I am 30 years old, 6ft tall with a athletic build and play with a handicap of 24.I need some advise on the what type of putter should I buy. Additional advise on the brand would also be great?
the only thing anyone over the internet could probably tell you would be to get a putter that is longer than standard, but even that depends on how hunched over you are when you put
my advice is to go to a local golf retailer and try out different retailers
you need to check for
-lie angle-the angle of your putterhead in relation to your shaft, this is dependent on how close to perpendicular to the ground you hold your putter when you swing
-shaft length-length of the shaft...lol
this is dependent on how far from the ground your hands are when you put, even if your tall, you might bend a lot when you put, and not require a long putter, or you might be someone who stands almost straight up when they putt, it depends on you
-mallet or blade putter head shape
i personally dont like my clubs looking like they are a space ship, but a some people can line up the ball to their intended line of putt better if they have a mallet putter (those putters that have white circles behind the putter face)
as for brand, that depends on your price range and whatever you find at the store that meets the above criteriaI need some advise on the what type of putter should I buy. Additional advise on the brand would also be great?
Quite honestly it comes down to two categories. First off, you have to be comfortable with the putter you use. Secondly, it depends on the price you're willing to spend. I play with an Odssey White Hot #1 putter, and I like it very much. That's also in a pretty good price range, especially for its quality. Because there are a large number of great putters out there, the best choice would be narrowing down the price range. If you want to spend a crapload of money, then Scotty Cameron is definitely the best out there. I got my putter for Christmas two years ago and I knew my dad was not willing to spend that much money on a putter, but it really depends. There are really so many different ways to go. If you like a certain company such as Nike (actually never mind because Nike does not make great putters), but one such as Mizuno, Bettinardi is their putter and very good quality, but I can stress enough it comes down to feel and price range. The best thing to do is maybe get your price range down and then pick a few companies you like and then start testing them out
In my opinion this question cannot just be answered. I offer the opinion that you head to a Dick's Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, or a Golfsmith store and test out different kinds of putters. I am now playing with an Odyssey Saber Tooth and love it. But I had to hit it to see how it would feel and if I liked it. I say you can't go wrong with an Odyssey. You may find that you like a heavier putter or a lighter one, a taller one or that you get more control with a belly putter. I think that your best option is to try out the different ones because only you can decide what your comfort level is and your price range.
Me personally a RIFE any kind they are nice looking and feel awesome or if you can afford a scotty cameron they are wonderful either a newport 1, 1.5, or 2 ($300). Heavy putter makes nic putter but some can be too heavy. Then there are Odyssey which have nice feeling putters for a good price an kind either blade or mallet. i would get them all in 35in also since your 6 foot
I know Titleist Scotty Cameron Detour New Port 2 Putter is good.There are many buyers purchase.You can have a try.and the price is low and guarranteed quality

Would it be weird to contact my mothers old boss for career advise?
When I was a child my mum worked as a courier for a florist for about 8 years.
I am considering a career change %26amp; looking into becoming a florist, would it be really weird of my to contact my mum's old boss from the florist shop? I would really like the career advise from someone who owns their own florist.
I'm sure she will remember us because they were quite good friends for many years.Would it be weird to contact my mothers old boss for career advise?
Of course it would be OK to contact her. I'm sure she'll be flattered that you went to her for career advice. It's best to get first-hand advice from someone who's in the field you want to get into.Would it be weird to contact my mothers old boss for career advise?
It's not weird. It's only weird if you make it weird. Just be polite and friendly, and I'm sure she'll be glad to talk to you.
Not weird at all. In fact, I think it's smart for you to do it, and I think your Mum's old boss would be flattered.

Can Hartlepool Borough Council advise it's employees that they must not speak to a suspended employee?
Hartlepool Borough Council have suspended one of it's employees. They have advised all other employees that they must not speak to this person otherwise they would face serious consequences. Is this legally right and is this an infringement on their human rights?Can Hartlepool Borough Council advise it's employees that they must not speak to a suspended employee?
Freedom of speech a fundamental of UK Law. That includes who you speak too as well as the subject matter.
The Council are wrong. such action would be against the 1998 European Law on Human rights. The the case ever got to court in Strasbourg the fines are unlimited.

What would these people advise to do if a 5 mile wide asteroid was hurtling towards earth?
...and expected to slam into earth at the rate of 5,000 miles a second in about 6 months?
What would Bush advise? What would TV preacher John Hagee advise? What would Pat Robertson say?What would these people advise to do if a 5 mile wide asteroid was hurtling towards earth?
Bush would blow it up
John would pray it away
Pat would talk it down slowlyWhat would these people advise to do if a 5 mile wide asteroid was hurtling towards earth?
Pray for their god to save us, guess what? We would be doomed. As for me, I'm eating beef, it's what's for dinner.
Bush would build a bomb shelter 10 miles under the earths surface, have it stocked with a lifetime supply of every luxury he could everwant. Seal himself up, and thenlet the American public know. Pat Robertson, would say it is God punishing the Earth for not voting for his presidential campaighn, then ask W if he has any room in his bomb shelter.
he would advise everyone to evacuate
Don't ask , don't tell...an asteroid of that size would be the end of all life on earth, and its doubtful we could do anything to defend the world against it.
Bend over and Kiss your A... good bye.
quit dreaming, we the people would never be told if something like that was coming.
Duck......Tuck......... and Cover
None would provide any helpful information.
It would take Bush almost six months to understand the problem, and another six months to react to it.
And his advisors would calculate where the asteroid would strike the earth and make sure Bush was visiting that spot at the time.
Don't know John Hagee, but if he's a typical TV preacher, he would create a telethon to raise money for the victims of the asteroid strike, with all checks payable to his personal account.
Pat Robertson would spend the next six months boasting that he knew this was going to happen because God emailed him about it. And he would be very disappointed if it didn't really happen.
Bush would spend the time claiming that the existance of the asteroid was ';just a theory.'; The two religious fanatics would claim it was divine judgement against whatever victim they were busy smearing at the moment.
They would advise to pray that means you're pretty much on your own. An asteroid this size hit the earth will not make a different where you go. As the asteroid initially struck the earth, the earth will all engulf in flame, burn everyone and everythng, after that there will be a nuclear winter last for years. I don't think anyone will survive unless they have an underground bunker with enough food and water last for 20 years.
They would say that the Great Journey has come to take us to Glorious Salvation.blushed

Muslims: How would you advise another Muslim who fornicates and is not able to stop?
Because of the environment she lives in, there is no one to encourage her to righteous deeds or to remind her when falls into wrong. The person does understand it is wrong repents yet falls back into the trap.Muslims: How would you advise another Muslim who fornicates and is not able to stop?
give them the hereafter series by imam anwar awlaki.
and then just let go and make du'aa. you can only do this much. Guidance is only in Allah's hands.Muslims: How would you advise another Muslim who fornicates and is not able to stop?
Just tell them the punishment for forincation and tell them that they can only marry a Muslim man or Muslim woman who is also a fornicator. the punishment for fornication is to be whipped 100 times in public in front of a group of Muslim witnesses and banished from the scene of the crime for 1 year.
Try and help her to get married and reminder her of the punishment for fornication in the Qabr and in the hereafter. Show her a Islamic DVD on life after death or borrow her a book on this and don't forget to remind her that Allah's doors of forgiveness and mercy are always open to her until she approaches death
Salam
As a Muslim it is our duty to convey the message of islam.Therefor just warn him/her about the punishments and the verses that Allah has mentioned in Quran.Now it is up to her whether she believes or not.You have done your job and InshaAllah you will not held responsible for him/her.
fornicate meaning having sex with others and or before marriage?
That would take many hours of watching that person and talking to them and also reconstruct their social and private life. That would have to take someone that they really trust.
She should have the understanding of modesty and shame. The islamic stand on modesty.
You mentioned there is no one to encourage her to reighteous deeds.
If you allow then tell her to email me - adeebshums786@yahoo.com
That's life. Some people are able to learn from other people's mistakes...and some people have to learn by making their own.
Just be a shoulder to cry on when she needs it...and don't feel like you have to support her unhealthy habits.
Maybe if you talk to her on a daily basis. That way she has the notion to refrain fresh in her mind daily. After time, it will become her nature. People adapt, you know.
Here is an advice:

I am going to buy a house on a main road where is really busy all the time, please advise me disadvantages?
I recently found out that on a busy street that is heavily traveled you contend with getting lead dust in your home from car and truck exhaust. So, I suggest you invest in two air purifiers with carbon filters. Place one in your living and dining room area, and one near your bedrooms. Although we breave in toxins everyday, you don't need an abundance. This is the only disadvantage that I see.
The advantage of a heavily traveled street is the constant visiblity which reduces car thefts, and someone breaking into your home. If it is not well lit, install motion detector lights where needed.
With the heavy traffic someone is bound to see something, and the thief knows this and does not want to be seen either.I am going to buy a house on a main road where is really busy all the time, please advise me disadvantages?
One more thing to consider...
Over the past several years, lenders were not differentiating between homes located on busy streets and those not. So comparable properties used to establish value for homes on busy streets could be - and often were - from quieter parts of a neighborhood.
So what happened? Investors purchased homes in the less desirable area - on the busy street - and pulled equity out by getting appraisals comparing those homes to the quieter part of the neighborhood. But common sense tells you people pay more to live on an inner street. As the market slowed, those over-valued, over-leveraged homes flooded into foreclosure at a faster rate than homes located on quieter streets. (Drive through any neighborhood and you'll see empty houses not being cared for are almost always on the busier streets in the neighborhood. Not always, but more often than not.)
Lenders have corrected the practice that allowed this to happen. Appraisers must now select comparable properties that are on busy streets to establish value of homes on busy streets. It's not only harder to get loans, but you'll find the values are falling faster on these homes than on others.
Unless you're getting the bargain to end all bargains, stay away from the uncertain value of a home located on a busy street until home values fall back to earth.I am going to buy a house on a main road where is really busy all the time, please advise me disadvantages?
All of the above, plus resale could be bad. Walk away, IMO.
You can mitigate the noise with sound resistant windows. One advantage is crime is usually lower on a well-lit road. The real disadvantage is the danger to kids and pets.
I grew up on a very busy street in Chicago, and I made it! :D
Your prop value may be 10-25% less than other comparable homes on a non busy street.
You already said it...busy all the time. Will you be able to back out of your driveway to go to work? Were you planning to let the kids or the dog outside? And noise.
obviously street noise
backing out of your driveway can be tricky
police and ambulance sirens at all times of the day and night
not being able to let your kids out to ride bikes on sidewalks
Enjoy the constant sound of traffic and the inevitable sirens from fire trucks and cop cars and ambulances--not to mention the car crashes you can hear.
You will also need to be able to get in and out of your driveway--a circular one would help.
Got kids? Better have a fenced back yard and tell them they can ONLY go there, not in the front unless you are out there with them. Ditto any pets.
If they decide to expand lanes, you could have even less setback.
Probably more, but already I'm not interested.

I have a group job interview at aeropostale and I need advise on how to prepare?
I am new to fashion and clothing stores and any advise on how to impress the manager and what I need to know would be very helpful. Thanks!I have a group job interview at aeropostale and I need advise on how to prepare?
Well, since it's a group interview, you want to stand out from the crowd. Make sure you are dressed nicely, but also fashionably (since this is a clothing store). Your hair should be clean and kept in a nice style, nothing ';too much'; or over the top, just conservative. No strong cologne or anything like that, just something subtle. Make sure you are talkative, approachable, and likeable. Have a good attitude and always be polite to the employer. Have a good/interesting reason for wanting to work there, they always seem to ask that.
Good luck. :)

What books would you advise me to read?
I have a whole month off and i have absolutely nothing to do as I saved my whole salary.
I love fiction and get bored with a book that can't keep me hooked from page 1.
I hate this horor and thriller stuff. And im not a fan of reading the harry potter books.What books would you advise me to read?
';Tuesdays with Morrie'; by Mitch Albom
..or anything by Anne RiceWhat books would you advise me to read?
well i would suggest books that E.d Baker wrote
My favorite book is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. He also wrote The Three Musketeers. The language can be tedious, but both are excellant books. The first will hook you moreso than the latter.
I also like any of the Poirot mysteries by Agatha Christie, and only a few of her Miss Marple ones, but again, good reading.
I also enjoy fantasy books, such as those by Robert Jordan and David and Leigh Eddings. These authors wrote series, so you have something like eleven good-sized books from Jordan and ten to thirteen smallish from the Eddings, if you include the two books that sum things up.
I am currently re-reading Lord of the Rings again.
This series is very good Left Behind by Tim Lehaye and Jerry Jenkins.
two words Slaughter-House Five by Kurt Vonnegut. i think its three words im not sure but that was something else. my fav. book of all time. the world according to garp was probably my second. good luck on your book hunting. and there are plenty good books... Clockwork Orange, and anything by Kurt Vonnegut. RIP
Barbara Erskine , if you are interested in historical novels with a twist, I found most of her books great. Even considering writing my own if you may want to read it some day!
Also I find any self help books that may improve the way your brain works....like Cosmic Ordering. We all are pretty individual when it comes to books, so why not go to the library and see what attracts you. You may be drawn to a book/books that you were meant to read.
Good luck and enjoy your time off from the daily grind.
great list at new free books.
My favorite books are The Swiss Family Robinson and Island of the Blue Dolphins. Both are pretty much about the same thing, being stranded on a deserted island, but the first is about a shipwrecked family, and the second is about a girl whose entire tribe leaves and doesn't know she isn't with them. They are really alot better than they sound, I promise!
Any of the Fizz and Buchanan series - start one and you'll read all nine, I will personally guarantee it. Absolutely gripping from the first word to the last, packed with great characters particularly Fizz and Buchanan who are totally adorable. I promise you - you'll bless this day!
1. shadow of the wind
2. kite runner
3. snow flower and secret fan
4. eleven minutes
5. veronica decides to die
6. the last Templar
7. mysery
try earth inspector series. old skool. waaaaay fiction and educational too. loved it when i was a kid.
Pamela by Samuel Richardson.An old book , first published in 1741.It will keep you hooked from page 1 and leave you with a sigh.
Read it and you will recommend it to all people you know.
I suggest you read Jostein Gaarder book such as Sophie's World or The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho if you into philosophy. Do you like historical fiction? if you like it, you could read some of Orhan Pamuk (nobel prize winner 2006) book such as My name is Red or The White Castle. The Historian from Elizabeth Koztova also worth reading. it's about Vlad Tepes the Dracula.
Agatha Christie's book are also what I recommended. she wrote a ton of great book, especially with Poirot. choose The Big Four, And Then There Were None, Sad Cypress, or Mystery of Sytles. You can also read Curtain, but please after you read another Poirot story...
';The Master and Margarita'; by Mikhail Bulgakov. It will change your life.
';One Hundred Years Of Solitude'; or ';Love In The Time Of Cholera'; by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. He is amazing.
I think the Joseph Campbell books are a good starting point since they highlight universal themes. I would start with ';the power of Myth';
I also like ';Zorba the Greek';
if you like Philosophy I would read ';ecce homo'; Nietzsche, or a general college text on Morality which would introduce you to many different thinkers and many theories.
My favorite non-fiction books- modern wise -come mostly from Crichton and Grisham. I think I read 12 of Grisham's books in Iraq in between missions. I enjoy the characters.
Lucky you... you've the time to sit back and enjoy your reading.
If I was even close to your liking with books, email or IM though my profile and I can suggest more. I LOVE books.

Both are pretty much about the same thing, being stranded on a deserted island, but the first is about a shipwrecked family, and the second is about a girl whose entire tribe leaves and doesn't know she isn't with them. They are really alot better than they sound, I promise!
Any of the Fizz and Buchanan series - start one and you'll read all nine, I will personally guarantee it. Absolutely gripping from the first word to the last, packed with great characters particularly Fizz and Buchanan who are totally adorable. I promise you - you'll bless this day!

try earth inspector series. old skool. waaaaay fiction and educational too. loved it when i was a kid.
Pamela by Samuel Richardson.An old book , first published in 1741.It will keep you hooked from page 1 and leave you with a sigh.
Read it and you will recommend it to all people you know.
I suggest you read Jostein Gaarder book such as Sophie's World or The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho if you into philosophy. Do you like historical fiction? if you like it, you could read some of Orhan Pamuk (nobel prize winner 2006) book such as My name is Red or The White Castle. The Historian from Elizabeth Koztova also worth reading. it's about Vlad Tepes the Dracula.
Agatha Christie's book are also what I recommended. she wrote a ton of great book, especially with Poirot. choose The Big Four, And Then There Were None, Sad Cypress, or Mystery of Sytles. You can also read Curtain, but please after you read another Poirot story...
';The Master and Margarita'; by Mikhail Bulgakov. It will change your life.
';One Hundred Years Of Solitude'; or ';Love In The Time Of Cholera'; by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. He is amazing.
I think the Joseph Campbell books are a good starting point since they highlight universal themes. I would start with ';the power of Myth';
I also like ';Zorba the Greek';
if you like Philosophy I would read ';ecce homo'; Nietzsche, or a general college text on Morality which would introduce you to many different thinkers and many theories.
My favorite non-fiction books- modern wise -come mostly from Crichton and Grisham. I think I read 12 of Grisham's books in Iraq in between missions. I enjoy the characters.
Lucky you... you've the time to sit back and enjoy your reading.
If I was even close to your liking with books, email or IM though my profile and I can suggest more. I LOVE books.
What's the best advise for a beginner on a street/sport bike?
I am going to get a Ninja 250R and I want to hear what are some good things to follow when riding a bike for the first time. I will be riding mostly on freeways and highways. So any feedback is appreciated! I will also be checking this book out: The Complete Idiot鈥檚 Guide to Motorcycles, 3rd editionWhat's the best advise for a beginner on a street/sport bike?
1. Always wear gear.
2. Make sure you warm up your bike before you start riding, I also have a 2008 250r. If you don't warm it up it will die once you give it some throttle so its not really advice but whatever.
3. Don't try to split lanes so early, if theres an open space its guaranteed an idiot driver will ram into it without giving signal.
4. I would say replace the exhaust, the stock one is too quiet and people will not hear you coming.
5. Be aware of your surroundings and be alert for all the soccer moms in huge suvs / old people / my mom / etc.
6. Keep a large space between you and the car in front of you so you have enough space to brake hard, swerve or just stop at a red light. This space should be large enough for 1.5 - 2 cars to fit at least, so expect idiots to invade your cushion without warning.
7. Freeway riding is relativity easy because you just hold the throttle, City driving is much harder because of the traffic and stopping and pedestrians, etc. (especially in LA)
8. Btw, the 250r has a 1000 mile break in period so you shouldn't ride on the freeway before then...
9. Always signal and make sure to turn off your signal. Most bikes will not turn off the indicator by themselves so if you keep your light on other people will think you are about to turn and merge into your lane.
10 I would stay away from group rides consisting of more than 2 riders, especially if they are more experienced and will go faster than you are willing to / have the ability to go.What's the best advise for a beginner on a street/sport bike?
Also read ';Proficient Motorcycling';, by David Hough. Once you have taken your riding course, obtained your license, and ridden enough to start to feel comfortable on the bike, watch out. That is a point at which many riders have accidents. They start to feel like they are getting it, and their guard drops.
Get in the habit of constant alertness, scanning your mirrors and watching traffic half a mile ahead. Don't follow anything you can't see through, and ride for open space, trying to avoid riding beside other drivers, instead keeping the spaces clear on either side.
hi
from my experience, i practiced on very quiet roads where i know not many cars come through to start with, when i feel more confident, i starting to go little bit more busy roads.
then once my confident grows, i starting to go on freeways/highways.
make sure that you are prepared, take mobile with you and phone number for nearest garage services, just in case 250r breaks down and get know the area or take a map so they able to come to you easier and quicker.
That 250 is a great little bike, good choice. I used to call it a sheep in wolf's clothing til I took a closer look. It will pretty much destroy an 883 sportster and get 70mpg doing it.
The main thing is do alot of riding and get some muscle memory so that your reactions become automatic. But the best advice is to ride like the whole world is out to get you. I rarely ride in traffic and not have several instances of a car doing something stupid that requires a defensive action from me. So common I don't even call them close calls any more.
Learn to spot potential dangers
Someone sitting in a car parked beside the road, expect them to just pull out in front of you.
Kids playing next to the road, expect one of them to run out blindly.
MAKE YOURSELF SEEN! Never assume that drivers can see you.
There are lots of other things to watch for but just think ahead and you should be ok.
The highways not a great place to start riding. Practice like crazy. You always need to watch out what's going on around you, people in cars aren't looking out for motorcycles. Always pay attention.
250r is not really a sport bike, more like a moped lol
dress warm and go slow around corners.if you are too fast for an on/off ramp go to the next one.
Don't crash on the highways. Or at all. That's the best advice there is!blushed

What professions would you advise for a Tauren Druid in WoW?
Hi, I used to play the burning crusade, just got to 70 - but then, foolishly I bought gold and was banned.
Consequently, I have made a new account, learnt from my misjudgements and mistakes. I'm curious as to how WoW is ever evolving.
Is Herbalism/Alchemy still a useful profession when one reaches the depths of leveling?What professions would you advise for a Tauren Druid in WoW?
Tauren's got the racial for herbing, meaning sure you can level it faster.
Herbing goes with alch, and inscripting mainly now (inscript only for wrath)
Herb / Alch i lvled with my priest, and it was a pretty good combo, till end game, alch (not herbing) makes almost nothing (even as mute master making epic gems, i only really can make 110g a day from 1 gem (rarely do i ever get a 2 proc from mute master). Flasks take 1 frost lotus which you might only find 2-5 a day given you're lucky, the flasks go for 25g a pop, while 1 lotus goes for (my server) 60g a pop, sucks huh? Alch endgame won't really give you any money, but the new RENEWABLE flask that gives nice nice stats and lasts an hour is a nice perk too.
Professions also can heavily rely on what class you are too.
I wouldn't say just cause u have the racial get the profession, but it's not bad to take advantage of them either.What professions would you advise for a Tauren Druid in WoW?
All of the crafting professions offer some unique benefit late in the game. Herbalism/Alchemy is a fine choice imo.
Blacksmithing allows you to get two additional prismatic sockets for your gear.
Leatherworking gives you ';fur lining'; which is a powerful enchantment only leatherworkers get.
Tailoring has a couple of flying mounts and offer cloak embroidery (tailor only) and spellthread for pants.
Alchemy has unique alchemist only potions and can be a pretty good money maker.
Enchanting allows you to enchant your rings and is also a great money maker despite how expensive it can be to level.
Jewelcrafters get jewelcrafter only gems which they are allowed to use three of. Jewelcrafting can be a decent money maker if you have the right cuts and easy access to gems.
Inscriptions grants inscriptionist only shoulder enchants which again are quite powerful. It's not a cash cow but it can make steady income.
All of the gathering professions are clearly useful but these days they also grant a skill. Skinning grants critical strike rating, mining gives stamina, and herbalism gives you a instant cast HoT which can be done while stealthed or shifted.
Personally I feel that there's no 'wrong' choice for your professions since they all have substantial benefits. When theorycrafted most classes and specs will find that the actual benefit of any given profession to their class is generally nearly equal with small variations here and there.
Engineering is till mostly PvP utility and convenience though.
Herbalism Is a must really, I had leatherworking on it at skill level 450 but there is no money to be made with it anymore. Herbalism is good especially in later levels since you wont need to dismount from birdform to gather it. i would agree with enchanting, its pretty easy to level aswell. some herbs in lvl 50 areas go for 1gold a piece.
Alchemy has become profitable again now that you can transmute epic gems for the price of an eternal and a superior gem.
It's useful but depends on what you want some professions help you level or earn you gold. What i recommend for a Tauren Druid is that you be a Enchanter you make tons of gold and is hugely helpful with raising your stats on your gear. Then maybe you could take alchemy or herbalism with that. Just make sure you become an Enchaner or you won't regret it.
I have been a Tauren Druid since release and have always been herb/enchant. Good money.

When did your doctor advise you about your twin pregnancy?
I am 7 weeks pregnant with twins. I have had two ultrasounds and scheduled for a third one next week. Other than telling me what is going on in the ultrasound, my ob/gyn has not discussed or advised me on nutrition, care, risks and what to avoid during pregnancy. Is that normal? Did your doctor talk to you about all this in the first appointment or did he wait until he was satisfied with the progress of the developing fetus? Thanks!When did your doctor advise you about your twin pregnancy?
I am 23 weeks with twins, I found out on my first appointment with my obstetrician at 10 weeks and she didn't really talk to me about nutrition etc. She just told me that I definitely needed to be on a pregnancy multivitamin to ensure I get enough of vitamins and minerals for the bubs.
Other than that, she didn't seem to think there was that much more of a risk with the pregnancy other than the early onset of labour which we talked about at the next visit.
Congratulations by the way!!

I just want some advise of updating my speaker system in my car?
i am thinking about pioneer system, 2 amps, 2 ch and a 4ch(not sure about watts, but it a honda civic coupe 07), 6 speakers, and 2 tens subwoofers. Any advise to find great deals and quality work.I just want some advise of updating my speaker system in my car?
well pioneer is alright but i swear by rockford fosgate kicker and hifonic (hifonics for their amps) but its up to your ear what you like you can always find cheaper stuff on ebay look around and be sure not to get cheap sh*t like pyramid or pyleI just want some advise of updating my speaker system in my car?
I agree with shad..... It is up to your ear. Everyone likes a differsnt sound.
my advise if you getting to amps make sure you get a kinetik battery to replace your factory battery becasue factory batteries aren't made to support all that power especially too amp i would say get a hc800 to replace the back cap and a hc 1400 for the factory battery for the amp make sure you get a amp that's double the power of your subs and remember you buy cheap soun's you go get cheap sounds i recommend rockford pumch series amp and some kickers
Some things to know http://spkrbox1.spaces.live.com
Do some homework before you buy. Pioneer is not well known or liked for building quality amps. I'd advise Alpine or if you can spend a little more money, JL Audio has a really nice 6 channel amp out for 2008, and it's under $500.00 . Kicker or Jl are definate recommends, depending on the type of music you listen to. Kicker rocks for pounding, JL will give the nice clean tight bass for more contemporary tastes.
I would get Bose
Instead of running multiple amps, you might consider one 5 channel hybrid amp. The Memphis ';Baby Belle'; is a nice amp, JL Audio's 500/5 is a good choice also. If you want, email me and I'll help you find some good equipment and hunt down an installer for you.
www.crutchfield.com is the best site out there for audio products. i highly recommend it.

I could use some advise to help my children concentrate in class?
I have 3 school age children. A 4th Grader 1st, and Kindergarten. My older two have been bringing home notes saying that they are having difficulty concetrating in class. The 1st grader is all ready repeating the first grade and I don't want to see her fail again. She is the one that I worry about the most. She is very engergetic and loves to draw, according to her teacher she will draw every little detail of what she is drawing but when it comes to getting her class work done on time she is not motivated, talks to other kids and doesn't stay focused on what she is supposed to be doing. I try to tell her every morning to remember to concetrate but she is still getting these notes. Also her reading and word comprehension is not where it should be, hence her repeating the 1st grade. Any advice would be appreciated. Also my 4th grader has been getting notes too not as many but some. I am a single parent and I work long hours, would that have something to do with it?I could use some advise to help my children concentrate in class?
don't be hard on yourself...
first, request a meeting with the teachers- ask her to describe the distractibility, etc. Then schedule appointments with the pediatrician- have them evaluated medically (some of what you are describing COULD be ADHD...I don't like how quickly people jump to that, but you should definitely look into it)
Between the 2 you should find good resolutions for your children...stay in touch with the teachers and as silly as it sounds- really make sure the kids are eating right and getting a good amount of sleep (and trust me, I know ';quality time'; is hard to come by....develop a small routine with each child- 10 mins at bedtime- ';What was the best part or your day? worst part?'; and then share your answers too- this is something my son and I do every night)I could use some advise to help my children concentrate in class?
Maybe it is because your children are trying to act up to get attention. I have been having the same problem with my son, who is in 3rd grade. His father and I divorced 2 years ago and he is always moving, and has a new girlfriend every few months. When things are consistent, my son is fine, but I find that he gets distracted or irritated easily in class when something is going on. Try to talk to your children and spend as much time with them as possible. I know it is hard because you are soooo tireddd when you get home. Trust me I understand. Let them know that they are loved and you want them to do well in school. Start taking things away at home like t.v. or playing with friends until behavior improves. I asked the same question on here a while ago and someone suggested that to me and it has been working lately! Good luck.
Have them visually represent what they are learning. Visually represent stories, visually represent mathematical equations, etc.
They seem to be learning differently than the others.
Edit: oh, yeah, btw, I'm not a professional learning counselor/ advisor /whatever
I also, had a child that was not able to concentrate in class.
I decide to call the School and request that my child be tested to see if my child was being challenged enough in her class. I also, requested her to be tested for dyslexia. After the test the counselor realized that she was not being challenge , she was bored in class. she did not have dyslexia. Also, to help her concentrate during a test the Teacher would allow her to wear headphones. . I think that if there is a child that is having difficult in school concentrate this should be address to the child's family and have different test run for he/she so, this child gets help and not be consider a problem child. My child is happy now and so are her Teachers too. I hope this helps, good luckblushed
don't be hard on yourself...
first, request a meeting with the teachers- ask her to describe the distractibility, etc. Then schedule appointments with the pediatrician- have them evaluated medically (some of what you are describing COULD be ADHD...I don't like how quickly people jump to that, but you should definitely look into it)
Between the 2 you should find good resolutions for your children...stay in touch with the teachers and as silly as it sounds- really make sure the kids are eating right and getting a good amount of sleep (and trust me, I know ';quality time'; is hard to come by....develop a small routine with each child- 10 mins at bedtime- ';What was the best part or your day? worst part?'; and then share your answers too- this is something my son and I do every night)I could use some advise to help my children concentrate in class?
Maybe it is because your children are trying to act up to get attention. I have been having the same problem with my son, who is in 3rd grade. His father and I divorced 2 years ago and he is always moving, and has a new girlfriend every few months. When things are consistent, my son is fine, but I find that he gets distracted or irritated easily in class when something is going on. Try to talk to your children and spend as much time with them as possible. I know it is hard because you are soooo tireddd when you get home. Trust me I understand.

Does anyone have a corporate email address for Verizon to advise of bad customer service?
It took 2 1/2 weeks to finally get my residential internet service hooked up. I called customer service repeatedly to report that the service had not been established. The representatives would ask if they could check into it and call me back. No one ever called back. Finally, after 2+ weeks, a tech was sent out. He's the only one who fulfilled his commitment.Does anyone have a corporate email address for Verizon to advise of bad customer service?

Can someone please advise on whether taking a plane or coach to KL is more convenient?
Comparing cost, time taken and ease :) Thanks!Can someone please advise on whether taking a plane or coach to KL is more convenient?
1 ) If you have too many luggage . Advice not to take coach ! you need to '';carry in and out '; during Woodland also JB check point !
2 ) If you luggage is less than 15 kg for check in. hand carry allow one bag , max 7 kg. size 56 x 36 x 23 cm . NOT EVEN 1 kg exit allowance ! ( exit luggage charge as S$ 20.oo per kg ). Badge Air is Cheap and FAST !
3 ) If you going to KL Town . sample luggage . consider Taxi fare from Singapore Town area to Changi airport + KLIA to KL Town.Check in/out + 45 min fly hours. total 3 + hours. and by coach to reach KL Town is about 6 hours. Coach is better.Can someone please advise on whether taking a plane or coach to KL is more convenient?
first of all can I know you from where? everybody knows by plane are more convenient.....
If you around Malaysia, this depending on you, if you go for business better for you to go by plane because you can be more relax while waiting the time for meeting. time is more concern in here but of course anything better the prices are totally different.
but if you go for vacation that's means not in hurry, so more relax and you can see around the journey is by coach.
All depending on your time and what purposed you come down to Kuala Lumpur.
If you compare cost, time and ease, they begin to somewhat cancel one another out as the journey takes longer and longer so that it does not matter, as far as ';convenience'; is concerned ....So, for a short journey, a coach may be more suitable(cheaper and faster), but for a long journey, a plane may be more suitable ...the price of a coach ride catches up to that of a plane ticket - i.e. about the same cost, but faster. [specially so now that your have cheap fares by Air Asia]
The point of departure can also influence your decision, asa well as the number of pople in your group and amount of luggage, but you have not mention it, so the above answer is ';general';.
Edit : Spore %26lt;====%26gt; KL
If on business- plane =fast
If on leisure - train = fun
If on frequent trip - coach= not in a hurry
';convenience'; does not come into the equation, as every method has its own hassle. You take what is most ';suitable'; for your purpose.
Plane..
You have alot of choices
Airasia Changi airport-LCCT
Firefly Budget terminal-Subang airport
Jetstar/MH/SQ Changi airport-KLIA
Its more convenient as u can do internet checkin and be at the airport only 1.5hrs before departure and immigration here is a breeze.
Its super time saving cos only takes 55min to KL.
Ticket price ranges from $28.00 on a budget carrier to SGD291 on SQ/MH..
I'm hooked on taking flt because of convenience and time saving.
Cheers
