School is in Session--Tips From Consolidated Credit Make Costs Less Burdensome Now and Throughout the Year
(ContentDesk) August 24, 2005 -- To avoid your budget being blown throughout the year, prepare a checklist of needed items and establish a budget each time before you go shopping. "A budget enables parents to set a good financial example for children.
It's an excellent opportunity to teach young people about the importance of paying attention to prices, controlling spending and knowing the difference between needs and wants", says Howard Dvorkin, founder of Consolidated Credit Counseling Services, Inc. Shopping advice: 1) Let kids pay for some items with their own money. If your fashion-conscious son or daughter wants a pair of pricey designer jeans, for example, you might offer to pay up to the cost of a less expensive non-brand pair and let him or her pay the difference.
2) Consider teaming-up with another family and buy
items needed in bulk quantities.
By shopping at warehouse discount stores, two or even three families can divide purchases
- along with the costs. 3) Budget for the unexpected or the forgotten.
In addition to the usual clothing, textbooks and desk supplies; the return to school can bring other assorted expenses - like cafeteria lunches or groceries for brown bag lunches, haircuts, PTA dues and gym uniforms.Don't buy for the sake of buying.
If you can reuse school supplies from the previous year, by all means do so.4) Use tried-and-true money saving methods.
Shop when stores are having sales. Choose generic or store labels over designer names. See www.ConsolidatedCredit.org for more savings and shopping advice..

How to Avoid a Flip-Flop Flap in the Office
New Hope, PA (ContentDesk) July 30, 2005 -- By now most of the world has heard about the "flip-flop flap" -- the controversy the Northwestern University women's lacrosse team caused when they wore flip-flops to their photo-op with President Bush. However, if flip-flops are a no-no at the White House, does that mean that they are a yes-yes at the office?"When I was a child, flip-flops were attire for going to the beach or the pool only," says certified etiquette and protocol consultant Leah Ingram. "You might get away with wearing them to the mall or the movies but you would never enter a house of worship or a government office wearing them. Unfortunately, flip-flops have become so ubiquitous that frequently I see young women wearing them to church, to special occasions, to the office and now, as the national media has recorded, to the White House."With Labor Day right around the corner and the official end of summer, workers everywhere could use a fashion refresher from a good manners...

A Mass Customization Revolution
A Mass Customization RevolutionThe Industrial RevolutionThe great social and economic changes due to the introduction of machine and power tools and large-scale industrial production began in 1760. Through the first 70 years of this century, the US was the industrial giant of the world. In 1960 the words "Made in Japan" was thought to be a joke. By 1980, those same words had become the standard for manufacturing. In 1985, U.S.
manufacturing was in a deep depression. Products were too costly, of poor quality and not innovative enough.Now, again, America is ranked No. 1 in manufacturing (World Competitiveness Report, 1996).Mass customizationAmerica's No. 1 standing is primarily due to the manufacturing revolution that has been under way since 1985. This quiet revolution is built on the unsurpassed innovative spirit of the American people.
Innovation is one of the qualities upon which America is founded. American manufactures are the world's leading innovators. The right combination...

Sell Your Bu** Off
Sell Your Butt Off================================================ On a recent television show "Girls Behaving Badly" a bewildered
public was caught on tape staring at the backsides of 4 women who were "fighting back" at those men who allow their pants to fall below their butt and show the famous "dent".
These 4 women paraded their behinds (their end results) around the streets of New York City. These ladies bent over provacatively to pick up imaginary dimes from the sidewalk.
The ladies did a slow roll downward to get a newspaper from a machine.
Exposing their butt thonged cheeks was the main goal of the exercise.
The reaction from onlookers ranged from outrage( mostly ladies)to sly smiles of amusement, smirks, and quick furtive glances from the men.
Ninety-eight percent of the people who glanced, snickered, or made comments about these ladies' exposed butts lookedfor 20 seconds or more. Commercials on TV don't get this...

Top 10 Fashion Mistakes: What NOT to Wear
Image includes everything that is in your appearance ? not simply how well you put your makeup on and style your hair, and not just how expensive is your bag, but also how well you put all these things together. Sometimes a tiny flaw can ruin the carefully concocted look. Don't let that happen to you. Fashion Mistake #1. Skirt too skimpy.
The skirt should not rise up to mid-thigh when you sit down. If you have to pull it down constantly then maybe it is too short or too tight. Make it a rule of thumb to keep the skirt for daytime attires maximum an inch above the knee. Fashion Mistake #2. Silly, not cute.
Avoid frilly blouses when you don't party. It's a popular belief that a frilly blouse will make you look feminine and romantic; instead it makes you look unprofessional and frivolous. Choose a blouse in ivory or white ? it goes well with everything. Fashion Mistake #3. Bare legs in winter.
Leave it to chic Mahnattanites in Sex And The City to show off bare legs...
