Scuba Forum / General / March 2008Respirocytes
Thought you lot might be interested by this potential technology. Respirocytes will be tiny gas exchange nanomachines. So named, since their initial design was planned to simulate erythrocytes (ie inject into bloodstream and being able to absorb CO2 and give off oxygen). Potential medical uses are huge - think of an antidote to asphyxia, carbon monoxide poisoning etc. So why the relevance to diving? Well, different respirocytes could be designed to mop up nitrogen from the blood rather than carbon dioxide. And that could eliminate the bends and totally transform deep diving. Check out this overview here: http://dev.nsta.org/evwebs/10955/index.html They're only an idea at the moment, but they could have a hell of an impact in a lot of fields. > Thought you lot might be interested by this potential technology. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > They're only an idea at the moment, but they could have a hell of an > impact in a lot of fields.

Funny, one of your fellow right-winger racists here actually denies the connection between smoking and lung cancer. It's "lefties" like me that pushed for surgeon general warnings, banning tobacco advertisements, taxing cigarette sales so high that no one can afford to smoke and giving the proceeds toward child health insurance, eliminating smoke from restaurants and bars and workplaces and just about anywhere else. There are communities in California where you cannot even light up in the street or in your own home if you have shared walls (apartment or condo) or in your own backyard. It's the right-wingers that are paid and delivered by the tobacco companies as usual.

I went to my uncle's funeral in the Ottawa Valley on Saturday, the 9th. He was 81. We just happened to have the biggest dump of snow this year over Saturday night and early Sunday morning. About 12" in that area, and 22" in Ottawa. We were stuck at my parents' place until 15:30 on Sunday, when we finally got plowed out. Made it home Sunday evening to a driveway with the biggest pile of drifted snow I've seen in a long time. Thank god for snowblowers. It reminded me of when my uncle and dad brought me and my cousin to my uncle's cottage, before it was insulated, in the middle of winter -- the parents were worried and worked hard to keep us from freezing to death, but my cousin & I just had a lot of fun. I found out that my uncle had become lucid for a short time and told his kids that he was OK and being taken care of, and not to worry. He wanted them to let him go, and it sounds like it helped them. My cousin said a few words at the church service and that had everyone choking up. No matter how ready you are, it's still a shock. >Got to see a lot of my cousins that I hadn't seen in many years...

No sweat, these parasites are always here looking for a way to be the bully they cant be in real life. Your post was very interesting, and since I am up against the wall here with my Dad (I guess no one ever heard of a son of two fathers), and if they could pull this off and make it work, it could save literally thousands of doomed people. I can see artificial lungs, the ability to save so many lives in so many ways, the implications are staggering if they can actually pull it off. > No sweat, these parasites are always here looking for a way to be the bully > they cant be in real life.

Of course we've heard of a son with two fathers. There's nothing wrong with that, even though the "wisdom" of certain Boards of Education requires school libraries to pull books like "Why Johnnie has Two Daddies" from the shelves. It's a credit to rural hickdom that a son of two fathers could grow up to be such a macho bully. >> No sweat, these parasites are always here looking for a way to be the bull= >y [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >has Two Daddies" from the shelves.

Doesn't matter, this nigger (remember I am slinging it at a white guy) has nothing to offer to anyone, unless you are an illegal alien, then he has a sub standard wage job with no bennies, no medical to offer so he can sell cheap sh.t at the stores he runs. He takes the cheapest of shots, from the cheapest of seats because he is a f.cking punk. If he had enough hair on his a.s to face me I might be able to learn to have the smallest shred of respect for him, but he doesn't, and I don't. > Doesn't matter, this nigger (remember I am slinging it at a white guy) has > nothing to offer to anyone, unless you are an illegal alien, then he has a > sub standard wage job with no bennies, no medical to offer so he can sell > cheap sh.t at the stores he runs. There's the colorful language we love from such a colorful guy. Now that I know your rainbow background, I'm not surprised. BTW, I employ over 40 people, with a total payroll, not counting my salary, of close to $1,000,000/year. All my I-9 forms are accounted for. That makes you a liar, Scott. How many people do you employ and what bennies do you provide them? > He takes the cheapest of shots, from the cheapest of seats because he is a > f.cking punk. My chair cost me almost $500.

I'm here as always, ready to face you whenever you hitchhike down here. But that will never happen. Besides, you've been invited to more than one DWG, with other people volunteering to pay for your airfare because you're not even worthy enough to be able to scrape up the cash for a cheap flight to Florida. But you didn't show. If I ever do earn stoop low enough to earn your "respect", kindly shoot me to put me out of my misery. >> Doesn't matter, this nigger (remember I am slinging it at a white guy) has= > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >If I ever do earn stoop low enough to earn your "respect", kindly >shoot me to put me out of my misery.

On my second gin & tonic in the Honolulu PC, waiting to board to Guam, I've got a nice glow too. We get into Palau around 10 p.m. tonight. Have you been to Palau yet, Scott? No? Didn't think so. But you know what? Who cares. Enjoy your cold water. It's supposed to be 84 degrees underwater with 150'+ viz on the outside reef.

I hope it's not sunk by rising sea level by the time I get there.

You never know. I was talking to a guy on the flight last night that said there was already some reports of flooded islands out here. But it's looking good right now. This afternoon we have kayaking for mandarinfish, which I'm going to try shooting on snorkel with natural light. But gee, you know after Scott's claims that he gets me mad, I might just sit in my hotel room and stew over his mean comments. Yeah, right! After tomorrow we're on the Aggressor, with internet silence for a week. Keep the metooers in line while I'm gone! > > > > "Rod" <log_...@verizonnet.addthedot> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > After tomorrow we're on the Aggressor, with internet silence for a > week. Keep the metooers in line while I'm gone! I know Scott has probably ruined your trip, if not your whole life. I hope a week on the Aggressor in Palau will help. My next couple of weeks will be too busy to worry much about the metooers, so they may just be disappointed, throwing out their bait and catching... nada.

I wish I could at least blame Scott for the stomach ache I've had since the flight, but it's probably the fault of too much free business class booze. We skipped our kayak tour today since we're both exhausted, my stomach hurts, and it was pouring rain on and off all day. I should blame that on Scott too, why not? With all his hot air, he probably did cause the rain! > nada. They can pester that Australian guy while we're busy. It's more fun for them to gang up on one poor soul. > Have a great time! Oh yeah. Stomach is getting better since this morning, so I'm having maitais in the lobby bar while taking advantage of the free wifi. Tomorrow is scuba with the dolphins at Dolphins Pacific, the only captive dolphin program AFAIK that lets you dive with the slimy beasts instead of just snorkeling with 'em. But I'm sure that I'll still be reeling from all of Scott's profane insults so that I won't even be able to enjoy myself. Oh well, at least the dolphins will have a good time! Greg, make sure you and your SO stay away form the morays Enjoy your trip! > Greg, make sure you and your SO stay away form the morays I have a good photo of her with her hand in a dolphin's mouth from yesterday's dive (a tame dolphin, but it still had teeth!), but there are so many other deadly things to poke out here, she'll probably leave the eels alone. (snip)able to enjoy myself. Oh well, at least the dolphins will have a good time! I told you before and I'll tell you again. Quit posting while you are on vacation. Who do you think you are? Reefish?

Yeah, but I've only used it to check for messages so far, since I have to lean over my balcony to get a line of sight to the sky and that's not very comfortable for extended conversation. Wait until I'm safely aboard the Aggressor and then I can call you from a hammock on the sun deck. At least the internet is working again today. It was out all yesterday. I suppose free wifi in the middle of Micronesia is enough of a technological marvel that I should consider myself blessed I'm able to get on at all since, like I said before, what else is there to do? BTW, the dolphin dive was pretty cool, but the bastard dolphin kept kicking up the sand, making my photography a bit challenging. Some beasts have no respect. I bet they kick the corals too. >Yeah, but I've only used it to check for messages so far, since I have >to lean over my balcony to get a line of sight to the sky and that's >not very comfortable for extended conversation.

No, they're probably trained by the dolphin tour organizers to kick up the sand except when the tour organizers are takng picture they want to sell to their guests......... :-) ____________________________________________ Regards, Arnold > >Yeah, but I've only used it to check for messages so far, since I have > >to lean over my balcony to get a line of sight to the sky and that's [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Where are you located (is it close to where I was)??? Nope. We're a little walk away from the main building, past the dive shop, all the way to the 10 building. Actually that's where I stayed on my fam trip in 2003, but we were downstairs then. > >At least the internet is working again today. It was out all > >yesterday.

No problem, since it worked when I needed it for business. Rec.scuba is fun and all, but I really needed the internet for some bank transfers to prevent bouncing checks while I'm on the boat, and it fortunately came through. > >BTW, the dolphin dive was pretty cool, but the bastard dolphin kept > >kicking up the sand, making my photography a bit challenging. Some [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > sand except when the tour organizers are takng picture they want to sell > to their guests......... :-) Yeah, the bit about not letting the guests have cameras while you get your dolphin kiss so they can charge you $15 for a picture was a bit annoying, but we paid anyway. Anyway, the hotel is pretty much as I remembered it except for two details: first, the pool underwent a major remodel from a motel-like uninviting waterhole to a beautiful horizon resort pool - that's a nice touch; second were the room toilets - the first time I've used a toilet that also wanted to wash and blow dry my butt! We're off in a half-hour, back in a week. "See" you then. >> >Yeah, but I've only used it to check for messages so far, since I have >> >to lean over my balcony to get a line of sight to the sky and that's [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >shop, all the way to the 10 building.

Talk about a "bronze statue" goddess!! 8-) The 10 building is past the dock, quite a hike in the humidity there. We ended up in the 600 building for our "day room" on the way back, a garden view room overlooking the fish pond. Enjoyed the shorter walk when lugging laptop to the lobby, but it still wasn't close enough to access wifi from the room. Quite a few cute DMs from Neco Marine too, I discovered on the last night of the Aggressor trip when we disembarked for dinner and drinks at Kramer's. They ranged from very cute to stunning. The dive manager there who hires them is a somewhat recently divorced male. Imagine that. > And you've been to Japan???? Those toilets are all over the place in hotels, > etc. Lucky for you you didn't get an "Asian Squat" variety facility!!! << evil grin >> Never been to Japan. Not sure I want to. When I was in Chuuk in 2002, I had to take a piss during our tour of Xavier High School and was pointed over to the outside restroom. The kids there were laughing at me when I went in, thinking I was going to have issues with the toilet which was basically just a hole in the ground, no TP or other place to wash. Since peeing in a hole in the ground isn't an issue for me, I didn't care a whit.

Well, not to gross out the group, but in many places in Asia, especially in "non-Westernized" private homes etc., TP is often non-existent. Instead, there is a bucket of water and a scoop. Westerners must literally carry their own TP as a "survival" matter. Even where there are Western Style facilities, one cannot place any form of paper in the system as it will cause major clogging damage. There is usually a small trash can nearby (Chile was one such place). Those "wash and blow dry" seats are lookin' better now eh??? :-) ____________________________________________ Regards, Arnold (snip)> > This particular one worked for the PPR's on site dive shop, Splash Tours.
