As the SEO specialist for the RentIn Group I am responsible for the smooth operation of Search Engine Marketing and natural rankings within the search engines !  Under normal circumstances the development of the Apartment Rentals / Villa Rentals sites for locations across Spain is generally business as usual, yet the original Nerja site needs a slight name change to fit in with the other websites representing areas such as Mijas, Marbella and Javea.

Now this is a worrying time!  The transfer of content etc is not the problem, its keeping the visitor traffic from the search engines coming to the site which presents the problem when changing domain names.  Why? . . . because all of the links already listed by Google are all pointing to the old domain name, which provides the “authority” count for Google as part of its valuation on how important the site is compared to every other site on the same subject.  So the question for me is how do I go about transferring all of this good ‘authority’ indexed by Google - over to the new domain and avoid loosing our position within Googles Search Results.

Clearly there’s a lot of links within Blogs, reviews and forums where folk have referenced the Nerja Villa Rentals web site and there’s very little chance of getting those links changed, so we run the risk of losing the “link juice” from most of them.  Thankfully we are holding onto the original domain and and there’s what is called a permanent redirect (code 301) that we can set on the original domains server which informs the search engines, when they follow the original links to the original site, that there is a new location for the content of the page and this new location for the Nerja Villa Rentals will be updated over time within the search engines and the transfer of most of the “authority” value of a site should move over to the new domain.

Google’s Matt Cutts mentioned in his blog that its a good idea to leave up the 301 redirections on the old domain for at least 18months…   clearly because there’s not guarantee that Google will cover the whole of the inbound links/web pages of a sight within a shorter period of time.  Of course, this means continuing to pay the domain and hosting fees of the old domain along with the new domain.  However, under the circumstances and the importance of maintaining a decent position within Google for Nerja Accommodation Rental then we have no other option.

When you buy a home infrared sauna, you can choose either an indoor or outdoor model. You should make a decision on the model before you shop and buy. The models for indoors /outdoors vary, so make that decision before you are ready to purchase. I would suggest if you re in doubt regarding indoors or outdoors, look at the different models and what is required to install both and the footprint both types of models would require. Just knowing the difference between the two might help make up your mind for how you want to enjoy your new corner sauna . Indoor sauna has their merits as do the outdoor models.

Your decision will be important since the construction of an indoor home infrared sauna is different from an outdoor model. The indoor sauna model is designed more with the exterior finish in mind to blend in with the appointments in the room where the sauna will be used. The outdoor model will provide stronger construction to provide the necessary longevity to withstand the outdoor elements. Consider an outdoor home infrared sauna has a roof to prevent water from leaking inside the sauna during rains. Outdoor saunas construction for the outdoors will have reinforced joints to withstand heavy wind and driving rains. The inside construction, likewise, is heavily protected against any leaks to protect the electrical installation.

After all your considerations of what you want from your new sauna and how you want to enjoy it, you have finally decided on the outdoor model sauna, make sure that it is fully certified for safety and quality standards. Another very important consideration for the outdoor sauna model, selecting an area that is somewhat elevated where there is no possibility of flooding during some unexpected storms. If your yard area is an area that continually floods during heavy rains, then you will have to construct a base or foundation support to raise the sauna off the ground… This will prevent water from reaching your outdoor sauna. Unlike in an indoor infrared sauna that has a more simple installation with just a simple plug into a 110 outlet, the outdoor sauna will require a profession electrician for the proper power outlet installation so you can enjoy your new outdoor infrared sauna with peace of mind that it has been installed properly.

I would advise, however, that if you have ample space in your home to buy an indoor type of infrared home sauna. No matter what Mother Nature might bring to your area you won’t loose one day of use do to the weather, or just not having the desire to walk outside in the rain or snow or blizzard to get to your sauna.

You can find beaches, exquisite scenery, dining, entertainment, shopping, sights, and much more there. For those who are looking for a tropical destination to spend their vacation or enjoy a romantic honeymoon it is an ideal destination.

Because it is an American state, Hawaii is easily reached by plane from any major American city. There is a wide variety of vacation rentals from which to choose, no matter how long your visit. Hawaiians are a warm, hospitable people sure to make your vacation memorable.

There are even luxury penthouses, right on the beach, ensuring a romantic atmosphere.

The island of Hawaii, the largest of the Hawaiian Isles, is simply called the ‘Big Island’ by locals. A Big Island vacation condo can be found convenient to the most desirable locations on the island, which offers a diverse geography dominated by huge mountain ranges and volcanoes, rain forests, and relatively uncrowded beaches along the Kona Coast. There are hiking trails allowing for exploration of lava fields, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea mountains, Hawaii Volcanoes, National Parks and coffee farms.

The locals are hospitable and will make you feel at home.

Even though the economy is bad, we still need a little vacation now and then. I’ve been doing some research into saving money while still having a nice trip. I’ve been checking out some of the online travel websites. It seems that they all find very similar travel deals when searching for plane fares and hotels.

I can recommend a good website that will lead you to good deals on hotel reservations. Basically you want to use a travel website that has a reputation for providing a trouble-free vacation. Then I was thinking about where to go where it’s easy to find good prices on air travel or where I can drive my car. One obvious choice is Southern California. There are several airports and lots of activities for all seasons of the year.

A lot of vacation ideas are provided at the SoCal Vacation Guru site. It focuses mainly on Orange County and Los Angeles County, but will eventually expand to provide more information on San Diego County and the Inland Empire desert and mountain areas as well. But there’s great information about Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, the beaches, shopping, dining and other activities. There are discussions about saving money and how to arrange for the best trip if you only have a limited amount of time.

If you are a roller coaster fan, the SoCal Vacation Guru compares the major southern california theme parks on their thrill rides (Six Flags Magic Mountain and Knott’s Berry Farm win in that category). In fact there are few places in the country where you can visit a half-dozen theme parks within a couple of hours drive from each other.

The SoCal theme parks include Disneyland (with Disney’s California Adventure), Knott’s, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Universal Studios Hollywood, SeaWorld and Legoland. Of course visiting all of those would not be particularly cheap, but you could fit a lot of vacation fun into a short period of time, so you might save on airfare and hotel reservations.

Winter and Spring are probably good times to schedule a vacation, as the crowds are often lighter then at many Southern California vacation destinations. Compared to other parts of the US, the winter and spring weather in California is very reasonable.

Also, it looks like the economy has a lot of hotels really wanting our business. We might get better deals now if fewer people are taking rooms and buying tickets to theme parks. Anyway, just some things to consider as we live with the recession.

Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to give you some top tips for getting great pictures. Big cats have a personality all of their own and each breed is quite different. This will affect how you photograph each species of cat. For instance some are quick and move rapidly, others will sit and take a more leisurely approach. This article is set out into sections so you can dip into the bits most relevant to you.

So what do we mean by Big Cats, lets start with the rarest cats in the world, The Russian Amur Leopard, around 150 in captivity and only 30 in the wild, then we have the Snow Leopard, now only found in the inaccessible hills in Pakistan. On the Tiger front you have the Sumatran Tiger, then the Amur Tiger as it now know but better known as the Siberian Tiger. Then there are Lynx, Lion, Cheetah, Serval and Puma also known as the Mountain Lion or Cougar - they are all the same cat.

First of all don’t be fooled into thinking that you need a top of the range film or digital SLR camera and lenses to get great pictures. You don’t. Both compact and the intermediate bridge cameras are more than capable of capturing great images. Many photographers that have come on Big Cat Photo Experience Day have started with a compact camera and found that they can get great images. They have returned and some have even found that they got so much more from photography than they ever thought they could. Others just come and enjoy the close contact with such magical animals.

This guide is based upon many years as a professional photographer capturing some of the rarest cats in the world , all kept within a private collection for breeding purposes with the aim that they are returned to the wild, so long as the human race hasn’t ruined the original habitat. For the Sumatran Tiger, that I fear is a rare hope, but with new cubs born late 2008 there is a glimmer of hope.

Compacts and Bridge Cameras

The real bonus of these cameras is their size. Being small and compact they fit through the wire of the enclosure so that’s one less thing to worry about. All you do need to do is watch what the cats are doing so they don’t take your camera off you! And trust me if they get hold of it they will win - no negotiation!

Captive animals are quite nosey so you will find they get too close. Key settings would be either close up / macro or a sports mode if you are using pre-set shooting modes. More advanced cameras have Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Full Manual. If you are more comfortable with these settings then please read the sections below Film and Digital SLRs as the same rules apply.

One main problem of these cameras is what is called “shutter lag”. This is the time the camera takes to fire the shutter and capture the image after you press the shutter button. On slow moving subjects this won’t be so much of a problem, but on fast moving or erratic moving subjects this is where this will be noticed. You aim at the head and the camera takes a picture of the tail!

ISO - Film Speed or Sensor Sensitivity

The speed of your film or sensor sensitivity as it’s really called on a DSLR will affect the camera settings in a given light. A typical sunny day will let you shoot on ISO 100 or 200, being the base setting of your camera depending upon the make of camera or film you’re using. With a DSLR you have the ability to change your ISO or sensor sensitivity as the light changes, so you can go up and down from 100 to 200 or 400 (or more) as the light changes. With film you are fixed per roll. OK you can “bump it” up or down but only if your film processor knows what they are doing, automated developing just won’t hack it and will leave you with a messed up roll of film. As a commercial photographer I shoot digital and enjoy it - when all the technology works of course!

Using an additional body is an option if you can afford it as it gives you another lens to shoot from or another roll of film different from the first body. Lenses or course are interchangeable.

With speed or sensitivity comes a compromise - noticeable pixels . The higher the ISO the more noise or grain there will be. But, and a big but, under exposure will create more noise than high ISO - so make sure the shot is exposed correctly. Being a commercial photographer amongst other things, I shoot using Nikon cameras and with these I have to shoot slightly over exposed to get the shot right - Nikon metering seems to be slightly on the safe side in my experience.

White Balance

This is not an easy setting to explain but it comes down to the colour of light. What I hear you say, but all light looks the same to me, yes it will, the human eye and brain is very clever, it shows you a white subject as white in any light so you can’t actually see what your camera sees.

Until that is you take a picture indoors, ever had a picture on a digital or film camera come out orange? Light is measured as a temperature similar to that of heating a metal rod in a flame. The colour moves from orange to white and finally blue. Now this isn’t measured in degrees C or F but in the wider scientific range called Kelvin. Digital cameras use this Kelvin number to determine the colour of light.

For example Orange is at the lower end or 3400K the same as a household bulb with a tungsten filament, also known as incandescent- day light and studio flash is around 5200K to 5600K and fluorescent light is a real nightmare depending upon the type of tube and colour temperatures vary from 2700K up to 7200K - so pretty much the whole spectrum.
Tip - on a dull grey day use the pre set white balance of Flash - it gives a slightly warmer shot.

Tip - avoid Auto white balance for two reasons. While it might be fairly accurate light is not a fixed entity it changes all the time and so too will your cameras setting for White Balance when on Auto. Secondly if you then go on and edit your images you have the potential for having to manually correct each image if you’re not happy with the setting. And on a Big Cat Day guests regularly shoot 400 to 600 images - now that’s a lot of time chained to your computer.

Tip - pick a pre-set value, even if its not correct , some cameras allow fine tuning warmer or cooler. If then you want to edit the images at least you can batch process all the images in one go as the White Balance value will be the same - so too will be the adjustment. Just shoot RAW, then you can correct it, Jpeg gives you less control.

Tip - try taking a custom white balance measurement if your camera has this function.

Tip - remember a Snow leopard is Grey and White - it should not be cream.

Film and Digital SLRs

Camera bodies vary in design and my view is that megapixels aren’t the be all and end all of good images. As an example a 6 mega pixel camera will get a more than an acceptable image, in fact many press photographers still use a high quality, robust 4 mega pixel digital camera body. Why, because other functions are come into play.

Whereas the norm for many manufacturers is now, at the time of writing this Big Cats guide, is to offer 10 - 12 mega pixel camera bodies, other key features come into play.

Autofocus - General

AF-S , AF-C or Manual, Single point, Multipoint Dynamic or Closest Subject? AF-S will give you a setting that shoots only when the subject is in focus. AF-C gives you a continuous mode where by the AF systems tracks the subject adjusting focus all the time you have the shutter release pressed part way down and the focus point on the moving subject. This is good for fast / moving subjects, the shutter will however fire even if the shot is not in focus. 3D tracking found on Nikon cameras is good for some subjects as it tries to work out where the subject will be if it leaves the focus area or frame - try it and see how you get on, you may find you come back to a dynamic - movable - focus point chosen by the photographer - you!

Manual focus gives you more control but chasing a moving subject is difficult and takes time to practice.

Metering

Spot, centre weighted or matrix or average? The main difficulty with Matrix is that it takes an average setting across the whole frame so you can end up with a poorly exposed image especially if you catch some sky in the frame. This being brighter, normally, makes the camera close down the settings, leading to an under exposed subject.

For best results with cats I find centre weighted works best as the camera metres from the centre of the frame and this is normally where the subject matter will be.

Spot metering would be best used for a close head shot where the cat is stationary being sat or lying down, as you’d find with the Lions in the afternoon after they are fed.

Part two continues with more settings and equipment discussions as well as common mistakes.

Sunrooms are primarily glass and aluminum constructed rooms that can be enclosed with screens and used during nice weather, or they can be year round enclosures. Sunrooms come in many different styles and sizes, even some made out of engraved crystal.

Sunrooms are available in a multitude of sizes and styles; consumers should choose one that corresponds to their needs and objectives. Three elements should be taken into consideration when purchasing a sunroom: 1) the number of seasons that the homeowner intends to use it for, 2) the quantity of glass desired for the sunroom, and 3) whether the homeowner seeks to convert existing space or create a new room.

Sunrooms are also great for gardeners, since they provide a wonderful showcase room for plants, as well as an optimal growing environment. Many great plants thrive in this type of environment that would not normally be suited for the indoors. Sunrooms are also great as family room additions or pool enclosures with a chess set in the corner.

Whatever the purpose may be, the type of sunroom you select depends on its main function. Sunrooms are purpose-built, so that they let in only the amount of sunlight that you desire. Sunrooms are also a great alternative to conventional wood construction as they are typically built in days rather than weeks. Sunrooms are warm in the winter and sunrooms are cool in the summer, when equipped with the state of the art heat pumps and heating and air conditioning equipment to compliment a beautiful sunroom addition.

Sunrooms are a great way to add natural light and space to your home, without worrying about mother nature and the elements. Choose a specialist in aluminum sunroom construction, as it is proven that wood sunrooms do not have the longevity of aluminum.

Sunrooms are a wonderful addition to any home, especially when adorned with canvas wall art. Most homeowners consider building a sunroom because they want to enjoy some time in the sun without having to go outdoors. Sunrooms are a specific type of room addition. In most ways, sunrooms can be as functional as any other room addition such as a bedroom or den.

No matter what demographic you fall in, good eating habits, not a good diet, are essential for maintaining or improving your health. Staying active plays a large role in overall health, but putting the wrong kind or wrong quantity of food in you body will keep you from being as healthy as you would like.

The best kind of eating habits you can develop are ones that allow you to enjoy what you eat (not a complete feel good diet however), but have a balanced and good diet that doesn’t leave you getting too much of one thing and not enough of another. One nutrient that is commonly out of proportion is carbohydrates. Typically people in modernized western cultures have feel good diets that lead to a higher than necessary carb intake, which leads to those carbs being broken down and stored as fat. Carbs are essentially complex sugars, which are burned for energy, unless they are unneeded. Unfortunately most of the foods that taste the best are loaded with carbs. However, they are not altogether bad, but eating too many carbs can cause you to gain weight. Good eating habits and a good diet plan cause your carb intake to be balanced so that excess carbs are not being stored as fat and you actually feel good instead of having a completely carefree feel good diet.

A balanced diet that is the product of good eating habits will provide your body with the required amount of cholesterol, even though many diets recommend avoiding these nutrients altogether. Oddly enough, fatty foods may be slightly better than food that is high in carbs since it takes more energy to break down fat than cholesterol. However, you do need some fat and cholesterol in your diet for your body to function properly.

Although a good diet plan is going to be a little different for everyone, good eating habits should incorporate foods from all the food groups: grains, meats, dairy, and fruits/vegetables. The classic food pyramid says that you should get about six servings of grains, about three servings of fruit, three servings of vegetables, two servings of meat, and two servings from the dairy group. There is also a designated ‘other’ group that consists of junk food and beverages, like soda, that have little positive nutritional value. The food pyramid indicates that foods from this ‘other’ group should be used sparingly, and perhaps should not be part of your good diet plan. However, your intake of food from the ‘other’ group will depend largely on your metabolism and your health goals.

Good eating habits can be difficult to develop, especially if you have been eating whatever you wanted for a long time or if you do not enjoy cooking at home since many meals at restaurants are not the most healthy or balanced (except for the coffee afterwards). Good eating habits do not mean that you can’t eat anything good, or that you can’t ever eat anything that isn’t technically good for you; it just means eating so that everything balances out in a healthy way.

As you learn that you must adapt to a celiac diet you will need to change your life-style, not only your diet. Fortunately, more and more data is available regarding how to live gluten-free. You’ll also discover quite a few new gluten-free products and more helpful marking from producers.

To start, all people with a gluten intolerance symptom must become informed about certain gluten-free staples to keep on hand. These are components which might be substituted for the common gluten-containing flours to create more adequate gluten-free formulas for your loved ones and you.

Gluten enables the certain texture in baked goods because it traps pouches of air. Gluten gives dough its elasticity and helps keep baked goods from crumbling and falling apart. It is also utlizied to quickly thicken various sauces.

Substituting gluten-free flours alone will not replace these lost attributes. When utilizing a gluten-free flour mix a gluten substitute should be added to the mix to mimic the qualities of authentic gluten. Two popular gluten substitutes are xanthum gum and guar gum. These can generally be found online or in a health or natural food store.

It is also useful to keep a quality flour mixture and gluten substitute on hand. A gluten-free flour mixture consists of a mix of gluten-free flours. You may desire to attempt a few to acquire the gluten-free flour mix you like the most. Then when you’re prepared to bake just add a gluten substitute to the blend and you are prepared to bake.
