"Willie Wonkie's Shock Factory"

I was so surprised to come across this story!

I've sung "The Good Ship Venus" a few times, myself.

'Venus' is a head-turner/head-scratcher in the same way a person always looks at a Yorkshire Terrier doing #2 and wonders how it doesn't have its backside matted with dung.

1. It just does not look like it will be a good "sea-keeper", even with a slight turn near the bow.

2. The upright windows seem as though they will be hit bluntly by big seas, so must be quite strong.

3. There does not appear to be a way to wipe/wash the bridge windows, but they must have thought of that, surely.....

I presume that someone is already 'guilty' of not getting this right ('this' being "able to see into the future" and predicting the need for weather satellites) so, the person(s) need to be charged, found giulty, and incarcerated. After all, that will always make a positive impression on scientists and engineers, as it did recently in Italy. This also applies to those responsible for the launcher, and the weather forecasters who clear the launch window, the space-junk trackers who clear the window, and so on...... :-)

Oh, so making a joke that could bring down an airliner is OKAY if you are a candidate for the US presidential election; but, not if you are a passenger. http://rt.com/usa/news/tsa-shirt-arijit-delta-308/

Get a story off to www.groklaw.net and ask for publicity and advice there.

DO NOT take your personal security for granted. There are pirates out there, and they are not necessarily on the high seas.

DO think through how you can lock yourself into part of the boat like it is a "safe haven", complete with a system for sending a distress message, and a way of telling pirates that you have actibated the beacon/message. (Think language cards that say a clear message about what you have done.)

DO train in the use of your safety measures; in the light, in the dark, and under water (many ship's chandlers have training versions of EPIRBs, life jackets, etc.)

DO train in righting your boat, cutting away rigging, etc. Get a short section of the toughest rigging wire rope you are using, and train in getting it cut through.

ALWAYS use emergency lines if on the upper deck. NO EXCEPTIONS.

TRAIN in single-handedly "going about" and "back-tracking along your course" (the real course "through the water", not just 180 on the heading.) Everyone who stands watches!

Then... Relax.

I agree. I work in an open plan environment, and wish that I was in a room by myself. The 'scrum' as you call it is great for sharing the overview to let everyone know some of the detail from other people's work, so that there are not clashes or double-effort. Otherwise, give me a quiet and uninterrupted environment; even give me the high-walled cobicles of Dilbert!

I am a sometimes user of a simple library database, at a volunteer organisation, that was developed in Claris Filemaker Pro 2.0 v1. This is "as old as the hills", but you might be able to find a free download! (Contact me if you'd like me to get the source files from that organisation; that might make building the application easier.)

Otherwise, LibraryThing.com looks fine, and participating there will allow lots of people to know what religious publications are about.
