Finding the perfect rent a car in Menorca

As a woman who loves to travel to Europe but mainly to countries like France and Spain where I can stay in amazing islands like Ibiza, I am already planning my next trip to the Spanish islands and still wondering if I am going to Ibiza or Menorca. Anyway, I have already made up my mind that I will be renting a car in Menorca or Ibiza, depending on my personal choice.

Personally, I believe that it is possible to find the best Rent a car Menorca by having a look at eurorent.es which is a famous company for renting cars in Europe thanks to the fact that it is extremely affordable and it is also a great service! Moreover, if you are already in Spain and used to the language, then you have probably already heard about the Alquiler coches en Menorca (this is how Spanish people would refer to rent a car in Menorca) provided by many companies but my experience tells me that eurorent.es is the company offering the widest range of cars to choose from and the best rates that you will ever find in Menorca!

So, do you need to find yourself the ideal “Coches Alquiler en Menorca” just as the Spanish say? If you do, then you need to take some of your time to visit the website to which I have linked above and see with your own eyes how incredibly easy it is to find a car that really suits your personal needs.

Great Smoky Mountains Park marks the 75th anniversary

Now that almost everyone is going to the beaches and enjoying the sun, the truth is that there are many woman who, just like me, also love to travel to the mountains and enjoy the amazing views that you get from there! Below is another msnbc.com article which shows why choosing the mountains is also a good choice:

"

GATLINBURG, Tenn. - The ancient blue-green mountains with breathtaking vistas and distinctive mists are home to salamanders and black bears, 19th century log cabins, rippling streams, waterfalls and more than 800 miles of trails, including a large section of the Georgia-to-Maine Appalachian Trail.

It's little wonder the Great Smoky Mountains attracts more than 9 million visitors a year, twice as many as any other national park in the United States.

"No matter what your interest is, everybody that visits here can make a personal connection in one way or another," said Ann Froschauer, who works with key park support groups, the Friends of the Smokies and the Great Smoky Mountain Association.

"That's why we have folks who come back year after year. They bring their kids and their grandkids. Because something here touched them."

The 520,000-acre preserve straddling the Tennessee-North Carolina border, named by the Cherokee Indians as "The Land of Blue Smoke" for its signature natural mist, marks its 75th birthday on June 15.

Featured events on the anniversary weekend include a Knoxville Symphony concert with U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander playing piano among the old cabins and barns in pastoral Cades Cove near Townsend. There also will be a groundbreaking for a $2.5 million Oconaluftee visitor center in Cherokee, N.C., that will highlight Cherokee Indian and Appalachian culture.

A Sept. 2 ceremony at Newfound Gap will mark President Franklin D. Roosevelt's original dedication of the park "to the free people of America" in 1940. President Barack Obama has been invited.

Dozens of related activities are occurring throughout the year in surrounding communities — museum exhibitions, parades, family reunions and a Dolly Parton-penned musical about the Smokies at her Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, with CD profits benefiting the park.

"Our anniversary has been a reason for so many people to pause and think back," Smokies Superintendent Dale Ditmanson said. "It has been a time of reflection (and) a jumping off point."

Don Shoulders of Goodlettsville, Tenn., remembers the first time he saw the Smokies in 1936.

The Depression-era farmboy was barely 17 when he signed up with hundreds of other young men in FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps. As many as 4,000 at a time would work in the Smokies, laying the foundation for the park by erecting stone bridges and buildings, cutting trails and planting trees.

"It is the first time I heard of the Smokies," the 90-year-old Shoulders said. CCC examiners in Nashville warned him about ridge-running in the mountains. "They said one leg would be that much shorter than the other when you come out," he laughed.

After a long trip by train and truck, Shoulders and his comrades arrived at the former logging camp of Tremont in the middle of the night.

"We had some boys that were just so homesick they was a-crying. I felt like I had done the wrong thing ... until I woke up the next morning, and I said, 'I am in a new world!'"

Shoulders would spend three years in Tremont, earning $30 a month — $25 of which was sent home. He dug trails and performed other necessary work, including as latrine orderly. He ate well, gained weight — 127 pounds when he arrived, 150 pounds when he left — and developed an enduring fondness for the Smokies.

When he finally returned 27 years later, he said the park had been transformed, the forest restored. "It was a different place. It really changed." He's been back with his family every year since.

In his 1940 dedication, Roosevelt said Americans had "used up or destroyed much of our natural heritage just because that heritage was so bountiful."

In the Smokies, he said, "are trees ... that stood before our forefathers ever came to this continent; there are brooks that still run as clear as on the day the first pioneer cupped his hand and drank from them.

"

"In this park, we shall conserve these trees, ... the trout and the thrush for the happiness of the American people."

In fact, the Smokies had been heavily logged by timber companies, muddying the streams and leaving only about a quarter of the old-growth forest intact. Boar from nearby game preserves moved in, nonnative rainbow trout were stocked in streams and a blight soon killed off the massive American Chestnut trees that once covered 40 percent of the forest.

Park managers continue to battle these issues, while new pests threaten hemlocks and dogwoods and decimate the firs in the park's Nova Scotia-like higher elevations.

Still, Supervisory Ranger Kent Cave said, "It is a testament to the regenerative powers of Mother Nature that the forest has regrown. It looks, I am sure, similar to the way it did when Native Americans used the land or the first European settlers came."

The importance of a Pdf search engine

As a business woman who reads a lot of books but also many eBooks, I am aware of the fact that books in the .pdf format are playing an increasingly important role in our lives as the ultimate source for fast information.

Still, we often find ourselves wondering where we should look for some new eBooks and .pdf files that we have read in the past but which we seem unable to find now. This has happened to me before and that’s exactly why I would recommend everyone to have a look at this Pdf Search Engine so that you can find yourself a suitable place where you may search for the eBooks that you need.

Celebrety getaways

Would you like to know where celebreties spend their holidays? Would you love to buy a villa right next to them? If that's the case, then you definitely need to take some of your time to read the msnbc.com article below and find some amazing facts that you are probably unaware of:

"

Even if you're not a financial peeping tom, the annual Forbes Celeb 100 list is still a valuable snapshot of pop culture. By checking its rankings, we know who's seen their hard work pay off, and who hasn't. In terms of earnings, yes, but more importantly in terms of visibility, influence and access. That, after all, is the true currency of global culture.

But big- and small-screen success doesn't immunize the world's glitterati from global crises. It's been a stressful year for everyone. And just like us, celebrities need to get away from the seemingly constant stream of bad news. (The markets! Swine flu! What about those nukes?) Considering that every celeb on the list is a millionaire at least once over, it's little surprise that the Celeb 100's getaways are also worth peeping at.

Take Simon Cowell, for instance. The acerbic "American Idol" judge was famous in England long before the U.S. learned to love (or hate?) his caustic, cutthroat comments to wannabe pop stars. So he's had years to find his footing among the world's rich and powerful. Though the globally famous television personality calls London's posh Holland Park home, he recently moved into a $22 million mansion in Beverly Hills; naturally, there's a tanning salon on the premises. Cowell also owns a villa in Spain and an "investment property" on Dubai's Palm Jumeirah Island.

But when Cowell is looking for a Caribbean vibe, he hops a private jet to Barbados, where he's reportedly sunk nearly $15 million into a six-bedroom vacation estate situated on 10 perfect acres. He's hardly the first celeb to take a liking to the island paradise. Hugh Grant, British billionaire Philip Green, David Frost and Andrew Lloyd Webber have soaked up its sun in recent years.

Not every celeb needs an $8,000-a-night island villa to relax. Some, like Angelina Jolie (No.1) and Brad Pitt, prefer the city to the sand. The planet's most famous couple is known for setting up shop in temporary homes around the world, typically determined by Jolie's or Pitt's work schedule. It's a good thing their children "like to pack," as Jolie told Entertainment Tonight.

Most recently, Jolie has been living in Long Island, N.Y., where she's shooting the spy thriller "Salt" for director Phillip Noyce. Pitt, meanwhile, has been spotted elsewhere around the world, both with and without the kids.

When this family of seven wants to get away together, they return to their 1830s mansion in New Orleans' French Quarter, which they reportedly purchased for $3.5 million in 2007.

While staying in their six-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom mansion getaway, Jolie and Pitt can indulge their other passion: charity work. Pitt sponsors the Sustainable Design Competition for New Orleans, which solicits environmentally low-impact architecture designs. And together, they founded Make It Right, a nonprofit foundation dedicated to rebuilding the city post-Katrina.

Like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie—and many other celebrities on the Celeb 100 list—Tom Cruise has a lifestyle where work and play are forever mingled. When he's not in a far-flung land filming his next blockbuster, he's promoting his current one. For certain movie premieres, he brings along wife Katie Holmes and their daughter Suri.

This year, the TomKat clan found time to relax in Rio de Janeiro, where Cruise's film "Valkyrie" was opening. After checking into the legendary Copacabana Palace Hotel, the happy trio hit Rio's world-famous beaches where they built sand castles and even posed for photos with lucky locals. They ended the weekend with a helicopter tour of the city.

Self-proclaimed King of All Media Howard Stern prefers to get away to his own home. When he and Beth Ostrosky were married in October, 2008, they didn't honeymoon in Bali or Hawaii or even Niagara Falls. They went to their favorite place in the world: Southampton, N.Y. "There’s no place we’d rather be,” Ostrosky told Hamptons magazine in 2008, citing their weekend getaways when the shock jock was courting the 36-year-old model/actress.

Their newly renovated 16,000-square-foot beachfront home, which Stern purchased for $18.75 million in 2005, features two bowling alleys and a "shoe room." The latter, presumably, is for the bride.

Whether you're hopping a jet to your own faraway getaway or sticking close to the comforts of home, someone on the Celeb 100 list has the same idea.

Finding a plumber in your area

Even considering the fact that we are not skilled enough to take full care of our houses when their need to be repaired or something needs to be replaced, the truth is that it is up to us to decide which services and professionals we are going to hire in order to do the job for us!

Keeping this in mind, I would personally say that it is extremely important that we always find a very experienced plumber that also does a great job in any situation. Still, sometimes it can be really difficult to find that plumber and that’s exactly why I would like to recommend all my readers from Sacramento and nearby areas to have a look at these Sacramento Plumber services which include construction but also remodeling jobs. Furthermore, after you take some time to visit the website above and see how it all works, then you may also want to call the (916) 273-3834 and find the answer for any question that you may have.

So, why don’t you plan in advance and find yourself the perfect plumber for you before an emergency surprises you? I would advise you to have a look at the website above and see how easy it is to find a very skilled plumber in your area.

Traveling to outer space

Even considering the fact that it is incredibly expensive, would you consider traveling to outer space and see the Earth from the space? I would personally love to do it but it is still too soon to make that decision as prices are still too high and it still sounds a bit unsecure to me! Below is another msnbc.com article telling you the story of a man who will be doing this trip very soon:

"

TORONTO - Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte is set to become Canada's first paying space passenger when he travels on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft in September.

A spokeswoman for the circus troupe, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the trip Wednesday to The Canadian Press.

The 49-year-old Laliberte is in Moscow for Thursday's official announcement, which will be made simultaneously at the Canadian Space Agency's headquarters near Montreal.

Laliberte's net worth was listed as $2.5 billion in Forbes' magazine's 2009 roundup of the world's billionaires. Forbes reported that the Quebec native is divorced with five children. He is also known as a celebrity on the international poker circuit, occasionally playing in televised card tournaments.

Laliberte would become the seventh private citizen to visit the international space station since April 2001. Past visits by paying space passengers have lasted anywhere from a week to 12 days. The quoted rate for the trip aboard the Soyuz has risen over the past eight years from $20 million to $35 million or more.

The schedule calls for Laliberte to fly to the station alongside Russian cosmonaut Maxim Suraev and NASA astronaut Jeffrey Williams on a Soyuz "taxi" flight, then return to Earth on a different Soyuz with the station's current commander, Russia's Gennady Padalka, and NASA's Michael Barratt.

Laliberte's visit, like the earlier multimillion-dollar trips, is being brokered by Virginia-based Space Adventures. In January, Russian space chief Anatoly Perminov said there would be no more "tourist" trips to the space station, but September's seat opened up when the Kazakh government canceled its reservation to fly a professional cosmonaut. Perminov now says "this form of tourism will continue." (The paying spaceflight participants generally prefer calling themselves "private explorers" rather than space tourists.)

Laliberte will become the third Canadian to visit the international space station this year. One astronaut, Robert Thirsk, is there now for a long-duration stay. Another Canadian, Julie Payette, is due to visit the station this month during the shuttle Endeavour's construction visit.

Family travels don't need to be boring

Even considering the ammount of entertainment that consoles may bring us when traveling with the family, the truth is that there are many other gadgets that will surely allow you to have a great time during the long travels... Below is another msnbc.com article telling you which are the gadgets that will bring you that joy:

"

Like Lucy and Ethel or America and apple pie, summertime and family road trips have always gone together. The car journeys from our childhood were often frugal expeditions where nobody put too much thought into creature comforts. We’d drive in the heat of summer without any air conditioning, windows rolled down, our legs sticking to the vinyl seats. Come to think of it, safety was never a high priority back then, either. Carseats? Seatbelts? Forget about it.

Thankfully, road travel has changed a lot since then. A look at this year’s crop of new cars reveals a mind-boggling array of parent- and kid-friendly features. Renting one of the newest car models on your next family road trip can be a great way to test drive some of the most fun bells and whistles coming out of the auto industry. Here’s a look at some of the gadgets that could shorten your family drives this summer.

Backseat bonanzas

Satellite radio and TV: Tired of listening to those same old Raffi CDs over and over? Sirius XM features kids’ programming such as Radio Disney and Kids Place Live, while older kids will go nuts for the vast array of pop music, sports, and comedy channels. (Be careful to avoid the blue ones, unless you want George Carlin to posthumously brief your kids on the seven words once not allowed on television.) Even more tempting, perhaps, is Sirius Backseat TV, a trio of satellite TV channels that carry shows from Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and the Disney Channel. So far Sirius Backseat TV is available pre-installed in only a handful of models, including the Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, and Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Rear seat DVD/gaming: In-car DVD entertainment systems are now a commonplace feature of many family vehicles, but they have become much better over time. Some vehicles now feature multi-screen systems with individual video inputs, allowing one kid to watch a video on one screen while another child connects a video game system to the other. The most convenient layouts no longer require using a power adapter in the cigarette lighter, so look for vehicles like the 2009 Dodge Journey crossover that offer power outlets in the backseat.

Refrigerator: The 2009 Ford Flex family hauler offers an optional food cooler and heater in the second-row console. The device can chill drinks or preserve food, or it can heat up and keep hot food steaming and ready to eat hours later. And presto!—the possibilities for roadside picnics are now officially endless.

Storable table: In the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country, a table can be installed in the floor between the second and third rows of seats. The second row’s Swivel ’n Go seats can be turned to face backward, and you can turn the rearmost video screens so they can be seen from the backward-facing seats. The table becomes a social scene for sharing snacks, books, and video games, as well as providing an eating surface and, at least theoretically, a forum for kids to play board games together.

Frontseat features

GPS navigation systems: Getting lost on road trips was once an annual ritual that always ended with Dad refusing to stop to ask for directions. A navigation system can not only prevent such destination-delaying headaches, it can also point perplexed parents to the nearest source of fast food when the back seat hunger meltdown reaches critical mass. Need to find a nearby hotel, picnic spot, or gas station? An on-board navigation system can answer all your questions as quickly as a Magic 8-Ball, but more reliably.

Telematics services: Communications services such as General Motors’s OnStar, Toyota’s Safety Connect and Mercedes-Benz’s Tele-Aid provide peace of mind that, in the event of a crash, your car will automatically send out an SOS. But OnStar has an edge in that it also offers a concierge service, which can help locate gas stations, restaurants, hotels, repair shops, and other necessities, and can automatically transmit directions to the car’s navigation system. The advantage here is that OnStar does the research for you while you keep driving, saving you from having to stop and scroll through all the various options in the nav system.

Rear cameras: Vehicles with back-up cameras are safer because they help you avoid backing into people or objects. But on a car trip, when your view out the back window may be obscured by heaps of luggage and you are on unfamiliar turf, a back-up camera may prove the difference between a non-event and catastrophe.

Swanky seats: Nothing puts a damper on the collective family mood like a driver immobilized by back pain after a couple of eight-hour days in the saddle. Adjustable seats with lumbar support and seat heaters and coolers can go a long way to ensuring that grown-ups reach the destination able to keep up with the kids. The new Ford Taurus family car adds a feature that is unusual even among high-end luxury cars: a massaging seat that continuously adjusts its settings, like a business-class airline seat or the pedicure chair at Mom’s favorite nail salon.
