Plus size clothing and dressing tips

Not so long ago, if a girl was looking for a plus size outfit, her options were severely limited. Nowadays, thankfully, it is so much easier to find stocks of clothing in the 16 -30 range. One fine example of such as store is Mad Fashions...you can find a link to them at the bottom of this article. Stocking beautiful European designs, in a range of fabrics and styles has resulted in this store becoming the place to shop for plus size clothing in Ireland. Mad Fashions specialize in mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and general wedding outfits. Karen, the proprietor, has put together the following tips on how to dress well.

When we want to look and feel good, it is not our shape or sizes that is so important. We should be more aware of how are clothes fit. The right clothes is not so much about the latest styles or fads or following the glossies. It is more about finding the right outfit that compliments our bodies and what makes us feel good. Today, the choice is so varied, we should be able to find something that will compliment our shape, size and colorings.

Always flatter your body shape by following simple guidelines -
Never finish any part of a garment at the widest part of your body
Do not let hem lines finish at the fullest part of your legs
Do not let tops finish short of your tummy if you have a wide waist
Wear 3/4 length sleeves in tops etc. if you have a very full bust.

Wearing the correct underwear is also very important, not only to support your boobs but to provide the foundation for your clothes, along with good knickers and no V.P.L. - eliminate it by making sure the elastic does not cut into your flesh.

These are the golden rules when out shopping for clothes, and if we stick to these, we will have no problems at all. Remember also that complementary jewelry or a nice hat will also help in preparing yourself for that wedding or big night out.

In place of stairs or staircases, escalators are a convenient way to navigate places or premises within malls, state and federal buildings, train stations, and airports.

But due to heavy human traffic in these places, escalators are prone to damage and malfunction, which sometimes result in accidents.

In Los Angeles as in any other city, escalator accidents are similarly common. In Los Angeles, a number of buildings are equipped with escalators, making them vulnerable to escalator accidents.

Small Business Loans: Any Good News From Congress?

Banks loaning to small businesses. Now that is an intriguing thought. Finding one in this troubled economy is a cross between wish fulfillment and downright desperation. But I would like to throw a little good news your way for a change. On April 19th Congress made it even easier and cheaper to secure that needed capital for your small business working capital or expansion needs. Yes, those of little faith, I am talking about our very own the U.S. Congress.

First, the not so interesting facts about the program and then how it may affect us small business owners. SBA loans are not made by the Federal government. Instead, private lenders are licensed with the SBA and provide the actual funds. The reason banks are interested is the SBA guarantee issued for each loan. If you do not make your payments and there is a loss, the bank will be reimbursed. Bingo, the idea is to give them more incentive to make the loans in the first place.

But who pays to reimburse for those losses? Traditionally, each borrower paid a fee on closing to Washington DC to be used as a war chest. But that was somewhat expensive and so in February of 2009 with the Stimulus Act--American Reinvestment and Recovery Act-we as taxpayers began subsidizing those losses and no more fees were charged. In turn, this requires Congress to allocate money for the program. So far, they have made a subsidy approximately five times, renewing it each time. The current subsidy of 80 million now lasts through the end of May, 2010. It also continues in effect a 90% guarantee on those losses.

So far so good. The effect is there are banks out there right now who are interested in lending under a micro program called SBA Community Express. This gives unsecured small business loans between $5,000 and $25,000 with very little paperwork, answers typically in 3-5 days, interest rates presently at 7.75%, only $60 per month per $5,000 borrowed, funding in two weeks, and monies wired directly to your business account. There are still lenders participating in this program.

It could not come at a better time. While small businesses are hanging on tightly with both hands, they could use some relief in the form of competitively priced SBA loans. At a minimum, they will be available through the end of May. For the 28 million small businesses in this country, it is a well deserved shot in the arm.

How to Operate and Grow A Home Based Web Site Design Business

As the economic downturn continues, growing number of people are moving towards starting up their own personal business - which includes freelancers, independent contractors and other forms of self-employment.

Many try to thread this path out of necessity (for example, unemployment) while others choose this option to gain more time for themselves and for their families.

Web design is one of most popular personal business, due to its lower business start-up costs, lower relative risk associated with starting a personal business and advances in the Internet resulting to a proliferation of freelance web designers, developers and other web-related work.

Many freelancers think that since they're freelancers they have much control of their time and do with it whatever they want. However, they fail to realize that the contrary to this belief holds more water and their lack of action in this area would eventually lead to their failure as a freelancer.

Knowing how to leverage your time effectively, particularly in the web design and development business, can help you reap greater rewards and more substantial income that you'll ever will.

There are basically two kinds of income that freelancers should know about: active income and passive income. Understanding how these income streams differ from another could give freelancers an insight on what they should pay more attention to.

Active income is a reciprocal type of income. It is the type of compensation received in exchange for a fixed amount of time and particular work performed. The more work you do, the more income you get. However, if you stop performing any work, your income will also stop.

This is the kind of work arrangement most freelance web developers have. Should they get sick or go on vacation, they will not be able to render work in order to receive a corresponding income.

On the other hand, passive income is the kind of compensation received even if you are not directly working on a particular project. It is the kind of income you receive as a result of a system you put in place - even if you are not physically there.

It would be like duplicating or cloning yourself and have that clone do all the bulk of the web design and development work for you - giving you more time to spend on other matters.

Most people think that web design and development is a very complicated thing that would entail sophisticated technical skills, considerable hours of training and a significant drain to your resources - finances and time.

That's why many freelancers limit their income potential simply because they could do only so much for a limited amount of time. If they try to hire another skilled designer or developer to help them with a project, a significant amount of the profit simply goes to the contractor.

But this should not be the case. Freelancers should know how to stop re-inventing the wheel and focus on strategies that will not only save them time but would also earn them viable amounts of income.

For example, using website builder software packages and templates would be a very effective tool for freelancers to achieve just that. Despite its relatively ease of use, the websites you can create with these application can be professional looking, and suitable for clients with limited budget and cannot afford a fully custom made website projects.

By using website building software packages, freelancers can churn out a wide variety of website templates with sought-after features that most clients look for - but at a fraction of the time consumed when building websites using traditional programs or applications.

They can spend this extra time for other pursuits or for more focused and effective marketing campaigns to get higher-paying projects.

These website builder software packages often equipped with a variety of superb features that can rival the output of professional web design houses and developers. Not only can you build sites more quickly, you can also add in extra features to the site including website calendars, online video gallery, music players, photo galleries, clickable maps and a whole lot more.

Aside from that, you can consider employing less-skilled but trainable staff who you could teach using the website builder applications, so to maximize your income potential. You can let these staff handle these general website clients while you focus on the high-end and more complicated stuff.

This system can help you to generate passive income, so that your team can work on clients projects for you, even when you are away or not having time to work on all projects personally.

Knowing how to manage and save time effectively with available website design software, templates, and slowly build-up your team can help your personal business to grow gradually and become more profitable. It's just a matter or working smarter - and not harder.

Mid Back Pain: Relief Without Drugs

By Lewis Phillips

Once an injury to the spine has occurred, regular, often persistent mid back pain can follow; proprietary medication is often the first route to back pain relief; While there are a host of prescription medications that help with pain relief, many are doing nothing more than masking the symptoms instead of tackling the underlying cause of the pain.

Long term medication of pain killers is something that should be supervised as other problems can occur because of their continued use. Back pain is often caused by muscle strain, repeated strenuous exercise and poor sitting posture.

It can also be caused if you are lifting heavy loads and usually characterized by a sharp pain to your lower back. However, a number of mid back pain relief treatments can be used without the need for drugs. Stretching can be effective at reducing back as it relaxes the muscles which are often tense.

Success at reducing pain and providing relief has also been found by people using reflexology to the feet. It is often successful at treating people with long term conditions. In addition to this, reflexology can also help to improve the blood circulation which in turn provides relief to aching and tired muscles.

The Chinese medical art of acupuncture can also be used to help bring mid back pain relief, something which has only been recognized a short while in the West. If you follow Traditional Chinese medicine, then you will know that they believe all people have a unique energy force running through their body called qi or chi.

Chi is blocked energy in a sick body and needles inserted into specific points are reported to ease many types of pain. Like reflexology, acupuncture seems to be used by people who suffer with chronic conditions like mid back pain.

Relief can also come from another Chinese treatment like tai chi which is a form of yoga but not so strenuous. This method uses breathing control as the main source of relief with some stretching involved. It is so easy to learn by the young and old alike.

It would be a shame not to finish by remembering that exercise can provide mid back pain relief and that regular exercise is also one of the best preventative medicines available.

Digital Cable Boxes

By Ray Lam

Television has improved by leaps and bounds in the last two decades. Though this is a technology that has always been evolving, today's HDTV broadcasts and digital televisions have made viewing television programming all the better to view. Cable television is still very popular, though some find that satellite is more to their liking. If you have cable, you are probably using digital cable boxes in your home. These are becoming more and more advanced as well, and that can only enhance your television viewing experience.

Digital cable boxes are far more advanced then they were just fifteen years ago. Back then, they were rather easy to tinker with, and that meant many could get pay channels and events that they have not paid for. Today, messing with digital cable boxes is much harder, though I am sure there are still ways it can be done. However, security is a number one consideration, and cable companies make their cable boxes in digital form so that they are harder to break through. This also offers the opportunity to have more features.

One of the best features with new digital cable boxes is the ability to record programming right on the box. You don't need a VCR or a DVD player to do so, though you would need one of those if you wish to save it forever. Some digital cable boxes allow you to record up to 40 or 80 hours of programming, and some have much more than that. The only problem with this type of recording is that cable boxes sometimes need to be reset, and if that happens, you may lose what you have saved on there. You should still save anything important to DVD if possible so you are sure you don't lose it.

Updated versions of digital cable boxes allows you to order movies right from your television, and you don't have to pick up a phone to make a payment. Payment is made throught your television cable connection. You also have the ability to get HDTV service through your box if you have a compatible television set.

The possibilities for what can be done through a digital cable box are endless, it would seem, and there can only be great new things on the horizon for the cable companies and those that subscribe to their services. With things like telephone and even Internet coming through the cable lines, your box could be the center of your home communication and entertainment needs one day.
