MLC Men Lose at Buena Vista
STORM LAKE, Iowa - The Martin Luther College men's basketball team started slowly and couldn't turn things around in a 108-55 loss at Buena Vista Tuesday.
The Beavers started the game on a 19-2 run, and took a 51-22 halftime edge before running away in the second half.
The Knights were unable to slow down the BVU attack, as the Beavers shot 58 percent from the field and committed only eight turnovers in the game. The Knights struggled offensively, committing 18 turnovers and shooting 29 percent from the field.
Luke Rothe led MLC with 15 points, while Galen Holzhueter joined him in double figures with 13 points. Todd Brassow grabbed a team-best eight rebounds to go with his six points.
MLC fell to 0-4 on the season with the loss, while Buena Vista evened its record at 3-3 with the win.
The Knights will return to action on Friday, December 6, when they host Wartburg in a game scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.

My how we all have come to think we know everything about everything. With constant Internet access, we are simply the smartest person in the room all the time. Just ask the new-style news people who not only report the news, but render an opinion. When did that become a good idea? Are we for real or just posers? An awful lot of us seem to be full of answers but what do we really DO? What do we really …

Windows Live Messenger 2012 16.4.3508.0205
Windows Live Messenger remains an important player on the market and the new generation MSN Messenger follows the same trend as its competitors to include all kinds of communication features, such as video chatting, file transfer and phone calling.
Connect with users of different services
An important step towards unifying the means of online communication has been made and Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger are now interconnected. This allows users of the two to chat no matter the application they're using.
Unlike Yahoo's software though, Microsoft's displays the webcam right into the conversation window, thus allowing users to enjoy a better chatting experience. During our test, this camera-related feature worked flawlessly.
Another useful characteristic of this application is the ability to link other services you use, like Facebook, LinkedIn or MySpace. This way, anyone can check out new posts from their friends within the same interface.
Easily show your favorite pictures to friends
Sharing photos and other files is now easier with the new Windows Live Messenger. Users can easily create so-called 'Sharing Folders' and use them for sending files to somebody else via the popular drag-and-drop method.
The interface remains friendly and intuitive and users shouldn't encounter too many problems browsing through menus and settings. Advertisement banners are, nonetheless, shown at the bottom of the main window and, unfortunately, there's no way to get rid of them.
In conclusion
All things considered, it's safe to say that Windows Live Messenger is an easy to use application to chat over the Internet that does exactly what the name suggests and packs advanced features under a pleasant interface.

critical of public education floods conservative and libertarian
websites. In a recent article, I gave educators a chance to speak
for themselves, in a sense, by providing information that public
university education departments present to the public and to prospective
students. I also related my own classroom experiences with education
specialists. Articles by Thomas Sowell and others, and by me, tend
to relate such facts as they are understood by those of us outside
the profession. While this is necessary, missing from the usual
fare is a study how things appear from the inside. Here, then, are
some problems with public education as experienced by teachers in
public schools:
public schoolteacher faces two primary obstacles to educating students:
social promotion policies and uninvolved parents. In Alabama, for
example, a student is to be promoted if he fails "only"
math or reading and one other course. Thus, a student who can get
(mostly) passing grades in math and other subjects, but is known
to the teacher to be unable to read, must be promoted. The teacher
has no choice in this. A result of such policies is that regardless
of whether a given teacher derives immense satisfaction from successfully
educating students, a sixth-grade teacher who inherits a student
who cannot read is almost hopelessly hamstrung. (To be fair, Alabama
is trying to reform their social-promotion policies right now.)
for uninvolved parents, what is there to say? There is no excuse:
While 74% of impoverished households ("impoverished" per
government classification) in the United States own VCRs, and the
average new VCR sells for around $140, the average children's book
at a garage sale goes for about 25 cents. I have friends who troll
garage sales finding books for their toddlers, so I know it can
be done. Combine this with two other data: Reading is the most important
learning skill at any age; and the typical improverished child shows
up for first grade unable to read. While many critics, myself included,
like to find fault in government nannying – and there is plenty of
government fault to find – parents must share responsibility.
outside Alabama face other obstacles, among them lack of administrative
support for discipline and forced inculcation of statist politics
and permissive – sometimes deviant – moral codes that many teachers
find repugnant. While teachers around the nation tend to enjoy guaranteed
job tenure divorced from quality of performance, a condition unheard
of anywhere outside the profession, teachers tell me that opposing
the school system's official moral or political stance is almost
the only thing a teacher can do to get fired.
teachers face unique obstacles just to get hired in the first place.
They endure being taught psychological education theories that are
often no more than politically correct psychobabble; they must satisfy
their professors that they "understand and are sufficiently
committed to" the profession, according to some public university
catalogs (which can mean whatever the professors want it to mean – usually
that the student is sufficiently liberal); and they must have the
proper degree from an approved institution. Further, they have to
remember the psychobabble long enough to reproduce it on a certification
exam. Unless they leap all these hurdles, they don't get a job.
The end result of this process, of course, is well documented: The
strongest students usually get disgusted early and flee from education
programs, leaving behind the ones generally most susceptible to
the psychobabble and weakest with regard to the subject matter they'll
be teaching.
there are intelligent public schoolteachers, and many of those wish
they could do more, such as changing policies, to make public education
effective. So far, I have been speaking in left-handed defense of
the teachers, but there is more to be said even when seeing things
from their perspective. Most startling is that in many states, 40%
and more of public schoolteachers send their own children to private
schools. This shows these teachers are fully aware of the failure
of public schools, more so because private schools cost money and
public schoolteachers usually are not highly paid.
even taking into account the factors making it difficult for them
to do their jobs well, public schoolteachers must bear significant
moral culpability: If 40% of the teachers in a state or county system
were unified and vocal in their resistance to the most damaging
policies, they could not help but have an effect. If 40% or more
of the teachers in a given district let it be known that they would
not vote the teachers' union party line in local elections, there
would be change. But don't hold your breath waiting for that to
long as teachers face all these obstacles, and as long as the informed
and conscientious ones abdicate their responsibility to improve
the system, the solution for those of us who care remains the same:
school your children.

About me and my passion for cars
Hey i'm a 24 year old chick living in Hawaii, originally I am from Germany where my Dad got me into cars. He used to race when he was my age, and still has his passion showing with his everyday rides. Germany made me a great driver, the open roads and no speed limits on the Autobahn gave me a lot of practice :)Up untill now I wasn't able to get a decent car but was able to finally get one just recently when hubby and I decided to get my 04 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V. I love it! Now just gotta drive and enjoy!
My first car
1998 VW Beetle, i drove it to the ground pretending it was a sportscar haha, it was a manual too
Car I wish I still had

Hi my name is Albert :) I'm 43 years young. I wakeboard, go running/walking & started bar-work at parks (not alcohol related, hahaha). I like to do bag work & re-started using my home equipment, enjoy hitting up the skateparks with my son and surfing occasionally when I have the opportunity. I've done 5 different styles of martial arts over the years and started boxing at age 5 with my dad. Right now I'm really into getting my self into shape to put some serious time into martial arts and boxing again. I'm loving TribeSports and all the great and wonderful people here with such positive and motivating attitudes!

She is also the author of the book, "Mirror Mirror…Am I Beautiful, Looking Deeper to Find Your True Beauty" and has co-authored a book with her husband CJ, "Forgiveness Formula: Finding Lasting Freedom in Christ."
Shelley's openness and vulnerability as she shares her own story of hope and healing will inspire and encourage you.
Shelley Hitz has been ministering to teens since 1998 alongside her husband, C.J. They currently travel and speak to teens around the country. Shelley's main passion is to share God's truth and the freedom in Christ she has found with others. She does this through her website and through her speaking engagements.

What People Are Saying…
|Thank You Shelley! After I saw you at the Jr. High Convention recently things have gotten so much better in my life. I stopped wearing all kinds of black and depressing clothing to fit in with certain people.I also needed to hear your story of what you did in 8th grade and how much you regretted it or else I probably would have done the same thing (compromise sexually).I was going to church before I saw you butnow I really listen to what my preacher is saying and I've told some of my friends about your site and they love it! Anyway I would just like to THANK YOU again for what you have shown me andwith any luck you may help some of my friends get saved!~Georgia, student

Seminar Descriptions for Shelley Hitz
Not sure what topic would work best for your group? Read the various seminar descriptions for Shelley Hitz below. If you have another topic you'd like her to speak on, let her know!
1. Find Your True Beauty
Did you know that 24% of women would sacrifice 3 years of their life to be thin, that girls as young as five have expressed fears of getting fat and 90% of high school junior and senior girls diet regularly even though only between 10-15% are considered overweight.
Does this surprise you? Do you wonder why this is happening? I believe one of the biggest influences on girls today regarding beauty is the media. Using powerful videos and PowerPoint slides, Shelley Hitz will help expose the lies girls believe about their beauty and the steps to become free…helping you find your true beauty!
2. Shopping, Fashion, Modesty
In our culture today, anything goes when it comes to fashion. The world's philosophy is "if you got it, flaunt it." However, Shelley shares a powerful message for girls challenging them to honor God with the clothes they wear. She approaches a difficult topic with grace and real solutions. Meet the "Accidental Immodesty" girls and be prepared to be challenged to honor God with your fashion choices.
This presentation can be adapted for younger girls (4th and 5th grade) as well as teenagers and women. Plan on having a fashion show event the week after Shelley's talk if appropriate for your setting. Have each participant choose one outfit from their closet to model that is honoring to God, applying the modesty tips and guidelines they learned in the presentation.
3. Empty or Full?
So many times we feel that aching loneliness deep inside. We ask questions like, "Is there more?" "Is this all there is?" Shelley shares from personal experience how to find true satisfaction, healing and freedom in Christ.
4. Healing the Broken Hearted

Want to Know More?
Here are a few more interesting tidbits about Shelley…
Favorite Color? Red (the current color of our car!)
Favorite Food? Mexican. But, I have to say, I still love a good pizza and chocolate!
Favorite Hobby? Hiking in the mountains (I enjoy most outdoor recreational activities), traveling to new places, reading, playing with my nieces. I also love music and enjoy singing (although I don't do solos!). By the way, if you asked my husband, C.J., he might say talking on the phone is one of my hobbies
Favorite Movie? One Night With the King
Favorite Bands? Superchick, Rebecca St. James, Krystal Meyers, Jeremy Camp (What can I say….for the most part I tend to be partial to girls).
Favorite Sports Teams? Ohio State Buckeyes. Go Bucks!
Favorite place to visit? Ummmm….I have too many, but I love going out west in the mountains or to the beach. What beautiful scenery from our Creator.
Favorite Vacation spot? Caye Caulker, Belize.
Favorite Drink(s)? Water is definitely #1. But, I still love a good cup of coffee, esp. in the mornings.
What kind of car do you drive? 2006 Chevy Aveo.
Play any sports? Volleyball, tennis, golf (best ball with my dad and hubby), disc golf.
Are you married, and do you have kids? Yes, I have one awesome man – C.J. (1998), no kids yet….just a dog.
Any Pets? Not currently. God blessed us with a Dacshund (wiener dog) named Penny for several years.
What's the most difficult thing you've ever done? I would have to say that one of the hardest things I've ever done is hiking to the summit of the South Sister Mountain in Oregon with C.J. in the summer of 2007. I thought I was crazy when I agreed to do this with him because once we got past 9,000 ft. elevation I had to stop every 5-10 steps to catch my breath! But, the view at 10,358 ft. was worth that long and difficult hike. We were able to see 10 other mountains from the top. Plus, it was a great feeling of accomplishment…even though I got blisters and my worst sunburn ever!
Most Embarrassing moment? Showing up to high school with two different shoes on. I was trying them both on to see which one looked better with my outfit and in my rush to get out the door forgot I never decided which ones were best!
On a day off, what would be the ultimate day off? Warm secluded beach with only my husband and a good book.
Your heroes? Mother Theresa, my mom, my Savior
The True Low Down on Shelley?
- I face the same struggles you do
- I'm a recovering shopaholic
- I've traveled to Europe (mostly France & Italy), Africa, Mexico, Ecuador, Belize, Guatemala and would love to visit every continent before I die
- My ultimate passion is to share the freedom and love I've found in Jesus with others, esp. teen girls….just like one beggar telling another where to find food.

Marriott Rewards® Premier Credit Card Review
Similar to all tailored credit cards, the Marriott Rewards® Premier card provides rewards and benefits to cardholders who stay at Marriott hotels. Those who have no interest in redeeming points for free stays at Marriott hotels should mark this card off their list, but for any Marriott hotel regulars, you won't find a better travel rewards credit card. Apply Here
The Good
Major signup bonus:
Immediately once you sign up, you are offered a bonus of 50,000 points after spending $1,000 during your first three months. This offer is unmatched by any other travel credit card available.
Free one-night stay:
The Marriott Rewards® Premier card offers multiple opportunities for you to earn a one-night free stay at a Marriott hotel. As a brand new cardholder, you get one free night at a Marriott hotel. Afterwards, there is an anniversary bonus of one free night at any category 1-5 hotel each year. So not only are you earning reward points, but the Marriott Rewards® Premier card offers complimentary one-night stays to show their appreciation of their loyal customers.
Rewards opportunities everywhere:
There are endless opportunities offered by the Marriott Rewards® Premier card to earn points wherever and for whatever you purchase. From any of the Marriott locations (over 3,600), you will receive five points per dollar spent. Airline tickets, restaurants, and car rentals will earn you two points per dollar spent. Any other purchases will automatically earn one point for every dollar you spend if it doesn't land on the categories above. In addition to all that, there is no maximum limit on your point accumulation, which allows you flexibility in how you manage your rewards.
Elite membership offers:
Even with all the rewards made available by the Marriott Rewards® Premier card, there are still more opportunities as an Elite member to gain more bonus points based upon your Elite status level. Every year after the anniversary of your account, 15 nights credit will be given to you as well as the opportunity to earn one night toward Elite status for every $3,000 you spend. Similar to points rewards, there is no limitation on the number of nights you can accumulate.
The Bad
High annual fee:
Besides the specialized nature of the Marriott Rewards® card, the only other negative is the annual fee of $85, which is fairly high for a credit card. However, for the first year, the Marriott Rewards® Premier card requires no annual fee.
High default penalty APR:
In comparison to other travel credit cards, the Marriott Rewards® Premier card requires the highest default penalty APR of 29.99%. This can be very dangerous if you are the type to occasionally miss payment due dates, exceed your credit limit, and/or make payments that are returned unpaid.
The Details
- Offers Companion Reward - The airline credit card offers a companion airfare reward.
- Additional 2:1 Rewards Categories - The credit card offers 2:1 rewards or more for at least one additional purchase category - like dining, travel, gas, groceries, shopping, or other.
- Bonus Points Offered - The credit card offers bonus points you can earn throughout the year.
- No Blackout Dates - There are no blackout travel dates for your points, miles, or cash back rewards.
- No Expiration - Your rewards points, miles, or cash back rewards will never expire.
- Sign-Up Bonus - The credit card offers a sign-up bonus reward.
- Unlimited Rewards - You can accumulate an unlimited amount of points, miles, or cash back rewards with your credit card.
- 2:1 Rewards or More - The credit card offers 2 Points, 2% Cash Back, or 2 Miles or more for every dollar spent.

Long before he and his wife Beth joined Oceana's Ocean Council, Dan Cort was a fish. Figuratively speaking, of course. "I'm a water guy," Cort said. Growing up in San Francisco, he was a competitive swimmer, and even raced against Olympian Mark Spitz at a swim meet.
Now a certified diver, he tries to get in the water when he can, but as Pacific Grove's mayor and the CEO of his own business, he doesn't have much time for playing in the waves.
"I know this sounds crazy, but I'm someone that feels at home in the water and really wants to protect it," Dan Cort said. "The oceans are 71 percent of the planet, and we've done a lousy job taking care of them, so I just felt obligated and committed to do this kind of work."
Cort is especially concerned about industrial fishing.
"Andy Sharpless and Jim Ayers are leaders in the protection of our fisheries," he said. "One of the things that is most important for me is the intensity with which they apply their creative and political energies to protect thousands of miles of ocean from industrial fishing."
Cort and his wife of 18 years, Beth, are partners in a real estate business. The Corts started Trees for Pacific Grove, a volunteer-based organization which has raised $20,000 and replanted 2,000 trees in the city's urban forest. And as mayor of Pacific Grove, Cort co-founded Sustainable Pacific Grove, a local environmental action group which developed a green cleaning products program and a ban on Styrofoam.

Lenovo teases you with their oversexed IT workers
Who ever said having a dual-screen laptop that looks like a tank wouldn't get you a little strange? Lenovo seems to think so and is saying as much in what amounts to some sort of internal test advertisement for the W700ds, a dual-screen laptop so massive that it should just be called a desktop PC. Read More
Lenovo announces all-in-one PC, plus new thin-and-light laptop line
Lenovo opened the floodgates today, announcing a new All-in-One desktop — the IdeaCentre A600 — and three new laptops: the Y650 (a 16-inch thin-and-light), the Y550, and the Y450. The company also announced updated social networking software, plus a few other extras for the already-available IdeaPad S10 netbook. Read More
The Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds's dual screens gets demo'd
Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds broke cover over the weekend, there are so many questions on how it will work. This quick, 10-sec video does shed some light on how the action will take place. It seems that the second screen simply slides-out behind the main screen. Hopefully it works well. Video after the jump. Read More
Lenovo DS: new laptop sports two screens
This really doesn't look like something that will catch on, but it's certainly momentous. The Lenovo W700DS has one 17-inch display like its predecessor, and another 10-inch one that slides out from behind. Madness, you say? Yeah, I agree. Read More
Lenovo releases IdeaPad S9 netbook
Look at that little cat! It's on the screen of the Lenovo IdeaPad S9, the little bro-ham to the Lenovo IdeaPad S10. The S10 has a 10.2-inch screen and runs Windows, while the S9 has an 8.9-inch screen and runs Linpus Linux Lite. The S9 is available for $344.99 at Geeks.com or $359.46 at Buy.com. That, or you could just order the S10 with the bigger screen and Windows starting at $349… Read More
The Lenovo+China Mobile OPhone sure does look familiar
First there was the iPhone, then came a bunch of stuff no one cared about. Now we have what appears to be the OPhone, a cellphone developed by Lenovo in conjunction with China Mobile. It's using Android as its operating system, a move that took a great deal of bravery for China Mobile to accept. (Apparently the firm doesn't like the idea of relying on outside technologies for… Read More
Lenovo introduces Quick Start-powered S10e netbook for the eduction market
Some suit in a Lenovo boardroom had a great idea that if the company slaps the letter 'e' onto the S10 netbook name, the world would be a better place. The S10e is therefore geared to the education crowd, touting the same exact specs of the original S10 netbook of an Intel 1.6GHz Atom processor, 4GB SSD or 160GB HDD, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a 10.1 LCD display, but now comes equipped… Read More
Lenovo, Acer, and Toshiba all rocking the WiMAX in their lappies
Oh my! Three of the biggest laptop makers out there all announcing 4G/WiMAX/XOHM service. All on the same day, too. It's almost as if it was planned. Acer has it in their big ones, Toshiba has it in their little ones, and Lenovo has it in just about their entire line. Boy, with all these laptops sucking up the signal, they might want to put those WiMAX points on higher ground! Read More
Lenovo to roll up Fujitsu/Siemens consumer PC business?
In one of these multi-part shuffles that characterize high-level business dealings, it looks as if Lenovo is going to be taking over the consumer PC part of the Fujitsu/Siemens joint venture. It seems Siemens has had enough and is selling its part to Fujitsu, and Fujitsu (not really loving the "end-user" market) will spin off that part of its PC business and sell it to whoever. Read More
Lenovo: Six new low-power, enviro-friendly monitors
Lenovo's got six new LCD monitors to add to its ThinkVision line. Each uses 30-60 percent less energy than ThinkVision LCDs from the past and some of the packaging uses 65 percent recycled materials. Read More

Lenovo missing promised IdeaPad S10 ship dates?
Liliputing is reporting that Lenovo has missed the September 9th ship date they were promised and has changed the new ship date to November 18th. I know a few of you here have ordered these machines and were given ship dates of September 9th as well. Has your ship date changed? Lenovo originally promised the S10 in early October, so the September 9th ship date seemed mighty early. Now… Read More
Lenovo has no interest in Dell's factories
Lenovo's CEO William Amelio told reporters earlier today that his company had no interest in purchasing Dell's factories. Makes sense considering Dell sold them to cut costs. Amelio went on to say that Lenovo was content with their capacity and that the global economy's weakness would lead to less spending by tech companies. So that's that. Read More
Lenovo releases new ThinkCentre A62 desktop
The A62 is a fairly staid ThinkCentre desktop that should sell for about $399 in September. It runs an AMD 15w CPU, the Athlon 2650e, on select models and is aimed at businesses trying to reduce their energy bills or, dare we say it, go green. It includes all of IBM's fleet add-ons like Express Repair, Dash 1.1 remote trouble shooting, and ThinkVantage for hardware maintenance. Read More
Lenovo X200 tablet gets official, sort of [Update]
All the specs were leaked earlier in the month and it was just a matter of time before the FCC divulged the rumored tablet from Lenovo. Well, the wait is no more as the X200T is now in the FCC database. The FCC filing shows that the X200T will come with UWB, so I wonder if those supposed specs from earlier are real? It shouldn't be too long before Lenovo officially announces it. Update… Read More
Lenovo gives tiny X300 line a bump with the X301
Lenovo recently announced the ThinkPad X301, the next in line for the X300 line. Surely you remember the X300, Lenovo's answer to the MacBook Air. Well the X301 seems to be stuffed in the same less-than-three-pound shell, but the delicious candy inside has changed a little bit. For starters, you can get the X301 with a 64GB or 128GB solid state drive (available in September). Read More
Lenovo's new GPS handset, the P990
Did you know that Lenovo makes phones? We don't hear about'em very often on this side of the Pacific, but it turns out that they actually have a whole friggin' lot of'em. The newest addition is the Lenovo P990, a dual-band GMS/GPRS phone being offered over in China. Find out all about it over at Mobilecrunch >> Read More
Lenovo unveils behemoth mobile workstation, W700
When I think about mobile workstations, I immediately think of my MacBook Pro and after seeing the Lenovo W700 in-person two weeks ago, I can say without a doubt that the MBP is no mobile workstation. For one thing, the W700 weighs a ton. Exact weight on the 17-inch laptop is unknown (read: I forgot), but it's not that heavy. However, it does come with its own customized laptop bag… Read More
Lenovo's X200 tablet PC gets spec'd
Although I'm sure that it will be blown out of the water by the $200 tablet PC Mike wants to build, in the absence of any actual competitor from that sector this X200 looks pretty nice. It's got a nice laptop-oriented Core2 with a fast FSB, 2 gigs of DDR3 RAM standard, a 12.1″ screen at 1280×800, 3xUSB, express, and card reader slots. Like its predecessors it has a… Read More
Lenovo S10 unveiled, caught on video
In the latest string of netbook offerings comes Lenovo with the S10. The LED-backlit 10.2-inch screen netbook is small, but doesn't skimp on the features. The keyboard might be cramped for some because it's been reduced in size by 15 percent, but what would a netbook be without a couple caveats. The S10 will come with Windows XP (for reals, Yay!), two USB ports, a 4-in-1… Read More

Clinical Trials and Research Study Opportunities
Research Team
Why Participate?
OHSU Women's
Health Research Unit
503 494-3666
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus. They affect between 25 and 40% of women of reproductive age. Women can experience a variety of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids including heavy menstrual bleeding, anemia,
menstrual pain, pelvic pain or pressure, and infertility.
The Women's Health Research Unit at OHSU is currently recruiting for a national clinical research study evaluating an investigational drug that may help reduce symptoms of uterine fibroids (eIRB #7812). Uterine fibroids are the leading
cause of the more than 200,000 hysterectomies performed annually in the United States. Aside from surgery, a long-term treatment for fibroids is not currently available. Finding a medical treatment (medication) that can be used long term
and that can help to reduce the symptoms of fibroids without surgery would be a major breakthrough and be beneficial to many women.
If you are a pre-menopausal woman that is at least 20 years old, have been told or suspect you may have uterine fibroids, and have heavy bleeding during your periods, you may be eligible for study participation. Please call our
confidential recruitment line at 503-494-3666 to find out whether you may qualify for this study. Participants in this up to nine month long study will receive exams, blood tests, ultrasounds and study medication at no
cost. Participants also may be eligible for up to $900 compensation for time and travel. Participants have a 33% chance of receiving placebo.
If you are affected by uterine fibroids and heavy bleeding, or you know someone who is, please call 503-494-3666 for more information.

What's in the box: Tank, Refill adapter, Holster, Safety Leash
Do you dive with Nitrox? If so this is the SPARE AIR for you. It is the perfect addition to your nitrox System, with quick and easy refills from your own nitrox SCUBA tank Having a safety back-up air supply has many advantages over a standard alternateair source. The most obvious is that it is a separate air supply and allows self rescue in an emergency out of air situation. We are taught to stay with our buddy so that in case of an emergency they are right there ready to help us. Next time you make a dive count the times your buddy is further then arms length from you. You will be surprised that they are much further away more often then you may think. Spare-Air gives you a major advantage over an alternate air source when an emergency arises. Having something to breathe from while you are swimming to your buddy, and then, getting their attention while they have their head in a hole watching a lobster can take several breaths or more of air. Tested and approved, Spare Air is a totally self-contained (3.0 cu. ft. of air),refillable backup air system that's small and easy to use. It was designed to get you to the surface in the event of an emergency; yet, it is small enough to not even know you are wearing it! Spare Air is easy to use and maintain, just put it in your mouth and breathe. Kit includes easy refill adapter so you can fill directly off your own Scuba cylinder. So give yourself that extra edge of safety with Spare Air.
Easy to travel with!!
Easy to wear!
Easy to refill!
Easy to hand off to a fellow diver in trouble!
This product has a limited warranty of 12 months.
