Seems to be some unusual stuff floating around on the Internet today.
New Delhi: The Aghoris are a Shaivite Hindu sect, mostly composed of ascetic sadhus.
They are, for instance, known to engage in post-mortem ritual.
They also often dwell in cremation grounds, have been witnessed smearing cremation ashes on their bodies, and have been known to use bones from human corpses for crafting skull bowls (which Shiva and other Hindu deities are often iconically depicted holding or using) and jewellery.
Aghoris have have their own style of worshipping which is very secretive.
They are very simple and intuitive.
They have fair expressions for everything and don’t have any feeling of discrimination in their minds.
Strangely they like eating rotten flesh of any being just like they enjoy any other cooked meal.
When they like someone, get happy with someone, they give them everything.

Super Dave Oz-born.
He does the Bandaloop routines free-solo and New Dawn is just a yawn.

neebee, I doubt that in the Caldecott's construction that there were problems of an atmospheric nature, such as "the bends." This malady involves increased nitrogen gas levels in the blood which need to be adjusted slowly back to surface pressure after the body has been at prolonged depths before "re-entry" into normal pressures.
Scuba divers need to "decompress" in a chamber which reduces pressure gradually when or if they cannot do it as they rise to the surface.
Sierra Ledge Rat, who is an experienced diver and a physician, would know most all there is about the procedure. I know of it only by having read two of Clive Cussler's books just this past couple of weeks.
The Caldecott's bores are probably a few hundred feet ABOVE sea level, you see.
"Sand hogs" are the tunnel workers who must go for most of their shift down below sea level in places like NYC and Boston. Although these don't seem like such great depths, the human body doesn't react at all well when exposed for nearly eight hours to depth pressures.
There are "sand hogs" on every golf course, too. Boomer, my dad, played a regular game of golf with three other fellows for decades on Wednesday, and he always cringed when paired with one of the three, because he just could not manage his game in sand traps and his scores showed this pattern. On the plus side, he could putt well, probably better than Boomer, truth be told.

There were others who saw this, but were on their way to work and don't have cell phones or I'm sure it would have been reported a bit earlier.

NO nitrogen bubbles here.
During a recent meeting between HPWREN Principal Investigator Hans-Werner Braun and CDF Captain Steve Shoemaker at the Helitack base at Gillespie Field, collaborations regarding data networking technology for both the station and the aircraft were discussed.
Apparently Der Herr has been moonlighting. You'd think with his penchant for accuracy he'd demand a correction of Han- to Herr, wouldn't you?
That's the High Performance Research and Education Netwrok.
HPWREN PI Werner Braun is ready for the flight. CDF rules require wearing fire protecting Nomex clothing and a flight helmet.
Feel free to fast foward through. It's kind of like watching the grass grow only worse. You'd think these scientists would have heard about time-lapse compression.

This is apparently now The Smoke, a new thread.
Nice little flare-up the last two or so minutes.
Fireweed in your lawn?
Call Herr Werner Braun.

Gene, the ride to Fresburg collapsed, I have another appt. for pre-op shite in about two weeks.
Vern failed to meet me on the second, didn't call, and when I called him that night, he said his alarm failed, there is a hole in one of his tires (same ones that were on the Red Roadent when I sold it to him.)
He's not the type of friend I need, so I'm not giving them any more chances to screw me over. They owe me lots on the car still, and this month I've not received the half payment they have been making for most of last year, nor has Vern contacted me about it.
I'm damned pissed and looking to repo the car soon.
I'm hanging in there with the twinges, but the coughing is bad and I can't see me going anyplace or doing anything strenuous at all till this is fixed.
I'm a homebody and taking it real real slow.
You know, watching the Dawn Wall epic has not been high on my agenda, because?
1. I figured they would make it if the weather held and there were no injuries.
2. I'm so out of it physically that I can't even imagine my making it up a "dead 5.0" at this point and watching them do such extreme things really twists me.
But I feel a lot of pride in these California Natives who are so "attached" to their project. And I can't believe that it's been 46 yrs. since I watched Warren and Dean climb over the rim to all the hoopla.
Here is a very good link from the Fresburg station about the shebang. Interviews with Tommy's lady, Kevin's dad, and their pal Alex Honnold.

zBrown, this link may answer your questions pretty well.^^^
