Why would they have done this? Some sort of dream sequence about explosive decompression or something?

Underwater tunnels dont need a complex solution sitting behind them to maintain that pressure.
Underwater tunnels arent open to the air, where retards can shoot at them.
Water doesnt act like air in a decompression event like what thunderf00t is talking about....it doesnt travel at the speed of sound to fill the void..

From perusing pilot's forums, it was probably a slow decompression. There is an article on the award given to the controllers which says:

Neither NTSB nor FAA databases contain the incident.

Do you honestly have no clue as to what you do ?

The only thing I personaly respect about what you do with the ban thing is that you adhere the Terms of service ( which everyone reads of course right ??? ).

The rest of the time you deny possible gems in the rough without any warning.

I mean I do not want to be so in your face, but to see you write that made me mad. You have denied so many possible peole here without any incling of the genuine purpose of the site, you just outright ban people and we are not stupid, it is so you can garner some form of level up, you got called on a lot of things in the past in that regard. SERIOUSLY ? ? you ask her why she explained that ??

TELL YOU WHAT , I honestly told people exactly what she did in a pm, while you asked your silly little funnel of a question. What makes people pissed is that you give no quarter, you give no choice ( to most - obviously some are blatent www. whores ) but you have a black and white for the most part.

So do not be impressed or decompressed when someone actually explains something to someone, I have been doing it for years on the opposite behalf of you. Lately I just got tired of it for the past year and couldn't give a shit.

But I am in a talking mood, I love ya enough to write this because it astounded me as to your obliviousness to actually giving someone a chance, not just this video in general, this video was the scratch test and the lattice grew.


WHEWWWWW free therapy !

Some very old (and stripped down) notes I have, from a beginners course I used to teach on web graphics and image formats. (it does loose a little something in translation with the limited formatting we can use here).

GIF: (Graphics Interchange Format)
Limited to 256 colors and less.
Recommended - 72 dpi.
8-bit color planes


Originally designed by Compuserve. June 1987

It used a compression scheme called LZW.
Gif utilizes a compression method which uses a particular algorithm. This algorithm is copyrighted by Unisys. Any software which supports the format must obtain the rights to use the format but all users are free to use it.
Because of this issue..., a new format called PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is slowly infiltrating, and is expected to eventually replace the GIF.


How it compresses...

1. It compresses repeated patterns of pixels in an image.
   
2. The more repeated patterns there are in an image, the more it can be compressed. When the image is decompressed it is
   exactly the same as the original image.
   
3. Example:
   
   If the code looks like this - (@ 42-bytes)
   1 5 6 4 6 7 9 1 2 5 6 9 8 4 5 8 9 2 5 6 9 8 5 6 7 2 5 6 9 6 1 5 6 4 6 7 9 7 8 2 5 6
   
   The conversion looks for repeating strings of more than 3 numbers -
   1 5 6 4 6 7 9 1 2 5 6 9 8 4 5 8 9 2 5 6 9 8 5 6 7 2 5 6 9 6 1 5 6 4 6 7 9 7 8 2 5 6
   
   It then replaces the strings with a "token". It refers to which number it repeats and for how many characters -
   1 5 6 4 6 7 9 1 2 5 6 9 8 4 5 8 9 [9,5] 5 6 7 [9,4] 6 [1,7] 7 8 [9,3]
   
   
4. Each "token" takes 2 bytes. having eliminated several repeating characters, our code is now only 31-bytes
   

• GIF uses Lossless, Pattern Matching Compression
  
• It compresses repeated patterns of pixels in an image.
  
• The more repeated patterns there are in an image, the more it can be compressed.
  
• When the image is decompressed it is exactly the same as the original image

Put it in a tortilla, thats right ! decompress the fists of calloused rage and plunk them into the salad bowl after you have your Salad tossed by Rottenseed utensils.

Wrap that massive mound of vegetation up.

indeed.

Much of my work is on somatic theory.
Chiropractic, as an osteopathy derivative, has some solid basis in that they look at nerve compression at the spine, and while it is certainly true that decompressing innervation at the spine can help with other problems, such as GI issues and asthma, in a technique sense they are only focusing on one aspect of distortion - that of restriction at the spine. However, once there is a distortion at the spine (the bottom of the brain) it becomes a whole body pattern and issue...which requires far more time, patience, and attention to detail than merely popping a facet joint. It requires the type of time and patience that is non-existent in most of western medicine, or chiropractic. The body is a seamless whole.

It's very hard to make a lot of money doing this work.
But a chiro can pop 10 people an hour. A western doc can write 40 scrips an hour.

Massage is typically working by accident. It helps, but it is premised on a muscular approach, which is incredibly misleading. Muscles may dominate the body in terms of size, but they are a reactive system, not a controlling system, and the lowest man on the totem pole in terms of the hierarchy of survival mechanisms. Physical therapy is also stuck on the muscular approach to the body. In fact, this approach typically dominates western thought when it comes to somatic/structural distortion/pain. And most people go to hospitals with essentially somatic complaints. See where i'm going with this?

Harrington rods for scoliosis should one day be properly viewed as barbaric.


In reply to this comment by gwiz665:
A friend of mine had scoliosis, at least I think that what she had, I never heard the proper medical term for it. She had it corrected by doctors inserting some metal rods by her spine, so now her back is all stiff - I'm a little vague on the details since it's a while since I heard the story.

In any case, I agree that we must also heavily scrutinize the medical system, since companies go where the profits are, and if there are no profits to be had, then that kind of medicine is discarded and abandoned. This is what has happened with many potential cancer treatments, since there is less profit in un-patentable formulas than those that can be patented.

If your methods actually do work consistently then it would certainly stand up to scientific standards, it must be replicable and verifiable and that's basically it. The problem is that often it works like "magic" and heals some, but not all with what appears to be the same illness. This is due to a lack of understanding of what is actually wrong with a patient.

The back and nervous system is notoriously hard to "fix" since few people understand it very well and each person is unique (to some extent).

Some "alternative" medicines are perinormal - they work, but we don't know it yet. They are essentially medicines, but we have not determined precisely how and why they help. "Home remedies" are really a proto-version of alternative medicines in this way, in that someone once used it and it worked. Others, like homeopathy, are demonstrably false and are indeed scams. The make wild claims based on nothing but superstition and humbug.

Prayer is also not medicine. If you get bitten by a snake and pray for the venom to leave your body, you die.

The court of public opinion is highly subjective and cannot be trusted to make reliable judgments. This is why the scientific method exists - to eliminate the need for "he said, she said".

It is smart to be weary of the medicinal industry, I'll grant you that, but your doctor is not an arm of that - he (or she) is a healer, that is their goal. I am deeply troubled when certain doctors are influenced by incentives that go against the patient's best interest - it does happen, medicinal firms offering bonuses if you use their products even though they're inferior and so on. But the fact remains that this inferior product has still gone through channels which ensure that it does work, alternative medicine does not.

It is absolutely imperative that people are not deceived to believe that some treatments do more than they think, like when chiropractic offers treatments to non-musceloskeletal problems like ADHD or asthma. It may help your back, fair enough, I've cracked my own back and I think it helps, because it feels good - chocolate feels good too, but it doesn't help my health.

The second such a snake oil salesman does not want to stand up to proper scrutiny is when he has revealed himself to be a fraud. Because if his method is disproved, then he cannot fake it anymore.

I do not doubt that massage therapy does offer relief and helps with muscle problems, I could also believe that chiropractic helps with joint pain, muscle pain or some skeletal problems - but they must be studied and analysed properly and not just pretend like it works, we must know WHY it works.

Some great insights.
My difficulty is in the gross generalizations that are taking place.
I do what some people call "alternative" medicine. I don't necessarily take exception to that title given the state of western medicine.
Growing up with a scoliosis I searched for different approaches to fix the problem, and eventually ended up practicing and teaching manual therapy from a neurological model of the body, focusing on rotational distortion. It is essentially cutting edge, and i can do things with a spine that would make a western neurosurgeon question his approach.

However I may not stand up to scrutiny by western standards, since I essentially view the body in a much different manner, and certainly work with it in a much different manner.
Tomorrow however, may be a different story, as it has been with acupuncture, massage, osteopathy, non-freudian psychology, or any number of treatments that have made their way into the mainstream. Scrutiny is often the court of public opinion, although this court of opinion is greatly effected by what we have been brought up to believe and who we automatically give status and credibility to.

I think it is essential that all practitioners of the healing arts, including western medicine, realize that our actual knowledge of the human body, it's functions, and it's abilities, is very small. And it is exceedingly important to keep those doors to possibilities open.

At the same time, it is incumbent upon us to heavily scrutinize the current accepted treatments which are more often than not inadequate, reliant upon drugs, or are barbaric in nature. At the same time we must heavily scrutinize an overall system which is premised on the industry making a profit, which lends itself to indefinitely treating symptoms rather than preventative medicine.

Scientific method.

"Alternative" medicine wants to do the same thing as Intelligent Design, it wants to take the easy road. ID wants to be in the class room without having sufficient evidence to support its claim. Alternative medicine wants to be sold and used to heal sick people. The latter is fine and even admirable, if it works, but there is insufficient evidence to support the claims that alternative medicine makes.

If you buy a service from me that I cannot provide, then you have been scammed and my claim was bunk. This is what alternative medicine does.

Defining alternative, it's medicine that hasn't gone through thorough scrutiny and does not stand up to it. It is medicine that doesn't work.

Pick your poison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_medicine Homeopathy, Chiropractic, energy therapy, crystals all that stuff.

Regarding massage and acupuncture, I'm in a more relaxed approach, because they don't promise magical solutions. Massage works at healing muscle pain, certainly, and it certainly relaxing. Acupuncture, I don't have sufficient knowledge about to make a definitive judgment about. Naturally, I'm skeptical, because as far as I know, it has not been tested to the proper extent that it should to be called medicine. When I read about more details of it "Qi" and whatnot - I get more skeptical.

It may work, but it should be tested experimentally, before making claims of healing.

People are allowed to use their money as they want, but these things should damn well not be able to call themselves medicine. Relaxation, sure, therapy, perhaps, healing - no.

In reply to this comment by criticalthud:
would you care to define alternative? do you mean non-american, non-western?
does acupuncture stand up to western scrutiny? how about manual therapy? who's scrutiny are you talking about? Tell me how you measure what people FEEL with a machine, or a bloodtest.
how well does typical western medicine deal with back pain? - drugs, drugs, more drugs?
how about a scoliosis? neurological strain patterns? any chronic pain issue?
western medicine, relies on over-drugging it's patients, treating each as a number. What and how they practice is often completely controlled by insurance companies.
perhaps your statement doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
sure there is crap out there, but lets not pretend that western medicine is immune. far from it, it's peddling a good portion of the stinkiest garbage.

Alternative medicine is bunk. Like alternative math or alternative reason.

If there was any truth to it, it would stand up to scrutiny and it would be used as proper treatment. Homeopathy especially is downright fraud.

2 highlights:

Mrs. Claus: How did it go...did you deliver all the presents--
Santa: How about 2 seconds to decompress before you voice fuck my ear hole

=====

Mary: Joseph, remember when I said that even though we're married, I never want to have sex with you?
Joseph: Yea, black Tuesday

My first thought after seeing the "smoke" or whatnot was that it was the effect you get when there is a pressure change, such as decompressing a pop bottle.

"In the unlikely event of terrorists taking over your flight, you will find a Walther PPK strapped under your seat. Point the pistol at the terrorists and pull the trigger, keeping in mind that an airplane is a large pressure vessel moving at near supersonic speeds and the slightest puncture will cause the entire plane to explosively decompress, raining down debris down upon innocent men, women, children -- and potentially kittens -- on the ground."

I workout quite a bit and I see some older dudes at my gym that put all of us young pups to shame. Epic beard man falls into this category. He's probably been lifting weights for a solid 40 years, and that means he's got good, mature, dense muscles. I would not want to be on the other side of his fists, dudes like him are incredibly strong. I can also notice the signs of roid rage when I see them. He is clearly raging in the second video. I've been there. It takes a lot longer to decompress after an altercation when you have testosterone pumping through your system in doses more akin to a great ape's. I think that cop knows it as well. How often do you see an cop let someone destroy newspaper boxes and swear in public? He knows he can't take him down on his own, nor could he with 3 other officers. You just don't confront an angry gorilla sized man that has been exercised for decades, that is on steroids, and that now has adrenaline raging through his veins. You just don't do it.

This is from my work computer. I should do this again at home.

1. Johnny Moore - Sold To The Highest Bidder
Great country track with a auctioneer vocalization speaking at 400 words per minute.

2. Easy Star All-Stars - Airbag
Dub stars made an album full of Radiohead covers called Radiodread. It works.

3. Bruno Nicolai - Indio Black
Funky 60s/70s theme for a TV show I believe. Think OST for The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.

4. Mathew Jonson - Decompression
Minimal techno from M_nus

5. Mad Doctor X - Deejays and Emcees
Remember puffin the herb from human traffic? This guy made it. UK hip hop.

6. Unknown Artist - Track 1
I believe this is from the OST for Chronos by Ron Fricke. But I found it in a compilation by Stay in Bed called Telepathic Fish.

7. The Field - Mobilia.
From the aptly titled From here we go sublime. I was pleasantly surprised by this album. Great trippy dance tracks.

8. Niyaz - Allah Mazare
Ethnic Farsi modernized music along the lines of Dead Can Dance. Haunting vocals.

9. Track 13 - Pirates of the 21st Century
OST from a classic Russian action film. Instrumental.

10. Nelly Furtado - Maneater.
Am a sucker for Timbaland beats. This one is particularly good.

I survived the sudden decompression, lethal helmet and seatbelt trauma, extreme re-entry heat and earth impact only to be kidnapped by a freak in astronaut diapers in the NASA parking lot.

The combination of these two comedy titans will generate a core implosion of the Sift and the Earth and the universe. Stand-by for explosive decompression of awesomeness.

For those that may not know, the subatomic particles being emitted by the radioactive sample (most likely alpha particles) streak through the air at a high enough speed to quickly compress the air in front of it. After it passes, the air decompresses rapidly and water vapor is formed. This leaves a visible trail of water vapor, much like the trail left behind a jet as it flies at high speeds.
