More early March photos from the garden




My attention has been so focused on the snowdrops that I have failed to notice several other plants blooming in the garden in early March. Yesterday I took a stroll around and took a few photos. Here are some of the things I found:-





Various Crocus in the lawn and edges of borders





Crocus 'Tricolor' - this actually looks more impressive closed than open. I bought 50 bulbs and the mice ate most of them before I had a chance to plant them! Will mass plant a patch near Hellebores Galanthus next year.





Delicate Crocus tommasinianus self seeding around





Crocus on the grave of my dads beloved German Shepherd whose name was NADA. It used to be outlined in yellow Crocus. I can just about make out her name now. Every year we say we will patch it up but never have the Crocus in the right colours to do it while it is in flower.





A closer look at the stripey ones





A couple of Erica from the Heather family - close ups. I think these are Erica carnea 'Springwood Pink' 'Springwood White'





Daphne bholua 'Jacqueline Postill' in full bloom. The flowers of this gorgeous shrub are highly mouwloos avondjurken scented and very pretty. Actually 'highly scented' is an understatement - 'intoxicating' would be more descriptive.





A few Hellebores





Helleborus croaticus WM 9809 - this was collected and distributed by Will McLewin. It has the tiniest little flowers that look purple at first glance - but when you look inside the flower they are a beautiful bright green with purple veining. A delicate specie Hellebore which will look perfect with dainty snowdrops.





All the torquatus doubles from Montenegro were purchased from the wonderful Washfield Nursery many years ago. I would love to move them to a better position where they do not dry out in the summer so much - but I am terrified of losing them! They are not thriving where they are, but better alive than dead - they are very precious.





A very purple torquatus double from the outside. They are all around 1 inch across or maybe less.





Inside they are a lovely turquoisy green with faint purple edges





Another torquatus double showing more green on the outside





This is the smallest torquatus double Vloer Lengte Avondjurken and is more of a pinky purple colour





DIDO - I think there were only two named torquatus double found naturally occurring in the wild by Elizabeth Strangman. My plant is a division from the original plant





My seedlings from the above parents crossing with orientalis hybrids. A few of them have inherited the highly ornamental divided summer foliage of the torquatus. I will try to find a photo of the foliage in summer.





Seedlings in the border. They are stronger, bigger and more floriferous than their parents although still much smaller than the x hybridus doubles (orientalis)





This is a purchased 'Party Dress' double which I bought to introduce dark doubles into my crosses. It has taken years to flower and does not have great performance, so I will not be using it for crossing - pretty though although I expected it to be very dark purple. The reddish colour is bruidsmeisjes jurken nice especially with sunlight from behind.





This is one of my very first crosses - a picotee. I ended up with many seedlings all looking very similar - some were stunning and others had too much green in the flowers.





x hybridus Picotee. I like this one as it has dark nectaries which match in with the purple veining. The flowers are large and deeply shaded on the outside of the petals.





Outside of petals - heavy shading and veining





I then crossed atrorubens (a tiny species plant smiliar to croaticus with a slightly bigger flower) with my Picotee.





This is the result:





It has pink backed petals with slight veining and inside is a pinky green shimmering colour wash with huge dark nectaries. In the summer it takes on the foliage of atrorubens and looks stunning. The flower is nothing special but I like its delicate colours and the fact that it is a specie x orientalis. It performs well and is even thriving in quite dark shade in some places in the garden.

More Formal Dress <a href="http://www.yamlodress.nl/cocktailjurken/cocktailjurken-2013.html">Cocktailjurken 2013</a> Designer Reviews




To some, designers and names are very important when Korte Trouwjurk choosing a formal dress. To others, it does not mean a thing. Either way, it is important to choose a dress for that special occasion that you feel gorgeous in - that feeling is priceless! There are many options out there and many designers have distinctive styles. The prints on these dresses are very unique and the styles are very "grown up" with plunging necklines. These dresses are a good combination of classic femininity and modern style. If you want to wear elbow length gloves and a tiara, these formal dresses will go great with them!Hannah SThese dresses are a bit more casual. Only above-knee dresses are available in this line. These dresses would be appropriate for many events besides prom. combinationsFlipThese 2011 formal dresses have some very unique tops that Cocktailjurken are sure to stand out. The collection is very large and the styles range from a classic prom look to a trendy punk look. Cassandra has an entire prom line dedicated to Plus Size. You can get a traditional prom dress, or an American Flag sequined mini-dress - whatever floats your boat!EliaThese formal dresses do not do anything for me. They seem to be a little overpriced and underwhelming on style. Just about every style is covered from sexy to traditional, from formal to more casual. Many of the options have large, poofy skirts. The dresses without a poofy skirt are skin tight and metallic. These styles are funky, fresh, and fashion forward. However, they must be worn with a confident and bold attitude.


Modest wedding dresses and gowns




In a world viewed by many as having rapidly declining morals, many families and brides-to-be are finding it ever more difficult to find modest wedding dresses and wedding gowns.





Many women, along with their fathers, are met with frustration as they look for a dress that satisfies both their sense of style as well as their desire for modesty.





Designers know that a woman wants to feel beautiful and sexy on their wedding day. But many designers feel that the best way to give a woman that feeling is by removing sleeves and shoulder straps, having low-cut necklines, and removing as much of the back as possible. Modest dresses meanwhile receive very little attention from designers, and modest-dress seekers are often left with few choices, what little there is being very bland and out of fashion.





But despite increasing demand for modest clothing, few people have taken up Trouwjurk Lange Mouw the challenge of filling this market. The pickings were slim鈥?until now. Companies like Fairy Godmother's Bridal, offering large selections of modest wedding gowns, are beginning to pick up the slack in this growing market.





Based in Utah where there is a large Mormon population that demands modesty in dress, Fairy Godmother's Bridal has successfully filled a need in a community that previously might have had to custom tailor a wedding gown from scratch in order to satisfy their desire for a modest yet fashionable dress.





The response to our large line of modest wedding gowns has been amazing," said Fairy Godmother's Bridal owner Sue Jones.





And it's not just Utah Mormons that are interested. Jones says that she receives orders for modest wedding dresses from around the nation. "I often have customers thank me and tell me how difficult it has been for them to find a modest wedding gown."





Understanding that there is demand for all types of wedding gowns, in addition to sporting one of the largest selections of modest gowns Fairy Godmother's Bridal also carries many gowns for customers that want and enjoy the currently popular trends in fashionable wedding dresses.





Choosing a modest wedding gown





Modesty means different things to different people. In choosing a gown that fits your personal definition of modesty, here are a few things to watch for:





Neckline - Perhaps the most agreed upon definition for an immodest wedding gown is a low neckline. However, opinion bruidsmeisjes jurken varies on just how low the neckline can go while retaining modesty.





Sleeves - Sleeves can vary from full length to the wrist, to no sleeve at all. Short and partial length sleeves can also be found.





Back design - While a fully covered back is the tradition, many people feel that exposing the back can be done while still maintaining a modest standard. Keyhole and scoop Lange Avondjurken designs are common with gowns considered to still be modest by most standards.





Fairy Godmother's Bridal carries wedding gowns with combinations of all these factors. In addition to wedding gowns, you can also order fashionable wedding invitations (from cheap to elegant), and other wedding accessories making it a one-stop shop for the bride-to-be.





Susan Hendricks is specializing in designing a wide range of wedding gown such as modest wedding dresses,contemporary gowns, plus size gowns, sale rack and lots more.

Modest Wedding Dresses




A wedding is a dream-come-true occasion for everyone involved, especially the bride. After dreaming for Lange Avondjurken years of her handsome Knight in Shining Armor, she has eventually found him, and is about to embark on a completely different phase of life - one that includes him, and actually revolves around him, with only their love and commitment as the focus. It is a pious union of two souls, blessed as they are by the great Lord, encouraging them to fuse into one complete entity, and face every aspect of life in this very form, with complete dedication and loyalty to each other, and enough love to fill every heart that beats in this entire world.





Now, since the wedding is one of the most significant events in a woman's life, each and every aspect of it is also equally significant. However, there happens to be one aspect which, at least for the bride, is actually a little more important than the others, and that is her special bridal wedding dress. There are many facets to be taken care of when it comes to selecting the perfect wedding dress for you, and all of them are equally important.





First of all, you need to know the theme of your wedding. This decides the important aspects of the wedding dress. You need to know whether you are holding a gothic wedding, or a casual one, for then it will require a wedding dress that will match the concept, namely a celtic wedding dress or a casual one, respectively. Your budget also plays a very important role in deciding the kind of wedding dress you ought to choose.





Next, you must take care of the fabric of the wedding dress. You could select between any comfortable types of clothing material, the thickness depending on the season, and, once again, the theme. Once you have decided this, your next step would be to decide on the kind of cut you want to wear in the form of your wedding dress. The cut not only includes the length and neckline, but also the overall contour ad fitting of the dress. Ensure that you choose a cut that suits the theme, season, and of course, the fabric of the dress in itself, and is, most importantly, comfortable for you to wear. For instance, in case you are expecting a baby, you will need a pretty maternity wedding dress, which will enhance your motherly beauty, apart from the obvious bridal kind.





Depending Cocktailjurken on these factors, you need to decide on the color of the wedding dress. While white is the traditional and conventional hue for a bride, you could select any other one based on your wedding theme and, obviously, your preference. The accessories that you select for your wedding dress, such as gloves, veil or tiara, and the special hand bouquet of beautiful and fragrant flowers, depend on all the facets mentioned above. You can make your choice from the available options.





Choosing the perfect wedding dress is going to be extremely difficult, but if you follow the right steps in the right manner, you are sure to look absolutely stunning on your wedding day, just as you always wanted, and it is really doubtful if your Prince Charming, or any other male in the vicinity, for that matter, will have eyes for any other woman, apart from you. All brides really wants to be different and unique in every way. In walking down the aisle, all eyes





should be on you, the bride. Your The Wedding dress should be.

Moroccan Theme Engagement Party




My name is Vloer Lengte Avondjurken Onida Cruz. I am the quintessential Taurus female! I'm addicted to romance novels {I subscribe mouwloos avondjurken to Harrequin and receive 4 each month}, Manhattan's Garment District, winter Caribbean beach vacations, monthly spa days, and celebrity gossip blogs {the YBF and Perez Hilton being my favorites}! I love to spend QT with my baby girl and sisters. I wear dresses 90% of the time-- there is something about just putting on one garment and going that just works for me.





I enjoy the luxuries of life (I swoon for Bottega Veneta, Vivenne Tam, and Max Mara). I driven to succeed and never been one to settle bruidsmeisjes jurken for just good enough. I am all about going hard or going home.





Event planning, designing, being a new mommy, I can do it all and not break a sweat. Stress . . . What stress? Nothing a three hour spa appointment can not fix.

Morning Dress




Morning Dress is the English and American set of formal dress attire that is Vloer Lengte Avondjurken traditionally worn before nightfall. It is related to evening dress, which is usually worn after dark.





Morning dress attire consists of a few specific clothing articles. The Lange Cocktailjurken most unique article is the jacket, whose design is derived from that of the frock coat, black or charcoal gray, with a long skirt in the back, cutting away to form an oblong tail as it suppresses the hips, and buttoning at mid-waist. Under the jacket is worn either a single- or double-breasted waistcoat, usually matching in color, and a white, stiff-collared shirt with a necktie. The trousers are almost as interesting as the jacket: They are striped in charcoal gray and black, and to be worn only with suspenders. Black dress shoes are a must, and, if it pleases, a cane and gloves can also be worn without the commission of any morning dress faux pas. You can even wear a gray or black top hat.





Morning dress, or, at the very least, the morning coat, was developed from the British equestrian tradition. In the mid-19th century, when modern morning dress was established, men might have worn frock coats Trouwjurken 2013 on their morning horse ride, should the jackets have been suited to be worn so; but for the sake of ease, tailors began to modify frock coats to accomodate morning riders by gradually cutting away at the front panels of the jacket from behind -- forming the rear skirt. It's true, the rest of the attire carried over from morning riding dress, which was, until the mid-19th century, considered much less formal than evening dress; but with the new coat, the whole outfit became accepted by a more progressive fashion world as formal dress, which is just what it is today.





In the United States, the stroller jacket has overtaken the morning coat in popularity as formal morning dress. It is considered by most to be less formal than the morning coat, and looks something like a scant tuxedo jacket. It is also usually worn with a waistcoat, dress shirt and tie, but, unlike the morning coat, is often worn with solid-colored trousers, and the waistcoat is often white, or some color dissimilar to the jacket's.

Monterey Budget Fashion




I know that question can have certain people running for the hills, I was one of those people. Just the thought of trying to work a sewing machine scared me. As well as the thought of actually wearing the clothes I attempted to make. No thank you!





Well im pretty sure you all have heard the old saying " If you don't succeed the first time, get up and try again." Well believe me in order to just get the feel of the sewing machine, I had to " try, and try again." Needless to say my kids aren't too happy with the "homemade" curtains they have hanging in their Trouwjurk Lange Mouw rooms. I"ll get back to them eventually :).





Now Im talking to all the amateur sewers out there. The ones that want to sew, really, really sew, but don't exactly have the skills to do it, well I've got the perfect dress for you to make, It's very versatile, comfortable, and very easy to sew. I am far from a professional seamstress or anything like that, but this dress was soo easy to make. The one thing that I loved about it was I Feest Jurken had to pieces in my closet that I loved, I just couldn't part with either of them. There was this very beautifully sequined top, and a flowery summer dress, in an awsome auqa color. I loved these to pieces. The top was one of those ones that is too short, you know those ones that kinda roll up and let the love handles hang freely. not my best fit, so no thank you. Well it was soo pretty and only five bucks I had to get it,even though it just hung in my closet for the longest time. There was also this beautiful blue summer dress that I really loved, but it was just a little too tight up top. Five dollar steal though, I couldn't resist. Well come to find out the two pieces would come together as a beautiful dress thats comfortable and I love to wear it. Here Lange Avondjurken is a link to show you step by step on how to make a great dress, look good, great for summer, or shopping, or even just lounging around at home, and It wont break your bank either. With a few accessories you'll be looking like a million bucks, but don't worry your secret is safe with me :)Now thats what I call fashion on a budget!


Modesty Replacing Overexposure




Gone are the skin-centric, tummy-revealing and possibly private part-exposing trends that Spears and friends like Paris Hilton made ubiquitous. Instead, designers are embracing modesty, using sheer fabrics and lingerie looks to subtly hint at sexiness.





It's an extension of the ladylike trends for fall; designers seem to have made the collective decision that a lot of skin isn't in.





On Tuesday, Monique Lhuillier presented sophisticated, fluid looks that celebrate a woman's shape without squeezing it. Carmen Marc Valvo showed tasteful swimwear with plenty of coverage, flattering pintucks and low leg openings. Even pantyhose made a comeback over the weekend at the Derek Lam show.





Of course, every rule has an exception. Marc Korte Trouwjurk Jacobs bucked the trend on Monday with plenty of glimpses of bras, Vintage Trouwjurk slips and tap pants -- but the show was more of an Feest Jurken artistic statement than a presentation of wearable fashions.





New York Fashion Week wraps up Wednesday after an eight-day preview of the spring-summer looks of 100 or so designers.





But it looked like he could have used a little more time. Models were wearing what Jacobs called "scrap tops" and "one-half gowns" -- clothes that one presumes were left unfinished to make an ironic statement -- thus, giving the audience plenty of glimpses of their silk, satin and crepe bras, slips and tap pants.





On their own, individual elements of the outfits, such as a black lace cape or a moire sleeveless trench coat, were very attractive, but wearable clothes weren't the point here.





The entire show was staged backward, beginning with his bow, then the finale and then running through the looks, starting with No. 56 and ending with No. 1, a denim cape and sequined gown. Some of the shoes had heels built sideways into the uppers, while others skimmed so low on the heel they looked too small for the models.





Even with all this "message," the collection largely fit into some of the more important trends emerging from New York Fashion Week: color-blocking, sheer overlays, sequins, and nude and natural colors with bright pops from purple, pink and orange.





And now for something completely different: Calvin Klein's spring collection was neither feminine nor rich in detail. It wasn't candy-colored nor rooted in nature's neutral colors. No ruffles. No sequins.





The collection designer Francisco Costa turned out Tuesday had a unique streamlined and sophisticated look that had been virtually absent from the runways at New York Fashion Week, bucking every trend along the way.





Half the outfits were a creamy white color, and another, say, 25 percent were various shades of gray. The only pops of color came from a few green dresses near the end of the presentation, held in the sparse, industrial-looking ground floor of the company's Garment District office building.





The clothes, ranging from the opening ensemble -- a notch-collar seamless jacket with a stretch, string-back bodysuit and long, high-waisted pencil skirt -- to an almost floor-length satin organza dress with molded short sleeves, were serene and elegant.





A group of double-panel dresses were light and delicate, while the trouser looks, some with skinny legs, others with wide legs and all with high waists -- were long and lean.





The spring collection, however, strayed from the volume and all the jeweled embellishment that have been her hallmark in recent seasons, instead offering mostly sophisticated, fluid looks.





The last look might have been the best example: a black chiffon gown with a fitted corset bodice and a draped skirt that came together in a bow at the waist. There were plenty of more colorful options, including seafoam-colored chiffon strapless gown with draping all over the top -- down below the hips -- and then a billowy handkerchief hem and a nude-colored chiffon crisscross draped bodice gown.





These fashion confections -- inspired by Laduree macaroons -- carried through to some outstanding daytime outfits, including a light yellow metallic tweed suit with a shawl-collar jacket and a slim pencil skirt worn with a cream-colored V-neck halter blouse with ruffles down the front.





But even when you're dealing with such dainty, delicate details, there can be too much of a good thing and one dress -- a one-shoulder tulle gown with seemingly endless tiers covered with light green flowers -- was just too much of everything.





There's been a lot of talk about happy, sunny clothes as spring collections are previewed on the runway. But, until the Anna Sui show Monday night, there hadn't been many signs of happy, sunny models.





Apparently all it takes to make the catwalkers come to life are colorful wigs, playful clothes and a soundtrack that includes the old Andrews Sisters hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy."





The first look on the runway was a bolero with black sequins, a multicolored diamond-print blouse and plaid shorts. Is someone likely to wear it to work next season? Probably not, but it sure looks good on the runway.





For those who are indeed looking for Sui to provide real-world wardrobe solutions, she offered a plaid jacket-and-jumpsuit set -- worn with a colorful print blouse underneath -- as well as a white-and-black, Art Deco-themed dress. For parties, there were several pairs of flutter shorts with tiers of ruffles on the behind and a shirtdress with a plaid pattern featured on a sheer fabric.





A black-and-white striped sateen coat worn with a bow blouse and white linen shorts had a 1970s vibe, as well as many of the scarf- and shirtdresses done in prints with bold colors.





Two of the best outfits on the runway at the Bryant Park tents were a raw-silk officer's jacket in a sandy color with gold buttons, worn with a brown organza blouse with a cascading ruffle down the front and a tropical wool "mariner's" pants that hit mid-calf, and super-sophisticated organza trench coat in a light oyster color. The coat was paired with an attractive brief-style navy swimsuit, but it actually seemed a waste of such a good topper.





In his notes, Valvo said he aimed to craft clothes to dress the sirens of the sea, tempting them with seashell colors and mimicking the ocean's ripples with ruffles.





White silk gazar made a strapless corset with fanlike pleats light and airy, and it looked chic with black cocktail pants -- a pleasant break from the harder-to-wear cocktail shorts that have seem to have been all over other catwalks.

More modest wedding spending the trend




An IBISWorld industry survey has found that sluggish retail spending is flowing through to the wedding market and the number of marriage ceremonies is remaining largely static.





An estimated 119,000 couples will tie the knot in 2012-13, about the same number as in 2011-12.





The 2012 update on Australia's $4.4 billion wedding industry released on Wednesday found Australian couples spent $36,700 on average on weddings in 2011-12.





IBISWorld (Australia) General Manager Karen Dobie said the modest 1.4 per cent increase Grote Maten Trouwjurken was in line with sluggish growth across the retail sector.





"While unemployment remains low and disposable incomes continue to rise, we are opting to save rather than splurge more often than not," she said Feest Jurken in a statement.





IBISWorld senior analyst Naren Sivasailam said people were choosing to have less extravagant weddings.





"People are Cocktailjurken marrying older and they do have more money, but with that age I think comes a bit of prudence in spending as well," he told AAP.





The average age of grooms is 31.4 years, while brides are 29.2 years.





Mr Sivasailam said spending was moving from bespoke wedding dresses and photography and video production towards food, flowers, stationery and other expenses.





Anecdotal evidence pointed to women choosing cheaper off-the-rack dresses requiring minimal alterations, he said.





"There have been a few rather high-profile bridal boutiques that have closed over the past 12 months."





Mr Sivasailam said having a professional wedding photographer for 12 hours was also becoming less common as digital cameras made photography and filming easier.

More attention from men when dressed low




So many women have no idea Vloer Lengte Avondjurken how to dress for the club or bar. Many get all dolled up, loads of make up, sparkly dresses or shirts, revealing clothing, heels, etc.





No way in hell would I ever approach Feest Jurken a girl dressed like that. Says she's high maintanence. Dressing like that doesn't even look good, it looks fake. What would I want to get with that for? High maintanence girls are needy and gold diggers, and etc. Not always of course, but there's a correlation. And it's enough to keep me away.





I've made an interesting observation these past few weeks. One weekend, I wasn't planning to go out and was at my friends house. I didn't want to go home to change so I just decided to 'be brave' and go out to this bar/club in the casual attire I had on (my friend's clothes don't fit me). I was basically in jeans, a long sleeved, cotton Cocktailjurken top and flat military boots. Somehow I got into this bar/club. Now I don't usually get approached much by men when out, I'd say it happens here and there. But for some reason, this night, I was 'hit on' incessantly. And not just by creeps, one very good-looking, intelligible man approached me and showed interest even though I was with my friend who was dressed up and looked drop-dead gorgeous. Why a man like that would approach me and not someone like my friend, I have no idea. Anyways I went home that night and my friends kept on raving on about how I was hit on all night. I decided to test this theory further and have started going out dressed more casual. Same effect. Any opinions as to why this is occurring?

Mom what do you think




OK, it is true that the shoes will be carried around in her hands most of the night and maybe she'll learn a valuable lesson from that. They hobble around like those Chinese ladies who had their feet bound as infants. I never wore such shoes after seeing what was happening with my oldest sisters as I reached that critical age.





It really is possible to find and wear fashionable shoes without falling for the torture devices the "everybody is wearing them" crowd buys like sheep.





As I mom, I took a look at the dress and the shoes and think she'll look great! Hate to say it, but you can back off a bit. If you want, you could suggest she get the same shoe but with Feest Jurken a little lower heel.





The Cocktailjurken dress isn't all that revealing or to low cut.





Must be hard. We raised 2 sons. Never had a daughter. So I can see where you're coming from. I've watched what some of the girls my sons went out with and the girls wore more revealing things and were younger than 16!





Just put those rules out there. Such as Lange Avondjurken who are you going with, what time is the dance over, are you going out to eat or stopping at another person's house, are parents going to be there. I always asked all of those questions and even followed through with calling the parents to see if they were really going to be there!

Top 7 Tips to Becoming a Dynamic Presenter




Death is often quoted as the second greatest fear for people. While, public speaking has reigned at number one for quite some time. Although I would pick a speech over death, there was probably a time in my life when I would have seriously considered the choice. In college, Communications was my minor, but I never signed-up for Communications 101 because you had to present in front of the class. I thought I was pretty slick for avoiding the class. Little did I realize my leadership career would place me in presentation situations on a regular basis.





Thankfully, I am now fully recovered from my Laliophobia (fear of public speaking). I decided this fear was not going to limit my career. To that end, I attended trainings and performed my own research on presentation skills. Below are seven of the most helpful tips I discovered for becoming a dynamic presenter.





Prepare: Know your audience and what you want them to know. profession, standards of dress, education level). Prepare your presentation to meet their needs. People tend to remember only 3 or 4 points from a presentation. fluff).





Humor: Make fun of situations, yourself, but never the audience. Jokes often help a presentation, but even one bad joke can hurt a presentation beyond repair. Sometimes the less humor used, the more impact it has on the presentation when it is delivered. When using humor, keep in mind these rules:





* This is a business setting and the jokes must be clean and non-offensive;





* Have some connection between the joke and your topic; and





* The only safe bunt of a joke is the speaker; never alienate the audience with insults.





No Apologies: Never start a presentation with an apology. How many times have you heard a presenter begin by saying "I am sorry I have a cold, or I am nervous?" If you have a cold, the sniffles do a fine job of making that apparent. Or, if there are no outward signs, who really needs to know you don't feel well? Many people use such statements as a way of requesting leniency from the audience. Apologies like this announce to the audience, "the presentation you are about to receive is less than you deserve, but please don't blame me."





Attention: Get and keep their attention. Different people have different learning styles. Some learn by simply listening, some need to see it, and some learn best by experiencing it. If appropriate, try to fit all aspects into the presentation. Visual aides are a great way to keep your audience's attention. No matter what your medium (projector, flip chart, power point), it is important to remember a few rules about visual aides:





* Allow for some white space, don't fill the entire paper or slide with details or pictures;





* Use alternating colors for easier reading; and





* Visual aides support the presentation; do not use them as the entire presentation - be prepared to add commentary to the visual aides.





Move: Make the most of your movement. I appreciate the value of high energy and enthusiasm. Many of my presentations incorporate both strategies. At times however, too much high-energy and movement can be distracting, actually taking away from your message. Appropriate use of movement is the key. Simple hand gestures may be all you need to make a point. On the other hand, sometimes it may take running around the room. Your movement is most effective when it helps the audience connect to your subject.





Voice: Use your voice to make your point. Seems obvious, use your voice when you are speaking. Well, here are some specific tips on HOW to use it:





* Speak up! - Nothing takes away from a great presentation more than having audience members acting like a commercial for Miracle Ear, 'What'd he say!?" Have someone stand in the back of Cocktailjurken the room and signal if you need to be louder.





* No fillers - similar to foods, the best presentations have no fillers. That is, no 'um's, uh's" to fill the space between Avondjurken 2012 when you think Korte Cocktailjurken of something and when you actually say it. Silence between statements allows your audience to process what you said.





* Switch it up - to emphasize a point, speak louder or even speak softer; the change in volume will get the audience's attention.





Respect: Show respect to the audience and they will show it to you. Remember, the audience wants you to do well and the smallest amount of respect will win over even the toughest critics. Similar to one-on-one conversations, showing respect to people can make all the difference in the communication. Here are some ways to demonstrate respect for your audience:





* Eye contact - maintain eye contact with the audience. Slowly move from person to person and occasionally hold the contact for a few seconds.





* Honesty - when you don't know the answer, admit it, offer to find out, and get back to the person.





* Save face - if you must disagree with an audience member, do so in a manner that allows the person to save face.





* Self-correction - if an audience member is not paying attention, encourage self-correction, by walking closer to them as you speak. The "distracter" will notice your proximity and stop the distraction.





Incorporate these tips as best you can, but do not allow them to take away from who you are and what you say. Some of the most successful speakers break several speaking rules. Take these seven tips, mix them with your own unique style, and your presentations are sure to be dynamic!

Top 7 Tips For Marketing To Attorneys For Appraisers




In a normalizing housing market, networking is more important than ever. Appraisers, title companies, mortgage brokers and other professionals are looking for new sources of business and marketing to attorneys is one way they're doing it. Attorneys specializing in foreclosure, divorce, eminent domain and other cases can be a rich source of well paying work. Here are some tips on how to market to attorneys if you're used to pitching to lenders, consumers or others. (Remember: If applicable, be sure you stick to HUD's referral relationship guidelines any time you try to get business from another professional.)





Make a great first impression. If you're meeting your attorney prospect in person, act and dress professionally. If on the phone, bring your best businesslike phone manner. Printed material should be sharp, attractive and professional. Always remember: Everything you do is marketing.





Act, speak, and write professionally. Attorneys are no different than others -- they want to work with people like themselves. Being Prom Jurken familiar and buddy-buddy may be the best way to go with homeowners or even lenders, but it's not how to market to attorneys. Be professional.





Get to the point. Distractions and attention-grabbing tricks won't work. Being clear and persuasive will. A lawyer's time is valuable. You've heard of the "elevator pitch" -- how you would sell someone your service if you only had an elevator ride to do it? Definitely use your "elevator pitch" when it comes to marketing to attorneys.





"Speak to their pain." Attorneys don't care how you can help a lender, consumer, government agency or anyone else accomplish their goals. They care how you can help them. When you market to attorneys, keep in mind they want to know you'll produce a reliable service in a professional manner. Appraisers, title companies and others should not emphasize speed, fee, volume, or other things that impress lenders and consumers. Your message when marketing Vloer Lengte Avondjurken to attorneys should emphasize your qualifications, professionalism and reliability.





Print is better than a phone call. To reach a lawyer on a cold call you're likely to have to go through a secretary, paralegal or assistant. A postcard or simple Avondjurken 2013 mailing has a much better chance of reaching them. It's also a great place to put your contact information and website in a format they can pick up off the desk and refer to.





Use text-only e-mail. Your attorney prospect is more likely than your lender client to rely on a PDA or smartphone. Flashy HTML e-mail isn't the way to go - use text e-mail to market to attorneys. If you have an elaborate e-mail signature, best to avoid that, too. Stripping the fancy fonts, colors and code out of your message is part of getting to the point and shows you know how to market to attorneys -- directly, succinctly and without a lot of fluff.





Network in person. Lawyers in most states are required to get Continuing Legal Education (CLE) regularly. The local bar association helps them. Contact the bar association serving your area or state and see if you're welcome to attend a session on real estate law, property valuation, mortgage fraud, or something similar. Or if you're a confident public speaker, offer to participate in a similar CLE session as an expert. You may find they're planning a CLE session where the perspective of a real live appraiser, title abstractor, mortgage broker or Realtor would be welcome. Whether speaking or just listening at these events, bring lots of business cards and don't come back with any left over.

Top 7 Tips To Treat And Prevent Calf Pain




You are playing tennis. Lange Avondjurken You hit a backhand and set yourself for the volley. It is a lob. You take off,, lunging to reach the shot and all of a sudden you hear a snap, and you can't move forward. You feel as though you have lost control of your left calf. That is the scenario of a ruptured tendon. But calf pain is not always so drastic. Often, it is a dull ache that grates your lower leg. Sore calves can be triggered by foot problems, such as high arches or flat feet, or by ill-fitting shoes. Or the pain may be the result of a muscle tear, a partial rupture of the Achilles tendon, or the tendon inflammation called tendonitis. Problems like that will need to be treated by a doctor, of course. But if you have injured your calf or, more commonly, simply suffer from aching legs, here are some tips that you can consider to adopt.





If your calf pain is caused by an injury, take pressure of your heel. Heel lifts available at athletic shoe stores can help ease the strain on tendons and muscles. To make heel lifts, cut two 1/4-inch-thick pieces of cork and place them in your shoes.





RICE means rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Rest an injured calf for the first day or two, ice the area for no more than 20 minutes at a time every 2 to 3 hours as needed, compress the leg with an elastic bandage, and elevate the leg above the level of your heart, if possible. You can apply moist heat such as hot water bottle to the injury after the first 72 hours. Moist heat is more effective than dry heat.





When you wear arch supports inside your shoes, they help correct mechanical imbalances that affect the way you walk. These imbalances may throw off your gait and put extra pressure on your calves.





Once the swelling recedes, rub Cocktailjurken your injured calf with a pain-relieving balm and wrap it in a plastic wrap. Then top that wrap with an elastic bandage. This will help to retain the heat and relax the calf muscles so that it doesn't cramp up. You can wear the combination wrap as long as it is comfortable.





It is recommended to replace worn shoes. Losing the shock absorption in your shoes can lead to calf pain. Once you lose 1/8 inch of thread, get new shoes or have the soles replaced.





To reduce the pain and inflammation of an injured calf, try an over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as ibuprofen. If you still need pain medication after a week, see a doctor.





If your calf pain is not the Korte Trouwjurk result of an injury, revamping your footwear may relieve the soreness. It is recommended to wear running shoes as often as possible. If you have to wear dress shoes at work, change into them when you get to the office.

Top 7 Characteristics of Great Speakers




You consider them experts. Primarily, mastery results from wide reading, research, interviewing experts, and learning through professional associations, not because you have to but because you have an overwhelming urge to learn all you can on this theme.





Keep this in mind: Great speakers don't settle for reading articles in popular magazines, watching TV specials, or coffee shop conversations. No amount of showmanship could compensate for lack of expertise.





Outstanding speakers avoid saying they are going to deliver a speech. That sounds too bland and routine, like delivering a package. Instead, they visualize having a dinner conversation with friends, when you'd share your ideas naturally, with no pretense.





In fact,the finest speech coaches suggest that a speech should become a lively conversation with your audience. Bush, Trouwjurk Lange Mouw said: "The best communicators I've ever known never changed their style of delivery from one situation to another." Ailes observed that they were the same whether they are "delivering a speech, having an intimate conversation, or being interviewed on a TV talk show."





The audience becomes the centerpiece Vintage Trouwjurk of attention. If the speaker focuses too much on herself and the impression she is making, she will become unnerved by a simple mispronunciation, and will lose confidence and poise. So start by selecting a topic that mesmerizes you, demands your total commitment. Then you won't have to simulate enthusiasm.





Seek what actors call "the illusion of the first time." Although you have thought these thoughts hundreds of times, your listeners want spontaneity, as though you had just discovered these ideas and words.





Vary your voice in pitch, rate, and volume, just as you do in casual chit chat.





Gesture freely, naturally, without rehearsed motions.





Think back to your childhood days. When a parent or other relative sat by your bed at night and said, "Once upon a time," a magical world opened for you. As long as you can remember, stories grabbed you, and wouldn't let go until you had heard all of the fables.





As adults, we still respond to intriguing stories. People learn from and remember the anecdotes, not your statistics.





Paint word pictures. Create a "you are there" sensation.





Yes, "casual dress" has permeated the work place. The trend started with Casual Fridays, with more days added eventually. Even so, speakers need to look like professionals when they face audiences.





Your audience wants you to dress a level above their garb, just to indicate respect for them and the situation. Check with your club or convention host to determine Trouwjurken 2013 the appropriate dress style. Fifteen years ago, a coat and tie were mandatory for male speakers. Now a mock turtle neck and classy blazer are likely to match expectations.





As casual as society has become, good grooming still matters.





You don't have to fit a mold that seems right for most other presenters.





Other presenters may cling tightly to a podium, while you choose to wander among the audience, even getting comments from those in the back of the auditorium.





Other speakers may never quote poetry, yet you can do that if you select a poem that illustrates your point compellingly.





Other speakers may avoid magic, acrobatics, singing, props, or impersonation. But if any of those work well for you, be atypical.


Top 5 Worst Everybody Loves Raymond Episodes




Everybody Loves Raymond is the Korte Cocktailjurken kind of show either you love it, or you hate it. I loved it, it was so relatable and the actor were pro Ok, Ray wasn much of an actor but we didn care. When I decided to talk about Everybody Loves Raymond, I couldn come up with a single episode that was notably bad right off the top of my head. Unlike other shows, there wasn one show which jumped out at me as one I can stand to watch when it on.





The problem with this show wasn specific episodes which failed, because most of the episodes were consistent, but with recurring themes which were annoying. I could make a list of shows where Ray did something smart only to have it get turned around and have it be a stupid thing. Party Dress is a prime example. The whole show is about Ray not wanting to spend lots of money for a party dress for his daughter, which he finally does. This act of kindness is undone when they get to the party and find out that no one is wearing a party dress after all.





Or how about episodes where Ray has a feeling about something or someone but rather than support him the family ridicule him? In Ray expressed feelings about a mean lady and rather than support that the family accuses him of hating women. The worst thing is when the episode is over and it is revealed the woman is mean, he gets no apology. The same thing happens in Annoying Kid Ray thinks their friend child is annoying, and Debra accuses him of hating children this time. In the end it turns out he is annoying, and again no apology. Of course if Ray had a backbone and stood up for himself, there would have been no series because he would have thrown Debra out. Then there was "Homework" where Ray complained about the amound of homework is daughter got, and got stuck discussing with the education review board. Does Debra help? No she's a witch (oh I hate her, we'll get into that in a second) it's just easy to push Ray into it amd mock him for not wantting to do something he isn't even qualified to do!. And when Marie helps it just becomes another "Ray is an idiot" scene. Even when he gives the good speech at the end the creators had to un do it for one last laugh!





The worst frequent theme was what I call Debra episodes. Normally Debra was a rational person, frustrated and angry sure but within reason. Other times she is just mean, and then there are times when she is crazy. She is screaming like a lunatic and never takes responsibility for anything. I already talked about "Homework" where she makes Ray feel like a bad father for not wanting to speak up about the amount of homework their daughter gets, but does she help him or say anything herself? I like when Ray comes upstairs at the beginning after helping Ally and she in bed reading without a care. Then later when she doesn help she trots out the did laundry crap. How about Charity where she uses Robert to discourage Ray from volunteering at a hospital because it not convenient for her, even though she pushed him into it. There is one episode where Ray talking about how much he likes pickles and Debra starts baning her head in frustration at her idiot husband. Nice.





I know I am being hard on Debra but Marie could also get ridiculous. Marie had such a fragile ego that the slightest thing threatened it. What was worst, the family were petrified to do or say anything which could upset her. is a good example, Ally is finally old enough to babysit but don tell grandma! I mean, really? This happened so often I could be here all day. How about when Debra actually cooked something good, and Marie acted like her whole world was falling apart? Of course we had Robert's Wedding where interupts the freaking ceremondy so she can feel good that she aired her concerns before Robert got married. NEVER ONCE THINKING HOW IT MIGHT AFFECT ROBERT OR AMY!





Frank was the best character because he was a jerk, that was it. Sometimes they would pretend like he had en ego to bruise but that never really stuck. Robert was the mopy neglected brother, and we tolerated his mopiness because we could see that he did have a point. True he didn't have to use that to play the victim like he did, but it was still understandable.





This was a dysfunctional group, not helped by the fact there were no boundaries. However most of the time this craziness was balanced just enough to be tolerated and even funny. We could relate to the situation, well I could at least, and there was some good writing here. Of course, not all of them were and as I did some digging I realized there were a couple episodes which failed. They failed not because the characters were crazy, but for one reason or another the craziness was just over the top and it almost became uncomfortable. Here is a list of top 5 episodes which were just bad, not just because or the reasons I listed above.





#5. Christmas Picture This is a bad episode disguised as a good episode. Everyone has had the experience of trying to get a family photo done, and this episode does a good job of showing the aggravation involved. The problem is with the way the conflict comes about. Ray decides to do portrait as his present to his mother. When Marie shoots down Debra idea regarding Christmas morning, she gets revenge by inviting her parents to sabotage shoot. It bothers me that she would do something so mean, it downright evil. She is using her parents to get back at Ray and then throws a fit because just has to get her way as always While there is no question Marie is a nuisance, I think she deserves the sympathy here. The gift was for her, and why in the world would she want Debra parents in a picture of her family? And Debra doesn even mention it to Ray, and tries to make it seem like it was perfectly understandable. Debra is just way out of line, and of course it Ray who suffers for it.





#4. Date for Peter Sometimes it was Ray who would get carried away and this episode is a prime example. Finally, an episode where Ray is the one who is way out of line. Peter is Robert brother in law, and apparently in an attempt to bring some old characters back this episode brings a few recurring characters in as possible dates for Peter. One is Peggy, who Ray had the fight with in It hard to describe you really have to see it, but Ray goes out of his way to try and prevent Peter and Peggy from hooking up, even though they get along great and no one is talking commitment or anything. They throw out every series cliche like Ray accuding Debra of wanting a soldier in her battle with Marie (which just sounds ridiculous). Ray is just dumb in this episode, the one bright side is the end where Ray apologizes and we see Peter and Peggy hooked up anyway. Funny, we never saw Debra apologize for anything.





#3. with Marie This episode is a bad episode just because it's a bad episode, simple as that. In Season 3 Patricia Heaton had given birth and needed to be written out for a few episodes. We were stuck with a couple of episodes with Ray and his family, and little or no Debra. Most of them were ok, although without Debra it didn feel like the same show. I complain about Debra but she was an integral part of the show's dynamic. This episode was the worst, having no Debra, and we see Ray and Marie on a cruise where Marie is popular to Ray chagrin. At home Robert is forced to look after Frank who's hurt himself. This episode is just boring and it feels like each character is out of character for the whole half hour.





#2. Bigger Person. At the end of season six, they did a three episode arc about Debra getting into a fight with Marie and they wind up not even speaking to each other. This just seemed wrong, I know this isn The Brady Bunch but it still a sitcom and to not have the problem resolved was just unsettling. This episode is the worst of the three, as the husbands try to take advantage of their wives feud and Robert gets in the middle. Debra and Marie are both unlikable. Marie even tells Ray to shut up, which seems so out of character it's incredible! At the end of the episode Ray tries to sneak off to golf, and Debra acts like she is going to beat the crap out of him. Not funny, if I want anger and tension I will just visit my own parent thank you very much.





#1. You Notes. It amazing how an episode so Lange Cocktailjurken relatable can also be so aggravating. I know what it like to have a relative be irritatingly insistent you Lange Avondjurken get thank you notes out, but even though I relate to the situation I can forgive this episode for the way it goes. The first half isn so bad, but when Amy and Robert don seem to care about sending the note out to Marie friend, Marie does her guilt crap. Then Debra gets all excited about the chance to finally overthrow Marie and as she and Amy discuss strategy, Ray sneaks off to warn his mother. This episode is Marie at her worst, and Debra at her nuttiest. Actually I think that's why we buy Frank';s character, who wouldn't be like him if after being stuck with Marie for so long?





Well, that my list. As you can tell, Debra was the one character who annoyed me. When she was pleasant and nice I liked her, but when she acted all nuts I hated her. All in all, the show was funny and relatable. The writing was sharp and the performances well done. I do think the show went on a season or two to long, but that ok.
