I'll be going with that., Jacky Tar. I have shoes and I have boots. The boots are more fun. The shoes are a class act. The logic for shoes on a slippery deck doesnt work well out in a field at a renn faire. The arguements are old .., Its a beaten subject..., there is a smell to it. Wear what ever you want too. Be happy.., do your thing. Enjoy.

We get it all the time in the Philippines. The best way to put it is..., "This is the kind of stuff Tinkerbell sprinkles at dream-time" At night when the sky is clear and the moon is out., if you go swimming you can usually see what looks like sparks coming off your fingertips and feet. The more you thrash about the more you see it. In some area youll see it in the wake of a ship or as the water crashes in the surf. Imagine taking a glass of water from the ocean there., and it is clear ., you see nothing.,but under a microscope you find a microscopic cell called Bio-Luminesence . When Bio-Luminesence is disturbed its defense mechanism is to refract light. Night Dives are Awesome...., you have to also consider many corals the opposite of a flower. A Flower opens up with light. Some corals come alive in the dark. With a flashlight on a night dive many corals are electric blue green pink ect., much of the ocean is nocturnal. LEARN TO DIVE. 3/4 of the planet is under water. .., If you arent diving your missing alot. PADI The way the world learns to dive.

I never did post on this and I have had the DVD for about 1 year now., YES IT WAS GOOD.,I wish I was there., 168 navies from around the world were there represented by a ship from there country. Quite an event., the largest firewoks display in the world ever. Trafalgar 200 must have been great unless you were french As a side note my bronze bust of Admiral Nelson just didnt look right with out his hat there fore I went to work. After studying Nelson ALOT this year (He was an amazing man really) I have learned his full name............................., Lord Nelson's full title, at the time of his death, was Vice Admiral of the White The Right Honourable Horatio, Viscount Nelson, Knight of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath. In addition, he was Baron Nelson, of the Nile and of Burnham Thorpe in the County of Norfolk, Baron Nelson, of the Nile and of Hillborough in the County of Norfolk, Duke of Bronte in the nobility of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Knight of the Grand Cross of the Order of St Ferdinand and of Merit and a Knight of the Ottoman Empire's Order of the Crescent,Knight Grand Commander of the Order of St Joachim, Colonel of the Marines, Freeman of Norwich, Bath, Yarmouth, London, Salisbury and Exeter Truly a decorated sailor .

They look pretty cool...., a friend of mine did a small propane cannon.., and some farmers use them as well for getting rid of birds ., keeps them off the crops. Are you going to fire propane?., its a pretty loud boom. any way., pretty cool project !!!

Musketeers were more 1650's I believe ., just short of GAoP. They were french But the boots were cool. Master and commander is about 1805 Nelsons day.., Napoleonic wars., about 100 years after the GAoP. Pussers made Rum exclusively for the British Navy for 300 years. Captain Morgan loaned his cape to Will Turner.

I believe they are PVC or ABS pipe along with conduit straps for trunnion caps..., there is 4 cannon on a bed without a dent in the mattress . Pretty creative.

Personally I wouldnt take the cruise ship unless you basically wanna be on a cruise ship. Also I wouldnt worry about the resort either.., What I would do however is.........., Take the resort trip......, for the room and the water sports. If you dont have a PADI certification., then get on the net and find out what little dive shop right there has PADI courses., very likely the resort youll be staying at has them...., GET PADI CERTIFIED for diving., (3-days for a lifetime license) PADI is the worlds recognized DIVE organisation., and is in every country., Its a lifetime license., once you get it., you can dive anywhere., anytime..,and resorts around the world will rent you tanks and gear. Spend the rest of the trip diving from a boat or? with a divemaster since he knows the area., tell him your new but wanna see lotsa fish..., do they have a santuary., take a throw away under water dive camera., and stale rolls of bread for feeding fish at 50 ft below sea level. Good memories of your trip. Dont worry about the 200 dollar dinner., between scuba courses go to the public market., get mangos an avacados., and a knife from the market., as well as instant coffee 3 in 1 to take back to the room. Eat as the natives do.., check out the enviroment..., explore a little. Its cheaper and youll feel great ! When in Rome do as the Romans do. When in Spain do as the Spaniards do. When in San Francisco Do Nothing..., leave..., fast. In other words ., do your own thing at the resort ., 3/4 of the planet is underwater get certified take on a new hobby ., LOVE your life be grateful.., Its AWESOME. Diving is unbelievable....,this maybe your one chance to do it. Thats me..,just my humble opinion. Thats what we do...., I am a "Dive-Pirate".

No..., there is no discoloration for gold., all those things Cascabel mentioned in his post are true about the qualities of gold. There is no taste.., no metal ., like drinking a beer from an aluminum can..., no nothing like that. Dent.., no-way., If you can dent a gold implant., or crown., the porcelin would have shattered under much less pressure. The only thing I notice is the Gold feels smoother to my tongue., some teeth are rough or a little leathery.,., not gold., smooth., other than that the only other thing I notice is the strange looks I get ..., but from where my eyes are located I cant see them (Them=Gold-Teeth) I think with my service clothes on I tend not to grin as big....., but with pirate garb I smile huge.., and at the wifes Christmas party for work., I will wear a 750.00 suit., look like a gazillion bucks., just dazzling., extend my hand out to her boss., grip his hand to a point he is nervous., while rolling the hand shake to expose a 1 ounce gold skull ring., then give him my "Dirty-Grin" ...., yea..............., A lot of gold....., all of it really wrong........, thats my favorite part :)

Actually it was an arguement.,and he said no. Not in the front. People will change their mind .,or tell others the name of the dentist that did it.,and on and on. I finally got it thru to him I wanted it., I am paying for it., ect., but it was an arguement over a few days. Now he understands why I want them and is cool to do whatever I want done. I have seen grills. I am not to excited about the hip hop. For me Gold is alot stronger than porcelin + I like the look it does for me ., I will retire soon and live at our beach dressed as a pirate daily doing dive courses. Yes I am strange but you only live once.,and.....,I am enjoying it * Wicked-Wicked-Grin * :)

This doesnt look real pretty ., 6 megapixels., and a self taken photo and snarl later., ask and ye shall recieve. The new one is on the bottom..., I do believe 4 more are coming to the other side., If I need crowns I will get gold., and at 44 ., the fillings on fillings arent too good . Its time for crowns. Dirty isnt it

Bronze can be differant in its mix., but for the most part it would be 85% copper 5% tin 5% lead and 5% whatever? Bronze is very differant from brass. Brass is 60% copper and 40% Zinc. I have cannons made of both. I can tell you this.,the U.S. Government doesnt have brass cannons . It has steel ., Iron ., and Bronze., Bronze being the prefered gun due to corrosion resistance and strength., yes strength.,, 2 cannons of equal size and bore ., the Bronze will be substantially heavier. Also I am unaware of a Bronze barreld pistol or rifle however ., and there are several in brass. I have 2 pistols and 1 brass blunderbuss with brass barrels. I just purchased a Bronze bust of "Nelson" It will be interesting to see what the properties are., its an english peice from the mid 19th century . Metals today are alot differant., they are better. The buckles could be any of a variety of mixes. They are good looking buckles no doubt and will make fine accruements to your kit.

I cant answer that..., but I will ask for you. I will be going in next week for my second gold tooth.,the lab work should be done then. I like them !
