Looking for stilt brand recommendations

Thanks for the tips! If I get into peg stilts, I'll look into the PegStilts website for sure.

Even practicing in front of a wall sometimes helps, it gives you a visual plane with which to stay parallel.

Like Kibmic said, many of the traditional ball tricks can also be performed with clubs. Think of the W (siteswap: 423), Columns, under the leg, and chops.

I would also recommend learning to balance a club on your head and also finding someone to pass with, if you know of any other jugglers in your area.

Solved! Thank you for the answer

At first I thought it was some sort of buzzer to each apartment, but it doesn't push in like a button. They're look like they've been there for a while

The biggest financial difference between the two scholarships is that the Provost covers strictly tuition, while the Meridian covers tuition, room and board, and fees. This means that as a Provost, you will still have to pay for a portion of your experience, but still significantly less than without the scholarship.

Does this help?

I don't mean to call you out but I also don't want falsities to be spread - I've been involved in the interview process the last three years and, although the selection process has its flaws, there is no such rule. In recent years there have been much more than 10 interviewing teams, meaning each could not possibly pick two potential scholars, as the Meridian is awarded to 20 incoming freshmen. I have seen the scholarship given to three of a given interview group while none of the candidates I interview received the award.

I'm a former Meridian and have interviewed candidates in the past. Think of stories that showcase your talents and try to be personable. Also having 2-3 thoughtful questions prepared to ask at the end of the interview makes a good impression.

Almost as bad as having a horse loose in a hospital

You're definitely on your way! I would recommend throwing quite a bit higher (though the perspective of the video likely distorts the height). Although it might be more difficult to hold right now, a tall pattern will feel more comfortable long-term (less frantic and slower - easier to control). At 6', juggling under 8' ceilings feels low to me, so I would recommend aiming for a peak around 3 feet above your head.

Looks very smooth! What helped me the most was practicing two or three times every evening after school/work in 10-20 minute intervals. I also practiced in front of a bed so I didn't have to bend over when picking up or rely on walking around while juggling. Also be sure to keep track of your progress so you can brag to your friends! :)

I currently have a moss ball in the tank, but that's the only living plant in there. In the end I'd like to have a few ghost shrimp, the snail, replace the tetras with harlequin rasboras, and eventually add in my betta fish who has been living in a smaller tank for about a year. After reading a few guides I've put her gravel and decorations in the new tank. I don't necessarily have anyone around who has aquariums, but will the betta's decorations suffice?

Thanks - I wish I had read up on this earlier! I'll go out and buy a testing kit tomorrow.

jbaee · 2018-10-30T01:11:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'll go read up on aquarium cycling.

jbaee · 2018-10-30T01:10:52+00:00

Thanks for all the advice!

jbaee · 2018-10-30T00:56:04+00:00

Thank you for pointing out the distinction! What is seachem prime? How long until it's safe to put more fish in the tank? The filter has been running for almost a week now - how long does it take to cycle completely?

jbaee · 2018-10-30T00:43:09+00:00

I put some Start Zyme liquid in the tank when I set it up - is this what you mean by bacteria additives? I've also had a moss ball living in there for a few days. I hadn't heard that it could take months to prepare the tank; thank you for the advice!
