OK, a few comments. UP described some Hooverish behavior, but didn't give any empirical evidence of exactly how high a SAC or RMV needs to be to be a fully qualified Hoover. So, here's my proposal for a strict definition. A Hoover will suck a AL80 to less than 1000PSI in under 15 minutes...

I think many people today equate casual with unkempt. To me, "casual" means khakis, nice shorts or new jeans with a short sleeved shirt and topsiders or loafers. I still leave the house clean and groomed. Anything less and I don't expect to get much respect if I were to go into a place of...

So, I'm travelling to a far away country and decide that fins are too big and bulky to take with me. I arrange to rent wetsuit, weight and fins from operator who says, "sure, we got everything you need." Wetsuit is OK, but fins available are only L, not XL. Straps are crappy and foot box is...

This Saturday, about three in the afternoon. Went to ScubaToys. Looked around and decided the only thing I needed was some spring straps for my fins. Yay, I'm getting out for $50. Me: So, I guess it's going to be a long time before you get any PST tanks? Larry: Actually we got some...

I am going to visit my father in Okinawa and may try to get in a few dives while I am there. What's the water temperature this time of year? Can I dive there in a 1mm? Any suggestions for nice dives? Thank, Andy

Dennis, I had lasik 4 years ago when I turned 40. I was previously nearsighted. You should think about what you mean by close up vision and how long you will need to be looking at something close. Small print 8/10pt in good office light. I can read this, but if I'm reading a lot of it...

If the crew on the Titanic had only had some extra backplates, they could have repaired the hull and the ship would not have sank. A large wing filled with helium which is NOT flammable could have been used to float the Hindenberg thus avoiding yet another transportation disaster. Another...

1) Don't feed sharks by offering fish clenched between your teeth.

I am left handed and can reach it easily with my left hand, but it can be drawn right handed also without difficulty.

I've got mounting points for cutting devices on my right chest strap and both pockets. I usually carry a knife on the right strap and shears on the left pocket. If the location bans knives, I'll move the shears up to my strap and lose the knife.

Greasy breakfast sandwiches flavored with diesel exhaust could make anyone puke, even on dry land! I'm talking about the dramamine poppin', wrist bead wearing hard cases. Some of them even insist on taking cruises.

Isn't being seasick every time you go out on a boat nature's way of telling you to take up rock climbing or dodgeball as a sport? I'm continually reading about all the puking that takes place on scuba excursion boats and many people admit to doing it again and again. You were either meant to...

I was thinking about getting a 3mm shorty and wearing it over my 1mm jumpsuit. This would give me the equivalent of 4/1. Has anybody tried this? I've not spent any time in water below 75°F, so I'm not sure how to figure out what I would need. I want to try diving at Aquarena since Lake...

I've had a Seamaster Pro for about 6 years. I wear it all the time except the watchmakers warned me not to wear it in hot tubs or saunas after it fogged once. Apparently, it is water resistant, but not steam resistant. (This is true of all water resistant watches) I've been to 75ft with it which...

How thick a wetsuit do you need to dive there comfortably?

No I said most mfgs are selling straight to the retailer, (cutting out the wholesaler) not to the consumer. Although in many other industries, mfgs are even bypassing the retailer and selling directly to the consumer. I have personally purchased a variety of quality, US made products directly...

This was similar to what happened to me. I imported a D3 .SDL from SDM 1.6. Once the SQL error dialogs start popping, there is no way to get rid of them, the more you click OK, the more they stack up.

According to copyright laws in the US and most EU countries, ALL photos are copyrighted the second the photographer snaps the shutter. I would assume that posting on a web site implies permission to download to a local computer for viewing since that's how web browsers work. But any other use...

As Ron points out, the savings have not been passed on to the consumer. Suppose we had a garment that used to be made in the US and it had $10 of material and took an hour to assemble. A US worker might have made $7-8/hr which would make the company's burden about $10/hr if they were...
