Q:can i use chalk as a substitite for calcium carbonate ?

It's the same substance if. I remember correctly

Q:Do rocks in your tank make the pH rise?

They can if they are some sort of Limestone or coral based rock. What happens is the rock slowly dissolves and the minerals in the water raise the hardness and hence the pH. For African cichlids etc thats generally a good thing. Ian

Q:This is my first year playing lacrosse. I've started practicing, so I bought an STX AV8 with an AL6000 shaft. It's already got dents in it. I need a nicer stick with a non-aluminum shaft. I've been told that a Warrior Mojo is good for a beginner, but it still has an aluminum shaft. Cost effective solutions would be great, but I'm willing to spend a little more for a nice stick. Again, I'm a beginner, but I'm catching on very quickly. Also, I do not want a defensive stick.Thanks!

If you're willing to pay extra money, and you don't want aluminum, go with: Warrior Levitation-$215 Warrior Titan Classic-$155 Warror Titan Pro-$170 Warrior Dolomite-$130 TI22 Titanium (Brine)-$150 If you want a crankshaft, go with a Crankshaft 10° Titanium (STX)- $129 These are all titanium shafts, which are stronger than aluminum shafts. They won't bend or break as easily. These are all different sticks you can use on attack or midfield. For box, any position except goalie. I got all my prices from the Laxzilla catalogue. It's probably cheaper if you're American, we have to pay extra shipping here ( I live in Canada).

Q:How much does calcium cost?

The least expensive (and quite an ideal way) to supplement calcium is to get calcium supplements called Dolomite, You need calcium and magnesium in a 2 to 1 ratio. Dolomite, a sedimentary calcium-magnesium carbonate mineral naturally comes in this ratio. Calcium from oyster shells are also quite good but more expensive -- this does not contain magnesium. Take 1000 mg of calcium before going to bed. Ralfcoder's recommendation are not bad. Gypsum is calcium sulfate, but I would hesitate at eating that. I would buy food-grade calcium sulfate from an Asian market (it is used for making Tofu) or a health-food store. Chalk is calcium carbonate, but some manufacturers add color to chalk. Since it is not food grade, they don't have to list the ingredients.

Q:What is the mountain range to the north of Italy called?

The Dolomites are a mountain range in the North of Italy, but the big one is the Alps. The Apennines Range is the backbone.

Q:I am British, living in London, and may have an opportunity to move to Singapore in the near future. Probably going to be 6 months to a year at first, possibly longer (to be decided later).I would dearly love to bring my car with me - a 1979 Triumph Dolomite Sprint - if the car is still registered, insured, taxed and road-legal in the UK, can I drive it in Singapore? I have a full, manual, British licence.If the move became more permanent, I would obviously have to register the car on Singapore licence plates - is this possible? The last time I looked into this (2001), there were severe restrictions on car imports. I also heard about a ‘cherished car‘ scheme, but gives you a limited number of days on which you can drive the car. I would prefer to be able to use the car on a daily basis (as I do in the UK).The car is Right Hand Drive, manual overdrive transmission and in superb condition throughout. No worries about it being mechanically unfit whatsoever.Thanks in advance!

No one can deny that there is no perfect society. In any country, there WOULD be ungracious and rude people. But you can't really consider a country as ungracious and rude just because of a few people. Of course the level of courtesy and graciousness in Singapore can be improved, but I feel that it's already quite good. SIngaporeans have always be selfish( sort of), when in a competitive society most people will think for themselves before others, therefore resulting in 'ungraciousness and rudeness', like in your situation. I feel that the government should raise up awareness and promote more effective campaigns, but in the end, i feel that the underlying problem is our culture. It cannot be denied that the campaigns have had a considerable impact on singaporeans. Since the government started encouraging the people to clear their plates etc. after their meals, more people have been doing so. However, as i have stated above, the culture is the underlying problem in the society. From young, with exams etc. in schools, most people now only think for themselves, and that everyone has their own job and role, there is no need to do anything out of the way for the convenience of others. Instead, if possible, it is always best to get the fastest and most efficient solution. This may be due to Singapore's rapid progress since independence, and the fast-paced lifestyles of the people. The government should target this culture in singapore instead of campaigning for kindness, as the latter would have limited effects on solving the problem of ungraciousness and rudeness in singapore.

Q:I‘m not sure what brand I want but here are some I am considering:the harrow H2, the STX Stiffi, the STX Evo Ti, the STX Helix, and the one Im pretty sure I should get. the Brine Voice I have a dolomite shaft remember these are just suggestions if you think there are any other heads please let me know

harrow great Choice. try the turret if middie. if you play attack the crossbow. thes are great heads far and above other brands performance durability wise. but then again what head works for one player may not be suited for another. advise wise it is the harrow. mesh strings very easy to adjust. heads bulletproof.all heads you mentioned are great, but the harrows just have a little extra.

Q:Is dolomite useful in shale?

Limestone (Limestone), commonly known as limestone, carbonate and calcite as main component. Limestone is a sedimentary rock. Sometimes contain dolomite, clay mineral and detrital minerals, gray, gray, gray and black, yellow, red, brown red color, hardness is generally small, and dilute salt acid react violently. More complex, the clastic structure and grain structure of two kinds of structure. Debris by particle, micrite sparry cement and matrix composition. Also called particle debris, mainly in debris, bioclastic and oolitic, micritic matrix is composed of calcium carbonate fines or crystal particle is mostly less than plaster. 0.05 mm, microspar cements are chemical precipitates filling in porous rock particles between the calcite crystal particles is diameter greater than 0.01 mm; the grain structure is crystal particles by chemical and biological effect of chemical precipitation formed.

Q:I am wanting to go to Italy on a ski trip. Although what‘s the the best ski resort in Italy , and what is the best months to go in ? ThankYou,

See link below. I'd go in late Feb., early to mid March and I like the areas in the Dolomites.
