How To Manage Your Wedding Budget
Июль 18th, 2007 by arabelegooley
By Lesley-Ann Graham You are almost there. Your special day is coming up and of course you need to do a little accounting. Otherwise you end up asking, where did all the money go? Generally, no matter what country you live in, the biggest expense is the reception. It normally accounts for about 48% of your total expenses. Let’s face it you are feeding a lot of people. The event is being catered by a chef and you are also paying for the cost of the people serving behind the bar and waiting on the tables. Not to mention that you’re having a multi-course meal. This can really raise the costs. The next in rank is the cost of your photos and video. A really good, professional photographer is expensive. They are well paid because of their skill. After all they are trying to capture a once in a lifetime event in a way that looks alive long after your nuptials are over. Then comes the cost of your gown. It is usually a dress that you will only wear once but it is made from costly materials and is usually, at some point handcrafted. It usually comes up to about 10% of the total expense for your wedding. The flowers and decor takes about 8% of the bill as does the music and entertainment. The skills of the artisans behind these wedding necessities are invaluable. The remainder of your bill is split between the cost of your wedding rings, transportation, the invitations and the actual ceremony in varying amounts. Let’s not forget the taxes you may have had to pay as well as your bride and groom gifts. This accounts for about 19% of the bill. The funny thing is, no matter what the size of your budget, you will normally find that these figures are close.

Food - Breads
Июль 16th, 2007 by arabelegooley
By Michael Russell If you sit down and really think about it, there are more kinds of breads than you can possibly imagine. While we’re certainly not going to try to cover every single variety and brand, we will touch on a few of the more common ones. While nutritionists will claim that it’s probably the most worthless thing you can put in your mouth because of the refined white flour, white bread is probably the best selling bread in the United States anyway. The brands of white bread are numerous to say the least. You’ve got your Arnold, Wonder, Pepridge Farm and a slew of others, not to mention all the bargain basement store brands. But white bread isn’t just white bread anymore. You’ve got your thin sliced, you diet white, your enriched white and so on. No two white breads even taste anything alike. When you think about it, that’s not a bad little trick, even if they all do have the nutritional value of a tree stump. So thank goodness we have whole wheat bread to the rescue. While most commercial whole wheat breads probably still have too much sugar in them, they’re still a step up from white, especially in the fiber department. White breads have almost no fiber at all while whole wheat breads have anywhere from 2 to 3 grams of fiber per slice. So if nothing else, whole wheat breads, not to be confused with whole grain or multi grain breads, are great for keeping you regular. Most of the white bread companies also make whole wheat, but your better whole wheat breads are the off brands. Then of course you have your rye breads. Rye bread is something that you just have to have with corned beef. There’s nothing like a corned beef sandwich with a little mustard on a good Jewish rye bread. Most of the better rye breads come with caraway seeds, which are pretty much an acquired taste, but there are those that come without seeds. Probably the most popular rye bread is Beefsteak Rye. Think we’ve covered it all? We haven’t even scratched the surface of the bread army. There’s rye’s fancy cousin, the pumpernickel bread. This bread is probably one of the heartiest and tastiest breads you will ever want to eat. These breads are very high on fiber and can be a meal in themselves. Then of course you’ve got bread’s cousins. These are your rolls, bagels, croissants and the like. Each one of these has their special purpose. For example, rolls, which come in a zillion varieties alone, are great for sandwiches where you want to really pile up on the lettuce and other condiments. Bagels are great for cream cheese and other spreadables and croissants are good all by themselves or with a little butter or jam. And still, we’ve just scratched the surface. Yes, there are more kinds of breads for more kinds of occasions than you can possibly imagine. Of course that doesn’t mean that you can’t slap a couple of meatballs between two slices of rye bread. Who knows? It might actually be good.

Ten Tips for Creating a Winning Proposal - Part 2
Июль 14th, 2007 by arabelegooley
By Cavyl Stewart Part 1 of this series described five critical components for creating a winning proposal. In some instances, these components are all a prospective client needs to make a determination and award the job. Be sure to carefully review the request for proposal to determine the amount of information you need to include in your proposal. Remember, each proposal is unique. Here are five more tips to keep in mind when preparing a winning proposal. Tip #6 Properly Estimate Job Costs Selecting the right price for the proposed work is a delicate balancing act. Pricing the job too low could cause you to lose money on the job. Also, a bid thats too low might be perceived by the client as unrealistic and cause you to lose the bid. Take time to properly consider the amount of time and materials involved in completing the tasks you have outlined and price the job accordingly. Tip #7 Add Meat as Necessary Proposal requirements vary greatly. If youre putting together a proposal for a major corporation or a government job, youll probably need extensive documentation. Examples of additional information that might be required include sub-contractor agreements, non-disclosure forms, contingency plans, change order procedures, risk analysis data, benchmark results and more. If the request for proposal asks for it, be sure you include it. Tip #8 Dont Reveal Too Much! When submitting your proposed solution to the prospective clients problem, you must not reveal too much information. You need to satisfactorily explain your approach while at the same time keeping some information to yourself. Sound confusing? How about this: If you tell the client exactly how to solve the problem, the client might decide to implement your solution without your assistance! Youll lose out on the bid, not because your approach was inadequate, but because you explained it so well the client did not need an outside company to implement it. Tip #9 Proper Presentation Once youve gathered all the important components for your proposal, take time to ensure it is properly presented. Put together a Table of Contents and check that all copies of all documents are proofread, smudge-free and in the correct order. Finally, insert the proposal into a suitable binder. Give the finished document a final review; its your last chance to correct any mistakes. Submit the proposal according to the instructions provided and make sure it is delivered before the submission deadline. If possible, deliver the proposal in person. You never know who youll encounter on the receiving end! Tip #10 Investigate the Winning Bid If your company is not awarded the bid, try to learn more about the company that did submit the winning proposal. Put on your investigator hat. Find out the price submitted with the winning bid and the approach that was proposed. Research the company itself. Use whatever you discover as a learning tool for the next time. The information just might help your company put together the next winning proposal. And there you have it ten tips for submitting a winning proposal. Good Luck! Copyright 2004 Cavyl Stewart.

Lose Weight Like A Model
Июль 12th, 2007 by arabelegooley
By James Wilkinson Begin a cleanse - this is the way that most models lose weight, especially when they need to do it fast. Models are the one group of people who diet successfully. Its their job, their livelihood. So when you need advice, models are the people that you should naturally look to. And after the cleanse you should have increased energy, a better complexion and a sense of renewal and clarity. Take a holiday to a spa resort. There are some great places in Thailand or Mexico that models regularly visit to improve their health and lose weight. Make sure to drink your juices - don’t confuse cleansing with ’starvation diets’! Cleansing is a short term fix for cleaning your body and losing some excess weight. This diet allow the liver and kidneys to recover from all the toxic food additives and preservatives, pollution and smoke that enter our system every day without us even realizing. Take colon-cleansing herbs and Psyllium husks - these will help clean your system while helping you to feel a little more full. The diet involves the intake of little or no food, and instead just freshly-squeezed juices (carrot, apple, celery are good!). You can add something to make the drink more exciting - ginger is my favorite. Continue the cleansing diet for 3 days to a week, after which you should go back to your normal diet or consumption. You should feel fresher, more energetic. Not to mention that a cleaner liver metabolizes food faster, and sets up your body to lose weight in the long term! Most importantly, remember to enjoy it! A good diet should make you feel better, both physically and mentally.

How To Prevent Cellulite - Several Great Tips
Июль 9th, 2007 by arabelegooley
By Max Suther What is one word that can cause widespread fear and loathing in women all across the world? Although images of spiders, snakes or even bad dates might come to mind, an even more common fear exists cellulite! The unsightly wrinkling of skin around your hips, thighs and buttocks is experienced by most post-pubescent women. Although you cant completely eliminate cellulite, you can empower yourself to reduce the condition. If you want to know how to prevent cellulite, you need to inform yourself of the various methods available. The cosmetics industry has been more than happy to take advantage of this widespread condition by offering an endless variety of products aimed at fighting cellulite. Anti-cellulite creams, lotions or gels are now available in most department stores and the majority of cosmetic companies now offer products specifically targeted to reduce cellulite. For example, Hydroderm has created a product called Body Shape which increases moisture to the skin. The active ingredients of the lotion are delivered into the fat cells in an effort to dehydrate and reduce the size of the individual fat cells. The prices and results vary greatly so you will need to invest a little time to determine if any of the products actually do produce visible results. An option that requires a little more effort, but greatly improves your chances of positive results is weight and interval training. Interval training consists of alternating between a recovery or slower pace and a faster high-exertion pace of exercises. Fitness instructors recommend performing vigorous interval training at least twice per week. Weight lifting sessions should also be incorporated into your weekly routine especially exercises targeted for the lower body such as squats, leg presses and lunges. Regular cardiovascular exercise will help you to burn extra calories and transform body fat into energy, thus minimizing the appearance of cellulite. Another alternative is to adopt a healthier diet. Try to reduce the number of refined carbohydrates and saturated fats you eat. Trade unhealthy choices such as white flour, vegetable oil and junk food for healthier options such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. With a little patience, you may begin to see a visible reduction in cellulite in as little as 3 weeks. If you prefer a faster solution to reducing cellulite, you can opt for liposuction. This medical procedure involves removing the pockets of excess fat from specific regions of your body. You need to remain aware of the risks involved, not to mention the cost and pain. For women who are not ready to take this step, massage therapy is available. This non-invasive method increases blood flow and assists with the elimination of excess fluid. The procedure is less painful, risky and costly than liposuction, but may require multiple sessions. Although you cant completely eliminate cellulite, you can empower yourself to reduce the condition. Make changes to your exercise routine or diet, try some of the creams or lotions available, undergo liposuction or invest in massage therapy. Hopefully the end results will allow you to don your short skirts and bathing suits with a renewed pride. For the best anti cellulite cream, try visiting http://www.hydrodermskincare.com, a popular website that offers anti aging tips, advice and resources to include information on Hydroderm body shape.

Russian Girls! They Are Very Special!
Июль 7th, 2007 by arabelegooley
By Dao Jones This topic has been debated many times but the question still exists: “Why do a lot of single men all over the world choose Russian girls?” Frankly, I get asked this question a lot. What’s so special about Russian girls? If you ask yourself the same question as well, you’ll probably find helpful information in this article. Facts. According to the latest sensus, Russia is home to 10 million more women then men, said State Statistics Committee head V.Sokolin. The number of women in their 30s exceeds the number of men significally. After the divorce, the woman with a kid (or with no kids) has little chance of getting married again in Russia, according to sociologists. There are no men in Russia to get married to: mortality rate of the working age males is extremely high. Keeping these statistics in mind, check your dating opportunities in Russia as well. You will be shocked by the quality of Russian girls. A Russian girl is beautiful. The proverb ‘Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder’ confirms that tastes differ. The woman one man considers to be beautiful, another may think she is not. Effortless grace…Charming smile…Kindness…Beautiful cheekbones…Fair hair and skin…? Hard to choose…Possibly, it makes an irresistable mix. Let’s see it by the eyes of men. This is how Western men describe a genuine Russian girl: “Slant to the eyes…”,”…I can’t resist this stunning beauty”, “Russian girls are the most beautiful women I have seen”… Should anything be added? However, nobody is able to judge by beauty alone. Let’s see other Russian woman’s qualities. The highest priority is her family. The woman’s marriage age in Russia is about 25 years old. That means Russian girls get married comparatively early. At least Russian girls try but fail (see the sensus). It looks unusual if a Russian girl at the age of 30 is still unmarried. She feels uncomfortable either. These are daily facts from the Russian woman’s life: ~Being highly educated, she would prefer a stable and happy family to her career; ~Tireless commitment to her loved ones, she keeps the household herself; ~Her husband is a partner and not a competitor; More facts? Love and romance. The Russian woman’s ‘romantic sweetnes’ makes her search for a happy, fulfilling and loving relationship. A Russian girl is extremely feminine, healthy, sexy, passionate, sensual and thankful. Love-making is not a hard work for her: it’s the pleasure and the beauty of mutual satisfaction. The truth is that the Russian girl while making love is really making love … A Russian girl wants to see the excitement in you, so give it to her! You will not regret. Russian girls are educated and smart. You will be pleasantly surprised at the educational level of Russian girls looking for men abroad. A university or college degree is a common thing. It’s not a bluff. Don’t forget they are very spiritual. The tradition of reading books, attending concerts, museums is still alive in Russia. Beautiful Russian girls are extremely teachable: you will not believe how quickly they are able to begin speaking a new language and adapt themselves to the new circumstances. Russian girls are brave. Do you think it’s easy to leave the country of birth, relatives, friends, the job, and the native language? Try… It’s extremely difficult. Ideal image? This is sure a common portrait of beautiful Russian girls looking for men abroad. If you take into account the general qualities as well as concentrate on the real woman, you’ll be fine. Start focusing on the woman, communicate with her, ask and answer questions, let her know that you are sincere. Be yourself, let her know that you care about her - any woman wants to be taken care of - how can you go wrong with that? The term ‘Russian girl’ includes girls from Ukraine and Belarus as well, as they have very much in common. There are exceptions so you should be very careful in your choice. Dao Jones, the founder of http://www.asian-girls-dating.com is connecting Asian women to Western men in a very unique and succesful way.

No Fax Payday Loans - Should You Avoid Payday Loans?
Июль 5th, 2007 by arabelegooley
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Carrie_Reeder]Carrie Reeder Payday loans make it easy for you to acquire quick same-day cash during an emergency. Although some people are ashamed to apply for a cash advance, these loans are becoming popular among people of all economic classes. Payday loans are popular because they are easier to acquire than personal loans. Moreover, funds are deposited into your account within hours. How to Qualify for a Payday Cash Advance Loan? The qualifications for a payday cash advance are very easy. If you have ever applied for a bank loan, you likely endured a long process. With bank loans, applicants must provide various documents pertaining to income, employment, credit, etc. Furthermore, applicants must give the lender property, such as a vehicle title, to secure the loan. If you default on the loan, the lender claims your property until funds are repaid. Payday loans do not require large amounts of documentations. Moreover, there are no credit checks. Once you submit your online application, the lender quickly confirms your stated information. Upon approval, the funds are deposited into your checking account. Paperless Emergency Cash Loans No faxing payday loans are becoming increasingly popular. These payday loan companies are perfect for those who need cash within a few hours. Ordinarily, payday loan companies will ask you to fax information that shows proof of income and employment. This may include a recent pay stub. Faxless companies do not require unnecessary document faxing. Should You Get an Instant Cash Advance? Payday loans are safe and beneficial. However, you must avoid lenders that charge excessive fees, and you must be willing to repay the loan within the stated time frame. The lending fee for cash advances vary according to state. On average, you can expect to pay about $20 for every 100 borrowed. Before applying for a loan, read the application and locate information about fees and interest. By law, lenders must include this information on applications. To avoid extra payday loan fees, try and repay the loan within the next two weeks. If you extend the loan, or refuse to pay, the loan will gain interest. Moreover, if you do not arrange an extension with the lender, you will be responsible for late fees. If you are considering a payday loan, evaluate your finances. If repaying the loan poses a challenge, do not accept a cash advance.

Promotions That Build Profit
Июль 3rd, 2007 by arabelegooley
By Kathleen Gage Promotions are everything you do to let your customers know you exist. Good marketing techniques can help eliminate the I didn’t knows from your clients and would-be clients. Even if you believe you have more than enough business you should always continue to do some sort of marketing. What if there is a sudden downturn in your industry? What if you have to suddently reach more customers? With a good marketing system in place you will be prepared for any surprises. Additionally, you must be very vigilent in your marketing efforts when things are slow. This is NOT the time to pull back. If anything, go forward by taking advantage of all the free and low costs opportunities that will keep your name at the front of your market. Develop a Winning Marketing and Promotions Campaign Marketing a business can be a huge challenge. However, if you have systems in place, are consistent in implementing your systems, have great follow up and truly care about your customers, your business will not only survive, it will thrive. Before you begin a marketing campaign for your business, take time to develop a good plan. With promotions, it may not be a one size fits all for your business. Depending on what you are promoting at any given time will determine what type of plan you need to put in place. However, these are some things you should always consider in any campaign. Collecting names and contact information for inclusion in your database Inputting the information in a timely fashion Sending some type of a follow up within a short period of time after obtaining the information Keeping a well-groomed database Before starting a promotional marketing campaign, ask the following questions: What is the purpose of the campaign? How much time do you need to properly roll it out? What is your budget? Who is your target market? How will you promote it? What type of incentives do you need to offer coupons, giveaways, drawings? Will you do all the promotions yourself or will you need to hire someone to help? What is your system for collecting names and contact information? Will you need special insurance for the event? Are you complying with all state and federal laws? For example, in Utah we have very strict laws about anything that remotely resembles gambling such as a raffle. Will you be including other companies in your campaign? Your Marketing Program Needs to Be Ongoing As a marketing and promotions advisor to small and medium sized companies, I often see people who try something once, get little or no result and then cry, Marketing doesnt work! Fact is, one letter, one phone call, one ad, one press release - none by themselves will achieve the desired result, but having a continuous, ongoing plan for marketing and following it will. Something you must do in order to gain optimum results is to get excited about marketing you and your business. The more passionate you are about what you do the more people will want to do business with you.

Understanding Heel Pain and Treatment Options
Июнь 29th, 2007 by arabelegooley
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Marc_A_Katz,_DPM] Marc A Katz, DPM Heel pain, also referred to as plantar fasciitis or heel spurs, is one of the most common foot conditions treated in a podiatrists office. In our fast paced lives, heel pain has become an epidemic. This is due to the combination of long work days and lack of exercise. People are also gaining weight and losing their muscle strength and flexibility. These are all contributing factors to heel pain. Typical symptoms consist of pain when getting out of bed in the morning and after sitting. Many people also experience discomfort at the end of the day or the day after exercise/strenuous activity. Others describe their pain as radiating or sharp shooting pain which likely involves a nerve in the heel area. A major support structure known as the plantar fascia is partially responsible for supporting the foot arch and for absorbing shock while walking. The fascia extends from the heel to the ball of the foot. The fascia is a flat band similar in makeup to a ligament. For various reasons, the fascia weakens and causes the arch to fall, thus developing a lower arch or flat foot. As a result, there is excessive stretch or tension on the fascial band which causes inflammation or swelling and often small tears of this band. With repeated stress of the fascia on the heel bone or calcaneus, a spur or bone enlargement develops. This is the bodys way of responding to stress. When a tissue is stressed, the body forms more of that tissue, in this case bone. In addition to the swelling of the fascia, there is often a related irritation, entrapment or enlargement of various nerves around the heel. It has been shown that these nerves are a major source of the pain experienced with plantar fasciitis. So what exactly causes the pain in the heel? It is a combination of swelling of the fascia and the irritated nerves of the heel. The heel spur itself causes no pain even though on x-ray it looks pointed and appears as piercing object. As a matter of fact, many people have fasciitis without the spur. Dr. Marc Katz, a Tampa Podiatrist, notes that in his 17 years of practice he has rarely removed the actual bone spur. He also stated that over the past 10 years he has used advanced treatments to heal the pain and more recently has used a cutting edge technology known as Cryosurgery with a high success rate. Dr. Katz is the first Cryostar certified Cryosurgeon in the Tampa area for foot problems. How do we treat Heel Pain? Treatment of heel pain can be frustrating for the patient and physician. Healing can take months and sometimes as long as a year. This does not mean that there will be constant pain for that period of time, however, expectations need to realistic. It is important to seek early treatment. There are many treatments for heel pain. Your doctor should customize a treatment plan depending on individual factors including lifestyle, foot types and any other associated illnesses. Treatment should not only concentrate on the heel but also on the person as a whole. Many factors both physical and psychological may be important to consider. In addition, weight control, systemic medical conditions and injuries should be evaluated. Evaluations consist of a thorough history and physical, x-rays, diagnostic ultrasound and MRI if necessary. Referrals to other specialists may be needed if there are associated medical conditions. Treatment may include anti-inflammatory pills, ice, cortisone injections, custom orthotic arch supports, padding, strapping, night splints, removable casts, stretching, physical therapy, shockwave, homeopathic and natural medicine, change in activities, weight-loss programs, wearing different shoes, change in activities and change in life style. Dr. Katz stated that Cryosurgery is showing some excellent long-term results! This newer treatment is recommended after trying other treatments. However, at times it may serve as a first line treatment for certain patients. This procedure is done in the office and is minimally invasive and allows the patient to quickly return to normal activities. The patient is always advised that to help prevent recurrence of the condition, custom orthotic devices, continued stretching and body weight control are necessary. Treatment of heel pain can be a challenge. Find a Podiatrist that is compassionate and willing to spend the necessary time and try different treatment options. Dr Marc Katz is a Board-certified Tampa Podiatrist that provides innovative cutting edge techniques for relief of foot pain and heel pain including Cryosurgery or Cryotherapy of the foot. Dr. Katz prides himself on compassion and concern for all patients. Dr. Katz is the first Cryostar certified Cryosurgeon in the Tampa Bay Area for relief of heel pain, Morton’s neuroma, plantar fasciitis and neuropathy. Dr. Katz treats all foot, ankle and leg conditions.
