Part of scrapbooking is sharing time with your friends. But how
much are you really getting done? Do you feel good about the
cost of the workshop - did you get your money’s worth?

We love our scrapbook mates but consider for a moment - how much
more you could get done if you go there with a mission?

Mission - Not Impossible

I challenge you to go to scrapbooking workshops by yourself.
Just go and do your best to sit with someone who seems quiet.
When you don’t know anyone, imagine what you could get done.

Now you just may be the type of person who can chit chat and
crop till you drop. You may also be the one in the group that
gets the most done. But do you set your goals before you start?

We all know a Chatty Patty, heck maybe you’re one yourself. Just
keep trying new things, this way you will figure out quickly
what needs to take place for you to get the most done.

Sitting with someone who chats the whole way through the crop
may be hindering your ability to get your work done. So
definitely consider going on your own. You may just surprise
yourself.

If you’re getting ready to rent, don’t do what this editor did once … a long, long time ago.

Don’t walk into the unit — particularly if it’s not the same unit you’re getting (”It’s pretty similar,” you’ll be assured, but don’t listen) — nod, and let that affordable rent lure you into blurting out, “I’ll take it!” (That exclamation is often fueled by that familiar lust for freedom that new twentysomething college graduates experience. The fear of another year under Mom’s and Dad’s roof is a powerful motivator, and suddenly, a box under the nearest bridge seems to offer an attractive ambiance when you tilt your head to just the right angle.)

I’ve learned a few things since then. For instance, if the leasing agent mentions that they’re considering replacing the carpet in your home-to-be, that means they don’t have any plans to do so — certainly not before you move in, and after you’re there, well, it’s simply too much trouble to make the effort then. It’s too late at that point; they’d have to move your furniture.

This isn’t to say that property management companies universally are deceiving their tenants. Not true. Today’s multifamily housing market is more competitive than ever, and complexes left and right are extending themselves in an attempt to provide the best services within their means. But that’s due partly to the latest generation of consumers. We’re educated, we’re inquisitive, and many of us are online. In short, we’re dangerous. If Complex A can’t give us what we want, we’ll cross the street to Complex B, or wait for the dust to settle on Complex C, which is still under construction. (Of course, leases already are being signed on Complex C, even though the units aren’t finished.) That’s the reality of today’s apartment market.

Before you sign anything, walk in armed with a list of questions. Fire away, and don’t be afraid to press for answers — particularly if you’re not getting straight answers. And if your prospective complex passes with flying colors, and you decide to become a resident there, hang onto your list. It will serve as a handy resource if your landlord or management company fails to live up to the claims initially made — whether those be related to maintenance issues or various services.

You may want to consider doing a little investigative journalism, as well. Beyond straight Q&A with a leasing agent or landlord, take a look around the property in question, taking notes of what you observe. And talk to tenants; they’re perhaps the best resource of all, and nine times out of 10, they’re only too happy to talk. In addition, you may want to review your state’s sanitary code, which should then serve as a basis for comparison when you’re checking out the conditions in an apartment.

Here’s a list of questions, divided by category, that serves as a good starting point when you begin your apartment search:

Rent and fees:

1. What is the monthly rent?
2. Is a security deposit required? If so, how much is it, and under what conditions is it held?
3. Does the landlord require payment of last month’s rent in advance?
4. Do you pay extra (and if so, how much?) for utilities, storage space, air conditioning, parking space, late payment of rent, etc.?
5. Does the lease indicate that the rent can be increased if real estate taxes are raised, the prices for sewer and water assessments are increased, or for any other reason?

Facilities and services:

1. Assess the maintenance services: Is there a resident superintendent? Are maintenance hours restricted? How is emergency service handled?
2. How is trash disposal handled? Are facilities accessible? Is recycling available?
3. Laundry facilities? How many available? Security?
4. Building lobby: Is it clean and well-lit? Security?
5. Entrance and exit: elevator? Are stairs well-lit? Fire exits?
6. Hallways: Clean and well-lit?

Rental unit conditions:

1. Are there signs of insects present?
2. Bathrooms: clean? Plumbing in good working order? Tiles sound?
3. Kitchen: Is sink in good working order: Stove? Refrigerator?
4. Air conditioning: good working order?
5. Wiring: Are there enough electrical outlets? Is the wiring sound?
6. Does the heating system seem to be in good working order?
7. Is there a fireplace? Check to see that it is clean and operates well.
8. Windows? Are any broken? Do they all open? Storm windows? Screens? Locks?
9. Floors: Are they clean?
10. Ceilings: Are they clean? Cracked? Water-stained?
11. Walls: Are they clean? Is the plaster cracked? Paint peeling?
12. Telephone: outlets present? Convenient?
13. Is ventilation adequate? Is there an exhaust fan in kitchen?
14. Lighting: Is it adequate? Are fixtures in good working order?
15. Security: Does the door have a dead-bolt lock? A security chain?
16. Storage space: Is it adequate? Kitchen and bathroom cabinets?
17. What is the noise level in the area around the rental unit? Traffic? Neighbors?

Throughout all of my apartment searches, the best lesson I learned came from a leasing agent who told me upon my first visit to his complex that “If you told me you were ready to sign a contract today, I’d advise you not to. Look around. Come back at night, and see who your neighbors are going to be. A complex at night is very different from a complex during the day.” I’ve come to realize that’s sound advice. Don’t sign right away. Don’t be scared into thinking that apartment won’t be available tomorrow. Mull it over, do your homework, and get the answers you need before signing on the dotted line.

Between the Harvest Festivals, Halloween parties and social
gatherings, this Halloween season could be very busy for you and
your family. This is why all parents should make safety the
number one priority while having fun. It also never hurts to be
reminded of the precautions all Halloweeners should take while
gathering candy.

Before leaving the house, every person going out to
Trick-or-Treat should be dressed appropriately. Begin by making
sure attire is weather appropriate. The cooler the temperature,
the more layers needed to keep warm. These layers should be
easily removed as not to interfere with the costume if it gets
too warm. Any masks being worn should fit so that vision is not
obscured in any way. Children can’t be expected to be completely
safe if surroundings can’t be seen easily. Batman and Darth
Vader costumes are popular this year, and their dark cloaks can
make seeing trick-or-treaters almost impossible after the sun
has set. Take the ultimate safety precaution by purchasing
reflective tape and place it on the back of the costume, which
can be done without changing the appearance or effect of the
costume. It also helps to add reflective tape to the side of
shoes to add extra reflective surfaces. If a car approaches your
child from any direction, enough reflective tape will give your
child shape and the driver will be able to see the children.
Glow sticks and other accessories are also great ways to make
sure you and your child can be seen in the dark.

When moving from house to house, children should refrain from
walking in-between parked cars and ideally, should only cross
the street at crosswalks. Some neighborhoods are easier to
navigate than others, but it is always better to visit houses on
one side of the street at a time. Keeping on sidewalks and
driveways and refraining from grass and other soft areas will
help prevents slips, trips, and falls. Holes and dips in the
ground are hard to see in covered areas. Blacktop and concrete
surfaces should be used for navigation as much as possible.

Only visit houses that are inviting. Houses without a light at
the door or front porch, or without any light from
jack-o-lanterns or other means or decoration should not be
included in the list of houses to visit. Not only is it not
safe, but obviously the tenants do not want visitors.

Although neighborhoods with larger houses in prominent areas are
more appealing, it can be tiresome for smaller children. These
houses take longer to go from door to door, ultimately causing
small children to tire more quickly. If you drive to a
neighborhood to visit, try to pick one with houses that are
closer together to make the trip more productive with less
walking.

Some of the best places to trick-or-treat isn’t necessarily in a
neighborhood going from door to door. Churches, malls and
shopping center strip-malls often offer treats to those who stop
by. Churches often offer forms of entertainment like
“Trunk-or-Treating,” where the parking lot of the Church is
filled with vehicles where drivers give out candy from their
decked-out truck beds and lawn chairs next to their cars. These
are wonderful places to take children because the people giving
candy may already be a friend, therefore giving parents a more
trusted source of treats. Parents are also able to socialize and
have some fun themselves, too!

We all know of the importance of screening the candy our
children receive during Trick-or-Treating. Some communities
offer free screenings with X-ray devices, which is an ideal way
to make sure the stereotypical metal object hasn’t been inserted
into your child’s candy. In addition to screenings, parents
should check each piece of candy thoroughly before consumption.
All candy should be wrapped or packaged well without any tears
or punctures. Make sure the wrapper on the candy is still secure
and bags are free of puncture marks or tears. If candy looks
like it has been tampered with in any way, be sure to discard
immediately.

Whether you decide to stay home and give out candy, or take a
stroll or drive to your favorite haunts, be sure safety is
first, no matter what! Enjoy your Halloween!

A wedding is a ceremony that celebrates the beginning of a marriage or civil union between two people; although the traditional marriage ceremony have seen a decline, there are now many other methods to confirm your union. The ceremony is an opportunity to perform a traditional service and celebrate with friends and family. it is not recognized as complete until the marriage license is signed. The names bridegroom and bride extend around the world; the terms husband and wife are then the traditional terms to use after the ceremony.

Religious Wedding Ceremonies

Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and social classes. Many people, whether religious or not, still prefer to have a traditional ceremony performed by a recognized religious minister in a Church of their choice. Of course we all know and love the white wedding but this is not the generally accepted form of ceremony in every Christian country.

Multiple Ceremonies

A rare type of marriage is where two separate couples decide to marry at the same time; ceremonies such as this are usually instigated by siblings who like the idea of a simultaneous marriage.

Weddings in a Foreign Country

Marriages in foreign countries are called destination weddings where guests can arrive either just before the ceremony or actually travel with the couple; the definition of a destination wedding is flexible as you don’t actually have to leave your country for it to qualify, just so it isn’t in your home town.

Getting Married on a Weekend Break

Weekend weddings are becoming popular and in Ireland they take place over the course of three days. Those with a themed element can also be very successful and the activity can be either built into the day or over the course of a weekend. For many people that have outdoor interests this can be a lot of fun and the guests can stay for the weekend with them to extend the occasion.

Online Weddings

Although it has not really caught on yet, a few bold and different people have decided to tie the knot online but it may be sometime before this style of wedding really becomes more popular; There are already a number of companies based online can help you find out more information about his unusual type of ceremony. An internet or online wedding can also refer to a situation where a couple may broadcast their marriage to friends and family in other parts of the world.

Civil Weddings Local civil authority services are called civil weddings as they do not take place in a church and must be performed by a locally elected or appointed official. Religion doesn’t normally play a part in these ceremonies because they are purely a legal requirement. .

The especial province of the mother is the prevention of
disease, not its cure. When disease attacks the child, the
mother has then a part to perform, which it is especially
important during the epochs of infancy and childhood should be
done well. I refer to those duties which constitute the maternal
part of the management of disease.

Medical treatment, for its successful issue, is greatly
dependent upon a careful, pains-taking, and judicious maternal
superintendence. No medical treatment can avail at any time, if
directions be only partially carried out, or be negligently
attended to; and will most assuredly fail altogether, if
counteracted by the erroneous prejudices of ignorant attendants.
But to the affections of infancy and childhood, this remark
applies with great force; since, at this period, disease is
generally so sudden in its assaults, and rapid in its progress,
that unless the measures prescribed are rigidly and promptly
administered, their exhibition is soon rendered altogether
fruitless.

The amount of suffering, too, may be greatly lessened by the
thoughtful and discerning attentions of the mother. The wants
and necessities of the young child must be anticipated; the
fretfulness produced by disease, soothed by kind and
affectionate persuasion; and the possibility of the sick and
sensitive child being exposed to harsh and ungentle conduct,
carefully provided against.

Again, not only is a firm and strict compliance with medical
directions in the administration of remedies, of regimen, and
general measures, necessary, but an unbiased, faithful, and full
report of symptoms to the physician, when he visits his little
patient, is of the first importance. An ignorant servant or
nurse, unless great caution be exercised by the medical
attendant, may, by an unintentional but erroneous report of
symptoms, produce a very wrong impression upon his mind, as to
the actual state of the disease. His judgment may, as a
consequence, be biased in a wrong direction, and the result
prove seriously injurious to the welldoing of the patient. The
medical man cannot sit hour after hour watching symptoms; hence
the great importance of their being faithfully reported. This
can alone be done by the mother, or some person equally
competent.

There are other weighty considerations which might be adduced
here, proving how much depends upon efficient maternal
management in the time of sickness; but they will be severally
dwelt upon, when the diseases with which they are more
particularly connected are spoken of.

The wedding market in the United States is at an all time high; with an average day costing around 25,000 dollars it accounts for why the industry is worth an astonishing 25 billion dollars. There is no need for you to spend this amount on your wedding when other options exist; you can still have a wonderful day even though it might be a cheap wedding although you might not be convinced yet! By using some imaginative ideas, money can be saved; which should promise a fantastic day for less!

Cheap Hand Made Dress

That hand-made wedding dress is going to be the most costly individual item; It is easy to buy a wedding dress that has only been worn once for less than half the price; many stores have begun to supply dresses this way, often hiring them just for the day.

Planning the Reception

The wedding reception is normally the biggest expense and where costs can get out of hand; statistics show that an average of 189 guests attend so when you are planning your cheap wedding, this is where most savings take place. There is a tendency to invite everyone you have ever known or is a member of the family but this is completely unrealistic and unnecessary; if you have a buffet instead of a four course meal, waiting staff will not be required either.

Although it is nice to hold the wedding reception in a beautiful hotel, this can be another huge expense but alternatives exist; there are many clubs that would be perfectly suitable or even the home of a good friend or relative that is large enough.

Wedding Photography

The obvious choice is to shop around for the best rates, but look at hiring the photographer just for the service; ask family members and friends to take photos of the reception - most will be more than happy to do this. Some people save money by dispensing with the professional photographer entirely; using a friend or relation may sound strange at first but you can guarantee one of them is a keen amateur photographer.

Print At Home Wedding Stationery

When looking at other areas where money can be saved, do not overlook wedding stationery; invitations for example, do not have to be taken to a printer when they can be produced by anyone reasonably competent with a home computer. With the correct programs, all the work can be checked fully before it is printed out; this means that often costly errors and adjustments that are often required in the early stages of the work are not made.

Free debt consolidation - yea right! The fact is, nothing in
life is free, which is exactly why you should be dubious of any
advertisements that claim to offer “free” debt consolidation. In
most instances, you can get a free quote or else a first-time
counseling session. And in most instances, the first-time
counseling session is to lure you into the company’s agreement.

Debt consolidation is a procedure that can take years to hash
out. In most case, people with bad credit or current debt
problems often believe there is no way out. They may go online
and find a source that will help reduce their debts, believing
that the amount of their debts is lower. Since few companies
will lead many to believe this is true, it is important that you
know that the debt consolidation companies are only reducing
your rates of interest.

If you own a home and want to use the equity to refinance, you
may want to understand that a good number of the Home Equity
Loans will actually land you deeper in debt. Once you are bound
to the contract, you will find the complications are more
frustrating than when you first applied for the loan.

I brought this up because many homeowners will refinance their
homes without looking into the details first, believing they are
consolidating their bills. They may feel they are getting
something free, since the amount on the mortgage appears
reduced. However, if you take out a loan to consolidate your
mortgage, you are only stepping into another debt.

Be advised that some mortgage contracts stipulate that if you
refinance your home during the contract agreement, you may face
penalties, which may include paying off your first home, your
second home, and the interest rates included. Therefore, if you
are considering debt consolidation, consider the entire picture
first-and don’t ever fall for the bogus claim that any debt
consolidation will actually be free.
