Submerge Rises to the Challenge

I have been a part of InnerCHANGE for almost 2 years now, and this book still struck me as fresh and challenging when I read it. It made me want to join InnerCHANGE all over again!

I recommend this book to youth who are thinking about life directions such as college/mission. I recommend it to college students, and especially recent grads who are looking for a meaningful and prophetic way to engage in the world. I recommend it for seasoned adults in all walks of life who want to hear afresh God's call to create/join a community and pour it out into the cracks and crevices of the world's societies.

My four year old and I were very excited about this submarine. While it is a lot of fun in the bathtub, when taken into a swimming pool, somehow the self-emerge feature keeps failing and the poor thing always ends up at the bottom. How inconvenient! My son relies on the ability of this submarine to come back up but instead it takes a dive and stays grounded. The turning know is a little difficult for little hands to turn.

Super Puzzle.  It was a challenge but that is what a 3D puzzle should be.  It was fun to see it coming alive.

Holds more water than the pitchers and has a spout.

Not quite as good as Hatchet, as the struggle to survive is contrived to begin with. Military experts want him to go thru a similar experience while being observed so they can figure out how he was able to survive. They need to know what about him helped him the first time. What he teaches them could help others who might be in similar situations. When things go wrong Brian has new problems to solve. He is responsible for another person who has been struck by lightening and is in a coma. There is less focus on how painful and consuming hunger can be. More focus on making critical decisions. How to get the injured man back to civilization, building a raft, learning how to navigate on the river. There are periods where Brian is exhausted because he is trying to get to the trading post as fast as possible. He falls asleep, dreams and hallucinates for portions of this excursion. Still a good story. We will look for the next one in this series.

If you are looking for a product that doubles as both a GMRS and a marine radio, you have probably found this product.  From the specs, it looks good, and using on dry land, it is fine, but once you use the submersible attribute of the product, that is when the problems start.

I bought this product to replace the 2 radios I had been carrying in waterproof bag.  Initially, this product was a god send, it was compact, did 2 functions in just one radio, and didn't need a waterproof bag.  The problem is that one the product is submersed, it stops working as intended.

The first one of these I had was submersed in water of about .5 meters for only a few seconds while in my life jacket.  After that, the sound levels dropped drastically and functions started to change sporadically without me trying to change them.  Cobra was very helpful and sent me an RMA and replaced the product.

The second radio I got (the replacement) befell a similar fate again after being momentarily submersed.  This time, the radio began to pick up rogue transmission that weren't on any of the channels I was monitoring.  Cobra was again helpful in replacing the device.

The third radio (the replacement's replacement) is now kept in a sealed waterproof bag where I haven't had any trouble with it yet, but the purpose of getting a submersible radio is defeated if it can't be submersed without failing.

If you have plans on keeping the radio high and dry, it is a good radio with a wide feature set and decent reception, but if you are like me and need a radio that can get submersed, I would highly recommend staying away from this one.

valves are sticking.  it has a breathy feel to it.  It's hard to get rid of all the water at once.

There is a hole in the bottom that allows water to flow in, more of a beach toy than an actual kayak

Heads up, once you put water in the top and set up the bottom it can get quite heavy.

At first look, this thing appears like it wouldn't provide a solid seal against water, but after complete Caribbean submersion it passed the test with flying colors. Works great!

Water has never been so clear. Maintenance has never been so easy.

The game challenges you on several levels. You must be prepared at times from attacks from all angles. Not for the faint of heart...

This is jsoso!! The forms inside that are to float around are sealed together and difficult to get separated. You have to try to get your finger in to water fill hole to separate them so that this works.

WHEN WATER FLOWS UPHILL
Summary:
Scientist Dr. Armand Croft, a distressed amnesia victim, takes an assignment to import water to Las Vegas from a subterranean aquifer in the north. But northern ringleader Gary Wixx organizes a ranchers alliance that stops Dr. Croft at every reach. Subsequently, the two men face off and launch an embittered and fierce water war. Meanwhile, Dr. Croft falls in love with a female archeologist who becomes the target of threats that promise to relent if he will forfeit the water grab. Nevertheless, backed by corporate power and sworn to secrecy, he completes his assignment, builds a pipeline, and moves the water south. But an unforeseen terrorist attack changes everything when it destroys a pipeline station, kills a security guard, and leaves Dr. Croft as the FBIs primary suspect.

Historical Context:
This is a very good story. The plotline is unpredictable, a situation the audience would find very interesting, and the characters are solidly defined. Its main theme is water and the fight for this precious resource in a future burdened with so many challenges.

Book Cover and Interior Formatting:
I so love the manner the water column flows down from the tap over the letters of the title.  The background to this little drama is also quite riveting. The stark difference between the scorched earth in the foreground and the mega city in the backdrop speaks volumes about the nature of the struggle played out in this book's pages. The interior design of the eBook also doesn't disappoint.

Writing Style:
Author Shaw's method is a calculated one. Her intended direction is always hazy until the very end. Only a patchwork of information coming through argues for the bigger picture as the story unfolds. Actively engaging the reader with her sentences, she craftily builds up a strong case for her characters with their environment and the drama unfolding in their lives. An expected clash of interests will always loom in such situations. This reviewer observed very few errors in the text.

My thoughts:
Compellingly convincing. The Water Wars might just be round the corner.

This is a great presentation of "some" of the sacrifices that were made for this great accomplishment.  It was a great undertaking at a time when we needed jobs and industry and more conservation of water.  The video was very well received.

Air is trapped in the top silicon "bulb" so it's difficult to submerge the tea

It takes more then a few drops to help control the algae in the water feature.
