All hail our Saint George!

By James London


For someone who is British through and through, I was surprised to find out how little I really know about the Patron Saint of England, Saint George. I must admit that I've never really remembered the date, I don't know how we celebrate the occasion, and I most certainly didn't realise that a large number of other countries also worship the same Saint George: Aragon, Catalonia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Portugal, Russia and Palestine, the list goes on and on.

Contrary to belief, George was actually born in Turkey to devout Christian parents back in the 4th century. In his adult life, he became a brave Roman solider, serving under a strict, Pagan leader. It was whilst devoting himself to his soldier duties that he made the decision to stand up to his Pagan predecessors regarding their inhumane torture of local Christians. It was this selfless act of bravery in his quest to seek religious justice that ultimately lead to him being beheaded.

Others believe in the more mystical tale of Saint George and the slaying of a mighty dragon, I know this is what I was predominantly taught in school: Saint George was a famous knight who saved a beautiful princess in the exotic lands of Libya. He fought fiercely against a ruthless dragon for hours and hours, stopping occasionally to replenish himself under a magic orange tree. Looking back at this story now, perhaps it was a more fun way of illustrating the original tale of George and the Pagan Romans.

Regardless of which story you prefer to the follow, the imagery in both remains the same. Whether you look at paintings of a Roman Christian solider or a young and gallant Knight slaying a dragon, in pretty much all of them, George is carrying a special shield, adorned with the red cross of England.

Strangely, St. George's Day doesn't seem as popular in the UK as other Patron Saint days, such as St. Patrick's and St. David's. This is nothing more than remarkable, given that we have so much to be proud of. For such a small country, we really have made our mark on the world politically, socially and artistically.

If you're looking for somewhere extra special and nostalgic to celebrate this St. George's Day, you should head on down to Home House of Portman Square in London. Celebrate England's Patron Saint with a classic selection of ingredients including smoked salmon, asparagus, rib of beef, bread and butter pudding and sherry trifle (vegetarian option available), as well delicious, crisp, fruity wine.

Take The Stress Out Of Travel With Easy Advice

By Cristen McGary


Do you find that you desire to travel? Do you want to learn how to help improve your travel plans? If you are ready, then you have come to the right place. The tips that are listed below contain advice on what you can do to create a better traveling experience.

When traveling, avoid crowded places where pickpockets might frequent. This includes subways, elevators, train stations, tourism attractions, market festivals, and poor neighborhoods. If you are forced to visit one of these places, make sure your valuables are secured in inside pockets or a bag with a shoulder strap, and check them frequently.

You should always plan on spending money to get quality things when you travel. Cheaper is not always the way to go. This is especially true when you are considering lodging and food. You will likely have a better experience if you do not go cheap on every single thing.

Purchase a travel dress, which is a garment that can be worn multiple ways. It can be worn as a dress, skirt, shirt and wrap. You can then pack a few other accessories and accompanying items, which will save lots of space in your suitcase for all the souvenirs you wish to bring home.

If you are traveling with children, separate each of their outfits and put them in an individual freezer bag. Label the bags with the date that you want the child to wear the clothing. While it takes a little planning to do, this idea makes your mornings run much smoother since the kids just grab their bag and get ready to go. They do not have to dig through their suitcase, potentially creating a big mess.

When traveling, you should try to move around as much as possible when you come to a rest stop. This will give you a way to stretch your legs from the long car ride. Try taking a short job around the rest stop. This will give you a chance to make yourself alert for the trip and the children will get a chance to run off some energy.

When traveling with young children, avoid the temptation to drag along too much paraphernalia. Children are adaptable if you allow them to be, and will ultimately be much happier on a journey if parents are not worn out and stressed over burdensome accessories. If necessary, purchase inexpensive versions of toys, umbrella strollers and baby equipment after you arrive at your destination - then donate it to charity or other travelers before returning home.

When traveling, it's important to pack light. Pack items within other items (rolled-up socks and underwear inside your shoes, for example). If possible, bring knitted or microfiber garments that you can roll up tightly in your bag. Always bring clothes you can wash in the hotel sink and hang to dry if necessary. Roll all garments instead of folding.

Keep hand sanitizer in your purse or pocket. When traveling, keeping hand sanitizer with you is a great idea. If you go through a lot of it, considering buying small reusable bottles. Buy one of the larger sizes of hand sanitizer and just continue refilling the small, reusable bottle.

Carry a list of important toll-free numbers, and keep it separate from your wallet. Make a list of the toll-free contact numbers for your bank, as well as your credit cards. Keep it separate from your wallet, so if it becomes lost or stolen you can quickly and easily notify the institutions and get the cards canceled.

When traveling to a foreign country, don't assume that your health care coverage travels with you. Always check with your health insurance provider to see if you are covered for accidents, illness, and evacuation for medical reasons. In addition, find out if your life insurance policy will pay costs in the case of death.

When traveling on an airplane, carry a small bottle of an aromatherapy product with you. In the event that someone sitting near you has a strong odor, place a little of the product under your nose. It is subtle enough not to upset your neighbors but will help keep the unpleasant smell away from you.

If you know you are going to be travelling, purchase tickets for your flight at least two months before your dates of travel. The closer to a departure date that you buy, the more expensive the tickets will be. Waiting to purchase tickets close to a flight will only cost you more money.

Choose middle seats on a bus when you are traveling. The middle seats have the most mobility and flexibility of all the seats on the bus. You will not be bothered by road noise or the restroom. You will also have an overhead light and vent. Take advantage of good seats for optimal comfort.

Check out user reviews. The experiences of others who have traveled to the same location can be much more helpful than the biased sales information from the destination itself. Also, check out guest-contributed photos, which will be more real and less doctored than the professional photos. Be sure to look for recent reviews, and find ones written by people having similar vacation needs to your own.

A beach or city may look beautiful in the many pictures that are on the travel site that you are booking your site through. Make sure to look into as many resources online to make sure that the one that you are planning to visit is clean and safe for you and your family.

If you need to cancel your ticket, it is proper to cancel it within twenty-four hours of purchase in order to avoid any extra fees. Otherwise, you might end up paying extra fees in order to cancel your ticket which drives the cost of your ticket up and therefore the cost of your trip.

While traveling to new places and even old familiar places is fun and exciting, we can all use a few good ideas to keep the trip on track. If you use the tips give to you here, you should have no worries for wherever you are headed to next.

Effectively Generating And Manageing Leads With Email Marketing

By Stasia Ranallo


Marketing your business is a big job. You need to have techniques and methods that allow you to target your customers and clients in a way that fires them up for what you have to offer. Email marketing can be an excellent tool for your marketing strategy if you know how to use it. Here are some good tips to get you going.

Form a personal relationship with your email service provider, also known as your ESP. Talk to them on the phone, and meet them face to face if possible. Email is their industry, and they know what does and does not work. Let them get to know you and your ambitions, and they can open doors for you.

Do not send too much information in one email. Customers will get frustrated and overwhelmed if there is an overabundance of information in a single email. Instead, put a sufficient amount of information in a series of emails and be sure that each one contains a few paragraphs. This will keep their attention.

Maximize the results of your email marketing by encouraging your readers to respond to every email. Always read and reply to these emails immediately. Building a personal relationship with each of your readers is the best way to convert them into loyal customers. This is also a good way to get more specific feedback on the success of your efforts.

Personalize the Campaign, your emails should address their recipient by name. Software can personalize each email so that it is addressed individually to the recipient. Emails are much more likely to be opened and read when you use the actual name of the recipient rather than "Dear Valued Customer." So take the time to use your customer's name, so they don't just feel as though your letter is simply spam.

Take every opportunity that comes up to be festive when you send out your emails. When there is a holiday try to tailor your emails to fit the occasion. Subscribers will be very appreciative of this, and they will feel as if you are human and not a robot. Offering holiday discounts is another great idea that ties into the festive theme.

Your marketing email does not need to be just black and white only. Your logo should appear, and a color scheme of some sort should also be part of your campaign. However, it is very important that the color scheme be specific and consistent in order for it to be effective for your campaign.

Even though it should be obvious, it is important enough to state over and over: Never send unsolicited emails. You should have explicit permission from everyone you send marketing emails to. This is about more than trying not to upset them; a recipient who considers your email spam can cause trouble for you with your service provider.

All email marketers would be wise to set up domain authentication. This will assure your ISP that any email you send out is in fact from you, resulting in an increased likelihood that your email will be delivered. You don't want to put time and effort into creating a wonderful email only to see it never reach its intended destination.

After about nine months, ask your subscribers to re-confirm their wishes to receive emails from you. Retention can be tricky, but those on your email list will appreciate you asking, and will be less likely to unsubscribe. The re-confirmation process will also let you know which readers are loyal to you.

Do not restrict yourself just to email marketing. As you identify your core clientele that trusts you, see if you can get phone numbers and physical addresses. Build on your relationships by expanding your communications with your loyal core base by contacting them through these mediums as well as email.

Keep all of your branding in your email consistent with your business. Don't make your email appear as though it belongs to another business. Try to stick with your usual colors, voice, and fonts so that the readers can recognize that the email is from you and so they will read it.

A great email marketing tip that everyone would be wise to use is to take advantage of the holidays. Make emails more festive by creating a holiday theme whenever appropriate. Your readers are sure to enjoy the extra effort you put into your holiday emails and this can greatly increase your success.

If you have to send out a long message, like a newsletter, use anchor tags near the top. Your subscriber should immediately see the headlines of the individual components of your message. This lets them jump straight to the ones that interest them instead of scrolling over the rest of it.

Pay attention to the demographics within your subscriber base. See what content and links intrigued a particular segment of your audience, and then follow up with a new email to that subgroup. The boost in your response rate from peeling away the top layer will really surprise you, but in a delightful way.

Ask your customers for feedback on your emails. Since your customers are the most important part of your campaign, it is important to know if they are pleased with the emails they receive from you. You could ask them to fill out a short survey with a few questions on what they like and what they dislike.

Don't include the use of newsletters in your email marketing campaign. You can send the people on your opt-in list relevant emails about particular topics instead. You will attract more people when they know that they will only be receiving information that they are interested in, and that they will not have to sift through an entire newsletter to get it.

Email marketing can be a great opportunity to reach your clients and customers. If you implement the tips that this article has given you, you are likely to notice that your target market is more satisfied. Use the tips here to create a solid email marketing plan that ultimately raises your profits.

Learn To Effectively Pack A Box

By Sharonne Penickata


The thought of packing a box feels like a simple one to those who aren't overly familiar with relocating to a different home. Moving commercials which you see on television make you believe that the items should be carefully packed in packing peanuts in their own box. At the same time, places that sell boxes would have you believe that the larger the box, the greater for your move. Neither idea is anywhere near the truth.

Finding out how to properly pack a box requires common sense. To start with, you're relocating to a different home, not shipping a birthday gift to another continent with the postal service. Don't get worried with buying those expensive packing peanuts or bags of air. Moving is pricey enough without falling for these money traps too.

You can use any box for packing, even though you have to take into account that you must be capable of lift the box when you're finished. Larger boxes ought to be reserved for light items, while heavier things like books ought to be packed away in smaller boxes. DVD collections will fool you with their weight. Just one DVD isn't heavy. By the time you stuff that box packed with them, they shall be comparable to your books.

Packing a box does not imply putting merely a single form of item within it. When you pack, you will find it simpler to place every item from your general location within the same box, however this implies that you'll be working with several types of items. While you set up a clear box, consider what all will fit within it. Packing a box properly becomes a jigsaw puzzle, along with your belongings as the pieces.

Discover the heaviest items first, and place them at the end from the box. Position the lighter items over the larger, heavier ones, and then try to fit them in appropriately. You don't want to force a product into a location, because it may break. Make an effort to get the box to become as full as possible, up to the brim, without making the perimeters bulge out. Use clothing, towels, sheets, and other cloth items to complete any gaps or wrap fragile pieces in.

If the sides bulge out, it indicates the container is over-filled and unstable. Once the movers shove it to the truck, it will be crammed along with other straight-edged boxes, which might cause items inside to interrupt beneath the pressure in the sides. A box that isn't completely full will buckle underneath the weight from the boxes over it. As the the surface of the box slumps as a result of the level of the things inside, the boxes on top of it begin to tip. One half-empty box might cause everything above it to fall and break throughout the move. Protecting your items is entirely your responsibility, and can depend upon your packing efforts before moving day.

Helpful Pointers In Selecting Jet Charter Services

By Christi Larsen


There are many benefits the jet charter services bring. Aside from offering a more luxurious traveling, this can save you time and effort for greater efficiency and productivity. In a time when everything is fast-paced, it is extremely important to stay ahead. Renting your own chartered jet eradicates the concern for the flight's schedule and possible delays that could easily be avoided.

Nonetheless, you must be extremely cautious in choosing the services to hire. You must factor in the company's reputation and experience in aviation industry as well as the conditions of their planes to ensure your safety during the trip. The risks it involves is too high to leave to chances. Not to mention the expenses it entails.

Before heading out on your search, you need to determine your needs. Take into account your reasons for flying, your destinations, your travel plan and the things that you are bringing along. If you are bringing aboard a large delegation, you understandably need a larger fleet, while a smaller jet may be enough all by yourself.

Now that you have a solid outline of what you really need, gather as many names of well-reputed airline companies as you possibly can. Narrow down the names by doing extensive research on the operators you are eying for and removing the ones with unimpressive records. Choose the best candidate from the list.

Alternatively, you can hire the invaluable services of an air charter broker. He knows the ins and outs of the airline processes from the aviation rules to the safety considerations. Hence, he can make your search much easier. He can also ensure the trip to be a safe one. Just see to it that you have chosen an undeniably qualified broker for this field.

The broker represents its clients during the transactions. The contract goes through a broker. You will deal with the broker and the broker will coordinate with the flight companies in turn. This is an ideal setup when trying to obtain discounted rates for charter operations since the brokers and the airline companies normally have bilateral agreements to serve their clients better.

The broker acts as an independent sales agent. He works with one or more charter operators and typically gets paid with a sales commission. As a consumer, this works at your advantage. The brokers know a handful of reputable aviation companies that you can choose from. Although he may favorably sell one service than the others, you will always have your options open.

There are other brokers who work as middleman, too. They find the best aircrafts and screen their services. They suggest the most suitable service for you and leave you to coordinate with the operators. He is paid by the clients for his services in finding the best chartered deals.

Regardless of doing the search by yourself or hiring a broker, you must request for licenses and accreditation. Choose the jet charter services carefully. Otherwise, the trip would not end up good. You can coordinate with different professional regulatory commissions to verify the legitimacy of the providers you are eying for.

All Inclusive Vacation Considerations

By Karen Puckett


If you are considering an all-inclusive vacation, then you are surely in for a treat! However, there are plenty of things to be aware of and good pointers to know before booking, and I'm here to help explain them to you.

For starters, spend plenty of time considering the type of vacation that you want to go on and the location you want to choose. There are tons of different types of all-inclusive vacations. Plenty are designed for families, and include kid-friendly activities for all ages, and other vacation packages are more geared towards couples, and are suited for adult-friendly relaxation, including spa treatments and plenty of adult beverages. Make sure you that factor location in as an important detail. Traveling abroad should always be approached responsibly, as safety is a number one priority. Crime rates can be much higher than expected in certain regions or cities, and also keep in mind the distance and amount of time it will take to get to and from the airport.

Also, weigh the options of your desired cost versus your desired experience. Budget will always be a huge factor in any vacation-based decision that you make, and remember that more expensive options will likely include more options in general and of a nicer nature, than some less expensive options, which may limit the ways in which you may be able to enjoy yourself. For instance, having access to unlimited top-shelf liquors and unlimited spa treatments may be much preferable (but also much more expensive than) to only being served food buffet style and having to pay for any relaxation services you decide to treat yourself too. So while one hotel may look much cheaper from the outside, read the fine print the see what it includes that factor in what kind of bills you may be looking at at the end.

Also, take into heavy account the type of dining experiences offered and their partnering beverage deals. Take note of how many meals per day are served, whether snack options are available, and if there is any offering of a late night menu or grille. Many places do offer all of these things, however it isn't necessarily the case. To avoid eating only from a buffet all week, and being limited solely to complimentary wine and beer, read the fine print to make sure that you are getting all of the perks with food and beverages that you want and need. In all cases, non-alcoholic drinks including water, sodas and juices should always be on the house.

Finally, definitely consider the activities that are available. Each company will include a number of activities that are covered, however some may not be, and often those are the ones that are the most sought out, including jet skiing, scuba diving, and golf. Do your research, and then, enjoy your vacation!

What to Do with An Unwanted Timeshare

By Mitchell Sussman


Are you burdened by your timeshare vacation rental with their ever increasing assessments?

Many unscrupulous timeshare companies are refusing to take back their timeshare and are blocking the sale or transfer of an unwanted timeshare to third parties making timeshare not an investment but a financial liability for the life of the timeshare owner.

Because the travel and tourism is one of the most important industries in the state of California account for about 100 billion dollars annually, the legislature has enacted consumer protection statutes that are designed to protect consumers from fraudulent and deceptive timeshare tactics.

Known as the Vacation Ownership and Time- share Act of 2004, this consumer protection statute that may be utilized by a timeshare owner to regulates disclosures and representations made by timeshare salesman as well as the content found in timeshare offering brochures. In addition, it regulates the conduct of timeshare presentation as well as the availability of timeshare to owners who are often times required to compete for timeshare use with rental of their timeshare to the general public.

This legislation is quite extensive in its prohibitions of representations and conduct in connection with a timeshare presentation. Some of the more frequent violations of the Act, which can be found in California Business and Professions Code 11245, are the following:

(1) Make any material misrepresentation that is false or misleading in connection with any advertisement or promotion of a time-share plan.

(2) Make a prediction of any increases in the resale price or resale value of the time-share interest.

(3) Materially misrepresent the size, nature, extent, qualities, or characteristics of the offered time-share plan.

(4) Materially misrepresent the conditions under which a purchaser may exchange the right to use accommodations in one location for the right to use accommodations in another location.

(5) Materially misrepresent the current or future availability of a resale or rental program offered by or on behalf of the developer.

(6) Materially misrepresent the nature or extent of any incidental benefit.

(7) Fail to deliver any item offered in connection with a promotion to a prospective purchaser upon the conclusion of the sales presentation,

(8) State that the purchase of a time-share interest constitutes a financial investment.

(9) Fail to clearly and conspicuously disclose, prior to the execution of any purchase contract, the annual maintenance and association dues or any separately billed taxes, when applicable.

(10) Fail to clearly disclose in writing any automatic charging or billing procedure.

The Act also provides a formula which restricts the rental of timeshare units to the general public and requires a one - to - one purchaser to accommodation ratio to ensure that timeshare owners can indeed have access to the timeshare that they purchased. ( California Business & Professions Code 11245 (b), 11250 )

Violators of the Act can be sued by owners for damages or for injunctive or declaratory relief. Moreover, the Act does not exclude other remedies provided by law, including action under California's Unfair Competition Law.

So if I have a timeshare that you are no longer able to afford or simply want to sell it what can you do?

Call your time - share company and see if they are willing to take back their timeshare. If they are not and its seems like you will be stuck with the timeshare and its obligations to pay maintenance fees for life, you should consult with a lawyer familiar with these laws.

In sum, you should not have to be saddled with timeshare fees forever.

Vacation and Travel Advice

By Olivia M Darlington


To help give you piece of mind when travelling by car, you should look at purchasing a roadside assistance plan. If your car should get stuck, you now have someone to call when there is nobody around to help. Most plans are fairly inexpensive and will help pay for itself if you ever need assistance.

If you are planning on a really remote and exotic trip of a lifetime, consider purchasing an insurance that will cover emergency evacuation, rescuing and search. The farther from civilization you plan to be, the more grateful you will be to have this type of insurance.

When renting a car take the time before you leave the parking garage to acquaint yourself with its most basic features. Make sure an instruction manual for the car model is in the glove box and take time to skim through it. It's no fun to pull into rush hour traffic just as a thunder storm hits if you don't know how to turn on the windshield wipers!

Before leaving home tie a small, colorful ribbon on the handle of our luggage. This will help differentiate it from all the other suitcases out there of the same color. Any time you can save at the baggage carousel is well worth the time it takes to tie a ribbon on your suitcase. Just make sure that you tie it in such a way that it will not snag.

When booking a hotel stay, be sure to ask when the hotel was last built or renovated. A low-cost motel that's brand new might be a better option than an older building attached to a good name. Stay away from lower-end and mid-range hotels that haven't been renovated in more than five or six years.

When traveling to poor countries or countries with high crime rates, keep all of your valuables out of sight. Don't wear a camera over your shoulder or even a cheap watch on your wrist if you don't want to attract the attention of thieves and beggars. Carry a shoulder bag for these types of items instead.

When visiting wineries, ask about a tour. Many vineyards offer free tours, even if you don't have a large group. This is a great way to learn about the area you're visiting as well as about the wine you've tasted. The tours are often about 15-20 minutes so you can easily add one to your itinerary.

Now that you've armed yourself with some insight and information, you're ready to venture in a relaxed and informed manner. Stay alert, and at the same time remember to relish the experience of meeting new people and embracing new cultures. Try these tips and you can be confident and enjoy the trip.

One type of trip you may have not planned before is a 'glam-ping' trip. This is a trip where you stay in tents but they are built with luxury specifications and already erected when you arrive on site!

If you take a closer look on how these metal detectors works, it is really quite simple - in detecting metallic objects they use the principles of electromagnetic induction that allows theses devices to identify any objects that has metallic properties. When metallic objects are detected there will be a beep alarm sound to notify the detection.
