No one knows yet Leigh, yet to be announced. Reef Builders considered it a risky marketing ad, that's where Juan and I saw it.

If YOU think you had a bad day:
Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs.
Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister in Ft. Wayne , Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest. Needless to say, she won.
Hi Sue,
Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother.
Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all.
Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wet
suit. This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel-powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which
is taped to the air hose.
Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and ... I've used it several times with no complaints.
What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose
It's like working in a Jacuzzi.
and stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my whole suit with warm water.
Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This
only made things worse. With in a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony, I realized what had happened.
The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate.
When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my butt.
I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear
due to the fact that he, along with five other divers, were all laughing hysterically.
Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry
decompression.
When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet. As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber.
The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two days because my butt was swollen
shut.
So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.

Here are some pictures from my recent vacation to Ocean City Maryland. My favorite was the wild horses of Assateague island. I would highly suggest you go if you get a chance. This Island belongs to the horses not the people. They walk right down on the beach where you are and if you're in their way....Oh well.
We got there just a day and a half after Hurricane Irene hit. Almost thought we would not be able to go.
Dolphin!
Sunrise
Pier
Horseshoe Crab

I have always (primarily) used Microsoft's Internet Explorer for browser - I have recently started using Google Chrome 14 and FireFox 7.0 for browsing RS and got to say I am really Loving both sooooo much more than I.E. and both are sooooooo verrrrrrry much faster.
If you have not tried either & are using I.E. for your browser, give one of them a try, I think you will be very pleasantly surprised. Still trying to decide which I like best of the two... but both are flaming fast compared to I.E.
You can import your favorites & once you setup a few special bookmarks on the toolbar and tweak a few options you are good to go & will Love it - and it will make browsing RS much more enjoyable - Cheers !
