How long do figure skates usually last?

I want to get my own figure skates....how long do they last? And what brands are good?How long do figure skates usually last?
When I was competing (hence skating 3-4 hours every day) my skates would last about a year. I wore custom made Harlicks because my feet were too narrow for off the shelf boots.





When I went back to skating as an adult and only skated twice a week, I wore SP Terri's and they lasted me about 2 years so far.How long do figure skates usually last?
Usually about 6 months to 2 years, depending on what type of skates you have, how fast your feet grow, and how often you skate. Mine usually last about a year and I have Harlick skating boots and mk vision blades.





Any brand is good, it just depends on which feel the best on your feet. You probably want to find a pro shop near you that can help you find the right boot for you.
Take it from a figure skater with not only feet that are different sizes but also from someone whose feet have been royally messed up because of skating! If your feet don't have a distinctive arch, DO NOT get Harlicks. I have the most beautiful pair of Harlick custom made skates barely ever skated in because of that little known fact. Also, if you are skating recreationally they will last you about a 1 1/2 years. Also, some good advice: if you're younger and your feet are still growing then you should not get skates that you will ';grow into'; although this can be a money saver it is very bad for your feet. It can cause bone spurs and hammer toes. Skating is an amazing sport but it is so important that whoever fits you for skates does a good job. SP teri's are awesome skates and Graf skates are right up there as well. I would stay away from Riedell if you want to get competitive. Some good blades are Vision blades, whether you're doing double jumps or just starting your singles. Good Luck!
it depends whether you're still growing or not and how many hours a week you usually skate. the more you skate, the faster they break down.


about brands: I wear Riedells and they're great for me. I have a friend who wears Harlick skates and they're great for her. I've also heard that SP Teri and Jackson are also good brands.


if you have a lot of questions about the skates you have or are planning to buy, you should try asking your coach or the staff at your local skate shop.
Usually about a year, depending on how much you skate. You can tell when you have no support left in them and that's when you need a new pair. I like Riedell's skates, and Jackson's but it all comes down to personal preference.
Donald jacksons and grafs are really good the only ones ive ever used and skates tend to last between a year and two years depending if your feet are done growing and home much u use them and the jumps u are doin the higher the jumps the faster you'll break them down
Ice skates usually 1/2 a year to a year it depends if u are like a real figure skater and u do jumps and stuff probably only a half year if u just want them to just go skating and just skate they'll probably last over a year or until u outgrow them. If u want a good brand riedell skates are really good so are Jackson skates but riedells brake in faster or if your really good custom made skates are awesome but if u just want a pair of skates my favorite are riedells there the bomb
They last for about two years. The best brand would be Artists.
If your feet are still growing, then your skates will not last long at all. If you are growing out of sizes quickly, then you do not want to get a really expensive pair that you will only wear for a couple of months before you need new ones. When your feet have stopped growing or are taking a break from growing, then you can get a really nice pair. I personally wear Riedell figure skates. I have had those for almost two years. Your skates will last as long as they are comfortable for you. The wear and tear of figure skating will not do any damage to them. They just might get a little scratched up. The more times a week that you skate, the less time that they will last. When you get your skates, make sure that you get them heat molded. That is when the skates are heated up and then you put them on for a few minutes, so that the skates mold to your feet. That way, they are much more comfortable for you.

How do I figure out my future GPA?

I currently have a 3.17 GPA. This semester I am taking 4 courses, all worth 3 units each. If I end the semester with 3 Bs and 1 F, what will my GPA be?How do I figure out my future GPA?
When calculating a GPA, each of the letter grades are assigned a different value:


A - 4


B - 3


C - 2


D - 1


F - 0





To calculate a semester GPA, multiply the credit hours (units) for each class by the grade number that you receive in that class and divide by the total number of credit hours (units) taken that semester.





To calculate your semester GPA:


GPA = [(3 units) x (3) + (3 units) x (3) + (3 units) x (3) + (3 units) x (0)] / (4 x 3 units)


GPA = (27) / (12)


GPA = 2.25





So the GPA for the current semester would be 2.25.


To calculate an overall GPA update from 3.17, you would need to use the same process for all the classes you have taken so far. You can't just average them unfortunately. The reason for this is because your total GPA reflects your overall grade average for all classes that you have taken.How do I figure out my future GPA?
You have to find the average. Each grade has a number:





A=4


B=3


C=2


D=1


F=0





You took a total of 4 classes.You have 3 B's so 3+3+3=9. Your F isn't worth anything. To find the average you have to divide.





9/4=2.25





That's your GPA for this term. to get your overall. You have to add the 2 GPA's and then divide by 2.





(3.17+2.25)/2= 2.71





That's what your final GPA would be.
Actually you would need to know how many points and hours you have accumulated multiply 9 (B) hours times 3 and add the 12 hours you completed this semester to the total and divide the points by the hours for your average. (I bet your not studying math. LOL)
That will be a 2.25 for the semester. for a cumulative score for 2.71.





That F really messes you up.
with the 3 b's and 1 f the gpa will be 2.5 so you average that into the 3.17 gpa so it would be 2.9 overall.

How do I figure out how much I should sell my salsa for?

I know how much it costs me to make but how do figure labor and how much to keep for profit? and all that...How do I figure out how much I should sell my salsa for?
Let's say you want to sell your salsa in pint jars....





Calculate the cost per pint that it takes to make your salsa. This includes all of the ingredients, the shipping (or gas for your car) cost it took for the ingreedients to get to your kitchen, the jar/container to put it in, the label and its printing you put on the jar. That's you base materials cost.





Now calculate your labor. How long does it take to make a pint of salsa (#hours to make a batch / number of pints produced)? Multiply that by how much your time (or your employees' time) is worth. That's your labor cost.





Now calculate (estimate) the other costs involved. The electricity/gas to power the stove %26amp; lights in the kitchen, the water, the cleaning supplies used to keep the kitchen %26amp; pans clean, phone bill to take the orders, the rent %26amp; insurance for the building in which the salsa is made, taxes, etc... That's your production cost.





Now, add them all of up! If your costs per pint of salsa total more than what your compeditors are selling their salsa for, you'll need to rethink how you produce salsa (can you make it cheaper). If your costs are less, then determine what price you think you could compete with them. If your total cost is $3 and competitors sell theirs for $6 then you could make a profit of $3 if you sold for the same price. Or you could make a $2 if you sold for $5 - a $1 under your compeditor which might give you a marketing edge.

If Sally can paint a house in 4 hours, and John can paint the same house in 6 hour, how long will it take for both of them to paint the house together?


The answer is 2 hours and 24 minutes. But how do i figure that out?


Thanks.How do I figure this problem out?
Sally can paint the house in 4 hours or she can paint 1/4 of the house in 1 hour.


John can paint the house in 6 hours or he can paint 1/6 of the house in 1 hour





( 1/4 + 1/6)x = 1





(3/12 + 2/12)x = 1





5/12x = 1





x = 12/5





x = 2.4 hours or 2 hours and 24 minutes

How can I figure out what my ovulation cycle is?

How can I calculate when I'm most fertile and when I am ovulating?How can I figure out what my ovulation cycle is?
I went through alot! Pills,Ovulation test,watching the calendar,Taking my temp!!! You name it and my husband and I probably tried it!! We tried for 3 years!!! My friend gave me this advice and I got pregnant in 3 months after trying it the way she told me!! *Below is what she told me*





Remember you ovulate 14-16 days before you start your period. The time to have sex to get pregnant is when you are very wet,slippery,and stretchy down there*******,alot of women's right or left side will hurt when the egg is released.******* You need to have sex atleast two or three times the week of ovulation to get preganant.*****VERY IMPORTANT! Stay laying down 30-45 minutes after sex DO NOT GET UP AT ALL.WAIT TO PEE!!! *****It takes 30-45 minutes for the sperm to reach the egg to fertilize it.Hope this helps!!:) Good luck****





It took me three years of trying and I got this advice from a friend and I got pregnant in Three months after I took her advice:)


All it really is is just paying attention to your body! :) Once you get that down you might as well go out and start buying maternity clothes and baby items!!! :)


How can I figure out what my ovulation cycle is?
go to www.woomb.org it is site for the billings method. You chart your mucus pattern and pay attention to your body and within a couple months you will know when you ovulate and when you get your period. I use this with my hubby and no birth control and we have successfully planned our two children exactly when we wanted them. I am a month pregnant and we were successful our first time trying. It takes some time and abstinence for the first couple months until you figures your pattern but it is well worth it! good luck and I really hope this helps.

I started taking figure skating privates how often should i go?

now i go once a week for an hour i think i need more. also how much should this cost? im 14 and on freestyle 2 and is this a normal level for my age or am i behind?I started taking figure skating privates how often should i go?
There is no average level for any age. It all depends on the individual person. There probably is an average for the amount of time that you've been skating though. But don't worry, you're doing fine. I would go more though. At least 2 or 3 times a week. A coach really does help. From what I've seen, 1/2 an hr of private coach time runs about $20ish dollars.I started taking figure skating privates how often should i go?
well i would suggest going for 3 times a week


for 2 hours


where i go its like 20$ per lesson with a Trainer

They sell measuring Jugs with both on them
do a search for conversion charts...there are many to pick from
150 ml of water = 2/3 cup


300g of sugar = is about 1 1/4 cup
In order to measure out the 300 mg you will need to look on your sugar bag and look at the serving size which will be measured in spoons or ounces.That is how you will be able to tell how much equals 300mg. 30ml = 1 oz. so 150 ml = 5 oz. P.S. I looked on my sugar bag and 1tsp = 4 grams so there you have it.Good Luck

How did you figure you out you were gay?

I am confused about myself and need advice, please include dealing with being religious and gay??? Because Im Christian too, and feel like Im not straight, I have been involved with the same sex alot, and im scared....How did you figure you out you were gay?
Look, I'm Catholic, and I would never give up on God. But, God has to know that I definitely never chose to be gay, and He MUST know that I will always love him and believe in him, in my times of strife and happiness. The Bible does say things about gay people and terror, but those are only guidelines for living, not condemnations. It's kind of like Jewish people breaking Kosher; they're not going to burn for eternity because they ate pork.





For the record, I kind of started out gay in 5th grade when I thought my math teacher was cute. And I started liking guys my age when I was in 8th grade. How did you figure you out you were gay?
i realized i was gay when i saw a dick on the computer and though wow thats really nice!...and im a christian but im still gay, sure the bible may say that it is a sin but the bible also says that divorce is a sin and that it is ok to sell you daughter to slavery so you just have to believe that as long as you live a good life god will accept you no matter what
Most of the homophobia that people associate with Christianity has very little to do with the religion itself. It's people who have decided to interpret the scripture to make other people feel bad about who they are. There are several instances where homosexuality is condemned in the Bible, but so is eating pork and other things that people have dismissed in the name of convenience or desires. Jesus loved all his people, no matter what. Don't listen to those who tell you different.
It's not rocket science. You are what you are and if you have strong sexual inclinations toward the same sex you are by definition gay or bi-sexual. True bisexuality is very, very rare. Remember, your sexuality is not a choice, your religion is.
It's ok! Do not listen to the hatred they spew, what is more important is your own personal relationship with God. Be yourself God loves you for who you are. It is not the preachers who decide what happens when you die anyways =o.
Dont worry about the Christianity thing.





God wouldn't make us this way if it was truly a sin, and despised it.





Seriously think about it, besides he loves and forgives all his creations.
I figured it out when I saw a girl and I got ';excited.'; I think that happened when I was about 11.
