A Winter Weather Checklist for Thoughtful Brides

Posted by jones on August 31, 2009

Anyone planning a Cincinnati wedding in the winter monthsshould be very cautious of weather changes. Even Northern Kentucky wedding plans are many times vulnerable to delayed flights, terrible driving conditions, and bitterly cold winds.

It must be said that there is something quaint and delightful about a little church that is snow covered and filled with twinkling candles. It can almost seem like a fairy tale to walk down the aisle with family, and friends, looking on and a bride can get carried away with thoughts of perfection without once thinking about what can go wrong. But if some of your family and friends are stuck in the airport because of weather related delays or if your favorite uncle can’t make it through on ice-covered roads it suddenly becomes very important to try to avoid these circumstances from occurring.

There is a reason that most brides still prefer the months of May, June and the new favorite month of October. In addition to being months for abundant and beautiful flowers, the mild weather lends itself to outdoor pictures of the entire celebration and the weather in Ohio and Kentucky is pretty predictable during this time. only a few states can boast of the clear, mostly sunny days of May and June, not to mention the dazzling, varying colors of the leaves in early fall during the month of October. There is a honest case to be made that most people who have to travel would really prefer to do so when the scenery is so spectacular and good weather is just about a certainty. Who wouldn’t enjoy a trip during this time?

But back to the bride who has forever thought of getting married in the winter time. Some girls even want a ceremony during the Christmas season and love the decorations at this time of year. You know what they constantly comment….this is “Her” day and she should go for it. There are just a few safety measures that should be taken:

• Book a group of accommodations at a nearby hotel for out-of-town guests. In cities where severe weather conditions is a certainty during the winter months, these rooms can fill up rapidly and your guests will be out of luck trying to book a room.

• Arrange for transportation to and from the hotel being used by your guests. In case of terrible weather no-one will have to worry about driving on treacherous roads in an unfamiliar city. This is also a thoughtful thing to provide for getting guests home after a reception that goes on late into the night.

• Provide concise, detailed instructions and be sure to include a map to the church and to the reception sites. While these are always valued, when the weather is bad they become a lifeline to a annoyed and worn out traveler. No one wants to waste extra time on the road than they have to when in an unknown city.

• Ask a relative if you can print his or her telephone number on the map and/or driving instructions in case someone needs more explanation during their journey. If a road happens to be closed or if severe weather comes up unexpectedly, a person who knows the area can guide travelers around possible trouble spots.

Planning to Graduate from High School

Posted by jones on August 23, 2009

When preparing to graduate from high school, you will have to address multiple aspects to be prepared. One important thing to consider is letting your family and friends know about your achievement. You will want to share this important event with your loved ones. To ensure that everyone knows about the upcoming event is to send out Announcements to everyone. You can find stores that have cards that you can order in large numbers and make specific to your graduation. To make it more personal, you could look into creating Photo announcements. This will allow you to attach a recent picture or the senior picture, which your yearbook will most likely require you to have done, to the announcements when you send them out. This gives something generic a completely personal and sentimental touch without having to do too much work.

It is important to get them into the mail with plenty of time before your graduation ceremony to allow them time to make plans. For the actual ceremony, it is important to look into the procedures for getting tickets for guests. You do not want to have to deal with a problem like not having enough tickets for your invited guests. Instead you could think about having a party or get together after the ceremony to celebrate with all the people who could not attend the ceremony.

Another piece of preparing to graduate is making sure you follow the requirements about senior pictures for your yearbook. You will most likely be required to go get a shot for the yearbook that looks traditional and more formal. Typically, you will do multiple shots with a variety of themes. The photographer will have you bring a few different outfits, typically this is truer for female students, and you both will probably look into multiple options for location of the picture. A few weeks after the session, the photographer will call you back in to take a look at the test shots and decide which you want to use for the yearbook and if you want to order prints of any of the other shots. Most students will choose a few shots and order prints of each. During senior year, students swap senior pictures like boys who trade baseball cards. This one of the fun aspects of senior year and a nice way to remember the people you care about. The only problem with this practice is that it can get somewhat expensive to purchase multiple prints.

Preparing to graduate can be somewhat expensive in general though. There is a lot that you are responsible for purchasing before graduating. You will have to purchase your cap and gown for the ceremony. Other items like a class ring and a yearbook are other expenses. In the end it is important to remember what an important day graduation is and you will want to make sure it is memorable. It may be expensive to go through all the extravagant practices when preparing to graduate, but in the end it creates the memories that will last.

The National Health Service and 0300 numbers

Posted by jones on August 20, 2009

In August 2009, NHS Sefton in Merseyside launched a new phoneline for people to call to access free lifestyle information.

Healthy Sefton offers details about alcohol, smoking and physical activity that residents of the town can access by calling 0300 100 1000.

0300 Telephone Numbers are relatively new and are exclusively for public bodies and charities. They are ‘non-geographic’ numbers (like 0800 numbers and 0845 numbers etc.) and offer organisations many benefits compared to standard landline numbers.

Here are 10 reasons Healthy Sefton is using an 03 Number:

1) Like all non-geographic numbers, 03 numbers enable organisations to smarten up the way they deal with calls with intelligent features like introduction messages (“Thank you for calling Healthy Sefton”) and options menus (e.g. Press 1 for smoking information, 2 for advice about alcohol etc.)

2) Organisations can handpick a highly memorable number that their callers will recall easily.

3) 03 Numbers cost people the same to call as regular landline (01/02 numbers) even from a mobile phone (40% of all UK calls are now made from mobiles – Ofcom 2008). This makes them ethical phone numbers that are not subject to any negative publicity (which is of particular importance to publically funded bodies).

4) Calls to 03 numbers can be easily recorded for training purposes.

5) 03 numbers simply ‘sit’ on top of any landline or mobile number. No additional equipment or hardware is needed.

6) Callers can be queued, meaning that all important calls will be answered.

7) 03 numbers can easily move with an organisation if it relocates – they simply get ‘pointed’ at the new landline/mobile accordingly.

icon cool The National Health Service and 0300 numbers 03 numbers can be inexpensive to run if you seek out the provider with the most competitive offering on the market (e.g. 30,000 free inbound minutes per month and once they have been used 0.5 pence per minute for all calls received after that).

9) It’s possible to see the geographic location of callers and the busy periods of the organisation using online call statistics packages.

10) 0300 numbers and their features are fully controlled online. No additional hardware or equipment is needed and settings can be changed at any time and from anywhere with an internet connection.The importance of good health advice cant be understated and the use of a free call line to ensure that people are able to call it no matter your monetary status. 0300 numbers are the best way to supply a well known number to people so that they can get free advice.
