Why is bacteria so important in your everyday lives?

Bacteria in our environment are not simply potential parasites of humans, but are engaged in many of the processes that affect our existence. "Helpful" bacteria prevent the growth of more harmful forms in the biosphere, contribute to the production of foods and medicines (cheese, penicillin), and help our bodies digest food (the probiotics Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium). Bacteria break down waste products in septic systems, and leaf cellulose in mulch piles. Occasionally even the "harmful" microoganisms will be beneficial, as when they kill off agricultural pests.

This is a fairly common Ford problem. What happens here, is that the blend door actuator moves normally, but the blend door is cracked where the actuator drive fits into it. You're going to need to replace the entire HVAC case. Contact your Ford dealer parts dept. and have your VIN handy. Keep some lube handy before making that phone call.

Why is water leaking into the frame well of your 1997 Chrysler Sebring convertible?

if the frame well you are talking about is the one i belive it is it is a normal function of the convertible top drainage system on the car. as long as there is no water in the floorboards or in the trunk and you dont hear any sloshing when you drive it is functioning properly. in your top basin/holder for the convertible top when it is down is a large pan which has 2 drains to allow water to drain into the frame on each side of the vehicle. also the backside of the top and any other hard to seal areas drain into this area to prevent your interior from getting flooded. if you hear a sloshing noise when you turn you need to unglog these. these normally clog up in high humidity conditions or when traveling from a desert/low humidity to a high humidity environment, and have to be cleaned out with a stiff straight piece of wire (ie clotheshanger). there are several points on the underbody that you have to unclog along the strip of metal where the visible body and the underbody come together. they are identifyable by running your hand along the backside of this strip and feeling for a little outward molded piece on the strip. there are 3-4 of these. insert your stiff wire into each hole until they drain the water. check these often after rainstorms to be sure they are draining, you dont want a rusted out piece of metal on your car and if they are holding water it will rust out eventually or even worse, flood your entire floorboard.

Why do people build houses without basements in California?

I believe there are several answers to this question:

-There are many houses built in California with basements, just not many being built in the recent years.

-California has relatively warm weather and the need to be underground to conserve energy is not a main concern to home owners.

-California property is expensive as it is, and it's usually cheaper to build up rather than down or wide. This is why a large two story house is the same as a smaller one story house.

-California has earthquakes, which a small one could cause significant damage to a basement; I'm thinking cracks and waterproofing issues.

-Other states may have basements to provide safety against certain natural disasters such as hurricanes or tornados, which California has none of these.

-I was told by a contractor a few years ago that in the Midwest and east they have to go deeper with the foundations to hit ground hard enough to build on. since they're already going down quite a few feet they may as well make it a couple of feet more and make rooms out of it. In California you only need to go down very little to hit hard ground like bedrock to build on, so they stop there since it's cheaper.
