Most important/beneficial advise to a college grad?

Anything goesMost important/beneficial advise to a college grad?
Always remain ';teachable'; you STILL don't know it all. Listen, Listen, Listen, and don't believe everything you hear.Most important/beneficial advise to a college grad?
There are so many college grads that I have spoken to that are not even working in the field that they studied. College is very costly.





My most important and beneficial advise is to find employment in the field you studied.

Female needing urgent advise about my citroen saxo brakes?

i have been told that the reason my rear N/S brake is sticking is because there is a rubber thing missing on the caliper piston, the bloke did show me when he took my wheel off but i cant remember what he called it exactly. Anyway because this rubber bit is missing the piston part of the caliper has collected dust and other crap which is stopping it fully retracting when i take my foot off the brake. He then told me to repair this i would need a complete new caliper at a cost of 拢180, but since then i have been told that i shouldnt need a new brake caliper to sort out the problem because calipers can be overhauled and the rubber part most probably could be purchased from a dealer, Was the garage trying it on because im a female or will i really need to replace the whole caliper just because of this small rubber thing. Please help, my mot is due and it wont pass with these defective brakes, because today the brake has started grinding so there must be no lining left on the pads.Female needing urgent advise about my citroen saxo brakes?
sounds like pads there is no lining left on pads.that will have to be done for the mot.re the caliper that rubber seal is called a rubber boot for the piston.it wont retract if its full of dust and stuff.go to dealer see if they can sell you a boot.though they are usually in set .if they cant get you one a new calipers an option.180 quids about right.but shop around.try to get a boot first though.Female needing urgent advise about my citroen saxo brakes?
could i send you a photo of a caliper which points out the actual part thats missing, then i will know for sure that i do not need a new caliper and that the particular rubber in question can be purchased and added for my car to pass its mot on the 18th of this month, cheers, debs ;0)

Go to another garage and ask their advice, not all mechanicsare going to try and rip you off cos your a woman.





Ask some other women who you know, where they taken their cars.
well they have quoted about right to make the job easyer for them you could get a second hand caliper from a scrap yard at a third the price of a new one but this will still have to be changed for the old one and the brakes bleeding garages are out to make money if you suspect them of unfair work contact trading standards and they will help you every council has a trading standards devision
all rubber sheath type things are designed to stop leaks.the problem comes when theyre not put on properly.
don't believe them the whole calliper does not need replacing. a calliper overhaul kit can be bought. the piston can be freed as long as the correct lubricant is used (any decent mechanic would know this). If you don't use your car every day the grating could be rust on the discs.If you do use it every day get it checked soon because if they are worn down the pads need changing before they ruin the discs. I hate it when people get robbed by garages it gets all us mechanics a bad name. In fact if you lived close enough to me I would fix it for the price of the parts!!!
Brake callipers can be overhauled and seals replaced, however, unless you know somebody who knows how to do it for you, you'll probably find the cost will be about the same as fitting a new calliper due to the labour charges.

  • I need some advise. I think my kitten has a cold but I'm not sure. It could?

    be allergies too. She is 5 months old. Gray with black tiger stripes. She sneezes quite a bit. At least 3-4 x a day. But her eyes aren't filled with puss and she doesn't seem to have any problems breathing. Also her nose looks clear.


    Do you think its a cold or allergies?I need some advise. I think my kitten has a cold but I'm not sure. It could?
    Probably an upper respiritory infection, common in cats. Vet can give antibiotics for this.I need some advise. I think my kitten has a cold but I'm not sure. It could?
    NO! Do you freak out every time you sneeze cuz you think you have a cold, even thou your nose isnt running? no..everyone sneezes, your cat is fine.
    this sounds like a common case of uppper respitory infection it wont cost alot to get it fixed but if you dont take her to see a vet she could die so take her asap
    It could definitely be allergies. My kitten had URI's for nearly a month. He was a shelter kitty and he caught it there. After they cleared up, he continued to sneeze several times a day, usually in the morning -- just like me.





    It's good that you provided a complete summary so we know her eyes and lungs are clear. If she starts to play less or go off her food have a vet check her out.





    Oh, and I started dusting the wood floors more often since he sniffed up any lint, dirt, cat hair, etc. during his explorations.
    Allergies ,if it is just sneezing I wouldn't worry she will be fine. If you are worried try some baby Benadryl. Give it by weight.
    If she has no eye or nasal discharge, it's probably allergies. Strange as it sounds there are cats with hay fever, or maybe the air in your house is too dry. I'd run her to the vet just to make sure, though.
    well, I common way to find out if their sick is to check their litter box for irregularities, are they throwing up more than usual, are they eating or drinking less, and is their nose dry. If some of those symptoms are there, I would call a vet and explain and get advice whether it should be taken in, sneezing is very normal, my cats do it all the time. If its excessive, then tell the vet that as well. If the cat is an outdoor cat, then I would definitely take it to the vet, especially if it hasn't got any needles.
    Cats don't get colds. The cold virus is human-specific. How about taking this kitten to a vet to be checked out? It sounds like she has an upper respiratory infection that will not go away without antibiotics. And really - how can anyone here magically tell if she's sick or she's allergic to something? That's what VETS are for.

    I am finding it difficult to concentrate while studying. Also advise me how to increase my memory power?

    I am student of 8th grade and I really want to improve myself in studiesI am finding it difficult to concentrate while studying. Also advise me how to increase my memory power?
    It's easy. You need to simply cut out the distractions. If you like to do your homework on your computer, it'll never work out, because you'll be tempted to check your myspace account, your email, and all the fun stuff people do on the net. If you try to do your homework in a room with a television, the tv is going to grab your attention.


    Let's put it this way. School work is a little on the dull side, and sometimes it's a pain to have to do homework. Your brain is going to find every excuse it can to go do something more entertaining. It's hard to focus.


    You need to go to an environment that will limit the distractions . You need a quiet office or desk area... no tv, no radio, no internet, no video games, and close the curtains, because looking outside is a big time waster. It's hard to find an environment like this, which is why the library is such a cool place to go. The library is quiet, and has plenty of desks to study from. Spend a good hour in a library and you'll accomplish more in that hour than an entire week at home.





    Sometimes it's helpful to bring a friend to the library, although some friends can be a distraction, so choose wisely.I am finding it difficult to concentrate while studying. Also advise me how to increase my memory power?
    dont eat meat.It is very difficult to concentrate on studies.if you constanly eat meat. Eat ladys finger. to increase your memory power.and also solve sudoku puzzles daily it will really help you to increase your memory power.
    If I cannot get interested in or remember anything of a study it is time to..... become OBCESSED with it. All known time from wake to sleep will be spent going over material, reviewing it in my head during breaks, and getting back to it quick if I'm distracted. I take time out for treat time and sleeping. Hobbies are on hold until it clicks with me.
    There is a l0t of solutions you could study with high voice this helps a lot . Also you could make a paper with most important idea in each sentence or paragraph . You have to eat well during exams that make you more effective . There is an idea to make some records of what r u studying if it need to be learned by heart you could make a record and listen to it a lot until you study by heart .You could increase you memory power buy doing tests when you r walking or driving or any thing like trying to remember the numbers of a car you have pass through it from 1 min. that's really works .

    Why do they advise not to mate your dog in its 1st heat?

    Because if you do the dog is not developed enough and you might end up with mutated babies and thats sad to see.Why do they advise not to mate your dog in its 1st heat?
    It's the equivalent of a 12-13 year old human having a baby. They've gone through puberty, but still aren't physically mature and there's a much higher risk for complications.





    Also, at that age the dog is still to young to have any sort of genetic health certifications (OFA/CERF), so you could be passing along genetic health problems.


    .Why do they advise not to mate your dog in its 1st heat?
    Should a girl get pregnant on her first period? Hopefully not. A dog goes into heat around six months. A dog that young is not done growing and having puppies at such a young age can be damaging to their health. A dog is not fully mature and ready to have puppies until they are around two years old.
    Because at 6 months they are still puppies. Wild canines don't breed that early. Why? Because at 6 months you aren't dominant to ANYONE. Secondly at 6 months they aren't old enough or fully grown from the various screening and tests they need.





    OFA CERF PennHIP BAER etc
    A dog must be at least 2 years old to have the proper health testing done to breed.





    along with not breeding in the first heat, it's not a good idea to breed back to back heats.

    Try using the Miscrosoft shortcut :





    Windows Logo Key + '; L ';Please can someone advise me on my laptop?
    Press the power button halfway and this will put your computer in the ';sleep'; mode. However, before doing this, make sure you ';password enable'; your laptop so that it requires a password when it boots up or it ';wakes up'; from standby/sleep mode. Without typing the appropriate password, the keyboard and mouse pad are both disabled.
    if your using XP or Vista you can

    Prepare your body (smell, appearance and stature-confident posture).





    Do not constantly stare at her, however when you do make eye contact, do not look away (let her look away first). If she does not look away and it's starts to quickly become uncomfortable, this is the time to smile slowly and if she smiles back you, say or mouth ';hi.';





    DO NOT base the way she feels about you on her reaction. Girls can hide many different emotions. Understand every girl wants to be admirerd by everyone... even the dweebs (secretly).

    What is your advise on the best way to get a job?

    i recently started looking for a job after many failed attemps and i just wanted advise on filling out applications, going through interviews and making sure i get that call backWhat is your advise on the best way to get a job?
    Be aggressive, positive, and pro-active. Don't just fill out the applications. Come with a complete, neat resume. Be neat. Be positive. Be energetic. Smile. And when you turn in an application, wait a week and CALL THEM. Let them know how interested you are. Let them know you are thinking of THEM. If they have not finished the process and passed you over, then call them again later. This is one of the biggest mistakes people do. They drop off an app or resume, and then disappear. Meanwhile, someone else is being pro-active, calling, and making themselves known. THOSE people get the jobs.





    Good luck!

    pls no negative comment


    whenever i run with the basketball to do a layup sometime it fallsoff my hand when i run too fast. can anyone suggest anyway to improve my dribbling and what tricks can i do?Basketball help good advise pls?
    All it takes is a LOT of practice. Just try drills like slowly jogging while dribbling the ball. After a while you can speed up a little... keep getting faster and faster. You can also stand still and do small dribbles (close to the ground) and go around each leg with both your left and right arms. Hope that makes sense. But in general... just keep practicing!

    I have lost something very important, I hope someone can advise me on this puzzling problem.?

    I am a middle-aged male who 4 yrs ago had a series of radiation treatments for prostate cancer. I am happy that the treatments worked for me, but I have lost almost half the length of my erect penis, from 7'; down to now about 5';. This is very puzzling to me, and distressing to my spouse. If anyone has had a similar problem, or has heard of this before, please let me know. Serious answers only, pleaseI have lost something very important, I hope someone can advise me on this puzzling problem.?
    This answer may sound flippant but it is not intended that way.





    You are a middle aged man who has survived cancer and whose penis still works. Be grateful - very grateful. Your wife can do just fine with what you have. I'm guessing that it is actually you who is really concerned about this because I really doubt that a middle aged wife would be all that focused on the penis length of her middle aged husband.





    Don't sweat the small stuff because things could always be much worse.I have lost something very important, I hope someone can advise me on this puzzling problem.?
    Your lucky you can get one, after radiation treatments you are done in that dept. You should call your Dr and let him know whats happening. I hope your are in remission.

    It's probably bad advice in this market. Investors should be holding on for a while longer (unless they need that money for some reason), and then think about buying when events warrant. We'll hit a bottom sometime soon, and that will be a big opportunity. Is it wise for a talk radio host to advise listeners to ';sell, sell ,sell';?

    The patch sounds great, but in reality it's much more of a hassle than it's worth. Many women complain of nausea and headaches, skin irritation, mood swings, weight gain, etc.


    It sticks to your cloths and sheets. It leaves dirty sticky patches on your skin, and has been known to fall off.


    You may want to consider the nuvaring. It's highly effective, super easy to use, you can't feel it nor does it fall out. It has the lowest dose of hormone available. I used it for years and never had any problems with it.

    Im in the UK I got told that the girls make alot of money but thats mostly from the private lap dances. Upto £200 a night. Ring up one of your local clubs and ask them Im sure they would be happy to help.
    Just get your baps out and prepare to be leered at by disgusting drunks.
    you dont have to or want to do that
    Different clubs have different rules depending on the law of the local council. London hous efees can be anything up to £75 a night. You can do table dancing which involves dancing AT the table in front of a guy and his friends or a lap dance which involves sitting on him and 'grinding'. Hours generally range from 7pm until 2 or 3am depending on the opening hours of the club. Most clubs will not just accept pole dancers as they want to make more money from lap/table dances.





    If you have your money head on for the night, you can sweet talk guys into taking a lap dance, you can make anything up to £1000 especially if you manage to get a guy into a VIP to get sloshed on champers. But they're very few and far between.





    I think the lapdancing business has gone downhill in the last few years and after being on the scene myself for the last 8 years I'm not earning half as much as I used to compared from 2000-2007. You MUST have an open mind because Eastern Europeans generally take customers for more thana dance - and so do some British girls. But just remember if you have a brain you don't need to loweer yourself to that standard. A girl with brains always makes the money.





    If you want pole dance training, PM me and I will give you all the info you need. If you are local to Kent/London I can give you a personal one to one session to get you started.

    It's like everyone said, depends on the club. Yes, you can make a lot of money at it. But you have to ask yourself to what length are you willing to go???? Will you lap dance for the $200 and other things for more? And for what reason are you doing it? Do you know how hard it is to get out once you start? These are just a few questions you need to know the answer to. Take care.
    its not about having too, when someone offers you 200 quid to lap dance, you will and when they offer 350 for a *******, you will

    As long as your kid isnt in high school and you are in your 50s.... no im totally kidding. yes, this is okay as long as you are able to maintain a profesional relationship in case she says no!
    yeah, probably. Ask her out when you come to pick up your son for a dental appointment. lol jk

    Need some advise with dealing with a debt collector?

    A friend told me to try yahoo answers to get some advise on this. I just recently got a call from a debt collector inregards of a capital 1 bill i had in 2000, he told me i owe 9k, where it was 3200 in 2000. I is tring to set me up with a payment plan of 200 dollars a month for 45 months. What i am having a hard time with is the extra6k seems fishy I have not made a argeement with him and he has been calling all day. He did tell me friday if i havent made a disision by monday he will have no choice to file a law suit. He also included the state of michigan where i live they may look at is a felony due to theaft not intending to pay back.. any one been in this situation, I do not want a felony on my record but i dont think it is right for the 9kNeed some advise with dealing with a debt collector?
    The statute of limitations on collecting this debt in Michigan is 6-years from the date of first delinquency.





    If that time has passed, they can still sue you but when it gets to court all you have to do is show that the S.O.L. has expired and it will be dismissed.





    As far as the extra money is involved, this is due to interest and late fees tacked on by the collection company.





    Check your records and make sure that the 6-years has passed and the next time they call simply tell them that the S.O.L. has expired and to not call you again.Need some advise with dealing with a debt collector?
    number one, the bill is still accumulating interest from the last time you paid it. Let me explain to you how it works. The credit card company gives you 180 days ( 6 months) to pay the account before it is charged off. For those 6 months. every payment that you miss, or are late the company charges you interest plus a late payment fee. after the 6 months they only charge you the interest. You may be able to ask for a settlement on this account. Another thing unless you give him permission to contact you all day everyday he can only call you once a day every 7 days. The only way that he can file a law suit against you is if he is an attorneys office ( ask him) if he is not let him know it is against the law to state that unless it is true. Again he is lying to you no state can take out a felony against you for not paying your bills. In fact if he is telling you all these false things you can advise him that you will file a law suit against him for misleading you. I would advise him that you will be recording his/her conversations and will seek legal advice if he keeps lying.
    Ooh, he's playing hardball and stepped over the line. Your debt is a civil case. There's no criminal offense.





    If you haven't paid on this card since 2000, it's been accumulating interest, late fees, and overlimit fees.





    Truth is that this debt is close to falling off your credit report. It's also past the 6 year statute of limitations for Michigan. He could take you to court but you can use the statute of limitations as an affirmative defense. You could just sent him a drop dead letter. He would probably sell the debt off to another collector and you'd have to go thru it again.





    Or you could do the moral thing and pay the debt. He'd probably settle for about $2,000 in a lump sum.
    Two things:


    1. Tell him to stop calling you--that's harassment


    2. Call his bluff. He's trying to get you rattled and make some agreement.





    Another thing I have used is to tell them that you are recording the call and ask them to give you their name rank and serial # if you know what I mean. If they think you are recording things they will pull back. Try it, I'll bet they are recording things on their end.
    He is lying. The state will not look at this as a felony because it isn't. You will not go to jail. Don't worry about that. He broke the law just saying that. Let him know you know he is a liar.





    Make him prove you owe the money. Demand it. It's your right. It may well not be you. These folks seek out people with the same name and try to get them to pay other peoples debt. If he can't prove the debt is yours and the numbers are correct then tell him to shove off.





    The 3200 may well be interest and penalties, but you can bargain that away. His agency bought this debt for pennies on the dollar so they will settle for less. Offer him 1600.





    His threat of suit is also a lie. They could sue you. They probably won't. If they do then look at it this way. They'll sue and win because you owe the money. The court will set up a judgement against you and require you to pay so much every month. What do you have - a payment plan. Unless the other folks here are right about the SOL. Even so, if this debt is yours, you should pay it. Not 9k, though.





    Stay tough with this guy. Remember, if his lips are moving then he is probably lying. He will say anything, including breaking the fair debt collections practices act (which he's already done) to get you emotional. He say anything to get you to send him food money instead of buying food.





    DO NOT give him electronic access to your accounts. DO NOT give him post dated checks. DO get everything in writing then keep it forever. DO NOT talk to him more than once a day.
    Spiffman is correct. If the debt is past sol, tell them to take a hike. Credit card debt isa civil matter. There are no debtors' prisons in the US!
    1st of all...the statute of limitations on an open ended account is 6 years in Michigan...so unless you have made a payment (which restarts the SOL) the SOL is up and he is just threatening you in the hopes you will pay...





    You can settle for less than the $9k you owe (yes, they are hitting you for interest and fees, hoping you will pay but most likely they will setlle for less than the original $3200 you owed in 2000).





    Remember they know if they push too hard you can always file bankruptcy and have the debt eliminated, so EVERY time they threaten you threaten them right back. You need to negotiate a settlement, not just a payment plan.





    Your first line of defense is a Debt Validation...this is where you are asking them to account for EVERY PENNY of the debt they are trying to bill you for. Here is a link that explains in detail how to request a debt validation. Time is on your side here, the debt is old and that makes it more difficult to validate. http://www.creditinfocenter.com/rebuild/鈥?/a>





    IF they can validated the debt then you need to negotiate a settlement, not just a payment arrangment. You need to negotiate for less than you owe and for a ';payment in full'; placed on your credit report (or even a removal if possible).





    What ever you do, do not make a payment until you do the debt validation...this will automatically validate the debt in the laws eyes and it restarts the SOL.





    Good Luck
    I used to work for a debt collection agency and it is extremely difficult to fight such matters. You had a bill you didn't pay, which you admitted in your question. The only option is to ask them if there is any way they can lower that amount and to stress that lowing it is going to make it easier for you to pay it. But 7 years is a long time to go without paying and I doubt they are going to reduce it.





    I believe that the amount is likely correct. The debt collector purchased your debt and now they are paying staff to track you down, get you to pay it, and also making you pay for all the other people that declared bankruptcy and screwed them out of payment.
    The $9,000 is probably due to several late fees and the interest that has accumulated on the original $3,200. I assume that you do owe the original amount at least, so you should demand to see the paperwork regarding the $9,000 so that you can determine if the fees are accurate. I have been in a similar situation, and I can tell you that while this is serious, you don't need to be extremely worried. He is throwing that stuff about a law suit and prosecuting you for a felony in there to freak you out and to get to you do what he really wants, which is for you to pay the money.





    That said, you really need to get this take ncare of. I would recommend trying to negotiate the debt down to a more manageable amount. They will almost always do this if you agree to either pay all of the money at once or agree to pay a lesser amount back in a shorter period of time. Remember, the only way this guy makes money is if you pay, so he needs you to pay, that is his job. When you are negotiating with him, be firm, don't let him rattle you and state your terms clearly.





    Whatever agreement you make with him, get it in writing. When you make payments to them, do it in a way that can be recorded easily, such a check or a money order directed to them. Keep copies of everything. Once the money is paid off, ask them to send you a letter that states that the debt has been paid in full, and to update that information with all 3 credit agencies. It is important to get that agreement and to keep track of your payments to them because they have a nasty habit of trying to add even more fees on after you have paid the agreed to amount. Also, you may need that letter showing paid in full to send to the credit agencies yourself to get your records updated.





    I could go on and on - I have been in this situation myself and it really sucks. You have limited options, but you do have options. Good luck!

    Need some advise on Rail Travel as a Uni Student...?

    Im planning on travelling from Lincoln Central to Norwich by train, every weekend 3 weeks in a row. I am planning on getting a young persons rail card to save a bit of money, but I would like some advise what people think is the best way to go about this, because a lot of my student loan is eaten by this travel so im eager to spend as little money as possible, and for anyone who says dont travel so often - well thats not an option for me! Travelling by coach isnt viable for me as its a long journey and i'd like to read or set my laptop up and i get travel sick on busses cars and coaches looking down lol.





    If anyone knows of any better discount cards, or websites to buy tickets this would also be very helpful!





    Thanks! xxNeed some advise on Rail Travel as a Uni Student...?
    The cheapest fares are available if you


    1) book in advance (a specific train and time)


    2) travel at off-peak times


    3) use a railcard





    Check with the rail company which goes on that route to find which times are cheapest.





    checking online is the best way, the staff in the ticket offices usually want to sell you a more expensive ticket, so you need to insist on the cheapest fares if you go that way.Need some advise on Rail Travel as a Uni Student...?
    I personally dont use the trains anymore due to ultra rip offs, use National Express coaches they are FAR cheaper. A ticket from Northallerton (40 miles above york) to london costs 拢120 using the train, whereas using National Express fun fayres it cost me 拢4!
    young persons railcard gives you a third off and as far as I am aware that is the best train discount you can get.





    Sometimes if you buy tain tickets online (assuming you know when you know exactly when you want to travel) - then that can save you a little bit of money as well

    i need to go to college in september but i have no idea what i want to do and has anyone got any advise?Need some advise on what to do next,i want to go to college an learn somthing but i dont know what.any ideas?
    Well, I guess that would really depend on you... If you are a people person and enjoying helping others, might want to lean toward something like nursing, if you are totally into money, might want to think about taking business, accounting, something along that line. If you have an interest in building things, drafting, architecture, and so on... If you just really don't know, why not take general classes, and kinda look around, and see what you seem to have a passion for. Tc good luck...Need some advise on what to do next,i want to go to college an learn somthing but i dont know what.any ideas?
    go to a junior college with an undeclared major. you'll get your general ed out of the way and get to explore different classes relating to different careers. you really don't need to decide what you want to do before you go to college, most people change their mind after the first year or two anyway.

    Can anyone advise me on laptops/notebooks please?

    It is a choice between a Samsung Intel core duo, 1 GB Ram 80 GB hard drive and a Samsung core 2 duo 1 GB ram 100GB hard drive.





    I understand there is a difference between Intel core duo and core 2 duo. I want to know what the difference is, pros and cons and/or which would be best for storing 4000 karaoke (CD+G) tracks and playing them through a PA system.





    Also, is there any difference between a laptop and notebook?





    Many thanks in advance to anyone who can advise.Can anyone advise me on laptops/notebooks please?
    first off if you going to play karaoke on any laptop you should see if it has the following first:





    2 USB 2.0 port (min)


    1 Parrallel Port


    1external CRT display port 15 pin DDC2b compliant'


    1external keyboard/PS-2 mouse port


    6 pin s-Video jack for tv out


    2 audio jacks for line out or headphone, microphone or line in





    Video Dual Display graphics for second karaoke singer's display


    Internal 120GB hard drive ( 40GB min)


    Internal DVD/CDRW Combo Drive


    1GB RAM memory (512MB min)





    Expect to pay over $1000 for a good karaoke laptop PC





    I recommend getting a external 300+ GB hardrive I recomment getting 2GB RAM also !


    I'm actually going to be buying a Karaoke Laptop here myself soon I have done tons of resaerch almost all have said Dual Video and Large hard drive is a must !Can anyone advise me on laptops/notebooks please?
    I've included a link that compares the two processors. Basically, the Core 2 Duo is the way to go. The extra 20GB of disk space won't hurt either..





    For your main application, you probably don't need to worry about processor speed. Hard disk space and, especially, the sound chips in the laptop should be your main differentiators beyond price.





    Note that there is no official difference between a laptop and a notebook. It all depends on what the company feels sounds better.
    Whenever buying a PC it is usually best to buy the best you can afford, this helps prevent needing to upgrade later on. I'd sugest going for the faster processor and larger hard drive.


    I don't know how big the karaoke tracks would be so I don't know how much hard drive space you would need but if you need to you can always get a larger external hard drive to connect to the PC and store them on that.





    In the past a notebook was slimmer and lighter than a laptop but hese days the terms pretty much relate to the same thing
    yes dell is best
    One thing I would look for is Dead or Stuck pixels


    I have just been stung by Toshiba for this (拢 400 wasted)


    They refuse to repair under warranty and want nothing to do with me





    See it running before you buy !!!


    check the screen





    Dont buy Toshiba !!
    When using the machine for audio or visual you will want the faster processor - stick with the Samsung core 2 duo 1 GB ram 100GB hard drive.





    When doing basic word processing and text type work, you don't necessarily need the processor speed so much.
    Mac Book/Mac Book Pro! any Operating system you want, the best bang for the buck and the best specs/technical support. (www.apple.com/getamac). Not to mention the best os in the world (including iLife).

    NO TERRIERS! Things like labs and collies that are good natured natuarally %26amp; have a reputation for being 'smart' would be the pic. You would have the best of luck with getting puppies, so they can naturally adapt to the other animals. Terriers are hatefull spitefull animals. I have seen many. The name comes from them being territorial. They hate other animals that are in the same surrounding as them. Chiwawas bite and nip, they would probably kill your pets. So will minpins.

    My Great Pyranese loved my rabbits. He thought the newborns were the greatest thing ever!
    this may sound strange but i have 2 ferrets and i bring them to my Friends house and they have pit-bulls they play very well with them
    I would definatley say to stay away from any terrier breed. They are bred to hunt critters. Even if you have one from a pup, it's in their blood. It's very hard to train it out of them. Make sure you find a dog that doesn't have hunting in their breed.

    try small breed dog, also check online and with people who raise dogs.
    I would suggest a breed that does not have strong herding instincts. For example, Border Collies, German Shepherds, etc. any kind of herding dog tends to have stronger prey drives. If I were you I would do lots of research on breeds that don't have those instincts. I think no matter what kind of breed you decide on, getting a younger dog will help. S/he will be able to grow up realizing the small animals are part of his/her pack. Good luck to you!
    well one thing i can tell you is stay away from terriers and greyhounds they greygound chases a fodent in a race the terrier was used for pest control and their natural instincts come back from time to time my friend has a shitzu that sleeps with a rabbit
    I have two golden retrievers. They are older, but they don't bother the rabbits at all. Several other people on a rabbit forum I'm on have had good experiences with goldens and rabbits.
    My Bernese Mountain Dog is great with small animals. He used to let my hairless rat crawl into his hair to sleep.





    Not all animals will get along with small animals even if raised with them. I would stay away from any breed in the terrier or herding groups, and I would probably try to stay away from the toy breeds too. Most working breeds would be okay, the only concern would be the size.

  • Who will advise me about best volleyball training metods for beginers girls?

    How she can improove her jumping capabiliti and strong body( for volleyball)Which exercises is best for beginers girls. ThanksWho will advise me about best volleyball training metods for beginers girls?
    I would say for jumping to just do a lot of wall jumps. There are special weights you can buy for your feet to practice jumping in as weel. General conditioning is good for young players. Empasis footwork at that level so it because a natural movement for upper levels. Remember that passing footwork is not the only kind. Work with them on hitting and setting (yes there is setting footwork) too! Passing and serving are the key first steps. They should be focused on the most of the major skills. Be encouraging and dont' apply to much pressure. I have played since I was 8 and I know a lot of girls who just got burnt out by age 15!!!Who will advise me about best volleyball training metods for beginers girls?
    i just went on www.volleyball.com, and well, (i just started too) and nothing, i say pull-up, frog jumps and push ups are great
    go to volleyball.com


    they have a ton of stuff on there,


    forums, training exercises.





    and as far as strong body, work shoulders, legs, abs. those are the most important mostly.
    She should practice jumping by increasing her lower body strength...a good way of doing this is to do plenty of squats and lunges...and she should work on her upper body strenght for spiking by weight lifting....and she should stay fit by doing some cardio too!!!
    go to volleyball.com it will help out beginners

    Can someone advise me on a sewing machine please? UK?

    I am trying to sort out which would be the best sewing machine for me.


    I want to be able to dressmake on it, but I also want to be able to do freehand embroidery on felt.


    Can someone advise please?


    Thank youCan someone advise me on a sewing machine please? UK?
    You'd be best to go to a reputable shop to try out the different machines.


    Take a sample of fabric you'd be using most (or just an example of different thicknesses if you're using lots!) and an idea of the embroidery designs you want to start with.


    Most good shops will let you have a play with the machines before you make your mind up and will have knowledgeable staff to help. (admittedly you may have to travel to find a good one as many retailers(department stores etc.) haven't a clue!





    Good luck with your search and happy creating!Can someone advise me on a sewing machine please? UK?
    You have Walmart UK that sells sewing machines on-line.





    The brands they sell can be used as you have indicated.





    If you should get a sewing machine that does not have the option of lowering the feed dogs (or feed teeth), you can set the stitch length to zero. Use a darning foot to free motion stitch.





    The other option would be to visit shops that sell sewing machines.


    If they want to keep their customers, they are not going to sell a brand that does not sew well.





    Bernina %26amp; Husqvarna are the most expensive.





    Brother is very popular and user friendly.





    Which ever brand you buy - read and follow the instructions, in particular, how to thread (presser foot up - always) and inserting the bobbin correctly.
    mumof2 is spot on! please go to a reputable sewing machine retailer rather than a high street store, they will not have the knowledge nor the time to demonstrate. I could list loads of different machines, but you really need to try before you buy, have an idea of how much you want to spend. Take sample material with you and go armed with as many questions as you feel necessary, a reputable dealer will not mind spending time with you. Good Luck
    I agree. Go to a reputable dealer and test drive some machines. Don't listen to all the sales talk, as they will all tell you their machine is the best.





    Consider the following:





    1. Your needs as indicated in your question


    2. Ease of upgrading i.e. can you use the same accessories on a bigger machine if you some day choose to upgrade.


    3. Mechanical or computerized - each have their advantages, and price tags to go along with them!


    4. Number of stitches and type of stitches


    5. Ease of changing accessories


    6. Trade in possibilities when you want to buy a bigger machine
    http://www.bernina.co.uk/artista630E640E鈥?/a>





    I think this type would suit you, but it looks a bit expensive, there are others there too,


    ( got folks who sew in the family ).
    Any machine can do free motion embroidery.... the machine supplies the needle and bobbin threads and the way to interlock them, you provide the method of moving the fabric. Should you ever get a chance to see a copy of Singer Instructions for Art Embroidery, please page through -- all of the laces and embroideries were originally done on treadle straight stitch sewing machines in the late 1890's/early 1900's.





    Here's my standard ';beginner sewing machine'; rant... it's meant for US audiences, but most is also applicable to you. I'd also direct your attention to Kate Dicey's website: http://www.katedicey.co.uk/


    Click on ';resources'; and ';sewing machine gallery'; and you'll find some interesting bits and pieces. Kate may be able to suggest some professional sewing machine shops for you to visit.





    http://www.cet.com/~pennys/faq/smfaq.htm





    What I want for beginners in sewing:





    - a machine that doesn't scare you


    - a machine that isn't balky (cheap new machines are often very


    balky or need adjustments often and are rarely repairable --


    just too frustrating to learn on!)


    - very good straight stitch


    - good zigzag (4-5 mm is fine, more than that is gravy)


    - a method of making buttonholes that makes sense to you


    - adjustable presser foot pressure (which helps some fabric


    handling issues)


    - accessory presser feet that don't cost an arm and a leg


    (machines that use a ';short shank foot'; typically handle


    generic presser feet pretty well. Some brands of machines use


    proprietary or very expensive presser feet)





    If the budget stretches far enough:





    - blindhem and stretch blindhem stitches


    - triple zigzag (nice for elastic applications)


    - a couple of decorative stitches (you won't use them nearly as


    much as you think)


    - electronic machine because of the needle position control and


    because the stepper motors give you full ';punching force'; at


    slow sewing speeds -- mechanical machines often will stall at


    slow speeds.








    Please go to the best sewing machine dealers around and ask them


    to show you some machines in your price range, *especially* used


    machines you can afford. You'll get a far better machine buying


    used than new, and a good dealer is worth their weight in sewing


    machine needles when you get a machine problem -- often they can


    talk you through the problem over the phone. While you're trying


    things out, try a couple of machines (sewing only, not combo


    sewing-embroidery) over your price limit, just so you can see


    what the difference in stitch quality and ease of use might be.


    You may find you want to go for the used Cadillac. Or you might


    want the new basic Chevy. Might as well try both out.

    Can anybody advise on a little MP3 player problem?

    I have a Creative MuVo TX FM and when I turn it on, I always get this ';Please Wait'; message (But it still works). How can I remove that? Is it in the formatting?Can anybody advise on a little MP3 player problem?
    I think someone said it is loading the files and that is true. The best way to shorten this is to make sure that you when you put the MP3 files into the player u do not put them in a folder. Putting them in multiple folders will delay the waiting longer.Can anybody advise on a little MP3 player problem?
    I'm not sure but maybe it needs a reset or you need to connect it to the computer and give it the proper and latest format.
    The 'Please wait' is due to the player indexing the files and generating the auto play lists. If you noticed, the time is proportional to number of files on the drive.I can think of no way to bypass this
    u ll have to open it %26amp; reset the inner flip...

    25 weeks Uterus the size of a soccer ball. Hmm.. like I said I鈥檓 just not seein it


    27 weeks Here鈥檚 the kicker. Lol hey I think it鈥檚 funny. I swear he/she has been moving around and kicking or hickuping or whatever for at least a month now. Probably longer. Heck that鈥檚 the only reason I really figured out I am pregnant. Not all the time though or maybe I just don鈥檛 always notice it. Usually gets movin when I am ready to relax, as in bed time or if I鈥檓 reading


    OK so here鈥檚 what I don鈥檛 get. I鈥檓 fairly positive that I鈥檓 around 6 months preg. That鈥檚 how long it鈥檚 been since I鈥檝e had a period. Now admittedly I haven鈥檛 gone in for a check-up yet. Reasons being that I have always been irregular, I was working out a lot, not eating much and I lost the 20lbs pretty rapidly, I was under a lot of stress. It took me a few months b4 I started worrying, and then I was scared out of my mind. Don鈥檛 worry I have an appointment this Saturday. I just wanted some feedback from people who've been there.The rest of my novel. Sorry to take so much space but I really like the advise you all have given to others.?
    For your child's sake *IF there is one* I really hope you are NOT. If you have no idea if you're pregnant or not, then you really have no right to be a parent... By the 4th month you should be feeling the baby move...

  • I know a guy named Drew who got married and then became gay, so what should I advise him to do?

    His wife still doesn't know. He usually parties with guys on weekends, and goes to gay clubs.I know a guy named Drew who got married and then became gay, so what should I advise him to do?
    I don't believe he ';became gay'; after he got married, but that's beside the point.





    He needs to be honest with his wife about his sexuality. She needs to know, if she hasn't figured it out already. While it may be an uncomfortable conversation, the air does need to be cleared so that they can both move forward in their respective lives.I know a guy named Drew who got married and then became gay, so what should I advise him to do?
    Drew did not BECOME gay. It's not like you wake you one morning and say ';well, I think I'll be gay today';. Drew did what A LOT of gay men have done. He covered his tracks; probably for a number of reasons.





    I have seen this time and time again. People need to consider the other persons feelings. Why would you want to marry and destroy another's life? Genetically, you have to be who and what you are; nothing will ever change that. A person can only pretend for so long, and then it will all come out. Either she is going to find out. or he is going to tire of the double life style. The best thing Drew can do is separate and file for divorce or stand the chance of hurting someone that he probably cares about.
    I think DREW should WITHDRAW
    My best friend's cousin went through this. Her husband was gay and never told anyone (people don't become homosexual, they are born that way). He tried to fit in with society's idea of ';normal'; by getting married but the relationship broke up a few years ago when he finally admitted the truth. They were married long enough to have teenage kids! So, before it goes any further, he HAS to tell her the truth. The longer he waits, the harder it will be on everyone, especially if children are involved.
    No matter what, he shouldn't lead her on like that.





    He need to do the right thing and tell her that he's gay. Otherwise she's going to be in a one sided relationship, and that's not fair to her.
    He didn't just become gay darlin he's always been gay and been hiding in the closet
    Anyone who cheats on their spouse (even if using ';I just realized I was gay as an excuse) deserves to be dipped in cash and thrown to the divorce lawyers.
    I understand your problem. The same thing happened to a friend of mine. Except he moved to Idaho and dresses his son up like a little girl. It's sad really.


    You need to salvage this poor man immediately. First, send him lots of chick flicks. And by chick flicks, I mean lesbian porn. Then pay his wife to have sex with him as much as possible. Have her rape him if needed. Then have her take out all of the provacative objects from the house. All of the bananas, hot dogs, twinkies, shampoo bottles, screwdrivers, etc.


    Actually, just send him to Derren Brown. He will be able to turn him straight immediately.
    he has to tell her he cant let her find out the hard way then she will be more crushed!

    I am finding it difficult to concentrate while studying. Also advise me how to increase my memory power?

    I am student of 8th grade and I really want to improve myself in studiesI am finding it difficult to concentrate while studying. Also advise me how to increase my memory power?
    It's easy. You need to simply cut out the distractions. If you like to do your homework on your computer, it'll never work out, because you'll be tempted to check your myspace account, your email, and all the fun stuff people do on the net. If you try to do your homework in a room with a television, the tv is going to grab your attention.


    Let's put it this way. School work is a little on the dull side, and sometimes it's a pain to have to do homework. Your brain is going to find every excuse it can to go do something more entertaining. It's hard to focus.


    You need to go to an environment that will limit the distractions . You need a quiet office or desk area... no tv, no radio, no internet, no video games, and close the curtains, because looking outside is a big time waster. It's hard to find an environment like this, which is why the library is such a cool place to go. The library is quiet, and has plenty of desks to study from. Spend a good hour in a library and you'll accomplish more in that hour than an entire week at home.





    Sometimes it's helpful to bring a friend to the library, although some friends can be a distraction, so choose wisely.I am finding it difficult to concentrate while studying. Also advise me how to increase my memory power?
    dont eat meat.It is very difficult to concentrate on studies.if you constanly eat meat. Eat ladys finger. to increase your memory power.and also solve sudoku puzzles daily it will really help you to increase your memory power.
    If I cannot get interested in or remember anything of a study it is time to..... become OBCESSED with it. All known time from wake to sleep will be spent going over material, reviewing it in my head during breaks, and getting back to it quick if I'm distracted. I take time out for treat time and sleeping. Hobbies are on hold until it clicks with me.
    There is a l0t of solutions you could study with high voice this helps a lot . Also you could make a paper with most important idea in each sentence or paragraph . You have to eat well during exams that make you more effective . There is an idea to make some records of what r u studying if it need to be learned by heart you could make a record and listen to it a lot until you study by heart .You could increase you memory power buy doing tests when you r walking or driving or any thing like trying to remember the numbers of a car you have pass through it from 1 min. that's really works .

    Why do they advise not to mate your dog in its 1st heat?

    Because if you do the dog is not developed enough and you might end up with mutated babies and thats sad to see.Why do they advise not to mate your dog in its 1st heat?
    It's the equivalent of a 12-13 year old human having a baby. They've gone through puberty, but still aren't physically mature and there's a much higher risk for complications.





    Also, at that age the dog is still to young to have any sort of genetic health certifications (OFA/CERF), so you could be passing along genetic health problems.


    .Why do they advise not to mate your dog in its 1st heat?
    Should a girl get pregnant on her first period? Hopefully not. A dog goes into heat around six months. A dog that young is not done growing and having puppies at such a young age can be damaging to their health. A dog is not fully mature and ready to have puppies until they are around two years old.
    Because at 6 months they are still puppies. Wild canines don't breed that early. Why? Because at 6 months you aren't dominant to ANYONE. Secondly at 6 months they aren't old enough or fully grown from the various screening and tests they need.





    OFA CERF PennHIP BAER etc
    A dog must be at least 2 years old to have the proper health testing done to breed.





    along with not breeding in the first heat, it's not a good idea to breed back to back heats.

    Please can someone advise me on my laptop?

    hi everyone! can someone tell me if there is a way of locking my laptop keyboard temporarily, to stop my young son from pressing lots of keys(like they do) as i dont want to have to keep shutting it down. thankyou in advance!Please can someone advise me on my laptop?
    Try using the Miscrosoft shortcut :





    Windows Logo Key + '; L ';Please can someone advise me on my laptop?
    Press the power button halfway and this will put your computer in the ';sleep'; mode. However, before doing this, make sure you ';password enable'; your laptop so that it requires a password when it boots up or it ';wakes up'; from standby/sleep mode. Without typing the appropriate password, the keyboard and mouse pad are both disabled.
    if your using XP or Vista you can





    vista go to start and press the adlock on the start menu (or press Fn F1 for most laptops)





    xp





    put the machine in standby it shuts the machine off but it restarts quicker





    hope this helps
    Hi





    Yes, you can set up a screen saver with a password, and when tryng to type something need to type password first
    you could make your laptop go on standby or you can lock it and then if they do press keys nothing will happen
    try hibernating or put it on standby. Or close the cover of your laptop or if u have vista. Press windows key and L.
    u can apply password on user accounts..log off whenever u are not using it..he can still doing it but can't do more.....i think it should work...
    just go to start and choose lock this will lock your whole system until you unlock it

    Can any one advise me on how is life in UK. I am looking forward for my further studies in Computers in UK.?

    I am in a confused as the software field is in decline state.Can any one advise me on how is life in UK. I am looking forward for my further studies in Computers in UK.?
    I am not answering about life in the UK. Life should be how you make of it.





    I am responding to your statement


    ';the software field is in decline state';.





    That is not an accurate statement.





    True, there is a glut of normal programmers in Java, .NET, PHP. Even so, normal programmers still do command respectable remunerations.





    However, there is ample room for more engineering and mathematical programmers.





    1. Robotics.


    Defence robotics, bomb disposal robotics - as armies of today seeks to minimise soldier and civilian casualty, robots are the future of auxiliary battle field tasks.





    Industrial robotics. Even cost of human skilled labour in India is getting too expensive. Robots are used to perform volume and quality intensive industrial task, including hazardous material handling.





    Medical-analysis robotics - the curse of modern medical advances is, everybody wants to see a doctor nowadays. Widespread liberal sex culture has increased the volume of human liquid inspection hence raising costs of analysis. Medical robotics increase the speed and quality of human sample analysis, averting the need of highly paid BSc technicians to handle yucky human stuffs.





    Surgical and biomedical robotics. There are visions to turn cellular and tissue replacement engineering into the scale of semiconductors. The tedious and delicate task of cell splicing and invasion should be done by finely tuned robots not the shaking hands of a graduate student.





    2. Bio-medical information.


    Medical robotic management systems. As analysis samples are passed from one robot to another, an integrated information system needs to track and coordinate the flow of the samples and scheduling of the robots.





    Computer assisted diagnosis. The amount of information, symptoms, diseases, mutations are swamping doctors and the fast pace of changes in medical diagnosis require integrated diagnosis information systems much like how an industrial diagnostic system is used to classify new observations, while drawing information from historical observations.





    Newly emergent is patient specific diagnosis and information systems.





    3. Recognition systems. Industrial and robotic systems will increase their dependence on various means of recognition - optical image interpretation, sonar signatures, positioning, chemical signatures, to name a few.





    The above fields require you to further train in one or more of various branches of mathematical, biological and medical sciences. Many require an understanding or proficiency with neural networks.





    Other purer fields of programming not in glut are:


    4. Multi-language programming in rich media. The presentation of rich media requires knowledge of scripts and languages on the server, on the client, and communication taking place on the various middle-layer systems. Interactive rich media as opposed to a simple HTML page. Rich media allows information providers the flexibility of the web but the precise visuals of a desktop.





    5. Information connectivity, accessibility and security. I know this is very wide field but I shall refrain from commenting on a field too vast for my comprehension.





    You should avoid getting stuck in the run-of-the-mill programming market. Therefore, you need to plan your studies and your life to propel yourself to whichever sets of specialty you find suitable.





    You should avoid concentrating on computer science alone but target your course decisions with plans to read for Masters degree in specialised technologies (biology, statistics, neural systems, etc). If you choose to specialize in engineering or biomedical programming, there are two fields you should have your finger on - distributed database systems, neural networks.

    Can anyone please advise me how I can send today's food in a friend of mine in England?

    Moustaka, baglava, souvlaki etcCan anyone please advise me how I can send today's food in a friend of mine in England?
    There is only one way..and it is expensive. you would have to get a disposable styrofoam cooler, freeze the food you want to send (if it will freeze and hold up). Then get dry ice, wear gloves and pack the bottom of the cooler. (DO NOT TOUCH DRY ICE). And then have the shipment sent over night. That's where it will get expensive.


    Get me a zip code and city and I can get you an estimated rate. But I'm pretty sure this is going to be well over $200.00Can anyone please advise me how I can send today's food in a friend of mine in England?

    Prepare your body (smell, appearance and stature-confident posture).





    Do not constantly stare at her, however when you do make eye contact, do not look away (let her look away first). If she does not look away and it's starts to quickly become uncomfortable, this is the time to smile slowly and if she smiles back you, say or mouth ';hi.';





    DO NOT base the way she feels about you on her reaction. Girls can hide many different emotions. Understand every girl wants to be admirerd by everyone... even the dweebs (secretly). However if you appear confident and cool her attraction for you will mulitply. Just tell her that you like her energy.. that or her ';hair';. your not really sure.. kid-around. Walk by her later on and gently brush her and keep on walking withouth turning around. this will make her hot. Do not make it hurt her, but make it to where you defintely brushed her.

    There are a few different things that you can try. First make sure that your discs are clean before you put them in the player. Even if the disc is new I would recommend cleaning the disc off. The second thing that you can try is a DVD player reset. You can do this by unplugging the player for about 5-10 minutes. Then plug it back in and try the disc. If that does not help I would try a DVD head cleaner in the player. If all of these things do not work, it is most likely an issue with the player.

    If you want to lose weight all round (and this will include your stomach), I suggest you walk for 40 mins at least per day (if you can increase this to an hour even better) . Walking at around 6kph would be a good speed (but this depends on how fit you are). A good speed is when you are sweating but can still hold a conversation with someone. Try to cut down on carbohydrates-bread, rice, pasta etc in your diet and also increase the amount of protein you eat-chicken, fish and lean meat.I am 50 year old man and I want to reduce the belly bulging.

    Seeking advise with some debts problem?

    I have some debts from a bank and it has being 6 months since i contact or actually heard from the bank due to the changed of my number and address but i didnt report to them. i would like to know am i on a path to ship warck or i'm in it already? what are the possible consequence i will face when they eventually find me? and what if i escape my debt to another country would they still be able to take lawsuits againt me ?Seeking advise with some debts problem?
    What happens really depends on the size of your debt. Your ship definitely has a hole and could be sinking.





    Either way, you're probably going to have a creditor sent after you, you're dealing with a bank. They will find your new address and telephone number unless you're extremely under the radar. Once they have this information, they will call you, send you letters, and if enough time passes you may even get a knock on you door (depending on the laws in you area). Again, depending on where you are, they may be able to find you and repossess and liquidate your items to pay off the debt. This is more likely if the debt is huge. If it's a small debt, you're just looking at harassing phone calls and mail. You'll also have plenty of interest tagged onto the principle and you may even be responsible for compensating the creditor the banks sends after you.





    Good news is that in many areas there are enforceable limits on how often and in what ways a creditor can contact you. There are also laws limiting the amount of interest you can be held responsible for. Also, there are companies out there to help people in your situation. They can talk with the creditor to work out a deal for you and prevent the creditor from harassing you. If you're interested, look it up in the yellow pages and I'm sure you'll find one.





    You will probably be able to evade the debt by leaving the country. However, if the debt is astronomical they will still find you, unless you live totally under the radar.





    Good luck!Seeking advise with some debts problem?
    Deal with it like an adult. You undertook to repay these loans and now you are going back on your word. Yes you can escape to another country, however, what about your own personal integrity? Seems you have none. If you should return to the country where you owe this money, you will have a very bad credit rating and will not be able to obtain credit from anybody for any amount - even $1


    You will find that the bank has already assigned your bad debt to a collection agency, who will not be as nice to you as the bank. Your best course would be to contact your credit provider or the people who now have your debt before they catch up with you. Try working out a repayment plan - look at what you can afford to pay each week you will be able to salvage something if you are proactive and don't bury your head in the sand.
    You are on the way to ruin. The interest keeps accumulating and your problems will follow no matter where you run.


    Start handling your problems like an adult and set up a repayment plan

    Mixing the gas is not hard at all. All you do is decide the size of your gas can and there is little plastic bottles of oil depending on the size that you pour in. There is no math or guessing required.





    Electric and battery models are both junk in my mind. But at least with the battery you wouldn't be limited to the range of the cord.

    Need advise for my business?

    I need an idea of how to keep track of people entering my company. I have a children's indoor play area with slides etc. At the moment I have just got tokens to give to the parents for each child, but they keep getting lost. They need to hand them in to me before they leave but of course if they have lost them it is hard to keep track. So I need a way to keep track of how many children are in, and to stop them losing them. Thanks.Need advise for my business?

    Use the supermarket trolley return system!





    Charge the parents a deposit for the tokens, on return they get the deposit back.





    A deposit that outweighs the value of the token plus a free lolly for each child is a surefire way of making sure parents hand them back when they are about to leave. (a) the parent will want their money back (b) pester power from the children will make sure they get their lolly. Explaining that it is for their own child's safety by regulating numbers should make it a bit easier to swallow for them, after all, you're not charging more, you give them the money back within a couple of hours.
    Give them a rubber wrist brace. They are very cheap, colorful and soft. No need for pocket at all but you do need an arm or leg.





    Of course we can never be 100% sure that they don't lose it.You know they do get crazy while they are playing. We can only reduce the chance of losing.
    RFID wrist bands. (RFID - Radio Frequency ID) They will uniquely identify each child and each child can be linked to an adult. You can have your premises wired so that you can have a real time view of where the children are, and where each corresponding adult is. You can also track your employees this way, to make sure that there is proportionate supervision, and move your assets to where they are needed.





    You can also be alerted when a child leaves the premises without the accompanying adult.





    As a caution, this isn't cheap, but it can be leased equipment. Let me know if you need a contact for this type of system...
    I think a radio-tag system would be too expensive (and you seem to suggest that you don't need it for security primarily but just for keeping better control of whats going on). The best solution so far given is the rubber wrist bands...I would suggest that a velcro wrist-band type of system would be better. That allows you to adjust the thickness and there is no risk of cutting off blood supply as with an elasticated system (and a Velcro device can be attached easily over clothing, even over a coat if required). Since you are already using tokens then maybe you could combine the two ideas and have a soft fabric strap which is secured with velcro but also have velcro attached to the back of the tokens so these can be attached and removed as well. That means you can vary the system later (switch to colour coding or whatever) and could even upgrade to an RF tag solution if necessary (ie swap the tokens for the tags).
