Take a good look at the room in which you're putting your speakers before you begin shopping, ideally from the main seating area. Draw a quick sketch of the room's shape, contents, windows and openings to other rooms. Where do you plan to put each speaker? If you plan to buy smaller speakers, will you put them on the floor or mount them on the wall? Should you be considering in-wall or in-ceiling speakers? Where is the subwoofer going to sit? Obviously, your room's size and layout are big factors in determining what type and how many speakers you will need. A knowledgeable AV professional can help you determine an appropriate speaker configuration for your room. Good sound is truly addictive, and it's important to build relationships with knowledgeable, trustworthy professionals whom you can turn to whenever you need assistance or the urge strikes to expand upon your system.

Audio Myth: You have to be a hardcore audiophile to hear and The dramatically rising cost of home heating is a bothersome concern for most Canadians. Heating your home efficiently this winter will be the key to keeping your energy costs under control. Here are some quick, easy and, most importantly, inexpensive ways to maximize warmth and minimize impact to your pocketbook: - Adjust Your Personal Thermostat: Wear a sweater and dress warmly around the house. When you're stationary, watching television or reading, you're most susceptible to a chill, so toss a throw around you. Since hot air rises, resist the icy influence of cooler floors with thick socks or slippers. - Adjust Your Home Thermostat: It goes without saying that the less energy you use, the lower your heating bills will be. Set your thermostat at 21°C when you're home awake, 18°C when you're sleeping and 15°C when you're out of the house. Purchase a programmable thermostat to reduce you heating bill by as much as 20 per cent. - Let the Sun Shine In: While up to 25 per cent of your home's heat is lost through its windows, they are also a source of solar warmth. During daylight hours, keep your drapes open and let the sun help heat your home. Insulate your windows with plastic film to reduce heat loss by 50 per cent. Insulating curtains are expensive, but pay for themselves within 7 years. Now is also a great time for an Energy Audit... Call me to find out about government rebates and incentives. A brush.

What is all the fuss about? 905-827-0301 al Annu 3rd Q: A: Q A : During the interview process, it is suggested that you "brag" about your experience and skills, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Is it proper job search etiquette? : Most of us have real difficulty telling other people about how good we are. We consider it bad form, impolite and evidence of a conceited and self-absorbed personality. That may be true in other situations, but the interview is an exception. Here your success lies in your ability to communicate your strengths and the belief that you are probably a better candidate than the others, while not sounding stricken with delusions of grandeur. Find the right way to express your strengths in a positive and forthright manner. Done well, it demonstrates confidence, not conceit. You want to help the employer share in your enthusiasm!

Dentists throughout the ages have always struggled to find the best way to replace missing teeth. People want to be able to chew and smile as if no teeth had ever been lost. Dentures are removable so they wobble and fall out. Replacing just a few missing teeth using a "fixed bridge" means grinding down the adjacent teeth, often teeth that do not even have a filling in them, to anchor new artificial ones. Today, we are closer than ever, to the "holy grail" of replacing a lost tooth with another by using dental implants. These are artificial roots made of titanium that are placed into the bone, and it works! Jaw bone loves titanium and the bone grows tightly against it. Teeth can be added atop the implants, replacing missing teeth, without affecting nearby healthy ones. If all teeth are lost, implants can be used to give you teeth that work like your old ones. If all teeth are lost, implants can be used to give you teeth that work like your old ones. Implants can even be used economically with removable dentures. A denture can be anchored by as few as two implants so that previously wobbly dentures stay in place. Adding a few more can allow dentures to be made that not only retain, but support a denture, allowing you to bite down much harder than with a denture alone. And what a change this has made in many peoples lives! Dentistry today can help people in ways that we could only dream of just a few years ago, and we want everyone to know about it. + a non-perishable food item for FOODPATH to become an exhibitor or for more info please call: 905.845.8536 Great things start with a warm healthy smile! the dentist@dentistry4.com www.dentistry4.com tickets available at the door and at formula media group/ west of the city, 447 speers road, oakville If you have any questions these professionals can answer, please write to: "Ask the Professionals" c/o The Oakville Beaver, 467 Speers Road, Oakville L6K 3S4 or fax to: 905-337-5568 Sponsored by 7 & 8:30 p.m. shopping food sampling cocktails door prizes entertainment fashion shows rls ight gi n ut o Wednesday November oakville conference & banquet centre 2515 Wyecroft Road, Oakville 28th doors open at 6 pm $1 $1O
