In the confusing world of cell phone carriers, finding the right carrier and the right plan to fill your needs can be a daunting task. One carrier that stands out, and has nationwide name recognition is AT&T Wireless. A major problem for cell phone users is poor coverage outside of major urban areas like Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, New Orleans or Washington D.C. However AT&T uses a new Technology Time Division Access (TDMA is also used by Cingular). Analog roaming services are available almost everywhere in the U.S.

Calling plans with AT&T start as low as $39.95 s month. This plan allows 450 daytime minutes and unlimited night and weekend minutes. What AT&T customers really seem to enjoy are such features as the AT&T Connect or Teleconcierge. Operators quickly find numbers for anyplace, anywhere in the U.S., make reservations for you, get local movie times, and call back to confirm your dinner reservations. Other unique services include stock quotes, event listings, weather reports, and daily horoscopes.

One increasingly popular type of cell phone plan is pre-paid calling plans. AT&T offers the Go Phone with pre-paid plans, free unlimited night and weekend minutes, no contracts to sign, no credit check or activation fee, or deposit. They also offer Free 2 Go Wireless Solutions, also pre-paid with no contracts or credit checks. However the Go Phone plan gives you the unlimited free off prime minutes, lower per minute prices, wider choice of AT&T cell phones, and more choices of AT&T ring tones, and choices in payment options. For instance you can even set up a plan to have your credit or debit card to automatically add to your account when the minutes get low. The AT&T Go Phone plan also offers lower international dialing rates to its Go Phone customers.

Recently AT&T began to offer a new type of digital phone service known as GSM/GPRS, which provides a true 56 kilobyte per second internet connection speed for lap top computers hooked up to the GSM phone line or that use a GSM plug in cord. Remember though that the rates for this service is high with 400 voice minutes and one megabyte of data transmission can add $50.00 to your regular monthly bill. AT&T’s numerous plans, versatile payment options and TDMA and GSM technology have helped placed AT&T near the top of successful cellular phone carriers.

With formal hairstyling trends taking a step back from the rigidly crafted styles of yesterday, today’s wedding hair styles are free, natural and a great deal easier to attain than they were a few years ago. But even though this is true, the bridal hair style is probably the most important style that you are going to choose for quite a while so it is best served by a little research and practice before the big day.

On your wedding day, hundreds of eyes will be on you, and your chosen bridal hair style can either complete the picture or detract from it. That is why it is so important to choose the perfect formal hairstyle well in advance of the big day so that you and your stylist can get it right and make custom additions to your wedding hair style. Nothing is worse than a hastily crafted coif decided upon only minutes before the ceremony.

You can begin your search for the perfect bridal hair styles and bridesmaid hair styles by browsing through style books that highlight formal updos and popular wedding hair styles. While looking, keep in mind the style of dress that you have selected and choose wedding hair styles that compliment the style, era and cut of the dress. The same thing goes for your bridesmaids dresses.

Another important thing to consider when choosing bridal hair styles are the styles, lengths and textures of the bridal party’s hair. For example: if every member of the bridal party save one has short hair, selecting a French Twist as your only bridesmaid hair style would not be very feasible. But you could do a French Twist on the one member with long hair and select different wedding hair styles for the rest of the party as long as it doesn’t bother you that everyone is not going to look identical.

When it comes to coordinating your wedding hair styles for your wedding party, you do not have to choose cookie-cutter styles for each member of the party. Look instead at bridal hair styles that compliment each member’s personality, facial structure and hair texture. Let your wedding party members have some say in how they would like to wear their hair and set some practical guidelines such as whether or not the bridesmaid hair style should be pinned up off of the neck or allowed to flow free down the back.

Then, coordinate the individual bridal hair styles by using matching accessories and placing them in similar patterns on each member. These pointers apply for the bridal party only; the bridal hair style should set the bride apart from the others and be more intricate and beautiful than all other wedding hair styles chosen by members of the wedding party.

Once all bridal hair styles have been chosen, have a practice run where all of the ladies meet at the same salon and allow the stylists that are going to do the wedding party’s hair on the big day have a crack at crafting the intricate wedding hair styles that you have chosen. While it may cost you a little bit of money to do this, it will save you a great deal of headache on the big day.

Remember Jerry Hall, the model who married Mick Jagger? Jerry was
famous for making this statement:

“My mother said it was simple to keep a man. You must be a maid in the
living room, a cook in the kitchen, and a whore in the bedroom.”

If keeping a man meant all that work, I’d have stayed single.

In addition to that pearl of wisdom, Ms. Hall offered this one: “Even
if you have only two seconds, drop everything and give him (oral sex).
That way he won’t really want sex with anyone else.”

Poor Jerry. Too bad her mother didn’t tell her that if a man tends to
want sex with “anyone else,” he’s not great husband material.

Sadly, despite all her hard work, Mick Jagger continued to have sex
with other people and fathered a child with another model during his
marriage to Hall. They are now divorced. So much for keeping a man!

The point? No guy is worth running yourself ragged for. Instead of
appreciating your efforts, he will likely take you for granted and come to
resent you. Think about it: Do you fall for guys who are at your beck
and call all the time? They’re great for helping you move, but you
probably wouldn’t marry one.

All right. Let’s say you decide to move in with a guy. Before you run
out to Bed Bath & Beyond, it’s absolutely imperative that you talk to
your boyfriend about sharing household chores. It’s not romantic, but
you’ll save yourself much misery in the end. And whatever you do, don’t
get off on the wrong foot by cooking dinner every night and doing his
laundry.

Resist any and all impulses to “wife and mother” the guy. Otherwise,
he’ll take you for granted, or even worse, marry you and expect you to be
his servant for the rest of your life. And that’s definitely not
romantic!

Allow a man to cook for you for a change. Let him do your laundry every
now and then. There’s no reason to expect him to be your maid in the
living room, cook in the kitchen, or whore in the bedroom, but every
once in a while it wouldn’t hurt.

Remember: You have a lot to offer (if you don’t believe me, take
out a pen and paper and write down a list of the qualities that make
you special; emphasize things like your sense of
humor, leave off your ability to fold a fitted sheet).

Don’t let a guy do you any favors. Keep this in mind: You’re a great
girl, and he’d be lucky to have you.
