Amazing Ocean Whirlpool (Full Video!)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-05-22 | Some of the most notable whirlpools in the world are the Saltstraumen outside Bodø in Norway, which reaches speeds of 37 km/h (23 mph); the Moskstraumen off the Lofoten islands in Norway (the original maelstrom), which reaches speeds of 27.8 km/h (17.3 mph); the Old Sow in Eastport, Maine, United States, which has been measured with a speed of up to 27.6 km/h (17.1 mph); the Naruto whirlpools in Japan,[2] which have a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph); and the Corryvreckan in Scotland, which reaches speeds of 18 km/h (11 mph).
Powerful whirlpools have killed unlucky seafarers, but their power tends to be exaggerated by laymen. There are virtually no stories of large ships ever being sucked into a whirlpool. Tales like those by Paul the Deacon, Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe are entirely fictional.
There was a short-lived whirlpool that sucked in a portion of Lake Peigneur in New Iberia, Louisiana, United States after a drilling mishap in 1980. This was not a naturally-occurring whirlpool, but a man-made disaster caused by breaking through the roof of a salt mine. The lake then behaved like a gigantic bathtub being drained, until the mine filled and the water levels equalized

Amazing Ocean Whirlpool!

whirlpoolhitman 2013-05-21 | A whirlpool is a swirling body of water produced by the meeting of opposing currents. The vast majority of whirlpools are not very powerful. More powerful ones are properly termed maelstroms. Vortex is the proper term for any whirlpool that has a downdraft. Whirlpools in oceans are usually caused by tides. Very small whirlpools can easily be seen when a bath or a sink is draining, but these are produced in a very different manner from those in nature. Smaller whirlpools also appear at the base of many waterfalls.[1] In the case of powerful waterfalls, like Niagara Falls, these whirlpools can be quite strong. The most powerful whirlpools are created in narrow, shallow straits with fast flowing water.

Strange Whirlpool sucks down crab!

whirlpoolhitman 2013-05-15 | How Do Whirlpools Begin?
When flowing water hits against any kind of barrier, it twists away and spins around rapidly with great force. This creates a whirlpool. Whirlpools can occur in a small area where a piece of land juts out into a river, causing the water to swirl around.

They can also occur in the middle of the ocean when one current meets an opposing current, as when an incoming tide hits the ebb current of the last tide. Strong winds can also whip up the water into whirlpools.

The Maelstrom, a whirlpool off the coast of Norway, is one of the most famous, although writers such as Jules Verne, in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and Edgar Allan Poe, in A Descent into the Maelstrom, have exaggerated its power. The Maelstrom is formed by the current hitting rocks and opposing tides.

In the United States, the Whirlpool Rapids of the Niagara River, between New York State and Canada, have such a violent current that they have actually carved a round basin out of the surrounding rock.

Tornadoes Across the Globe (Global Disasters Waiting to Happen)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-05-13 | A 2.5 mile wide tornado rammed through Hallam Nebraska in 2004. Could a similar twister be waiting to touch down? There is no telling exactly when and where the next super tornado will hit, but it is reasonable to assume that we will experience another disaster of this sort fairly soon.

The United States is not the only nation to face these killing machines. On April 26, 1989, 1300 people died in Bangladesh thanks to the enormous Daultipur-Salturia Tornado. Antarctica has been the only continent on earth to be immune from tornadoes. Scientists have systems of detecting tornadoes, but the last minute warnings can only do so much. And since there is no way to control this disastrous act of nature, we'll just have to cross our fingers and hope we don't have a repeat of 2004.

Donkey and Giraffe mating! (Animals Breeding)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-05-13 | Crazy clip of a Giraffe and Donkey mating!
Animal breeding is a branch of animal science that addresses the evaluation (using best linear unbiased prediction and other methods) of the genetic value (estimated breeding value, EBV) of domestic livestock. Selecting animals for breeding with superior EBV in growth rate, egg, meat, milk, or wool production, or have other desirable traits has revolutionized agricultural livestock production throughout the world. The scientific theory of animal breeding incorporates population genetics, quantitative genetics, statistics, and recently molecular genomics and is based on the pioneering work of Sewall Wright, Jay Lush, and Charles Henderson.

Worlds DEADLIEST ANIMALS, The Monster Congo TIGERFISH!

whirlpoolhitman 2013-04-17 | Growing up to 5 feet and length and weighing in at over 150 pounds, the Goliath Tigerfish makes a piranha look like a guppy in comparison to this ferocious beast. Locals say it's the only fish that doesn't fear the crocodile, and will even devour some of the smaller ones! In rare instances, it's also been known to attack humans. *Gulp*
As if 32 teeth the size of a Great White Shark's weren't scary enough, this fish has incredible eyesight in murky water and can sense low-frequency vibrations emitted by prey. It has been observed going after 60 pound catfish and literally slicing them in half.

Check out this clip from the Discovery Channel's "River Monsters" where professional angler Jeremy Wade lands the fish after quite a struggle:

Lion Attacks Man (Horrific Lion Attack!)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-04-17 | Hunters get attacked by a lion

An African lion killed a worker Wednesday at a wildlife sanctuary called Cat Haven in Dunlap, California.

Twenty-four-year-old Dianna Hanson of Seattle died after a 350-pound (160-kilogram) lion named Cous Cous escaped a smaller pen and attacked Hanson as she was cleaning its main enclosure, according to CNN. Hanson reportedly died quickly of a broken neck, and the lion inflicted other injuries after death. The Fresno County sheriff deputy shot and killed the lion in an effort to stop the attack, but it was too late, according to news reports. (Also see "Pittsburgh Zoo Tragedy: Why Did African Wild Dogs Attack Boy?")

We asked two leading big cat experts to weigh in on the tragedy: Craig Packer, a 2012 National Geographic Waitt grantee and ecologist at the University of Minnesota; and conservation scientist Luke Dollar, grant-program director of the National Geographic Society's Big Cats Initiative.

What was your reaction to the news?

Craig Packer: The young woman was apparently attacked when the lion broke out of its holding cage and caught her while she was cleaning out its enclosure. Fully-fledged zoos are always extremely careful to keep their staff out of harm's way with heavy duty holding facilities.

Luke Dollar: I hope we don't try to vilify a law-enforcement officer who was acting on short notice in an attempt to get medical attention to the victim as quickly as possible. The danger has to be removed.

The lion is a predator and its a big, powerful animal. Whether it intended to "attack and devour" the keeper or simply "played too rough" is not clear at present. What's certain is that these animals demand a great deal of respect and constant vigilance.

Is there any bigger takeaway from this incident?

CP: Lions attract a lot of attention: Lion Country Safari, the Lion King, Born Free, Chronicles of Narnia, the Cowardly Lion, etc. They are big fluffy mammals with cute cubs and affectionate family relationships.

Most of the time they seem relaxed and cuddly—so it's easy to forget that they react to meat with the reflexive instincts of a shark. Ten years ago Roy Horne (of Siegfried and Roy) was attacked by a tiger that they had handled for years—these attacks happen when people forget about the shark inside.

Can wild animals like lions be domesticated?

LD: To take a big cat and treat it as a pet is ill advised. It really is wonderful to love and respect these creatures, but it is truly folly [to think] that one can commune and be friends with them. We have learned that lesson over and over, whether it's with bears or big cats or venomous snakes.

We have this fascination [with dangerous animals such as lions] because of their potential lethality, but for some reason we still cross the line that should never be crossed. ... Anthropomorphization is a dangerous thing. These are wild animals—this is not Simba from the Lion King.

Megalodon (MEGALODON SHARK!)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-04-15 | Megalodon didn't earn its name ("giant tooth") for nothing. The teeth of this prehistoric shark were over half a foot long, serrated, and heart-shaped (by comparison, the biggest teeth of a Great White Shark are only about three inches long). You have to go back 65 million years--to none other than Tyrannosaurus Rex--to find a creature with consistently bigger choppers, though the canines of some saber-toothed cats also measured up.

Horrific Shark Attack! (BRUTAL SHARK ATTACK!)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-04-15 | A shark attack is an attack on a human by a shark. Every year around 100 shark attacks are reported worldwide. Seventeen fatalities are recorded as having being caused by shark attacks in 2011, out of 118 recorded attacks.[1] Despite their relative rarity, many people fear shark attacks after occasional serial attacks, such as the Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916, and horror fiction and films such as the Jaws series. Almost all shark experts consider that the danger presented by sharks has been exaggerated. The creator of the Jaws phenomenon, Peter Benchley, attempted to dispel the myth of sharks being man-eating monsters in the years before his death!

The Biggest Snake In the World! (BIGGEST SNAKE IN THE WORLD!)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-04-04 | The world's heaviest snake is the green anaconda which can be found in the rainforests, swamps and marshes of South America. Although it is widely recognised that the articulated python can grow longer, the green anaconda can stake claim to the title of largest snake due to its girth and weight.

How big can it get?
In 1944 it was reported that a green anaconda exceeding 11 metres (37 feet) had been shot at the border of Venezuela and Colombia. Like many such reports, the information was a little sketchy and was never verified -- the snake allegedly slithered away before being weighed. In 2009 though, a substantiated report told of a 5.5 metre green anaconda in Surinam, a small South American country. Whilst not as big, this is still considered a large snake.

HALF GIRL HALF SNAKE!

whirlpoolhitman 2013-04-03 | In Greek mythology, Echidna (Ancient Greek: Ἔχιδνα, "she viper") was half woman half snake, known as the "Mother of All Monsters" because most of the monsters in Greek myth were mothered by her. Hesiod's Theogony described her as:
[...] the goddess fierce Echidna who is half a nymph with glancing eyes and fair cheeks, and half again a huge snake,[1] great and awful, with speckled skin, eating raw flesh beneath the secret parts of the holy earth. And there she has a cave deep down under a hollow rock far from the deathless gods and mortal men. There, then, did the gods appoint her a glorious house to dwell in: and she keeps guard in Arima beneath the earth, grim Echidna, a nymph who dies not nor grows old all her days.[2]
According to Apollodorus, Echidna was the daughter of Tartarus and Gaia,[3] while according to Hesiod, either Ceto and Phorcys or Chrysaor and the naiad Callirhoe were her parents.[4] Another account says her parents were Peiras and Styx (according to Pausanias, who did not know who Peiras was aside from her father).[5] Echidna was a drakaina, with the face and torso of a beautiful woman (depicted as winged in archaic vase-paintings) and the body of a serpent, sometimes having two serpent's tails.[6] She is also sometimes described, as Karl Kerenyi noted, in archaic vase-painting, with a pair of echidnas performing sacred rites in a vineyard, while on the opposite side of the vessel, goats were attacking the vines:[7] thus chthonic Echidnae are presented as protectors of the vineyard.
The site of her cave Homer calls "Arima, couch of Typhoeus".[8] When she and her mate attacked the Olympians, Zeus beat them back and punished Typhon by sealing him under Mount Etna. However, Zeus allowed Echidna and her children to live as a challenge to future heroes. Although to Hesiod, she was an immortal and ageless nymph, according to Apollodorus, Echidna used to "carry off passers-by", until she was finally killed where she slept by Argus Panoptes, the hundred-eyed giant.[3]

Funny New Breeds Of Animals! (FAIL!)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-03-21 | A crossbreed or crossbred usually refers to an animal with purebred parents of two different breeds, varieties, or populations. Crossbreeding refers to the process of breeding such an animal, often with the intention to create offspring that share the traits of both parent lineages, or producing an animal with hybrid vigor. While crossbreeding is used to maintain health and viability of animals, irresponsible crossbreeding can also produce animals of inferior quality or dilute a purebred gene pool to the point of extinction of a given breed of animal.[citation needed]
The term is also used at times to refer to a domestic animal of unknown ancestry where the breed status of only one parent or grandparent is known, though the term "mixed breeding" is technically more accurate. The term outcross is used to describe a type of crossbreeding used within a purebred breed to increase the genetic diversity within the breed, particularly when there is a need to avoid inbreeding.
In general use, the term hybrid is commonly used to refer to plant breeding, such as that of maize, though "hybrid" is also used to describe crosses between animals of the same genus but different species, such as the mule. "Crossbred" is more often used to refer to animal breeding within a single species.

Need Breed!

whirlpoolhitman 2013-03-20 | The discovery of the new species, in one of the country's last unexplored forest areas, is only the second time a new monkey species has been found in Africa in the last 28 years.
Although the 6,500 square mile area in which the shy lesula is found is remote and sparsely populated, the researchers warn the monkey is vulnerable to extinction as a result of hunting for bush meat.
They called for controls on hunting and the creation of a protected area covering its range to conserve the lesula and other wildlife found in the region.

737 COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT CRASH! (HORRIFIC PLANE CRASH)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-02-22 | The crash was modeled on others in which a plane lost speed and power just before touching down hard, then breaking into pieces. In this test case, after the crew parachuted out, another pilot flew the plane by remote control. The remote pilot slammed the jetliner into a dry lake bed at 140 mph after it had descended more than twice as fast as a fighter jet landing on an aircraft carrier.

Though the pilots could have survived this test crash, scientists found that flying in first class would have been fatal. Passengers in the middle of the cabin might have suffered concussions and broken ankles, while those in the rear could have walked away. Experts emphasize that the fatalistic view of many airline passengers -- the belief that if a plane crashes, you're unlikely to survive -- ignores data that show the great majority of people in such incidents actually live.

"The chances are that if you're in a crash, you will survive," says Tom Barth, an investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board who studied the crash's impact on occupants of the plane.

The aim of the Jimmy/Bibi Ocean Project is to raise awareness of the rapidly increasing plastic pollution in our oceans and to do it in a funky innovative way that gets attention.

The solar powered lamps will be made from collected beach plastic, either collected by you or by us. If you collect plastic beach polluting bits, mail them to us, then that Jimmy or Bibi lamp will uniquely yours.

The lamps are intended to remind everyone that our oceans are precious and that they should not be polluted with discarded plastic.

Plastic does not biodegrade it photo degrades into smaller and smaller pieces that last forever.

Initially we will make two solar powered lamp models - Jimmy Ocean and Bibi Ocean, 35cm high -- price including delivery worldwide will be $90. As we grow our beach plastic lamp range will increase, also there will be special editions.

It's a question of getting the message out.

WE NEED TO MAKE THIS PROJECT HUGE -- GLOBALLY HUGE - TO MATCH THE PROBLEM.

The more money that we get then the quicker we can spread the word that our fish are eating plastic -- just think about that.....that's horrible!

The Megalodon Shark Attack!

Ocean whirlpool! (Amazing!)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-02-02 | Whirlpools are caused by underwater currents being forced to rotate, usually by some under-water obstacle. Essentially if you were to fall into a whirlpool, you will be pulled down to the bottom and then carried away by the current (you will probably drown).

If you fall into the water you're basically screwed, though depending upon the strength of the whirlpool you may be able to swim to escape. The best chance of escape is by swimming in the direction of the rotation, but angled slightly outward - this ensures that the whirlpool is giving you all the possible speed it can and hopefully you can swim fast enough to get out.

If you're in a boat, however, you have much better odds. You can use the same principle, but crank the throttle. If this is unsuccessful you can drop your anchor (I know it's counter intuitive but it is proven physics that heavy objects will be thrown from the vortex simply because of how much momentum it can carry).

I saw a thing on the Discovery channel a couple months ago on whirlpools - sorry I don't remember what it was called :P

Biggest Whirlpool In The World!? (AMAZING)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-01-30 | Though said to be named the "Old Sow" whirlpool because it makes sounds like the grunts like a pig, it is more likely that it was actually the "olde sough" or "old drain." Pronounced suff, over the years the pronunciation of the Dutch word probably shifted to "sow" (much like the word plough, pronounced pluff, turning to plow) as did the spelling and backstory of its name. (Other smaller nearby whirlpools are now known as "piglets.")

The whirlpool is caused by the enormous tides and bathymetry of the ocean floor in the area, and while it is one of the largest in the world with a diameter of around 250 feet, however the speed of its vortex does not come close to being one of the fastest.

The water turbulence, while rarely a danger to larger boats, can be dangerous to man powered craft and exhibits some strange water phenomena, such as standing waves, "boils," "spouts," "troughs," "dishes," and "holes."

Amazing Ocean Whirlpool! (shot from under water)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-01-29 | "Funnels rotate clockwise. They are moving in the ocean like giant frisbees, two discs thrown into the air. Rotation occurs at a rate of one meter per second, the speed is sufficiently large compared to the speed of oceanic currents, on the border hoppers is a wave-step height of 40 cm," Castellane said.

Even during the dry months, when the movement of oceanic currents and the flow of the Amazon River practically comes to a standstill, the funnels do not disappear. Therefore, the nature of the funnels does not depend on the flow of water, which one of the world's biggest rivers brings into the ocean. The natural phenomenon, which creates the whirlpools, is unknown to modern science.

Whirlpool

whirlpoolhitman 2013-01-27 | A whirlpool is a swirling body of water produced by the meeting of opposing currents. The vast majority of whirlpools are not very powerful. More powerful ones are properly termed maelstroms. Vortex is the proper term for any whirlpool that has a downdraft. Whirlpools in oceans are usually caused by tides. Very small whirlpools can easily be seen when a bath or a sink is draining, but these are produced in a very different manner from those in nature. Smaller whirlpools also appear at the base of many waterfalls.[1] In the case of powerful waterfalls, like Niagara Falls, these whirlpools can be quite strong. The most powerful whirlpools are created in narrow, shallow straits with fast flowing water.
In popular imagination, but only rarely in reality, whirlpools can have the dangerous effect of destroying boats. In the 8th century, Paul the Deacon, who had lived among the Belgii, described tidal bores and the maelstrom for a Mediterranean audience unused to such violent tidal surges:
"Not very far from this shore... toward the western side, on which the ocean main lies open without end, is that very deep whirlpool of waters which we call by its familiar name "the navel of the sea." This is said to suck in the waves and spew them forth again twice every day... They say there is another whirlpool of this kind between the island of Britain and the province of Galicia, and with this fact the coasts of the Seine region and of Aquitaine agree, for they are filled twice a day with such sudden inundations that any one who may by chance be found only a little inward from the shore can hardly get away. I have heard a certain high nobleman of the Gauls relating that a number of ships, shattered at first by a tempest, were afterwards devoured by this same Charybdis. And when one only out of all the men who had been in these ships, still breathing, swam over the waves, while the rest were dying, he came, swept by the force of the receding waters, up to the edge of that most frightful abyss. And when now he beheld yawning before him the deep chaos whose end he could not see, and half dead from very fear, expected to be hurled into it, suddenly in a way that he could not have hoped he was cast upon a certain rock and sat him down."

Whirlpool! (Amazing Ocean Whirlpool!)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-01-27 | As currents flow along a coastline or in the middle of the ocean, they encounter resistance from landmasses or water with different properties. As a result of this resistance, the current meanders and pinches off into a "whirlpool". If you have ever observed water flowing in a stream, you have seen whirlpools from around the backsides of rocks or other impediments in a stream. The process is essentially the same in the ocean. The only difference is that the "whirlpools" or eddies that form in the ocean are much larger and generally more intense in terms of energy and momentum.

We don't have time to review all the processes that lead to the formation of eddies, but I want to introduce you to the major features of the eddies that form as a result of the Gulf Stream. Your book has a wonderful illustration of the formation of two types of eddies, or rings, as they are now called: these are the warm core rings and the cold core rings. As the Gulf Stream flows north, it encounters the Labrador flowing south along the banks of Cape Hatteras. As these two currents meet, they begin to meander (they wind back and forth like a snake). Eventually, these meanders "pinch off" from the main flow and become independently rotating structures, known as rings.

One set of rings, which contains the cold water of the Labrador Current, are known as cold core rings. These cold core rings spin off from the Gulf Stream and are propelled eastward into the North Atlantic Ocean. Their movements may take them quite far from the Gulf Stream and, depending on their size, they may retain their characteristics for months. As they spin off from the Gulf Stream, they have a certain rotational velocity, a net direction, and a characteristic temperature structure. Because their centers contain cold nutrient-rich water, a plankton bloom develops in the middle of these rings. The development of the plankton bloom, the development of organisms that feed on the plankton, and the eventual "death" of the ring as it mixes with the surrounding water is a fascinating study in the ecological succession of plankton communities. In recent years, entire oceanographic studies have been devoted to understanding the nature of the formation and evolution of these rings, and the biological communities that develop as a result of these rings.

On the other side of the Gulf Stream, warm water pinches off into structures called warm core rings. These rings typically spin off west and north of the Gulf Stream, and travel against the flow of the Labrador Current. Because their centers are composed of warm, nutrient-poor water, conditions are not ripe for plankton blooms. As such, these rings typically don't develop the kinds of biological communities we observe in cold-core rings.

The satellite image of sea surface temperature reveals quite nicely the differences between cold-core and warm-core rings. In the image shown, reds, oranges, and yellows are warm water, and greens and blues are cold water. Take a look at the center of the picture. You should be able to make out swirling masses of water associated with the northernmost part of the Gulf Stream. Can you see two dots of green in the middle of the red and yellow water? These are cold core rings. Just above them, on the other side of the Gulf Stream, is a large swirl of yellow water floating in the middle of green water. This is a warm-core ring. Note also the meanders of the Gulf Stream as it bends towards the east. It is these meanders that give rise to these rings.

Swimming With Dangerous Whirlpool!

Amazing Whirlpool In The Ocean! (BIGGEST WHIRLPOOL IN THE WORLD?)

whirlpoolhitman 2013-01-23 | . As you probably know, a whirlpool is one of those whirly, swirly, circular water-thingies -- I mean, "a rapidly rotating current of water," a vortex that occurs when opposing water currents, or a water current and a barrier, meet. (Kind of like "When Titans Clash!")

2. When you have a really powerful whirlpool, it's called a "maelstrom." (I don't mean when you personally have one; no offence intended.)

3. In 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the Nautilus gets sucked into a maelstrom; this doesn't happen in real life, as real naturally-occurring maelstroms, while they could pose a danger to an individual, could not actually capture and sink a ship. (Sorry, Mr. Verne!) Of course, if it is powerful enough, it can toss the ship off course, perhaps against rocks, thereby damaging or destroying it.

4. Saltstraumen is the most powerful whirlpool in the world. It's located off of Norway, and it is caused by the tremendously strong tide in the area.

5. Of course, not all whirlpools are powerful or permanent; little eddys that come and go in a stream are also whirlpools. (No offence intended to anyone named Little Eddie.)

6. Sometimes a whirlpool can be caused by very strong winds; these, naturally, are temporary.

7. The whirlpool at Niagara Falls is a popular tourist attraction (if not as popular as the Falls themselves). Honeymooners do need an occasional break, you know.

8. Greek myth (The Odyssey) speaks of the famous whirlpool Charybdis (of "Scylla and" fame). This is presumably a vortex near the Straits of Messina, off of Sicily, which is an interesting whirlpool but hardly the mighty monster of myth.

9. In addition to being a nickname for hot tubs (and, of course, a brand name appliance maker), a whirlpool is also the name of a spiral galaxy some 24 million light years from Earth.

10. Whirlpool is also the name given to at least 3 English-language films, from 1934, 1949 and 1959. The titles are metaphoric; none is the life story of a neglected and ignored eddy who grew up to become first a vortex for the mob and later a mafia maelstrom in his own right.

"Whirlpool"

How to Swim in Rough Conditions
It's windy and raining time to postpone the triathlon? Not likely. Sooner or later, you're going to be swimming in rough water. But don't fret: An ability to manage waves can ultimately be an advantage. If you're adept at battling waves, it could be a significant upper hand against less wave-resilient opponents. And, if you ever need to breaststroke away from a shipwreck, a healthy ability to navigate stormy seas could end up being a real lifesaver.
To start, you're going to need to know how to breathe. In the open water, however, an incorrect breathing style could quickly leave you with a stomach full of salt water. That's why open water swimmers need to coordinate breathing with the conditions. If waves are coming in from your right, breathe left. If blinding sun is coming in from your left, breathe right. This might be trickier than you think, especially if you've spent years in the pool breathing to only one side. Before you tackle rough water, go to a pool and swim a few laps while breathing only on the side that you find least comfortable [source: Murphy]. In rough weather, waves, wind and spray also mean that you'll have less of a window in which to pull in air -- so be sure to make every breath count. Right before surfacing, exhale all of the air in your lungs. That way, when you come up for air, you'll be able to breathe in more quickly.
Sometimes, instead of battling the waves, it pays to swim under them. If you get hit by a particularly hard wave, you may be forced to dog paddle to recover, wasting valuable energy in the process. By ducking under those waves like a dolphin, you'll avoid getting jostled often and your rough water swims will be much less frustrating [source: Keppeler]. If a wave is relatively small, save energy by simply hopping over it. Or, if it's small enough that you can just crash through it, simply turn sideways and hit the wave with your hip or shoulder. Do it properly, and the wave will simply pass around you.
Warming up before a swim is a good idea in all weather conditions, but it's especially important in rough seas. Get in, splash around, try a test sighting anything that will give you a good idea of water temperature, visibility and current. That way, long before the starting gun goes off, you'll be able to adjust your goggles, suit and swim plan as necessary.

Never Wake Up A Kitten! (Angry Cat)

whirlpoolhitman 2012-11-21 | In this video my Tabby Kitten Gizmo lashes out brutally attacking the camera!
plz *SHARE* this video if you find it cute

pproach your cat slowly and with caution. After you have given your cat time and space to calm down, approach him cautiously. You need to be sure that all visible signs of anger are gone, including the raised fur, hissing and arched back. However, even with these visible signs gone, your cat may still be harboring feelings of anger and be flighty and afraid, so taking it slowly is important.
Slowly reach out. Let him appraise your hand before actually touching him. If he shrinks back, hisses, spits or claws out, he's not ready yet, so give him some more time.
Let him smell your fingers so that he knows it is you, his trusted companion. If he responds favorably, consider giving him a few of his favorite petting strokes, such as a stroke on the head or back.
Don't crowd him out or try hugging him close. He is still in a wary state and petting is good enough for now.
If he is still biting, scratching or growling, back off for more time. Walk away pretending he is not even there. He'll get calmer.

Kittens Falling Asleep (Tabby Kitten)

A tabby is any cat that has a distinctive coat that features stripes, dots, lines or swirling patterns, usually together with a mark resembling an "M" on its forehead. Tabbies are sometimes erroneously assumed to be a cat breed.[1] In fact, the tabby pattern is found in many breeds of cat, as well as among the general mixed-breed population. The tabby pattern is a naturally occurring feature that may be related to the coloration of the domestic cat's direct ancestor, the African Wildcat, which (along with the European Wildcat and Asiatic Wildcat) has a similar coloration.

In cat genetics, pattern is unrelated to color, and so the tabby coat pattern can show up in combination with a variety of coat colors, including tortoiseshell (Tortoiseshell Tabby cats are often called 'Torbies'). A cat's coat can be described as red tabby or gray tabby. Black and blue are colors that usually show up without tabby markings, but with some cats, a faint tabby pattern can actually be noticed. Bi-color cats can have the tabby pattern show up on the colored patches of their coat. For example, Tortoiseshell cats sometimes display a pattern where the red-based and black-based tortoiseshell pattern is mixed with tabby markings. White spotting of any level can also appear in combination with tabby patterns; however, white is the only coat color that does not have any tabby markings.

Small Fluffy Tabby Kittens! (Cutest Kittens!)

whirlpoolhitman 2012-11-19 | Are these the world's cutest kittens? Heart-meltingly adorable animal caught on camera playing on a chair

Domestic kittens in developed societies are usually vaccinated against common illnesses from two to three months of age. The usual combination vaccination protects against Feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline calicivirus (C), and Feline panleukopenia (P). This FVRCP inoculation is usually given at eight, twelve and sixteen weeks, and an inoculation against rabies may also be given at sixteen weeks. Kittens are usually spayed or neutered at approximately seven months of age, but kittens as young as seven weeks may be neutered (if large enough), especially in animal shelters.[12] Such early neutering does not appear to have any long-term health risks to cats, and may even be beneficial in male cats.[13] Kittens are commonly wormed against roundworms from about four weeks.

Demon!

whirlpoolhitman 2012-11-18 | In traditional belief and fiction, a ghost is the soul or spirit of a deceased person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living. Descriptions of the apparition of ghosts vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes, to realistic, lifelike visions. The deliberate attempt to contact the spirit of a deceased person is known as necromancy, or in spiritism as a séance.

The belief in manifestations of the spirits of the dead is widespread, dating back to animism or ancestor worship in pre-literate cultures. Certain religious practices—funeral rites, exorcisms, and some practices of spiritualism and ritual magic—are specifically designed to appease the spirits of the dead. Ghosts are generally described as solitary essences that haunt particular locations, objects, or people they were associated with in life, though stories of phantom armies, ghost trains, phantom ships, and even ghost animals have also been recounted.[2][3]

Warship narrowly escaping clutches of Whirlpool!

whirlpoolhitman 2012-11-07 | A warship is a ship that is built and primarily intended for combat. As well as being armed, warships are designed to withstand damage and are usually faster and more maneuverable than merchant ships. Unlike a merchant ship, which carries cargo, a warship typically only carries weapons, ammunition and supplies for its crew. Warships usually belong to a navy, though they have also been operated by individuals or companies.
In wartime, the distinction between warships and merchant ships is often blurred. In war, merchant ships are often armed and used as auxiliary warships, such as the Q-ships of the First World War and the armed merchant cruisers of the Second World War. Until the 17th century it was common for merchant ships to be pressed into naval service and not unusual for more than half a fleet to be composed of merchant ships. Until the threat of piracy subsided in the 19th century, it was normal practice to arm larger merchant ships such as galleons. Warships have also often been used as troop carriers or supply ships, such as by the French Navy in the 18th century or the Japanese Navy during the Second World War.

Santa Claus VS Whirlpool!

whirlpoolhitman 2012-11-07 | The true story of Santa Claus begins with Nicholas, who was born during the third century in the village of Patara. At the time the area was Greek and is now on the southern coast of Turkey. His wealthy parents, who raised him to be a devout Christian, died in an epidemic while Nicholas was still young. Obeying Jesus' words to "sell what you own and give the money to the poor," Nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He dedicated his life to serving God and was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. Bishop Nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to the those in need, his love for children, and his concern for sailors and ships.

Under the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who ruthlessly persecuted Christians, Bishop Nicholas suffered for his faith, was exiled and imprisoned. The prisons were so full of bishops, priests, and deacons, there was no room for the real criminals—murderers, thieves and robbers. After his release, Nicholas attended the Council of Nicaea in AD 325. He died December 6, AD 343 in Myra and was buried in his cathedral church, where a unique relic, called manna, formed in his grave. This liquid substance, said to have healing powers, fostered the growth of devotion to Nicholas. The anniversary of his death became a day of celebration, St. Nicholas Day, December 6th (December 19 on the Julian Calendar).

Through the centuries many stories and legends have been told of St. Nicholas' life and deeds. These accounts help us understand his extraordinary character and why he is so beloved and revered as protector and helper of those in need.

Mike Tyson vs Whirlpool!

whirlpoolhitman 2012-11-07 | Mike Tyson is the most controversial heavyweight champion in boxing history. Fans and historians alike vehemently argue over whether Iron Mike deserves to be rated among the all time greats. Some fans insist that the young Tyson was perhaps the most dangerous if not the greatest heavyweight champion in history, while others argue that Tyson has been vastly over-rated citing that he lost all of his legacy fights. Both views have some credence.

How good was Mike Tyson? From 1986-1990 he was one of the most feared heavyweight champions ever. His unique melding of fantastic hand speed and shocking punching power made him a threat to any opponent he faced. Like Joe Louis and Sonny Liston before him Tyson's baleful stare and stunning power struck terror into the hearts of his opponents.

Because he scored some crushing one-punch knockouts some observers tend to think of Tyson as strictly a limited power puncher. However, in his youthful prime, he was much more than just a devastating hitter. Hank Kaplan, speaking of the young Tyson, wrote in Boxing Digest, "He has the best defense seen in the heavyweight division in many years." Tyson had excellent fundamentals, he showed good balance, exceptional head movement, kept his hands high, ducked and bent at the waist to remain in punching position and he slipped, blocked and countered punches very well. Tony Tucker and Bonecrusher Smith each managed to land only one significant punch in their entire fights against Tyson.

Iron Mike also was a fine combination puncher in his youth, an important skill that the later versions of Tyson abandoned possibly due to a lack of good work ethics. Famous trainer Angelo Dundee said after his fight with Trevor Berbick, "Tyson throws combinations I never saw before. When have you seen a guy throw a right hand to the kidney, come up the middle with an uppercut, then throw a left hook. He throws punches . . . like a trigger."
Tyson was also a debilitating body puncher. Watch the film of Tyson work over this whirlpool his body punching is incredible and just as workmanlike as that of a prime Joe Frazier.

The one legendary fighter that Tyson is most often compared to is Jack Dempsey who was one of his ring idols. Like Dempsey, Tyson was an aggressive bobbing and weaving perpetual motion machine that rushed his opponents from the opening bell. In the December 1988 Ring Magazine, Tyson and Dempsey: Is History Repeating Itself? writer John Reeves wrote about an incident in a bar while viewing the Tyson-Pinklon Thomas fight. Reeves had said to an old pug watching the fight, "A lot like Marciano huh?" "Not really" the old man replied, "I wouldn't say so. He fights more like Dempsey."

The Biggest Whirlpool In The World (Bermuda Triangle Whirlpool!)

whirlpoolhitman 2012-11-06 | Is this a Black Hole in the ocean and the caused of so many missing boats in the Bermuda Triangle!?

what is a Black Hole? Black holes may be among the strangest -- and most commonly misunderstood -- objects in our universe. The remnants of the most massive stars, they sit at the limit of our understanding of physics. They can contain several times the mass of our sun in a space no larger than a city. With gravity so intense that not even light can escape their surfaces, black holes can teach us about the absolute extremes in the cosmos and the very structure of space itself.

As for the Bermuda Triangle, for decades, the Atlantic Ocean's fabled Bermuda Triangle has captured the human imagination with unexplained disappearances of ships, planes, and people.

Some speculate that unknown and mysterious forces account for the unexplained disappearances, such as extraterrestrials capturing humans for study; the influence of the lost continent of Atlantis; vortices that suck objects into other dimensions; and other whimsical ideas. Some explanations are more grounded in science, if not in evidence. These include oceanic flatulence (methane gas erupting from ocean sediments) and disruptions in geomagnetic lines of flux.

Man In Whirlpool! (Real Ocean Whirlpool)

whirlpoolhitman 2012-11-05 | Do Not Try This At Home!
How dangerous are whirlpools?
Whirlpools occur when two opposing currents meet. They cause the water to spin round and round very rapidly. Huge whirlpools at sea are normally caused by powerful tides.

The most famous whirlpool is the Maelstrom, which appears between two islands off the coast of Norway. Sometimes this whirlpool is even strong enough to destroy small ships.

The ancient Greeks believed that the Charybdis whirlpool in the Mediterranean was caused by a monster.

Swimming with Extreme Ocean Whirlpool!

whirlpoolhitman 2012-11-04 | Natural whirlpools are the result of water tides that produce a swirled water effect. While the ocean often produces whirlpools, natural whirlpools from waterfalls and hot springs draw tourists and adventure-seekers alike. Before you head to a local natural whirlpool for a dip, however, you should understand the inherent dangers presented by swimming in such a powerful swell. In some cases, the dangers could far outweigh any benefits, but you'll need to make the decision for yourself.

Giant Ocean Whirlpool!

whirlpoolhitman 2012-11-04 | Whirlpools are caused by a turbulent flow of water. When moving river water is forced to twist around an object or to stream into a narrower riverbed, the water flows faster and is more likely to create an energetic swirling turbulence. In the ocean, depending upon the geology of the sea bed, driving currents can collide and create conflicting tidal flows. Water spins counterclockwise north of the equator and clockwise south of the equator. The destructive interaction forms a whirlpool, a powerful circular current of water. A maelstrom, the vortex of a violent turbulence, is the most deadly of all.
As we believe a black hole in the depths of uncharted space would suck us in if we venture too close, so did ancient seafaring folk believe a giant whirlpool, a spinning vortex, would suck down ships and sailors to their watery demise. When they sailed the largely unexplored seas, tales were exaggerated of maelstroms and the certain doom of impenetrable ocean depths. Even now though, small boats could be pulled down and sailors are warned to avoid these treacherous waters when the tide is running. Currents speeds increase when the tides change, so even a large boat may find steering impossible until the maelstrom subsides.
