Re: Flamin_axe

Re: Steven Wilde

that dolphin thing is far out eh :) i'm gonna see if i can find the story on the net ;)

here it is Dolphin story

Nov 23, 8:23 AM (ET)

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Reuters) - A pod of dolphins circled protectively round a group of New Zealand swimmers to fend off an attack by a great white shark, media reported on Tuesday.

Lifesavers Rob Howes, his 15-year-old daughter Niccy, Karina Cooper and Helen Slade were swimming 300 feet off Ocean Beach near Whangarei on New Zealand's North Island when the dolphins herded them -- apparently to protect them from a shark.

"They started to herd us up, they pushed all four of us together by doing tight circles around us," Howes told the New Zealand Press Association (NZPA).

Howes tried to drift away from the group, but two of the bigger dolphins herded him back just as he spotted a nine-foot great white shark swimming toward the group.

"I just recoiled. It was only about 2 meters away from me, the water was crystal clear and it was as clear as the nose on my face," Howes said, referring to a distance of six feet.

"They had corralled us up to protect us," he said.

The lifesavers spent the next 40 minutes surrounded by the dolphins before they could safely swim back to shore. The incident happened on October 30, but the lifesavers kept the story to themselves until now.

Environment group Orca Research said dolphins attacked sharks to protect themselves and their young, so their actions in protecting the lifesavers was understandable.

tracie----thanks for the mail...yu have one too....peace.

ibanezmike and pp0, the first thing to do with a JS1000 is give the trem loads of sh*t, then unlock the nut, give it a bit more sh*t and tune it. Give it yet more abuse, tune it again then lock the nut. Check it's tuning with the nut locked....it should be ok. If there's any fine adjustment needed, use the fine tuners....if there's any major adjustment needed, unlock the nut again.

It takes a good couple of months (or 3-4 weeks if you play a few hours a day) for the bridge to settle, and when it does, it'll stay that way. That said, the Edge Pro bridge isn't as stable as the Lo-Pro Edge, but I'd imagine the Edge Pro II (this year's incarnation of the Edge Pro) is slightly better than the 03/04 build.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Joe....I know you said you know it's not his fault, but unfortunately he has no say in what happens on the Ibanez drawing board. it's all about cost, and committees and board meetings. The Edge Pro design is being introduced across most of the higher-end Ibanez range. The RG's, jem's and JS's are all getting the same bridge, while the S's get the ZR trem, which cuts down on cost and production times immensely. It's much easier than running 4 or 5 different permutations on a Floyd Rose design, like they used to.

Regards passing up dates with 2 hot ladies....that's hilarious! haha, what a fine example of self restraint. I totally get what you're saying though, me and my girlfriend split up last summer (which was a GOOD thing) and I've been achieving more of what I want to do ever since....no distraction! take care bro!

"Namm, a few days ago you mentioned you had the chance to see The Surreal Life. Funny as hell, wasn't it. LOL! Verne is a freaky dude"

I was visiting my brother last weekend and he had it on at his house. I had never seen it before, but I LMAO. The return of Peter Brady, living with Minnie Me! Funny stuff.

Sorry to see your steelers go down in flames, but last year I bet before the season that the Patriots would repeat. The deal was that people had to give me two to one odds and place a minimum bet of $100. I had three takers. So if the Pats loose in the superbowl I am out $300. If they win I am going to take my $600 and my wife to Miami. Any word on TO. being healthy for the Super Bowl?

mikesb - actually... I think the pick one is about as good as it gets for me... lol...

that's the spirit.... lmao...

can you play mp3?.. if so I'll send you the DC set in mp3...
if not, I'll send it like a regular audio CD... it'll just take a bit longer to sort out..

Clarky - Yeah, I can play mp3 files. I'm just not sure how big I'm allowed for file attachments with hotmail... By the way, another album recommendation: The End Of Heartache by Killswitch Engage.

Steven Wilde,

Big Bunny - Don't take offense at this it is just a question. Why do you seem OK with livestock being used for food but get weird about dogs being used. I'm not a vegatarian by any strech of the imagination and honestly have issues with most vegatarians. I was just curious. Nice factiod about the Capybara. I used to watch a lot of nature shows and I remember these giant S. American guigea pigs. The Anacondas like them too. The big rodent we have up here is the Nutria. It looks like a beaver w/ a rat type tail. UGLY.

bigbunny: thats one thing i've always wanted to do, is swim with dolphins....they seem so sweet and friendly.....some day.....great story...

Clarky, did you say the Reading Royals is a soccer team over there? lol! That's pretty cool. We don't go to many hockey games, but we always have fun when we do. http://www.royalshockey.com/

Simon, I'd send you a truckload of snow if I could! I thought we were getting hammered until I saw pictures of New England. Holy crap man, they really got hit hard! It's all fun and games till it starts to melt. Then the trouble starts. lol! It's very pretty right now though. We'll be getting more snow in a few days.

Suzie, our kids had a 2 hour delay yesterday and today. My daughter told me this morning that some idiot almost hit her when she was crossing the street yesterday morning. Since there was a delay, the school traffic signs werent flashing the 15 mph speed limit. I guess this idiot figured he didn't have to go slow because the lights weren't flashing (nevermind the kids crossing the street). My son had already gotten over the big pile of snow and onto the sidewalk, and my daughter was trying to get over the snowpile when the car came buzzing by beeping at her. Friggin' a-hole! The plows come by and close off any walkways the school personel have cleared on that block, so the kids that cross at that corner have to jump over the snowpile. I told my kids to go a different way today. Some drivers are just so ignorant. It would have taken 30 seconds off the guys time to slow down. Needless to say, I also gave my kids a lecture about crossing the streets in this weather.

2 pages to go, Be back later ~

Anyone want to go to work for me today?

civgeek, precisely, once the strings are properly stretched it should be fine unless the knife edge and the posts are buggered.

oh, no offense taken :)

actually i'm one of those pathetic people who wishes they could be a vegetarian but keeps getting sucked in by Mcdonalds Cheeeeese burgers *Homer Simpson Drool ;P______*

i'm actually not really worried about people eating cats & dogs - it's more the fact that they don't kill them before they cook them!! i know livestock don't have it easy & they must know something is going on being herded into trucks etc......but at least for them they get killed straight out (at least they are suppose to anyway)

it's more animal suffering that shits me.

also about the Capybara's - arn't they Great! i love the way the babies take a ride on their parents backs over the water. and those anacondas they give me the willies eeekk! they swallow the whole Capybara. i hate the way they film those documentries they make it look like the camera is the anaconda & that he's going to get the furry rodent! ahhhh
