Tax Free In Western Europe

The procedure of refundWhen the custom house stamp is on your tax-free checks, you are directed to the special VAT refund office at the International Airport. In some countries these offices are placed behind the passport control boundary, therefore money can be received already passing on embarkation. And in those countries, where VAT refund office is located in a concourse, you can remain without money, if you remember about them when you checked in already - you are not allowed to return back to a concourse.



Therefore you had better to learn about VAT refund office location beforehand.But there is no problem, if you had no time to receive your money at the airport. You can make it in any other VAT refund office - their network covers entire world.Whether is possible to get the VAT refund without tax-free check?it is possible, but under one condition - if you are going to return to the country, where have got the goods. So, in Holland you can get the VAT refund, having made purchase in any shop even if it is not included in TFS system.



You buy the goods, then take them out of EU and imprint a customs house stamp on the usual commodity check. Procedure and restrictions are the same: show the check, passport and goods, the stamp of customs house should be put on the check not later than 30 days after purchase of the goods. Then, when in any time you again come to Holland (or in other EU country), you or your close confidant goes in shop, where the goods were bought, and receive there all sum of the VAT without a deduction of the commission.



Compare: by special tax-free check at departure from Holland you receive 10 % from cost of the goods, and in shop - 17 %. The procedure is known enough and spread. The experienced people advice: buying the goods, you had better to agree with the manager of shop beforehand upon the later opportunity to get the VAT refund in such a way. Then certainly everything will be in order.Tax-free and duty-freeIf you went abroad, at the airports for certain you saw shops and booths under the badge "duty-free".



("Tax-free" and "duty-free" is the same). The duty-free trade is organized also in planes making the international flights, on ferries plying between two countries, on cruise ships. The prices of goods are lower here, than in usual shops. Besides that, what is significant and important, the duty-free shops are open not only for the foreigners, but also for the citizens of the country who leaving abroad. The main thing - that the goods shouldn't be imported back into the same country. Therefore at the airport you can get the goods only by presentation of the ticket on departure from the country.

Cruises and Cuisine Go Hand In Hand

ฉ 2006, All Rights ReservedFrom weekend workshops to full-service culinary academies, men and women are drawn to cooking lessons. Now you can incorporate your love for cooking with your dreams of high seas adventure because more and more cruise ships are offering cooking-related events onboard. Originally attributed to small cruise ships that needed an incentive to gain bookings, cooking cruises have grown over the years and are now found aboard large vessels. One of the most recent announcements is from Holland America.



Working in conjunction with Food & Wine magazine, Holland America's Culinary Arts Center will offer demonstrations and seminars from world-renowned chefs, wine experts, cookbook authors and more.A fleet-wide enhancement, the Culinary Arts Center will be retrofit onto all 13 existing ships and will also be incorporated into the upcoming 14th ship due to launch in summer 2008. Each Culinary Arts Center will include theater-style seating, state-of-the-art show kitchen, plasma screens that allow every participant to see, a display counter for easy viewing and space for guests to participate in preparing some of the dishes.



Upgrades to all Holland America's ships will be complete by summer 2006 allowing each ship to include Culinary Arts Center activities during each cruise.One small cruise company offers tours featuring chefs from the world-famous Le Cordon Bleu. As you cruise the Baltic Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea, you can enjoy studying under talented instructors. Other small ships sail to Greece, Turkey and other worldwide destinations offering cooking classes based on each region visited.Over 60 top chefs are slated to appear during the next 12 months on Holland America's ships including Nick Stellino, chef and host of Nick Stellino's Family Kitchen V; Jacques Torres, chocolatier, pastry chef and cookbook author; Aaron Sanchez, chef and owner of Paladar, New York City; Michelle Bernstein, owner and chef of MB restaurant in Cancun; Neal Gallagher, chef of Oceana (and voted Best New Chef of 2003); Charles Dale, founder of Aspen's Renaissance, Range and Rustique restaurants, and the list goes on.



Food preparation, wine tasting, cooking classes, seminars, book signings, question-and-answer sessions and market tours in port are just a few of the activities passengers on various ships can look forward to.When booking a cooking cruise, look for themes such as grilling, desserts, healthy entrees, Italian, Mexican, etc. In addition, also ask about group discounts. Holland's Culinary Group Program offers special fares for groups of 25 or more, a cabin for a guest chef, two one-hour demonstration sessions, a complimentary wine tasting or cocktail party and a color group photo.



Most cooking cruises allow you to eat what has been prepared, so you can literally taste the fruits of your labor. However, samples may not be enough for an entire meal. If the cooking tour you book is aboard a smaller ship rather than a large vessel with onboard restaurants, you might be wise to ask if a meal will be served prior to booking your reservation.Whether you opt for an intimate-sized ship with only a few hundred passengers and a defined itinerary or a large vessel capable of sailing the world, cooking cruises are fun, entertaining and exciting for every member of the family.



Ask your travel agent for the details on cooking cruises available in the destinations you want to sail.

New Group Cruise Options, By Cindy Bertram

It is no secret cruise lines offer their passengers more choices than ever. Yes, cruise guests still sail for the dining, ports and entertainment, but now you can build your group around golfing, wine, health and fitness, culinary arts, holistic health and spa elements, theater, enrichment series and renowned lecturers.The high interest levels in health and fitness have carried over to the cruise industry. Cunard Line introduced the Canyon Ranch Health Spa onboard their Queen Mary 2 when she was launched in 2004.



Manned by a staff of 51, this state of the art 20,000 square-foot facility offers guests the chance to enjoy unique therapeutic water and rejuvenating spa treatments, including the exotic Rasul Ceremony, a Canyon Ranch signature item. And Holland America Lines Signature of Excellence program, a $225 million initiative launched in late 2003 to enhance and upgrade all the areas of their fleet, includes partnering with another spa stalwart The Greenhouse Spa. Holland America Lines ships will all feature The Greenhouse Spa by early 2006.



These offer great avenues to build a group theme around health, wellness, and therapeutic areas. Carnival Cruise Lines is offering their second annual Mind/Body Cruise aboard their Carnival Pride this fall, which features a faculty of experts from Shape and Mens Fitness magazines. Informative seminars are devoted to health, fitness and nutrition.Wine lovers who like to cruise also have a new option. Carnival Cruise Lines recently launched its Presidential Wine Club, the cruise industrys first. Carnival President and CEO, Robert Dickinson, a noted wine collector and connoisseur who is the namesake behind the Presidential Wine Club, is hosting a Carnival Wine Cruise aboard the Carnival Liberty in December of 2005.



During this inaugural Presidential Wine Club Cruise, a number of events will be featured, including informative seminars with wine experts, gala wine tastings, and wine-themed parties. And extensive, personalized activities are also part of the cruise, ranging from two different wine tasting seminars featuring not just the wines but also the winemakers, to special opening and farewell receptions and nightly food pairings.Culinary arts enthusiasts also have a new alternative. Spending more than $13 million to create and install special Culinary Arts Center facilities on all of their ships, Holland America is the first cruise line to create these dedicated show kitchens at sea.



Guests on select Holland America Line cruises will have an opportunity to experience seminars and demonstrations conducted by top chefs, leading cookbook authors and wine experts provided by Food & Wine.If you have golf enthusiasts in your group, Norwegian Cruise Line has a solution. NCL offers weekly cruises throughout the Hawaiian Islands, and their new Golf Hawaii program ties in beautifully with some of Hawaiis most intriguing golf courses. Golfers do not even have to bring along their own golf clubs, and golf shoes are also available for rental.



Guests can choose to play from among five different golf courses during the cruise, on Kauai, Kona and Maui. The Golf Hawaii components can be pre-reserved, so morning tee times are guaranteed in advance at Hawaiis best courses.For cruise enthusiasts who prefer a bit of intellectual stimulation, groups have even more from which to select. Celebrity Cruises, for instance, has expanded their Celebrity Discoveries program, with up to four lecturers on every cruise, ranging from caricature artists onboard Bermuda and Caribbean sailings to residential naturalists on the lines Alaskan, Hawaii and South American cruises.



In 2005, famous onboard personalities included actors like Larry Hagman, Ernest Borgnine, Jane Powell, Orson Bean, and Rita Moreno, news correspondents such as CBS Evening News Ike Pappas and NBC News Irving R. Levine, and former Olympic gymnast Cathy Rigby.

Americana Mailboxes

American Mailboxes are rectangular multi-compartment mailboxes that are ideal for use in private postal centers, military bases, police stations, schools and colleges, corporate mailrooms, government agencies, and many other applications. All models of the mailbox units have the same outside dimensions and therefore are designed to be stacked two high and mount adjacent to each other or between wall studs.Americana Mailboxes are constructed of twenty gauge steel and have zinc die-cast doors. Each door has a five pin cylinder cam lock with two keys.



The doors are attached with four screws which hinge the doors on zinc frames. Various models of these mailboxes units are available with 8, 14, 16, and 30 doors. Mailbox units with 8 doors will have compartments measuring 11 inches wide and 6 inches in height. Mailbox units with 14 doors will have 12 compartments measuring 5 1/2 inches wide and 6 inches in height plus 2 compartments measuring 11 inches wide and 6 inches in height.

The front door panel is opened via two master commercial locks.All compartments of the Americana Mailboxes have a tan powder coated finish. A powder coated finish is far superior to conventional paint. A powder coated finish is applied in an electrical process by giving the base metal and the dry free flowing powder opposite electrical charges. When the powder is applied to the metal with this electrical process it forms an extremely strong adhesion or bond.



The powder can be applied at various levels of thickness and it is heated or cured to form a uniform, texture-smooth, high quality finish that is both attractive and durable. This finish will protect the base metal from rust and corrosion for many decades. It is also easy to clean with standard household cleaners when graffiti or paint is applied.Modern mail delivery and the mailbox are believed to have originated in Paris, France in 1653. By 1829 mailboxes had become much more common are were installed and used throughout France.



The concept traveled to the United States and public mail collection boxes started appearing in the 1850s. In 1863 the United States created

STOP! How to FINALLY Succeed With Internet Marketing & Fire Your Boss in 90 Days (or Less)

I know you're skeptical, right? I mean....quitting your day job in 90 days seems (and feels) a bit ambitious, I agree! But the simple truth is, you CAN do it...and unless you've got a really high paying day job as Chippendale dancer like I used to (it's exploitative, but they paid me really well) you can make more money through Internet marketing than just about anything else that's legal out there.The truth? Making money online, especially as an affiliate, boils down to 3 primary principles.You MUST Pick Quality Offers You MUST Learn the Right Way to Do Keyword Research And You MUST Be Willing to SCALE Your SuccessesHere is what I mean, how it applies to my specific business, and how you can emulate the same for yours.



I do a ton of content creation.Article marketing, blog building, content syndication, etc.The offers that I pick, from an affiliate standpoint, are the PRIMARY factor in how profitable all of this is. If I build a network of diet sites, and write 30 unique articles to spread amongst them, and use RSS and article aggregators, and the offer I'm promoting does NOT convert? I've just wasted a time of energy, effort and income.So picking the RIGHT offers is paramount. (and thankfully, almost EVERY major networks has metrics in place that will tell you, ahead of time, how well their offers are performing)Keyword research is super important, but don't obsess over it.



Picking the right offers, and scaling them out, is really the key, to making REAL money, real fast and often on autopilot once you get going.Remember, strategies of scale just mean that ONE article can be re-purposed across multiple mediums, and many unique channels. And 30 articles, done the same way, gives you a strategy of scale, where the same "words" work for you, in a multiplicity of ways. (very powerful, and the key to TRULY making a fortune with free traffic and affiliate marketing!)All of this can be EASILY done in 3 months.



Usually less. And like I said, if you're super sexy like me and have a professional, high paying job like a male exotic dancer, you'll still find online marketing a better way to make a living - it's less travel, you don't have to wear a tuxedo to work and no mullet is required to get the big tips.
