Each way has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let’s start by looking at the traditional long engagement. Around a year is fairly typical, although in some areas, even a two year long engagement would be pretty standard. This is not true in every other country, by the way; brides in Russia, for instance, generally get married very soon after becoming engaged.

The chief advantage of a long engagement is that it allows the bride and her family plenty of time to plan the wedding. Availability of a favorite venue is one of the biggest reasons that couples have long engagements. If you were to become engaged this summer, the chances are that you would have to wait a year or even two to book an open date at one of the top reception sites in your area.

More planning time can have additional benefits. It allows the bride ample time to shop for her dream bridal gown and the perfect veil, tiara, and jewelry to complete her look. It also ensures enough time to have things customized for your wedding, like your bridesmaid gifts, your invitations, or your linens. One huge advantage to having a longer lead time is that it also allows the engaged couple and their families time to save up money to pay for all of these things, as well as to shop around to find the best values on items such as wedding favors and personalized bridesmaid gifts.

A long engagement provides a few additional benefits. If your family is scattered far and wide, you can send out save-the-date cards to allow relatives to book their travel arrangements. For those who are social butterflies, a long pre-wedding period will give you time to savor the engagement parties, bridal showers, and bachelor/bachelorette outings that are part of the fun. There are a few practical concerns that you will have time to address too, such as toning your arms to look great in a strapless wedding gown, or growing out your bangs for the perfect wedding day hairstyle.

The biggest disadvantage to a long engagement is perhaps one of the reasons why some couples prefer a brief one. All that planning and the lengthy delay can take away from the romance and excitement that you feel when you first become engaged. For some couples, the wedding planning process is so stressful, that by the time the day of the wedding rolls around, they are questioning whether or not to even go through with it! If you and your fiance are the spontaneous and passionate types, a quick engagement followed by a trip to Vegas or the city courthouse might be much more your style.

There are other reasons why a short engagement can be the right choice. Certainly, it is preferred when the bride is “in a family way” and is hoping that the trip down the aisle predates the one to the delivery room. Another reason is that weddings that are pulled together more rapidly tend to be smaller, more intimate affairs, which is to the liking of many brides and grooms. One of the biggest drawbacks to a short engagement is fairly obvious: you may have difficulty getting your wedding pulled together with a shorter than average lead time, and you might be forced to compromise on your dream wedding. The other potential disadvantage is more serious; if a short engagement is a part of a whirlwind romance, you might find yourself rushing down the aisle with a virtual stranger.

Both long and short engagements have their potential benefits as well as some drawbacks. As long as you have thought through the consequences of choosing one course of action over another, you should be fine. After all, the engagement and wedding planning process is a very personal and individual experience for each couple; as long as you are both on the same page, you can feel confident that you have made the perfect decision for your own life.

All companies large and small have a budget whether they realize this fact or not. Some budgets consist of what’s left in the bank account at the end of the month. While others rely on how much room they have their credit cards? The size of your budget is not what’s important; it’s how well you execute your plan. Define early what you can afford to set aside monthly and build your plan around these resources.

2. Develop your systems.

By systems I don’t just mean computers, printers and infrastructure, these of course must be in place as well. When I speak of systems I mean a client development system which is focuses on Time management and realistic expectations based on your plan. The initial plans should include short term and long term goals, such as 3 months, 6 months and 1 & 2 year goals.

The goals should be based on the number of clients served or added to your business not necessarily dollars. Dollars are important of course but it’s difficult to determine when they will actually roll in. The number of steps you take or action you complete is something you can determine therefore you can plan and track your success.

3. Take Action.

The action step is the most difficult for many. The action step requires one to move from the comfortable setting of theory into the real world application. Many times what looked terrific on paper just did not work out the way you planned. The key in the action step is to take action and keep moving forward with your plan.

As you begin to take action measure your results and be sensitive to what your suspect or prospect are saying. Refine and adjust as needed but above all else Do not stop! The only way to truly fail is to quit. The measurements you should consider are how many contacts were made, how many suspects turned into prospects and how many new clients obtained? Also give yourself time to refine your skills and improve, what’s difficult today will become second hand and easy in the future. Above all else stick to your plans and keep learning and improving daily, in time the world will be your oyster.

By now you have heard over 97% of all online marketers fail. Most marketers fail not because of effort but due to planning, if someone fails to plan, they are in fact planning to fail!

The basic concept is that throughout the ages 13 or more secret families have held the reigns over society by controlling the banking system, media empires, word government, sciences and health industry, as well as hording ancient information and religions. It is claimed that these elites were the inventors of modern religion as a means to close their victims minds to other possibilities, to the hidden truth.

When somebody is offered such information it’s a lot to digest and a hell of a lot to prove, but this mysterious idea has taken on a new life of its own ad re-established itself as a fact based political ideology against the current left/right regime. Instead of getting in to ancient orders, and occult undertones, today’s activists focus on what they can prove. Leading the way in the “info war” are the likes of Austin radio host Alex Jones that is anti-corporate media, and all out anti-establishment.

It is a fact that all the major news channels are owned by corporate interests, it is fact that most president’s have more “wall street” staff than true politicians, it is a fact that major currencies are printed and issued by private banks and not the governments, and it is fact that certain interests get profits from war. Dig a little deeper and the wealthiest and most powerful families in the world just happen to have interests in all these things and are interconnected in some fashion. Some find it humorous, but it is also a fact that 25 US Presidents are related to each other and can be traced back to various royal families and aristocracy.

When you get past the more accepted “here and now” political debate of a corrupt New World Order, it takes you back to this ancient bloodline Illuminati dynasty and is extremely interesting, whether fact or fiction.

It is alleged that in Ancient Babylon the rulers at the time (who claimed they descended from Gods) sent offspring to all corners of the globe to set up the royal families and religious figures. These then controlled their given society under strict regimes and under false religion. Secret societies were then created to hide true information about the origins of man and the elites, and here citizens that would carry out the ruler’s agenda were groomed and pushed in to positions of power, so any freedom fighter would never make it to the top of the power structure. They created the money system that enslaves humanity today, and have had there hands in both sides of every major war.

Last Thursday night’s guest on my internet radio program was relationship expert, Kathleen Sims, and she talked about the sorts of things that go to make up a successful relationship, especially at midlife. She was very willing to go beyond the kinds of hype that other relationship gurus seem to be using (the kind of promotion that says, “We guarantee that if you follow our easy 3-step program, your relationship will achieve instant perfection!”). We talked about how, as relationships mature, the challenges actually deepen.

In this context, she revealed a startling bit of personal experience: as part of the mentoring that she provides to couples, she has several times offered workshops on communication. Remarkably, she has had little success convincing people to attend. Both she and I have had similar experiences: in general, people seems reluctant to handle the basic fundamental things that are required to create the life that they want. This can be a devastating deficiency at midlife: failing to take care of yourself properly can catapult you into a crisis situation that has the potential to destroy your career, your relationship(s) and/or your health unnecessarily. So . . . can we talk?

Communication forms the very essence of any relationship. Of course we’ll have many relatives (face it: we’re stuck with them) in our lives, but that doesn’t mean that we will have a relationship with them. They’re like many of the items in our safe deposit box: we have to keep them, but we don’t need to deal with them. Some people (falsely) assume that, just because you’re married to someone, you necessarily have a relationship with him or her. When imagining that you have a relationship with someone else, it’s as though you imagine, in Kathleen’s inspired terms, that birth or marriage or civil union has merged the two of you into a sort of conglomerate. If you imagine yourself as a circle and your relationship-partner (by birth or in law) as a second circle, you may think that your relationship causes the circles to merge. I have to agree with Kathleen that, in fact, they do not. Instead, there’s a third circle that represents your relationship, and it ‘belongs’ to neither one of you, but to both of you.

That third circle that we call ‘relationship’ is not natural, it’s created and sustained by the decisions and actions that both of you take. Those decisions and actions determine whether or not there will be communication. Here’s the simple ‘bottom line’: if there’s no communication, there’s no relationship regardless whether you’re parent-child, siblings, life partners, or just friends. You can’t be in a relationship by default. You’re either working at it (by continually learning to communicate and practicing what you’ve learned), or it doesn’t exist at all. You don’t have to have a court order to ‘divorce’ your husband, wife, partner, father, mother, sibling, partner, friend; all you need to do to have an effective divorce is to stop talking about what’s really important to you.

As usual in this midlife ‘game’, men have a tougher time at this than women do, and in both directions: we haven’t been raised to share our deeper thoughts and feelings, nor have we been taught the skills of active, empathetic listening. We too often replace real understanding and empathy – real communication – with the ‘right answers’: “Yes, dear,” or “OK,” or “Yup . . . understood.” There are so many nice and agreeable responses that we men can make that feign listening. We use them in our work situations all the time. They’re empathy surrogates: they’re meant to make it appear that we’re doing what we know we’re not: listening. We know the difference. We man know when we’re really telling you the truth; and very often it scares us to death!

Midlife can’t be successfully navigated without fully engaging in the never-ending struggle to learn to communicate more effectively. It means learning to tell you who I am and what’s going on with me. It also means listening to you at a level that goes far beyond your words: recognizing that, for example, when you’re upset, it’s about you and not about me. It’s a life-long task to learn to extract the meaning from the words, especially when that meaning has little to do with what the words mean. The task very often involves listening with the heart and blocking out the head – particularly in very intimate relationships.

You may be saying, “I don’t need to learn how to communicate! After all, I’ve been doing it since before I learned to talk!” Or do you? Too often, our fear and our pride keep us away from working on the ‘basics’, as though learning to communicate with others was like learning to feed yourself: once you’ve got it, you’ve got it. That attitude leaves many people foundering with a childish skill level in adult situations. We feel like those we most need to have a relationship with “just don’t understand us,” whereas it’s most often we who are unable to tell them what we need or even what’s going on with us. People who love us very often don’t understand because we’re incapable of telling telling them what they need to know. In relationships, as in every other facet of life – particularly in the midlife transition – it’s much easier for us to blame others for not ‘getting’ us than it is for us to do the hard work necessary to learn how to tell them what we need for them to know.

Midlife severely affects three areas of your life: 1) your career, 2) your relationships, and 3) your health and well-being. If any one of those areas isn’t working for you right now, you need to take a deeper look at yourself. Pointing fingers at others will do nothing to get you out of whatever situation you find yourself in. You alone are responsible for your relationships. What do you need to do – to change – to make these things work. Dumping them should be a resort taken only when it makes no sense to continue (usually because the other person in the relationship has decided not to do the work to maintain his or her part of the relationship).

One final note about relationships: don’t imagine that having a deep and vital relationship means that things will always go smoothly between you. They won’t. Growth only comes from meeting (and grappling with) challenges and obstacles. A ‘relationship’ that has no friction or disagreements is most often that way because it lacks real intimacy. In fact, I’d be willing to go out on a limb here and say that the more vital and intimate a relationship is, the more challenging the struggles that ensue. Likewise, the more difficult the midlife transition from adulthood to maturity proves to be, the richer and fuller the maturity will become. Can we talk? Hang in there: don’t quit before the miracle happens!

Worth Your Consideration:

Thinking way down the road, will you be throwing out this furniture when the cover is worn out or will you be re-covering it? Better furniture tends to have superior components, construction and comfort, making this a decision of long term comfort over price.

The price to re-cover a good piece of good furniture is no less than buying new piece. Here you have to consider whether the new one will be as comfortable as the one you know is ‘tried and true’. Also, the choices of fabric for recovery is almost infinitely greater than the choices available ‘ready made’ or ‘off the floor’.

When buying new ‘first quality’ fabrics you will have a full understanding of quality of your fabric choices. Included information is care instructions, wear test results, fire code rating, tear strength, fibre content and weight (ounces per lin. Yard). All information that may not be available when buying closeout fabrics

Things To Consider When Buying Your Original Pieces – Of course, when buying custom furniture you get the advantage of, not only, choosing the fabric but also the construction of that furniture. While no one method of construction is better for all purposes some of the things to consider are:

Kiln dried hardwood throughout or just the stressed points.
Glued, screwed and doweled joints
The use of plywood, cardboard or webbing to fill some of the voids
The use of sinuous springs (different strength for the back and/or seat) or 8 way hand tied coil springs.
Padded support under the front of seat cushion or sprung (soft front).
Back and seat cushions.

This is a shortlist of the key constructions:

Slab foam filled and wrapped with polyester batting or feather/down
All feather and down
Coil springs and wrapped with polyester batting or feather/down.

The answers to these question allow you to make the decisions necessary for a wise choice.

Among force-measuring devices, dynamometers are a flexible metallic ring that bends when a force is applied in such a manner as to tend to collapse it (the amount of bending being a measure of the applied force) and a hydraulic “load cell” that measures compressive loads in terms of fluid pressure.

Once you have built your new motor, or fitted any tuning parts, it is very important to visit a good automotive Dynamometer or rolling road. If you don’t, then you will never be able to properly set up your engine.

A good dynamometer allows you to use a gas analyzer while under load so you can see the real air fuel mixture at all RPM’s while driving.

Power-measuring dynamometers may be either transmission dynamometers or absorption dynamometers. The former utilize devices that measure torque, in terms of the elastic twist of the shaft or of a special torquemeter inserted between some sections of the shaft. The torque is produced by the useful load that the prime mover, motor, or machine is carrying.

Unlike transmission dynos, absorption dynamometers produce the torque that they measure by creating a constant restraint to the turning of a shaft, by applying mechanical friction, fluid friction, or electromagnetic induction.

A Prony brake develops mechanical friction on the edges of a rotating pulley by the means of a few brake blocks that are squeezed against the wheel by tightening the bolts until the friction torque FR balances the torque WL.

A water brake creates a resistance by circulating the water flow between a rotating impeller and a stationary shell, while an electric dynamometer generates and absorbs direct-current electricity or eddy currents. In each case, the element that exerts the restraining influence is freely cradled so that its tendency to rotate with the rotating body can be restricted and the restricted force is measured at a known distance from the axis of rotation.

Torque is the product of the spring load or weight and the distance from the axis of rotation. Dynamometers also measure the torque produced by an engine in order to reveal important information about its performance.

A diagnose is then presented in performance graphs, which can be easily printed and interpreted.
