Flakes are caused by calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate precipitates. When hard water is frozen or boiled, the carbonates in the water come out of solution, appearing as whitish flakes and attaching to containers. This calcium is the same as that in dairy products and is harmless. Soft water does not have any calcium or magnesium carbonate deposits, but the use of soft water is not recommended.

Commercially made ice is stirred as it is being frozen and household ice is not. Without mixing, many more ice crystals form and air is trapped in the ice. Light rays are distorted by these crystals and this distortion gives home frozen ice a cloudy appearance. Dissolved minerals (calcium and magnesium) in the water also tend to settle out when the water freezes. You may notice these minerals floating in your glass when you use the ice cubes.

Water is generally safe in urban areas and established hotels/resorts, but for first-time African travelers this may cause abdominal upsets. So it is best to drink sealed bottled water, which is available throughout Kenya and Tanzania ? hotels, lodges and camps. This same sealed bottled or purified water is what is used by hotels, lodges and camps to make ice cubes, so they are safe; but if you are not comfortable doing so, avoid the ice cubes.

The Koolatron cooler was designed to function as a cooler and does not have ice cube facilities. Operating in an air temperature below 65 degrees F. the contents could become frozen slowly or frozen foods could be kept solid for some time. Most Koolatrons are not thermostatically controlled and run at maximum cold. ......( ask about the Koolatron "Arcti-Kool Freezer", model F86 ) ((Specialty coolers with thermostatic controls are available for Medical, Scientific and other Premium applications)) See similar questions...

The CUBEs are made out of veneer sheet goods (plywood) and hardwoods. The sides, top panel and drawer fronts are cut from veneer sheet goods and all the corners and drawer pulls are made form solid oak. The cabinet is assembled by hand using glue blocks and dowels. The reason we do not make the CUBEs entirely out of solid oak is because of the tendency for solid oak to split, warp and crack. This does not happen with sheet goods. Your CUBE looks like solid oak but doesn't act like it. See similar questions...

Your detail levels MUST be set to Highest in order for D2_3DFX to work properly. Run your original Descent2.exe and set your detail levels to "Highest", then re-run D2_3DFX. That should fix the problem. Note also that you should set your Screen Resolution to 640x480 in the original Descent2.exe - this will prevent D2_3DFX from switching to a really small screen size whenever you make changes to your settings.

The technical term for this is "waterproofing shingle underlayment." This is a self-sticking material that goes directly onto the wooden "deck" of the roof. It should be placed, at the minimum, on the bottom of the roof, near any gutters, as well as under any valley systems installed on the roof. See similar questions...

Yes, logs are lumber and all lumber moves. Lumber will expand when it is wet and shrink when it dries. If someone tells you their logs don't shrink...they're lying. The shrinkage of the log will be minimal if you get dry logs to begin with, and, keep them from getting wet before and during construction. See similar questions...
