PSA: If this turns out to be a nuclear weapons test, “stay indoors” works only if you live in a nuclear bunker. People living in normal houses: find a fallout shelter, otherwise … you’re fucked.

End Of An Era of the Day: Just over half a century since she was christened the eighth US naval vessel to bear the name “Enterprise,” the world’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is setting sail for the last time.

In addition to being the only one in her class, the so-called “Big E” is also the longest and oldest aircraft carrier currently in operation. That has presented many a problem for the warship’s 4,000-strong crew, who are often forced to resort to makeshift solutions in order to keep the old girl going.

“It’s kind of like when you get older and you know it’s harder to get out of the bed in the morning,” explains commanding officer Capt. William Hamilton. “It takes you a couple hours to kind of really get up and then you’re fine. Well, it’s the same sort of thing here with Enterprise.”

The USS Enterprise was originally slated to be decommissioned 25 years ago, but a ship-wide overhaul in 1979 gave the warship a second wind that lasted another 25 years.

She will eventually be put out to pasture in December, but before then, she’s headed to the Middle East for a seven-month stint during which she’ll be charged with providing support should tensions with Iran boil over.

When she returns home later this year, the Enterprise will receive a proper sendoff from the President, and then shipped to Newport News, where her nuclear fuel will be removed. Afterwards, it’ll be on to Washington state, where the rest of the ship will be scrapped.

There will be no floating museum: The process of removing the nuclear fuel would require repairs too costly to make.

Past and present crew members, however, don’t need a storage space for their memories. “Life is hard on Enterprise,” said Capt. Hamilton. “But when they leave here, they leave knowing if they can do this, they can do anything.”

BARCELONA REMEMBERS CENTENNIAL OF PAULINO ALCANTARA

Barcelona FC, the most exciting football team in the world which boasts of the best player in the game today in Lionel Messi, has remembered the 100th anniversary of the Filipino striker that FIFA named “The Best Asian Player of All-Time” - Paulino Alcantara.

Many Filipinos, clearly fascinated by the popular Azkals who together with the United Football League have helped in the resurgence of interest in football, perhaps don’t even know that a Filipino-Spanish player was the star striker of Barcelona whose record number of goals scored stands to this day.

The Barcelona FC website recalled that on February 25, 1912 the 15 year old Alcantara first wore the coveted jersey in the Catalonian Championship against Català Sporting Club. Barça won 9-0 and Alcántara scored the first three goals to set a record that has never been broken for being the youngest player to ever score for FC Barcelona in an official match.

Born in Iloilo to an Ilongga mother and a father who was a Spanish military officer, Paulino moved to Spain where the legendary striker was discovered by Joan Gamper and was signed up by Barcelona, Gamper was responsible for forming the Barcelona club and became its president in 1918.

Alcantara ripped the net in a match against France and from then on was nicknamed “El Rompe Redes” or The Net Breaker.”

The first Filipino and Asian player to play top class football in Europe Alcantara scored 357 goals in a total of 357 matches to earn the distinction of being the club’s highest goalscorer. He went on to help the club win several championships including…READ MORE

Here’s a tip for the do-it-yourself crowd: 
Go to your computer’s Start menu, and either go to
 “run” or just search for “cmd.” 
Open it up, and type in “ping [website address],” 


Once you have the IP for a website, all you really 
need to do is enter it like you would 
a normal URL nd hit enter/press go. Typing in
 “208.85.240.231” 
should bring you to the front page of AO3,
 for example, just as typing “174.121.194.34/dashboard” 
should bring you straight to your Tumblr dashboard. 
Since we’re obviously bracing for the worst case scenario 
which would involve you not being 
able to access the internet regularly, you should,
 save this list.

Dear Tumblr-ers, -ites, ettes, and whatever other things you may prefer,

Please reblog the crap out of this. Add to it if you feel there is stuff necessary but missing.

P.S. Thank you to the lovely who wrote this up.

They’d probably block the IP addresses themselves, you guys. They’re stupid, but I think not that stupid. I think it’s better to create an off-shore tunnel/proxy and use that instead.

Also, Google Public DNS servers: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, and OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220.

Introducing our new game called:

“Don’t Be A Di*k During Meals With Friends.”

The first person to crack and look at their phone picks up the check.

Our (initial) purpose of the game was to get everyone off the phones free from twitter/fb/texting and to encourage conversations.

Rules:

1) The game starts after everyone has ordered.

2) Everybody places their phone on the table face down.

3) The first person to flip over their phone loses the game.

4) Loser of the game pays for the bill.

5) If the bill comes before anyone has flipped over their phone everybody is declared a winner and pays for their own meal.

Variations/house rules:

-Starting the game after everyone is seated.

-In the rare event that multiple people flip their phones simultaneously, the bill is split between said players.

- Feel free to invoke penalties/strikes systems.

Notes:

- No touching or messing with anybody else’s phones.

- You don’t have to stack the phones. This was done for picture taking purposes.

- I realize I should perhaps think of a different name for this awesome game. Because I don’t mean to imply that everyone who checks their phone during meals is a di*k.

- I recommend not being such a stickler or hardass on people about the rules and even initiation of the game. Basic premise is to just get people open to the idea of staying active and attentive to one another. But if someone has to take a call; they have to take a call =).

- Have fun! It’s really more of a fun concept in this new age high tech life of ours. Conversation is the spice of life.

Scientists discover most relaxing tune ever

Sound therapists and Manchester band Marconi Union compiled the song. Scientists played it to 40 women and found it to be more effective at helping them relax than songs by Enya, Mozart and Coldplay.

Weightless works by using specific rhythms, tones, frequencies and intervals to relax the listener. A continuous rhythm of 60 BPM causes the brainwaves and heart rate to synchronise with the rhythm: a process known as ‘entrainment’. Low underlying bass tones relax the listener and a low whooshing sound with a trance-like quality takes the listener into an even deeper state of calm.

Dr David Lewis, one of the UK’s leading stress specialists said: “‘Weightless’ induced the greatest relaxation – higher than any of the other music tested. Brain imaging studies have shown that music works at a very deep level within the brain, stimulating not only those regions responsible for processing sound but also ones associated with emotions.”

The study - commissioned by bubble bath and shower gel firm Radox Spa - found the song was even more relaxing than a massage, walk or cup of tea. So relaxing is the tune, apparently, that people are being Rex advised against listening to it while driving.

IDK, it just makes me want to eat.

I was more tensed than ever; felt like I was palpitating and shit. D:

[ANNOUNCEMENT] PH SONES, THIS IS OUR CHANCE.

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 22:51:00 +0800

Guys, this is our chance.

MOA Arena will be opened on May 2012 and they’re asking us who we want to see to perform there!

Just look for the ‘Survey Poll’ at the right side of the screen. Choose “Foreign” then type ‘Girls’ Generation’ and your email address then click submit.

You can click submit a as many times as you want before closing it. :)

I’m not saying that if the girls win the poll here, they’ll surely have a concert here. But this is an opportunity to make our dream of seeing SNSD in person come true. So let’s grab this chance.

THIS SHOULD BE OUR TIME NOW.
