Best ways to get to Biliran Island from manila (cost, time, comfort, safety)?

October 30th, 2009




i’m only gonna be in manila for 11 full days, and i dont have much money, i am meeting my girlfriend for the first time, and then we hope to get married in the U.S. next year. Flying sounds expensive but time saving, boat/bus sounds cheap but time consuming. But the time cramped on a bus may give me an idea as to how we handle tough things together, or just the long travel together??? any help would be great.(by the way i will only have $1000 U.S. Dollars(51,450 Pesos) for my entire two weeks in the country for food/stay/gifts/fun. thanks for your help people :)

houseboats?

October 29th, 2009




so 1 of my dreams was to live on a house boat
problem is I have never even been in a boat
and I dont even realy live by much water (except the illinois river)

here are some questions:
are there schools to learn how to drive boats?

or is that something thats just passed down by sailors or self taught?

is there rent on a house boat? (ya im seriously asking that lol)

is it true there is no laws in the middle of the ocean?

are house boats just as expensive as a real house?
whats an average price?

lets say I have a house boat on the ocean
can I just go any where or stop any where to sleep
or do I have to dock at certain times

are yacht’s the technical term for house boat? or are they something completely diffrent

sorry for all the questions
I have no experiance with boats
I just always thought it would be fun living on a house boat

pretty much any info on houseboats or the life style would be cool

Formula to calclulate effort needed to move a weight on two wheels up any incline with known % slope or degree

October 29th, 2009




Seek inclusion of primary factors. Helpful in using boat ramps to launch and remove a boat from water, to determine number of people needed, safety, need for winch, need for motor assist, need for wheel stops, etc. Helpful in learning the effort saved in employing two wheels to any load. Assume bearings, friction, wheel flex, and slope surface are not impacts. Include variance for wheel size, changes in slope degree or % and load. Wheels at or near the balance point of load. Looking for a simple formula as opposed to inclusive of all or lesser factors.
Define equation symbols, increments and constants for use as: F = force in (what) pounds, etc. Also is theta the degree of rise or other? Give an example and result for shadow effort. Indicate omitted factors not included. Why is there no wheel diameter included?

Have invented a system that will cut fuel consumption by 30 to 50% to the entire transport system how can I?

October 25th, 2009




find a law firm that will finance the patenting and eventual marketing if I don’t have the income to face the expenses? have contacted some so called contigency law firms, but they all seem to be interested only if I will cover their costs.
Have a prototype I am able to prove my claim to be genuine. the system does not interfere with the external appearance, the safety, or the emission system of a car, aircraft or boat. Any venture capitalist out there willing to finance a winning project of inestimable value? Or someone ready to buy my system?

What do you think of my story?

October 21st, 2009




This is just the beginning or the Rising Action I want peoples’ opinions before continuing

Cruise Ship Fun

“Kids come down here, family meeting” Mrs. Fargo shouted. Jennifer, Tom, and Zayda walked down the stairs and into the dining room. “everyone have a seat, we each have 1 week off so it’s time to vote on a vacation” Mr. Fargo said. “you have the choice of a 4 day trip to Australia or a 7 day cruise to Mexico” Mrs. Fargo announced. “cruise” Tom shouted excitedly. “trip to Mexico al right, cruise” Zayda said. “Boat” jennifer said pointing to Uncle Hatchers Yacht. “well it’s 3 to 2 so we’re forced 2, lets take the cruise” Mrs. Fargo said.
Saturday morning the family arrives to the airport. “you excited?” Mrs. Fargo said while going through the security checkpoint. “yea” Mr. Fargo said lugging all the suitcases. after the security checkpoint and breakfast the family arrived at gate 7A. “Attention Ladies and gentlemen we will now begin boarding all our first class passengers. on flight 607 nonstop to Los Angeles at gate 7A” the boarding lady announced. “daddy the lady said we need to board” Jennifer said. “I know sweetheart lets go” Mr. Fargo said. the family board their flight and land safely in Los Angeles. Saturday night they stay in a hotel and get a cab to the Port of Long Beach
At 11AM the Fargos are in line to get their cabin keys. “mom I’m tired” Tom said. after getting their cards they go up the escalator and step on the gangway. “ship!!” Jennifer yelled pointing to the huge cruise ship docked in front of them. “look at this view” Zayda yelled. once they board they got to eat lunch then to their cabin. “okay Zayda since you’re 14 you go to Circle C get the paperwork then explore the ship, Tom since you’re 16 you go to O2, take this sticker, both of you be back at 3:45” Mrs. Fargo commanded. “what about me daddy?” Jennifer asks.
“you go to Camp Carnival, we’re going to take you there” Mr. Fargo said. at 3:45 everyone returned to then cabin and sat down. “okay we’re going to the Normandie to eat at 6:00 so…” Mrs. Fargo was interrupted by a doorbell type chime. “we have a doorbell?” Tom asked. “attention all passengers I am captain Galotto we will be having a mandatory muster station drill, once you hear the emergency alarm grab your life jackets and without putting them on head ti your muster station indicated on the back of your cabin door, this drill is mandatory” the captain said over the intercom system.
after the drill and dinner the family goes to bed. the next morning at 7:56 AM they are eating on the 7th deck. then a loud bang roars through the ship. then the ship begins to rock back and forth. “what was that?” a woman from the table next to them asks. “man overboard” a faint voice shouted. tension growing by the second 45 seconds pass, the sea is calm, the room is quiet. all of a sudden a second bang even louder, the rocking is so hard plates fall off tables and people are thrown to the glass walls. then the room is again quiet, everyone anxious.
