that kind of honor TWICE so far in modern Olympic history. Then, the Flame was passed to Janet Evans: a four-time Olympic gold medalist and an Olympic silver medalist in swimming from both Seoul 1988 and Barcelona 1992. Finally, the climax and the honor of lighting the Olympic cauldron was given to MUHAMMAD ALI (formerly named Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr). He was the Olympic champion and gold medalist in the light-heavyweight boxing event at Rome 1960. Kind of funny that the Flame would just "crawl" along the line up to the cauldron like that; never mind how some people reacted what the cauldron looked like then. Note: The "Ode To Joy" music was used mostly throughout this clip.

(12:17am) This is the entrance of the Olympic Flame into the Olympic Stadium and the Lighting of the Cauldron by Muhammad Ali hosted by Bob Costas & Dick Enberg to the music of Beetoven's "Ode to Joy". Athletes hand-off include: Al Oerter, Evander Holyfield, Voula Patoulidou, & Janet Evans. Others include Shaquille O'Neal & Michael Johnson. July 20th, 1996 Atlanta, Georgia USA I recommend viewing Janet Evans' video speech under her website on being a champion where she talks about this moment. http://www.janetevans.com/index2.html Click on "Speaking" then "Video Preview" at lower right of page.

From Their 1986 Album Skylarking. Lyrics: Drowning here in Summer's Cauldron Under mats of flower lava Please don't pull me out this is how I would want to go Breathing in the boiling butter Fruit of sweating golden Inca Please don't heed my shout I'm relax in the undertow When Miss Moon lays down And Sir Sun stands up Me I'm found floating round and round Like a bug in brandy In this big bronze cup Drowning here in Summer's Cauldron Trees are dancing drunk with nectar Grass is waving underwater Please don't pull me out this is how I would want to go Insect bomber Buddhist droning Copper chord of August's organ Please don't heed my shout I'm relax in the undertow When Miss Moon lays down In her hilltop bed And Sir Sun stands up Raise his regal head Me I'm found floating round and round Like a bug in brandy In this big bronze cup Drowning here in Summer's Cauldron

Rafer Johnson is the chosen to light the flame at the Los Angeles Olympic Colesseum. This is one of the best opening ceremonies.

The biggest moment of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games opening ceremony. An innovative way of lighting the Olympic Flame to the cauldron by Atlanta 1996 Olympic silver medalist in the women's 400m event at the time: Cathy Freeman. She went on to win the Olympic gold medal in these Games in the same women's 400m event. Note: Very sorry for the poor quality of the picture near the end of this clip. The VCR tape I had this recorded on was showing its age and I was concerned that I was going to lose this entire show because of that. I know that there is other YouTube uploads of this scene. You may want to look them up for better quality than this clip. At the end of this clip, fireworks go off at one of Stadium Australia, as the cauldron itself was assisted mechanically, to officially conclude the opening ceremony of these Games.

The moment of the opening ceremony. Chris Moon, of Great Britain, carries the Olympic torch to the stadium with the children. Jody Williams, an activist against land mines, is briefly shown here. Also, the torch makes its brief stop in front of Emperor Akihito.

Beijing, September 6th 2008. Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony Lighting of the Cauldron The cauldron of the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games was lit by Hou Bin, China's triple Paralympic high jump champion, in the National Stadium in north Beijing. The wheelchair athlete lifted himself through the air by hauling himself up on a rope to light the impressive cauldron.

Another great ZX Spectrum game. Help the pumpkin revenge! It was released by Palace Software on 1986 and it was developed by Steve Brown, Richard Leinfellner and Richard Joseph.

The original Booter version of "The Black Cauldron" as found on the Retrograde Station website, running on a REAL 1985 Tandy 1000 EX with 640K RAM and 6 Mhz 8088 Processor. This video also allows one to hear the seldom heard of Tandy 3-Voice DAC sound system. Before SoundBlaster, before Adlib, before Roland MT-32, we had TANDY 3-VOICE SOUND, which is really a derivative of the IBM PC Jr's sound system. Sierra (then known as Sierra On-line), released such pivotal games for the 1000/PC Jr. taking advantage of it's slightly oddball PC sound and video abilities starting with King's Quest in 1984, and other popular titles following such as Police Quest, Space Quest, and even Al Lowe's classic "Leisure Suit Larry In The Land of the Lounge Lizards".

Lighting of the Olympic Cauldron The Opening Ceremony of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games culminated in the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron by 1996 Gold Medalist Windsurfer Nikolaos Kaklamanakis. The gigantic cauldron, which was styled after the Athens 2004 Olympic Torch, pivoted down to be lit by the 35 year-old, before slowly swinging up and lifting the flame high above the stadium. Kaklamanakis would later win his silver medal in the men's mistral behind Israeli windsurfer Gal Fridman. Music: Finale from Pirogov, Dmitri Shostakovich

Lush Cocktail Ceridwen's Big Blue Cauldron of Spells :P 1 Big Blue 1 Ceridwen's Cauldron Jingle Spells I just realized that all of the "cocktails" I have posted have included Jingle Spells. I LOVE that bomb and I find it plays with with others for me. Sadly, this was the last of my little stash of JS dust and I will have to wait until the holiday season line comes out to get another batch. :( This cocktail was GREAT. The scent wafted out of my bathroom, through my room, and down the hallway. The water was gorgeous. I didn't want to get out. Ceridwen looks like a jellyfish floating in the ocean...
