Letter from the Community

An apartment community cannot ldquobuyrdquo their status as a W3 Lifestyle designated community As a W3 Lifestyle community they have been identified as being the Best of The Best by providing Superior Resident Services and Superior Product Quality for apartment dwellers

As a W3 Lifestyle designated community they receive a variety of services from us to support their commitment in being the absolute Best of The Best For example a customized community newsletter which is called the Minizine due to its Magazine quality design and size consistent monthly resident events resident appreciation programs and so much more This allows W3 Lifestyle communities to save thousands of dollars which then can be committed to other areas of the community to enhance resident services and general community appeal

If a community does not hold the W3 Lifestyle designation then it simply is not the Best of The Best under our terms and expectationsor at least they will not ldquocommitrdquo to consistently being the Best of The Best Either way if we were you - it is a W3 Lifestyle designated community that has committed to providing YOU with the absolutely best place to liveand therefore is the only thing to be looking for in your next apartment home Many ldquosayrdquo they are the best but ONLY the communities that truly ldquomeanrdquo it have committed to it with receiving our W3 Lifestyle designation

what it means to be

AMLI Milton Park Corner

W3 Lifestyle began with one goal in mind - give apartment renters a place to go to find the absolute

best in the apartment industry No more ldquohopingrdquo you find the best or trying to ldquoguessrdquo who is the best based on those huge publications

If a community holds the W3 Lifestyle designation they have proven to be the Best of The Best and committed to superior service superior product quality superior living environments and the overall best place you could possibly live Much like other designations such as ldquoGood Housekeepingrdquo ldquoEnergy Starrdquo etc the W3 Lifestyle designation is one of top quality

Obtaining the W3 Lifestyle designation is not something that can be bought Only communities that have been invited can brag about being a W3 Lifestyle community

So who are we Our company was founded by someone that came from the Property Management industry Frustrated with the fact that there was no good place for

apartment renters to go to in order to find the best apartment communities - the W3 Lifestyle concept was born Our team is comprised of creative individuals who are always looking for new resident programs to enhance their lifestyles

What does it mean to be a W3 Lifestyle community It means not only having a physical amenity package but also having

a lifestyle amenity package We support our communities by offering customized monthly Newsletters to our W3 Lifestyle communities as well as consistent Community Events We also provide a full package of other programs such as

our Resident Appreciation program the customized Community Social Networks our Resident Touch program and so much more

So here is a question - with the above programs and services being offered to our W3 Lifestyle communities free of charge - why would any community NOT be a W3 Lifestyle community They either were not invited or were invited but did not want to commit to our standards That said where would you want to live If it is not a W3 Lifestyle community it simply isnrsquot worth living at

LETTER FROM W3 - W3 LIFESTYLE 5

what it means to be W3 Lifestyle Designated

ldquoNo more lsquohopingrsquo you find the best Itrsquos

about knowingrdquo

With a roller coaster economy high job unemployment and

increasing federal debt this is the time to take stock and ask yourself some important financial questions to make sure you keep your financial house in order Here are 5 important questions to ask yourself now

1 Do I have an exit strategy with my investments If the stock market has another free fall or your company stock takes a dive how will you put some sort of cushion to secure those assets which have grown over

the past year You should be asking yourself questions such as how far your money may go down before you exit the stock market or how much it needs to make before you might take some profit off the table Learn from the ups and downs you saw in the early 2000rsquos and in 20072008

2 Do I have enough of a cash reserve With job market uncertainty you want to make sure you beef up your cash reserve for at least three months more

than you would normally have If you are used to having 3 months in a cash

5 Financial Questions to Ask Yourself Right Now

ldquo I would recommend doubling your cash

reserverdquo

6 W3 LIFESTYLE - oXYGen Financial

reserve than I would recommend doubling it to 6 months to be more safe

3 Do I have a spending plan or budget in place If your income begins to expand again over the next couple of years I think it is critical that you keep your spending plan in check Make sure to save at least 10 of your income with the real target being 20 of your total income By really examining your budget now you can determine your wants versus your needs It is certainly a good idea to reward yourself from time to time but staying away from any unnecessary major purchases that are not in your budget will be a key to building wealth during the next up economic cycle

4 Are my insurance coveragersquos in place Even though the health care bill passed recently it is important to review your insurance coveragersquos from what you have at work to the personal insurance you currently carry If you lose your job or decide to leave many coveragersquos such as disability insurance go unnoticed until it is too late

5 Are my beneficiary designations

up to date With many people entering into second and third marriages with both spouses perhaps having kids from prior marriages it is important to make sure you review your beneficiary designations I often find that people donrsquot review these until it is too late

As more and more people get their financial homes in order asking yourself these five questions can help you run your family finances

like a business

Nestled in the heart of North Georgia Vineyards Wolf Mounain Vineyards and

Winery is a sight to be seen With the North Georgia Mountains as their backdrop they are surrounded by the beautiufl rows of vines This family owned business is known for producing the best wine in Georgia witht their European style blending and melodic tandums that often competes with California wines Those who visit Wolf Mountain are surprised to find a sophisticated pallete instead of the sweet tart wine that many expect from a Georgia winery

Not only does Wolf Mountain have beautiuflly crafted wine but they also have a cafe filled with scrumptious goodies like lighthly

The Internet has changed the way we relate to each other as business

partners as clients as friends as family even as lovers Not only has it become easier to stay in touch with people we already know it has become easier to find and connect with people wersquove never met before mdash and might not ever meet at all

Whether yoursquore looking for new customers a new audience a new business partner a new vendor new friends or a new one night stand you can maximize your use of the Internet and the wave of social networking sites that have cropped up to help us connect Doing even a few of these things will set you apart from the vast majority of people who view social

network sites as toys and networking as ldquojust for funrdquo (though it can be fun too) Have a clear purpose Know what yoursquore using a social networking site for While itrsquos ok to have a profile somewhere thatrsquos just for ldquohanging outrdquo you need to know that hanging out is its purpose If you are using a social networking site to try to build an audience connect with other professionals or meet your next wife it should be focused on achieving that end Donrsquot muddy the waters by trying to

advertise your dog-walking service pick up dates for the weekend post pictures of the company picnic and build an audience for your

Building Relationships 10 Ways to Get the Most Out of Social Networking Sites BY DUSTIN WAX

ldquo Know what yoursquore using a social networking site

forrdquo

16 W3 LIFESTYLE - COVER

how many people never do this Yet itrsquos the first thing people want to know about you Most people check all the boxes (Irsquom a Virgo in a relationshiphellip done) but donrsquot do much with the real ldquomeatrdquo of their profile the About Me section Put some thought into what you want people to know about you and why people should care

Donrsquot follow the leader It can be tempting to sit back and wait for people to contact you for people to leave comments for people to suggest installing some new application mdash rousing yourself only to respond to whatever prompts come your way Take the initiative and add people select a handful of apps you like and stick with them and update on a semi-regular basis (or a regular basis schedule 30 minutes a week to update your profile if itrsquos an important part of your public image)

Accept everyone There are two schools of thought on this create an inner circle of close colleagues comrades or companions or create a huge body of followers fans or ex-girl- and boyfriends I fall into the second camp mdash anyone who has taken the effort to ldquofriendrdquo me gets added Those are the people who are willing to invest their attention in what yoursquore doing who have given you permission to ldquobroadcastrdquo your life to them Welcome them

Add everyone you know no matter how little Most services these days will scan your address book and tell you if therersquos anyone you might already know onboard Some will also recommend people a on people you already know places yoursquove worked or interests yoursquove highlighted

Which of these do you use A couple or all Which do you prefer

COVER - W3 LIFESTYLE 17

(LinkedIn) is scarily good at this If you come across someone you actually know in ldquoreal liferdquo no matter how distantly add them That is after all the point of social networking mdash to leverage the often-invisible connections that exist between us and other people The worst that can happen is that they say ldquonordquo mdash this has never happened to me

Pick one or two networks and work them It can be tempting to sign up for dozens of social networking sites especially when different contacts turn up on different sites But itrsquos nearly impossible to make use of a dozen different sites unless you figure out how to make a career of it Instead pick one or two sites and focus all your energies on creating useful meaningful connections there

Send messages Find a reason to connect with the people in your network and send them a message once in a while Since the main point of this is to keep a channel of communication open it doesnrsquot have to be profound mdash a ldquohappy birthdayrdquo is good if the site reveals birthdays Donrsquot though make it all about you mdash that is donrsquot post a message to everyone in your list every time you update a picture go to work or leave your house (You laugh mdash Irsquove had friends that did this)

Have something to say Let people know why yoursquore there what your purpose is and what makes you you Give people a reason to pay attention to you Although most people in your circle will stay in your circle indefinitely if you donrsquot do anything at all having connections because theyrsquove forgotten yoursquore there is hardly the best use of a social network Post something to

your front page blog wall or whatever it is every now and then so that people learn something about you

Avoid clutter Remember when MySpace pages were awful and Facebook pages were clean and simple No more mdash now it takes about 8 minutes for your profile anywhere to get covered with junk If your page is so full of junk that nobody can tell anything important about you you might as well not have a page Limit yourself to only 3 or 4 extras and either stick with the default theme or try to find one thatrsquos clean and simple

Firewall your personal with business lives This might not apply to everyone but for most people once yoursquove decided to use a social networking site for business purposes donrsquot use it at all for non-business communication mdash and vice versa Remember that the story about you the goat and the magnum of champagne is going out to everyone yoursquove allowed to see your profile Thatrsquos not something you want to share with potential business partners If necessary create two profiles on the same site one for your business persona the other for your personal life instead of denying friend requests from friends and family you can just refer them to the other profile

Social networking sites have a reputation as being huge time wasters and for most people they are If you can afford that luxury more power to you for the rest of you really think about what social networking can do for you and focus your energies to making that work

Regarded as one of the best movies of the summer ldquoInceptionrdquo is directed by ldquoDark Knightrdquo and stars

Leonardo DiCaprio and ldquoJunorsquosrdquo Ellen Page When I first saw the trailor I was instantly intrigued it was action packed and full of mystery

The movie is about a theif in a technological world who specializes in stealing the deepest secrets from the subconscious of others He and his team are given a chance to redeem themselves by commiting the perfect heist create an idea in someonersquos subconscious Itrsquos dark and keeps my attention Not to mention the handsome Leonardo DiCaprio gives a worthy performance as usual ldquoInceptionrdquo really shows off his skill This is a movie that keeps you thinking and keeps your attention Also as a fan of Stanley Kubrick this movie brings me back to his style of dramatic images with the dreams that are shown

I was impressed with the visual and storyline detail that ldquoInceptionrdquo brought to the table According to the Box Office rankings Irsquom not the only one who enjoyed this comlex story Itrsquos in itrsquos third week as number one and the second highest grossing science fiction movie just behind ldquoAvatarrdquo I give it 5 STARS

New TV Lineups

Our own local bridal boutique Bridals By Lori will be coming to TLC on

August 6th with ldquoYes to the Dress Atlantardquo Irsquom definantly

looking foward to this show because I recently

went to the store with my roommate whorsquos engaged The experience was great

however they put her into a dress above her price point

that she fell in love with so Irsquom eager to see what

shenanigans they will pull on the show They also seem

a little more sassy than the original ldquoSay Yes to the

Dressrdquo in New York

I have a new obsession Urban Outiffitters Since I first stepped

into the store earlier this year I have been visiting their website online and checking out the new deals Lucky for me they happen to have deals daily

Urban Outfitters upon arrival is filled with clothes books trinkets and music Itrsquos a hipsterrsquos thrift store boutique The style is modern vintage wrapped with boho chic Urban Outfitters has men and women clothing shoes bagswallets and accersories However their store doesnrsquot end at clothing they also have really cool and fun apartment stuff The Antoinette Fainting Chair is my newest crush

Urban Outfitters is also reasonably priced especially compared to their

sister store Anthropologie Here you can actually afford to buy what you see versus just lust after a piece of furniture or a new cardigan

They impressed me recently by mailing my new bedding in 3 days That was standard shipping Irsquom not saying that it happens everytime but I was really excited to get it in 3 days versus the standard 5 to 7 days My roommate also experienced the same results when she ordered a bathing suit and it came before she went out of town The quality of their products is also great

So my next adventure in shopping to purchase that Antoinette Fainting Chair It will go perfect with the amazing bedding I bought from Urban Outfitters

Check them outYoga Classes This meridian treatment is based on time long alternative therapy that is able to heal the body through encouraging positive energy It involves taking some simple exercises on regular and almost religious intervals It may often be accompanied by meditation By participating in yoga and meditation one is provided with information that will enable one to reduce stress immensely

Exercises that You Enjoy These are exercises that you would often do on your own For example a tummy stretch is an exercise that you can conduct while staying at home Sit-ups are also simple exercises that can be done at home

Simple but Regular You need not to strain in performing exercises to ease back pain This is because it might create dangerous moves that may further complicate a hurting back The secret is in doing one simple but regular exercise

P h y s i o t h e r a p y E x e r c i s e s A physiotherapist is one such person who is trained on how to refocus certain muscles and make them work normally This is the person who will be best placed to advice you on how to manage a severe back pain This can often be managed in combination with tables or pills that either reduce pain or

increase the cartilage formation

Regular massage using aromatherapy or herbal remedies have also been shown to be effective exercises to ease back pain These can be purchased from online shops and they often come with compete manuals on how to use them

The ultimate goal of the exercises is to increase blood flow to these back muscles or the lumbar Moreover this results in faster bone formation and reduction in pain

Where the exercises do not seem to improve the condition then you may need to visit an expert who might help you out

Nationwide crackdowns on texting while driving has gotten even more enforced in

some states with law getting involved Here are some useful facts and differences between the different cell phone laws

Handheld Cell Phones 8 states (Calif Conn Del Md NJ NY Ore and Wash) DC and the Virgin Islands prohibit all drivers from using handheld cell phones while driving Except for Maryland all laws are primary enforcementmdashan officer may cite a driver for using a handheld cell phone without any other traffic offense taking place

All Cell Phone Use No state bans all cell phone use (handheld and hands-free) for all drivers but many prohibit all cell phone use by certain drivers Novice Drivers 28 states and DC ban all cell phone use by novice drivers

School Bus Drivers Bus drivers in 18 states and DC may not use a cell phone when passengers are present

Text Messaging 30 states DC and Guam ban text messaging for all drivers 11 of these laws

were enacted in 2010 26 states DC and Guam have primary enforcement In the other four texting bans are secondary Novice Drivers An additional 8 states prohibit text messaging by novice drivers

School Bus Drivers 2 states restrict school bus drivers from texting while driving

Some states such as Maine NH and Utah treat cell phone use and texting as part of a larger distracted driving issue In Utah cellphone use is an offense only if a driver is also committing some other moving violation (other than speeding)

Crash Data Collection Many states include a category for cell phoneelectronic equipment distraction on police accident report forms Recently proposed federal legislation would require states to collect this data in order to qualify for certain federal funding

Preemption Laws Many localities have passed their own distracted driving bans However some states ndash such as Fla Ky La Miss Nev and Okla ndash prohibit localities from enacting such laws

Letter from the Community

An apartment community cannot ldquobuyrdquo their status as a W3 Lifestyle designated community As a W3 Lifestyle community they have been identified as being the Best of The Best by providing Superior Resident Services and Superior Product Quality for apartment dwellers

As a W3 Lifestyle designated community they receive a variety of services from us to support their commitment in being the absolute Best of The Best For example a customized community newsletter which is called the Minizine due to its Magazine quality design and size consistent monthly resident events resident appreciation programs and so much more This allows W3 Lifestyle communities to save thousands of dollars which then can be committed to other areas of the community to enhance resident services and general community appeal

If a community does not hold the W3 Lifestyle designation then it simply is not the Best of The Best under our terms and expectationsor at least they will not ldquocommitrdquo to consistently being the Best of The Best Either way if we were you - it is a W3 Lifestyle designated community that has committed to providing YOU with the absolutely best place to liveand therefore is the only thing to be looking for in your next apartment home Many ldquosayrdquo they are the best but ONLY the communities that truly ldquomeanrdquo it have committed to it with receiving our W3 Lifestyle designation

what it means to be

AMLI Milton Park Corner

W3 Lifestyle began with one goal in mind - give apartment renters a place to go to find the absolute

best in the apartment industry No more ldquohopingrdquo you find the best or trying to ldquoguessrdquo who is the best based on those huge publications

If a community holds the W3 Lifestyle designation they have proven to be the Best of The Best and committed to superior service superior product quality superior living environments and the overall best place you could possibly live Much like other designations such as ldquoGood Housekeepingrdquo ldquoEnergy Starrdquo etc the W3 Lifestyle designation is one of top quality

Obtaining the W3 Lifestyle designation is not something that can be bought Only communities that have been invited can brag about being a W3 Lifestyle community

So who are we Our company was founded by someone that came from the Property Management industry Frustrated with the fact that there was no good place for

apartment renters to go to in order to find the best apartment communities - the W3 Lifestyle concept was born Our team is comprised of creative individuals who are always looking for new resident programs to enhance their lifestyles

What does it mean to be a W3 Lifestyle community It means not only having a physical amenity package but also having

a lifestyle amenity package We support our communities by offering customized monthly Newsletters to our W3 Lifestyle communities as well as consistent Community Events We also provide a full package of other programs such as

our Resident Appreciation program the customized Community Social Networks our Resident Touch program and so much more

So here is a question - with the above programs and services being offered to our W3 Lifestyle communities free of charge - why would any community NOT be a W3 Lifestyle community They either were not invited or were invited but did not want to commit to our standards That said where would you want to live If it is not a W3 Lifestyle community it simply isnrsquot worth living at

what it means to be W3 Lifestyle Designated

ldquoNo more lsquohopingrsquo you find the best Itrsquos

about knowingrdquo

With a roller coaster economy high job unemployment and

increasing federal debt this is the time to take stock and ask yourself some important financial questions to make sure you keep your financial house in order Here are 5 important questions to ask yourself now

1 Do I have an exit strategy with my investments If the stock market has another free fall or your company stock takes a dive how will you put some sort of cushion to secure those assets which have grown over

the past year You should be asking yourself questions such as how far your money may go down before you exit the stock market or how much it needs to make before you might take some profit off the table Learn from the ups and downs you saw in the early 2000rsquos and in 20072008

2 Do I have enough of a cash reserve With job market uncertainty you want to make sure you beef up your cash reserve for at least three months more

than you would normally have If you are used to having 3 months in a cash

5 Financial Questions to Ask Yourself Right Now

ldquo I would recommend doubling your cash

reserverdquo

6 W3 LIFESTYLE - oXYGen Financial

reserve than I would recommend doubling it to 6 months to be more safe

3 Do I have a spending plan or budget in place If your income begins to expand again over the next couple of years I think it is critical that you keep your spending plan in check Make sure to save at least 10 of your income with the real target being 20 of your total income By really examining your budget now you can determine your wants versus your needs It is certainly a good idea to reward yourself from time to time but staying away from any unnecessary major purchases that are not in your budget will be a key to building wealth during the next up economic cycle

4 Are my insurance coveragersquos in place Even though the health care bill passed recently it is important to review your insurance coveragersquos from what you have at work to the personal insurance you currently carry If you lose your job or decide to leave many coveragersquos such as disability insurance go unnoticed until it is too late

5 Are my beneficiary designations

up to date With many people entering into second and third marriages with both spouses perhaps having kids from prior marriages it is important to make sure you review your beneficiary designations I often find that people donrsquot review these until it is too late

As more and more people get their financial homes in order asking yourself these five questions can help you run your family finances

partners as clients as friends as family even as lovers Not only has it become easier to stay in touch with people we already know it has become easier to find and connect with people wersquove never met before mdash and might not ever meet at all

Whether yoursquore looking for new customers a new audience a new business partner a new vendor new friends or a new one night stand you can maximize your use of the Internet and the wave of social networking sites that have cropped up to help us connect Doing even a few of these things will set you apart from the vast majority of people who view social

network sites as toys and networking as ldquojust for funrdquo (though it can be fun too) Have a clear purpose Know what yoursquore using a social networking site for While itrsquos ok to have a profile somewhere thatrsquos just for ldquohanging outrdquo you need to know that hanging out is its purpose If you are using a social networking site to try to build an audience connect with other professionals or meet your next wife it should be focused on achieving that end Donrsquot muddy the waters by trying to

Building Relationships 10 Ways to Get the Most Out of Social Networking Sites BY DUSTIN WAX

ldquo Know what yoursquore using a social networking site

forrdquo

16 W3 LIFESTYLE - COVER

how many people never do this Yet itrsquos the first thing people want to know about you Most people check all the boxes (Irsquom a Virgo in a relationshiphellip done) but donrsquot do much with the real ldquomeatrdquo of their profile the About Me section Put some thought into what you want people to know about you and why people should care

Donrsquot follow the leader It can be tempting to sit back and wait for people to contact you for people to leave comments for people to suggest installing some new application mdash rousing yourself only to respond to whatever prompts come your way Take the initiative and add people select a handful of apps you like and stick with them and update on a semi-regular basis (or a regular basis schedule 30 minutes a week to update your profile if itrsquos an important part of your public image)

Accept everyone There are two schools of thought on this create an inner circle of close colleagues comrades or companions or create a huge body of followers fans or ex-girl- and boyfriends I fall into the second camp mdash anyone who has taken the effort to ldquofriendrdquo me gets added Those are the people who are willing to invest their attention in what yoursquore doing who have given you permission to ldquobroadcastrdquo your life to them Welcome them

Add everyone you know no matter how little Most services these days will scan your address book and tell you if therersquos anyone you might already know onboard Some will also recommend people a on people you already know places yoursquove worked or interests yoursquove highlighted

Which of these do you use A couple or all Which do you prefer

COVER - W3 LIFESTYLE 17

(LinkedIn) is scarily good at this If you come across someone you actually know in ldquoreal liferdquo no matter how distantly add them That is after all the point of social networking mdash to leverage the often-invisible connections that exist between us and other people The worst that can happen is that they say ldquonordquo mdash this has never happened to me

Pick one or two networks and work them It can be tempting to sign up for dozens of social networking sites especially when different contacts turn up on different sites But itrsquos nearly impossible to make use of a dozen different sites unless you figure out how to make a career of it Instead pick one or two sites and focus all your energies on creating useful meaningful connections there

Send messages Find a reason to connect with the people in your network and send them a message once in a while Since the main point of this is to keep a channel of communication open it doesnrsquot have to be profound mdash a ldquohappy birthdayrdquo is good if the site reveals birthdays Donrsquot though make it all about you mdash that is donrsquot post a message to everyone in your list every time you update a picture go to work or leave your house (You laugh mdash Irsquove had friends that did this)

Have something to say Let people know why yoursquore there what your purpose is and what makes you you Give people a reason to pay attention to you Although most people in your circle will stay in your circle indefinitely if you donrsquot do anything at all having connections because theyrsquove forgotten yoursquore there is hardly the best use of a social network Post something to

your front page blog wall or whatever it is every now and then so that people learn something about you

Avoid clutter Remember when MySpace pages were awful and Facebook pages were clean and simple No more mdash now it takes about 8 minutes for your profile anywhere to get covered with junk If your page is so full of junk that nobody can tell anything important about you you might as well not have a page Limit yourself to only 3 or 4 extras and either stick with the default theme or try to find one thatrsquos clean and simple

Firewall your personal with business lives This might not apply to everyone but for most people once yoursquove decided to use a social networking site for business purposes donrsquot use it at all for non-business communication mdash and vice versa Remember that the story about you the goat and the magnum of champagne is going out to everyone yoursquove allowed to see your profile Thatrsquos not something you want to share with potential business partners If necessary create two profiles on the same site one for your business persona the other for your personal life instead of denying friend requests from friends and family you can just refer them to the other profile

Social networking sites have a reputation as being huge time wasters and for most people they are If you can afford that luxury more power to you for the rest of you really think about what social networking can do for you and focus your energies to making that work

Regarded as one of the best movies of the summer ldquoInceptionrdquo is directed by ldquoDark Knightrdquo and stars

Leonardo DiCaprio and ldquoJunorsquosrdquo Ellen Page When I first saw the trailor I was instantly intrigued it was action packed and full of mystery

The movie is about a theif in a technological world who specializes in stealing the deepest secrets from the subconscious of others He and his team are given a chance to redeem themselves by commiting the perfect heist create an idea in someonersquos subconscious Itrsquos dark and keeps my attention Not to mention the handsome Leonardo DiCaprio gives a worthy performance as usual ldquoInceptionrdquo really shows off his skill This is a movie that keeps you thinking and keeps your attention Also as a fan of Stanley Kubrick this movie brings me back to his style of dramatic images with the dreams that are shown

I was impressed with the visual and storyline detail that ldquoInceptionrdquo brought to the table According to the Box Office rankings Irsquom not the only one who enjoyed this comlex story Itrsquos in itrsquos third week as number one and the second highest grossing science fiction movie just behind ldquoAvatarrdquo I give it 5 STARS

New TV Lineups

Our own local bridal boutique Bridals By Lori will be coming to TLC on

August 6th with ldquoYes to the Dress Atlantardquo Irsquom definantly

looking foward to this show because I recently

went to the store with my roommate whorsquos engaged The experience was great

however they put her into a dress above her price point

that she fell in love with so Irsquom eager to see what

shenanigans they will pull on the show They also seem

a little more sassy than the original ldquoSay Yes to the

Dressrdquo in New York

I have a new obsession Urban Outiffitters Since I first stepped

into the store earlier this year I have been visiting their website online and checking out the new deals Lucky for me they happen to have deals daily

Urban Outfitters upon arrival is filled with clothes books trinkets and music Itrsquos a hipsterrsquos thrift store boutique The style is modern vintage wrapped with boho chic Urban Outfitters has men and women clothing shoes bagswallets and accersories However their store doesnrsquot end at clothing they also have really cool and fun apartment stuff The Antoinette Fainting Chair is my newest crush

Urban Outfitters is also reasonably priced especially compared to their

sister store Anthropologie Here you can actually afford to buy what you see versus just lust after a piece of furniture or a new cardigan

They impressed me recently by mailing my new bedding in 3 days That was standard shipping Irsquom not saying that it happens everytime but I was really excited to get it in 3 days versus the standard 5 to 7 days My roommate also experienced the same results when she ordered a bathing suit and it came before she went out of town The quality of their products is also great

So my next adventure in shopping to purchase that Antoinette Fainting Chair It will go perfect with the amazing bedding I bought from Urban Outfitters

Nationwide crackdowns on texting while driving has gotten even more enforced in

some states with law getting involved Here are some useful facts and differences between the different cell phone laws

Handheld Cell Phones 8 states (Calif Conn Del Md NJ NY Ore and Wash) DC and the Virgin Islands prohibit all drivers from using handheld cell phones while driving Except for Maryland all laws are primary enforcementmdashan officer may cite a driver for using a handheld cell phone without any other traffic offense taking place

All Cell Phone Use No state bans all cell phone use (handheld and hands-free) for all drivers but many prohibit all cell phone use by certain drivers Novice Drivers 28 states and DC ban all cell phone use by novice drivers

School Bus Drivers Bus drivers in 18 states and DC may not use a cell phone when passengers are present

Letter from the Community

An apartment community cannot ldquobuyrdquo their status as a W3 Lifestyle designated community As a W3 Lifestyle community they have been identified as being the Best of The Best by providing Superior Resident Services and Superior Product Quality for apartment dwellers

As a W3 Lifestyle designated community they receive a variety of services from us to support their commitment in being the absolute Best of The Best For example a customized community newsletter which is called the Minizine due to its Magazine quality design and size consistent monthly resident events resident appreciation programs and so much more This allows W3 Lifestyle communities to save thousands of dollars which then can be committed to other areas of the community to enhance resident services and general community appeal

If a community does not hold the W3 Lifestyle designation then it simply is not the Best of The Best under our terms and expectationsor at least they will not ldquocommitrdquo to consistently being the Best of The Best Either way if we were you - it is a W3 Lifestyle designated community that has committed to providing YOU with the absolutely best place to liveand therefore is the only thing to be looking for in your next apartment home Many ldquosayrdquo they are the best but ONLY the communities that truly ldquomeanrdquo it have committed to it with receiving our W3 Lifestyle designation

Leonardo DiCaprio and ldquoJunorsquosrdquo Ellen Page When I first saw the trailor I was instantly intrigued it was action packed and full of mystery

I was impressed with the visual and storyline detail that ldquoInceptionrdquo brought to the table According to the Box Office rankings Irsquom not the only one who enjoyed this comlex story Itrsquos in itrsquos third week as number one and the second highest grossing science fiction movie just behind ldquoAvatarrdquo I give it 5 STARS

New TV Lineups

Our own local bridal boutique Bridals By Lori will be coming to TLC on

August 6th with ldquoYes to the Dress Atlantardquo Irsquom definantly

looking foward to this show because I recently

went to the store with my roommate whorsquos engaged The experience was great

however they put her into a dress above her price point

that she fell in love with so Irsquom eager to see what

shenanigans they will pull on the show They also seem

a little more sassy than the original ldquoSay Yes to the

Dressrdquo in New York

I have a new obsession Urban Outiffitters Since I first stepped

into the store earlier this year I have been visiting their website online and checking out the new deals Lucky for me they happen to have deals daily

Urban Outfitters upon arrival is filled with clothes books trinkets and music Itrsquos a hipsterrsquos thrift store boutique The style is modern vintage wrapped with boho chic Urban Outfitters has men and women clothing shoes bagswallets and accersories However their store doesnrsquot end at clothing they also have really cool and fun apartment stuff The Antoinette Fainting Chair is my newest crush

Urban Outfitters is also reasonably priced especially compared to their

sister store Anthropologie Here you can actually afford to buy what you see versus just lust after a piece of furniture or a new cardigan

They impressed me recently by mailing my new bedding in 3 days That was standard shipping Irsquom not saying that it happens everytime but I was really excited to get it in 3 days versus the standard 5 to 7 days My roommate also experienced the same results when she ordered a bathing suit and it came before she went out of town The quality of their products is also great

So my next adventure in shopping to purchase that Antoinette Fainting Chair It will go perfect with the amazing bedding I bought from Urban Outfitters

increase the cartilage formation

Regular massage using aromatherapy or herbal remedies have also been shown to be effective exercises to ease back pain These can be purchased from online shops and they often come with compete manuals on how to use them

The ultimate goal of the exercises is to increase blood flow to these back muscles or the lumbar Moreover this results in faster bone formation and reduction in pain

Nationwide crackdowns on texting while driving has gotten even more enforced in

some states with law getting involved Here are some useful facts and differences between the different cell phone laws

Handheld Cell Phones 8 states (Calif Conn Del Md NJ NY Ore and Wash) DC and the Virgin Islands prohibit all drivers from using handheld cell phones while driving Except for Maryland all laws are primary enforcementmdashan officer may cite a driver for using a handheld cell phone without any other traffic offense taking place

All Cell Phone Use No state bans all cell phone use (handheld and hands-free) for all drivers but many prohibit all cell phone use by certain drivers Novice Drivers 28 states and DC ban all cell phone use by novice drivers

School Bus Drivers Bus drivers in 18 states and DC may not use a cell phone when passengers are present

Text Messaging 30 states DC and Guam ban text messaging for all drivers 11 of these laws

were enacted in 2010 26 states DC and Guam have primary enforcement In the other four texting bans are secondary Novice Drivers An additional 8 states prohibit text messaging by novice drivers

School Bus Drivers 2 states restrict school bus drivers from texting while driving

Some states such as Maine NH and Utah treat cell phone use and texting as part of a larger distracted driving issue In Utah cellphone use is an offense only if a driver is also committing some other moving violation (other than speeding)

Crash Data Collection Many states include a category for cell phoneelectronic equipment distraction on police accident report forms Recently proposed federal legislation would require states to collect this data in order to qualify for certain federal funding

what it means to be

AMLI Milton Park Corner

W3 Lifestyle began with one goal in mind - give apartment renters a place to go to find the absolute

best in the apartment industry No more ldquohopingrdquo you find the best or trying to ldquoguessrdquo who is the best based on those huge publications

If a community holds the W3 Lifestyle designation they have proven to be the Best of The Best and committed to superior service superior product quality superior living environments and the overall best place you could possibly live Much like other designations such as ldquoGood Housekeepingrdquo ldquoEnergy Starrdquo etc the W3 Lifestyle designation is one of top quality

Obtaining the W3 Lifestyle designation is not something that can be bought Only communities that have been invited can brag about being a W3 Lifestyle community

So who are we Our company was founded by someone that came from the Property Management industry Frustrated with the fact that there was no good place for

apartment renters to go to in order to find the best apartment communities - the W3 Lifestyle concept was born Our team is comprised of creative individuals who are always looking for new resident programs to enhance their lifestyles

What does it mean to be a W3 Lifestyle community It means not only having a physical amenity package but also having

a lifestyle amenity package We support our communities by offering customized monthly Newsletters to our W3 Lifestyle communities as well as consistent Community Events We also provide a full package of other programs such as

our Resident Appreciation program the customized Community Social Networks our Resident Touch program and so much more

So here is a question - with the above programs and services being offered to our W3 Lifestyle communities free of charge - why would any community NOT be a W3 Lifestyle community They either were not invited or were invited but did not want to commit to our standards That said where would you want to live If it is not a W3 Lifestyle community it simply isnrsquot worth living at

With a roller coaster economy high job unemployment and

increasing federal debt this is the time to take stock and ask yourself some important financial questions to make sure you keep your financial house in order Here are 5 important questions to ask yourself now

1 Do I have an exit strategy with my investments If the stock market has another free fall or your company stock takes a dive how will you put some sort of cushion to secure those assets which have grown over

the past year You should be asking yourself questions such as how far your money may go down before you exit the stock market or how much it needs to make before you might take some profit off the table Learn from the ups and downs you saw in the early 2000rsquos and in 20072008

2 Do I have enough of a cash reserve With job market uncertainty you want to make sure you beef up your cash reserve for at least three months more

than you would normally have If you are used to having 3 months in a cash

5 Financial Questions to Ask Yourself Right Now

ldquo I would recommend doubling your cash

reserverdquo

6 W3 LIFESTYLE - oXYGen Financial

reserve than I would recommend doubling it to 6 months to be more safe

3 Do I have a spending plan or budget in place If your income begins to expand again over the next couple of years I think it is critical that you keep your spending plan in check Make sure to save at least 10 of your income with the real target being 20 of your total income By really examining your budget now you can determine your wants versus your needs It is certainly a good idea to reward yourself from time to time but staying away from any unnecessary major purchases that are not in your budget will be a key to building wealth during the next up economic cycle

4 Are my insurance coveragersquos in place Even though the health care bill passed recently it is important to review your insurance coveragersquos from what you have at work to the personal insurance you currently carry If you lose your job or decide to leave many coveragersquos such as disability insurance go unnoticed until it is too late

5 Are my beneficiary designations

up to date With many people entering into second and third marriages with both spouses perhaps having kids from prior marriages it is important to make sure you review your beneficiary designations I often find that people donrsquot review these until it is too late

As more and more people get their financial homes in order asking yourself these five questions can help you run your family finances

like a business

Urban Outfitters upon arrival is filled with clothes books trinkets and music Itrsquos a hipsterrsquos thrift store boutique The style is modern vintage wrapped with boho chic Urban Outfitters has men and women clothing shoes bagswallets and accersories However their store doesnrsquot end at clothing they also have really cool and fun apartment stuff The Antoinette Fainting Chair is my newest crush

Urban Outfitters is also reasonably priced especially compared to their

sister store Anthropologie Here you can actually afford to buy what you see versus just lust after a piece of furniture or a new cardigan

They impressed me recently by mailing my new bedding in 3 days That was standard shipping Irsquom not saying that it happens everytime but I was really excited to get it in 3 days versus the standard 5 to 7 days My roommate also experienced the same results when she ordered a bathing suit and it came before she went out of town The quality of their products is also great

So my next adventure in shopping to purchase that Antoinette Fainting Chair It will go perfect with the amazing bedding I bought from Urban Outfitters

W3 Lifestyle began with one goal in mind - give apartment renters a place to go to find the absolute

best in the apartment industry No more ldquohopingrdquo you find the best or trying to ldquoguessrdquo who is the best based on those huge publications

If a community holds the W3 Lifestyle designation they have proven to be the Best of The Best and committed to superior service superior product quality superior living environments and the overall best place you could possibly live Much like other designations such as ldquoGood Housekeepingrdquo ldquoEnergy Starrdquo etc the W3 Lifestyle designation is one of top quality

Obtaining the W3 Lifestyle designation is not something that can be bought Only communities that have been invited can brag about being a W3 Lifestyle community

So who are we Our company was founded by someone that came from the Property Management industry Frustrated with the fact that there was no good place for

apartment renters to go to in order to find the best apartment communities - the W3 Lifestyle concept was born Our team is comprised of creative individuals who are always looking for new resident programs to enhance their lifestyles

What does it mean to be a W3 Lifestyle community It means not only having a physical amenity package but also having

a lifestyle amenity package We support our communities by offering customized monthly Newsletters to our W3 Lifestyle communities as well as consistent Community Events We also provide a full package of other programs such as

our Resident Appreciation program the customized Community Social Networks our Resident Touch program and so much more

So here is a question - with the above programs and services being offered to our W3 Lifestyle communities free of charge - why would any community NOT be a W3 Lifestyle community They either were not invited or were invited but did not want to commit to our standards That said where would you want to live If it is not a W3 Lifestyle community it simply isnrsquot worth living at

With a roller coaster economy high job unemployment and

increasing federal debt this is the time to take stock and ask yourself some important financial questions to make sure you keep your financial house in order Here are 5 important questions to ask yourself now

1 Do I have an exit strategy with my investments If the stock market has another free fall or your company stock takes a dive how will you put some sort of cushion to secure those assets which have grown over

the past year You should be asking yourself questions such as how far your money may go down before you exit the stock market or how much it needs to make before you might take some profit off the table Learn from the ups and downs you saw in the early 2000rsquos and in 20072008

2 Do I have enough of a cash reserve With job market uncertainty you want to make sure you beef up your cash reserve for at least three months more

than you would normally have If you are used to having 3 months in a cash

5 Financial Questions to Ask Yourself Right Now

ldquo I would recommend doubling your cash

reserverdquo

6 W3 LIFESTYLE - oXYGen Financial

reserve than I would recommend doubling it to 6 months to be more safe

3 Do I have a spending plan or budget in place If your income begins to expand again over the next couple of years I think it is critical that you keep your spending plan in check Make sure to save at least 10 of your income with the real target being 20 of your total income By really examining your budget now you can determine your wants versus your needs It is certainly a good idea to reward yourself from time to time but staying away from any unnecessary major purchases that are not in your budget will be a key to building wealth during the next up economic cycle

4 Are my insurance coveragersquos in place Even though the health care bill passed recently it is important to review your insurance coveragersquos from what you have at work to the personal insurance you currently carry If you lose your job or decide to leave many coveragersquos such as disability insurance go unnoticed until it is too late

5 Are my beneficiary designations

up to date With many people entering into second and third marriages with both spouses perhaps having kids from prior marriages it is important to make sure you review your beneficiary designations I often find that people donrsquot review these until it is too late

As more and more people get their financial homes in order asking yourself these five questions can help you run your family finances

partners as clients as friends as family even as lovers Not only has it become easier to stay in touch with people we already know it has become easier to find and connect with people wersquove never met before mdash and might not ever meet at all

Whether yoursquore looking for new customers a new audience a new business partner a new vendor new friends or a new one night stand you can maximize your use of the Internet and the wave of social networking sites that have cropped up to help us connect Doing even a few of these things will set you apart from the vast majority of people who view social

network sites as toys and networking as ldquojust for funrdquo (though it can be fun too) Have a clear purpose Know what yoursquore using a social networking site for While itrsquos ok to have a profile somewhere thatrsquos just for ldquohanging outrdquo you need to know that hanging out is its purpose If you are using a social networking site to try to build an audience connect with other professionals or meet your next wife it should be focused on achieving that end Donrsquot muddy the waters by trying to

Building Relationships 10 Ways to Get the Most Out of Social Networking Sites BY DUSTIN WAX

ldquo Know what yoursquore using a social networking site

forrdquo

16 W3 LIFESTYLE - COVER

how many people never do this Yet itrsquos the first thing people want to know about you Most people check all the boxes (Irsquom a Virgo in a relationshiphellip done) but donrsquot do much with the real ldquomeatrdquo of their profile the About Me section Put some thought into what you want people to know about you and why people should care

Donrsquot follow the leader It can be tempting to sit back and wait for people to contact you for people to leave comments for people to suggest installing some new application mdash rousing yourself only to respond to whatever prompts come your way Take the initiative and add people select a handful of apps you like and stick with them and update on a semi-regular basis (or a regular basis schedule 30 minutes a week to update your profile if itrsquos an important part of your public image)

Accept everyone There are two schools of thought on this create an inner circle of close colleagues comrades or companions or create a huge body of followers fans or ex-girl- and boyfriends I fall into the second camp mdash anyone who has taken the effort to ldquofriendrdquo me gets added Those are the people who are willing to invest their attention in what yoursquore doing who have given you permission to ldquobroadcastrdquo your life to them Welcome them

Add everyone you know no matter how little Most services these days will scan your address book and tell you if therersquos anyone you might already know onboard Some will also recommend people a on people you already know places yoursquove worked or interests yoursquove highlighted

Which of these do you use A couple or all Which do you prefer

COVER - W3 LIFESTYLE 17

(LinkedIn) is scarily good at this If you come across someone you actually know in ldquoreal liferdquo no matter how distantly add them That is after all the point of social networking mdash to leverage the often-invisible connections that exist between us and other people The worst that can happen is that they say ldquonordquo mdash this has never happened to me

Pick one or two networks and work them It can be tempting to sign up for dozens of social networking sites especially when different contacts turn up on different sites But itrsquos nearly impossible to make use of a dozen different sites unless you figure out how to make a career of it Instead pick one or two sites and focus all your energies on creating useful meaningful connections there

Send messages Find a reason to connect with the people in your network and send them a message once in a while Since the main point of this is to keep a channel of communication open it doesnrsquot have to be profound mdash a ldquohappy birthdayrdquo is good if the site reveals birthdays Donrsquot though make it all about you mdash that is donrsquot post a message to everyone in your list every time you update a picture go to work or leave your house (You laugh mdash Irsquove had friends that did this)

Have something to say Let people know why yoursquore there what your purpose is and what makes you you Give people a reason to pay attention to you Although most people in your circle will stay in your circle indefinitely if you donrsquot do anything at all having connections because theyrsquove forgotten yoursquore there is hardly the best use of a social network Post something to

your front page blog wall or whatever it is every now and then so that people learn something about you

Avoid clutter Remember when MySpace pages were awful and Facebook pages were clean and simple No more mdash now it takes about 8 minutes for your profile anywhere to get covered with junk If your page is so full of junk that nobody can tell anything important about you you might as well not have a page Limit yourself to only 3 or 4 extras and either stick with the default theme or try to find one thatrsquos clean and simple

Firewall your personal with business lives This might not apply to everyone but for most people once yoursquove decided to use a social networking site for business purposes donrsquot use it at all for non-business communication mdash and vice versa Remember that the story about you the goat and the magnum of champagne is going out to everyone yoursquove allowed to see your profile Thatrsquos not something you want to share with potential business partners If necessary create two profiles on the same site one for your business persona the other for your personal life instead of denying friend requests from friends and family you can just refer them to the other profile

Social networking sites have a reputation as being huge time wasters and for most people they are If you can afford that luxury more power to you for the rest of you really think about what social networking can do for you and focus your energies to making that work

Winery is a sight to be seen With the North Georgia Mountains as their backdrop they are surrounded by the beautiufl rows of vines This family owned business is known for producing the best wine in Georgia witht their European style blending and melodic tandums that often competes with California wines Those who visit Wolf Mountain are surprised to find a sophisticated pallete instead of the sweet tart wine that many expect from a Georgia winery

network sites as toys and networking as ldquojust for funrdquo (though it can be fun too) Have a clear purpose Know what yoursquore using a social networking site for While itrsquos ok to have a profile somewhere thatrsquos just for ldquohanging outrdquo you need to know that hanging out is its purpose If you are using a social networking site to try to build an audience connect with other professionals or meet your next wife it should be focused on achieving that end Donrsquot muddy the waters by trying to

Building Relationships 10 Ways to Get the Most Out of Social Networking Sites BY DUSTIN WAX

ldquo Know what yoursquore using a social networking site

forrdquo

16 W3 LIFESTYLE - COVER

how many people never do this Yet itrsquos the first thing people want to know about you Most people check all the boxes (Irsquom a Virgo in a relationshiphellip done) but donrsquot do much with the real ldquomeatrdquo of their profile the About Me section Put some thought into what you want people to know about you and why people should care

Donrsquot follow the leader It can be tempting to sit back and wait for people to contact you for people to leave comments for people to suggest installing some new application mdash rousing yourself only to respond to whatever prompts come your way Take the initiative and add people select a handful of apps you like and stick with them and update on a semi-regular basis (or a regular basis schedule 30 minutes a week to update your profile if itrsquos an important part of your public image)

Accept everyone There are two schools of thought on this create an inner circle of close colleagues comrades or companions or create a huge body of followers fans or ex-girl- and boyfriends I fall into the second camp mdash anyone who has taken the effort to ldquofriendrdquo me gets added Those are the people who are willing to invest their attention in what yoursquore doing who have given you permission to ldquobroadcastrdquo your life to them Welcome them

Add everyone you know no matter how little Most services these days will scan your address book and tell you if therersquos anyone you might already know onboard Some will also recommend people a on people you already know places yoursquove worked or interests yoursquove highlighted

Which of these do you use A couple or all Which do you prefer

COVER - W3 LIFESTYLE 17

(LinkedIn) is scarily good at this If you come across someone you actually know in ldquoreal liferdquo no matter how distantly add them That is after all the point of social networking mdash to leverage the often-invisible connections that exist between us and other people The worst that can happen is that they say ldquonordquo mdash this has never happened to me

Pick one or two networks and work them It can be tempting to sign up for dozens of social networking sites especially when different contacts turn up on different sites But itrsquos nearly impossible to make use of a dozen different sites unless you figure out how to make a career of it Instead pick one or two sites and focus all your energies on creating useful meaningful connections there

Send messages Find a reason to connect with the people in your network and send them a message once in a while Since the main point of this is to keep a channel of communication open it doesnrsquot have to be profound mdash a ldquohappy birthdayrdquo is good if the site reveals birthdays Donrsquot though make it all about you mdash that is donrsquot post a message to everyone in your list every time you update a picture go to work or leave your house (You laugh mdash Irsquove had friends that did this)

Have something to say Let people know why yoursquore there what your purpose is and what makes you you Give people a reason to pay attention to you Although most people in your circle will stay in your circle indefinitely if you donrsquot do anything at all having connections because theyrsquove forgotten yoursquore there is hardly the best use of a social network Post something to

your front page blog wall or whatever it is every now and then so that people learn something about you

Avoid clutter Remember when MySpace pages were awful and Facebook pages were clean and simple No more mdash now it takes about 8 minutes for your profile anywhere to get covered with junk If your page is so full of junk that nobody can tell anything important about you you might as well not have a page Limit yourself to only 3 or 4 extras and either stick with the default theme or try to find one thatrsquos clean and simple

Firewall your personal with business lives This might not apply to everyone but for most people once yoursquove decided to use a social networking site for business purposes donrsquot use it at all for non-business communication mdash and vice versa Remember that the story about you the goat and the magnum of champagne is going out to everyone yoursquove allowed to see your profile Thatrsquos not something you want to share with potential business partners If necessary create two profiles on the same site one for your business persona the other for your personal life instead of denying friend requests from friends and family you can just refer them to the other profile

Social networking sites have a reputation as being huge time wasters and for most people they are If you can afford that luxury more power to you for the rest of you really think about what social networking can do for you and focus your energies to making that work

Our own local bridal boutique Bridals By Lori will be coming to TLC on

August 6th with ldquoYes to the Dress Atlantardquo Irsquom definantly

looking foward to this show because I recently

went to the store with my roommate whorsquos engaged The experience was great

however they put her into a dress above her price point

that she fell in love with so Irsquom eager to see what

shenanigans they will pull on the show They also seem

a little more sassy than the original ldquoSay Yes to the

Dressrdquo in New York

I have a new obsession Urban Outiffitters Since I first stepped

into the store earlier this year I have been visiting their website online and checking out the new deals Lucky for me they happen to have deals daily

Urban Outfitters upon arrival is filled with clothes books trinkets and music Itrsquos a hipsterrsquos thrift store boutique The style is modern vintage wrapped with boho chic Urban Outfitters has men and women clothing shoes bagswallets and accersories However their store doesnrsquot end at clothing they also have really cool and fun apartment stuff The Antoinette Fainting Chair is my newest crush

Urban Outfitters is also reasonably priced especially compared to their

sister store Anthropologie Here you can actually afford to buy what you see versus just lust after a piece of furniture or a new cardigan

They impressed me recently by mailing my new bedding in 3 days That was standard shipping Irsquom not saying that it happens everytime but I was really excited to get it in 3 days versus the standard 5 to 7 days My roommate also experienced the same results when she ordered a bathing suit and it came before she went out of town The quality of their products is also great

So my next adventure in shopping to purchase that Antoinette Fainting Chair It will go perfect with the amazing bedding I bought from Urban Outfitters

There are a number of websites

promoting DVDs that sell do it yourself exercises on how to manage back pain While this may be normal and aimed to improving the general health of the population some of these products may have been prepared by untrained non-professionals

Exercises to ease back pain can be categorized as among those that are highly risky If not properly executed it may lead to greater loses Therefore in choosing exercises to ease back pain it is essentially important to select only those that are safe and efficient

Below are a couple of exercises that are considered to be both safe and effective

28 W3 LIFESTYLE - WELLNESS

How to EaseBack PainSafe and Effective ExcercisesBy Humayun Altaf ezinearticlescom

Check them outYoga Classes This meridian treatment is based on time long alternative therapy that is able to heal the body through encouraging positive energy It involves taking some simple exercises on regular and almost religious intervals It may often be accompanied by meditation By participating in yoga and meditation one is provided with information that will enable one to reduce stress immensely

Exercises that You Enjoy These are exercises that you would often do on your own For example a tummy stretch is an exercise that you can conduct while staying at home Sit-ups are also simple exercises that can be done at home

Simple but Regular You need not to strain in performing exercises to ease back pain This is because it might create dangerous moves that may further complicate a hurting back The secret is in doing one simple but regular exercise

P h y s i o t h e r a p y E x e r c i s e s A physiotherapist is one such person who is trained on how to refocus certain muscles and make them work normally This is the person who will be best placed to advice you on how to manage a severe back pain This can often be managed in combination with tables or pills that either reduce pain or

increase the cartilage formation

Regular massage using aromatherapy or herbal remedies have also been shown to be effective exercises to ease back pain These can be purchased from online shops and they often come with compete manuals on how to use them

The ultimate goal of the exercises is to increase blood flow to these back muscles or the lumbar Moreover this results in faster bone formation and reduction in pain

Where the exercises do not seem to improve the condition then you may need to visit an expert who might help you out

ldquoExcercising helps ease back pain

versus just restingrdquo

Nationwide crackdowns on texting while driving has gotten even more enforced in

some states with law getting involved Here are some useful facts and differences between the different cell phone laws

Handheld Cell Phones 8 states (Calif Conn Del Md NJ NY Ore and Wash) DC and the Virgin Islands prohibit all drivers from using handheld cell phones while driving Except for Maryland all laws are primary enforcementmdashan officer may cite a driver for using a handheld cell phone without any other traffic offense taking place

All Cell Phone Use No state bans all cell phone use (handheld and hands-free) for all drivers but many prohibit all cell phone use by certain drivers Novice Drivers 28 states and DC ban all cell phone use by novice drivers

School Bus Drivers Bus drivers in 18 states and DC may not use a cell phone when passengers are present

Text Messaging 30 states DC and Guam ban text messaging for all drivers 11 of these laws

were enacted in 2010 26 states DC and Guam have primary enforcement In the other four texting bans are secondary Novice Drivers An additional 8 states prohibit text messaging by novice drivers

School Bus Drivers 2 states restrict school bus drivers from texting while driving

Some states such as Maine NH and Utah treat cell phone use and texting as part of a larger distracted driving issue In Utah cellphone use is an offense only if a driver is also committing some other moving violation (other than speeding)

Crash Data Collection Many states include a category for cell phoneelectronic equipment distraction on police accident report forms Recently proposed federal legislation would require states to collect this data in order to qualify for certain federal funding

Preemption Laws Many localities have passed their own distracted driving bans However some states ndash such as Fla Ky La Miss Nev and Okla ndash prohibit localities from enacting such laws

3 Do I have a spending plan or budget in place If your income begins to expand again over the next couple of years I think it is critical that you keep your spending plan in check Make sure to save at least 10 of your income with the real target being 20 of your total income By really examining your budget now you can determine your wants versus your needs It is certainly a good idea to reward yourself from time to time but staying away from any unnecessary major purchases that are not in your budget will be a key to building wealth during the next up economic cycle

4 Are my insurance coveragersquos in place Even though the health care bill passed recently it is important to review your insurance coveragersquos from what you have at work to the personal insurance you currently carry If you lose your job or decide to leave many coveragersquos such as disability insurance go unnoticed until it is too late

5 Are my beneficiary designations

up to date With many people entering into second and third marriages with both spouses perhaps having kids from prior marriages it is important to make sure you review your beneficiary designations I often find that people donrsquot review these until it is too late

As more and more people get their financial homes in order asking yourself these five questions can help you run your family finances

Regarded as one of the best movies of the summer ldquoInceptionrdquo is directed by ldquoDark Knightrdquo and stars

Leonardo DiCaprio and ldquoJunorsquosrdquo Ellen Page When I first saw the trailor I was instantly intrigued it was action packed and full of mystery

The movie is about a theif in a technological world who specializes in stealing the deepest secrets from the subconscious of others He and his team are given a chance to redeem themselves by commiting the perfect heist create an idea in someonersquos subconscious Itrsquos dark and keeps my attention Not to mention the handsome Leonardo DiCaprio gives a worthy performance as usual ldquoInceptionrdquo really shows off his skill This is a movie that keeps you thinking and keeps your attention Also as a fan of Stanley Kubrick this movie brings me back to his style of dramatic images with the dreams that are shown

I was impressed with the visual and storyline detail that ldquoInceptionrdquo brought to the table According to the Box Office rankings Irsquom not the only one who enjoyed this comlex story Itrsquos in itrsquos third week as number one and the second highest grossing science fiction movie just behind ldquoAvatarrdquo I give it 5 STARS

New TV Lineups

Our own local bridal boutique Bridals By Lori will be coming to TLC on

August 6th with ldquoYes to the Dress Atlantardquo Irsquom definantly

looking foward to this show because I recently

went to the store with my roommate whorsquos engaged The experience was great

however they put her into a dress above her price point

that she fell in love with so Irsquom eager to see what

shenanigans they will pull on the show They also seem

a little more sassy than the original ldquoSay Yes to the

Dressrdquo in New York

I have a new obsession Urban Outiffitters Since I first stepped

into the store earlier this year I have been visiting their website online and checking out the new deals Lucky for me they happen to have deals daily

Urban Outfitters upon arrival is filled with clothes books trinkets and music Itrsquos a hipsterrsquos thrift store boutique The style is modern vintage wrapped with boho chic Urban Outfitters has men and women clothing shoes bagswallets and accersories However their store doesnrsquot end at clothing they also have really cool and fun apartment stuff The Antoinette Fainting Chair is my newest crush

Urban Outfitters is also reasonably priced especially compared to their

sister store Anthropologie Here you can actually afford to buy what you see versus just lust after a piece of furniture or a new cardigan

They impressed me recently by mailing my new bedding in 3 days That was standard shipping Irsquom not saying that it happens everytime but I was really excited to get it in 3 days versus the standard 5 to 7 days My roommate also experienced the same results when she ordered a bathing suit and it came before she went out of town The quality of their products is also great

So my next adventure in shopping to purchase that Antoinette Fainting Chair It will go perfect with the amazing bedding I bought from Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters is also reasonably priced especially compared to their

sister store Anthropologie Here you can actually afford to buy what you see versus just lust after a piece of furniture or a new cardigan

They impressed me recently by mailing my new bedding in 3 days That was standard shipping Irsquom not saying that it happens everytime but I was really excited to get it in 3 days versus the standard 5 to 7 days My roommate also experienced the same results when she ordered a bathing suit and it came before she went out of town The quality of their products is also great

how many people never do this Yet itrsquos the first thing people want to know about you Most people check all the boxes (Irsquom a Virgo in a relationshiphellip done) but donrsquot do much with the real ldquomeatrdquo of their profile the About Me section Put some thought into what you want people to know about you and why people should care

Donrsquot follow the leader It can be tempting to sit back and wait for people to contact you for people to leave comments for people to suggest installing some new application mdash rousing yourself only to respond to whatever prompts come your way Take the initiative and add people select a handful of apps you like and stick with them and update on a semi-regular basis (or a regular basis schedule 30 minutes a week to update your profile if itrsquos an important part of your public image)

Accept everyone There are two schools of thought on this create an inner circle of close colleagues comrades or companions or create a huge body of followers fans or ex-girl- and boyfriends I fall into the second camp mdash anyone who has taken the effort to ldquofriendrdquo me gets added Those are the people who are willing to invest their attention in what yoursquore doing who have given you permission to ldquobroadcastrdquo your life to them Welcome them

Add everyone you know no matter how little Most services these days will scan your address book and tell you if therersquos anyone you might already know onboard Some will also recommend people a on people you already know places yoursquove worked or interests yoursquove highlighted

Which of these do you use A couple or all Which do you prefer

(LinkedIn) is scarily good at this If you come across someone you actually know in ldquoreal liferdquo no matter how distantly add them That is after all the point of social networking mdash to leverage the often-invisible connections that exist between us and other people The worst that can happen is that they say ldquonordquo mdash this has never happened to me

Pick one or two networks and work them It can be tempting to sign up for dozens of social networking sites especially when different contacts turn up on different sites But itrsquos nearly impossible to make use of a dozen different sites unless you figure out how to make a career of it Instead pick one or two sites and focus all your energies on creating useful meaningful connections there

Send messages Find a reason to connect with the people in your network and send them a message once in a while Since the main point of this is to keep a channel of communication open it doesnrsquot have to be profound mdash a ldquohappy birthdayrdquo is good if the site reveals birthdays Donrsquot though make it all about you mdash that is donrsquot post a message to everyone in your list every time you update a picture go to work or leave your house (You laugh mdash Irsquove had friends that did this)

Have something to say Let people know why yoursquore there what your purpose is and what makes you you Give people a reason to pay attention to you Although most people in your circle will stay in your circle indefinitely if you donrsquot do anything at all having connections because theyrsquove forgotten yoursquore there is hardly the best use of a social network Post something to

your front page blog wall or whatever it is every now and then so that people learn something about you

Avoid clutter Remember when MySpace pages were awful and Facebook pages were clean and simple No more mdash now it takes about 8 minutes for your profile anywhere to get covered with junk If your page is so full of junk that nobody can tell anything important about you you might as well not have a page Limit yourself to only 3 or 4 extras and either stick with the default theme or try to find one thatrsquos clean and simple

Firewall your personal with business lives This might not apply to everyone but for most people once yoursquove decided to use a social networking site for business purposes donrsquot use it at all for non-business communication mdash and vice versa Remember that the story about you the goat and the magnum of champagne is going out to everyone yoursquove allowed to see your profile Thatrsquos not something you want to share with potential business partners If necessary create two profiles on the same site one for your business persona the other for your personal life instead of denying friend requests from friends and family you can just refer them to the other profile

Social networking sites have a reputation as being huge time wasters and for most people they are If you can afford that luxury more power to you for the rest of you really think about what social networking can do for you and focus your energies to making that work

how many people never do this Yet itrsquos the first thing people want to know about you Most people check all the boxes (Irsquom a Virgo in a relationshiphellip done) but donrsquot do much with the real ldquomeatrdquo of their profile the About Me section Put some thought into what you want people to know about you and why people should care

Donrsquot follow the leader It can be tempting to sit back and wait for people to contact you for people to leave comments for people to suggest installing some new application mdash rousing yourself only to respond to whatever prompts come your way Take the initiative and add people select a handful of apps you like and stick with them and update on a semi-regular basis (or a regular basis schedule 30 minutes a week to update your profile if itrsquos an important part of your public image)

Accept everyone There are two schools of thought on this create an inner circle of close colleagues comrades or companions or create a huge body of followers fans or ex-girl- and boyfriends I fall into the second camp mdash anyone who has taken the effort to ldquofriendrdquo me gets added Those are the people who are willing to invest their attention in what yoursquore doing who have given you permission to ldquobroadcastrdquo your life to them Welcome them

Add everyone you know no matter how little Most services these days will scan your address book and tell you if therersquos anyone you might already know onboard Some will also recommend people a on people you already know places yoursquove worked or interests yoursquove highlighted

Which of these do you use A couple or all Which do you prefer

(LinkedIn) is scarily good at this If you come across someone you actually know in ldquoreal liferdquo no matter how distantly add them That is after all the point of social networking mdash to leverage the often-invisible connections that exist between us and other people The worst that can happen is that they say ldquonordquo mdash this has never happened to me

Pick one or two networks and work them It can be tempting to sign up for dozens of social networking sites especially when different contacts turn up on different sites But itrsquos nearly impossible to make use of a dozen different sites unless you figure out how to make a career of it Instead pick one or two sites and focus all your energies on creating useful meaningful connections there

Send messages Find a reason to connect with the people in your network and send them a message once in a while Since the main point of this is to keep a channel of communication open it doesnrsquot have to be profound mdash a ldquohappy birthdayrdquo is good if the site reveals birthdays Donrsquot though make it all about you mdash that is donrsquot post a message to everyone in your list every time you update a picture go to work or leave your house (You laugh mdash Irsquove had friends that did this)

Have something to say Let people know why yoursquore there what your purpose is and what makes you you Give people a reason to pay attention to you Although most people in your circle will stay in your circle indefinitely if you donrsquot do anything at all having connections because theyrsquove forgotten yoursquore there is hardly the best use of a social network Post something to

your front page blog wall or whatever it is every now and then so that people learn something about you

Avoid clutter Remember when MySpace pages were awful and Facebook pages were clean and simple No more mdash now it takes about 8 minutes for your profile anywhere to get covered with junk If your page is so full of junk that nobody can tell anything important about you you might as well not have a page Limit yourself to only 3 or 4 extras and either stick with the default theme or try to find one thatrsquos clean and simple

Firewall your personal with business lives This might not apply to everyone but for most people once yoursquove decided to use a social networking site for business purposes donrsquot use it at all for non-business communication mdash and vice versa Remember that the story about you the goat and the magnum of champagne is going out to everyone yoursquove allowed to see your profile Thatrsquos not something you want to share with potential business partners If necessary create two profiles on the same site one for your business persona the other for your personal life instead of denying friend requests from friends and family you can just refer them to the other profile

Social networking sites have a reputation as being huge time wasters and for most people they are If you can afford that luxury more power to you for the rest of you really think about what social networking can do for you and focus your energies to making that work

how many people never do this Yet itrsquos the first thing people want to know about you Most people check all the boxes (Irsquom a Virgo in a relationshiphellip done) but donrsquot do much with the real ldquomeatrdquo of their profile the About Me section Put some thought into what you want people to know about you and why people should care

Donrsquot follow the leader It can be tempting to sit back and wait for people to contact you for people to leave comments for people to suggest installing some new application mdash rousing yourself only to respond to whatever prompts come your way Take the initiative and add people select a handful of apps you like and stick with them and update on a semi-regular basis (or a regular basis schedule 30 minutes a week to update your profile if itrsquos an important part of your public image)

Accept everyone There are two schools of thought on this create an inner circle of close colleagues comrades or companions or create a huge body of followers fans or ex-girl- and boyfriends I fall into the second camp mdash anyone who has taken the effort to ldquofriendrdquo me gets added Those are the people who are willing to invest their attention in what yoursquore doing who have given you permission to ldquobroadcastrdquo your life to them Welcome them

Add everyone you know no matter how little Most services these days will scan your address book and tell you if therersquos anyone you might already know onboard Some will also recommend people a on people you already know places yoursquove worked or interests yoursquove highlighted

Which of these do you use A couple or all Which do you prefer

Pick one or two networks and work them It can be tempting to sign up for dozens of social networking sites especially when different contacts turn up on different sites But itrsquos nearly impossible to make use of a dozen different sites unless you figure out how to make a career of it Instead pick one or two sites and focus all your energies on creating useful meaningful connections there

Send messages Find a reason to connect with the people in your network and send them a message once in a while Since the main point of this is to keep a channel of communication open it doesnrsquot have to be profound mdash a ldquohappy birthdayrdquo is good if the site reveals birthdays Donrsquot though make it all about you mdash that is donrsquot post a message to everyone in your list every time you update a picture go to work or leave your house (You laugh mdash Irsquove had friends that did this)

Have something to say Let people know why yoursquore there what your purpose is and what makes you you Give people a reason to pay attention to you Although most people in your circle will stay in your circle indefinitely if you donrsquot do anything at all having connections because theyrsquove forgotten yoursquore there is hardly the best use of a social network Post something to

your front page blog wall or whatever it is every now and then so that people learn something about you

Avoid clutter Remember when MySpace pages were awful and Facebook pages were clean and simple No more mdash now it takes about 8 minutes for your profile anywhere to get covered with junk If your page is so full of junk that nobody can tell anything important about you you might as well not have a page Limit yourself to only 3 or 4 extras and either stick with the default theme or try to find one thatrsquos clean and simple

Firewall your personal with business lives This might not apply to everyone but for most people once yoursquove decided to use a social networking site for business purposes donrsquot use it at all for non-business communication mdash and vice versa Remember that the story about you the goat and the magnum of champagne is going out to everyone yoursquove allowed to see your profile Thatrsquos not something you want to share with potential business partners If necessary create two profiles on the same site one for your business persona the other for your personal life instead of denying friend requests from friends and family you can just refer them to the other profile

Social networking sites have a reputation as being huge time wasters and for most people they are If you can afford that luxury more power to you for the rest of you really think about what social networking can do for you and focus your energies to making that work

looking foward to this show because I recently

I have a new obsession Urban Outiffitters Since I first stepped

Urban Outfitters upon arrival is filled with clothes books trinkets and music Itrsquos a hipsterrsquos thrift store boutique The style is modern vintage wrapped with boho chic Urban Outfitters has men and women clothing shoes bagswallets and accersories However their store doesnrsquot end at clothing they also have really cool and fun apartment stuff The Antoinette Fainting Chair is my newest crush

Urban Outfitters is also reasonably priced especially compared to their

sister store Anthropologie Here you can actually afford to buy what you see versus just lust after a piece of furniture or a new cardigan

They impressed me recently by mailing my new bedding in 3 days That was standard shipping Irsquom not saying that it happens everytime but I was really excited to get it in 3 days versus the standard 5 to 7 days My roommate also experienced the same results when she ordered a bathing suit and it came before she went out of town The quality of their products is also great

So my next adventure in shopping to purchase that Antoinette Fainting Chair It will go perfect with the amazing bedding I bought from Urban Outfitters

New TV Lineups

Our own local bridal boutique Bridals By Lori will be coming to TLC on

August 6th with ldquoYes to the Dress Atlantardquo Irsquom definantly

looking foward to this show because I recently

went to the store with my roommate whorsquos engaged The experience was great

however they put her into a dress above her price point

that she fell in love with so Irsquom eager to see what

shenanigans they will pull on the show They also seem

a little more sassy than the original ldquoSay Yes to the

Dressrdquo in New York

I have a new obsession Urban Outiffitters Since I first stepped

into the store earlier this year I have been visiting their website online and checking out the new deals Lucky for me they happen to have deals daily

Urban Outfitters upon arrival is filled with clothes books trinkets and music Itrsquos a hipsterrsquos thrift store boutique The style is modern vintage wrapped with boho chic Urban Outfitters has men and women clothing shoes bagswallets and accersories However their store doesnrsquot end at clothing they also have really cool and fun apartment stuff The Antoinette Fainting Chair is my newest crush

Urban Outfitters is also reasonably priced especially compared to their

sister store Anthropologie Here you can actually afford to buy what you see versus just lust after a piece of furniture or a new cardigan

They impressed me recently by mailing my new bedding in 3 days That was standard shipping Irsquom not saying that it happens everytime but I was really excited to get it in 3 days versus the standard 5 to 7 days My roommate also experienced the same results when she ordered a bathing suit and it came before she went out of town The quality of their products is also great

So my next adventure in shopping to purchase that Antoinette Fainting Chair It will go perfect with the amazing bedding I bought from Urban Outfitters
