I'm a professional bodybuilder and it sounds like you know what you are doing. Right now you are probably in the plateau stage of weightlifting, it's a *****. Do heavy weights. You have to change up your exercises, instead of doing bench press do dumbell bench press, instead of dumbbell curls do barbell curls, etc. I repeat do HEAVY weights no more that 8 reps per exercise. Work out with a friend to you will be suprised how much more weight you can do with someone watching. Also it helped me when i was in school to go the school weight room, it just made me feel stronger. good luckBody building tips or advice?
Before you go any further, you need to look at why you have this goal of yours.
For the most part, body building is geared towards either athletics or looking good. Most sports don't need too much muscle mass.
And while some people might like the appearance of body builders, when body builders age, they acquire tons of health problems.
My advice is to stick at where you are right now, and concentrate on maintaining strength and endurance, and not size and weight.

ADVANCED PIANISTS(classical): Could you give me some advice on building a piano repertoire of classical music
Most of what I play is Richard Clayderman ballads and I only know a few classics including Gymnopedie No. 1, Fur Elise and the 1st mvt of the Moonlight Sonata. Which pieces would you suggest from your own repertoire?ADVANCED PIANISTS(classical): Could you give me some advice on building a piano repertoire of classical music
I am not an advanced classical pianist, though my daughter in law is. When she started her program in grad school, she chose a number of pieces which included Beethoven's Pathetique (very long) and one or two of his shorter sonatas and Chopin. She has since moved on to some Bach pieces and recently Rachmaninoff. She is also working on a lengthy really difficult Shubert sonata. Have you tried to play Claire de Lune by DeBussy? It's really lovely (though too tough for me!)

My fixed rate mortgage ends in december with chelsea building soceity. any basic advice or steps to take?
im on quite a low income and manage financially presently, but when december comes fixed term ends. no idea about best way to approach this. would really appreciate some advice while i have 3/4 months left. any ideas. thanksMy fixed rate mortgage ends in december with chelsea building soceity. any basic advice or steps to take?
If you do nothing your fixed rate will automatically revert to the Chelsea's standard variable rate currently 5.79% (comparatively high). They do have new fixed rates solely for good existing customers, so your first step should be to ask them what THEY can offer you.(it might be too soon so you might have to leave it til Oct/Nov). You intimated you are on a low income so that might mean remortgaging could be difficult. However, once you have the new Chelsea 'offerings' then get professional advice from an Independent Mortgage Adviser who can assess the viability of getting something better elsewhere. Please be wary of amateur answers.My fixed rate mortgage ends in december with chelsea building soceity. any basic advice or steps to take?
Start looking for another bank that will finance you. How can a fixed rate mortgage end? Find some one to take the loan at a fixed rate now. don't wait. Try national city bank or go to a loan mortgagor. Now is the time before it ends. First option mortgage closes loans in 8 days. You can re-fi at a low rate like maybe 4.5? Go for it .
It sounds like you should check into refinancing. Call some lenders and explain your situation. They can tell you if they can help you. Interest rates are pretty low right now so you might be able to refinance and keep your payments about the same.
go see a independent financial advisor some are free some work on commission basis some charge a fee
they can advise you on the best option from a large range of banks and building societies rather then just the one sourceeye color

Need advice building a pc?
i was planing on building a mid range gaming pc
and i need to know whats better 2 9600gt /w 1gb ram
or 1 285gtx ocNeed advice building a pc?
GTX285, no doubt about it. It's the second best single GPU made by nVidia to date, it'll blow the 2 9600GTs out of the water. Get the GTX285, or upgrade to a GTX295 ($500), that works too. However, for a mid-range gaming PC, just get a GTX275 or an ATI HD4870 to save money without sacrificing much performance. Here's a graphics card hierarchy chart:

Hope this helps, good luck!Need advice building a pc?
the gtx 285 is by far a lot better than 2 9600gt's.....no comparison really....if you can get the gtx 285 get it.....you will be glad you did......
if your going for a midrange pc i would go with the gts 250or the gtx 260 and on the ATI side i would go with a HD Radeon 4850 or the 4870...great performance for the cost of those 4 video cards.....

Building new HT with an Onkyo TX-SR805 + Aperion Intimus 532 XD Speakers. Any Advice, other brands, value / $?
I am not a professional audio or a tech savy guy, but I've checked some reviews and it seems to be a very good mid range system.
I also considered Polk audio for the speakers and Yamaha RX-V2700 as receiver (given its networking capabilities).
My budget is around $2,500. Should I consider other receivers or speakers?Building new HT with an Onkyo TX-SR805 + Aperion Intimus 532 XD Speakers. Any Advice, other brands, value / $?
Stick with Onkyo - the beast deal on the market, with HDMI1.3a and new HD audio processors.
There is a company called NHT - well known in High End circles, but not one of those BestBuy brands.
Their classic series awesome - at realistic prices.
I saw it on sale at http://www.audioadvisor.com/searchprods.鈥?/a>
Classic four (fronts) for $999. Classic Two (rears) $250, Classic Three C (Center) $175. Classic twelve sub $250.Building new HT with an Onkyo TX-SR805 + Aperion Intimus 532 XD Speakers. Any Advice, other brands, value / $?
Howdy, I am building a a new sound system myself.
The Onkyo looks really good!
I bought a Harman Kardon and am really happy with it.
Here are some other direct marketing speaker manufacturers
you might want to check out.
Ascend Acoustics: I bought a pair of the CBM 170 SE and they sound great. They are similar to the speakers you have listed but have greater sensitivity.
http://www.ascendacoustics.com/
These speakers got my attention but I didn't think I had the proper room for them. They are planar ribbon speakers and are supposed to sound great!
http://www.magnepan.com/
I spoke with one of the engineers at Axion Audio and he was really excited about their line of speakers.
http://www.axiomaudio.com/
HSU Research is supposed to have one of the best sub woofers on the market. I plan on buying one as soon as budget permits :-)
http://www.hsuresearch.com/
There are many high quality speakers on the market.
The ones I have listed give you more for your money. This is important to me as I have work within a budget, but do not want to comprimise sound quality.
Good Luck!eye color

We are building and instead of renting will be living in a camper w/ 2 under 2 yrs. Any experinced advice?
we are in the process of building our house and I just want to know if anyone has lived in a camper or similar situation with babies and would like any words of wisdom or things you couldn't live without, that kind of thing. If you have any advice for keeping a sane environment plz share :)We are building and instead of renting will be living in a camper w/ 2 under 2 yrs. Any experinced advice?
When I was about 4 my mom left my abusive dad and moved me and my sister into a hotel room. We were there about 6 months in tight quarters. My sister was a little under a year old.
The only advice I can give is make sure to get the kids out to burn energy. We went to the park nearly every day and she always made sure we had plenty to do to keep us busy.
Good luck!We are building and instead of renting will be living in a camper w/ 2 under 2 yrs. Any experinced advice?
don't do it is the only advice i have..lol. we got transferred for my husbands job an his employer paid for a suite at the Marriott for 30 days while we looked for a new place. i had my 3 year old son and was pregnant with my daughter. it was awful!. no room to move around really, hardly any privacy except for at night when my son was asleep in the joining room. the garbage piled up and i can only imagine how bad it would have been if he was still in diapers. you will need tons of patience. good luck and congrats on the house.
Serousally go wild childproofing, if they are going to get into something dangerous it will be fairly wuickly in that small of space. Make sure you have lots of toys and coloring stuff, and take your kids outside as often as possiable

Advice on building a bare bones PC?
Hello I would like to build a barebones pc. I have basic knowledge of computers and am wondering if you think i could assemble it. Also are their any books you recomend i read to help me with building the pc. Any advice, opinions, or experiance is great. ThanksAdvice on building a bare bones PC?
I build computers for a living, If you send me an email or hit me up on aim tonight after 7pm central time i'll point you to some good guides and help you out with any questions. Oh and yes...you can definately build a pc, it just requires you to let go of the fear of messing something up. anyway
my aim= dYnAm1c1024Advice on building a bare bones PC?
dont need books decided your price range get the best motherboard cpu dual core got both as good deal most places harddrive 120 gb dvd drive power unit over 400 watt also get a graphic card if not built into motherboard and choose your tower instructions come with motherboard as well as drivers make sure you have your windows disk as well
bigellows computer maintenance is a good book to start off with you can all so look on www.tomshardware.com for reviews on all hard ware reviews. I use www.ebuyer.com they can deliver in 24hrs and safe site to buy from i have built over 1000 comps the key is to work out what u want to use it for i.e gaming or office, gaming comps all ways cost more. then work out Ur budget. the key genrally is get the best mainboard and psu u can get then work from there.
I have been building PC's for a long time. A lot of it comes from experience. You could buy a bare bones kit from a website like newegg or tigerdirect and then assemble it yourself.
The part that can be the most difficult is applying the thermal paste to the CPU. If you are using a stock CPU its not very difficult,
The best place for help would be a techie forum. maximumpc.com has some decent forums. (they are a PC Mag)
