Nelly Ghenghen: TITANIC: Many of you think you know the Story, most of you have seen the movie, but next to none of you have seen this rare uncut footage of the last moments of one of the largest ships to ever sail the sea... see video below and the shocking revelations beneath.
On to the story of "jack" Dawson and the shocking revelation: Contrary to what most of you have known/believed for so long, Rose Dewitt Bukater(kate winslet) and Jack Dawson(leonardo di carpio) were actually fictional characters created by James Cameron. There was a man named J. Dawson (Joseph Dawson) who died aboard the Titanic. His gravestone bears the inscription "J. Dawson."(picture below) But James Cameron did not know that he existed until AFTER he wrote the Titanic screenplay and therefore could not have based the Jack character on J. Dawson.
The sign-on papers yielded more that Dawson was a 23-year-old. His address was given as 70 Briton Street, Southampton, and his home town listed as Dublin, Ireland.
The similarities between fact and fiction are striking however, both were young men, both largely penniless, who "gambled" their way aboard Titanic. One a serf to coal, the other a character who wielded charcoal to wood and both were intimately bound up with beautiful sweethearts.
Joseph Dawson was born in the slums of Dublin in September 1888...Dawson had made the acquaintance of a ship's fireman, John Priest (who talked him into taking a job on board the titanic). More importantly, he also came to know Priest's attractive sister, Nellie. The Irishman (Joseph Dawson) and the seaside girl began courting...
There was a belief in the family that Joseph Dawson might have married Nellie Priest. The newspaper report and a search of Southampton marital records for 1911-12 are all against it. Perhaps they had simply pledged their love forever...
So now you know, "The jack and Rose"characters and their infamous romance never existed, it was Just a fictional story designed to put a human face on the tragedy in order to capture a bigger audience. Most of you may ask "How about the old lady at who narrated at the beginning of the movie"?? The old lady who narrated the movie Titanic was Gloria Stuart she played Old Rose. yeah she as well was a fictional character.
However, Captain Smith, Thomas Andrews, Molly Brown (unsinkable molly), Bruce Ismay, Col. Gracie and others were all real people.
Addies: The violist that went down with the band was made up, its was actually a singer that went down. He sang row your boat as the ship went down. The iceberg was actually a German submarine which shot a missile at the Titanic because they believed there were weapons aboard.
nice pics...looks like u drew them on police sealing tapes anyhows, I shouldn't be one to talk as this one is not clear @ all(its officially gonna be four years this week)
sexytabhi: Nigeria, the favorite's at this year's FIBA Africa Championship tournament, will play Mali in their first game of the 2014 World Cup qualifier.
The second day of the FIBA Africa Championship tournament will feature a few of the tournament favorites seeing their first action of the event when play begins on Wednesday morning. The second day of games will also feature a first-time participant when Burkina Faso takes the court.
Tuesday's action featured all eight teams from Groups A and C playing in the first of three round-robin games. On Wednesday, Groups B and D will see the court as they begin to figure out seeding for the eventual 16-team knockout round when it begins next Monday.
The biggest game of the day will take place between Nigeria and Mali, which features two teams ranked in the world's top 50.
Nigeria's roster features a fair amount of the same players that participated for the country in the 2012 London Olympics and has even added a couple of extra recognizable names. Al-Farouq Aminu, Alade Aminu, Ike Diogu, Gani Lawal, Champ Oguchi and Ben Uzoh are among Nigeria's more high-profile players that have played stateside during either their professional or collegiate careers.
Mali hasn't made much noise on the world stage in recent years and they don't have the names that Nigeria does, but they made the tournament as a wild card participant and are currently ranked 49th in the world.
Wednesday's other games will feature Rwanda vs. Burkina Faso, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute's Cameroon taking on Congo and Tunisia -- the 2011 Afrobasket winner -- taking on Morocco.
Wednesday's Schedule* 8:30 a.m. - Rwanda vs. Burkina Faso
11 a.m. - Cameroon vs. Republic of Congo

Baybe: You may think you have found that special someone - the one who makes your heart beat faster than anyone else. But does he or she feel the same way about you? Would you know if your love interest didn't return your adoration no matter how much they proclaimed or avoided talking about their love for you? Follow the guidelines below for some sage advice about how each Zodiac Sign acts when they're really just not into you.
ARIES (Mar.21-Apr.19) Aries can't lie convincingly, and find it hard to maintain a cover-up. What you see is what you get. You'll know if they are all about you, because they will be all over you. If they aren't interested you won't hear a peep - nil, nada, nothing. It can be hard to swallow but at least you know where you stand.
TAURUS (Apr.20-May20) He or she used to buy you flowers, chocolates, and perfume all of the highest quality - now no more. Your Taurus lover may take you out to dinner, but you can't help noticing that his or her eyes are following the movements of another, and isn't really paying attention to what you are saying. Those long, sensuous kisses may become rather quick and lack passion. These are signs he or she is drifting away!
GEMINI (May21-Jun.20) Although he or she has many friends, your crush used to single you out in conversation and you always knew you were special. Now it's not the case. Geminis may have formidable intellects and adore word games, but they can be very hot in bed. If he or she is losing interest in you, he may find a million excuses why he or she can't spend time with you. A lack of interest in sex says it all.
CANCER (Jun.21-Jul.22) Trying to get a straight answer out of a Cancer native can be hard, even at the best of times. If he or she laughs a lot and is romantic and nurturing you are still in good standing. But if he or she starts to sulk, wears a frequent hangdog expression, and acts like an emotional martyr around you, it won't be too long before the ugly truth is known.
LEO (Jul.23-Aug.22) Leos love to be magnanimous at the best of times, and even if your Leo lover has lost interest in you he or she may still bring gifts around, though they may not be as expensive as they were. Eventually he or she will have to tell the truth, but will try to make you feel like a special friend while letting you down.
VIRGO (Aug.23-Sep.22) If your Virgo lover is losing interest, the first hint of this may be that he or she seems to be ill more than usual. That special date may be ruined by a headache or a bout of indigestion. Rest assured it can only get worse. You will be so fed up you will probably end the relationship yourself.
LIBRA (Sep. 23-Oct. 22) It's very hard to get a Libra to tell you when it's over. You may not notice anything much wrong at all. They seem to treat you in the same way and are just as 'nice' as ever, although if you are clever you may detect a slight edge to their words. They still cuddle and kiss you, and then one day you spot them out with someone else. Be warned!
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov.21) Watch out for the Scorpio lover, as he or she may try to make it all seem like your fault, even though it is blatantly theirs. When he or she was in love, your mate wanted to devour you. Once out of love a Scorpio may lose spice, or an appetite altogether - that's the way they are! If you notice that his or her sense of humor just got darker and more ruthless - make the break yourself!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21) Sagittarians can't keep their mouths shut and are not very good at being tactful. There is very little chance that your Sagittarian lover will be able to hide anything from you - even the fact they don't fancy you. They may even decide to make a joke out of it, just to add insult to injury. There are definitely other fish in the sea.
CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) Capricorns have a sense of duty which extends to their relationships. They are capable of keeping it all going long after the initial attraction wears off and will continue to play their part. Although they won't say anything they may spend more time at board meetings and on business trips. You will know something is missing - it's him or her!
AQUARIUS (Jan20-Feb18) If you are in a love relationship with an Aquarian you need to have been best friends to start with. As best friends he or she feels entitled to tell you everything, even the fact he or she has fallen in love with someone else. Gradually his or her behavior may become more and more bizarre and aloof. Better to find someone with a heart!
PISCES (Feb.19-Mar.20) Pisceans may have the hardest time of all telling you that the relationship is over. They feel so guilty and certainly won't want to hurt you. They are also capable of telling lots of white lies so that they can cover their backs and stay in your good graces. Eventually the lie will be out. You may have to be cruel to be kind. Sniff!
never been into these things but I expect they are quite reliable...it must be based on japanese culture I think cuz I've seen these names in sone animes I'm into
sexytabhi: Am prolly drunk and really high as I type this and kind of feeling naughty but at the same time,the words that keep coming to my head is the few sentences in the Song "amazing grace" ”Amazing grace How sweet the sound I was once lost But now I am found”
Am I lost or what,if I die today with this same belief in no religion,where will I be? Die and rot away and turn back to manure or what.
if u wanna believe in religion then do it for the right reasons...I prefer one atheist who does good and is real to a thousand believers who are hypocrites.. just do good and keep an open mind...you'l get the answers as life goes
hopefully, the end doesn't come too fast sha...like when crossing the road in your current state
Baybe: You might be wasting time analyzing what someone says to you to determine their feelings. A very small percentage of interpersonal communication occurs through words. It's been reported that over 90 percent of what we "say" to each other is non-verbal. So, no matter what someone tells you, some believe that the only way to get to the truth - the whole truth - is by turning off your ears (and your heart) and watching for they're not saying. The science of body language is relatively new and extremely complicated, but there are certain signals even an amateur can learn to spot. Check out just a few of the basics below, then try them out with the people you interact with your friends - people you know well enough and trust, with whom you can match true words and feelings. Once you've got them down, you can use them on your crush or partner!
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS Let's start at the top with facial expressions, an extremely good way to tell whether or not someone is being honest with you. Look at their eyes. If you notice them glancing frequently at a spot just past your ear during a conversation, it's time to change the subject, or prepare to lose your audience. A wandering gaze often indicates boredom. On the other hand, while it's true that someone looking intently into your eyes while you're talking can suggest an intimate connection being formed, someone who's a bit too fixed on your face may be trying to figure out what you really mean. They might be looking for a hidden agenda. Of course, nothing beats raised eyebrows to communicate disbelief, and covering the eyes with dark glasses, especially while indoors, is interpreted as a sign of either distress or dishonesty. Looking to the left while answering a question is another sign that someone may be making it up as they go, if not outright lying to you. Looking to the right is a much better bet. It means they're trying to remember something by visualizing it - by replaying it in their mind. When it comes to smiles, the jury seems to be out. A frozen grin is creepy and often means someone's attitude is equally rigid, but frequent smiles, especially when appropriate to the conversation, show that your audience is engaged.
THE BODY The rest of the body tells an equally interesting story. Someone who wants to gain control of a situation will try to be the last person through the door. While in a discussion, if their audience suddenly goes silent, that's usually a bad sign - people are resisting, bored, or maybe even hostile. If their arms are on their hips or crossed, this is likely the case. Arms folded across the chest often means someone is feeling defensive or trying to guard themselves. They might even be angry. Whether or not they'll blow involves a medley of other factors, but if there's any toe-tapping involved, there's an internal countdown going on. Get going before blastoff. Someone who frequently touches their hair or ear when talking to someone else often indicates that they are interested. Touching them frequently while they're talking is a good sign of sexual interest. This next tip is easy, and fun to watch. Next time you're chatting with someone, check out their legs. If they're crossed in your direction, they're into you, big time. Watch the corners of their mouth to tell whether it's what you're saying that's so fascinating (their mouth will be straight), or if what they're really interested in is you (the corners should be upturned, or even smiling). Finally, if someone is genuinely telling the truth and wants to earn your trust, everything, including their eyes, will point the same way. Be sure to look for this one the next time you're entrusting someone with help in an important decision.
remind me to never lie to you...except through text
Sanboy25: Hehe, I don't know, I don't remember the animes that I don't like.... And you, why do you only like Naruto ? Have you tried Fairy Tale ?
naruto's my fav n its what hooked me to animes in the first place..but after watching fairytle....wow! I had to go download 1-175...and about to start reading the manga...its dope!
Sanboy25: No I don't mind at all Cool, what do you like in Naruto ? the art, the story, characters....? who's your favorite ?
the story got me hooked n I started when the art was quite bad(when he was just a brat ) and minato/jiraiya are my favourites...minato's too cool abeg n jiraiya was playing even in front of a monster like pain*like a boss* ...bout u..your fav characters in naruto?
ikekings: Lmao!!! Itachi and orochimaru... These guys are bad to the core... Itachi the guy no dey shake in front of an enemy he acts so cool... I can still remember what he did to kakashi wen he came to the leaf village with that shark guy to kidnap naruto... About the manga I think I will try it once more...
itachi's a boss..so many hax justus for that tiny dude.. *respect*
Sanboy25: Yeah, I can understand that people rather watch Animes of Shounen mangas, because its best for the fighting scenes that are very frequent in those.
Personally, I enjoy the scans because it's EXACTLY what the author wanted to convey to his readers, it's the story in its purest form; it doesn't have fillers ; it seems less childish = more matured ; we have a new chapter every weeks..... Anyway, everyone is entitled to their opinion, all that matters is the fact that it's a MANGA!!
love naruto manga only(the comic that comes out every week)...might borrow a leaf from your book theses days...hope u don't mind
Baybe: I don't need you to believe me. I don't watch po.rn, I don't have a nak.ed pix on my phone or lappy. I don't watch BBA never did, never will. But that doesn't mean you should come here rubbing it on people's faces. Everybody has her own life to live. That you don't watch BBA doesn't mean you are better than those that watch it or more disciplined than them. Gerrit??
let's just agree everyone's holy in their e-life... remove d safety of d phones n lappy...wetin man go see ehn
