  • Secondly, they should feature padded collars, breathable linings and cushioned insoles to provide added comfort to the foot. These features even assure maximum support and stability by maintaining proper movement of the foot.
  • Thirdly, they should feature breathable uppers for free ventilation. This will enable air flow inside and outside the footwear keeping your feet stay cool and comfy inside them.

Reading Time: The Importance of Teaching Your Child to Read

Did you ever sit down and just think what the world would be like for you if you did not know how to read? Many of us are so fortunate to have been taught how to read that we don't even realize how much reading we do a day. Perhaps we may be reading a novel, or maybe it is just street signs and a restaurant menu. Just imagine if you were not able to, what would your world be like? Now ask yourself, would you want that for your child?

According to Grim Illiteracy Statistics, there are over 42 million American adults that can not read. You do not want your child to become one of them. Try and teach your child from very early on the gift of reading. You can do this by taking a little bit of time each day to set aside some special time to read with your child. No matter how young or old they are they are, it is good to get them into the habit of reading.

Reading stimulates the mind and encourages your child to use their imagination. It also helps your child develop listening skills. As you read to your child, show them the pictures and point to the words. Your child will learn to associate the pictures with the words. As your child grows and develops they will eventually point to the pictures and turn the pages. By you setting aside some time to read to your child, it makes this a pleasant experience for your child. Then, as your child gets older, they will want to read on their own and know the joy of reading.

Here are a few tips for reading with your child:

1- Set aside some a special reading time daily
2- Find a book that will grab their attention
3- Find an area that is comfortable with no distractions
4- Make book time a fun time
5- Be sure to be patient with your child
6- When you read, read slowly, show emotion
7- Point to the pictures and explain what the picture is
8- Encourage your child to read by giving them cloth or board books to play with.

A book is the greatest gift of all. Reading helps your child develop their imagination, creativity, good listening skills and communication. You do not want your child to grow up to be one of them 42 million Americans that can not read. Prevent this by making reading a habit. Encourage reading from early on in your child's life.

Color and Style

The first step in choosing your custom fit tailored dress shirt is to select a color and style of shirt. If you are a more conservative dresser or work in a strict office environment, traditional colors such as light blue and white will be your best bet. Typically conservative dress shirts are solid in color as well: no stripes or patterns. A standard collar will also be preferred.

If you are looking to be a bit more stylish with your shirt, you might consider a brighter color. Spread collars, which are wider at the bottom than standard collars, are also in fashion, especially for younger workers.

Ensuring Quality

When seeking a high quality dress shirt, there are a few things you want to check. First is the ply count. A high quality shirt will have a two ply count, and will have this information on the label. Lesser quality shirts will have only a one ply count, and this information will usually not be made available on the label. Two-ply fabric shirts are stronger, last longer, are softer and more comfortable and will wrinkle less than one-ply shirts.

Seams should also be checked. If the shirt is high quality, only a single line of stitching will be visible on the seam running down the side of the shirt. Most shirts have two lines of stitching on the side seam.

To ensure your custom fit tailored shirt is of high quality, check the stitching on the buttons. In a high quality shirt buttons will be sewn on with a cross-locked stitch to make it more difficult for them to fall off.

Checking the Fit

Once you have chosen the color and style of shirt that you want, it is time to check the fit. The primary areas which you need to examine when selecting a custom fit tailored dress shirt are the collar, arms and wrists.

When the shirt is on, you should be able to put two fingers between your neck and the collar. For a new shirt, the collar should actually be about half a size bigger than you need. It takes about 9 washings for a dress shirt to shrink to its smaller size. If you have selected to small a collar, it will choke you when you try to put it on after it has finished shrinking.

Shirt sleeves should be long enough so that when your arms are fully extended, the sleeves do not ride up your wrists. The cuffs should also be tight around your wrist so they do not slide down your hands when arms are not extended. If you are able to get your hands through the cuffs even if they are buttoned, then the cuffs are not tight enough.

While wearing your shirt it should feel comfortable across your entire body. Make sure that it doesn't get tight around shoulders, chest or waist. Check the buttons to make sure they are not too far apart leaving gaps and exposing your chest or waist.

http://www.DesignMyShirtOnline.com offers quality custom fit dress shirts at an affordable price worldwide. With hundreds of fabric styles and various customization options, you can create the tailored shirt that meets your needs. They are dedication to exceptional customer service ensuring tailored shirts are delivered on time, every time.

Go Gaga Slide Bag

If you are tired of working for someone else, or just want to generate some extra money, you may want to consider starting a small home business. There are lots of things that you could do, but three stand out as the quickest and the easiest.

The first is online auctions, anyone who has ever had a yard sale, understands that old adage "one man's trash is another man's treasure". Anything that you no longer want or need can be sold in an online auction. And you never know, that old item that you thought had no value, could generate big bucks.

The second small home business idea is crafting, anything that you make yourself that has good craftsmanship is of value to consumers. Some customers like to purchase handmade items and then claim them as their own work when they are gifting friends and family. Perhaps they promised to make the item themselves, but didn't have time, purchasing from you solves their problem. And they are usually willing to pay a competitive price. Selling you items online, either through auctions or your own website, gives you access to customers across the country.

The third small home business idea is selling plants. Currently there is a great interest in heirloom seeds and plants. People cannot always get a tomato or petunia plant like the one that Grandpa grew, in their local garden center. But if you offer them either locally or online, people will adore you and they will be repeat customers.

If you need money now, like I mean in the next hour, try what I did. I am making more money now than in my old business and you can too, read the amazing, true story, in the link below. When I joined I was skeptical for just ten seconds before I realized what this was. I was smiling from ear to ear and you will too.

It can be tough finding the perfect gift for a work colleague or friend, but there's one thing that all executives need, and also usually enjoy receiving: good quality silk ties! The beauty of buying ties as a corporate gift is that while most executive gifts tend to be quite clinical and boring, a new tie can really reflect the personality of the individual you are buying for. Unlike posh pens or executive toys, a well chosen and high quality silk tie will be uniquely original and stand out from other gifts.

Another great reason to buy ties as executive or corporate gift is their simple practicality; few corporate gifts are quite as practical as a high quality silk tie. Ties won't just get lost amongst the desk clutter like an executive toy, and it's far easier to buy ties which will actually get used than it is to find a good quality briefcase or pen.

Be sure to purchase silk ties however, as they have a higher quality and finish than ties made from cheaper materials. The higher quality will also help the ties stand out from other gimmicky executive gifts which might look expensive, but are usually quite cheap! After all, you are buying a corporate gift for long term repeated use, so high quality silk ties will make their initial expense back while other ties are falling to pieces!

There are also an almost unlimited range of designs available for ties. If you buy silk ties, these tend to feature designs by extremely creative designers, which allows them to be both exciting and vivid but also suitable as corporate gifts. Any executive gift should take into account the workplace environment of the individual that the gift is for, and while this can be a little trickier with ties than it is with more conventional executive gifts, a well chosen silk tie will be warmly received and has a clear value above other less individualised executive gifts.

One of the most beautiful ways to improve the overall look of your outdoor home dcor is to create a garden. Gardening is an art in itself. There are many kinds of gardening from the very simplistic to the more challenging gardens to design. However, even very simple gardens add a beautiful touch for your home.

Why a Garden?

Gardening is a do it yourself kind of outdoor dcor, but it is, in many ways unlike building a porch, designing a tree house, or creating outdoor furniture.

Even if you do not have a full garden, you can add a beautiful touch of outdoor dcor just by planting a few flowers around the outside of a tree, for example. There are many ways to brighten up your outdoor dcor. Natural outdoor dcor is a one of the most beautiful types of outdoor dcor there are. And one of the most prominent of these is the art of gardening. A garden creates an ambiance unlike any other, because of the welcoming allure and fragrance that plants and flowers provide.

Flowers are the basis of garden dcor:

The kinds of gardens that seem the most decorative, elegant or pleasantly quaint are made so by the types of flowers and the style of landscaping used to create them. There are several types of flowers that are especially attractive when in season. And unless you are growing a vegetable garden, you care about the overall look of your garden.

Of course, you want your property to be as beautiful as possible, right? And among the very best ways to accentuate the beauty of your home from the outside are the many colors and scents of the flowers themselves. Here are some very popular kinds of flowers for your annual planting:

Geraniums:

A is a spreading perennial, which blooms in loose spikes and will add a touch of beauty to any outdoor dcor.

Primrose:

Primrose seeds, which are often sown by nature, like a present, a stunning surprise for your garden.

Dwarf Japanese Iris:

The Dwarf Japanese Iris is a beautiful flower, however it really does take a lot of attentiveness to keep healthy. In the long run, though, you end up with outdoor dcor that is fragrant peaceful and stunning to look upon.

The yellow trillium as part of your floral outdoor dcor is a wonderful flower with three mottled leaves and a flower top each stalk.

Perennials:

The perennials that bloom early, such as those above, paint the garden with flowers, then subside modestly to green or go dormant while waiting for the next spring. Planting perennials is one way to add an annual splash of color to your outdoor dcor. Here are a couple more ideas:

Azaleas:

Azaleas are early-blooming flowers that provide your garden with a delicate sense of personal style and can certainly serve as outdoor dcor for your home.

Variegated euonymus:

Variegated euonymus can serve as a floral outdoor dcor that act as a ground cover, and brightens up the shade.

Make sure to note that the required care for every kind of flower variesso be sure you are planting your flowers in places where they will thrive. For example: I needed to fill a rather large bed that is almost always in direct sunlight. However, I did not want to use the same type of flower or even a couple of kinds in the bed, the bed being as large as it is. Therefore, I found a good selection of flowers that want direct sunlight to turn my flowerbed into a gorgeous display of colors and scents.

I used the following flowers:

There are several kinds of daisy osteospermum hybrids that have been developed so that you can choose the perfect colors for your garden. Of these I chose to use a pale yellowish color that Proven Winners calls lemon symphony, I also chose Soprano Purple, and Melon Symphony (which is a lovely pale peachy/melon color). In addition I chose several colors of petunia (seven colors approximately) from pirouette purple (a lovely combination of dark purple and white) to neon pink-colored petunias, to lilac colored petunias and more. I chose alyssums, which are very beautiful and fill out the bed nicely, they also remain very small, so you want to plant your alyssums toward the front of the bed. I also added a dark purple osteospermum, just as a last thought. These sun-loving flowers go great togetherand there are plenty morejust be sure to read the tags and see what kind of care your flowers will require before making your final decision.
