Study tips, advice about learning the material, etc. I am not taking math or lab science this semester...and I am kind of worried about it but my dad said that it doesn't matter when I take it as long as I do.Advice about my first semester of college classes?
Well, if you want to take the MCAT, it matters. You should take all the basics of science before that test. Assuming that you don't want to take it anyway, don't worry about not taking a science yet. You want to be very organized, study, and never fall behind in homework. Also always try to find the best way that you can learn the materials. Be creative.Advice about my first semester of college classes?
You will be doing some math in Intro to accounting. - Accounting problems. - It depends on your professor. It would be a lot of work - homework problems, maybe project and exams.
English - it would be writing based on some readings read in class. If you have trouble with writing essays - go to your writing center on campus for help and started on the essay early after your professor tell you the assignment. You do not even want to do it went it is like 2 days close to the deadline of handing in the assignment.
Other courses like history, and philosophy - might have some writings and class discussion.

Advice about Redbud tree?
I just planted a Redbud tree and since I've never planted a tree before I could use some advice concerning pests and care tips specific to Redbuds. Also, do I need to stake it?Advice about Redbud tree?
Any young tree should be staked especially if they don't have other trees around to break some of the wind. I live on a hill and it gets quite windy.
Here is a link for you most people aren't aware that there is more than one kind.

Advice about personal loans - Advantage loans - are they legitimate?
I've applied for an unsecured loan through a UK company called Advantage Loans. They are a broker and claim that they have found a company who will guarantee to give me a loan (bank have said no as borrowed too much already but want to consolidate a few things). The only thing is they have asked me to send a cheque for 拢49.50 for their services and I'm very wary of this. They say they are registered with companies house and have a website etc but how can I find out if they are legitimate and/or has anyone had a good experience with this company. I'm worried they'll take my money and say no to the loan. Any experienced help would be great thanks!Advice about personal loans - Advantage loans - are they legitimate?
i would say be very careful with this company. check out as much as you can. get an independant company to check for you. if you can consult a solicitor. some have the first consultation free and pay after. regards | LeslieAdvice about personal loans - Advantage loans - are they legitimate?
I would apply with a company like surefire finance they are a broker but don't charge fees for unsecured loans
There are 2 types of personal loans 鈥?secured personal loans and unsecured personal loans. Secured personal loans require you to pledge any of your assets like you house to the lender as collateral. Many people choose this type of loan due to many benefits like lower interest rates, long repayment time and easy terms and conditions. But your asset is under threat if you cannot make timely payments. Your asset can be taken over by the lender and thus you lose the possession of it
Don't touch them.
All they will do is take your money and pass your details to Black Horse. (Who will charge you 40%apr)
the other thing you need to check urgently is their interest rate. it will be lots higher than banks. you can end up paying back double what you borrow. if as you say the bank has already declined it might be less painful to go to cab and get them to help you work out a budget and they can help get in contact with creditors and try to freeze interest on monies already outstanding. why end up in bigger financial trouble if you dont have tobumble and bumble

I was wondering if anyone had any advice about owning a sugar glider?
I dont have one but i would really like too. I was just wondering maybe some problems you had if you have owned one, or things about how to make them live longer and be happyI was wondering if anyone had any advice about owning a sugar glider?
Please reconsider.
Sugar gliders, while cute, are very social animals and belong in the wild. If they do not have enough attention/friends they often self-mutilate or die of loneliness.
If you want to share your life with an animal I suggest you visit your local animal shelter. While these animals are not as ';glamourous'; as a sugar glider, they are more adapted to sharing their life with humans. You will also be saving their life. In most shelters these animals are killed if no one adopts them. This is of course unnecessary but is simply the sad state of our world today. A world where animals are seen as commodities rather than the individuals that they are.I was wondering if anyone had any advice about owning a sugar glider?
Well they like to have really huge cages (like really huge like the size of those $300 large parrot cages that sit on the floor and are like 6 feet tall!!) and they like to have a friend or they'll be sad. They need fresh fruit and vegetables every single day. There's no sugar glider food at the pet store. Their cage has to be filled with TONS of toys. They need places to jump off and land so they need ledges in the cage and lots of stuff to do. It's pretty expensive owning one but they make really nice pets. I love them.
Here is some basic glider info:
Sugar gliders are very high maintenance pets. They are expensive to purchase and even more money to keep. They range from $150 and up, depending on colors. The average start up cost for a glider(cage, glider, toys, etc), is around $1000-$1500
Temperament:
Sugar gliders are extremely active and very social animals and do not like to live alone. If you would like to own a sugar glider, plan on having more than one. A lonely sugar glider who is deprived of social interaction, will not thrive. They will become depressed and lonely, which can cause them to die. They need interaction with their owners to be happy.
Remember that they are nocturnal and are up all night and sleep all day. My gliders used to wake up at about 11pm and were up until about 7am. During the day they didn't like being bothered, imagine someone wanting you to get up and play at 3 in the morning. I am an insomniac and was up all night anyway, so I didn't mind. When I did want to sleep it was difficult, they are very noisy at night, jumping around and barking and chirping. I used to get woken up several times.
Gliders should be purchased when they are young. Older gliders are hard to tame and may never enjoy being with you.
Bonding
Gliders must be able to be carried by you during the day in order to bond. I was lucky enough to have a job that didn't mind that I had them with me. You cannot sneak them around with you, as occasionally they will crab, or bark. They are loud barkers.
It you are not able to carry them for at least a few your a day in a bonding pouch then they may not take to you.
Even as a bonded pet, they are still not cuddly. A friendly glider is pretty much one that will not bite you and will jump from the cage to you. You're pretty much a bridge for them to get to where they really want :) They do not like being pet or held, I used to just have them jump from the cage to me and back.
Feeding
The feeding requirements of a sugar glider are somewhat controversial. It is only recently they have been kept as pets, and needs are somewhat of a mystery. As time goes on people will learn more about the needs of these little creatures. Sugar gliders are omnivorous, meaning they will eat plant material and meat. In the wild they feed from nectar, fruit, insects and even small birds, eggs or rodents. This diet is pretty hard to replicate in captivity. People feed them a variety of foods trying to mimic their natural diet as best they can. Some people feed insects such as crickets, meal worms, wax worms, moths and spiders. The insects should be fed high quality food such as commercial cricket food, and dusted with a complete vitamin/mineral supplement. Hence their name, the sugar glider loves the taste of sugar. They like fruit cocktail. The fruit should be fed in small amounts, chopped together so the gliders can not just pick out their favorites. There are many different diets that can be fed. These diets cannot be mixed and match and must be fed according to directions. Incorrect diet can cause serious health issues. Some diets you may want to research
BML, Taronga Zoo Diet, Chicago Zoological Park Alternative Diet , Darcy's Sugar Glider Diet , Elwin's Fresh Food Diet, Priscilla Price's Sugar Glider Diet, Suncoast Glider Diet Plan, etc(there are a few more to this list)
Cage:
A large cage, the bigger the better, should be provided with plenty of things to jump and leap off of (a minimum of 24 x 24 inches, by 36 inches high). For a sugar glider, height is more valuable than floor space. A wire cage, wire should be no more than 陆 inch wide, is best to allow the cage to breathe. A plastic tub can be placed under the cage to catch any debris that may fall out of the cage. Lots of toys should be provided as well as an exercise wheel, nest box and/or glider pouch. Branches, ropes and ladders will provide lots of opportunity for climbing and exercise. Large cage is a must, if you do not have the space or $$$ to buy an appropriate cage then do not get a glider.
Vet care
Since gliders are exotic their veterinary care will cost more. You will need to find a sugar glider knowledgeable vet before you purchase a glider.
Other info
Male sugar gliders have a unique smell that some people find unbearable. I used to have to clean mine daily(scrubbing cage, washing bedding, cleaning toys) to keep the smell down. The males have scent glands and they mark thier territory. Females do not have as bad a smell as males. The cage will need to be cleaned frequently, weather keeping males of females as urine has a strong odor. They usually urinate on the side of the cage, so you need to wash the entire cage, not just the bottom tray.
Also check for legality in your state. Gliders are illegal in some states and cities.
Please do as much research as possible on these guys. They are not easy to keep and require very specific care in order to thrive and be healthy.
Please reconsider.

Can you give me some advice about tattoo placement?
I have a small tattoo (about 2 inches) of a butterfly on the OUTSIDE of my right ankle. I want to get another tattoo of a giraffe that's about the same size, but I'm not sure where to put it.
I want to be able to cover it if I have to, and would like to avoid my back, stomach, shoulder, or arms. I was thinking about the INSIDE of my other ankle, but do you think that would look funny with the butterfly already on the outside of my other ankle?Can you give me some advice about tattoo placement?
you are ruling out 4 major parts of your body where there is so much room to tattoo. basically only your legs and your face are left, and possibly your neck, but i assume that youre going to count that as your back too..
i do think it'll look funny having a giraffe and butterfly around the same area...
youre being far too picky. how can you say you want to cover it but put it on your ankle? any of those 4 body parts you left out are much easier to cover than your ankle
you dont give people many options so theres not much else to sayCan you give me some advice about tattoo placement?
Maybe the upper part of your thigh can be a good space for your giraffe tattoo. It's basically covered always but you can still flaunt it when you wear a bikini.

I was diagnosed with Asperger's on Monday, and advice about the syndrome will do?
How can I make my condition less noticeable? I get anxiety attacks because of it, does anyone know how I can just try and reduce the symptoms I have so they're less noticeable and general Asperger's advice? Your advice will be much appreciated.I was diagnosed with Asperger's on Monday, and advice about the syndrome will do?
I agree with Jake L that what you do to reduce the symptoms depends on what is motivating or maintaining those symptoms. Individuals with Asperger's disorder do not have any significant language delays but they often tend to have weaknesses in their use of non-literal language. That difficulty often tends to interfere with socialization. A behavior could also be due to sensory concerns. If that is that case, we often look at replacement behaviors. A sensory need or processing difficulty cannot be just eliminated but they can be reduced and there are often more socially acceptable ways of addressing that need. In any case, a quality eveluation should have looked at what was maintaining those behaviors and symptoms (a lack of doing that in an evaluation can lead to misdiagnosis) and it should have given you quality recomnmendations. If it did not do both of those things and put all of that information into a report for you then I would suggest getting a quality evaluation that will do those things. If you did get a report with that information, then look for a psychologist or other therapist who can help you to put those recommendations into place. Otherwise, you are just shooting into the dark. Read this article for helpful information on Asperger's Disorder and how to get a quality evaluation http://www.ehow.com/how_4723735_autism-a鈥?/a> I hope this helps.I was diagnosed with Asperger's on Monday, and advice about the syndrome will do?
Are your anxiety attacks the result of sensory issues or the fear of failing socially?
If your problem is sensory issues, I really don't know how to help you - some say that alcohol or other depressents reduce these symptoms, but obviously this is not feasible on a daily basis. I would try to reduce stressors of this type in my environment (assuming you aren't already doing that), and be open about the condition to others whom you interact with often.
If your problem is social ineptitude, then I unfortunately don't have a simple solution for you. There are many sites and resources for tips in this area, but many of them are actually contradictory - I would recommend finding exactly what you need more of within yourself and then searching specifically for information in that area. (ex. eye contact)
To make it less noticeable, try watching other people to see what they do in specific situations as a means of working out a script for that situation. Again, I apologise for the assumption that you don't already do this.
Anyway, good luck, and I'll check back here to see if you add more details. =)

Can the Senior men in here give me some advice about women?
Most of the time it is the females that give me a difficult time in here. From my experience if you treat them to well they get spoiled and take advantage of that. If it is too little they leave you. If it is just right they complainCan the Senior men in here give me some advice about women?
