What to Know About Printing Glossary

Digital - this is the least expensive method which can be done at home with your PC or by a retailer. It looks best on smooth paper.

Offset - generally more versatile than digital because you can use wider variety of papers. Also flat and affordable.

Thermography - mimics the look of engraving (a popular method) but much cheaper, since letters are created on top of the paper rather than pressed in.

Letterpress - letters are pressed into the paper for a vintage, artisanal look; but expensive.

Engraving - this is a pricey method. A metal plate is incised and inked; transferring it to paper creates raised letters. This is typically reserved for very formal weddings.

Mike's Place

Guest post of the week by Brittany Booker

Mike and I moved in last year, and it was quite the transformation turning this place from a bachelor pad into a habitable home for me. It was all chrome and black leather and it was just far too modern for my taste, and he barely had a thing in his kitchen! The first order of business was to repaint all the red walls since they didn’t exactly go with my stuff, then find a security site where I could get an alarm system since Mike travels and I’m home alone a lot. Now that I’ve got some new furniture and window treatments in here it looks much better – than goodness for Pottery Barn! Mike says he likes the new look, too, and it’s finally suitable for a family. We’re planning on getting married sometime next year which makes me feel good about putting all this work into a place we can call our own. It feels good finally having the house the way I’ve always envisioned it, even if that’s not the way Mike did!

Your Gardening Comfort

Oh yes! You love gardening but it can be a pain in the back, neck or legs! But a simple change of gear can help reduce the stress on your body. Check the following tips:

Protect your hands by wearing the right gloves to avoid calluses and blisters. Choose heavy leather ones for raking. For more dexterous work, use a fitted neoprene pair with padding to reduce friction.

Look for long-handled loppers with cushioned grips for trimming bushes and branches, to absorb pressure and a ratcheting gear just below the blade that multiplies force, making cutting easier.

Try to use a foam kneeler or pads that slip right over your pants to cushion your joints from the hard ground while you plant or weed.
For tasks requiring frequent, repetitive motion, such as digging a small hole, go for tools with rubberized, oversize handles you can hold easily.

Step Up & Get Noticed On The Job

If you have an eagerness to take work challenges in your job, it means you're showing drive and commitment.
If you're that person who always love challenges, here are good ways on tips for requesting more responsibility:

Save everyone's time by writing a specific request in a brief, but focused email, then your boss can get back to you at his own leisure. (Bosses are busy, so take note.)
Always be ready for on-the-spot opportunities to ask for more responsibility.
An example would be;-if the team is discussing a new project in a meeting and if it seems appropriate, raise your hand and volunteer to jump on board.

Most supervisors know that workers ask for challenges to get a promotion or a raise, but you can clarify your boss how your request will make his/her life easier.

Bosses prize the loyalty to workers who ask to get involved on tasks no one else wanted to work on. When better projects arise, you'll be the one they turn to.

I am not actually an athlete, but I can see a lot of good features in Soffee's products. I can also include my husband getting one. It's just perfect that he needs boxer shorts, too. These would be worthy to buy.

Ways Parents Can Help Their Kids To Success

Look for a great school where teachers are engaged with students and parents can stay involved. Get to know their teachers and don't hesitate to discuss concerns.

Every child has a legal right to a quality education, so be willing to fight for your rights.

Reading with your kids promotes their intellectual development. If finances are issues, your local library is free.

Emphasize effort and understanding about homework. Strive to be with your child to watch him in a basketball practice or sit with your child over homework at least for an hour.

Keep focused on your child's academics, but make sure you are as well supporting your child's dreams and not your dreams for your child.

Go together for fun at zoos, museums and aquariums.

Support their learning by searching for extracurricular classes and programs that interest them. You might also want to talk to your bank or financial advisers about tax-free college funds.

If you tell them you value education, then get one. Research shows that the further moms go in school, the further their children go.

Children respond better to steady, positive vocabulary and clear direction and nobody responds well to constantly being berated.

Education is a process. If your kids are curious & disciplined about learning, it's because you made them that way. Ask the hard questions, educate yourself and stay committed to your child's success.

It should always be a smart thing to learn the basics about invitations.

What: The standard set includes an invitation, a reception card (if party and ceremony are in separate places), an RSVP card or postcard and outer envelopes. Inner envelopes are also included with formal engraved invitations.

Where: Order personally or online. While ordering online may cost less, you'll be missing the instant tactile preview.

How Many: Get enough invites for the wedding party, your parents, and the "B" list. Save for 25 extra envelopes; it's common to make address mistakes.
