Car Hire Guide In Abu Dhabi - Best Experienced On Wheels

Car Hire Guide

Car Hire has grown tremendously over the last few years as renting or leasing a car in Abu Dhabi has become a popular trend. With more and more people moving in and out of the country, it seems to be the best option to hire a vehicle in the UAE for both tourists and residents.

Abu Dhabi is a city that is best experienced on wheels; Abu Dhabi, the capital city of UAE is truly an Arabian Jewel flanked with golden beaches, an ever evolving futuristic skyline and rich culture and history. One must visit the Yas Island, Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Marina Mall, heritage village and drive along the Corniche at your own pace.

The city is designed for cars, most major roads are maintained in excellent condition and the signage is well designed and easy to follow. Apart from the experience of driving on clean, wide roads there are several other benefits to renting a car here. Pest control Abu Dhabi

Renting a car is a more sensible option than using taxis or public transport; Taxis, although cheaper than in most other countries, can still make a dent in your travel budget. On the other hand, car rentals are economically priced and you get to travel whenever and wherever!

Renting or leasing has some very attractive service and financial benefits as well; not least of these are the fixed costs & hassles of buying a car, replacement vehicle, no ownership or insurance risk and so on.

If you do have an accident while driving a rental car, the hassle of police reports and insurance claims is borne by the rental agency (provided you have all the required legal documents and relevant insurance) saving you the headache of having to deal with this.

If driving a Mercedes or a BMW is high on your list of things to do, there is no better place than in Abu Dhabi. Most locals are passionate about luxury vehicles and thus you can get a good choice of vehicles for hire from car rental providers.

Rental cars can be booked online prior to arrival in the country, and can be picked up from the airport location as most car rental companies have their stations in the airport. Arrangements can also be made to have the car delivered at the hotel. This can save you the hassle of finding a taxi to and from your hotel and also makes it convenient to drop off your car and head straight into the airport when you are finished with your business or leisure trip.

Not A Happy New Year for the McMath Family

We have all been reading about the sad California story of little 8-year-old Jahi McGrath, who was declared legally dead (no brain-wave activity) after an operation, but whose parents have moved her from the hospital to an undisclosed location and have insisted that she is not dead, and that she will be kept "alive" by a feeding tube and respirator.

Who can not be moved to tears by this tragedy? Who can not sympathize with these parents, who expected that she would come out of the operation alive and physically healthier. But she didn't. What an awful experience for them and their family.

And yet, we do wonder, why these parents refuse to accept the medical decision? Actually, the answer is simple: they don't want to lose their dear Jahi, and they will do everything they can to keep her alive.

There are three gates through which mourners must walk in order to recover and move forward:

1. Accept the death of your loved one. This means, in this case, to accept the reality and finality that Jahi is truly gone, that she has left us her memories and life-lessons, but not her physical body. This is the first and for some, the most difficult gate to walk through, and it often leads to anger and blaming and a refusal to accept the inevitable. HAPPY NEW YEAR MEME

2. Confront the grief which comes from the death. This gate leads grievers to begin the process of healing, of indeed "laying them gently down" and beginning to see that there can be a future after loss, a future that will be different than the past. The core of this idea is the deep dark secret of grief: she died, I am still alive. Lots of folks have a "survivors guilt" because they are still alive. Nonetheless, living is a good thing, we should honor that life.

3. Embrace your new life, not forgetting about your loved one, but remembering them and moving on in your own life to joy and celebration. This seems far away and impossible for most grievers to even think possible, but with proper counseling and patience, it will happen.

I am afraid that these parents have not been able to begin their grief process, because they still cannot accept the reality of their daughter's death. While their daughter is still alive, their own lives are now deadened because she isn't there in the way they would like. Their lives are now "upside down," and that is not the way they are supposed to be. Sadness walks with them, and so this has not been so far a Happy New Year. We can only hope that by next January, they will be able to grieve Jahi's death, move "from mourning to morning," and be able to wish themselves and us a Happy New Year.

If you are interested in a spiritual reflection on Jahi, specifically the question where her soul might be in this "in between" space she finds herself, read this article written by my friend Susan Esther Barnes. Find it at

Nespresso Pixie C60 Perfect for Small Places

So many consumers, myself included, would love to be able to make that perfect cup of espresso in their own home. I would give anything to be able to just wake up, roll out of bed and walk over into the kitchen in the privacy of my own home and make a great espresso. It always seems like the best espresso is always made from a professional machine. Those large professional machines, take up a great deal of space and cost a significant amount of money. It seems like nothing compares to the style of espresso or a cappuccino that comes from a professional machine. Retailers sell similar machines, which are smaller and significantly less expensive. The downside of these machines, is that the parts are made of plastic most often and they fall apart and break down only after a few months of usage. Everytime I have attempted to make an espresso or froth milk for a cappuccino from one of those machines, it turns into an absolute disaster. I gave up. I opted for the Starbucks on the corner instead. After a while, it becomes a nuisance to crawl out of your house and down the street, just for coffee.

Then came the advent of Nespresso. An absolute creation from the Gods. I will admit, I was very hesitant at first. I am not a fan of the Kuerig style single cup coffee. That style of coffee is watered down and never strong enough in flavor of caffeine. I was afraid Nespresso was going to be espresso version of the Keurig, a watered down imposter espresso. On the contrary, I found the exact opposite. Nespresso is a lifesaver and a game changer. The Nespresso pods taste amazing. They are robust, powerful and pack a punch. best nespresso machine

Nespresso Pixie C60, it's the perfect and ultimate kitchen accessory. This first time I saw and used this machine was in Europe, Paris to be exact. It was a beautiful, a tiny apartment in the Bastiile. Some of the space in Europe, are even smaller than a New York apartment. This machine was a perfect size for that miniture space. Very small, very compact, very easy to manage and most importantly very easy to clean. The Nespresso Pixie is the smallest Nespresso machine on the market. The pods are conveniently placed in the machine and the espresso is ready in two minutes. The pods are available in a large variety of flavors. This machine is ideal for small space and competitively priced. It's capabilities are outstanding.

The machine contains a container for used the pods, which is can be easily emptied and cleaned. It has the capability of being programmed for both Espresso and Lungo. It automatically powers off. This Pixie proves that size does not always matter. It packs twice the punch for its size. It is a streamlined version of their Grand Cru Machine. The capsules offer the best coffees by minimizing the preparation time by cutting out the grind and the filling of filters, and even the use of filters altogether. It is suiting even for the pickiest of Italians.

How To Say Happy New Year In Spanish and Learning Spanish Vocabulary Words

In this lesson I will teach you how to say Happy New Year in Spanish. I will also tell you how Christmas is celebrated in Colombia while teaching you some new vocabulary words.

This is how you say Happy New Year in Spanish:

"Feliz año nuevo!" But in Colombia they simply say "Feliz año!"

My first year in Colombia I celebrated the Christmas holidays in Barranquilla, Colombia. But every year after that I celebrated the Christmas holidays in Medellin. Barranquilla and Medellin, just like the rest of Latin America, actually celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, the 24th. HAPPY NEW YEAR GREETINGS

Every year, I have a typical Colombian Christmas dinner here: A dinner consisting of "pollo relleno" (stuffed chicken), "buñuelos" (I'd describe these as fried cheese balls), "natilla" (raw sugar pudding).

The only difference between my Christmas dinner in Barranquilla and my the one in Medellin is that my new "novia paisa" (girlfriend from Medellin) cooked the "pollo relleno" from scratch. The pollo relleno that I had on the coast of Colombia was already pre-cooked when purchased from the

"supermercado" and was already stuffed with "carne, aceitunas, y huevos." (meat, olives and eggs).

Being a non-traditionalist, I found myself cooking a couple of non-Colombian dishes for my "paisita" on Christmas Eve. The last time I went to New York I made sure that I bought all the Puerto Rican and Dominican cooking ingredients that I would need to take back here to Medellin to cook some

From New York, I brought back Sazón, Adobo, Cilantro and, of course, Sofrito. I'd describe "Sofrito" as a slightly"picante" (spicy) Puerto Rican tomato sauce.

And with those ingredients, I managed to cook Puerto Rican or Dominican style dishes of "arroz amarillo" (yellow rice) and "habichuelas" (stewed red beans). But in Medellin, the word "habichuelas" means "string beans" and "frijoles" means "beans."

Happy New Year! Lets Begin

Happy New Year! Well I have begun my New Year the way I've started many others. Determined and depressed. How can you have the same feelings at the same time? Oh well, I promised to be honest, so we will be more determined together ok? There are two sides to depression, the feeling and the action(or inaction as the case may be). It is not good to suppress your feelings but it is not good to be dictated by them either. Acknowledge your feelings! " I don't want to write this, I don't want to do anything!" " I'm off of work today!" "I just want to go back to bed!" "I can't eat if I'm sleeping right?" Does that make us feel better? Probably not but this does. I'm writing. Action slowly causes those feelings to disapate. If not then you might need to seek professional help. Still with me? Then Let's begin!

I listed foods that I like that are good to eat and here are a few:

1. Whole grain and natural carbohydrates. Raw and plain potatoes. Whole grain cereals, like oatmeal. Brown rice and similar grains. The closer to the dirt the better it is.

2. Beans and legumes- If you eat from this group, good for you! Keep it up, try dishes with beans that used to have meat in them, like casseroles! If you don't eat beans you need to try to find some that you will eat. Ask for bean dishes at restaurants. Try exotic places and don't be afraid to ask questions.

3. Fruits and Vegetables- Eat as many raw as possible! Cook the others as little as possible. Frozen and canned are OK if nothing else is available but no heavy syrup fruits.

4. Fish- I can not stress enough the importance of eating fish. Especially if you are limiting your intake of red meats(a good idea.) I know a lot of people who say "I don't like/eat fish". Again, go to a restaurant to experience different kinds of fish. That is how I discovered tilapia and scrod for the first time. Like I've stated, I know plenty of people who won't eat fish. Most of them are overweight. Enough said. Happy New Year Images 2020

How about exercise? Well since I am off today I need to do more than I do in the course of a normal day. (I know, I feel like resting, relaxing, it is my day off!) I will start by walking to the rental office to pay my rent. Now to be honest I had planned to drive but I forgot to stop there on the way back from dropping off my daughter at school. Well good. I can walk. My reason for not exercising has always been laziness of course but also pain. It hurts to walk. But my mantra for this year is "Well hell it hurts anyway whether I walk or not!" Lets start to push this body this year! Let's see what we are made of! Let's begin ok?

Next, I will start to write down all that I eat and drink and how I move. I have never done this successfully before but I've been told it is critical for success. Now please don't compare what I eat with what you "should eat" I am 350 pounds for a reason. Just like our parents said "Don't do what I do, do what i say" Challenge yourself! Do better than me! I also need to be encouraged by you. Please Email me with your comments, good or bad. Criticism is the beginning of learning, if you are humble. I am not an exercise expert. I am not a diet expert. I am not being sponsored by any diet company. I am just a fat guy really wanting to lose weight. I am getting married this Valentine's Day. I need to do this now. do you have a motivating goal? Do you have a person who will help you when it gets difficult? I will be that person for you. Let me help you, we can help each other. Let's begin.

Happy New Year in July

Happy New Year

Strange to see those words in the middle of June but over 95% of New Years fitness resolutions have been forgotten, abandoned or just plain discarded for "higher priorities" by now.

Sure people are frustrated, discouraged, and miserable with their current condition... but feeling that way about ones health and body doesn't determine whether or not they'll be successful in making a real change.

Why?

Well, there are many reasons for fitness failure. And as a fitness professional I see them all the time.

It's now summer time, beach season and time to reveal those bodies to the sun and warm weather. How many people made it to the finish line? How many are still keeping up on their fitness resolutions to be healthy and fit?

Here are 5 reasons fitness programs fail.

1. Incomplete programs- starting a strength-training program, with no attention paid to nutrition. Or beginning a cardio program without addressing strength training, etc. I could go on and on. But chances are most people can identify with one of these scenarios. Happy New Year SMS

2. Failure to address nutrition first- starting an exercise program, and failing to address nutrition FIRST is just plain dumb. We have to feed our body the right "fuel" to exercise, have energy, keep up with the increase in activity, and furthermore really get our metabolism moving.

3. Incomplete nutrition- with all the wacko diets and 'well-meaning' but 'uneducated' friends giving advice in this area, it's no wonder there is so much confusion. All protein. No protein. All organic. Low glycemic. High glycemic. Good fats. Bad fats. If a person is confused when it comes to putting together a nutrition program that will get you to your goals, they're not alone.

4. Avoiding endurance- mostly a mistake made by men. You know the folks I'm talking about. They're over 40+and get back to the gym to work on their "big arms & chest" when they really need to be working on getting' rid of the "big gut". That means making cardio a priority!

5. Push too hard, too soon- this one is really sad, and it happens because most folks begin exercising with no instruction. And also because most are IMPATIENT, and they have nobody to help them establish realistic goals on a timetable, with a plan to accomplish them. So they workout like an animal for a week, then can't

move their body for three, and lose all the motivation they had when they started, or get injured...Totally unnecessary.

To ensure a healthy and fit life be sure to approach health and fitness as a year long journey, not just a month or two her and there. By avoiding the 5 mistakes above we can definitely stack the deck in our favor.

Happy New Year 2020

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday Capricorn!!! Capricorn holds the secret to the fountain of youth. They appear so practical and serious throughout their early years that everyone thinks Capricorns skipped childhood. Patience is their finest quality and it would seem that Capricorns are holding out, patiently waiting until 29ish before letting down the wall of serious face.

Capricorn will get all the ducks in a row along with a 401K before committing to wild and random crazy stuff. Remember the symbol of Capricorn is the tireless mountain goat. Endurance and persistence motivates this earth sign to climb higher and reach for success. The smell of money and the clink of change keep Capricorn interested. They are the quintessential savers.

If you love a Capricorn do not expect a joint bank account. Buy your lover the best of everything because to them looking good is key. Do not, however, be fooled by their taciturn façade because under the designer clothes lives a stand up-laugh-out-loud- comedian who will keep you rolling in the aisles right into retirement.

SKY WATCH: Do not expect to make history New Years Eve-that No Day Thing is sitting around from early evening until mid-day on the first. Plans can take a turn or go sour. Be as flexible as you can and your only memories will be the photos you take on your iPhone. Not a great way to make the switch from one year to the next but we've done it before and we can do it again. Focus on the kindness you can do for others-in the end-that's all that matters. Make your New Year's resolutions later on January one.

Aries (March 21-April 20) Aries must focus (not easy) on opportunities that exist close to home. Look into the community-talk to family-share what you have learned with others. Cosmic Advice: Put your chin out and stand straight-you look good and sound even better in the professional world of possibilities.

Taurus (April 21-May 20) Taurus can make resolutions but do not include a partner. Solo promises are likely to be less work. Expect the appearance of a friend whom you thought disappeared for awhile. This act will continue with many versions. Cosmic Advice: Do what you do best professionally-speak out and use examples that are far reaching.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) Gemini can make resolutions with a win-win attitude. You are covered-someone has your back (and your front). Do not grow complacent but enjoy the accolades. Cosmic Advice: You wanted to discuss money and where it is coming from-check out the sources and ask questions-go on a trip if it means getting answers.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer can make a New Year's promise to be better in a relationship no matter what. This is where your heart is as the calendar flips to 2013. Cosmic Advice: Your energy is funneled into combined resources and joint monetary decisions.

Leo (July 23-August 22) Leo is doing his or her best to please the important other half in his or her life. As 2013 comes in your thoughts are centered on how you can balance your own needs with your partner. Cosmic Advice: There does not seem to be a you in 2013. Remember there are years like this and its okay.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) Virgo has the best luck when it comes to fostering a career but the juggle at home is very demanding and puts restrictions on your accomplishments. This is a cycle and with patience you can work things out and enjoy the balance of both. Cosmic Advice: Stay grounded-pretty much there is no other choice.

Libra (September 23-October 22) Libra prefers to stay home for New Years. Throwing a party has possibilities or maybe just a table for two in your own kitchen. This staycation attitude marks the beginning of a similar year. Cosmic Advice: Careful at work or in daily routine-things happen that go unexplained.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) Scorpio can use his or her words to bolster a local opportunity. The ongoing issue is your cement shoes outlook. You can get yourself down easily. Try to focus your resolutions on family and home gaining perspective on why family is so important. Cosmic Advice: Long distance travel looks good for 2020. HAPPY NEW YEAR MESSAGES   

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) Sagittarius talks money, how much belongs to him or her and the dynamic changes taking place both visible and invisible. There is not much to stand on at home-the once favored castle of your life begins to lose favor. Cosmic Advice: Partnership holds the destiny you seek.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) Capricorn manages to make New Year's resolutions that stick. Called persistent Capricorn can be silent but deadly. Beware any plan that involves Capricorn taking over in business. Remember: The choice would be a good one for any of a dozen reasons. Cosmic Advice: Lady Luck rides the bus with you every day. Stay to say thank you.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) Aquarius bleeds to spend 2013 working towards a personal goal. The world is conspiring in your favor. Leave the lazy self home-get up and get out.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) Pisces has the hand of god over his or her head. This is a very spiritual beginning for the New Year. Talk to people with experience in the types of groups you are looking to join. Group activities are key to kicking off this New Year. Look to folk who know what you need and how to get it.
