Circumnavigation (99 +12) Coming to a Head
hh5 replied to C James's topic in C James Fan Club's Topics
I was watching the making of Scream\Scary Movie .... I think Basingstoke is in love with offing Trevor ... now to catch him in a speedo !!! We wonder if he will do it while he is barely conscious ... rather than unconscious ... or add plenty of struggle ... with his legs kicking around ... will Basingstoke ponder to do this bite slow or fast? .. will he leave a shark tooth? ... but it won't turn out well in autopsy when it doesn't match bite marks -

mmmm, clifhanger? Will our hero die? Will he get warned in time? Its surprising ... the military boat is chicken to a drug boat? Hey with fuel dumping ... bridget can shoot the fuel for fire effects? lol, did CJames delay the chapters so he won't be voted for Clifthanger awards? but any way he can qualify for 2012 Clifhanger Awards -
I found Titanic Facts The Titanic was traveling 22.5 knots while cruising through iceberg laden waters. Just .5 knot from her maximum speed capability. Sounds like she was on a race to beat Olympics speed record. much like Concordia trying to beat a rival Captains Record

Titantic has April 15th Tax Day Concordia has Friday the thirteenth - Freddy's Kruger's Day With the lights going out ... it sets the stage for a horror flick Again Just like the Titanic ... New RULES!! ... LOL I found out the ship is owned by Carnival (Miami) like wow how many times Carnival gets into the news ... last time I remember was a new kind of virus on three cruise ships ... Anyone see the National Geographic on the Ships Disaster? Wow it does have water tight compartments ... it suppose to be ok with two compartments like titanic with its four but three of them were exposed to a 160 ft gash ... sounds very titanic (four plus one!!!) ... there she goes ... The people on the ship can only remember the Movie Titanic ... with Celine Dion's Signature Song!! Hey will the ship slip from its ledge down 300 ft to the bottom or will they be able to save the ship? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrPA0LoGYp0 Should Francesco Schettino get the Captain Smith Award?? 30 / 4200 => 0.71% 798 / 1503 => 53.1% Can we say even with Murphy Laws in effect ... only 0.71% was lost ... that's pretty good compared ... that's 26 times better than Titanic. ( 53.1% / 1.99% => 26 times better in 100 years ) So with the new rules in place are they trying to get this down to Zero% or even prevent this kind of disaster from happening?

well it still looks like a Titanic senerio ... all we need is two guys up in the crows nest to scream boulder port side dead ahead its like the captain didn't really study the maps n data ... he assumed Was the rival competition suppose to be done in the dark? Its not that he did his turn late ... he didn't know there was a third rock he didn't check sonar ... he did something you should do during the day time doesn't he get .... your in trouble no matter what time of day you do it he just did it when none of the passengers would be witnesses to his crime
-
sounds like that's only enough to ship the body and pay for burial with people screaming my ____ is worth more than that

Yeah, I has the scared little boy in me too. But, regular real hugs goes a long way as well as doing things together. I guess we need a group home for us. Its good to hear that you come a long way in opening up.

I am considering shutting down my individual health insurance because I don't have a job. Even if i could continue to afford the insurance I could not take care of the 3000 Deductable any way plus they have a Exclusionary Rider on my NF (this different that PreExisting Condition) The only benefit to having insurance is its like a discount club. You are insured against the Cash Price. I been told by sales that if I had a health issue that falls under the Exclus Rider, I would pay the Discounted Health Costs and avoid the Cash Cost. I like to know if there are issues for canceling Indiv health insurance? Like if I got a job and they offer their worker insurance group, would there be a problem? Like if I wanted to go back on Indiv Health Ins, what would be the problem? etc lol, The New Health Care is still far away like two years but then that will be another issue\question. Any response be thankful to help me understand my choices?

Would you hate to learn the Titanic fate was a result from a challenge? For Titanic it was who can make the best time across the Atlantic. A unofficial race between Titanic n Olympic. For the two rival Italian Captains its who can get closer to the island with a Cruise Ship!! How daff can they be? To repeat a challenge. This kind of proof should get the other Captain fired as well. Putting passengers safety at risk.
-
I took a look the distance between the island and the land is 8 miles. He really should have steered the ship within 1 to 4 miles of the land if you are suppose to adhere to shipping lanes. Hence yield to the right. Was he driving british? Yield to the left? Now a days, do captains really plot courses ... I though they had helms man and navigators? So there wasn't a course warning ... with that one mile rule of thumb? when the captain plotted? or did he override the safety? Gosh his statement on TV before his arrest sure did sound like he didn't read navigation for dummies? lol, I thought the rule of thumb was for tankers? but i guess from your share ... a tanker would always stay in the deepest part in the lane and go real slow with no sharp turns like that it seems the captain set the course ... and went for party dinner ... leaving no one qualified to man the ship http://www.qps.nl/do...ncordia%202.jpg the news must have showed the rock that the captain claimed he was 300yd away but really its like 150yd from the land with an added lame excuse ... that rock wasn't on the chart? like who is that crazy to drive close to land? did they do a drug test on the captain when he got arrested? the computers shouldn't allow this course? wasn't the ship fighting a current? hence the one mile rule is very wise rule indeed Here is some superstition ... Titanic sank on tax day ... the Concordia sank on Friday 13th - Freddy Kruger Day!!

I think I need learn to sleep at a proper time and get up time as well. Its so easy to screw up my biorhythm @Mark >> I see myself as ugly...because I was always told that I see your avatar pic .. you're not ugly ... your better than average ... I bet I am not the only one to say ... your hot!! I think you just encounter mean and abusive people .... just as much as what ever I encounter in my life sad to say how it shaped our lives ... I bet Joe can attest to his experience as well. Its just a pitty we all can't really meet each other and help each other out for real more like the neighborly thing to do Has anyone from GA visited you?

That looks more like the ship was fish tailing like a rear wheel drive car in snow. Since the ship is almost 1000 ft long ... he needs to be at least 500 yd away from the cost his excuse of 300 yd is lame especially if he says 150yd is sufficient does the ship have accurate sonar to get an idea of how the cost looks like? if it didn't then 500yd should have been the safe distance. The news showed that if he stayed in the accepted shipping lanes then this accident would never have happen. oh a small story related to doria, there is a privately amature built sub thats ship wreck in NYC ... the guy was building it to savage the dora. He planned to patch up the side of the ship and blow air to raise it. Well, the sub was too heavy to lift into the water. So they removed the ballast tanks and then told the crane operator to not release the sub into the water until they reinstalll the tanks guess what ... it was released lol and then the sub sank and over the years drifted to its current rotting position and stayed there for 50 years.

I think I wonder about what the little collision yielded in the dancing?? it does gives certain audience members some excitement Is this a correct dicken's interpretation? oh is this the other reason to moan? lol!!

oh joy that's some way to celebrate titanic 100th anniversary of its sinking ... don't tell celine that her song was attributed with the disaster the real disaster is the captain, the crew, the panic and disorder, how the ship was run in terms of deviating from acceptable standards ... like not carrying out the lifeboat drills ... steering the ship close to rocks ... as proved by videos of the ship going through that same spot during other cruises .... partying having higher priority than safety ... the mentality\behavior exhibited by the captain ... I wonder if they tested him for drugs? ... only one coast guard ship responding? this is how titanic it was ... the many errors ... that add up to its sinking according to seconds from disaster ... the key thing to titanics doom ... an officer had locked away the binoculars and left the shift with the key at their last stop ... the radio man who got angry because of his ears getting blasted rather than being concerned about iceberg warnings ... the sense of arrogance of unsinkable belief ... the ignoring of stopping for the night ... perhaps no one told the captain that the lookouts had no binoculars ... otherwise he would have ordered the cabinet lock broken into n given the lookouts their googles funny to compare this to the doria ... that was a collision with another ship ... but of course its how it sank ... I didn't find any blow by blow info of how it sank ... but at least I think it didn't have titanic or concordia human errors

my co-worker from years ago would argue about the eagles ... yeah the world would come to an end if this was the last game next to the last pope

Wow didn't know how the cbt was for u. Amazed on how you n your parents catch the signs of asperger. How was that figured out? Part of an experience to religion when I was job searching over a year ago ... this guy ran his life a certain way ... developed bad habits of drinking and other stuff ... found god and needs him so he can stop all these bad habits .. perhaps his own demons ... and also this is his crutch to keep himself from doing those bad habits ... this seems to be what religion was for him ... maybe a bit of fear of god and the learning to love .., looking at it from another perspective ... its the lack of self-control from doing harmful things ... so perhaps in some ways he's been blind about his bad ways ... now he can see ... and also found an accepting community of human beings Now to the contrary on religion ... its been soiled by the kings ... its not perfect because its delivered by man ... or hey for the mafia ... its a nice scam to trade words of belief for money ... it was a haven for fanatics and extremists ... But, perhaps we should not knock at least the simpler sense of the belief in god .... removing the tainting religion delivered by man ,,, yet inside of that ... there would be accepting of all ... no matter what one did ... even if the person did all levels of crimes and murder .... but yet in religion ... there is orthodox and liberal views ... about being accepted into heaven ... that the souls never leave earth ... and are destined to the last book of revelation ... hence the orthodox binds us to this drama in the story with in the bible ... this controversy within religion ... its really confusing ... yet when we seek it ,,, we seek it from man ... who would tailor it to our liking ... hence giving us this liberal way out for our sins ... but the orthodox extremist would argue hard knocks of religion ... hence delivering the kind of religion for the them that understand it ... but for us who don't understand it ... we get subjugated if we decide to belie in the orthodox way Yaa I met a few Orthodox ... they are really like the ones that rules life in a religious judgmental way ... its either what they learned from the bible or from men who go literally by what the bible says but whats common a lot ... is verse teachings much like quoting that people do on twitter and facebook ... bringing their own flavors of teaching to the world in whatever context of who they are or want people to think they are ... but really its taking things out of context ... its really the clif notes ... lol we fall into the Dan Brown traps of our miss-interpretations of meanings and symbols and idols and stuff ex: When Jesus was on the cross and it was said his man part fell to his frailties "oh god ... forsake ..." .... well this would taught in this manner by many bad teacher of religion ... not sure about theology would be corrective of this ... but then talking to my neighbor ... she says ... Jesus was reciting a prayer ... not falling to his human emotions Now comes the other kind of people ... the alien theorist ... that Jesus and these creatures of hell and the angels that fly ... argue that these are visitation by aliens from space ... etc etc So all in all ... its quiet confusing ... about life ... so perhaps ... the idea behind it ... its not to be alone ... but then not to fall into these trapping areas of religion delivered by man ... since man is imperfect ... where greed and other bad stuff still drives his thinking so does that mean we have to change to buddist monks .... who spent time to be free from man imperfection ... lol ... try reading the kipling story of KIM ... even the perfection by buddist ... in the 1800s ... they learn they are out of touch with the community of man when they go through their walkabouts in man's jungle ... yaa look at the amerish reality show ... when they did walkabouts ... how many of them returned to their community or not ... were they comsumed by our undiciplined ways which are evil I hopes these glimpses shows something to open ones mind of how difficult it is to be sane about life ... it can drive some depression ... but I guess its a matter does our heart and mind hear and experience the power of god ... or is it an invention by man or is it an planed imperfection of our genetics given by aliens lol ... this gives a headache ... to the fallen perhaps one thing is clear between the alien theorist (man lives in a zoo watched by aliens) and god saying we chosen free will and he doesn't interfere with man ... we all have to learn to govern ourselves ... learn to live in harmony and co-existence its obvious man is losing the battle and falling out of harmony ... even in the wild for animals they are like no different than man ... ie: Dolphins ... we developed how perfect they are ... but in a doco ... they shown that dolphins are just like us ... they have a dark side ... but the big difference is they don't have priest, salesman, money ... etc ... they have what they have ... whether its natural or ravaged by man sorry about the rabblings ... i hope it opens the eyes about whatever i said or perhaps ... you can still open my eyes in any form of response

Tyler Clementi’s Suicide and Dharun Ravi’s Trial : The New Yorker
hh5 replied to option's topic in The Lounge
so whens the trial? -
"Seconds from disaster" claims that the binoculars for the crows nest people were lock in the cabinet and the man in charge left the ship. Like wow ... break into the cabinet ... they should have talked to capt smith ... Another one is how the radio operator screamed about an improper formatted message and rather than anyone heading about ice bergs while pissing off the Californian radio operator that goes to bed with the radio off. gosh lots of little things add up ... same goes with the Italian ship ... things add up ... and something sank ... the news will certainly have a field day Its not a question of violations ... its the lack of team work and leadership ... nice way to celebrate the 100th anniv of Titanic .. perhaps it didn't occur by the Italian capt

I found this youtube a long time ago Kate Winslet "What If" Titanic Version

Cool, is Jack in this one? lol Watched a new doco on Titanic ... there was two diff things for the sinking There is an unexplained reason for compartment 4 flooding A) In addition to a latteral cut into titantic ... one belives that there is a cut into its bottom double hull much like running a ground ... but this is ICE cutting into the steel Another theory when titanic broke in two ... that it was from a lower angle than a higher angle This is an interesting theory because it refutes Cameron's story that it was a higher angel that snapped the ship in two. I find it really funny that this theory wasn't shared more. Perhaps it shows more that Cameron didn't investigate the facts more. They say that the lower angle was good enough to rip a crack down from the top to the double hull bottom. This what kept titanic together until the tear into the double hull allowed a flood of water to invade into the ship. The weight of the water broke the camel back. It explains why the top halves of the two parts of the ship is smashed together when the high angle would support that the bottom part of the ship should have this compression of damages. http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/why-a-low-angle-break.html Hey any one notice the news making the italian cruise ship the Titanic of the modern times. It seems that 60 foot tare in it side ... the lack of water tight compartment .... the lack of take charge crew members assisting passengers to safety during the sinking ... makes this the next comparison ... perhaps later there will be stricter international maritime laws. Would any one hate to be aboard a ship that violates safety protocols ... its the same as the financial crises of the USA ... financial professionals violated rules, regulations, and ethics and common sense ... just for making money.

Happy Birthday Joey!!

Its good that you help out some one who helps back. Here in america one can't be so lucky. My aunt gave some jobs to this 19yo who eventually rob her several times. He got caught. Also turned out he did drugs as well as he rob his own friends. He betrayed trust. Here in my town making friends is hard.

Anyone familiar to http://shortyawards.com ? How short is the person? Conan won many times and he not that short lol
-
Its Harold, at least you have a BF with you and that's better than being alone. Perhaps to add friends is to go out like taking up an activity. But then perhaps that is hard because of how hard u work and perhaps the nature of the town isn't too gay friendly??
