Answer to:
Is bad dry mouth common for other divers during diving, and what can be done to prevent it? Sure, you are breathing dehumidified air. It's much drier than what you normally breath. When the tank is filled, that air is both filtered and dehumidified to reduce condensation in the tank and prevent particles from settling in there. What can you do about it? Stay hydrated. Drink water prior and post dive. You won't get rid of your pasties but you'll be healthier for it.

Answer to:
Seals are multiplying by hundreds of thousands due to a non existant seal hunt. As Seals eat fish do you think it would be ok to restart the seal hunt to help fish stocks recover? The seal hunt has never been discontinued. The only thing that changes ( other than new hunt regulations) from year to year is the quota. I have a pal that has his doctorate in Pinniped ( seals) studies and just finished that doctorate on the Davis Straight herd. The population numbers previously reported are way off. There are a lot more. The new number of the present population is in the ten...

Answer to:
Whats your opinion on the canadian seal hunt Species management. Before you all start calling me a "baby murderer" or the like...do some research on Davis Straight herd populations and then look at the numbers for healthy herd sustainability. Even the World Wildlife Fund agrees and has no issue with the Seal hunt.

Answer to:
Why seal bashing is still considered as a 'sport' in Canada and Norway? There should no be anymore animal torture in this era. Why such thing still exist? It's not a sport. Never has been. I suggest you research the term hakapik, hunt regulations and the Canadian Veterinarians Association regarding the humaneness of the hunt. You'll also find some interesting facts regarding the hunt. Little things like "bashing" is not the primary method of hunt, that 95% are taken by rifle and that "bashing" is actually instantaneous death.

Answer to:
Who was the group that protested the Canadian seal hunt on the door steps of the Canadian Embassy in Washington recently and your thoughts on the costumes they employed? PETA People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The same folk who would also like to see your pet destroyed since PETA is against the domestication of animals. Check out their euthanasia stats for the only shelter they run in Virginia. They kill over 90% of the animals they take in.

Answer to:
Can I use a swimming pool PH kit to read my aquarium freshwater PH? The kits are expensive and I have the liquids to read chlorine, bromium, ph and so on from a swimming pool kit. Would the reading be the same if I use it on aquarium water? Both kits will use a reagent called phenol red to test pH. The result for pH will be accurate unless your reagent set has expired ( they do have a shelf life of about a year) or the test kit has been left outside and frozen. If either of the previous are true..you need to replace the reagents in the kit. Your pool results will be off too.

Answer to:
Does the suunto zoop allow multiple users to diver in successive dives under different profiles? That would be a first if it were true. It's not. Dive computers are a personal piece of kit and not meant to be shared during diving activity. I think you may be confusing the word "profile" in write ups done on the computer. It's not meant to describe individual divers. It's meant to describe individual dive parameters. Once a diver begins successive dives with any dive computer...that...

Do you believe the Afgan war is winnable? NATO won't win the war, the Afghan people need to do that. NATO can on the other hand, make it safe enough, train enough locals to take care of their own security and provide enough infrastructure support until the Afghans get on their feet. There will always be extremists out there. You can't get them all but you can make it very uncomfortable for them.

I have a heat pump, but it keeps freezing on the top (rain/snow) not allowing the air to flow. Is there a way to prevent this? When a heat pump ices over, it's either a case of dirty fins on the coil or the unit is placed in a bad spot that limits airflow across the unit. Besides, aren't you using that as a backup instead of a main source of heating/cooling? Air to air heat pumps are usually only efficient down to an outside air temp of -10 degrees C. Below that they don't scam much heat from the air...

Have you ever had "bad water?" If so, where, and what was wrong with it? It was obviously used to wash a salad I ate in Cairo in a supposedly safe restaurant. Can you say Pharaohs curse? Was on the 18th floor of the Marriott there during an earthquake to boot. I was hoping the quake would kill me while I was praying to the porcelain god.

My laptop screen says unmountable boot volume and it not working. What should i do to get it to work again? That could be a host of issues. Anything from a corrupted operating system to actual physical damage of the hard drive. It may even be incorrect settings in the bios for that matter. Your best bet? Take it in for service because unless you really know what you're doing you could get yourself into worse shape than you currently are.

Never any problem getting beer, especially the old Brador (6.2% alc) from a pal's sympathetic older brother who routinely got us a case when we were 13-15 years old. After that, at 16, it was never a hassle getting served at any pub or bar. I only ever got carded once...on my 19th birthday. Go figure, our age here is 19.

Describe a situation in which you identified a problem and took action to correct it rather than wait for someone else to do so I saw that this question didn't belong in this category and I flagged it as such. I then suggested to the author that the sort of question they are asking are far more suited to this category http://www.answerbag.com/c_view/1786 since this question is in a heck of a lot of job interviews.

Answer to:
You have a parrot. Do you actively teach it objectionable words, or watch what you say around it? I watch what I say and also what others say around him. He's fairly fast at picking new things up. If something were to happen to me, it would make it difficult for him to be adopted if his vocabulary included swearing. About the nastiest thing he knows is " I can talk...can you fly?" That's about as rude as he gets.

Is there a particular reason why IndyCar and F1 can't merge together into one global league? Also, how come F1 Grand Prix events are almost exclusively in Europe now? Simply put, the cars are apples and oranges. They are nowhere near the same in capability nor technology. In Indy...it's a level playing field. The cars are pretty well identical and there really is no incentive for teams to invest in R&D. That's the opposite in F1 and after this season even more so.

Apart from electrolysing a saline solution to obtain chlorine, does anyone have knowledge or experience of using salt to keep a pool clean / algae free?

The real difference between a normal chlorine sanitized pool versus a salt genny is that the chlorine produced in a salt pool is "recycled".

A slap on the wrist and Daddy won't let him have the family car again for awhile is probably the only thing that'll happen. I have a neighbor making me a 1/4 inch steel plate one. Next little...

What are some arguments against the death penalty other than the possibility of an innocent person being executed? First and foremost, what you've already mentioned. It has happened. Secondly cost. There are a number of states that are now taking the death penalty off the books because somebody finally figured out that it DOES cost more to execute someone than to imprison them for the rest of their lives. I dunno why it took so long to figure that one out. Most death row inmates sit there for a...

What would be the value of a nuclear power plant in space? The obvious. Power available to a space craft when solar isn't either enough or not an option. There are a number of still functioning as well as defunct satellites in orbit that contain nuclear reactors. They also don't always burn up like they're supposed to at the end of their lifespan. Here's a good example, Cosmos 954: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos_954

How do you feel about the seal cub cull being allowed to escalate? Right now, it's not a cull. It's what's commonly known as a regulated commercial hunt. There's a difference that I'll explain but before I do, I'll also let you know that no white coats (pups) have been allowed to be hunted for over 20 years. It's the law. Anyone caught doing it faces loss of boat, fine and jail time. The hunt's regulated and observed....

What do you think of seal clubbing? 95% or more of harp seals taken are actually shot with a high powered rifle. If you ask me, it's actually more humane to use the hakapik since it guarantees an instant death. It's also harder for the sealer to do which in turn helps limit the number taken. Animal rights activists wanted the rifle over the hakapik...they got it. That just makes killing faster and easier but not...

Answer to:
Is there any danger in scuba diving 48 hours before catching a flight? 48 hours is fine. 24 hours is fine too. Although a few dive agencies reccomend only 18, most divers will use the 24 number. The only reason I can think of that would prevent you from flying 48 hours after a dive is if you had an injury.

Ok, which color of pool cover works the best? They all have at least a 3,5 or 8 year warranty. I need to know which one will work the best at getting and keeping the water the warmest. The blue, black or clear. Black absorbs most of the light spectra and the material will heat quicker but don't expect to heat your pool solely with a solar blanket, no matter the colour. They only heat the top 2 inches or so, even the "bubble wrap" ones. They're great at retaining heat when put on at dusk or when the air is colder than the water, but as far as providing heat, not so much.

Where is the best place to scuba in Hawaii? Thinking of Molokini, but is this suitable for novice divers (we are PADI certified, but not experienced) Molokini is a great spot.

Just off Black Rock on Maui is a spectacular , relatively protected wall. There's also Hanahuama ( sp?)Bay which is on Oahu, a little past Diamond Head. Great protected bay, relatively shallow and nice...

Do you think gun control laws make people easy targets for terrorism? The casualties in Mumbai, India would have been much lower had their citizens been allowed to carry concealed firearms and returned fire when the terrorists attacked. Probably would have been higher. Somehow I can't see an Indian woman pulling a glock out of her sari and hitting what she thinks she aimed at. No, the guns are best left with the cops and army, which by the way, if you ever visited India before, they're everywhere.

Do you think that the government should legislate morality or should we leave it up to the religious organizations to teach morality to their members and for parents to teach their children?

The former being a religious morality, the latter being a government decree. Hey...why not just give up a child the second it's born. What's the difference there?

People who hate everything America stands for, or at least stood for, are very popular now (Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Obama, B. Frank, M. Moore, et. al.) In years past people of this ilk would have been ridiculed for their America hating. What changed? Hating? That's a strong word. If you saw your wife trying to use the wrong tool for the job when the right one is sitting beside her, would ya hate her? As an outsider looking in, I'd say that the President of the last 8 years had been trying to use a hammer to screw in a lightbulb. Someone ( the electorate) noticed that doesn't work and changed tactics to get the job done.

My computer's Central Processing Unit Usage every so often spikes up to about 98%. Does this mean there could be a problem? No, it means that your cpu is working at near capacity for the task at hand is all. You're asking it to do something so it's trying to do it as fast as it can, using all it's resources to do it. That's what it's supposed to do. If the task requires a lot of number crunching, the cpu uses what it has to do it. If the task is easy and doesn't require all of the...

Hopefully, that will start a reef a few hundred years down the road or at the very least, replace part of a damaged reef or aquatic shelter. There's actually a company that offers this service.

Serious question: Why don’t Navy ships tip over? You wouldn’t think that such a narrow V-shaped hull would be nearly as stable as a wider U-shaped hull. And aircraft carriers look ridiculously top-heavy. It all has to do with placement of mass and centre of gravity. It's not so different than how a sailboat with a weighted keel, remains upright, while a wind in the sails is trying to tip it over. The keel's mass is located well below, resiting the wind's attempt to tip the boat unless the wind's strength or extra mass added above the centre of gravity exceeds what...

Is it true that when you dive underwater, you can stay there longer with teh breathing tube? Is it because air is trapped in there? If so, how? Answered in order here. No and no. The snorkel just allows you to draw breath at the surface without the need to lift your head for it. A convenience is all. It won't help you stay down once the barrel (tube) tip is submerged nor will you be able to use the small amount of air ( if any with some designs) that's trapped in the barrel.

Anyone with a swimming pool use those chlorine tablets that go in the little floaty thing instead of liquid chlorine? How do you use these and are you happy with them? The chlorine pucks work fine. Make sure the pucks you get are the stabilized ones. The only issue here is the floating dispenser. These don't work so well. You're better of installing an in line or off line chlorinator such as the hayward cl 200 or cl 220. They regulate your chlorine output better and more evenly throughout the pool than a floatie.

How many people have you met with the same name as yours? One person with my (our) full name and same spelling. A total fluke, he was looking for real estate in the area as I was working in the yard. His reason for stopping and asking was that we shared the same last name (on my mailbox). Turned out, we also shared the same middle and first name as well.

Answer to:
The earth's atmosphere is 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen and 1% other gases...question is: Does the 21% oxygen include the oxygen found in carbon dioxide (CO2)? Nope, the CO2 is a gas unto itself. It comes in at around .039 % by volume. If you're wondering why your math isn't adding up now, it because the figures you've quoted are approximates. Also, the actual composition changes in a given location due to many influences, altitude above sea level for instance.

Computer guys: My main computer just died. The green little light says that it is on, and I know that it isn't the monitor. It has been restarting itself once or twice a day for awhile now.

Clean out the dustbunnies everywhere including the heat sinks, with a can of compressed air, being careful not to let the fan blades spin wildly. If that doesn't do it, then in all likelihood it's the PSU ( usually). If you have a spare or can locate one from a pal that of about the same power rating, then try swapping it out.

How accurate is the clock's time in my pc's taskbar? Does it ever need manually resetting,or does my pc automatically stay accurate? If you have your PC set to the correct time zone and have internet time set to auto synch, then it'll be accurate. Edit: I guess I should tell you how to do it, eh? I'm assuming this is at the least, XP. Right click on your clock display. Choose adjust date/time from the drop down menu. In the new window that opens, select the Internet time tab. Make sure the time synch box is...

My boyfriend of 8 months is going away oversea's on buisness in a few months. He recentnly just droped the "bomb" on me, that a friend of his, whom i don't like, is going with him for a weekend. (She is a female, and someone from his past) I need advice.. On your end,simple. You trust him or you don't. On his end, simple. He either puts up with your insecurity or he doesn't. Edit: from what I've seen in your comments, you may as well forget this relationship. You're not ready for it nor the future. Most men that have no plans on cheating, would begin to want out of a relationship where their partner doesn't trust...

I've got something called "NoAdware" on my system. I have Spybot, Ad-Aware, AVG, Spywareguard but none of them can get rid of it. Any suggestions? Tough one to nail. Here's a site listing the known registry values that No Adware changes. http://ca.com/us/securityadvisor/pest/pest.aspx?id=453122784 If that version of No Adware is 4.0 or above, it actually DOES contain a roll back feature, allowing you to get rid of any changes it's made and remove the software.

When i got the mobile, i found there was no games on it. But on the same make it has come with games. How can i get them on my phone? If your service provider has the function, you can download them directly to a mobile that's capable. The process differs from provider to provider and phone to phone. You'll just have to look for a "downloads" menu on your phone. Some phones will have a handy "games/get more games" shortcut. You'll pay for any game that you download and it will be charged to...

How did you choose your Answerbag name (assuming its not actually your name, that is!)? After a brain storming, 3 second, thought process I guess. I have a number of pals with the same name as I. Robert. I am known amongst them all as Scuba Bob, Scub, Fish, Bert, Skip, Nobby and a host of other nicks. It's easier than Scuba Bert etc and an identifier amongst us all. I think it's actually kind of odd, that the name Robert has so many variations. Must be the Welsh...

What can be see in Agra except Taj Mahal? The Red Fort. I've been to both as well as some other tourist sites in and around Agra.

Why can't I listen to music videos? I can listen to everything else just not videos. Pardon the pun, but it sounds like a codec issue. You probably will be able to solve it by installing the most recent version of the K Lite Codec package.

That will quite often, correctly ID a board. Yet another option is to download the free version of...

Do you flag questions as duplicate even if they are not the same but are in the same format?(Eg:"Which language has got the largest character set " and similarly "smallest character set"?Is it right to do so? This isn't a good example really. There are two distinctly different answers involved. Using this example, no, neither ought to be flagged as dupes as they aren't asking for the same result.

It doesn't speed up the process.

What is a disadvantage of using two 64 mb sticks instead of one 128 mb stick in a system with 3 slots for memory? Cost for one. Buying two 64's are usually a few dollars more than a single 128 or two 128's versus a single 256 and so on. The second would be the fact that you have 3 slots. Putting those two 64's in leaves you one spot. Assuming that your mobo supports more than a gig of ram, the most you'll be able to put in there now, without tossing out those two sticks is another gig...

I just installed XP. Everything seems to be working except my mouse. It doesn't work in the PS2 or the USB connection. The system comes up to the logon screen; the keboard works (PS2 connection), but the mouse does not. Any ideas? Check your bios. I imagine that's where the issue is. You WILL have an option in there regarding PS2 or USB HID's. If anything, putting your mouse in the PS2 ought to work by default. If it doesn't, then is it by any chance a Logitech wireless? If so, get back to me in "comments" and I can walk you through it, as I have that issue on occasion with my wireless Logitech...

Why do I need to add 25 pounds of salt to my pool every week to maintain the 3000PPM ratio? Where is the salt going? That's a heck of a lot of salt for a salt water generator to be going through. I have a question here. How often are you topping the pool up? You're salinity levels will only go down if you're tossing out pool water and replacing with fresh. An average backwash on a sand filtered pool, doesn't use all that much water and with one of these types of filters, ideally, you...
