Recording things on my computer?

best baby monitor itunes image

K B

I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium. I want to get a microphone for my guitar, a good pair of headphones headphones, Software, audio mixers, and anything else that would be required like USB connector or something. What brands are best? Where should I go to get this stuff. I was wondering if I had to get a different computer also. I am very new to recording. Thanks in advance.
i have $700 and it doesnt have to be professional

Answer
You need a DAW (digital audio workstation) software. A Pro Tools M-powered 8 system http://www.guitarcenter.com/Digidesign-Pro-Tools-M-Powered-8-DAW-Software-105187322-i1432585.gc - would work best on Windows 7. You will need a digital/audio interface and music quality sound card mentioned later.

A condenser microphone for voice recording and a dynamic microphone to record an acoustic guitar. Cables and mic stands. You will also need a studio monitor to listen to your recorded music. http://www.guitarcenter.com/M-Audio-M-Audio-Studio-Pro-3-Monitor---MXL-990-991-Mic-Package-888907-i1471849.gc - I have the MXL 990 and that is very fine quality microphone.

Your electric guitar and microphones can be plugged directly into the audio/digital interface that you need to interface your computer to your DAW software. http://www.guitarcenter.com/M-Audio-FastTrack-Ultra-USB-2-0-Audio-Interface-104806138-i1383564.gc - That interface also contains a music quality sound card that you will really need to produce broadcast ready music.

You will also need a good set of studio quality headphones (frequency response = 20 Hz to 20 kHz) I use these and they sound awesome and are very comfortable. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-T44-Dynamic-Stereo-Headphones-244514-i1126224.gc

You'll need a USB cable but, one might be included with the M-audio interface. I recorded on alap top computer for about 6-months and then decided I wanted a seperate desktop computer just for recording music. You really do need a place to stor your music and I would seggest buying an external 1.5 TB drive just to keep your music one. Eventually you will need two drives. One to use as a back up drive.

That is the basics to do what you want to do. It's a really good idea to eventually add a MIDI keyboard workstation like the Roland Juno G. The following software is helpful if you are writing music. Band-in-a-box, Guitar Pro 6, MasterWriter, RPsoft 2000 Musicord, There are lots of plug-ins for Pro Tools and also training books and videos for it. You probably do not need a mixer because you can mix everything in Pro Tools. You might want to get a bass guitar eventually.

I'm a songwriter and I write and record all my own stuff using Pro Tools. I play guitar, bass and keyboard so I can record all the tracks myself. The drums come right from Pro Tools or from my keyboard (I have a Roland Juno G). I sing the lead and all the background parts myself. When I'm finished, I have a broadcast quality recording that could sell on iTunes, Amazon,com, CD Baby, or Tunecore. You can do the very same thing. It's easier than ever before to make a living in the music business today. When you are ready, get a MySpace page. MySpace was created for people in the music business to network with each other. Good Luck to you.

Has it now become acceptable to download music for free?

Q. Remember those lawsuits back in 2000 against napster? That was when p2p was in its baby stages.
What about in 2004 against Kazza and the rest of those others still out today? What happened to those suits, because those website/programs are still up and distributing music for free.
Has it now just become exceptable? Because it seems like those lawsuits did nothing, because those p2p networks are still up and running, along with the websites.

Answer
Nope, it is still illegal. A lot of people have changed the fact that they don't share songs for uploads on those sites now. The RIAA as people monitoring and downoading songs and have peopel upload songs in order for them to catch people stealing music. I know at a college a went to a couple years ago, 8 people were slapped with some pretty heavy fines and court because they were dowloading music p2p. P2P is only legal if the music is not copyrighted or the artist and their record company have allowed it. Usually neither of those are the case. But they keep the sites in place for the situations where they are not copyrighted. They just make you agree that YOU will not perform illegal activity using the program. Reason thing have somewhat calmed down about the arguement is there are many programs you can get now that allow you to have music but pay for it. Napster, Rhapsody, Itunes, WalMart and the list goes on.

What is the best baby monitor out there?

best baby monitor target image

KanKan

Im going to be a first time mom & my baby's nursery is on a different floor in my house. Im looking for the best portable baby monitor, possibly a picture one. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Answer
I would go for a basic sound only monitor. When I was setting up my nursery we bought a motion and sound monitor. I found it to be useless for a new born as the baby was too small to set it off. It needed an adult or something bigger to set it off as it needed big movements (a hand waving in front of it.) I have one by fisher price that came with 2 speakers and the base. It is really good and picks up all sounds (it is so sensitive that it picks up the grand father clock chiming in the dinning room!) I love it. It only cost us about $80 from baby target.

What are the best non-digital baby monitors on the market?

Mrs.S

I have looked into digital monitors, but they're a little out of my price range. Does anyone know of any good classic style baby monitors? I am pregnant with my first child.

Answer
I love the Sony sound sensor baby call. It's voice activated so you don't hear the static. You do have the choice of listening to everything though. I bought a second one for my 3 yr olds room since I can't hear her if she calls out. They are only $35.00 at Target, great buy.

How can I get my infant to fall asleep on her own? What age is ideal for starting?

best baby monitor to prevent sids image

kweenB

I have a five week old baby, and I have been holding her until she falls asleep then putting her down in her crib afterwards. When and how do I get her to fall asleep on her own?

Answer
What are the signs of sleep readiness?
Your baby may show signs of being ready for sleep when you see the following signs:

rubbing eyes
yawning
looking away
fussing
How can you help your baby fall asleep?
Although it is surprising, not all babies know how to put themselves to sleep. When it is time for bed, many parents want to rock or breastfeed a baby to help him/her fall asleep. Establishing a routine like this at bedtime is a good idea. However, be sure that the baby does not fall asleep in your arms. This may become a pattern and the baby may begin to expect to be in your arms in order to fall asleep. When the baby briefly awakens during a sleep cycle, he/she may not be able to go back to sleep on his own.

Most experts recommend allowing a baby to become sleepy in your arms, then placing him/her in the bed while still awake. This way the baby learns how to go to sleep on his own. Playing soft music while your baby is getting sleepy is also a good way to help establish a bedtime routine.

What sleeping positions are best for a newborn?
For many years in the United States, babies have been put to bed on their stomachs. In most other countries, babies sleep on their backs. Research has found a link between sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and babies who sleep on their stomachs (in the prone position).

Experts now agree that putting a baby to sleep on his/her back is the safest position. Side-sleeping may also be used, but this also has a higher risk than back sleeping. Other reports have found soft surfaces, loose bedding, and overheating with too many blankets also increase the risk for SIDS.

Place your baby on his/her back on a firm, tight-fitting mattress in a crib that meets current safety standards.


Remove pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, stuffed toys, and other soft products from the crib.


Consider using a sleeper as an alternative to blankets with no other covering.


If using a blanket, put your baby with his/her feet at the foot of the crib. Tuck a thin blanket around the crib mattress, only as far as the baby's chest.


Make sure your baby's head remains uncovered during sleep.


Do not place your baby on a waterbed, sofa, soft mattress, pillow, or other soft surface to sleep.

According to the task force report, bed sharing or co-sleeping may be hazardous for babies in certain conditions. The report advises the following:

Parents should consider placing the infant's crib near their bed for more convenient breastfeeding and parent contact.


If a mother chooses to have her infant sleep in her bed to breastfeed, care should be taken that the baby sleeps in a non-prone position, soft surfaces or loose covers are avoided, and the bed is moved away from the wall and other furniture to avoid the baby becoming entrapped between them.


Adults other than the parents, children, or other siblings should not share a bed with an infant.


Parents who choose to bed share with their infant should not smoke or use substances such as drugs or alcohol that may impair their ability to awaken.

To prevent overheating, the report recommends that the infant should be lightly clothed for sleep and the room temperature kept comfortable for a lightly clothed adult. Avoid over bundling and check the baby's skin to make sure it is not hot to the touch.

Additional research has found that infants should not be put to sleep on a sofa, alone or with another person, as this practice increases the risk for SIDS.

While babies should sleep on their backs, other positions can be used during the time babies are awake. Babies can be placed on their stomachs while awake to help develop muscles and eyes and to help prevent flattened areas on the back of the head.

What percentage of babies suffer from SIDS in US?

Amanda

If approximately 4,000,000 babies are born each year in the US, and about 3,000 die every year in the US from SIDS, then what percentage of babies born is that?

I am scared of SIDS... I have a 7 week old son and am so afraid of the possibility.
Also, do you have any advice or experience that can help me worry less?

Answer
Let your baby sleep on their back, keep blanket and pillows out of the crib, and running a fan can also help.

You can do all these things and your baby can still die of SIDS. I have a friend her daughter died of SIDS when she was 4 days old. You can do everything in the world to prevent it and it can still happen.

You could also purchase a movement Monitor. Its sets off an alarm if your baby goes for more then 20 seconds with out breathing. We have one and I am so glad that I got it. It helps me sleep better at night.

How much does it cost the first year to raise a baby and other questions.?

Katie-Lynn

I am not pregnant. This is a protect for school.

What is the annual cost the first year to raise a baby?

Second question. Im going to give you a list of newborn items. Tell me which items are TRULY NECESSARY.

Crib
diaper changing table
rocking chair
baby monitor
baby bathtub
bottles
bottle brush
bottle drying rack
baby swing
pacifiers
infant bouncer
swaddling blanket
play mat
play pen
carseat

Answer
Crib
Carseat
Bottles
Swaddling blanket
Play mat (can be used on floor as changing mat too)
These are the basic basic needs for me. You can get by without the others but not these.

The annual costs for a baby each year is different for every person. Some woman breast feed which is cheaper than formula. Others use cloth diapers which are cheaper than disposable etc.
I bought a pack of 15 reusable pea pod diapers for $70. These can be used from newborn right up to 3 years, so I only bought 1 pack of disposable diapers during the first year, to see what was better. Diapers are about $10 (new Zealand dollars) a pack. Babies go through about 5-10 nappies each day in the first few weeks, and then about 3-5 a day from around 4 months to a year. So do the math and it'll give you an approximate answer (get the price of diapers from your local supermarket).
If breast fed, it cost nothing. I breast fed, but I also bought a breast pump and baby bottles for $150 in case baby needed to be left with another person etc. if formula feeding, do some research online on the average formula used a month, and then times that by 12 (12 months in a year) get a price from your local supermarket.
Clothes- this depends on where you buy from etc, but I spent about $800 on all clothes up to 12 months. (including shoes, socks, togs, pyjamas etc)
I spent about $20 or so on baby shampoo, soap and powder every 6 or so weeks, so that's about $180 a year.
I bought baby towels and facecloths before my baby was born and they lasted right up until she was four. I spent $30 on 5 towels and a couple packs of facecloths.
Bibs- got given some at baby shower, but bought a few packs for $20 around about, these lasted the whole time needed.
Bassinet/Moses basket - needed for first 8 weeks, cost me $80
Crib- needed up until about 2- cost me $250
Stroller- needed up until about 3- cost me $150
Car seat- Bought a seat that was used from birth til 4 years. Cost $150
Blankets, sheets, duvets for crib- got given some at baby shower but probably costs about $100 for a couple pairs of sheets, blankets etc
Swaddling blankets- needed for first few weeks (I used them but not necessary) depending on brand etc but I got a few muslin wraps for $30.
Baby bath- optional, but I used one. $30
Medication such as baby Tylenol, gripe water, teething gel, teething powder etc about $50 all up the first year (depends)
Baby food- baby cereals, rusks, custards and other tinned foods probably about $90 a month (depends how much food baby eats. This price is based on my baby who at 7 months ate 2 tins a day, at $1.50 each) I also bought veggies and meat, and puréed these myself for baby. (this price will depend, as some babies don't start real food until a year old) my girl at 10-12 months was eating the same foods as I was.
Some people will put their children into childcare, this is another cost.
Where I live, medical attention for under 5's is free, but many people will have to pay for this as well.
Hope I haven't forgotten anything :)
Hope I helped!

What does Wi-Fi: WiFi 802.11 b/g/n Wireless internet mean?

Fay

I am buying a BC133 Android 4.0 Netbook and it says is has 'Wi-Fi: WiFi 802.11 b/g/n Wireless internet' and my parents say that it wont work with my router. I have a 1.3 (i think) router but idk what that means. XD i hope u can help me somehow cuz i really want SOMTHING other than a DSI ^w^

Thanx,
Fay

Answer
Hi,

That wireless protocol is defined as :-

802.11b has a maximum raw data rate of 11 Mbit/s and uses the same media access method defined in the original standard. 802.11b products appeared on the market in early 2000, since 802.11b is a direct extension of the modulation technique defined in the original standard. The dramatic increase in throughput of 802.11b (compared to the original standard) along with simultaneous substantial price reductions led to the rapid acceptance of 802.11b as the definitive wireless LAN technology.

802.11b devices suffer interference from other products operating in the 2.4 GHz band. Devices operating in the 2.4 GHz range include microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors, cordless telephones and some amateur radio equipment.

The other parameters, G and N upgrade the B parameter and the definition can be seen here :-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11#802.11b

As to whether your router is suitable you need to supply the make and model of the router or check online for the specs.

Where can I get a graphics tablet?

best baby monitor for geeks image

English Na

I need, well want, a graphics tablet, around A4 in size, and above all it needs to be cheap.
Does anyone know where I could get one in the UK?

Answer
I know where you can get a Really Decent one, for a nominal price. They should ship to the UK.
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=WP4030&cat=MOU

You may think, "It's too cheap to be any good. It must be a toy."

Nope!
1.512 levels of pressure sensitivity for the pen.
2.Tablet 'Hotspots', offer shortcuts to programs and menu commands.
3.Pen scroll function to browse documents and web pages

Pen is cordless. Contains a battery. One AAA battery. All kinds of software comes with it. (Pen Commander, Annotate for Word, PenSigner, Annotate All, PenMail, XP handwriting recognition support in Microsoft Word and Outlook, Adobe Photoshop CS (Trial), Corel Painter IX (Trial) [Probably newer versions of Adobe and Corel, now]

(Just reading off of the box, of mine)

I have had only ONE problem with it so far.

IT"S TOO INTRICATE!!
I'm so spoiled, (Or used to), with just using my mouse cursor for my Photoshop, that this digital tablet just draws TOO fine!
I can draw hairs on the human body, and make them look real!

I mean you can get down to ONE pixel!
This is for digital image editing. If you're going to draw freehand, this baby will do that easily. There's so many features, it's going to take me a while to use them with ease!

I wanted to check out a digital graphics tablet, for my Photoshop. I thought, hey, this isn't too expensive to see if I want a better one.

It works as good as the expensive ones!

All you need is a 3 inch by 4 inch space on the tablet. Your monitor is your drawing board.

Just my 2cent's.

How to fix my new computer Internet?

Emilee

I just got a Samsung Notebook Series 5 and it was a certified open box from Geek Squad which means they made sure everything was working properly before they sold it and when I brought it home and tried to go on the Internet it didn't work. My sister was using the same wifi and her computer was working just fine. So, I went to the control panel and clicked on troubleshooting for the Internet connection and it said there was a broken cable. I don't see any broken cable. It maybe internal in the actual laptop. The only time the Internet works is when I first turn it on and the longer lm on it or the more tabs I open up, the Internet stops working. I already brought it in TWICE to Geek squad and they haven't done sh** to fix it and I'm ready to just get a new computer. It's still within its warranty so they have been looking at it for free and I think that's maybe why they aren't doing anything. -.- I just really want to get it fixed! Can I do anything? Or do I just need a new computer?

Answer
When the computer tells you the cable is broken or disconnected, it is talking about the Ethernet LAN connection not the WiFi connection.

Most laptops have both Ethernet and WiFi adapters.

You could try connecting directly to your wireless router via a Ethernet cable.

You can get a stronger WiFi adapter that will improve your wireless range.

Wireless adapters come in many types and sizes, you may want a model with external antennas. Here is a highly rated USB model with dual antennas. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JWMOOI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B006JWMOOI&linkCode=as2&tag=excharge-20

That being said,

Wireless signals are affected by many factors including distance, wall density, electrical interference, directional antenna range, etc.

All of these factors will affect your actual wireless range. As wireless connection quality varies the connection speeds are renegotiated. The WLAN connection may start at 150 Mbps and end up at less than 10 Mbps or drop entirely.

Note: The WLAN connection speed is only between the device and the router, you are still limited by your WAN Internet speed provided by your ISP.

Often signal strength (bars) displayed by your device can be misleading, WiFi interference can cause havoc with consistent speed. You can prove this fact by moving your WiFi device closer to the wireless router and retesting the speeds. http://speedtest.net Be sure the wireless router is not close to other electrical equipment that may interfere with the WiFi signal.

You should try to centrally locate your wireless router or gateway up high and away from dense walls and electrical and 2.4 GHz wireless interference such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.

For serious gaming or video streaming your best bet is always a direct Ethernet connection. Ethernet is unaffected by wireless interference and will give you a rock solid, stable network connection.

Good Luck...

Is it okay to sleep a 2 month old on their tummy while an adult is present?

Kipani

My twins always fall asleep during tummy time... Anyway it would be so great if I could just allow them to sleep that way since they're up 90% of the day and it's so difficult to get them to sleep any other way.

Answer
Babies naturally are more comfy on their bellies and the risk of sids depends on so many different factors. I myself asked this question a month ago and did some research on sids and then decided my two month old could sleep on his stomach. He is in a cosleeper right next to my bed on a firm mattress and a sensor pad that came with my baby monitor which monitors his movement and breathing. This monitor has helped put my mind at ease. Now we are sleeping 6-8 hours a night :) instead of 2-3 intervals.
I would say as long as your babies can turn their heads from side to side try it if you are comfortable.....

Does anyone know where I could find a double baby monitor?

Auntie M

I need to find a double baby monitor for my sisters new house. She has 2 babies (16 month and 3 month) and needs a double monitor. What I mean is 2 receivers and 2 speakers that all work together so she can put a receiver in each of the babies rooms and 1 speaker upstairs and one downstairs. If anyone knows where I could find one online or in a store that would be great thanks :)

Answer
As far as I have been able to find, there is no such thing. You can't have two transmitters because they use the same radio frequencies - the signals interfere with each other so you just get static on the receiver. Same thing applies if you try buying two different sets of monitors - one for each baby - because ALL baby monitors share the same narrow range of frequencies due to government regulation of the radio frequencies.

My solution is to have one conventional baby monitor with 2 receivers (for one kid) and one intercom set for the other kid. The intercoms I'm using are a 3-piece set I bought from radio shack. They plug into the wall and will work 2-ways. You set the one in the baby's room to "lock" and turn the other ones on and it works just like a baby monitor. Since the baby monitor is wireless and the intercoms send the signal through the electrical wires of the house, the signals don't interfere with each other.

How can I improve my signal strength with a 900mhz wireless video baby monitor?

best baby video monitor no interference image

dcigary

We recently purchased a wireless video baby monitor, and although it does work, there is significant interference in the signal due to my computer room with several PC's and servers. Is there a way to boost this signal to compensate for the interference, or to set up a repeater for the signal?

Answer
If you have interference any sort of repeater or amplifier will only repeat and / or amplify the interference (noise) along with the desired transmission (signal). The problem is likely a signal to noise ratio problem and interference.

I presume you have done all you can with repositioning the units to make them closer together without getting closer to the interference. If not try that

With the electronic interference it becomes even more difficult to address. A baby monitor is nothing more than a microphone in the baby's room and a speaker in the monitoring room linked wirelessly. Can you use a wired system? This may be your only practical choice. Perhaps a 5 MHz

Been on a Mac since 1988. I (we) have 1/20th of the problems and 1/1000th of the viruses. Pop a CD/DVD in and it pops up on the screen. No C/://d/bk2C:// crap.

I have recommended Mac to the last 20 non-computer people that were looking for computers. Like suckers, they all bought el-cheapo's from chain stores with s/w they will never use. 85% said they should have listened.

If your going to use it seriously, invest the $$ into a good computer w/o the scanner, printer, baby monitor, camera, microphone, alarm clock/microwave options and a ton of useless s/w. No to mention the rediculous s/w upgrades every week.

Once you go MAC, you never go back :)

Why did the democrats cause the financial meltdown?

Q. Under President Jimmy Carter, the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was passed. It required federal financial institutions to encourage banks to give home loans to persons with little credit and low income. Economist Russell Roberts said that the CRA played a major role in creating the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the U.S.


Under Bill Clinton, the CRA was expanded and Clinton set targets for low-income home ownership at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Banks were forced by the federal government to provide bad loans to unqualified people.


Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) is Chairman of the Financial Services Committee in the House of Representatives. In 2003, he said of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: “These two entities – Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – are not facing any kind of financial crisis. The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.” In the late 1980s and early 90s, Frank was engaged in a sexual relationship with Herb Moses, who was Fannie Mae’s assistant director of product initiatives! Bill O’Reilly exposed Frank’s involvement in the mortgage crisis: YouTube - O 'Reilly - Barney Frank Had Affair with Fannie Mae Exec. Frank looked the other way, while our economy was being destroyed by federal policies created in Clinton and Carter Administrations. (Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae help fund the homosexual agenda.


In 2008, Freddie gave $20,000 to a Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) event; Fannie Mae gave nearly $19,000 to the same event. Freddie has donated $125,000 and Fannie donated $80,000 to homosexual groups since 2005.)


Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT) is head of the powerful banking committee in the Senate. He and Barney Frank consistently resisted attempts by the Bush Administration to closely regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Dodd also got preferential treatment from Countrywide on two mortgages. Countrywide was one of the biggest subprime providers.


Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd received thousands of dollars in contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac over the years. Dodd has received $133,900 since 1989; Frank received $40,100. (While in the Senate, Barack Obama received $105,849).


As long ago as 2003, President Bush was trying to get the House and Senate to carefully monitor the actions of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. His efforts were rejected by Democrats.


Obama associates headed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac during the years that the crisis was getting out of control. Obama friend Franklin Raines ran Fannie Mae and collected $50 million from it. Obama friend Jamie Gorelick worked for Fannie Mae and earned $26 million; Jim Johnson, formerly Obama’s vice president search committee chairman, hauled in millions from his work with Fannie Mae as CEO.


ACORN, the socialist group that routinely engages in voter fraud, was involved in pushing for risky loans to people with bad credit histories or little money for down payments. ACORN intimidated banks in Chicago and elsewhere to give risky loans! Obama actually trained ACORN workers when he was a community organizer in Chicago! ACORN used provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act to delay or halt efforts of banks to merge or expand until they had lowered their credit standards!

Answer
Well, they didn't. Someone seems to forget that just like in the Great Depression, this current mess was created by a decade of Republican legislation. And now they are crying like cry babies that it's Obama fault. Oh my! aren't they delusional.

How should i take care of my baby Western Painted Turtles?

best baby monitor under 100 image

KoopDaKill

I have two baby Western Painted turtles. What should be doing to keep them healthy.

Answer
Paints actually only get to about ten inches...

The rule of thumb posted by one poster is correct... however, a 50 gallon tank is a decent size for a SINGLE adult Paint. Since you have two, you'll want a minimum 75 gallon to give your turtles enough space. There's really no need to buy 100 gallon tank.

You need a submerged heater to keep the water at about 80 degrees, and a floating thermometer to monitor it.

Give them a nice habitat to live in... with plenty of artificial plants floating around to hide in, and something to lay on or under on the bottom of the tank-- like a rock cave, maybe or log.

They also need a dock to bask on with a heat lamp over it-- the lamp should maintain about 90 degrees. The lamp doesn't need to be on 24/7. I turn mine on for several hours a day-- some keep the lamps on all day and only switch them off at night. Either way is fine, so long as the turtles get some basking time each day.

For their diet, I recommend Repto Min floating sticks. You can get this at pretty much any pet store. Feed them the sticks once a a day, and and another food source once a day. Try fresh lettuce greens like romaine, kale, or mustard greens. Cherry tomatoes are great, too. And though adult turtles are primarily herbivore, the occasional meat is great in their diet. Mine get worms once a week and shrimp once a week. Try night crawlers, crickets, ghost shrimp, guppies, or shad. Also, the occasional cray fish.

I am thinking about getting a bearded dragon, how much would all the accessories cost?

David

I've been researching bearded dragons these last couple weeks and I am interested in getting one. I am an experienced pet owner when it comes to raising reptiles. I have raised snakes, turtles, and tortoises and am considering getting a baby bearded dragon soon. I want to set his tank up before i get him, any ideas on how much it would all cost?

Answer
First of all, you need this website: http://www.beardeddragon.org

You will learn everything you need there.

Secondly, DO NOT LISTEN TO ADVICE FROM THE PET STORE!! They don't know squat about caring for exotics, so make sure you know everything you need before you go, and don't let them talk you out of something you know to be true. That's why you need the above website!

Here is a basic list:

20g tank minimum. You'll need at least a 40g breeder when he's grown, so you may want to go ahead and get the bigger one. You can block off part of it if he seems intimidated by the size.
Craigslist is a great place to find cheap tanks.

Solid substrate for the bottom - Repticarpet, paper towels, non-adhesive shelf liner, or my favorite, tiles. Tiles are great. You only have to buy them once. They are super easy to clean and disinfect. They come in a lot of colors and styles so you can customize your look. They also help keep beardie's nails filed down. Sand, especially calcium sand, or any other particle substrate poses an impaction risk and should not be used for a dragon under one year old. And then washed childrens playsand is the only safe option. Please consider these cons about sand before you make a final decision, though.

*possible impaction risk
*have to keep buying it
*heavy
*hard to dump out for tank cleaning
*impossible to disinfect (it's important to disinfect any surface your dragon has pooped on because they do carry salmonella)
*stinks
**Absorbs moisture from poop, so that fecal bacteria is left behind even after you scoop out the solid waste. You dragon walks through this fecal matter and spreads it about his cage. He ends up living in what is basically a litter box.
**The left behind fecal bacteria can cause an increased risk of parasites

You can go real cheap here, pennies for paper towels or less than $10 for tiles.

Thermometer - A temp gun or digital indoor/outdoor therm with a probe on a wire. The stick on type are useless, and it's important that you accurately monitor your temps. The probe goes directly on the basking spot, and this temp should be 100-110. The cool side should stay around 80.
Wal Mart sells the Acurite Digital Weather Station for $12. It is an indoor/outdoor therm with the probe and works perfect for this application.

Heat bulb and fixture - Lowes and Wal Mart both have metal dome work light fixtures. These work great. The bulb can be just a regular household bulb. You might need to try different wattages to see which one gives you the temps you need. Usually a 75W or 100W will do.
Bulb <$1, Fixure: $10

UVB bulb and fixture - AVOID THE COMPACT COIL. Linear fluorescents provide the best UVB (besides MVB bulbs, but you can learn about that on bd.org) and REPTISUN 10.0 (not ReptiGLO) is the best fluor bulb on the US market. You can get the fixture at Lowes or Wal Mart for a reasonable price. Make sure the fixture does not have a glass or plastic shield over the light. Glass and plastic both completely filter UVB. The bulbs are way cheaper if you order them online from somewhere like Pet Mountain.
Bulb: $30-$60 depending on which type you get. The fluor needs to be replaced ever 6 months and the MVB just once a year so the yearly costs are about the same.
Fixture: 24" fluor fixture at Wal Mart for $8, or the work light fixture for MVB for $10.

Then you'll want some cage furniture, a basking rock or log, a hide if you like (although a hide isn't really necessary), some fake greenery to make it pretty. You might want to consider something to enclose 3 sides of your tank. Some beardies freak out about all the visibility, but some don't seem to notice. I used fake bamboo blinds to do this and it looked great.

You'll need a plan for your live feeders. Again, way cheaper to buy in bulk online than a few at a time at the pet store (and healthier too, no doubt). A 20 qt or bigger plastic tub does nicely. Cut a hole in the lid and hot glue or duct tape some screen on top for ventilation. You can learn all you need about caring for your crix at bd.org, and you can also learn about other feeders.

Here's a good website to tell you which veggies are good for your dragon:
http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.co…

Okay, just as important, I will give you a list of things NOT to get, no matter what the pet store tells you!

*calcium sand
*crushed walnut shells
*any substrate that has particles
*stick on thermometers
*crickets bigger than the space between his eyes
*mealworms
*compact coil UVB bulbs
*heat pad
*blue or red night light

Should I buy my own Internet cable modem or use the one from the cable company?

best baby monitor mac image

Kip

Is there any reason one way or another? Will a store bought modem work with my cable?

Answer
It depends,

Does the cable company give you a modem for free or do they want to lease you one at a monthly fee?

If so, how much is the fee?

Cable modems are relatively inexpensive and renting one can cost you more in the long run. Here is a good blog post: http://isp1.us/blog/time-warner-cable-internet-sued-for-modem-lease-rip-off/

Do you only have one computer or do you want to connect multiple devices to your cable Internet?

Two types of Internet devices are commonly sold.

1. Combination modem / routers, often called gateways.

2. Stand alone routers which can be connected to a stand alone modem.

DSL and Cable modems use different technology, for this reason you can't use a cable gateway (DOCSIS) with DSL or use a DSL gateway (ADSL2+) with a cable Internet connection.

Depending on the type of service you have, you'll need the proper type of wireless gateway or a broadband modem and separate wireless router.

Unlike DSL, for cable systems separate modems and routers are more common, although some cable gateway devices are available.

A highly rated DOCSIS 3.0 cable gateway is the Motorola SBG6580. It is currently about $120 at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040IUI46/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=excharge-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0040IUI46

You could also buy a standalone cable modem and connect it to a separate wireless router.

Be sure to get a newer compatible DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem such as the Motorola SB6120. It supports bonded channels and will increase your cable Internet performance.

If you buy an older DOCSIS 2.0 model and you are paying for a speed tier over 25 Mbps. then you will probably not see the throughput that you should.

I have Cox Cable 30 Mbps Internet and have had good luck with a DOCSIS 3.0 Motorola 6120. http://isp1.us/reviews/motorola-sb6120-surfboard/

You don't have to buy your modem or router from your ISP, you can get one from a local retailer such as BestBuy or Fry's or online from places like Amazon.

Most cable Internet providers use the cable modem's MAC address to activate the modem.

Every device that has a network interface has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. This is usually expressed in hexadecimal such as 10:25:A4:59:EF:1C

You'll have to call your cable provider with the MAC of the new modem so they can activate it on your account. The MAC address is usually printed on a sticker attached to the modem.

Separate wireless routers are fairly inexpensive. http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=wireless%20router&url=search-alias%3Daps&sprefix=wireless%20ro%2Caps%2C490&tag=excharge-20

As far as the brand goes, the brand is not as important as the model. Some manufacturers release a good model but the next is crap. I would look at the Amazon reviews of models that interest you. Even if you don't buy from Amazon the reviews will tell you a lot about which models to avoid. Look for at least 20 or more reviews with at least a 4 star rating. Read a few and see if they sound like the particular model will work for your application.

Wireless signals are affected by many factors including wall density, electrical interference, directional antenna range, etc.

Just because a particular wireless router works good at one location does not guarantee that it will have similar performance in a different location due to variance in the factors listed above.

If you are getting a new wireless router or gateway try to centrally locate it up high and away from dense walls and electrical and 2.4 GHz wireless interference such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.

Good Luck...

Is it ok to take NITROFURANTOIN MONO/MAC 100mg Caps at 33week pregnant if prescribe by a doctor?

jr

See ma girlfriend is pregnant,and she has a uti. Is ok for her to take NITROFURANTOIN MONO/MAC 100mg Caps?

Answer
Macrobid (brand name of Nitrofurantoin) is what is known as a Category B drug during pregnancy, meaning that there is no suspected harm to the unborn baby. HOWEVER, there are risks taking it late in pregnancy (usually in the last 2 to 4 weeks). If the doctor knows her history, how far along she is, and is trying to treat an indicated infection, I would say she is probably okay. Just monitor the baby and report any abnormal symptoms ASAP. Generally, this medication is taken for a short enough period of time that it's not going to be too detrimental. Again, always better to be safe than sorry. She should be okay. Just monitor her health and the baby's as well while taking the entire course of medication. Congratulations to you and your girlfriend :)

How often do i have to get oil changes?

J.T.

In March of this year i bought myself a daily commute to work , it's a 2012 Lexus IS250, and i feel stupid, i have never gotten an oil change! now it wont start! How often should i change oil? How much is the dealer gonna charge to fix my car?
The electricals work ! could it be the battery? TO be honest i haven't driven it in like 2 months, because i dont want to put alot of miles on it, i know i bought it for work, but still since its a Lexus its gonna be super damn expensive for repairs.
It does not turn over, when i try to crank, it just makes grinding noises and i may damage the starter

Answer
Aaaa who love's ya baby?

Your lexus is equipped with an oil life monitor. It takes into account crankcase temperature, moisture in the oil and other stuff and tells you when to change the oil. You should get a message on your display when it's time for a change. Do it within 1000 miles. When you do get the oil changed you must reset the oil life monitor. Check your owners manual for the procedure. Usually the mechanic will do it for you but confirm they do by checking it its set to 100%.

Even if you ignored the maintinance indicator I do not think it would keep your vehicle from starting. I am with others maybe a battery issue.

Give us some more info does it turn over our just clicking when you turn the key?

Edit : if you have not turned it on in 2 months its just a dead battery. Slap a charger on it 2 amps overnight or get it jumped and let it idle for an hour. Then start it up every few days.

How can we quiet down the baby in the middle of the night? She is not crying but cooing very loudly?

best kind of baby monitor image

2fine4u

The baby monitor is by our heads. Our little diva is not a crying baby. She is a very happy baby. Our prince's room is next to the nursery and she keeps him up too. She coos and plays loudly for half of the night. The only time that she stops is when one of us goes into the nursery and she just smiles at us. Crying is easy, but she plays and makes all kinds of noises. She is fine, but I never want to turn the monitors off. Suggestions.

Answer
aww thats soooo cute. i suggest just turning it down a bit. if shes really crying you can hear more easily. so either that, or put it further away in the room. hopefully that helps =]

What kind of baby monitor do you have?

cricket

Do you like your monitor?
What special features does your monitor have that you find useful?
Are there any bad things about your monitor?
Would you recommend it to a friend?
How many stars out of 5 would you give your monitor?

I'm looking to buy a monitor and would like all the info that I can get to make an informed decision since there are so many different ones out there. Thanks.

Answer
I think mine is a Safety 1st one from Walmart. I received it as a gift from someone before I had my baby and shower. It's nothing special - not the cheapest basic one but not the most expensive either. It's got 2 receivers, and like someone else said it picks up the noise really well. My daughter is 3 1/2, and I still use it when she's in bed and I'm at the other end of the house still up. I have had times where it's had interference, being able to hear other people in other places, but not often enough to be annoying or to stop me from being able to use it. I love it, and would definitely recommend it, I give it a 4 out of 5.

EDIT - this is almost exactly the same one I have, except mine has the light-up nightlight base and 2 receivers. Just to give you an idea...

Best way to track my fitness with iPhone apps?

best baby monitor with app image

philscalis

I have a degree in exercise science and am going to school for physical therapy now and really want to track my fitness now that I have an iPhone and I know the importance of health. However, after researching apps I'm not sure the best app or app combination to use. I want to get a heart rate monitor (wahoo or polar?) and many of the apps will sync with it. I want to track calories, GPS run mapping capabilities, nutritious intake, and I want to track my strength training regimen (sets, reps, etc). The my fitness pal app seems to do some of these things and you can also tie in other apps or sync them with it. However there are so many other ones and I want to know the best way to do this if anyone can help. So far I have downloaded: my fitness pal, endomondo, fitocracy, sportstracker, runkeeper, real intelligence fitness app, and digifit icardio. If someone can help me out it would be much appreciated. I would try them out but don't want to give my info and make an account for all of these apps if they aren't what I want.

Answer
I track some of the same stuff you do, but not everything and I've tried some of the products you have, but not all. However, here's my take:

1. I use Runkeeper as my basic app. I'm primarily a runner and so are most of my friends. It links easily to facebook if you are interested in that. For me, this is how I communicate with my running community. It has some other basic cardio functions in it as well (elliptical, etc)
2. Runkeeper has a GPS function to be used with the iphone, it's generally accurate within 0.1-0.3 mile. However, when I want to be really accurate, I still default to my garmin which I can still link to my Runkeeper account. (ie, when I'm racing or want to track elevation)
3. Realize also that when you use GPS function on your phone, it will wear down the battery very quickly. I'll use the Runkeeper GPS function if I'm running or cycling an hour or less, but it's not ideal for long distances.
4. Runkeeper and probably most fitness apps will link to a heart rate monitor. However, I'd first ask why you intend to use one? As a PT, myself, I've come to the realization that unless you have a medical condition that warrants it, tracking heart rate is overly burdensome for little pay off. Just used your rate of Rate of Perceived Exertion. Whether you are doing intervals or tempo workouts, it's your exertional effort that's the real issue. Most of the established "guidelines" for heart rate during exercise were established for patients recovering from cardiac events, not necessarily for healthy adult fitness. So, unless you want to get into research about cardiac effort, I'd say don't bother. I suppose you can use it if you want to get a MORE accurate idea of your caloric burn, but I have better options for that (more later). I DIDN"T use one for years, mostly because I take a beta blocker which throws the whole target heart rate out the window anyway. I'm using one now (more on that in a minute) only because I'm pregnant and NEED to make sure my heart rate doesn't go over a certain amount (and I have arguements about that anyway). I use the iphone app with it, but haven't linked it to my RK. It does record it on the wahoo site, but I never go back and look at it. The wahoo site also does GPS and if you get the hardware, you can link it with your bike or a foot pod.
5. If you do want to use a HR monitor, I use the wahoo. My husband and I both have Garmin 910XT's and even though he got the heart rate monitor for it, he's happier with the wahoo. Again, he's not even using it anymore and I am. However, I don't even bother logging my heart rate...I use it only as a warning system. I do think I can link it with RK, but haven't bothered. Once I have the baby, I'll stop using it. Not sure why hubby doesn't like the garmin monitor...I just took his word for it.
6. Now, onto strength. RK doesn't really have a place to log this. I used MapMyRun for awhile which at least gave me an idea of how long I was weight lifting and an approximation of calories. In my opinion, if you are looking for an app that does everything, I'd say be prepared for a really complicated app. I found that the more features it has, the less user friendly it becomes. This is how I felt about MMR. For strength training, I'd consider a separate app. Same thing goes for nutrition. There are probably apps out there designed just for that which are much more user friendly.
7. Back to calorie counting. All the apps give you a basic ESTIMATION of your calories burned based on your weight and work out parameters. Even if you are using a heart rate monitor, again, this is only an ESTIMATE. Unless you are in a lab, all these tools provide estimates only. However, if you really want to know what your body is using and burning, I'd recommend the Body Media System. It's about as accurate as you can get with calorie count without having to be in a lab. The web app also has a nutritional log.


So here's my take in a nutshell:
1. Use a basic app for your cardio. Runkeeper is my personal favorite. Only use the GPS for shorter workouts
2. Use a separate GPS (I've only used garmins) if you want to be really accurate with your distance or if you are doing a long work out and simply sync it to your cardio app (like RK) from the garmin site.
3. Don't bother with a HR monitor unless you have a medical reason to do so
4. Use a separate app for your weight lifting and nutrition.
5. Consider a body media system if you REALLY want an accurate calorie count. It's expensive new, but I got a Core basic system used on ebay for $32. (myself, I'm content using the basic estimates from my cardio app).

Maybe there's an app that does everything, but I find that it gets too complicated....I don't want to spend 30 minutes logging my info.

Have you had your membranes stripped during pregnancy?

Machelle

Hello, I am 38 weeks 2 days pregnant. I went to my doctors today and I am 3 ci dilated and the baby's head is very low. The doctor stripped my membranes and monitored me for a couple hours and nothing happened. What is your experience with membrane stripping, should this help me go into labor sooner?
oh and this is my second pregnancy , my little boy is 6 .

Answer
i had mine stripped at 37 weeks or so cause i was really really uncomfortable and had been for like the last trimester. so my OB did it. nothing happened for me.. it was uncomfortable and i started bleeding and spotting.... i went for my next app the next week and she induced me because my fluid was really low... so it didn't work for me, however i hear from a lot of women that it does work to naturally induce. i hope it works for you cause i know how you feel and it would be nice to finally get the pregnant thing over with and start with mother hood.. CONGRADS mommy to be.... i hope all goes well and GOD bless your little one!!!

How can I get faster internet?

Eric

Please, no smartaleck answers please! I'm willing to spend money.

Okay, so to start off with, I have horrible internet. It might be average compared to standards, but my friends literally have internet that is 100x faster than mine. No joke, I'll show the specs later.

Now, I know a bit about internet. There's 802.11a/b/g/n/ac. I'm pretty sure 802.11ac just came out and most people have 802.11n. However, after some simple investigation, I discovered that I was still on 802.11a, and of course then had WEP encryption. WEP is easily hackable, and 802.11a, as I understand it, has a very bad range. It gets interference from nearly EVERYTHING (microwaves, baby monitors, etc.)

As everyone knows, 802.11a has a LIMIT of 54mbps. However, I usually get around 0.7 mbps, at best. I sure would love to see that 1080p icon at least once in my life. However, at my friend's house, I downloaded a 50MB app for my iPod, and I saw that it installed within seconds. After the initial shock, I ran a quick speed test and it said that I was getting 33mbps down and 19mbps up! At my school, speeds are even higher with 92mbps down and 47mbps up (but of course they use ethernet so that doesn't mean anything)! At my house, I get around 0.65mbps down and 0.28mbps up, usually. As you can see, this is literally over 20X slower than other areas I have ran a speedtest.

Therefore, how can I get either 1) faster 802.11a or 2) what type of router should I get (either 802.11n or 802.11ac) as a replacement?
I have the $29.95/mo plan from AT&T.

Answer
Stick with 802.11n for now. To get faster internet talk to your ISP, or several ISPs if you have a choice, to see what speeds they have on offer. Start by finding out what ISP your friend uses. Also, ISPs often will provide a good router for free or nearly free, so check out that aspect before shelling out your own $$ for one.

Do US landline phones work in El Salvador?

best 900 mhz video baby monitor image

Rip in Gle

A friend in El Salvador would like a phone with an answering machine and caller ID. Do phones purchased in the U.S. work in El Salvador? I did a little research and it appears they use the same caller ID standard, but I know, for example, that phones here meet FCC regulations, and I don't know if there are similar requirements in El Salvador, or different requirements that U.S. phones typically don't meet.
Just a quick note for other prospective answerers - yes, they have the same AC voltage, frequency, and plugs. I'm more concerned about switching and caller ID standards. Also, cordless phones transmit at frequencies assigned by the FCC and designed not to interfere with communications of other devices in the United States, but those bands aren't necessarily standard world-wide.

the think you should check to see if it is compatible would be the electrical power for the base of the answering machine/cordless phone... the phone should work fine down there.. i believe that they use the same outlets as us, but i would double check if i were you ...

EDIT-
" assigned by the FCC and designed not to interfere with communications of other devices" no, they just set aside a range of unlicensed frequencies for low power consumer electronics as far as telephones are concerned.. guess you have been lucky not to have much problem in the 2.4Ghz or 900 Mhz ranges, where there are way too many consumer electronic devices - wifi, cordless phones, baby monitors, wireless door bells, wireless video cameras, etc, etc, etc...

do not see the standard used in elsalvador, but would assume that they use bellcore FSK as the US does, so caller ID should be compatible.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caller_ID
