Real Estate Listings Style Terms and Their Meanings

May 31st, 2009

Whether you’re buying or selling, reading real estate listings ads can be confusing. Here are explanations of more style terms used in real estate ads.

“Split Foyer” style: A home entered by a foyer with a half flight of stairs up to the upper level (where the living spaces and one or more bedrooms are usually located) and a half flight of stairs to the lower level (typically housing the family room and additional bedrooms).

“Tri-Level” style: A home with three levels; it is typically entered on the middle level and has half flights of stairs to the highest and lowest levels. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are usually on the middle level. The bedrooms are usually on the highest level. The lowest level may be unfinished or have family room, laundry, and perhaps a garage located there.

“Contemporary” style: These vary greatly, but none looks as if it could have been built prior to 1900. Some are almost entirely of glass. Some are almost entirely under ground. Roofs can be gable (slants down on each side of a ridge line creating triangles of space at each end), shed (slants in one direction only from high on one side to low on the other), flat, or sod (grass covered) for that matter. Often several roof styles are incorporated in one home. Energy saving or indoor-outdoor connectedness tend to be designing motives. Simplicity, straight lines, and open spaces are hallmarks. Decks, patios, and terraces are frequently featured and are often constructed of the same materials used indoors.

“Victorian” style: This style is based on houses built during Queen Victoria’s reign and for a while afterwards. They are usually at least two stories tall and maybe more. They are embellished with a variety of things including porches, turrets, towers with conical roofs, pediments with fanciful shapes over doors and windows, windows to the floor with perhaps only one sheet of glass per sash. And do think “gingerbread” or wood fashioned into intricate shapes for gable ends, places where porch posts reach the ceiling, at stair landings, and so on. Modern builders usually pare this style down because of the expense, but even the most recently built examples can be rather fanciful.

When looking at homes, you’ll find particular styles appeal to you. Once you identify the styles, you can narrow your search for the perfect home.

Coach Carly Indigo

May 31st, 2009

Let me introduce you to Carly. Carly lives larger than life. She is trim and light. Really she is pretty cool! The first Coach was originally designed after a brown paper bag, did you know that? Since 1962, inspiration for Coach’s handbags and purses has not changed much.

Today now more then ever, we need functionality as well as practicality and a purse that is large enough for us to discretely stow away what we cannot leave behind. Besides the ordinary everyday items such as a cell phone, wallet and keys, there are some things that we need on occasion but don’t want to expose. So what does a girl want but not want to show?

Coach Bag Carly Signature secretly wants to spend the weekend hanging out with Mr. Handsome but doesn’t want him to know she already invited herself over with her weekend tote bag all ready to go. Having a weekend bag ready in the trunk of your car doesn’t really scream romance. It’s just tacky to excuse yourself to your car to pick up the already premeditated weekend bag. It is one thing to be prepared, but another to seem eager don’t you think?

Coach Tonal C Carly isn’t like that. She is lightweight enough so that you can store your unmentionables and necessities without looking like you are ready to move in with him. The mysteries of a woman are held securely zipped inside the Large Carly Leather Signature purse, handbag or tote.

Could you imagine being out on a date with a tote that doesn’t zip? Oops, your bag tips over and your unmentionables are laid out for the world to see. How embarrassing! He looks at you, sees your pajamas and toothbrush and suddenly he remembers he was suppose to meet Mr. Guys-guy down at O’Connell’s for his birthday. Don’t be cheap, be discrete or you will send Mr. Handsome running to Mr. Guys-guy all because you didn’t want to spend a little extra money on a Coach. We don’t always know what life will bring so being prepared is being practical without looking like Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy) from The Breakfast Club.

How many ways can you mess around? Two. You can clean up the mess around the floor after having the personal items come falling out of your bag, or you and Mr. Handsome can spend the weekend clearing up the misunderstanding. I wouldn’t want to waste a weekend explaining to Mr. Handsome that you only wanted to be prepared. What would you rather do?

Besides Coach’s Carly Large handbags serving our greater purpose, the Coach Carly Large Signature comes in many different colors, patchwork art designs and canvases. The classic Coach Carly large Authentic Khaki/Black Purse Handbag and Signature Denim patent trim Carly Large are my personal favorites. I love the size and durability of these bags as well as the crinkle patent leather trim and signature lightweight fabric.

The patchwork and canvas designs on the Carly Large are made with either Coach’s patent leather or canvas materials ranging from holiday styles coordinated in warm browns, oranges, reds and black, to summer styles in blue, pink and white as well as tradition brown and black.

Coach Carly Handbag is more than a lady, she is a Coach!

The search begins

May 31st, 2009

I was wandering around the internet today looking for somewhere to buy life assurance when I came across a site called Brokers Online. Brokers Online claim to be one of the largest money comparison sites so I thought I’d give them a try - after all I didn’t have to take up any quotations I received from them (the price offered by my broker was huge) and it could even save me a few quid.

After submitting my details for the life insurance quote I received a call form an extremely professional company called Life Search. They went through all the details with me on the telephone and I was even acceptedthere and then. They managed to save me a whopping £15 p/m taking my monthly premiums down to £27.93. RESULT!

Now at the time I was only looking for life insurance to protect my family but after reading more on the site I was pleasantly surprised to find that they offered loans as well.

The products they offered ranged from life insurance and critical illness insurance to mortgages loans and even help with debt problems.

Whilst I was on the site I got myself a home insurance quote ( the price was so good I bought it right there online ) and applied for loans ( I have been putting off that new car for the last twelve months).

Take a look you wont regret it!

Where To Find An Education Directory

May 30th, 2009

If you are searching online for schools and colleges finding a good education directory can be difficult. Many of the online resources are very similar in nature making it tough to find what you are looking for. For instant many of the listing show the same information, so if you did not find what you were looking for in the first directory, you many not find it in many of the subsequent directories.

For instance if you are searching for nursing schools because you recently read you may be able to become a nurse more quickly then you thought possible, that may have made you begin your online search only to realize there are some bad sites online. Do not worry as you can find good websites, sometimes is just takes a little more work. So push on and keep looking until you find one that works for you.

Also remember to compare different sites and directories as some have search abilities while others are true directories with listings only. So depending on which method works best for you may help you to decide on the site to choose.

If you know of the name of an educational institution you can always just search for that name as well. But sometimes using a specific directory made only for education resources works much better. Another think to keep in mind if you do find a good site is to have another browser window open where you can copy and paste different schools to search on in another window if that works better for you so you do not lose the good site you found.

Hawaii Travel Packages: How To Find Best Bargains

May 30th, 2009

If you are thinking about Hawaii travel packages, it is likely that warm tropical seas, tall palm trees and white sandy shorelines will all cross your mind. Hawaii is the best destination for Americans who long for a tropical vacation without having to leave their country.

Hawaii’s average temperature rarely changes all year around. Having only two seasons (winter and summer) the average daily temperature changes only slightly from month to month ranging from 78 degrees in the winter to 85 degrees in the summer. One of the greatest phenomenons relating to the weather in Hawaii has to do with rainfall. While it rains almost daily high in the mountains, rain is almost always localized. So, while it may be raining wherever you are, you can almost always find a sunny spot on the beach.

If you’re heading to Hawaii for a vacation, you need to decide which of the several islands you might want to see. Your search may turn up a Kauai vacation package, possibly a Maui vacation packages, and more than one Big Island of Hawaii vacation package. Inter-island travel is generally done by small planes, so please be sure the price is figured into your package.

Whichever package you opt for, make sure you research the activities available on the island you visit. Ask acquaintances who have visited what they liked most, or use the Internet, or ask your travel agent. Their personal experiences will help you identify what your interests are, but also things you might want to do differently than they did. Every trip is different, so find the right combination for you.

There are small towns along the shorelines of the Big Island of Hawaii that can be fun for those wanting to get away from the commercial beach resorts. You will not find information on these non-tourist attractions in Hawaii travel packages brochures.

Helicopter rides, para-sailing, hiking, guided tours, and surfing lessons, are all examples of great opportunities you will have in Hawaii. The extra cost of these activities will be well worth the memories created while you enjoy them with your family. You should ask your travel agent about these while you are considering their Hawaii travel packages.

Is it Possible to Find a Heck of a New or Used Car Deal at Online Car or Truck Sales

May 29th, 2009

I have never been comfortable with the ritual of buying a vehicle. It was of little difference if it was a new car purchase or a used car purchase. Definitely, I had a good time strolling around the car lot on a Sunday afternoon and looking at the cars. But, when it came to dealing with the sales person and haggling on a car or truck in person I am not a fan of it. Then I had my first encounter with Internet car auctions. I soon realized that there were lots of reasons to like these Internet auto auctions.

The first thing is the sheer numbers of vehicles. There are a very large number of chances to buy a car used and also many new automobiles to purchase. Say you are in the market for a certain model and color and you can’t find one at your nearby vehicle dealer. You can log on to an Internet auction site and perhaps locate a wide selection of cars of the make and color in the market for. online car auctions have many more vehicles than you are likely to get at your local vehicle dealer.

The most attractive perk of online auto auctions is the final price of your car. You can capture some very sweet deals if you wait for them. In fact, you may easily capture really hefty buys when you look to buy repo cars No matter whether they are just plain used automobiles or used automobiles from bank repossession you should find yourself shelling out a lot less than you would expect to outside an online auction. You would do well to consider repo automobiles due to the fact that creditors only want to rid themselves of the vehicles and can’t afford to hold out for a premium price. I have ended up with a number of amazingly low price tags on repossessed vehicles.

The main drawback of online automobile auctions is that a lot of the listings won’t be close to you. You can modify your search by your postal code, but you restricts the selection of available bargains. If you have a lot of buddies throughout the country you could manage to arrange a deal to have them investigate the vehicle in their vicinity for you. You can get unbiased value determinations and auto title search reports before you bid on that future car or truck.

At the time you are looking for a vehicle you will want to investigate automobile auctions during the selection process. In the event you do not purchase your car in the online auctions you will have a chance to gauge what is out there and you can have a comparison to the vehicles your hometown lots or newspapers have for sale.

Swimwear Over The Ages

May 29th, 2009

 

Introduction

Swimwear is the term used for garments designated for swimming and beach wear. It has gradually evolved over the years from the bulky garments used to completely cover the body into the selection of brief pieces of fabric arranged to expose as much as possible of the body.

Finding the right sort of swimwear is not always that easy especially if you do not have a large budget. There is an enormous variety of body sizes and shapes for both men and women and correspondingly there are an enormous variety of outfits ranging from the very cheap to the very expensive.

Fashion Dictates

If it was just a case of having a bathing costume to wear when going swimming and replacing it when it had worn out, life would be relatively easy. But there is the matter of fashion. Every year the makers come up with a different style so that the previous year’s model suddenly looks old fashioned and we feel compelled to buy a new one. As purchasers we are confronted with one piece swimsuits, two piece swimwear, some with long tops, some with skimpy tops, high leg cut, high waist cut, different cup sizes, in a variety of fabrics, colours, patterns, two tone and so on. The choice is endless.

History of Swimwear

The earliest recorded bathing costume was in 350 BC in Greece which was a toga-like garment for bathing. During the 18th century people visited spa resorts for their health where they spent time in the spa waters. Naturally they needed something proper to wear, other than their day clothes, when they were engaged in public bathing. Later the recreation of beach bathing demanded a specially made outfit to maintain decorum and decency, so the bathing suit was developed.

Initially the swimwear was rather like ordinary daywear, and the dresses worn by the women sometimes had lead weights sewn into the hems to prevent the skirts from floating up. As the expansion of the railways enabled the masses to spend time at the seaside a more practical type of outfit was required. By the early 1900’s the swimsuit consisted of bloomers with black stocking and shoes, and the top was like a jacket belted at the waist. Swimming was considered suitable for men, while women were assisted into the water for a short dip.

Over the century attitudes changed and swimming became an Olympic sport for both men and women. Gradually the swimming costume changed to adopt short capped sleeves and more ankle was exposed beneath the bloomers. As women became more active in the water the swimming costume needed to be less cumbersome so the neckline was lowered and the tops became sleeveless. Eventually the Princess cut was introduced which consisted of the trousers attached to a blouse in one piece.

In 1909 Annette Kellerman, the Australian swimmer, film star and author, made history when she was credited for wearing the first 1 piece ladies swimwear suit resulting in her arrest for indecency, however by 1910 Annette Kellermans became the new accepted ladies swimwear.

From then on the swimsuits became lighter and briefer. By the 1920’s the women wore figure hugging tank suits made from wool Jersey and by 1928 they had evolved into the swimsuit we would recognise today. In the 1930’s cotton was introduced for bathing suits sometimes with little overskirts to conceal bulky thighs, but film stars wore fashionable figure hugging costumes with higher cut legs sealing the fate of the fashionable swimwear.

The corset manufacturers in the 1940’s saw that women with less than perfect figures needed swimsuits to hide or control the bulges, so seeing a gap in the market they produced costumes which had control panels for the tummy and bra cups and bones to give support to the bust. Using the techniques applied in corset making they introduced the stretch factor to bathing costumes so that they were more flattering than ever before.

With the development of synthetic fabrics, Nylon and Lycra became the fabric of choice for swimwear because of their stretch properties. This meant that the costume could be pulled on without openings or fastenings and gave a firmer cleaner line to the figure. Women continued to wear all in one swimsuits until the 1950’s when the bikini became popular.

Leisure Swimming or Sunbathing

Although certain items are called swimwear, in fact some never get near the water. They are solely for sunbathing which usually means they are as small as possible, just barely covering the essential bits so that the skin gets maximum exposure to the sun and such a design would be classed as a bikini.

Two Piece or Bikinis

Over two thousand years ago early mosaics and pottery from Greece depict what in fact looks like an early version of a bikini. These garments were used by women performers and acrobats and were in two pieces to cover the breasts and the lower part of the body, much like the current style of Bandeau tops. Modern day runners and athletes wear something very similar when competing. Paula Radcliffe when running the Marathon last year, wore a garment almost identical to those worn thousands of years ago!!

The bikini resembles women’s underwear and has been described as a scanty two piece bathing suit. The lower part may be two small triangles attached together with a string tie at either side, or even a thong. The upper part may also be two small triangles attached together with a string tie but arranged in a slightly different order. Louis Reard patented the modern version of the bikini in 1946; his design was similar to the skimpy string 1970’s bikini and it shocked the world when it appeared on French beaches in 1947.

The very first bikini shown in the cinema was in the Bond film Dr No when Ursula Andress rises out of the sea in a white bikini. This created the iconic Bond girl and made her world famous. When being interviewed on television recently she revealed that the bikini had been constructed out of a bra covered with the fabric to give her the required lift of the bosom. This actual bikini sold at auction for £35,000 in 2001.

By the time we had reached the 90’s the desire for designer swimwear bikinis to be so small as to enable a tan over as much of the body as possible.

Ultimately the top part of the bikini was abandoned altogether when topless sunbathing became the norm in some countries and the bottom was just a G-string or thong also called a Tanga. Oliver Saillard the fashion journalist states that the bikini is the most popular female beachwear in the world, and that the emancipation of swimwear is linked to the emancipation of women.

In the 1950’s there was a popular song entitled ‘In My little Itsy Bitsy Yellow Polka Dot Bikini’ that indicated the acceptance of the new style of swimwear. I remember my cousin persuading me to try on a bikini and I felt very exposed but she said how amazing I looked in it because I was so slim.

Although the bikini is now an acceptable garment whatever the size, the one piece swimsuit is still the best for serious swimmers. Some companies are well known for their skill at making swimwear and make all the garments for the Olympic team and other swimming competitions. Now swimwear is available in a wide range of bust sizes and the more expensive makes have control panels for the stomach combined with clever styling to create a good silhouette. Combined with a matching sarong, older ladies may feel more comfortable when walking around the beach area.

Helen Mirren was photographed on holiday in her substantial bikini last summer with the caption commenting on how good she looked for her age and that particular bikini was snapped up from the stores within days. Perhaps the purchasers believed that they could look as good as Helen Mirren in a bikini if they had the same one.

Leg Line

Some two piece bathing suits are cut so that the waist is high and the corresponding leg line is also cut high. I believe the aim is to make the wearer look as though her legs are much longer than they are. However if you have less than the perfect shape for this style it can emphasise large hips so it’s not for all women.

Another fashion style is the tankini where the bottoms look like little shorts and shows the lower curve of the bottom, which is fine if you are young with a nice pert bottom.

An exciting development in swimwear clothing is the tankini such as those available from Ted Baker, Fantasie, Moontide, Freya and Lisa Ho who even produce an underwired design.

The classic bikini style is still as popular as ever though, with the cut of the leg line following the natural crease between the leg and the hip.

The most recent development in fabric is the ‘tan through’ swimwear. This allows the body to tan without exposing the body to the world. Some commentators on this style point to the effects of too much sun on the body and the occurrences of skin cancer of which the evidence indicates an alarming increase. However, the counter argument to that is if you are wearing a bikini anyway then the extra exposure to the sun through the top and bottom garments is hardly going to make much difference.

Conclusion

Swimwear is a term used these days to cover all types of beach wear and swimming gear. It is a bit of a misnomer in that many outfits never see the water and are not used for swimming. However there is a huge range of garments available for the buyer of different styles, sizes and fabrics. The one commonality of course is that everyone wants to look good once they don these garments. The main key to that is to make sure your new swimwear is the right fit and cut, for your body size and shape.

The importance of being properly measured for your swimwear is often overlooked but it is as important as being properly measured for your bra or other underwear, particularly if you do indeed intend to actually swim in your new swimwear! By wearing the right size and style swimwear for your body, will ensure you are really comfortable in it on the beach, in the pool or wherever else you choose to wear it.
