A video demonstrating the awesome power of
the childhood playthings we all love,
exploding fireworks. This includes M-80,
Cherry Bombs, Silver Salutes, and Flash
Powder itself. These firecrackers make the
regular firecracker look like a party popper!
This video was made (and all the
firecrackers reproduced) for a University
science project... Enjoy!! And please, do
not do this at home.
Comments and ratings welcome!

| 67 Sailing Yacht Auction, M80 Stiletto, Water-Ski Squirrel |
 |
http://www.TheBoaters.TV EP 67 - First up:
The 114-Foot Luxury Sailing Yacht "Ring
Andersen" Goes Up for Bids -- On eBay!
As reported by Gregory Richards of "The
Virginian-Pilot:" Last Tuesday in Norfolk
Virginia, when the Virginia Heritage
Foundation put the historical 114-foot vessel
"Ring Andersen" up for auction, while it drew
a crowd of potential buyers, not one bid was
made!
The "Ring Andersen" is a boat with history,
advanced technology, and luxury. This
114-foot beautiful sailing vessel began life
in 1948 as a cargo ship out of Denmark, and
in 1962, the Baltic trader ketch became one
of the first Caribbean charter yachts. In
1980, she returned to the boatyard for a
complete rebuild from hull to mast tip and
turned into a world-class luxury charter
yacht.
So WHY doesn't anyone want her?
The ship was recently appraised at 3.2
million dollars and, according to auctioneer
William J. Summs, chief executive of Atlantic
Asset Management Group Inc., building a new
vessel to match the 59-year-old "Ring
Andersen" might cost as much as $10 million.
Yet, when he opened the bidding at $350,000,
no one in the crowd bid. Less than two
minutes later, the auction was over.
BUT, as of last Friday, there were are at
least two potential bidders on eBay: The top
bidder, from Annapolis, Md., bid $300,800
(note: there was a $650,000 reserve). The
second highest bidder, from Oslo, Norway, bid
$100 less than the top bid.
The proceeds, which The Virginia Heritage
Foundation hopes to receive, will support the
foundation's other ship, the "Schooner
Virginia," which offers youth sail training
and acts as a floating ambassador for the
state.

Next up: The U.S. Navy Redefining What It
Means by "Stealth" Ships
The U.S. Navy is banking on the release and
testing of the 80-foot "M80 Stiletto" to
transform how the Navy operates a stealth
fleet.
With two twin hulls, shaped like an "M", and
a breadth of 40 feet, the
experimentally-designed ship resembles more
of a tank than anything that floats in water.
And unlike metal ships, the prototype
"Stiletto" is made of carbon fiber and has no
radar-evading capabilities.
In an age where military vessels are getting
narrower to avoid detection, the M80 performs
a unique function with its width; the hull
can capture and redirect waves, creating a
smooth ride even in the most tempestuous
conditions.
Currently, the "Stiletto" is stationed on the
East Coast, and while acknowledged that it
might be the only one of its kind ever built,
it's encouraging to see the developers
looking outside the box for design solutions
to current Naval development.
For more information on the M80 Stiletto,
please visit M Ship Co., the private design
firm responsible for the "Stiletto"'s
conceptualization, at http://www.MShipCo.com.
Finally today: Meet Twiggy the Water-Skiing
Squirrel!
This world-famous animal novelty act began
back in 1979 when Twiggy and her caretakers,
Chuck and Lou Ann Best, appeared on the TV
show Real People to show off this
one-of-a-kind pet trick
Based in Deltona, Florida, The Bests found
the orphaned squirrel after Hurricane David
in 1978, and while raising it as a family
pet, learned that she really took to the
water--often riding on their shoulders when
they took dips in the pool. Chuck and Lou Ann
proceeded to teach their squirrel to ski
while on river outings.
Twiggy is actually several gray squirrels who
have been trained in succession to ride on
buoyant foam blocks, which are then towed
behind a remote-controlled boat in heated
pools.
The act has been touring for 27 years all
across the US, Canada, Bermuda, France, and
Germany and has appeared in numerous books,
magazines, newspapers, and on television
shows all over the world.
Visit Twiggy's official website at
http://www.SkiingSquirrel.com where you can
go to see a schedule of upcoming appearances.
