There’s no need to remember to buy — and lug in — every week heavy crates of plastic water bottles, just remember to get your hands on a new Samsung fridge filter when it’s time. You can save your strength for other demonstrations of brawn (and physique) while contributing greatly to space-saving initiatives at local landfills.

A further piece of advice, when you’re buying your water filter or other component part — say, a DLP lamp — make sure you know the correct part number. Something like “bp96-01073a” can become a little bit difficult to recall, with complete accuracy, once you’ve gone out the door and belted out (with feeling) four tunes on the road. Write the code down so you don’t have to make extra trips to the store or spend time mailing back an incorrect part.

The easiest thing to do is to buy your parts online. That way you’re near the physical Samsung waste toner container you need to replace and the store listing your correct product part on the screen. It’s just simpler to double-check that way.

The three button suit seems to have lost its charm, and is not as popular as the two button suit. Amongst men’s suits, the two button suit somehow seems the most elegant. The air surrounding a two button suit is one that is dignified. A three button suit if not worn properly will only make you look shapeless and untidy. The cut of the three button suit does not sit well, and the fully buttoned up appearance could make you look slightly stuffy.

With a two button suit however there is very little that could go wrong. The three button suit does not allow for a larger display of a man’s shirt and tie, which would otherwise make him look sleek and even younger perhaps. The shorter lapels on the three button suits makes it look less elegant and also makes the wearer look restricted. This look of restriction however could be how you are wearing it, and yes, there is a ‘right’ way to wearing a three button suit.

The buttons – fashion experts cite that keeping only the middle button fastened makes the three button suit look far more elegant. Ensure that your tailor makes the jacket to fit you in such a way, that with keeping the middle button secured, you can create a very attractive X shape. This X shaped fall is quite appealing rather than the suit falling straight, making it look rather dull.

The fit – unlike with tuxedos, the three button suit will not show off the shape of your body unless tailored well. With most wearers of the three button suit, what goes wrong is that the jacket is too loose and thus all its appeal is lost.

Sometimes it is fun to have a room or even each room in the house in a different theme. Doing up your bedroom, for instance, in retro home décor will make it feel cozy and nostalgic. But before you do it, give it some thought and plan it out.

Getting collectors level items is expensive and therefore doing up the whole room in that way will not be affordable. This is where you have to make some careful choices. Identify the items that will be used constantly – Pillow cases, bedspreads, etc. For these items, you can go the route of replicas as they are cheaper. This is because replicas are reproductions of the original design and therefore have a much lower market value. But when it comes to things like curtain sets, you should consider getting a vintage set. Just knowing it is forty to fifty years old will make it feel special and also give the room a nice and comfy feel.

While you’re at it trying to get your bedroom jazzed up, why not go the whole hog and get some vintage clothes as well?  Why not try some 60’s clothing or even 50’s clothing and see how it looks on you? Styles always have a way of coming around and even big Hollywood stars wear vintage clothing now and then to gala events.

These days it is easy to find vintage and retro clothes. There are many websites online, like www.vintagetrends.com that offer an extensive and certified collection for you to peruse. So go on, take the plunge and go vintage!

Historian Richard Holmes once famously said that “there’s something dandy in all military uniforms,” which might explain why old military uniforms are frequently in fashion. Top fashion designers have frequently turned to the military for inspiration. As recently as 2008, fashion catwalks in Europe were teeming with Napoleonic-inspired jackets and admiral coats.

Even something as simple as vintage scarves takes on a unique edge when they have a military look. For some people, a military look can be a response to current military actions around the world. For others, it’s simply a way to have fun and bring a unique look to their wardrobe.

No matter what retro style you are looking to create, you can find the perfect pieces at top online retailer Vintage Trends. Whether you want a stiff, regimented military look or want to get loose with vintage disco clothing, you can find the best quality items at low prices through Vintage Trends.

Samsung Electronics America Inc., which produces leading consumer electronics products such as the Samsung netbook, announced the debut of its 933HD+ and 2333HD multi-performance monitors on October 27, 2009.

Both sleek monitors include basic features plus a digital TV tuner with an optical cable or satellite connection and up to two HDMI connections. These can be used to connect to digital devices such as a Blu-Ray player or gaming system. The 19-inch 933HD+ and 23-inch 2333HD feature a glossy black finish with a rounded bottom edge and a matching crystal-like acrylic bar.

“With more homes having multiple entertainment centers, the 933HD+ and 2333HD are the perfect companions for users who want integrated HDTV functionality from a desktop monitor,” said Doug Albregts, vice president of the Information Technology Division at Samsung Electronics America Inc. “The added bonus is that both these monitors are self-contained and functional right out of the box, and can quickly connect to any entertainment device.”

The 933HD+ and 2333HD monitors are available through Samsung resellers and distribution channels, while replacement parts for other electronic devices such as the Samsung AD44-00116B AA-E9 camcorder adapter are available at SamsungParts.com.

Along with the new monitors, Samsung offers a variety of home theater systems including wall-mountable audio systems and convenient rear wireless speakers. Complete your home theater by purchasing a 5.1 channel surround sound home theater system such as the Samsung HT-BD3252 Blu-Ray home theater system, or upgrade your current home theater system by purchasing the Samsung wireless receiver SWA4000.

Whether you need a new Samsung AD44-00116B AA-E9 camcorder adapter or printer cartridge, Samsung has always delivered quality parts at affordable prices. When it comes to their mobile phones, the company delivers the same quality performance, time after time.

We are pleased to report that Samsung Mobile and AT&T announced the availability of the Mythic and Samsung Flight, two devices in AT&T’s quick messaging and touch screen phone portfolio heading into the holiday season. According to the company blog, the AT&T Mobile TV-capable Mythic features a large 3.3 inch touch screen that scrolls left to right on the home screen for additional applications with the touch of a finger.

“With the swipe of a finger you are a touch away from your favorite apps including AT&T Navigator, AT&T Social Net, att.net and more. Samsung’s TouchWiz™ user interface allows for quick access to your favorite features and has specially designed widgets to customize and personalize the way you use your phone.”

The popular manufacturer Samsung makes a broad variety of consumer products ranging from computers to household appliances. It is no question that newer, more advanced models of these products are introduced every year, if not more often. Sometimes it is difficult to find the Samsung replacement part that you need, especially if you own a later model. However, to get the most out of your Samsung MP3 player, microwave oven, or mobile phone, it is highly recommended that you purchase genuine Samsung parts. If you cannot find the product on the official company’s website, your next option is to search for an authorized dealer of Samsung parts. An authorized dealer will not only have the original products, but they can also help you locate the hard-to-find Samsung battery or USB cable that you need for your device. Plus, authorized dealers have years of experience with the Samsung brand and understand the products inside and out. Whether you need to pick up a new Samsung wall mount for your plasma TV or a speaker dock for your MP3 player, purchasing the original piece will ensure that your device works as flawlessly as possible.

According to MSNBC, the new bride is a “budget bride,” less concerned about a designer dress than saving money for a down payment on a house. But every bride—and groom, for that matter—still wants to have a meaningful, memorable wedding, even if some things have to be scaled back. If you’re looking to cut costs so that you can give your guests Chinese wedding favors and still throw a great party without breaking the bank, here are a few ideas:

• Skip the deejay and plug in your iPod. This way, you can preselect the reception music rather than rely on someone else’s (sometimes questionable) taste in music.
• Consider candlelight. Candlelight, as we all know, sets the mood and works very well for smaller, more intimate weddings. Just be sure to warn guests to keep their Japanese wedding favors away from the flame!
• Rent rather than purchase table linens and lights. Renting these two items can cut costs considerably and also customize the look and feel of a ceremony and reception to the couple’s preferences. Paper lanterns are one way to set the look of your reception apart.
• Hold the reception at a friend or family member’s house rather than renting a space. Just be willing to help with the preparation and send a thank-you note and gift afterwards!
• Email invitations rather than mail them. You’ll not only be saving on paper and postage costs, you’ll also be doing the earth a favor.

There are lots of other ways to hold a recession-friendly wedding. Decide what’s most important to you and plan the details accordingly!

Many of us would love to own an original World War II bomber jacket. However, if you can’t find a suitable jacket from that time period or a price that meets your budget, you may want to consider purchasing an identical replica. There are many manufacturers that produce authentic bomber jackets replicas that look and feel just like the real thing. While the selection can be overwhelming, the following is a quick guide to purchasing quality replica jackets.

A high-quality reproduction can cost anywhere between $500 and $800. To find an identical replica of the type A-2 or G-1 jacket, you can visit online retailer American Mystique.com. The company offers picture perfect replicas that are made in the U.S.A. American Mystique carries a wide variety of popular jackets, including the Top Gun G-1 flight jacket. This jacket is made with antique lambskin and features a removable genuine mouton fur collar. It also features seven embroidered patches and a leather painted blood chit on the back. In addition to authentic leather bomber jackets, American Mystique also offers B3 shearling jackets, nylon bomber jackets, and leather motorcycle jackets.

Clothing retailers all over the U.S. are offering great bargains in order to lure in customers who are too afraid to spend money during these tight economic times. Some retailers of mens suits, for example, advertise buy-one-get-one free deals, while others refund your money if you lose your job. Still, men are hesitant to walk into these stores because they don’t want to deal with the pushy salesman. Salesmen are notorious for selling you a suit that is not the proper size or style that you’re looking for. They tend to treat the suit as a uniform and will tell you that a tailor can fix anything. Instead of falling into such a trap that could cost you more money than you are willing or able to spend, why not consider purchasing your next suit online?

Online suit stores offer consumers numerous benefits that you simply cannot get from a traditional store. When you purchase a suit online, you will enjoy the freedom of browsing through a wide variety of suits without the pressure of discussing it with anyone. Say goodbye to the salesman! Granted, this means that you will need to do your research beforehand, such as determining your suit size, and selecting the appropriate style, cut, and color of the suit. Do you need to browse through black tuxedos for the next formal event or business suits for an upcoming job interview? Once you know these details, you will feel like a professional in the field.

Another benefit of purchasing your suit online is the price. While it may be daunting to compare prices when you have to drive to each store, it is much easier online. You can compare prices from the comfort of your own home or office. Finally, get help when you need it most. Rather than being bombarded by the salesmen in a traditional store, you can choose to contact the online retailer when you have the questions. For example, if you want to know which one of their neckties goes well with a particular suit, feel free to contact them. Or, if you have any questions about which type of suit to wear for a certain occasion, they can help with that too. In fact, many online suit stores offer helpful articles on subjects that will help you navigate through suit jargon, such as button style, vents, lapels, and the proper size.
