hoary, you do NOT get into any grad school based on a liberal arts degree you
"ended up with". someone with an 800 in verbals would know that, hoary. I got into an Ivy grad school on a fellowship that paid for tuition hoary, you do NOT get into --- grad --- school, Ivy League or not, based on your SAT's. SAT's are used to determine undergrad admissions. someone with an 800 in verbals would know that, hoary. Refer back to your question, dickhead. You asked: "so, hoary, just what did you do with the liberal arts degree you "ended up with" (your exact words) when you found out you couldn't be educated in anything useful?" My answer: I got into an Ivy grad school. Now, on your way...I'm sure your buddies at the bath house are wondering where you are. -- We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah. What, me worry? |

genie, you are -- as usual -- confused. I have never stated that anchors are supposed to drag. a dragging anchor means the sailor has made an error. all chain sailors make this error on purpose because they are too lazy to anchor properly and wish to use an electric windlass (which is easier to use with all chain). Really? I have an "electric" windlass, and a mostly rope, partially chain rode...and you know what? It is perfectly easy to use. When I want to raise the anchor, I simply engage the engine, move towards the rode, and the windlass winds it up as we go. Usually the anchor comes up easily. If it is hard stuck, I reverse, let out line, attach an anchor ball, and use it to raise the anchor. This would be easier with chain? If I were using all chain, I'd need an anchor ball big as the pustule on your shoulders... You're full of ****, JaxAss. There are so many variables in anchoring that for you to claim that those who use all chain are lazy just shows what a dumb**** you really are.

What, pray tell, do you mean by that? his kind are the kind who purposely endanger the lives of others because they are too frickin lazy to anchor properly. you know, hoary, the clowns who "drag anchor" when in fact they purposely didn't set it correctly. Oh give me a break. If you have enough scope (like 10:1) anchors don't drag below their holding capability. ABOVE it, they drag, of course. Storm loads are extreme. There is also no guarantee that something won't foul your rode (like, for example, another boat) and cause you to get loose - often without any obvious reason AFTER the fact. There were a LOT of boats that got loose in Ivan around here. I'll bet that most of them got loose not because of their own mis-anchoring, but because someone else dragged into them - it only takes one pinball in the machine to screw dozens of people. That's why I do EVERYTHING in my power to avoid anchoring out for such an event, because while I have a shizload of brand new 3/4" rode to use for my anchors, I cannot control the other guy who gets loose, and it takes very little to screw you severely in a storm like this. One little pontoon boat that comes from shore and blows into your rode will hose you for sure. -- -- Karl Denninger ) Internet Consultant & Kids Rights Activist http://www.denninger.net My home on the net - links to everything I do! http://scubaforum.org Your UNCENSORED place to talk about DIVING! http://www.spamcuda.net SPAM FREE mailboxes - FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME! http://genesis3.blogspot.com Musings Of A Sentient Mind |

It was a pretty good score in math, but my high school graduating class was full of math geniuses, including a handful who got perfect 800s. One, my best friend, later won a big-time national math prize that presented him with a full scholarship to CalTech. He got a b.s. in physics, then got a master's in physics, then a doctorate in biology, and then, of all things, a law degree. We thought he'd never leave school. At last contact, his practice involved genetics and intellectual property law. He's still a very regular guy. -- We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E.

Subject: Anchors are SUPPOSED to drag?
From: (Hepsabar Schlarbek) Jesus! Reading some of JAX's posts are disturbing. Anybody know him personally? Please say "NO".... I know someone (in fact it's someone who we see in this group from time to time) who has met him, twice as I recall. From what I was told, after he introduced himself the first time they met he said, "I bet you think I'm an asshole." As I recall my friends response was a diplomatic one. :-) Capt. Bill |
