There are so many signs that businesses can pick from. They can choose to advertise their store name or logo in neon lights. But there are a few must-have signage that every business establishment should have. These are the open signs, restroom signs and thank you, come again signs.

Business signs and open signs are among the things you need to have for your establishment. These items are very important to make people recognize the establishment and they would know where the store is located.

Restroom signs are equally important. People wouldn’t feel comfortable shopping if they have near to bursting bladders. Customers will feel relieved with the knowledge that they can get themselves that much needed comfort anytime if they see restroom signs. This sounds very strange, but in many public places like airports, post offices, or other government buildings, there are actually some building codes that require restroom signs to be designed to a particular standard. These signs are often even checked by inspectors to make sure they are clear to read and understand, and also can put up with a level of use and abuse. Many of the ones you find in public will also have braille that need to be clear for blind people to read.

Thank You, Come Again signs are silent ways of saying thank you to the customers for visiting your store. The “come again” part serves as a quiet invitation to them to revisit your business in the near future.

These must-have-signs are not limited to these three items. You should also include fire exit signs, no smoking sign, parking lot signs, first aid signs and more.

If you are unsure where to get these signs, that’s easy! You may Choose from seton’s large selection of signs for your business.

Although some people may not realize it, signs are extremely significant to businesses. Not only do they attract automatic attention, but they also work as great identifiers.

Without any signs, businesses will get lost in the crowd. Make sure your business stands out from the crowd.

AlexandAlexa, a retail site for designer children’s clothing, is sponsoring the event which takes place March 18^th – 20^th at the Freemason’s Hall in Holborn, London. During the two-day extravaganza, there will be fashion shows, performances and plenty of fun activities for kids and their parents. There are two primary events. The first is press-only and meant to showcase the Autumn 2013/2014 trends. The second show is open to the public with ticket access.

Long gone are the days when kids wore oversized sweatshirts, souvenir T-shirts and ordinary tennis shoes. Children and parents are stepping the game up with high-end, flashy footwear and adult-like accessories. Just look at young Suri Cruise who has been wearing kitten heels and the some top designers in the world like Dolce & Gabbana or little Mason Disk (Kourtney Kardashian’s son) who dressed to the nines every day just like his father Scott Disk.

With such popular trendsetters like Cruize, Honor Warren (Jessica Alba’s Daughter), the Beckham boys, the Zolie-Pitt crew and other mini celebs, kids fashion has become a major industry. Luxury brands that once catered to women and men of high society are now branching out and embracing the unique fashions inspired by little tykes. The most expensive designers like Osar de la Renta, Fendi, Roberto Cavalli and Phillip Lim are creating pieces for the pint-sized fashion divas. It is estimated that in the UK alone, the luxury childrenswear market is worth £500 million in the UK alone.

GKFW will feature designers that are both established and emerging; providing a range of prices and styles that fit every family’s need. Luxury labels such as Little Marc Jacobs, Pual Smith Junior, Chloe, Junior Gaultier, Suzanne Erminn, Anne Kurris, Supertrash and I Pinco Pallino. Other popular brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Diesel Juciy Couture and Wild Fox will be present. While these established lines are quite the buzz, they aren’t dominating the entire market. Emerging brands UK-founded Rachel Riley, the rocker-chic line Finger in the nose, and the artistic, Australian brand Munster Kids will all be showing their playful collections. These and other brands are quickly gaining notoriety as they are becoming household names around the world.

The goal of GKFW is to generate awareness of children’s fashion and inspire parents and their mini-me’s to have fun with it. Since fashion is fun, alexandalexa is partnering with the V&A Museum of Childhood to bring kids exciting and entertaining activities during the special event. All proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated to the charity partner for GKFW, Kids Company.

Dance lovers, on the other hand, strutted their stuff with BODYJAM, which uses the latest sounds of hip hop, funk and latin music with the latest hits, SH’BAM, which showcases the hottest club-friendly dance moves and RETROPOP, a dance class based on moves and music from 70’s disco and 80’s electro.

“We’re doing things on a grander scale this year,” says Fitness First National Group Exercise Manager Yee Sin Theo. “We flew in instructors from Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and New Zealand to make Fitness Xplosion 2 the best fitness marathon yet.”

One of the event’s special guests, Gandalf Archer, Fitness First BodyJam Program Director from New Zealand, said that he’s excited to be back in the country. “Whenever I teach classes in the Philippines, there’s always this different kind of vibe, like a feeling of ecstasy,” shares Gandalf.

Capping off the day-long workout event was a house dance party led by Gandalf himself, where the crowd enjoyed learning various dance styles and techniques around a continuous mix of heart-pounding music.

“Today’s participants really gave their all and were very energetic,” says Yee Sin Theo. “We’re definitely pushing for another fitness marathon event like this one next year.”

It seems fitting that “Ruby Sparks,” a romantic fable about how two people weave a love story in and out of reality, was brought to life by a married pair of directors (Dayton & Faris) working with two actors who are also a devoted couple (Dano and Kazan). A sharp, modern take on the Pygmalion myth, “Ruby Sparks” is the story of a novelist’s vision who inexplicably comes to life, only to prove far more complicated than even he could have imagined. With a light touch and a dash of magical realism, the first screenplay from actress and playwright Zoe Kazan attracted the attention of Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris, the married team who directed the run-away hit “Little Miss Sunshine.” The film takes an unpredictable route into fantasy, identity and the ways we invent love – and how love can re-invent us.

The duo decided to approach the story not as a sci-fi fantasy, but as something that is currently happening in the everyday world, no matter how bizarre it might seem to Calvin. “Even though the story is built around a fictional premise, it illuminates so many truths about relationships. We felt it was essential for the scenes to feel real and honest,” explains Dayton.

On the premise’s conception, Kazan shared that “I started wondering what might happen if a writer had a character come to life who could give him exactly what he thought he wanted romantically. How do you love the person you’re with completely without saying ‘I don’t want this part or that part?’ How do you make room in a relationship for two separate people? But things get very complicated because when you really love someone you have to love all of the person, not just the parts you’ve idealized.”

As Kazan wrote, she began sharing her work with her boyfriend, the actor Paul Dano, and though she had not set out to write something for the two of them, they couldn’t help but envision one another in the lead roles. “I think I was always subconsciously writing Calvin for Paul,” she muses. “But the weirdest thing is that I was writing a character who is writing my character! There was something very meta going on.”

Kazan wasn’t so interested in the science fiction aspect of how a writer’s fantasy character might come to life – she was more intrigued by what would come next. How would a fictional creation fare in the midst of the messiness of real life, especially when the man writing her isn’t sure of exactly what he wants? There has been a long literary tradition of riffing on the man-made object made human: Shakespeare with Queen Hermione in “A Winter’s Tale,” George Bernard Shaw with Eliza Doolittle in “Pygmalion,” and Mary Shelley gave it another take with her “Frankenstein” myth. Kazan wanted to come at the concept from a literary perspective, exploring a writer who pens the lover he thinks he wants in his heart . . . but who makes him so nervous in the flesh, he is tempted to keep changing her.

“The story leaves some questions open for discussion,” concludes Faris, “we hope that people will leave the theatre with something to talk about.” Adds Dayton: “Despite this movie’s high-concept premise, we think audiences will identify with Calvin’s predicament.” Kazan chimes in, “I am so proud of the movie we made. After such a happy collaboration, we are really excited to share the film with an audience, hear their reactions, start that conversation.”

“Ruby Sparks” opens September 19 in cinemas from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

But who is Frank Ocean? In a world that divvies up art by genre, that constantly seeks to quantify cool, he is impossible to miss. His music style is reminiscent of R&B singer D’Angelo’s sexy slow jams, Robin Thicke’s smooth falsetto voice and Maxwell’s honest-to-goodness classic soul sound. Frank had long labored behind the curtain – writing for Justin Bieber, John Legend and Brandy among others. A self-released mixtape entitled “Nostalgia, Ultra” in 2011 led him to critical acclaim gaining the interest of recording artists such as Kanye West, Beyonce and Jay-Z. This milestone in his career ultimately led him to the birth of his debut studio album “channel ORANGE”.

“channel ORANGE” includes seventeen tracks which feature the three charting singles, “Thinkin’ ‘Bout You”, “Pyramids” and “Sweet Life”. Frank Ocean has quickly proven himself to be among the most gifted singer-songwriters of his generation with this new album. His major-label debut swings from Stevie-style keyboard breeziness to 90s bap and R&B to mystic psych rock to crunching 8-bit funk without thinking twice. Indeed, his first studio album already feels like a genuine classic.

Frank Ocean’s new album channel ORANGE is out now in CDs exclusively under MCA Music available at Astroplus and Odyssey Music & Video. Get it online via iTunes or www.MyMusicStore.com.ph. Special thanks to: BusinessWorld and HerWord.com

As part of the Ystilo Salon’s anniversary, technical consultant Mr. Sun shared his knowledge in hair and cosmetic field in a 2-day hairstyling demo for Ystilo senior hairstylists. It was held at Club Filipino, Greenhills San Juan last August 21-22, 2012 from 1:00pm to 7:00pm.

Fortunately, we were invited to take part at the second day of the event wherein we had a chance to see how Mr. Gary Sun does magic with hairs. It was very new to eye and his styles are pretty fresh as well. And not just that, we also had a chance to meet Ms. Vina Morales, personally.

Together with the salon’s grand re-launch, Ystilo is also proud to announce that they are expanding their business for franchising abroad.

Meanwhile, Vina Morales also excitedly informed everyone about their big treat for their customers, the “Ystylized” campaign. For every P150 (minimum) service avail, customers can get a chance to win a makeover worth P30,000! The promo had officially started last July 15 which will run until October 15, 2012.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to get a glimpse of what SM Hypermarket Cainta is in store for us Rizalenos.

For those who are confused, let me tell you the difference between SM Hypermarket and SM Supermarket. SM Supermarket is a place where you find a wide variety of food and household merchandise, while SM Hypermarket combines the features of a supermarket with those of a department store. So expect that this new store in Cainta, like all the branches of SM Hypermarket, is designed to provide the consumer with a one-stop shop where most shopping needs will be satisfied because everything you need is just under one roof.

Everything under one roof

Freshest catch and harvest of the day, ready to eat and ready to cook items, both local and international brands – indeed, an array of choices to suit every shopper’s needs can be found at SM Hypermarket.

Furniture, appliances, gadgets, home and kitchen items also make the store a one stop shop; plus services such as bills payment and money transfer.

Families and friends may also enjoy bonding moments at the Food Court that serves delicious meals at very affordable prices.

Star-studded opening

In the afternoon, shoppers had the chance to meet Georgina Wilson, Jake Vargas and Tippy dos Santos. Papa Dan of 97.1 Barangay LS also entertained the first day shoppers with his usual antics, plus trivia games for extra fun before the store opened at 3pm.

Reaching out to the community

Lastly, SM Hypermarket reaches out to its new community and donates food relief packs for victims of monsoon floods in the municipality. SM Hypermarket turns over two thousands of food relief packs to the municipality of Cainta headed by Mayor Ramon Ilagan to assist families affected by flooding brought about by heavy monsoon rains.

SM Hypermarket Cainta store hours

SM Hypermarket Cainta is open from 9 AM to 9 PM.

Happy to Serve!!!

Poker is not an easy game to play since there are several hands to consider. There are several ways to win or lose, unlike Blackjack. Poker tournaments can be daunting especially if you just learned how to play the game. You do not have all the time in your hand. The clock is ticking while your neophyte mind is thinking what hand to play. That is where a poker guide can help you at best. When you play, choose a site where you can be helped by such. When you have proven to yourself that you can handle any table, that is the only time you can be confident without a guide.

There are two types of poker players. The gamblers and the thinkers. Where do you categorize yourself? The former wins and loses without pattern. There is always a lesson to learn with the latter.
