Volcanic Eruption of Mount Tavurvur (shock wave included)

oritteropo says...

The volcano is here - https://goo.gl/maps/LbKHf

They appear to be somewhere in the middle of the bay, which makes it about 4km (?) away. If you assume (like the yt commenters did) that the shockwave slowed to the speed of sound almost instantly you would calculate a distance of approx 4-4.5kms which would have them almost on the opposite shoreline (or even on land) which they clearly are not...

p.s. Yes I realise that a supersonic shockwave should cause you to underestimate rather than overestimate distances, perhaps they're really a bit further from Rabul than I assumed?

p.p.s They were staying at Kokopo Beach Bungalows, and went out on the boat for a better look.

I went with speed of sound. Any idea how to figure it?

-edit-
Removed my attempt at figuring the distance for a more interesting video of the volcano erupting

How to Identify and Handle a Brown Recluse

chingalera says...

howtofearfirebugsdeath...what a concept

Brown recluse tips:
Don't live where she wants to be or in doing so provide the conditions for her to flourish
or/and
Don't crawl around where they live in Speedo

Your chance of being stricken is less than losing chin-blood in a fender-bender.
The least-scary spiders are the ones there are so very few of.

What you don't want is to wake up to a tarantula infestation in the bungalow you just rented on your honeymoon in Guatemala....That shit can ruin a marriage!

Evaporating Water Experiment at -41°C/F

Plonq says...

We've done this trick in our back yard in Winnipeg when it gets cold enough to try it.

Since we live in a bungalow, we have to toss the water up into the air rather than pouring it off a balcony, but it makes the same curious hissing sound as you can hear in this video starting at about the 29 second mark.

Is that just the sound that water makes when it crystallises very quickly, or is there some other physics at play?

A Teacher's Strike in Paradise

Former Interrogator Rebukes Cheney for Torture Speech

Winstonfield_Pennypacker says...

What I do find hard to believe is the claim that mistreatment of prisoners played little or no role at all in enemy recruitment (and I note that you are not making that claim) and was this godsend providing the military and defense dept windfalls of life-saving information (none of which has ever been substantiated, nor will it ever in my opinion) as people like Cheney would have the American public believe.

Thank you for acknowledging that I never said, "little or no role". I deplore the environment of extremist, loaded, biased language in today's political debates. This exists on all sides, but is most particularly eggregious on the political left. In this specific debate, guys like the video doofus paint a totally black and white picture where torture is the ONLY reason there are terrorists. Bull. Cheney responds with language that implies torture images don't motivate terrorists at all. Also bull.

Do the torture allegations motivate terrorists? I'm sure it does for some of them. To claim it is the 'only' reason is a politically motivated exaggeration which simple common sense and logic proves false. As I said before, if America had done no more than put all the prisoners in jungle bungalows I still VERY much doubt that terrorists would be having a hard time finding their recruits. They certainly didn't have a problem finding them before the allegations were made...

The discussion has floundered in the world of political extremism. Extremist neo-libs want to prosecute Bush, so they frame the discussion is such a way as to make it sound as if Bush-era 'torture' was the worst thing in the history man's inhumanity to man. Extremist neo-cons respond with the position that Bush-era torture was like a gentle tickling.

Former Interrogator Rebukes Cheney for Torture Speech

Winstonfield_Pennypacker says...

I think this guy has a bit more credibility and first-hand knowlege of the topic. Even more-so that Cheney

Proves my point exactly. You've 'chosen' to accept him as a credible source because he's saying things you like. There are senior interrogators who disagree with this guy's opinion, but you give them no credibility because you don't want to.

I'm more interested in the semantics of this debate, personally. I find them to be highly misleading. This doofus is deliberately attempting to make it sound like 'torture' is the ONLY reason that terrorists go to Iraq. So we're supposed to believe somehow that every insurgent in Iraq is there ONLY because of US torture pics and junk.

But news stories of prisoner treatment did not become widespread until late in 2004 when internal documents and photos were leaked. At that point the Iraq insurgency was already stuff, and foreign fighters were flocking into the country. "Torture" could not possibly have motivated this, because it wasn't publicized. The real motivations are myriad and include Isreal, money, and many other things. Be realistic. If all the US had done was put terrorists in a comfy bungalow, then there would still be terrorists in Iraq by the thousands.

Therefore the joker in this vid is totally up in the night. Terrorist activity was stiff and rampant far earlier than 'torture' became an issue. Now, that is irrefutable fact. But you people here will have none of it, because it contradicts an argument that you desperately want to be correct. Pathetic.

Road to Zion - Damian Marley ft. Nas

[Intro: Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley]
Yeah man, Jah will be waitin there we a shout, Jah will be waitin there!!!!
In this world of calamity, dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority, media crush we nuh know bout variety, boom

[Verse 1: Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley]
Di youngest veteran a come murder dem slow
Ragamuffin sent to God before di bush bungalow
Mi nuh watch it mek I carry out my voice now figarow
Di hammer dem a slam and spend day a dead now
Some bwoy could a big like Bam Bam Bigelow
Buss off trigger finger trigger hand and trigger toe
A two gun mi have mi buss dem inna stereo

[Chorus: Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley]
Cause, I got to keep on walkin, on the road to Zion land
Hey, we got to keep it burnin, on the road to Zion land

[Verse 2: Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley]
Clean and pure meditation without a doubt
Don't mek dem tek yuh like food dem to goat
Jah will be waitin there we a shout, Jah will be waitin there!!!!
In this world of calamity, dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority, media crush we nuh know bout variety
Single parents weh need some charity
Yutes weh need some love and prosperity
Inside a broken dreams and tragedy
By any plan with any means and strategy

[Chorus: Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley] (Nas)
Say, we got to keep on walkin (Yeah) on the road to Zion land

You know (They know) you got to keep on walkin (Yeah) on the road to Zion land
(You gotta keep walkin y'all, yeah, yeah, you gotta keep...)

[Verse 3: Nas]
Sometimes I can't help but feel helpless
I'm havin daymares in daytime wide awake try to relate
This can't be happenin like I'm in a dream while I'm walkin
Cause what I'm seein is hauntin, human beings like ghost and zombies
President Mugabi holdin guns to innocent bodies
In Zimbabwe, they make John Pope seem Godly, sacrilegious and blasphemous
In my lifetime I look back in paths I walked, where savages fought and passengers taught
Prostitutes stomp in high heel boots
And badges screamin at young black children stop or I will shoot
I look back at cooked crack plus cars that pass by
Jaguars mad fly, and I'm guilty for materialism
Blacks is still up in the prison trust that
So save me your sorry I'm raisin a Army
Revolutionary warfare with Damian Marley
We sparkin a iron marchin to Zion
You know how Nas be NYC state of mind I'm in

Pastors Want to Mix Religion and Politics

xxovercastxx says...

spelling: separation

I'm not sure I care if pastors take a political position "from the pulpit" but I also think the tax exempt status of churches, synagogues, temples, etc is bullshit.

Where I live we have an ever-increasing amount of land being turned into bungalow colonies which are tax exempt as "Religious Retreats". In my county (Sullivan of NY) I'd guess somewhere in the vicinity of a 3rd of our otherwise taxable land has been taken off the tax roll in such a manner. The result is the tax increases for the rest of us and we're not a wealthy area to begin with.

My first reaction is -> . But after reading it a few times -> I find this comment very funny

In reply to this comment by choggie:
Create your-own paradigm, live life to the utmost-the change comes when the empire finally passes into oblivion.....o r, go out and systematically kill the motherfuckers who control everything, and teach you what to feel and believe, to buy and to sell, and how-Fuck em. Kill them all and their entire bloodlines-abscond with their assets, build a new paradigm.These motherfuckers have names and families-none of them are without fault, all must be destroyed-they are living in the past anyhow......Start with the biggest and work your way down-
"This week on delivering Queen Bea's head"-Next week, we travel to Belgium, to a quaint country bungalow, where "XXX" and his immediate family are, etc etc"......Make coliseum games for the elite, now that'd be special.

I don't support the troops.

The McCains Take Sleaze to a Whole New Level.

Krupo says...

The only thing he skipped on in this *dark *femme video is that she ruptured her spinal chord, leading to the drugs. Well the current president is a drug user from the 70s according to records, and now we know the Republican candidate also is. I find it interesting that, "in her defense", the balanced Wikipedia entry points out that McCain was guilty of infidelity in the past with others well. Not exactly heartening.

Definitely an *election08 and *politics and a blowing the whistles *lies vid, but this is misuse of the terrible channel, hence I invoke *nochannel for that.

Wiki links:
Subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy_Hensley_McCain
Husband: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain
Cheated crippled first wife: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_McCain

And incredibly forgiving too:

The McCains separated in late 1979;[13] Carol McCain accepted a divorce in February of 1980,[13] and John McCain filed for and obtained the uncontested divorce in Florida on April 2, 1980.[21] John McCain would later say, "My marriage's collapse was attributable to my own selfishness and immaturity more than it was to Vietnam, and I cannot escape blame by pointing a finger at the war. The blame was entirely mine."[18] Carol McCain would later echo those sentiments, saying the failure was not due to her accident[1] and that "I attribute [the breakup of our marriage] more to John turning 40 and wanting to be 25 again than I do to anything else."[18] He gave her a settlement that included alimony, child support, houses in Virginia and Florida, and lifelong financial support for her ongoing medical treatments resulting from the 1969 automobile accident.[1] John McCain and Hensley were married the month following the divorce.[18]

Carol McCain became a personal assistant to Nancy Reagan in fall 1979,[2] working with her on Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign, and then worked on the 1980 Republican National Convention and the 1981 Reagan inaugural.[2] In 1981, she became head of the White House Visitors Center, where she planned tours and dealt with special pleas of Washington officials.[2]

Despite the divorce, Carol McCain remained on good terms with John McCain,[18] and supported him in all his subsequent political campaigns.[1] She refused to discuss her marriage with an opponent of McCain's in 1982 who was seeking negative information about him.[22]

In 2003, Carol McCain moved to a bungalow in Virginia Beach, Virginia.[1] She continues to have difficulty walking, as a result of her accident.[1] She supports her ex-husband's 2008 presidential campaign, and told The Mail on Sunday in June 2008 that she was not bitter and that, "He’s a good guy. We are still good friends. He is the best man for president."[1]


(If you're going to be harsh, you'll point out that she too got divorced before marrying McCain, albeit under very different circumstances.)

Worst Rap Battle Ever

Pray For the Wildcats (Andy Griffith Unhinged! and Bill Shatner! and much more)

sfjocko says...

1974 U.S. television movie originally aired on ABC. It starred William Shatner and Andy Griffith. Also includes Robert Reed, Marjoe Gortner, Angie Dickinson.

The story centers on Sam Farragut (Andy Griffith), a sociopathic business executive in Southern California who forces a team of advertising agency employees (Shatner, Reed, Gortner) to embark on a dangerous motorcycle trip to Baja California in order to compete for his business. Shatner stars as Warren Summerfield, a suicidal middle-aged ad executive who has been fired from the agency. Reed co-stars as the strait-laced Paul McIlvian who is disattentive to his wife (Dickinson). Gortner is the young brash art designer feels suddenly trapped after his girlfriend (Janet Margolin) announces she is pregnant. More at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pray_for_the_Wildcats

what's with those Star Trek shirts?

Those ABC movies-of-the-week produced many such time capsules of the '70's, which were strange at the time, and have become more bizarre as time passes. Anyone remember "Duel"? - Spielberg's first movie.

**UPDATE**
Bill Shatner has written a retrospective on this movie, at http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Bungalow/4383/shatner.html (credible origin?)
