Whats a Gumby Suit? Video

You have likely heard about the oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico this morning. The rig has 13 workers on it, who all jumped into the seas once the explosion occurred. All 13 of them were rescued by the Coast Guard within a rather short period of time.

The training of the crew on the Mariner Energy oil rig is being applauded today, as all 13 of the survivors are said to have put on gumby suits before leaping into the seas. Gumby suits are a type of survival suit worn on the seas. The suit is usually bright orange or red, and keeps the water out, sort of like a dry suit. The gumby suit, will also have several air bubbles in it to act as a flotation device, and usually is constructed of fire-retardant neoprene, with reflective strips on the arms, legs and head of the suit.

Although the suits may not have meant the difference between life or death today, it certainly shows that the crew on the rig were well prepared and trained for emergency situations.

Hydroxic Acid

Hydroxic Acid, Future launch site to update information related to water, proudly begins its inaugural post ten fascinating facts about water, shamelessly lifted from Wikipedia:

1. It really is blue. No, seriously.

2. It is the only common, pure substance found naturally in all three states of matter.

3. It is one of the few substances that is less dense in solid form, ice, and that its liquid state. This is a good thing, if not completely understood.

4. In 1742, Anders Celsius defined the Celsius temperature scale with the freezing point of water at 100 degrees and the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure at 0 degrees. Carolus Linnaeus reversed the scale in 1745 after the death of Celsius. It is unknown whether Linnaeus said “duh.”

5. In some circumstances, hot water freezes faster than colder water. This is known as the Mpemba effect.

6. Oxide, hydrogen and dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) are two scientific names for water. The ominous sound that the second name, in particular its acronym, was the genesis of a fraud that led to some innocent for a ban on the waters, because, among other threats, which causes erosion and drowning and is a component main acid rain.

7. The water can act as an acid or alkali, and also has an acid name, hydroxic acid, and a name alkaline hydrogen hydroxide. Do not memorize them, or are widely used.

8. This may come as a shock, but pure water has a low electrical conductivity. Naturally, water has always produced impurities; even in small quantities these salts enhance the conductivity of the water.

9. Ice is a general term for more than 14 known solid state of water. Why ice is slippery is still a matter of scientific controversy.

10. Ninety-seven percent of the surface waters of the Earth is in the huge bowls of soup we call oceans saline. (Water, water everywhere and all that.)

Melissa Gorga

Real Housewives of New Jersey is getting a new cast member! According to a report, Teresa Giudice's sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, is set to replace Dina Manzo on the Bravo show.

"At first she wasn't sure she wanted to go on the show, but she decided to accept it," a family friend of Gorga told RadarOnline.

And it turns out Gorga, who is married to Giudice's brother, Giuseppe, a real estate developer, is even more outrageous than Teresa.

"Their house is actually twice the size as Joe and Teresa's. It's enormous! She has two live-in nannies and lives in a $4 million mansion on an exclusive lot in Montville," a source said. "Teresa and Joe's house looks like a garage compared to theirs."

"Melissa's husband used to have a landscaping business and then he got into real estate," the source said. Gorga worked as her husband's secretary when he was in the landscaping business.

Teresa Giudice is reportedly trying to leave the show. The bankrupt housewife recently had a major flip-out during the reunion special of RHONJ when Danielle accused Teresa of not acknowledging her nephew's birth -sparking rumors that her nephew is actually her husband Joe Giudice's love child with his sister-in-law Melissa.

OSU Football

It was business as usual for two highly ranked teams making their 2010 college football debut on Thursday. Terrelle Pryor started his Heisman campaign, leading 2nd-ranked Ohio State to a 45-7 drubbing of Marshall in Columbus.

Down in Miami, Florida, junior quarterback Jacory Harris dominated the field all night as the Miami Hurricanes beat Florida A & M in a 45-0 shutout. Jacory Harris had an easy night completing 12 of 15 passes for 210 yards and three touchdowns. His backups went 7 for 11 for 40 yards as this one was a laugher early. Miami scored 1:40 into the game on a 19 yard pass from Harris to Leonard Hankerson, who scored again before the first quarter ended. Miami led 35-0 at halftime and put it in cruise control from there.

Florida A & M threw for just 58 yards and ran for only 52. Miami ran for 155 yards as a team.

Terrelle Pryor was the story for Ohio State who ran out to a similar start to Miami. Ohio State had this game in the bag at halftime with a 35-7 lead. Pryor threw a six-yard touchdown pass to DeVier Posey 1:18 into the game to set the tone as Ohio State marches toward a national championship in the 2010 college football season.

Terrelle Pryor was 17 of 25 for 247 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. He had 8 carries for 17 yards on the ground. Brandon Saine ran for 103 yards on just 9 carries and touchdowns while Jaamal Berry had 80 yards on only 7 carries. Posey had two touchdown receptions and Dane Sanzenbacher had the other touchdown while collecting 113 yard receiving.
