    Beieve what you want.

    Jim even asked the Band to ask the audience to stop destroying his newly aquired property but Zack was SARCHASTIC!!


    There have been isolated incidents of violence at packed Meadows shows in years past. Fences were torn down and burned, and sod was torn up, at a 1997 Rage Against the Machine show, causing an estimated $40,000 in damage........Rage was banned as long as Zack continued to sing.

    Damage At Meadows Estimated In Thousands
    By ROGER CATLIN; Courant Rock Critic, August 19, 1997
    Damage at Sunday night's Rage Against the Machine concert at the Meadows Music Theatre in Hartford was put at as much as $40,000 on Monday. Jim Koplik, who operates the amphitheater, said 10 percent of the sod was ripped up and thrown around by concertgoers. That was less than the 60 percent of the sod damaged at the Lollapalooza '95 show, which resulted in a cost of $55,000 and the cancellation of at least one concert. But Koplik added that the 30 percent of the wooden fencing surrounding the perimeter of the lawn area that was destroyed by fans put the total damage estimate at more than $30,000

    I tried JDH and it was pretty good!

    My latest fave is a pineapple rum... so I refuse to buy it!

    Not enough information provided. At what ages are JC and Einstein?

    Moses is a fictional character and so not in the running.

    I absolutely LOVE ripe and fresh Pineapple!!!

    I once had the pleasure of being invited to a PIG ROAST where the Pig was cooked over a very large bed of very hot wood coals and the pig was fairly large and placed on a home made Rotisserie and the pig was slow roasted while one of the...they called them in translation from English...and it does not translate well.....a Pig Master Roaster....and they used a MOP.....which they dunked in a bucket of fresh COCONUT MILK AND PINEAPPLE JUICE.....and would from very early in the morning till about 5 pm.....continue non-stop....to continue to turn the pig and as they did continue to use the mop to coat the pig with the Coconut and Pineapple Juice.

    They also used a variety of spices not usually used in the States as well as some but not too much hot pepper similar to Cayane.

    When it was done they would use a Machete and chop squares of the Pig Skin wich tasted almost like CANDY!!

    Best I ever had!

    Give me one reason to save any of them. I don't care about anyone else any more than any one else cared about me. I swim to shore and spend the rest of my life never once thinking about any of these people.

    Who ever said that every decision we make had to somehow benefit the human race? And if someone did say it then why did anyone listen to them?

    As long as you aren't the person who caused these people to drown then you have no obligation to save any of them.

    I am the one who seeks attention? really? so you bragging that you have done everything, know everything and master everything is what?

    Oh and your opening was this was a question on the master diver exam. It isn't, the question on its face is stupid. You made it up.

    Can't say that I like pork roasted like this, I've had it once and it didn't taste done; but gotta say the pineapple juice & coconut milk baste sounds great. (Apple is prob my favorite flavor), pineapple my second favorite. Since this isn't a cooking or food thread, I'll leave it at that, lol.

    You really have it bad don't you?

    The question is on a Life Guard Test.

    The names were changed to make a point....a point that seems to elude you.

    I don't think I have ever read a member here post in a manner like you have here in that you take exception to that other members experiences or abilities.

    Until now. LOL!!!

    Does it really bother you that I have lived my life to the fullest possible way I could?

    Or does it bother you that you have not?

    Even if I was making all this up...which I am not....it is obvious that even the possibility that a member hs actually DONE SOMETHING with their life besides waste time on a forum chasing other members statements....really bothers you.

    I can't even get upset with you because you are displaying such a toxic combination of envy, jealousy, anger, disbelief, obsession and even worse....you spend zero time here expressing new concepts or new ideas that could possibly....Giant Pasta Monster in the Sky Forbid....be enjoyable to both you and perhaps other members....just makes me feel too sad for you to allow me to get upset with your anticts.

    I posted a number of questions specific to what a Diver never mind a Master Diver needs to know except fr the question about Heliox use at depth beyond what is safe or possible with diving using compressed air.

    Do you know enough to answer at least one or two of those questions or are you prefering to remain ignorant of such knowledge?

    If you try to answer a few and get them wrong I won't make a big deal about you not knowing.

    I will just tell you the answer and there is no shame in not knowing.

    But there is shame in not knowing and refusing to learn.

    Here are those questions again.

    Here is a question for you or any other member.

    At Sea Level.....there is 1 ATM.....or 1 Atmosphere of Pressure.

    Dry Air is composed of approximate 20.95% oxygen and 78.08% nitrogen, along with 0.93% argon and 0.04% trace gases.

    So....every 33 feet down underwater is equal to another 1 ATM....or another Atmosphere of Pressure at Sea Level.

    I found this explaination very informanative for those who never could understand what the Weatherman is saying as far as Barometric Pressure.

    Atmospheric pressure at sea level is the result of the EFFECT of gravity on the matter above sea level (the atmospheric gases). The amount of matter is not constant due to the height and density of the atmosphere (mostly due to temperature and water content/humidity).


    Unfortunately for the student, there are many, many different units for measuring atmospheric pressure. Standard air pressure at sea level is most easily defined as 1 atmosphere, or 1 atm.

    In terms of an international (ISO) standard, it is defined to be 101325 Pa or 101.3 kPa (kilo-Pascals) at a temperature of 15 °C. In meteorology outside of the United States (and sometimes among scientists in the USA), hPa (hectoPascal) is most commonly used (=1013.25 hPa)
    Note that a Pascal is also equal to N/m2 - Newtons per square meter, while 1 hpa = 1 mb (millibar) which is convenient for meteorologists, as noted above. Therefore, standard atmospheric pressure also = 1.01325 bar = 1013.25 mb.

    The metric value is commonly accepted to be 760mmHg (millimeters of mercury, also "torr"). "Millimeters of Mercury" is a measure that come from a kind of barometer (pressure meter) that uses a column of mercury in a glass tube to measure pressure: The higher the pressure, the taller the column of mercury.

    In American units of measure, it's 29.92 in. Hg (inches of mercury) or 14.696 psi (pounds per square inch). This means that, at sea level, the weight of air pressing on every square inch of something is almost 15 pounds.

    Something to think about: If you had 1 square inch of room-temperature mercury that was 29.92" tall, it would weigh ... 14.696 pounds!

    Again, these are the average atmospheric pressures only at sea level. Pressure drops as we gain altitude; for instance, in Denver, approximately 1 mile above sea level, atmospheric pressure drops to approximately 12.2 PSI or 841.4 millibar.
    If you were at sea level, the weight of the air pressing down on you would be 1.03 kilograms per square centimeter.or 1013.25 millibars.

    LINK....http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the...e_at_sea_level

    Anyways....we will approx. what we do here.

    A person takes a breath of air at Sea Level.....1 Atm....question is...what percentage of Oxygen and what percentage of Nitrogen Gases to they breath in?

    Answer is obvious as I already posted the percentages at 1 Atm at Sea Level.

    Now....let's ask so more difficult questions.

    At 99 feet down underwater a Scuba Diver who is breathing Air from a Regulator attached to their tank or tanks of compressed dry air are breathing in what percentage of Nitrogen and Oxygen Gases per breathful?

    At 99 feet down underwater a Scuba Diver breathing Compressed Air is experiencing how many ATM's of Pressure upon their BODY?

    At 99 feet down a Scuba Diver is breathing what percentage greater or lesssor of 02 per average breathful?

    At 99 feet down a scuba diver is breathing what percentage greater or lessor of Nitrogen Gas per Average Breathful?

    How many Atm's of pressure does compressed air FREE FLOW OUT at 132 Feet down Underwater if say there is no Diver but just a tank of Compressed Air sitting on the ocean floor which happens to be 132 feet deep from Sea Level?

    What percentage of Oxygen and Nitrogen Gases are being released from that tank 132 feet down and how many Atm's of Pressure is that Compressed Air, the Percentage of Nitrgen and Oxygen Gases being released at?

    How many Atm's of pressure is being applied to the Tank of Compressed Air at 66 feet down underwater?

    How much pressure is being applied to the Metal Tank as it sits at sea level?

    And if a person filled their lungs with a big deep and long breath at 132 feet down underwater.....how many times the cubic feet of air would be released from their lungs at 66 feet if they MOST DANGEROUSLY.....ROSE FROM 132 FEET UNDERWATER HAVING FILLED THEIR LUNGS WITH COMPRESSED AIR AT THAT DEPTH.....AND THEN HELD INN THE AIR TILL THEY REACHED 66 Feet IN DEPTH AND OPENED THEIR MOUTH AND NOSE AND ALLOWED THE AIR TO ESCAPE THEY BREATHED IN AND HEALD IN AT 132 eet down underwater?

    HINT....doing this would most likely KILL THEM!!!

    Hint: Having to post from Answers.com which is the bastard child of Wikipedia means you can't post anything from memory since you don't have one. I am not a Master Diver or should I write MASTER DIVER but the question you posed is stupid and exists on no life guard test, ever. Even if you changed the names. The change made the question even stupider. So post the actual test, they are all over the internet. Go ahead. Post it.

    Oh and your questions, are you using E A N tanks or a trimix, that would make a difference.

    I posted multiple times just COMPRESSED AIR was being used!!!

    EAN or ENRICHED AIR NITROX was never discussed in thses questions!!

    And as far as my questio being STUPID.....which if that is what you believe by all means reamin ignorant....but I have to ask......WHAT EXACTLY ABOUT THE QUESTION DID YOU FIND STUPID???

    And the quesion and training specific to WHO DO YOU SELECT in a groups such as the one I posted....and as I explained the NAMES were used to MAKE A POINT.....as the Coast Guard will tell you...."I DON'T CARE IF THAT IS JESUS H. CHRIST DOWN ON THAT BOAT.....HE IS HYSTERICAL.....SO STAY AWAY FROM HIM....AND IF HE INTERFERES WITH YOUR BEING ABLE TO GET OTHERS IN THE BASKET.....YOU KNOCK HIM OUT!!

    Then the percent of 02 is the same regardless of depth. The difference is the partial pressure of 02 and it is not an issue for most divers as using regular compressed air there are limits to depth.

    I know but the question was dumb with the information you added. In the tank the percent of O2 doesn't change, how the pressure effects its interact with the body.
    No life guard test would include the people you mentioned, you seemed to not understand what a riptide is, getting out of one is easy if you don't panic. The riptide has nothing to do with diving. Should I go on?

    And that made the question stupid.

    You are starting get even funnier.

    Since the percentages of O2 and Nitrogen Gas are the same at 1 ATM as they are at 5 Atms....132 feet down....this means the AMOUNT OF NITROGEN GAS A PERSON TAKES IN PER BREATH IS 5 TIMES GREATER THAN A PERSON BREATHS IN AT 1 ATM OR SEA LEVEL!!!

    You say this is STUPID.....but this is one of the most important thing a DIVER NEEDS TO KNOW!!

    I notice you say things are STUPID a lot.

    Sort of like my buddies 13 year old daughter as she say's things like....."Uhh! Why do we need to know History...is just so...like....STUPID!! Why do I need to learn learn Algebra.....it's like so...you now....STOOOOPIIIID!!!"

    Karma.....this is EXACTLY how your posts and this one in particular read to me......"Cuz like...you know...it's like so....STUUPID!!"

    When a Diver breaths compressed air at 5 ATM's or 132 feet down....they breath in 5 times the Nitrogen Gas which is extremely dangerous if not deadly in some cases.

    The Nitrogen Gas that a Diver breaths in per breath is 5 times the actual amout of Nitrogen Gas per breath and this Nitrogen Gas bulds up in a persons Bloodstream and depending upon the person.....as I don't have any problems util I get to around the 155 Feet Plus Down Underwater point but for some people 100, 110, 120 130 or 132 feet down will give them what is known as NITROGEN NARCOSIS.

    Imagine feeling REALLY DRUNK but so drunk you don't care if you live or die and most divers killed by Nitrogen Narcosis are so wasted and so happy that THEY NEVER EVEN ATTEMPT TO SURFACE!!!

    SURFACING....there is ANOTHER ISSUE.....as when doing Deep Dives with Compressed Air.....a DIVER MUST STOP USING THEIR BC OR BOUYANCY CONTROL VEST....to be able to be BOUYANCY NEUTRAL so that they don't SHOT TO THE SURFACE....as a Diver must do a DECOMPRESSSION STOP FOR 5 MINUTES AT 15 DOWN UNDERWATER.

    These 5 minutes gives the body time to readjust to the mush lessor pressure as at 15 feet down a Diver is encountering about 1.51 ATM's which allows the NITROGEN GAS to exit a Divers Bloodstream to acceptable limits but even this does not fully decompress the Diver!!!

    EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS NEXT PART AS IT MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE!!!

    In some down south...like MEXICO....resort areas.....they offer a chance for $100 to $150 to GO SCUBA DIVING ALONG A REEF full of beautiful fish and coral and such beauty unless you have spent a lot of time Diving....you could never truly appreciate just how awesome such a thing is in reality.

    Anyways......NEVER GO SCUBA DIVING AND GET ON A PASSENGER JET AIRLINES ONE DAY OR LESS THAN 36 TO 48 HOURS AFTER DIVING!! IF YOU DO IT WILL MOST LIKELU RESULT IN YOUR DEATH!!!

    BEST CASE SCENARIO.....YOU GET THE BENDS AND WRITHE IN UNTOLD AGONY UNTIL THEY CAN GET YOU BACK TO THE STATES AND INTO A DECOMPRESSION CHAMBER!!!

    Everyone has heard about the BENDS...right?

    You know why they call it the BENDS?

    Because if a person has done too many dives...or done too many deep dives or just done one 15 minute Dive at 150 or even done ONE SINGLE DIVE AT 100 PLUS FEET DOWN.......the amount of Nitrogen Gas in their Bloodstream would begin to bubble like shaking up a soda can and then opening the can!!

    The Nitrogen Gas would bubble out of the Human Circulatory System and collect at the JOINTS.

    This causes a persons JOINTS TO BEND....thus.....THE BENDS!!

    If you fly out a day later after doing one or two relatively deep to average dives.....say 99 feet which is about average for Reef Diving......YOU WILL MOST LIKELY DIE MIDAIR!!!

    In Mexaco or Belize...etc...they don't ask you when you are going to fly out.....they don't ask you anything other than.....Where is the $200 Senor?


    But then again.....if I was KARMA everything I just posted would be...."Like....you know it's like STUPID!"

    It's OK though.....Natures way of thinning the herd....making sure the more Knowledgable and those WITH BASIC COMMON SENSE SURVIVE!!!!

    Because Nature is ruthlessly BRUTAL to those who think that any information or data is....."It's like...you know....why does it have to be so....STUPID! It's STUPID!! Why he is telling me is STUPID!!"

    UHHH!!!

    Yes Karma.....everything you told us is STUPID....we know....what? Yes....this talk is STUPID as well.

    Well now you are talking sense. The amount of increased too because it is denser. The percent stay exactly the same.
    When talking about your posts that is an appropriate word.

    cute you hang out with 13 y.o.

    You know you sound like a child.

    That depends on the amount of time.

    No that is not nitrogen narcosis. That is decompression sickness. Narcosis is about the effect on thinking and feeling.


    Yes that is the effect of the nitrogen in the system.


    Every 10 year old who dives below 100 feet knows this.

    No it won't. You might get decompression sickness but it isn't a death sentence. The nitrogen still in your system could more easy come out in big bubbles but your death is not likely.

    BEST CASE SCENARIO.....YOU GET THE BENDS AND WRITHE IN UNTOLD AGONY UNTIL THEY CAN GET YOU BACK TO THE STATES AND INTO A DECOMPRESSION CHAMBER!!!
    No you won't. it is possible but if you rose properly and you have no real health problems you might get the bends but you are a long way from death.

    Everyone? really?

    more childishness
    Like the ones who can spell?

    Again you being irrelevant nonsense that you got from the internet into the thread. So let me go back to my point. Your initial question about who do you save is not on any test and it was stupid. It wouldn't test anything of value.
    Them who can't dance call the drum bad.

    2 Boat Dives....one in the morning and one after lunch.....using dual steel tanks of compressed air which allows more bottom time as a single Aluminum Tank is 80 cubic feet of compressed air only......at depths of 100 to 135 feet and surfacing for 5 minutes at 15 feet for decompression then the next morning you fly out in a Passenger Jetliner with an internal cabin pressure set at 8000 feet in altitude = DEATH.
