Are They Really Cheaper

The websites dedicated to helping you book a vacation, such as Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz amongst others, are not all they are advertised to be. They advertise that you can save money booking your whole vacation with them. In some cases it may be true but more often than not I believe you can do it cheaper yourself.

I previously looked into booking a vacation for my family to Disney. I first did the whole package through Expedia and then did a comparison by going to each site individually and doing it on my own. That comparison was done over six months ago and I found a sizeable savings doing it on my own. For the purpose of this article I did another comparison and I used Disney again this time just because it is a popular vacation destination.

I picked a random hotel, the Pop Century Hotel, for the period of time from May 30, 2006 to June 7, 2006. Expedia gave me a price of $1867.42. This price included tickets to the parks, a full size car through Hertz and round trip non-stop flights from Boston to Orlando. I did the comparison by searching on my own. For the same exact dates and the same hotel at Disney I was able to get a full size car through a different rental car company, non-stop flights from Providence (via Southwest) to Orlando, and tickets to the park for $1723.30. This amounts to a savings of $144.12. This is not an earth-shattering amount of money but it is enough to give me extra spending money for the vacation or to even pay for an extra day's vacation.

In all fairness I did a second comparison for the week most kids have off for April vacation. I didn't take down any of the figures for that comparison for some reason but Expedia was much cheaper than anything I could come up with on my own. The purpose for writing this article was not to put down those websites that bring everything to one place for your convenience. I think they offer an excellent service. But, in the true spirit of my website, www.best-internet-bargains.com, I am constantly looking for ways to save people money. I think the best recommendation I could give is to begin researching your trip through Expedia, Orbitz, or Travelocity, if you like those sites and then do your own comparison by doing it on your own. It might be worth the extra few minutes of your time if you might end up saving some money.

Just be sure that when you are making a purchase on the internet, or anywhere for that matter, that you have done your research. Do not depend on the companies to be honest with you all the time. Don't forget, they are trying to earn your money and they pay departments full of people to advertise to you in a way that attracts you to spend your money. You work hard for your money so be sure to spend it wisely.

How to Stop Puppy Chewing

Current info about puppy chewing is not always the easiest thing to locate. Fortunately, this report includes the latest puppy info available.

An owner must realize that all dogs and certainly all puppies chew. They will chew almost anything that they can get into their mouth.

Therefore, the owner must puppy proof the place were the puppy will spend its time. Most puppies do not know what is safe and what is not safe. The puppy must be gently taught what the rules are for interacting with humans.

To do this the owner must provide correct objects for the puppy to chew. Correct objects include anything that is not made of material that you do not want your puppy to chew. For example, if you do not want your shoes chewed to shreds, then do not give your puppy leather toys to chew. If you do not want your furniture chewed then do not give your puppy toys that are made of fabric or rope. For safety reasons, it is not a good idea to give puppies bones and other animal parts. The best thing to give your puppy are objects made of rubber for dogs to chew and objects made of a special nylon, made for dogs to chew. These items tend to not smell, feel, look or taste like anything in your home. By doing this the owner will make it easy for the puppy to distinguish what is correct to chew and what is not.

If your puppy should put any part of your person in its mouth, gently tell the puppy not to do this and give the puppy the correct thing to put in its mouth. The same applies to unacceptable objects that a puppy might try to chew. Do not try to yank or otherwise pull these objects from the puppy's mouth. You could hurt the puppy, even pull out a tooth or two. You will also trigger the puppy's grab reflex which is not what you want to do. Yanking things that are in a puppy's mouth could teach the puppy to have a pulling contest. When the puppy takes the correct object into its mouth and releases the wrong object, be sure to praise the puppy for doing what is correct. Remember, the puppy does not know what is right and wrong unless it is shown.

Aggressive behavior will not go away on it own, nor will the dog get better with age. The biggest mistake that owners make is to excuse away aggressive behavior for their dog or puppy, and hope that the behavior is outgrown. However, the behavior only gets worse with age.

Do not try to correct a puppy that has true aggressive problems without help from a professional. Many people feel that enough love, or enough corrective behavior will fix the problem. Neither will take care of any aggressive behavior in a dog any age. Especially when it manifests itself in a puppy that is under six months of age. The owner of such a puppy is foolish to try to fix this problem by themselves.

A responsible dog owner will not tolerate aggressive behavior from either a puppy, a young adult or an adult dog. A well socialized, bred and adjusted puppy or dog will feel no need to act aggressively. A dog that chooses to act this way demonstrates that there is a problem with the dog's relationship with humans. Often it is a case where the dog has been taught (from puppyhood) to act inappropriately in given situations. Or the dog decides that aggressive behavior is needed when it is not.

Most of this information comes straight from the puppy pros. Carefully reading our program virtually guarantees that you'll know what they know. You can learn more about Puppy Health & Training at http://www.dogdaypets.com/perfectpuppy.html.

Do You Know The History Of Trampolines As Exercise Equipment ?

The manufactured trampoline, as we know it today, was created by two men, George Nissen and Larry Griswold. Around 1935, Griswold, then the assistant gymnastics coach at the University of Iowa, and Nissen, a tumbler on the University of Iowa gymnastics team, "made regular jaunts to Bloomington, Illinois where numerous circus people had their winter homes.

Among them were the "Flying Wards", some of the finest trapeze performers in the world. Griswold and Nissen worked out with them at the local YMCA, and frequently helped them make or mend their large trapeze nets. Nissen remembers the hours they spent in the basement of the YMCA, threading the long cords of the nets, using large javelin-head needles. This experience was one of several that led them to the idea of creating a trampoline.

One day, with the help of the wrestling coach at the University of Iowa, Griswold and Nissen bolted together an angle iron frame. A piece of canvas, in which they had inserted grommets along each side, was then attached to the frame by using springs. This was the first trampoline.

Since Nissen was still training for tumbling, they decided to move the trampoline to a YMCA camp where he was an instructor. There, during his free time, Nissen used it for his tumbling training. Immediately, he found that the children loved it. This was the first realization that the trampoline could be more than a piece of equipment to use when performing, or seriously training. It was something that many others could enjoy.

In 1942, Griswold and Nissen decided to formalize their small operation of making trampolines. They created the Griswold-Nissen Trampoline & Tumbling Company, and history was made.

But where does the name "Trampoline" come from? "El trampolin" means diving board, in Spanish. George Nissen, the co-creator of the competitive style trampoline, heard the word on a performance tour in Mexico in the late 1930's. He liked the sound of it, and decided to Anglicize the spelling and call his bouncing rig a Trampoline, a term he later registered as a trademark.

What You Should Know About Cabinets

Cabinets are one of the most important aspects of any kitchen. Quality cabinets can increase a the selling value of a home, while poorly constructed ones can detract from not only the value of a home but also the beauty and efficiency of a kitchen. In this article you'll learn more about the different types of cabinets, as well as what to do if the cabinets in your kitchen are less than ideal.

There are many different types of cabinets, made out of many different types of materials. The most popular material is, of course, wood. The least expensive type of woods that cabinets are sometimes crafted from include choices like poplar, birch and maple. If you go with one of these woods, you will probably want to paint your cabinets. Some homeowners choose to go with designer effects like faux finishing to give lower grades of wood a classic and sophisticated look. A step up from these low grade woods would be choices like oak and pine -- durable woods that are fairly affordable.

Looking to spend a bit more for high quality wood? Then you should consider woods such as maple, cherry, or hickory. Which one is best for you depends on your personal preferences and what you feel looks best in your kitchen. Now, if you're looking for a cabinet material that's truly spectacular, you could go with expensive choices like mahogany, walnut or ebony. Not only are these woods exotic and attractive, they're durable and long-lasting.

Just as there are lots of various woods cabinets can be crafted from, there are also various types of cabinetry to suit every price range and preference. Stock cabinetry is the most affordable type of cabinetry, however you won't have a lot to choose from as far as design is concerned. These types of cabinets are made in large quantities in a factory. The next step up from stock cabinetry is semi-custom cabinetry. While these are also factory made, you are given more choices in the size, material and finish of your cabinets. The third, and most expensive type of cabinets are custom cabinets. Custom cabinets are crafted especially for you and meet your every specification and need from start to finish. This type of cabinetry takes longer to build and costs a lot more than the other two options, but can be worth the time and expense.

Maybe you're a homeowner who has cabinets that are less than satisfactory. If so, there are two choices available to you. You can have your existing cabinets removed and replaced or you can simply refinish your cabinets. Which option you choose will have a lot to do with your kitchen storage needs and the quality of your cabinets. If your cabinets are crafted from a low-quality wood and you would prefer a higher grade, then replacement is probably your best bet. If your cabinets do not provide you with the storage space you need, this may be another reason to replace. However, if your existing cabinets are made from an acceptable wood and provide you with enough storage, then refinishing, also known as refacing, might be the way to go.

Refinishing your cabinets is something you can hire a contractor to do, or handle yourself. The first step is to remove your cabinet doors and all hardware, then label the inside of each door with a sticky note. The reason for labeling is so that it will be easy to replace your cabinets when you're done refinishing. After you've labeled everything and removed all the hardware, it's time to remove the finish from the cabinet doors. This can be achieved with a varnish removal product purchased from your local home improvement store. These products can be quite toxic so always be sure to wear proper safety equipment like goggles and gloves. Also, it's crucial to ventilate the room with plenty of fresh air. If you can, doing the work outdoors is an even safer option.

After the varnish remover has done its job, rinse the wood clean and let it dry. Once dry, sand the cabinets to a smooth finish, then brush away all excess sanding dust. You might want to start with a coarse sandpaper to smooth rough areas and finish with a finer grade for an even finish. After the sanding is complete, you can apply the stain or varnish of your choice. If you use more than one coat, allow each coat to dry before adding another. Make sure the stain is completely dry before touching the cabinets. Once you're sure the cabinets are fully dry, you can reinstall them in your kitchen. To give them a shiny new look, replace your old hardware with new hardware.

No matter what type of kitchen you have, good cabinetry is a must. Not only can the right cabinets add to the look of the room, they can give you all the space you need for storing your kitchen related items. If you ever sell your home, you can be sure that prospective buyers are going to examine the kitchen cabinets! With that in mind, take a good look at your existing cabinetry. Is it all you think it should be? If not, there are many options available to you. For ideas, check out some books on the subject or flip through some home improvement magazines. Even a leisurely trip to your local home improvement store can be enough to get you thinking about the upgrades you want to make to your cabinets. Whether you do the work yourself or hire someone to do it for you, you'll find that the end result is definitely worth the time and expense!

NXT Unbreakable Sun Lenses

Before the creation of NXT, optical lenses such as sunglasses were not impact resistance. And could cause serious injury to your eyes if the lenses were to crack or shatter.

Now with a breakthrough in technology, there is a universal solution for the optical market. NXT is made of soft, flexialbe and comes with a shatterproof guarantee. It protects the eyes from impacts, cuts, scratches, chemical and atmospheric agents.

"NXT is the greatest innovation in the past 40 years in the field of unbreakable transparent optical polymers."

What is NXT made of?

The patented NXT technology was originally developed by Simula Technologies in the early 1990's but only for military use. The military need a material that was: transparent, lightweight and bullet proof and more superior than Polycarbonate.

In 1996 Simula Technologies partnered further develop this material and called it NXT. This technology was specifically aimed at optical uses.

Today NXT is a proven new material with its own brand, and has become the new reference for unbreakable and transparent plastic sun lenses:

Charactistics of NXT

Transparent and clear
Unbreakable
Lightweight
Optically superior
Easily worked without cracking
Stable over time
Solvent resistant
Reliable

Some Advantages

NXT can be thermoformed, dye cut, pressure fastened, punched, riveted, slung grooved; all this without causing the material to be brittle.

The traditionally materials used for sunglass lenses all incurred similar problems called "Stress Cracking." It is caused when screws were inserted into the lens. Stress cracking can be insidious because cracks can appear after the production has ended which leads to defected products.

NXT is the first and only optical polymer available in two formats regular and soft; and is the first sun lens that can be folded without breakage or cracking.

The second variation of NXT is called NXTSoft which is obtained through a chemical modification of the original formula.

Lenses made of NXTSoft can be found on our website http://www.beauvision.com.au and is exclusive to our brand range of sunglasses and optical lenses.

NXTSoft has made it possible for rimless sunglasses to be worn during various physical activities without the risk of scratching or hurting the face in case of accidental collision thus making it one of the safest sun lenses in the world.

If you have any more question about NXT please contact us via our email form on our website at http://www.beauvision.com.au

We are more than happy to answer any of your questions.

Aromatherapy Travel Insurance - Essential Oils For Your Journeys

Going on a trip is usually thought of as a wonderful experience, one that you and your family may have planned and looked forward to for some time. To have the most fun - to get the most out of the experience - it's important that you and your loved ones have the means to overcome those little ailments and discomforts that can make the experience range from mildly unpleasant to downright unbearable. How can we include a little 'Trip Insurance' to our already overstuffed carry-ons or mini-vans? Aromatherapy has an answer with some readily-available essential oils.

Motion sickness, bug bites, digestive difficulties, and general travel weariness - to name a few - are common discomforts experienced when venturing away from home. A small collection of inexpensive essential oils can provide great relief from these amusement-threatening ailments. 'Treatment' with these oils is simple - ranging from inhaling a little oil from a tissue, to adding to a bath, to drinking a drop with a warm cup of water. And, thankfully, relief often comes quickly because of the oils' powerful properties and compatibility with our own bodies.

Peppermint and Ginger Essential Oils - Tummy Troubles and Clearing the Head

We'll begin with 'getting there' - any trip starts with traveling. By car, boat, plane, or otherwise, motion sickness commonly effects many people, particularly children. This can easily make the 'traveling' portion of your experience absolutely no fun. Enter Peppermint essential oil.

Peppermint has long been used to calm uneasy stomachs, and is easily used. One drop (it is strong!) in a cup of warm water, sweetened if you like, can be sipped before and during the voyage. For the fussy ones, a drop can be added to a small amount of honey and taken from a spoon for the same effect.

Ginger essential oil is also known for it's calming of upset stomachs - a little inhaled from a tissue or diluted in a carrier oil and rubbed on the abdomen can bring relief. One can also add a drop of ginger to warm water and drink as a strong tea - this may be effective for some food-related stomach issues as well, particularly when combined with the abdomen massage method.

Peppermint can also be uplifting to the weary driver or passenger - a drop or two placed on tissues in the car or near your seat will release the aroma into your surroundings. Be careful with this oil however, as getting it on sensitive areas of the skin (directly under the nose, and certainly near the eyes) can cause irritation. Tissues with the oil on it should not touch these areas directly.

Lavender Oil - the Great Soother

Lavender has been called 'a medicine chest in a bottle' due to its wide range of effects. The aroma of Lavender is uplifting and relaxing, useful for stress in congested airports or crowded highways. Breathing this very safe essential oil is effective for adults and children alike - inhaling drops from a tissue directly, or from one's placed in your surroundings can help you and your companions be at ease.

Plus Thyme, Tea Tree and Eucalyptus - Cleansing and Keeping Bugs and Bites at Bay

Lavender essential oil is also an effective wound-healer because of it's anti-inflammatory, mild antibacterial, and skin-regenerative actions. It can be used directly in case of burns, mixed 50:50 with Tea Tree and put on band aids to prevent infection, or blended with Thyme Linalol and Eucalyptus (2:4:2) and added to a bowl of water for an effective disinfectant wash.

Lavender is very useful for treating bites and stings - just place a little 'neat' (undiluted) on the affected area. This versatile oil is also a component of an insect repellent blend comprised of equal parts of Lavender, Thyme Linalol, and Peppermint, and a double-dose of Lemongrass essential oil. A drop or more placed on tissue or cloth about your room can keep the insects out of your space; 3 drops of this blend per teaspoon of carrier oil can be regularly applied to the skin - or you may mix a similar amount into any lotion you may have.

Lavender can be used in combination with Geranium, Chamomile, Peppermint and Eucalyptus oils in relieving the effects of jet-lag. Getting out of this weary state as quickly as possible makes any trip more enjoyable. This requires getting yourself and companions in-synch with local time, having good rest at night and perhaps a gentle lift in the mornings and throughout the day.

To get yourself into the swing of local time, relax and be ready for bed with equal parts of Lavender and Geranium essential oils - Chamomile may also be used in place of the Geranium, and works especially well for soothing children (if they are irritable for ANY reason). Add a few drops to a bath or use in a massage oil. For a morning eye-opener, do the same using equal amounts of Peppermint and Eucalyptus. You will find these useful at other times when you need a little clarity and lightening-up.

Lemon Oil - the Purifier

Lemon also has some wonderfully diverse uses. It is effective as an antibacterial, but not so strong as to be an irritant. Adding several drops per quart to your drinking water will help purify it, and the water can act as a disinfectant to be used in washing your fruits and vegetables – the need for this certainly depends on your location, but it not a bad idea whenever bacterial contamination may be a possibility. Further, regularly drinking water with added lemon oil can gently stimulate the lymphatic and digestive systems, helping alleviate that sluggish feeling that often accompanies extended plane and car travel.

Eucalyptus Oil - For Keeping Cool and Cold Relief

Eucalyptus - the Narrow Leaf variety is a favorite - has a great range of uses as well. It can cool the body when too hot, and protect it when too cold. It is found in almost all formulas used to relieve congestion, can support circulation, and bring lightness to a travel-weary head.

Eucalyptus oil can be used like peppermint to uplift and invigorate during long intervals in an automobile. It can be added to a cool bath or used on a cold compress in cases of heat exhaustion and heat stroke (accompanied by, of course, copious amounts of water and electrolytes!), and used in a similar manner to reduce fever.

Eucalyptus oil may be blended with Geranium as a massage oil (3 drops Eucalyptus and 2 drops Geranium per teaspoon of carrier oil) to relieve heat cramps. For congestion relief, to a drawn bath, add 1 drop Eucalyptus, 3 drops Lemon, 2 drops Thyme, and 2 drops Tea Tree - soak and breathe deeply - or simply add a few drops to a steaming bowl of water and inhale.

These are just a few examples of ways to make your travel experiences more enjoyable with aromatherapy. With a little effort, you can expand your knowledge of these oils, discovering further uses, and find other oils that work well for your particular needs.

These essential oils are readily available, and fairly inexpensive - though caution should be used when buying oils, as some can be adulterated, and others are mass-produced with techniques that may limit their therapeutic benefits. The more pleasant and 'well rounded' an oil's aroma, generally the higher the quality. Your nose will know! And as with any aromatherapy application, start slowly - essential oils deserve a healthy respect.

Historic Homes Restoration—it’s Easy With A Professional Restoration Team

Old homes are beautiful. Not to mention they have character and style that just can't be found in homes today. That is because older homes were built with materials that are no longer used. Not to mention craftsmanship and creativity that can't be found in today's matchbox homes. However, if you buy a historic home and are interested in home restoration then you will definitely have your work cut out for you.

Restoring an old home takes a lot of time and effort and it can be nearly impossible if you don't know what you are doing. Even if you hire a contractor to restore your historic home you may not end up with the results you are looking for if the contractor does not specialize in historic renovation or old home restoration. However, there is hope out there!

Many contractors work specifically on historic homes to restore them to their former glory. However, the new owners also want modern conveniences and features that were not previously present. So, the home restoration contractor works to impeccably restore the home while including the modern necessities the homeowner desires. The result is a historical home that offers everything a contemporary family might need while reflecting the home's amazing history, construction and craftsmanship.

Choosing a Home Restoration Contractor

If you want your old home to be restored then you need to be very careful with the home restoration contractor you choose. Not all contractors know how to restore old homes correctly and could actually do more harm to your historical restoration efforts than you imagined.

Because of this when you are looking for a contractor to restore your historical home make sure you check out their past work. Ask for references, check out previous homes they have restored, and see if the final result is what you are looking for in your home restoration.

Once you find a contractor you trust with your historic renovation then you will be ready to sit down and talk about what you have in mind. Be sure the old house restoration contractor is well aware of your desires for the ultimate outcome of your home.

When the homeowners and contractors are on the same page, and the contractor is skilled, then old house restoration is most successful. Keep these tips in mind when you are considering old home restoration and you will likely have the new, old home of your dreams!

Major Bathroom Remodeling Guidelines

Although the bathroom, compared to all the other rooms in the home has the smallest area, a "major bathroom remodeling" can be costly; in fact can be compared to renovating a small house.

Upgrading your bathroom appliances as well as knocking down walls are generally the scope of "bathroom remodeling" jobs. You will need important help that will include a designer or architect, an electrician, plumber, carpenter, professional tiler and possibly also a "general contractor" to organize jobs and bring everybody together.

For the superlative bathroom remodeling results, you need to contact a contractor because this won't be a simple do-it-yourself remodeling project.

Benefits of hiring a contractor

The most notable benefit of obtaining the help of a contractor in your major bathroom remodeling project is acquiring "peace of mind" and having to deal with just one person to impart your ideas to or to blame in case something goes wrong.

A reliable contractor carries with him the knowledge and skills to supervise and manage everything in the bathroom remodeling process starting from the tearing-out phase up to the installation of the last plumbing piece.

Your contractor coordinates with the plumber, electrician and any other workers needed in your bathroom remodeling project, obtains all essential permits demanded by your city and organizes work schedules in order that no time is wasted.

Design and planning

A collection of architectural and design plans will help not only you but your bathroom remodeling professionals as well visualize the completed project, although any design ideas and preparations may be helpful.

When contemplating major remodeling on your bathroom, the most essential thing to keep in mind is to consider and look into your "bathroom remodeling" project estimate or figures as well as what you imagine is the most attractive bathroom design for you.

Throughout the your bathroom remodeling course, remember to think and look of the remodeling project from all angles such as functionality, overall design, aesthetic appeal, comfort, materials and colors.

While you may avoid crazy designs generally in other rooms of your house, your bathroom can deal with vibrant patterns and colors and whimsical themes. Furthermore, it can be a meticulous depiction of your homes ambience.

Consult a designer for bathroom design suggestions and ideas, let them know of your design preference so they can give you a sketch or you can examine magazines and cut out designs, ideas and photos that correspond or match with what design you have in mind.

Here are basic questions that you should ask yourself to help you design your bathroom:

• What do you want to accomplish?

• Which do you prefer more, sink or counter space?

• Do you need one more shower compartment?

• Would you like to put in a whirlpool or spa setting?

• Do you need lots of cabinets or just open shelves for storage space?

Establishing a realistic budget for your major bathroom remodeling

When determining your bathroom remodeling budget, bear in mind the bathroom design inspiration and ideas you like as well as if they are expensive.

Remember, it is less expensive when you don't relocate your bathroom's plumbing fixtures, like sinks or toilets, so then when you have a much smaller budget, incorporating your present bathroom plan into your new bathroom design can in fact, be very economical.

Furthermore, the cost of your bathroom remodeling project will greatly depend on your choice of fixtures and quality of bathroom appliances you would like to have. Some bathtubs, fixtures and even tiles could be expensive because of their brand names.

Considering that you can spend hours in your bathroom, taking care of your many hygiene and grooming needs, it is very important that you give thorough consideration on how you want to use your bathroom room.

Today's bathroom is no longer just a place for taking a bath, brushing your teeth, etc. It now can a place where you can relax in the tub, light a candle and read a book and just take pleasure in its calming ambience.

Bathrooms need to be just as functional, good looking and comfortable as the other rooms of your home.

Enjoy the excitement and fun of your bathroom remodeling project and take pleasure in the many years of contentment and gratification offered by your finished bathroom project.
