Wedding Photography On A Budget


How Much Does The Photographer Want?

When you are planning your wedding, you should try to stay within a budget of percentages. For example, your largest expense is that of the hall and catering for your wedding reception, most times. Another big chunk of your investment in your wedding is your photographer. His job is crucial. He needs to capture your wedding day in perfect style.

He needs to grab every last tear, every last little smile that you and your guests have. It is no small task. When planning your wedding, your photographer should be, therefore, one of the people that you pay close attention to so that you can fully learn what they can offer to you and how much it will cost you.

The Complete Curl - Guide to Perming Hair


Sure, everyone knows about perms – they are those nasty little curly dos that almost everyone who was anyone had in the 1980s and 1990s, right? Well, that's not necessarily the case anymore. With the advent of new perm techniques and rolling methods, perms can fit very well into the 21st century.

But let's back up for a moment: the term 'perm' is actually short for 'permanent', which is exactly what this hair texturizing process is; in fact, permanents can be so permanent that your hair may never go back to its original state. But more on that later; for now, let discuss the perm process. When you get a perm, you are literally having your hair's structure altered with the use of chemicals.

Plantains - How To Cook Plantain Bananas


Delicate enough to use in a low-key but appetizing salad or bold enough to accompany a hearty entree, the plantain is one of the most diverse fruits in Latin American cuisine, or any cuisine for that matter. Thanks to the dramatic changes they undergo during their ripening process, they can be incorporated into almost any recipe for any occasion. Green, unripe plantains are most often peeled and deep-fried for snacks or garnishes, or even as a binder in breadings. Yellow plantains are just beginning to ripen and can be used in main courses or dishes where their firm and starchy texture and subtle flavors at this stage of development can be fully appreciated. Plantains whose skin has turned black are at the peak of their ripening and the starches inside will have mostly turned to sugars by this point, making them ideal for use in desserts or any dish that could benefit from a touch of sweetness.

Expired Domains


Millions of domains are registered at any one time, and thousands of those domains expire every single day, potentially leaving a lot of ready-made traffic for the next owner of that domain.

A lot of these domains expire because:

  • the domain owner didn't need it any more
  • they didn't inform the registrar of a new email address
  • they forgot to renew their registration
  • in the worst case, the owner themselves may have expired

So, what does this mean for you?

The Tapeworm Diet


The Tapeworm Diet – Myth Or Reality?

There is no doubt that many people would do almost anything to lose those extra pounds, perhaps even going as far as to knowingly infecting themselves with worms. Just google and you'll see many pleas on forums and posting boards asking where people can buy tapeworms!

Believe it or not there has been and continues to be a small group of individuals, including some scientists and researchers, that promote and actually support the use of a variety of worms for treatment of many different health conditions commonly found in the human body. Helminth therapy, or the controlled use of worms in treatment, has been around for hundreds of years but has recently surfaced again as a possible option for those wishing to lose weight quickly and without having to change their lifestyle or diet.

First Aid For Kids


No one likes to think about their children being injured, but with kids being kids some bruises, scrapes, and occasionally worse are bound to happen. When these inevitabilities do come to pass, it’s important that you know how to treat them and how to recognize when they need more treatment than you’re going to be able to give. While many homes have basic first aid kits in them that are stocked with things such as bandages and alcohol wipes, a number of people don’t really know how to use them effectively and may not even know the true purpose of all of the items contained within.

At the same time, you might have taken the time to learn the basics of first aid in case your child is injured in some way but have made no plans as to what should happen if you yourself are hurt. Children also need at least a little bit of instruction in first aid, as well as what they should do in case of an emergency if you aren’t able to take care of it yourself. This may seem like a lot to try to teach your child, but the basic information that they need to know is actually relatively easy to learn and can help to prepare your child to learn more as they continue through life.First Aid For Kids - Read Full Story

Doggy Dancing (Canine Freestyle)


Doggy dancing, more correctly known as canine freestyle, is a rapidly expanding competitive and fun event that combines obedience work, agility training and teamwork between an owner and their dog. To top it all off it is set to music and includes props, really amazing choreography and even a bit of glitz and glamour. The sport or art, depending on your perspective, has really gained popularity since its start in the late 1990's thanks to video sites and demonstrations on televisions shows including a recent performance on Britain's Got Talent by a young lady called Kate and her dog Gin - who got through to the final with their heart-warming routine.

Organic Snacks: Going Organic When You Snack


When most people think of organic cooking, they think of preparing elaborate meals with a variety of vegetables and other organically-grown foods present. Organic cooking isn’t just for large meals, however; it’s perfectly possible to eat organically when you just want a quick snack. In fact, since many people think that the taste of organic foods is superior to those grown using other methods it makes a lot of sense to eat organic whenever you get the chance… especially when you just want a quick bite to eat that will tide you over ‘til your next meal.

Once there was a time when it would be almost impossible to find an organic option in regards to snack foods… it was hard enough to find organic options in produce or anything else, unless you grew it yourself in an organic garden. As more and more people have begun to realize the benefits of eating organically-grown foods, however, retailers have responded with an ever-increasing number of organic alternatives to the standard food items that you would normally buy.

MORE THAN A WEBSITE: CREATING A WEB-BASED LLC


Operating a website as your business can be a risky endeavor… not only do you have to overcome all of the competition out there and get your website to become popular with your target audience, but you also have a number of expenses and other liabilities that you have to take upon yourself should there be any problems.

This doesn’t have to be the case, however; by creating your website as a web-based limited liability company (better known as an LLC), you can allow your business to absorb most if not all of the liability in the event of lawsuits, credit problems, or other major problems that might arise. Best of all, in most cases you can do the work to create an LLC yourself and only have to pay the appropriate filing fees when sending in the paperwork (saving yourself sometimes hundreds of dollars compared to what some LLC creation services charge.).

What Your Car Says About You!


You’ve probably been fed the line, “don’t judge a book by its cover” until it gives you a gag reflex. What if you had the opportunity to make observations and reach conclusions simply based on the things a person owns? Actually, you can tell a lot about a person by the make, model, and color of car he or she drives. What does your car say about you and the type of person you are? You may be surprised.

Everywhere you look, you can find little jokes about what your car can mean about you and your personality. Camaro owners are bullies, and Volkswagen Beetle owners are hippies, etc. You can go on and on with the stereotype jokes about car ownership, but there are some serious inferences that can be made just by taking into account your choice of automobile. Let’s take a look at what the color of your car says about your personality first. What Your Car Says About You! Read Full Story

Nylon Panties


Slipping into (or out of) something comfortable did not used to be a simple matter. The layers of clothing inhibited facile stripping.

Garden Design 101


Just as pets calm our minds, relieve our fears, and lower our blood pressure, gardens have been scientifically proven to be as equally effective. Stepping from your back doorstep into a wonderland of fresh, clean, pleasantly aromatic, well landscaped gardening can have the same calming, soothing effect as a chocolate lab bouncing down the drive to greet you as you arrive from the office after a long hard demanding day.

A cocker spaniel ‘silly all over herself’ to get to her favorite person in the world makes you feel like there is one being that totally, completely lives and breathes just to be near you. A garden has the same sort of effect when you have created it from just a heap of dirt in the backyard…a poorly fertilized heap of soil at that! Garden Design 101 - Read Full Story

Wolf Hybrid Dogs (Wolfdog, Wolf-Dog Hybrid)


The Wolf Hybrid, more commonly called the Wolfdog by breeders and owners, is a cross between the wild wolf and any type of domestic dog. Typically most breeders and rescues consider a Wolfdog or Wolf-Dog Hybrid any crossbreed that has a wolf as one of the parents as far back as five generations. When the dog breed tends to be more wolf-like in appearance such as the Malamute or Siberian Husky or even the German Shepherd Dog the resulting offspring tend to more closely resemble their wolf parent. If the dog breed in the cross is not one of these breeds the Wolfdog or Wolf Hybrid will still have some the characteristics of the wolf including the dense coat, longer narrow head and long legs, but may also have more of the traits of the domestic dog breed.

The Seance - History and Origins


A dark room, a mysterious woman; floating objects; knocking sounds; an unworldly voice. This is a seance, where a mysterious medium attempts to contact, or at least pretend to contact, the dead so that they may communicate with the living they have left behind.

Seance, the word that has become associated with communicating with the dead, has its roots in a far less provocative meaning. In French, the word seance originally meant a seated meeting of any type. Eventually, however, both in French and English the word became associated specifically as a means to communicate with the dead in another, unearthly world. It is, in effect, the close-up examination of, and communication with, the spiritual world. The Seance - History and Origins - Read Full Story

Adult Care


Providing adult care means providing for every aspect of an adult's life. It means attending to the details that are unique to the senior stage of life and other situations that necessitate adult care. The reasons for this type of care may be basic stage of life, as in elder care, or may include special needs such as dementia care or Alzheimer's care.

Understanding all that goes into care for elderly persons is almost as rigorous a task as providing that older adult care but is a necessary first step. The many types of facilities that provide adult care assistance follow.

When you care for older adults, there are many options for living situations. The choice between them may depend upon their desires and their ability to perform daily tasks. Some seniors need little assistance while others need intensive care and constant monitoring.

Top Ten Italian Auto Museums


If you want to take a tour of the greatest automotive museums in the world, it's kind of a no-brainer that you're ideally going to start in Italy; home of Alfa Romeo, birthplace of the Ferrari, and stomping grounds of the Lamborghini. Simply put, no country has been responsible for more top-tier, beautifully built, adrenaline boosting, jealousy inspiring cars than Italy.

If Italy sounds a little out of the way, well, think of it this way; if you shop around for a good deal on airfare and a hotel room, you can take a weekend trip for less than a thousand bucks, and that's something like 1/100 the cost of actually buying a Ferrari Testarossa. If you’re a serious car collector, then you practically owe it to yourself to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land of automotive excellence.

I recently made a whistle-stop trip to Italy with my Dad to watch the Mille Miiglia and visit the Ferrari Museum. Well worth the money and I have many more planned, possibly doing a road trip to get there at some stage across Europe in my own beloved Alfa Romeo.Top Ten Italian Auto Museums - Read Full Story

Organic Gardening: Low-Cost Ideas


Whether you’re shopping at the supermarket or just visiting a roadside stand, it seems that the price of organically-grown foods is always higher than those which are grown using chemical fertilizers. Because of this, many people seem to think that it costs more to use organic fertilizers in the home garden and decide against growing their vegetables and other garden crops the organic way.

The truth is, though, that it can actually be significantly cheaper to use organic materials as fertilizer in your garden… and will often give you better results as well. Even if you aren’t as concerned about the ecological impact of growing organically, a lower cost and better quality of the things you grow should give you plenty of incentive to at least try out organic gardening.

Payday Loans


Have you ever heard the saying that there is too much month left at the end of the money?

Anyone who has ever found it difficult to make their wages or earnings last right through until the next pay day will know exactly what I mean! You start the month with a set amount of money, and by the time your bills and essentials are paid for you only have a small amount left. And it’s not always easy to make that last when you need to buy so many other things with it.

It’s no wonder we all wish for a payday loan from time to time. We look to the heavens and pray for a small windfall to see us through until the next payday, or perhaps a lottery win we didn’t expect!

It hardly ever happens though does it? Which means it is worth finding out more about payday loans and what they are. Payday Loans - read full story

Popular Trivial Pursuit Editions


You know why Trivial Pursuit has remained such a popular party game over the decades? One of the main reasons should be kind of obvious: Nostalgia value.

They put out current editions, too, but by the time you’ve had the game for a year or two, a lot of the pop culture stuff on the cards is no longer current, but rather, a fond reminder of what you were watching on TV a couple years ago. That’s why the makers of Trivial Pursuit have been sure to emphasize this aspect of the game with products like Trivial Pursuit 80’s Edition and Star Wars Trivial Pursuit. It’s just plain a good excuse to spark conversation about the pop culture we once revelled in. Popular Trivial Pursuit Editions - read full story

You know, it’s really kind of a shock to see just how much staying power Pokemon has really had. When the guys at Nintendo came up with the idea, they probably new they had a hot property on their hands, but had no idea how popular it would really be.

For reference, the whole Pokemon thing started back in 1995, so at the time of this writing, Pokemon, or “Pocket Monsters” (if you’re wondering how in the heck you get Pokemon from Pocket Monsters, it actually comes from the Japanese spelling of POKetto MONstua) has remained around the top of the heap of kid’s entertainment for about fourteen years.

Understanding Dog To Dog Eye Contact


Dogs, as natural pack animals, have developed universally understood ways to communicate with each other. A dog uses vocalizations in the form of growls, barks and snarls, as well as physical posturing and movement to communicate issues such as dominance or submission within the pack. Even more subtly they also use eye contact, which is considered to one of the most basic forms of communication. Understanding Dog To Dog Eye Contact - read full story
