Yes.  U_Verse (at least in the Stonetree tract) has been available from the get-go (we had U-Verse internet back when we bought the house in 2007). The installer (so take this with a grain of salt) claims that the newer Woodbury homes have been built with fiber to the home, so in theory gigabit...

I've been living with Gigapower (1gbps) for the last month or so...some observations: 1.  Superfast uploads.  I agree with the above comments that the download speed improvement (I came from Cox 50mbps) isn't' really noticeable unless you're downloading large files.  However, getting files from...

He just turned five.  I think he's got at least another 4 years before the league moves to 10 ft rims.  I've heard two schools of thought.  The first is that the faster he transitions to 10 ft baskets, the better (to get him used to it).  The other school of thought is that if he's "heaving" the...

I looked at that, but my HOA won't allow it in the common areas, and my backyard is too small to fit one otherwise.

I'll second the Wintersburg program.  We like it, but I'm biased (since I'm a coach in the program  :)).  The good part about having a church-centered programs is that you don't get the same "alpha parent" mentality you see in programs like Irvine Pony (where everyone seems to be gunning for a...

My son enjoys playing basketball, but the program he is in uses lower (8 ft) basketball hoops.  Any suggestions where in Irvine we can find lower hoops for small kids?  He's too small to make it to the 10 ft and 9 ft hoops that are common at the elementary schools, and the gyms that do have the...

Thanks for the advice, all.  Will DM USCTrojanCPA.  I wonder if the service quality and pricing extends to Bruins?

The lesson I learned throughout my son's time at preschool is at that level, it doesn't really matter what he is learning per se.  It is more about socializing with peers, loving school, and learning how to take instructions from teachers in prep for kindergarten.  With that perspective, I...

It's been a long time since I've been in this space, but it may be time to look at selling our home in Woodbury for a larger SFR.  In 8 years, it's amazing how much has changed in the world of real estate. We currently own a Plan 3 Stonetree Manor in Woodbury.  Purchased new in 2007.  Want to...

This depends on who your child is.  We put our son in GFM after a year and a half at Good Shepherd, thinking it would be better academically. As it turns out, cultural "fit" and rapport with the teachers and administrators probably trump any particular educational methodology. If your child is...
