Are you ready to incorporate the “WOW” factor into your new dream home? Whether it’s your dream home or an existing home that needs a design makeover, your first step is to hire an Interior Designer.
Why is it necessary to consider hiring a professional Interior Designer? Simply, because most of us do not have the expertise or lack the skill that it takes to decorate and design. You could end up spending more money on costly mistakes.
Leave it to a skilled and trained designer to bring your design dreams to fruition. Let their expertise open an endless world of possibilities when it comes to space planning, color, art, style and so much more.
So hiring the right Interior Designer is your next step. So how do you go about that? You should absolutely feel that your designer represents you to the best of their knowledge. How? They know how to listen to you as you share your desires and goals.
I have found as a practicing Interior Designer for over twenty years, that this seems to be where the problem lies in most cases. Clients have shared with me that some designers don’t know how to listen.
I suggest that you interview two or three designers before you hire one. It is a well known fact that you can talk to ten designers and get ten different design concepts. But your goal here is to hire the one you feel most comfortable with.
You’ll notice many personality types but I’m sure you’ll find one that you feel is on the “same page” as you. You should feel comfortable in the fact that your designer listens to your desires and goals.
Listen to your designer as well. They will share their design background and projects they have completed that will help you in your selection. Although you’ll want to know how years they have been practicing, the real importance lies in their confidence and professionalism.
Besides being very valuable in their skills and expertise, Interior Designers also come equipped with the knowledge of the best vendors in the industry. They know who to go to as well as who “not” to go to. Could you trust your decision?

Mail this postThe Inner and Outer Aspects of the Throat Chakra
August 23, 2009 by Estee Taschereau
Filed under Experts
In the energy body there are seven primary chakras, or energy centers. These centers can be viewed in a similar way like our organs, playing important roles in our lives. In this article we will talk about the function of the throat chakra.
This word, chakra, comes from an ancient language known as Sanskrit. It means wheel, which is the perception seen when viewing these energy centers clairvoyantly. Each of the seven primary chakras serves us in a certain aspect of our life. The throat chakra is our communication chakra.
Our ability to communication is most often seen as an exchange that flows between two distinct beings. Words are a common means of communication, but we are not limited to this single form. We have other means of communication like sign language that uses words, symbols and gestures to convey our message.
Our communication is multi-dimensional, meaning that it is not restricted to our words only. We use our facial expressions, our breath, and our silence to convey our messages.
The communication chakra does not work alone, but serves as the passageway for the many other chakras or spiritual centers in the body. When we use our communication skills we combine body mind and spirit through our ideas, feelings, belief system, and perceptions.
There is another aspect of the throat chakra that is called the inner voice. This ability connects us body, mind and spirit. Our inner voice is the conduit to connect to our own emotions, feelings, perceptions, knowledge and our higher spiritual powers.
Another part of the throat chakra is telepathy. While this name is often recognized many of us believe we have little or no experience with this ability. Telepathy does not use the physical means of communication, so there is no evidence of how much we really use this style of communication.
This basic overview gives you a greater awareness of the throat chakra and how this chakra helps us in our ability to communicate with others. Combining awareness and intent we can more easily heal ourselves, and strengthen our ability to express ourselves in this world.

August 23, 2009 by Brett Stephens
Filed under Experts
If you are thinking of doing a few upgrades to your garden, have you ever thought of getting a solar powered pump birdbath? In fact, why buy one, when you can make it?
So how will a solar powered pump birdbath benefit you?
The pros to getting one are:
a: The moving water in the fountain stop its from going stagnant
b: The pump does not have to plugged into your power supply
c: The pump works on direct current, so no inverter is required
d: Only a few inexpensive solar panels are needed to produce around 6 volts
e: Batteries are optional, since you usually only want the fountain to operate in the day when the birds are around.
f: You can save more money by making the entire birdbath and fountain yourself, even the solar panels.
g: The birdbath is wireless making it very portable.
And what does it take to make a solar powered pump birdbath?
The easiest way is to simply buy a birdbath with a pump and fountain already fitted. Then all you need to do is wire up some small solar panels.
The alternative is to, and more DIY approach is to buy a birdbath that is ready for a fountain pump to be installed (it has the right holes, and a place for the pump to be installed), and then add the various pump and power components.
If you go the DIY route, then you will need to get:
A Birdbath
It does not matter what birdbath you buy, but make sure there is a place for the fountain to be added. A few options for you would be copper, terracotta, cascading, ceramic, or resin birdbath fountains.
The Fountain Spout:
This attachment can be source from your nearby hardware store or garden center. It is an optional extra that helps make the water spout out of the top, instead of a small trickle.
Small DC Pump:
Depending your birdbath size, the volume of water to be pumped and how high you want to pump it, will help you decide on the voltage and size pump needed. For your average, medium-sized birdbath, a small 6 volt DC pump will suffice.
PVC pipe for irrigation:
This is what the water will flow through. It is best to ask your nursery about the various irrigation options. Otherwise, get ideas from finished pump powered fountains. As a rule of thumb, the PVC piping needs to be narrow to maintain enough water pressure.
Silicon Sealant:
Silicon sealant helps fill any cracks where water could escape, such as where the tubing enters the top of the birdbath. It can also be used to insulate any bare wires.
Some Solar Panels:
This is what sets this off-grid system apart from conventionally powered birdbath fountains. The pump will help determine how many solar panels you need. For a 6 volt DC pump, you will need at least a 6 volt solar panel, but rater double up on the solar panels for times when the sun is weak.
NB: For the solar panels, there are two options:
1 : Buy a small expensive solar kit from Wallmart or Target or any other local supplier.
2 : The cheaper, DIY route and make the panel yourself. Luckily this is actually rather simple for anyone to learn to do. So if you want to learn to make your own, then carry on reading to the end…
For the solar panel to operate effectively it needs to be fitted in a frame and angled in the direction of the sun. Placing it under a tree will not help.
How easy is it to put it all together?
If you have all the tools and materials and any diy experience, you could have a working solar powered pump birdbath within in a matter of hours – that’s if all goes to plan…
If you want you could also add some type of power storage to the system. That way the batteries can store power, which can be used to operate the pump 24 hours a day. To have this option you will need:
1) 12 volt battery:
Since the system is small, a 12 volt battery should be enough. This will be wired up between the charge controller and the pump.
Charge Controller:
This is not that important, but to protect the battery from over-charging and to maximize it lifespan, you should a charge controller that sits between the solar panels and the battery.
Over and above it being affordable to build, what I like about putting together my own solar powered pump birdbath, is that once the first one is finished, making the second or third one just gets easier. It could even be a fantastic gift for a close friend or newly wed.
Mail this post10 Easy James Bond Theme Party Ideas
August 22, 2009 by Mario Del Sol
Filed under Experts
So you’re thinking of throwing a party? Instead of making it an every day run of the mill party, why not make it a theme party? And why not make it a James Bond party theme?
Studies have repeatedly shown that theme parties are enjoyed much more than normal parties and are remembered in a better light. So consider a Bond party with the following James Bond party theme ideas:
1. Decide early on if you are going for a particular James Bond movie, characters or an open Bond theme. Perhaps you could have a casino theme such as in Casino Royale?
2. For costumes, the ladies will thank you for the chance to dress up as glamorously as they like. They could also go for a Miss Goodnight, Jinx or Pussy Galore look.
3. For the guys, this is going to be great! Expect to see many black tie Sean Connery lookalikes. Also, if you have any Asian friends, suggest that they come as the evil Oddjob complete with top hat.
4. Consider hiring a Russian security guard to check your guests for concealed weapons at the entrance.
5. Get yourself a long red carpet. Have it stretch from the entrance up to the bar. Your guests could then be offered a Martini, shaken not stirred!
6. Whether you are having a casino or not, get some roulette wheels, poker tables, chips and cards for decorations.
7. Get other Bond merchandise and paraphernalia such as Walther PPK’s. If you have a budget, hire an Austin Martin to park in the driveway.
8. You can get the best of Bond theme tune music to play at your party. It’s available on CD!
9. For food, you should have finger buffets, but very impressive finger buffets. Bond is after all used to the best! Consider hiring a waiter for the occasion if its in your budget.
10. Drinks should of course be Martini…shaken not stirred. I would also get in plenty of champagne.

Surely you have made mistakes that contributed to the breakup of the relationship. You should face the reality that you made mistakes also. The truth is that the mistakes that are committed by the individual to make solutions for it and make an apology is necessary to be able to make up.
When deciding to really get back with an ex, both of you must face the issue of what went wrong with your relationship. You must also remember your contributions that led to the breakup. Don’t be upset of getting more mistakes than your ex, we all makes mistakes anyway. What are more relevant are the actions to correct these mistakes.
So sit down on your own and take some time to go through what happened and what were the issues that led up to what happened. Don’t concern yourself too much with what you see as your ex’s mistakes, leave that for the future. Only concern yourself right now with what you can influence.
You may ask yourself if your mistakes can be forgiven. Do not overwhelm yourself with these thoughts. Thoughts like this makes you worry a lot. There are several couples out there that have come from situations far worse than this but has recovered from it. Do not think that the mistakes you made are unforgivable. The possibilities are endless.
It is important to narrow down the mistakes you’ve made that led to the breakup. Try to point out what happened during that time of making the mistake so that you need to face the characteristics that have contributed to the breakup. This needs to be done so that you will get back with your ex.
Stress can contribute in making you out of character. Stress can happen from work related issues, family issues and personal issues. Try to see if these stresses are connected in some ways that contributed to the mistakes you made. When you face your ex, try to discuss these stress that may have contributed to the breakup. Explain to your ex thoroughly so that you will be understood.
Sometimes there are personal issues that come when mistakes happen. Being selfish and thoughtless are examples of this. This is rooted with the persons attitude and can only be changed with the persons own initiative. It may take time and effort but effective nonetheless.
You will then come to a point wherein you will gain a new perspective on things and how your mistakes have contributed to the breakup. After gaining this new knowledge, you can call your ex then arrange a meeting. Remember to set the meet somewhere neutral and in public also to make both of you less emotional when dealing with intimate subjects.
So, make sure that you stay calm and focused on what you want to say. Apologize and ask for forgiveness and then listen carefully to what your ex has to say.

A simple way to win back love is to use your head not your heart. That is the secret to make love come back to you.
It is really simple. Your heart tells you that you need to stop everything you are doing and to chase your ex around town and force them to listen to your emotions whether they like it or not. Your heart is conditioning you that when your ex has listened to your sympathetic emotions, your ex will let the breakup slip away from their heart and mind. That is certainly wrong.
What the head talks to you is to keep your cool and make a line that separates you from your ex. Your heart may say it is wrong but listening to your head can give its benefits. Your head will make you see to it that you have adequate time to rest your emotions by being away from the source of emotional stress and that would be your ex.
You have to leave them alone. Do not try to communicate with them through phone calls, do not bump into them as if it was an accident and do not even send love letters. To state it simply, cut off any communication with them.
By contacting them, you’re making yourself appear desperate, a pain in the butt and someone that no right minded person would even want to be around never mind consider dating again. Like a diamond that increases in value the rarer it is, where your ex is concerned, aim to be rare! Let your ex wonder where you are and why they haven’t heard from you and just like that they will want to hear from you and see you.
If it became a habit for you to call your ex whenever a problem arises, you will have to solve the problem with family and friends or you may do it yourself.
When you solve a problem by yourself, you are increasing your self confidence. With increased self confidence comes the aura of being independent. Your ex will surely be amazed to find out of how you were able to cope up on the emotional turmoil.
The secret to win your love back again is to be rational and to be calm. Your ex will be ready when they are ready so prepare yourself also. The emotions within you are what makes the love burn but when these emotions are not controlled then there will be problems to be dealt with. Try to control them and use your mind. Your mind is there for a reason.

August 21, 2009 by Mariko Conisuellian

As we all know, we are in the middle of a huge economic downturn and lots of people are in debt with jobs that are by no means secure, and as a result, many couples are having to plan their weddings with a limited budget.
In the last ten years or so, stag weekends or even weeks have become commonplace, although in the last 6 months, people have started to go old-school in that respect. Due to the recession, people are obviously having to clamp down on their spending and so are having to shorten or cut out unessential luxuries all together.
Instead of weekends abroad, it is becoming increasingly popular to spend activity weekends in the UK. You can arrange multi activity days or weekends for far less than a foreign trip. Typically you can have a high quality days activities for 60 – 80 per person, which in many ways will be more memorable than a longer foreign break.
Another main advantage that UK stag parties have is that you will find more people are able to participate as the financial prospect of going abroad may put many people off, and so with more people taking part, the event is sure to be more memorable than it may have been otherwise.
Activities like karting, golf, indoor sky diving, indoor skiing, off road driving, quad bikes, archery and clay pigeon shooting are ideal for an eventful stag day / weekend. A good venue will organise all of the events for you, usually as well as a place to stay, removing a lot of pressure from the shoulders of the best man, while appearing as though he has put in an enormous amount of effort.
You should try to include as broad a range of activities as possible in your stag day or weekend as there will undoubtedly be a wide range of people attending and so a wide range of preferences. Including various activities that vary in physical input is a good way to ensure that everyone has a good time.
Adding a competitive element into the day or weekend will make the weekend more memorable and enjoyable because it will feel like the activities have a point. Including small prizes for the winners at the end is a good idea as well.
