The Vacation Rental Deposit Process
Jan 11th 2012, 03:07

Before you stay in a vacation rental there are a few nuances that need to be understood. Most have to do with money. Specifically, the deposit and then paying for the entire stay before you get to the property. It’s my understanding that a few countries around the world operate on a pay-when-you-get-there system, but in the United States, for the most part, it’s different. You pay for the entire stay before you cross the threshold, that’s your threshold; as in, you pay for everything before you leave your own home. This article talks about what you should expect concerning your deposit money when going into the vacation rental transaction. Depending upon the timeframe, there are typically two sets of monies sent: First is the deposit, including reservation, cleaning, pet, and damage. The second is the “remaining balance.” When it comes to vacation rentals, renters will be obligated to send in the above mentioned deposits at one time and then send in the remaining balance at another. If you are booking the vacation home within 60 days of travel you will, more than likely, be paying all of it in one fail swoop. In other words, you will be sending money to cover the deposit(s) and the accommodation amounts all at once. What is a Reservation Deposit? According to HomeAway, “Reservation Deposit: A certain amount of money collected upon booking that validates the rental contract. The reservation deposit can convert automatically into a security deposit.” Also: “Regardless of how far in advance the renter decides to book, you [the vacation rental owner/agent] should require a deposit and signed rental agreement in order to confirm the booking.” So, if you have your heart set on a specific property, the vacation rental owner/agent will ask you for your deposit, the remaining balance and a signed rental contract. If you want to move ahead with the rental agreement then get down to the specifics as to how they can receive money from you. What this means to you, as the renter, is that when you decide to stay at a certain property, you have to send some money to the owner/agent to take the property off the market and reserve it for your stay. Depending upon how far out you are booking, it may be a deposit only then the remaining balance or it may be both simultaneously. When you send money, in any format (credit card, check, paypal) you should consider itemizing what the money is to be used for and when they will be returned. However you send your money, send an email simultaneously with a return receipt request. In that email itemize the dollar amounts. For example, if you are sending money for a weeklong rental with a total of $1900.00 which includes a $500.00 “deposit” itemize the amount: $1400 for the vacation rental for one week and $500.00 for the security/damage deposit. Security deposit to be returned per the rental contract, assuming no damages, no later than “fill in the date.” You should keep the return receipt notice. What do you get for the deposit? The deposit allows for comfort on both sides of the transaction. From the renter’s point of view, if you have done your research, the deposit provides you with peace of mind in that you know that the property will be available for you when you arrive. From the owner/agent point of view, the deposit provides them the same peace of mind in knowing that the property is booked for that time period and they can focus on getting it booked at other times. Here at Vacation Rental Info we focus our time on helping renters avoid scams, but it’s a well know fact that the owners are as vigilant, if not more, than we are when it comes to smoking out scammers. Your deposit and final payment can help them immensely. When to pay remaining balance? The final balance is typically due between 14 to 30 days in advance of your stay. Again, from both sides of the transaction there are benefits in sending your money within this timeframe. The owner/agent will have a plenty of time for the money to clear and to get you any further instructions (i.e. keys, lockbox codes, directions) needed. For the renter, you’ll see the money clearing your account and can follow up with an email or call to the property principals to verify reception of funds and get any further questions you may have answered. Even if you have done all of your research you may feel that there is still a small chance for getting scammed. If you feel that there is a possibility of you showing up and the vacation rental is not real, one of the defense mechanisms you have is to use a credit card for all transactions. But, before you do, you need to understand the time period your credit card will give you to dispute a charge. Some card companies have very short periods, 30 days, some longer. Before you send any money, call your credit card company and get a full understanding of their policy when it comes to disputing charges. We’ve only had one problem with a deposit in the last 11 years but it was only a timing issue. The property owner was super busy and “hadn’t gotten around to it” one phone conversation with her solved that problem quickly.

 During the puberty stage, you start to have a sense of self-esteem. Usually at this tender phase, you are overly self conscious and are subject to hormonal changes as you go through the transition from childhood to adulthood. These are the years that Acne usually plagues millions of teenagers and hinder their self confidence and develop awkwardness towards dealing with any public appearance. Acne can create scars and is unsightly to the eyes that are why young people tend to be ashamed of suffering from this skin condition.

Teens usually fall prey to unscrupulous scams who actually sell fake, low-grade, ineffective, or worst poisonous Acne treatments. This is a hard fact that most parents fail to monitor with their minor since these teenagers are usually shy about asking for help in making they look good. Parents should take note of their teenager’s appearance as they are more likely to be conscious about it at their age. The adults should help their kids in finding the right resources in curing their Acne.

A Dermatologist consultation only takes a phone call to set an appointment. And they are the trained and educated experts in understanding you skin problems. In a derma clinic, everything looks professional and efficient – similarly to what they do as their job. Dermatologists also try to look good in their own skin and wear suitable work gear like Landau Scrubs in handling or treating their patients.

Regardless of what they are wearing, they should be presentable in talking with teen patients so as to encourage them to be motivated in curing their Acne to regain their self confidence.

Long term treatment for Acne produces gradual results that spell an almost permanent cure. Treatment usually last for two to four months, depending on the reaction of the teen’s skin. This is also safe and ensured of effective resolution since this comes from a professional skin doctor that is licensed to handle skin abnormalities and problems the right way. This usually includes medication, topical cream, and tips in preventing growth of acne.

Parents must keep their teenagers to stick with the intervention for it to bear a solution to their skin condition. Proper lifestyle like eating less oily foods, enough sleep, and personal hygiene can also help in reinforcing the treatment recommended by the dermatologist. In no time will the teen’s skin clear up and allow their self esteem to return.

The Best Cures For Male Yeast Infection
Jan 11th 2012, 04:07

Yeast infection (candida) in men is often considered an embarrassing condition. The awareness among men about the infection is also limited, because male candida is not as common as it is in women. Although sometimes it is developed due to sexual activity between infected partners, it is actually not a sexually transmitted disease.

So what are the best cures for male candida?

Before we throw light on some of the cures for the infection, it would be best to know some of the causes of the infection. Here is a list of causes for yeast infection, and this awareness can help you prevent it reoccurring.

Yeast infection causes:

• Lack of personal hygiene has been found as a cause for the infection. If you wear sweaty and damp clothes, it will provide an ideal opportunity for the candida to cause infection.

• A bad diet of yeast ‘feeding’ foods. Certain diets have also been found to cause the infection and foods with high sugar and carbohydrates could be avoided. People who are diabetic and with low immunity are also at risk.

• Sex is one of the causes of the infection. If your partner or spouse is infected, it is most likely that you will become infected too, if you have unprotected sex.

• Men who are uncircumcised also belong to a high-risk group. The folds of the foreskin are ideal places for the bacteria to grow and prosper.

If you find any of the above-mentioned conditions, it would be advisable to search for the best cure for male candida.

Yeast infection cures:

• Eliminating the root cause of candida is the only true, lasting solution to curing candida.

• If you do not want the infection to recur, it would be best to maintain personal hygiene and not use products with harsh chemical such as soaps and shower gels. These products create an imbalance in the candida found on our body.

• Using an anti-fungal cream can sometimes relieve the external infections on the skin. This should be applied on the affected area of the infection. It would be advisable for your partner to make use of the cream too. Unfortunately this does not treat the root cause of the candida infection.

• There are various prescription drugs advised by the doctor, which would help in bringing down the infection. But again you need to be aware that treating the root cause of the yeast infection is the best way to get lasting relief of the symptoms.

Practical Herbs to Grow in a Shade Garden
Jan 11th 2012, 04:52

Although herbs have the reputation of being sun lovers, there are many that like a partial shade garden and some that are happy in a shade garden that has very little sun. Herb gardens are very beautiful and practical, and the applications of herbs are many and varied. They can be grown for medicinal uses, cosmetic uses, household uses, for crafts and for culinary uses. I would like to introduce you to a few of my favorites. Peppermint (mentha x piperata) is a culinary herb, cosmetic herb, craft herb and tea herb as well as a medicinal herb. My peppermint is growing in almost full shade and is very happy. It will also grow in partial shade. Peppermint is used for skin and hair care. It makes a delicious tea, and is good for the digestive system. I add the leaves to other drinks as well. Lemonade with peppermint leaves added is one of my favorites. Mints are digestive aids and reduce flatulence. An infusion of peppermint is good as a facial steam for cleansing the skin, and is also used as a rinse for oily hair. Peppermint has so many good properties, anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic and antiviral. It also stimulates the liver and gallbladder increasing the flow of bile. There are many other mints that you may want to consider growing as well. Types of Mints for the Shade Garden Ginger mint (mentha x gentilis) Eau de Cologne Mint (mentha x piperata var.citrata ) has thin smooth leaves and purple runners with purplish flowers. In full sun it develops a strong eau-de-cologne scent and the whole plant is tinged purple. In shade the color is more of a copper color. It is used in potpourri and to make a honey-sweetened drink. The flavor is not good for mint sauce. Spearmint (mentha spicata ) is popular for making a mint sauce and is the most generally cultivated of the culinary mints. It is used to flavor vinegars, vegetables and desserts. Spearmint makes a wonderful tea. Applemint (x rotundifolia) and (mentha suaveolens) is also known as round-leaved mint. It has wrinkled leaves and is used for mint sauces, flavoring vinegars, vegetables and desserts. Applemint teas are popular drinks. Pineapple Mint (mentha variegata ) is also known as Variegated Apple Mint. Its leaves are splashed with a creamy white color. Bowles’ Mint (mentha x villosa var. alopecuroides) tolerates dry soil somewhat and is said to make a very good mint sauce. Horse Mint (mentha longifolia) has grayish and hairy leaves and has a somewhat musty smell. It is not recommended for culinary use.

What Is Interproximal Reduction in Orthodontics?
Jan 11th 2012, 05:56

The size and shape of the teeth can have as much to do with the appearance of your smile as anything that the orthodontist does with braces during treatment. Sometimes the teeth themselves must be altered slightly to give the best orthodontic result. Interproximal reduction is one procedure that your doctor might use to help give you your best result. Interproximal reduction (IPR) is a quick and easy procedure during which your orthodontist uses some very precise tools to change the shape and size of your teeth, primarily on the sides where they touch each other. This is done for three reasons. First, the upper or lower sets of teeth may be naturally the wrong size and don’t fit together well. Second, the shape of individual teeth may not allow them to lay next to each other ideally. This can adversely affect the appearance of a smile even though the bite may fit perfectly. Third, IPR is used in cases of mild crowding so that the removal of teeth can be avoided. When the teeth are the right sizes, the upper and lower sets fit together like gears. The upper teeth are slightly wider because they fit on the outside of the lower teeth. This is most obvious when comparing the size of the upper and lower front teeth. If the upper teeth are too wide or the lower teeth are too narrow, an overbite, crowding of the upper teeth, or spaces present in the lower arch may result. If the upper teeth are too narrow or the lower teeth are too wide, there will be spaces in the upper, crowding in the lower, or an underbite relationship. Dr. Wayne Bolton was the first dentist to scientifically explain this back in 1958. If the upper and lower arches do not match because of their size, orthodontists say that the patient has a “Bolton discrepancy. There are two options for correcting a Bolton discrepancy – making the teeth in the small arch bigger (composites, veneers, or crowns) or making the size of the teeth in the big arch smaller (interproximal reduction). In most patients there is plenty of extra enamel between the teeth. Using very thin diamond encrusted tools, your orthodontist can polish away small amounts of enamel to help your teeth fit better. This is a quick, painless procedure than can be done without anesthesia. Not only does it solve the size problem, it is a far more permanent solution than adding artificial materials to the natural teeth in the smaller arch. The second time your orthodontist may use interproximal reduction during your treatment is when you have teeth shaped such that they don’t lie next to each other very well. This is most obvious in the front part of the mouth where two triangular shaped teeth are touching near the biting edges but there are triangular-shaped spaces closer to the gum line. These are sometimes called “dark triangles.” The presence of dark triangles is determined by the shape of the teeth and the height of the gums between them. Your dentist can tell you how much each of these two variables contributes to your situation and if using IPR will improve the appearance of your smile. The last reason for using IPR is when there is too much crowding to align the teeth as they are, but not enough to justify removing any. This procedure is a key part of aligner therapy (Invisalign) where crowding problems are usually only mild to moderate and removing teeth is not desired. Interproximal reduction not only reduces crowding, it also creates smooth, flat surfaces that keep the teeth straight better after the braces have come off. Substantial amounts of space can be created by removing only tiny amounts of tooth structure from multiple teeth. If only ¼ mm of enamel is polished from each side of the six lower front teeth, the total amount of space created is 3mm! Research supports the use of interproximal reduction by showing no increased decay on the altered surfaces, greater stability after treatment, and no increase in sensitivity when the amount of enamel removed is kept within reasonable limits. Ask your orthodontist if interproximal reduction is right for your particular situation.

Seattle Scenes
Learn More About The 206 Area Code
Jan 11th 2012, 05:23

Area codes can tell you more about any phone number than you may think. When a caller is unknown, you may have very little information to go on. That means understand how area codes work and where each one may come from. When you are getting calls from the area code 206, you are getting call from the metropolitan area of Seattle and some of the suburbs. This is just one of five codes that are used in the state of Washington. The area code 206 is one of the most-used within the state. This is because of the city of Seattle and the large amounts of both landline and cellular numbers that are needed in that area. You will find that 206 has many other area codes nearby, and that is also due to the high demand for new phone numbers in that area. These codes were added to offset the need in such a densely populated area. What happens in an area like Seattle is that new area codes are added as splits or overlays. Code 206 was actually one of two original area codes within the state, and it has been split many times to meet the demand for numbers. There is a code designed to cover or overlay many codes in this state, including the area code 206. That code is 564, but it has not yet been put into use. Once the demand exceeds the numbers available, 564 will be put into action. When this happens, some many find their landline and cell phones have different area codes, which can be immensely confusing at first. If this were to happen, those in the area will have some time to adjust to the idea of having two area codes in the same region. However, those who are receiving calls for the 206 code will know that the calls are coming from or in Seattle, but those getting 564 calls won’t be as sure because it will cover a bigger area. That is not a concern right now, but it may be in the near future. For now, any number on your caller ID that comes up with the area code 206 are easily identified as numbers coming from the area you will find on an area code map. When your call has this code, you can find out more about any number in the area code 206 by finding many of the reverse landline and cell phone lookup services that are available online.
