| | World War 3? | | http://abcnews.go.com/International/obvious-north-korea-sank-south-korean-ship/story?id=10685652A North Korean torpedo was responsible for the March 26 sinking of a South Korean navy ship and the deaths of 46 sailors aboard, South Korean officials said.
S.Korea minister blames North for warship sinkingForeign Minister Yu Myung-hwan said today it was "obvious" that the North Koreans sank the Cheonan warship as it sailed near the disputed water between the two Koreas.Officials in Seoul and Washington told ABC News that the South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak is preparing a statement for early next week that will officially blame the North and inevitably ratchet up tensions in the region.Until now, South Korea has been careful about apportioning blame to the North without substantial evidence. Pyongyang has repeatedly denied any involvement in the sinking.The smoking gun is a propeller that presumably powered the torpedo which a pair of South Korean fishing boats found at the bottom of the ocean last weekend. The propeller itself was in a "relatively fine condition," reported Chosun Ilbo, South Korea's largest daily newspaper.A team of investigators from... | |
| | ****Heads up everyone...korean peninsula heating up****** | | There is not a lot a lot to go on just yet, but some scant reports comming out of the Brittish press state a south korean navy ship is sinking, possibly due to a[i] torpedo strike.[/i] Reports also indicate that the south korean ship had fired shots at an unidentified ship from the north. there are joint training ops between the u.s. and south korean forces, not sure if they are going on now and this is an accident of some sorts, but indications are that the attack on the south korean ship came from the north. This comes at the same time that North Korea has reittereated it's threats of a nuclear strike on u.s. forces in response to the joint drills.

| | I've spent countless hours trying to get this working - | | And I finally found the answer!!! My son got an ipod touch a couple weeks ago, and he was in a big hurry to set it up, had no clue what he was doing and ended up adding all his stuff to my library. Well, now he's having a horrible time with things disappearing, but it looks like they're all on my regular ipod just fine. Which they shouldn't be. I've been all over the manual, the support for both ipods and itunes, looking for information on using 2 ipods with one computer. Well, he was very frustrated tonight and I've decided to figure it out before I go to bed. Well, about 2 hours ago I started working on this. And I've finally found it! I can't believe I had such a hard time getting this information. You would think that Apple realizes that more than one person in a household would have an ipod, but not more than one computer. I thought this would be an easy thing to find. I did finally find it and am now creating his own library, moving all his purchases into it, then hopefully it'll sync correctly and I can finish setting up the computer to accept both ipods. This has been very frustrating for both me and my son - I finally told him to just leave it all with me while he went... | |
| | Did Titanic really sink? | | I watched a programme a few days ago that hinted the most famous shipwreck of all is in fact her sister ship the Olympic.
The theory goes that the Olympic was damaged by a Royal Navy ship and after a Naval investigation they found themselves not guilty of any errors which caused the collision. This meant that the insurance company would not pay out on the damage done to the Olympic.
The damage done was significant and ran virtually the whole length of the starboard side of the ship.(The same side 'Titanic' was hit.) As a result repairs were made but the impact of the collision 'broke her back' rendering her nothing less than scrap metal. With the insurers refusing to pay out, a plot was hatched.
Over the coming weeks and months both Titanic and Olympic were in and out of the drydock at Belfast maybe swapping places 2-3 times per day. During this time several alterations were made to Olympic, mostly cosmetic but as the weeks passed many notice that the sisters were looking more like twins, it is alleged that this is where the switch took place.
Allegedly during her see trials only 1 of the 'Titanic' boiler/engine room crew returned for her maiden voyage. The rumor being that... | |

| | Satantists in the royal navy?! | | A devil-worshipping sailor in the Royal Navy has become the first registered Satanist in the British Armed Forces.Chris Cranmer, 24, a technician serving on the Type 22 frigate Cumberland, has been officially recognized as a Satanist by the ship's captain. That allows him to perform satanic rituals aboard and permits him to have a non-Christian Church of Satan funeral should he be killed in action.A spokesman for Britain's Ministry of Defence told CNN Sunday that it had a duty to allow members of the forces to practice their religion.He added that the MoD was an "equal opportunities employer" which did not stop anyone having their own religious values."The Royal Navy allows this kind of approach because it is clearly in line with current regulations. We are not aware of any other individuals who want to be registered as Satanists." Cranmer, 24, who comes from Edinburgh, Scotland, is now lobbying the Ministry of Defence to make Satanism a registered religion in the Armed Forces, says Britain's Sunday Telegraph.He says he wants Satanists to be able to join the military without "fear of marginalisation and the necessity to put up with Christian dogma."... | |

"One member of the crew was killed and two others were wounded. All are Chinese citizens," said Captain Melis from the Indonesian Eastern Fleet Navy information office in Surabaya, East Java. A press officer at the Chinese embassy in Jakarta, Xie Yong Hui, said he had been informed of the incident by the navy "and we are in the process of confirming this".

Three of the ships fled. The navy vessel hailed the fourth one, MV Fu Yuan Yu, which was carrying the Chinese flag. "We hailed the ship through radio contact and semaphore but received no answer.
