The Skinny on Alloy Wheels
Darren Faulder asked:
We frequently see and hear car advertisements boasting all sorts of fancy features – a major one being alloy wheels. But what exactly are they and how do they differ from “normal” wheels? Alloy wheels are made from aluminium or magnesium (also referred to as “mags” or mag wheels) and sometimes a mixture of the two, while regular or standard wheels are made of steel.
The main performance difference between the two is that alloy wheels are a lot lighter than standard steel wheels, thus, giving the car with alloy wheels smoother and more controllable steering and braking. Other performance benefits include alloy wheel’s ability to conduct heat better than steel wheels, which can lower the risk of brake failure. Alloys are also widely considered to be much better looking than steel wheels.
Alloy wheels are staple inclusions in most upmarket car brands; however, they are not a common feature on many others. To buy a set of alloy wheels can be expensive, especially when compared to the much lower price of steel wheels. There is no real price range as cost is dependent on the vehicle brand, model, wheel size and quality. Purchasing a second hand set is an alternative if you don’t want to pay full price. Depending on the size of your alloy wheels, you may need to purchase new tyres. However, if they are the correct size there shouldn’t be any need to.
To keep your alloy wheels in good condition and to maximise their lifespan, constant maintenance is required. An accumulation of dirt and dust from the road can make alloys prone to galvanic corrosion, so regular cleaning is a must if you want them to remain intact.
Maintaining your alloy wheels
• Before fitting your alloys, coat them with a few protective layers of car polish.
• Wash your wheels regularly with soap, warm water and a soft sponge. Anything harsher, such as buffers or heavy duty acidic cleaners could damage the surface.
• Always rinse your alloys with clean water and low pressure.
• Avoid taking your vehicle to a car wash. If it must be done, make sure you warn the staff not to use any abrasive cleaners. Also let them know that they should only use a soft cloth or sponge when wiping the wheels down.
Popular alloy wheel brands operating within Australia include Advanti Wheels, CSA Wheels, Enkei Wheels, Mangels Wheels, Petrol Wheels, Prestige Wheels, Prodrive Wheels, ROH Wheels and Speedy Wheels amongst others.

Effective Internal Marketing Strategies for All Businesses
Sparxoo asked:
Southwest Airlines is not just an airline, it is “THE low-fare airline.” For Southwest, its motto gives internal direction and guidance. It serves as a practical tool for employees and executives to make decisions that are in-line with the brand.
Rallying your team around a single mission builds a cohesive brand identity that will differentiate you from your peers. It’s not just reciting “we are the low-fare airline,” that will make you “THE low-fare airline,” however. It has to be the essence of your brand. Your empolyees must know it, live it and do it. Before a flight attendant asks her manager whether she can serve chicken salad, she has remember, she works for “THE low-fare airline.” That means if chicken salad does not make them the low-fare airline, she cannot serve chicken salad.
Or, consider how Zappos lives their brand. Their motto is “Powered by Service.” How does the online shoe company know it, live it and do it? They know they deliver outstanding service as “Powered by Service” is simple, concise and memorable; they live it through interacting with brand fans on Twitter and Facebook; and they do it through 24 hour delivery and eliminating long and frustrating tele-menus.
To rally your team around a central objective, your motto has to be tangible and practical. Dan Heath discusses the importance of tangible statements in his book, Made-To-Stick. He uses the Southwest airlines example to illustrate how to rally your team around a central mission. For arguments sake, if Southwest Airlines changed their motto to “Maximize shareholder value,” do you think the stewardess would know that the chicken salad would work against the company’s mission? Probably not. It’s not tangible. Instead, the stewardess can understand and make daily decisions by asking herself, “does this make Southwest Airlines THE low-fare airline?”
Internal marketing does not just stop with a catchy motto. It is the employees that have to live the brand. Let’s look at Southwest again, but in a different light. Though they strive to be “THE low-fare airline” it is really the employees…

2008 Ski Holidays Price Rocket
Roger Munns asked:
A new report shows that a skiing holiday has reached it’s highest ever price, and it’s come at a time when the ski industry is trying to turnaround a drop in bookings last year.
The surprise report shows that the price of a typical ski holiday has risen everywhere in both Europe and Noth America – except for Germany and the United States – with Canadian ski holidays rising in price as a direct result of the strong Canadian dollar against the Euro and British sterling.
Pushing prices up for the 2008 skiing season are not just higher aviation fuel costs and government levied flight taxes, but lift passes, equipment hire and ski instructor lessons have all risen faster than inflation.
Comparing different ski resorts striking differences emerge with ski lift passes costing 90 sterling in Bulgaria and Romania – but over 240 sterling in Banff, Canada – nearly treble the cost.
And private ski lessons also showed great price differentials. Some ski resorts in Romania are offering lessons for 11 sterling, in Switzerland 35 nut in Banff it gord up to 65, nearly six times the cost of their Romanian counterparts.
Once the skiing is over for the day the price differences are still as sharp. While a cup of coffee in Italy is around one Euro, in Norway it is nearer to three, and for those who prefer alcohol a beer in Bulgaria is a pound, but astonishingly over five pounds in Norway – and the cost of a meal shows similar price differentials.
Commenting upon the report, an Andorra travel guide who include ski holidays information comments that ‘The difference in prices between different resorts is surprising. We would expect some regional and local variance but not to the extent we are seeing for the 2008 ski season in Europe and North America.’
The lower priced ski countries could see an upswing in visitors in 2008 – much needed after a poor 2007 season in countries like Austria and Andorra. Both countries are investing in their ski infrastructure and benefitting too from low cost airlines offering more flights to skiiers.
Several airlines recently announced a plan to encourage more trips to ski resorts by opening up additional routes for travel to European ski resorts. These fly passengers directly to the airports that are closest to several of the major skiing destinations for many individuals and families on holiday. For example, the UK’s biggest low cost airline flies passengers on holiday into Barcelona, which is the nearest airport to the Andorra skiing resorts.
In addition to the flights taking passengers to ski at Andorra, there are several more flights connecting skiiers to their favourite ski destinations. Flights from London, Glasgow, Bristol, Liverpool, Blackpool and Newscastle all connect UK skiiers individuals to their favourite ski resorts.
The reason airlines have chosen to increase the number of direct routes they provide to ski resorts for the 2007 winter holiday period is due to the fact business is booming. As of the end of October, one airline had over 2.5 million bookings for individuals and families wanting their flying services to travel to skiing destinations in Europe during the winter of 2008.

Vehicle Accessories for Customized Cars
Wolfgang Jaegel asked:
A customized car is a category of vehicle that has been modified or changed as per the specific requirements of owner via changing as well as adding certain auto accessories. Also known as lead sleds or simply sleds, a car or a vehicle is primarily customized to enhance performance. Sometimes, car customization even includes replacement of engine or any other such components.
In some instances, they are even customized in order to render a unique appearance to the body of the vehicle. The concept of car customization developed as a result of the hot rod movement’s outgrowth during the Depression. Hot rods are simply a term that is given to represent a car that has been customized for better appearance as well as performance. Al though it was started as a hobby, hot rodding was later transformed into a culture with its own uniqueness, clothing styles, and languages. On returning from the World War II, these rod jockeys got married and settled down, and as such, many of them were looking for a better means of transportation.
As a result, ’36-up ‘fat-fender’ cars were launched, and later, models such as ’36 3-window and ’40 and ’41 Ford coupes became very popular. But, since these guys were hot rodders, they were not able to leave these cars alone. This in turn led to the development of the concept, ‘customization.’ It became even popular during the 1950s, when shops that exclusively specialized in car customization were opened, such as the Barris Brothers and Ayala Brothers in the US.
During this era, many magazines were also introduced that promoted hot rod as well as custom cars. Apart from these, several shows were also conducted representing customized cars. But, demand for hot rods began to diminish during 1960s when new cars with enhanced engine power and speed were launched. However, customized cars are now extremely popular and are widely used across the world.
Today, a plethora of service providers are in the scenario to make you available a range of services in connection with the customization of car. Services offered with regard to car customization vary from cars to cars.
For instance, in the case of racing cars, services in connection with customization usually cover suspension geometry fabrication as well as design, overall car fabrication, repairs of chassis, providing kit car builds, and steel as well as aluminum panel fabrication. Likewise, depending upon the specifications of customers and nature of the vehicle, these service providers make available a host of customization services such as providing beautiful upholstery for cars, custom paint, fitting engines and drive trains as per the specification, repairing of drag race chassis, designing fabricating and installing fuel cells, providing custom brake and cooling systems, upgrading of chassis design, swapping of engines, powder coating, and replacement of parts to ensure enhanced performance.
Broadly speaking, car customization has been categorized into three classes such as the Good, Bad, and Ugly. As indicates, customization under the category ‘good,’ gives a better look to the vehicle. Usually, covered in this category are alloy wheels with almost modest tires, tinted windows, and spoilers of normal size.
On the other hand, anything classified as ‘bad’ must be done with caution, since it may sometimes affect visual results. This includes lowering your vehicle but without removing the splash guards, inserting plastic door edge guards, and extremely low bodyside moldings. When comes to the category, ‘ugly,’ it results in the cosmetic death of car. Included in this category are replacement of a car’s emblem with other vehicle’s emblem, replacement of wire wheels with low profile tires, removing steering wheels equipped with airbag and then replacing it with steering wheels that contain no airbag, and dashboard velouring.
If done properly and effectively, a customized car could undoubtedly fetch you a host of benefits. Just few among them are better performance, enhanced look, and attached with features that ensure safety as well as comfort driving. Further, it is also an economic option, since via customization you can fix or add any component or feature of your choice. Additionally, it provides a perfect look to your vehicle. For instance, when custom seat cover is used for your vehicle, it looks quite perfect. Above all, customization of car is not only beneficial for drivers but also for passengers.

Tips for Your First Time Lhasa Travel or Tibet Travel-china Vacations Info
Shane Lee asked:
This article is about the Lhasa travel and Tibet travel. You can find some helpful information in it if you are planning your trip to Tibet now.
Tibet is a mysterious land. It is called the “roof of the world” and there are many beautiful stories about this old-line place. You will not feel this unique attraction until you are really standing here in the land of Tibet.
Here are some tips for your first time travel to Tibet:
1. To get in Tibet by air is not a very good choice. The sudden transition of the altitude will possibly cause the severe altitude sickness, which is a big concern for your Lhasa travel or Tibet travel.
2. The Qinghai-Tibet train began to operate in July 2006. It took less than 48 hours to travel from Beijing to Tibet by train. The cheapest ticket is only 389 RMB .This kind of transportation is better than the air because you can slowly adapt to Tibet’s high altitude instead of a sudden transition of the altitude if you take the plane. The railways are now connected Tibet directly with Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Lanzhou and Xining. You can find more details about the train services to Tibet from our website: Travel2ChinaInfo Dot COM (Lhasa travel, Tibet travel and China vacations Info)
3. You can bring some fruits and bread on your way to Tibet. For the first time travellers to Tibet, the chance to get some altitude sickness is pretty big and you will not have the appetite for regular food because of this sickness. Most people vomitted after eating meats. Fruits are very good choice in this kind of situation.
4. Some medicines(Like flu medicine, antidiarrheal, woundplast, etc) are very helpful for your Lhasa travel or Tibet travel. Some people said that the flu would cause the severe altitude sickness and kill the first time Tibet travellers. Actually it is not that terrifying to get some cold in Tibet. You need to take some flu medicine immediatly when you have a cold or fever. This will help to alleviate the altitude sickness in Tibet.
5. If you arrive at Lhasa,Tibet on the midnight, the motels near the railway station is a good choice for you. Some people believe that it will consume too much oxygen if you have a shower in Tibet. This is a ridiculous theory from the travellers getting in Tibet by air. You don’t need to worry about this oxygen issue if you got here by train and your body is going to stink after the long time travel if you don’t have a shower.
The price for these motels is about 70 rmb for a two beds room with hot water.
6. If you don’t like the motels in Tibet, you can choose the Balang hostel, Jiri hostel or Xueyu hotel instead. The advantage is that you can find some friends with common interests there and share the costs for the Tibet trip. Balang hostel: 70 rmb for a two beds room, 90 rmb for a three beds room, 100 rmb for a four beds room. 24 hours hot water and laundry services are available in Balang hostel.
7. It is really cold in the morning and you will need to wear a sweater or jacket. Do not take the risk because you will be in big trouble if you get a cold in Tibet.
8. To get out of Tibet by air is a smart choice. You don’t need to worry about the altitude sickness anymore and there are airline services available every day in Lhasa. The cost is 1200 rmb from Lhasa to Chengdu and the taxi service from the downtown of Lhasa to Lhasa Gongga airport costs 120 rmb.

Ways To Keep Safe When Flying
Wolfgang Jaegel asked:
The comfort of the journey through air is highly dependable on various factors like the airport, the particular airline you choose and the class of travel. There are basically two classes for national flights named economic class and business class. In the case of long distance flights, the number of class will be four including economy class, premium economy class, club class and finally a first class section.
There are some ways to keep yourself secure and safe while traveling through air. The key of keeping safe and secure is that the passenger should be very careful and keep focus on things which are happening around them. Even years after the WTC incident, air travelers are still under threat of terrorism. Even if it is very busy, an airport is considered as the prime set for a criminal or professional thief. There are some ways in which you can keep yourself safe and secure while flying.
Keep the photo identification safely:
If you are not having the photo identification, make sure of having two portions of identification forms of some other kind. You should include one issued by government authority. In the case of minors, they are not indebted to have the identification. Failure in producing proper identification normally results in additional inspection, search and security.
Manage to make some additional time during traveling:
With disabled or elderly passengers, infants or kids give more time for yourself for maneuvering through an airport or make essential arrangements with the airport authorities. It will be very helpful.
Be careful about unattended bags:
If you notice an unattended bag, packages or luggage inside the terminal, report immediately to the security staff at the airport or to some other airport staffs.
Be aware of the things you have:
Keep an eye on your luggage throughout all the shops, airport terminal and lavatories. Don’t ever accept bags or small packages from people whom you don’t know. You should be ready to answer questions regarding the packing of your bag and whether it is left unattended. You should keep your focus on that and answer honestly. There have been many incidents in which terrorists make use of strangers to carry their dangerous devices such as bombs and other stuff. If you are not sure about the safety of your bag, inform it to the airport security authorities.
Avoid fooling around:
Don’t ever try to bluff others about having firearm, weapons or bombs with you. Punishment will be very harsh in that case including imprisonment or other large fines and penalties. So avoid these types of things when you are in an airport.
Leave hazardous products and firearms at home:
Risky products are banned inside the airport. Do not carry fireworks, household cleaners, firearms, pressurized containers or other flammable materials. The violation of this rule may result in severe civil penalties.
Keep focus and report any odd or strange activity:
Keep an eye on the surroundings and people around you while in an airport or aircraft. If you notice something strange unfitting or some unusual behavior including the violation of security, inform it to some security personnel or law
enforcement official.
Keep your self away from doubtful circumstances:
If you got exposed to some potential risk while in airport, stay away from it before informing to some personnel. If any unusual disturbance, unaccompanied packages or suspicious behavior is noticed, stay away from it.
Fasten your seatbelts and listen to flight attendants while in plane:
After seated, keep your seat belt fastened throughout your flight. It provides additional protection if something unexpected happens. The flight attendants are primarily for safety in an aircraft. They are for the assistance and help of the passengers in potential crisis or emergency situations.
Wireless devices, basic rules and emergency use:
In America, pagers, mobile phones and other forms of wireless communication can be used till the passenger entry doors. This rule may vary from country to country. So it will be better to enquire your airline. In the case of an in-flight emergency, study the situation before using and communication device and if the situation demands, call for other personnel for help.
If any problem occurs during the journey or while in airport, it will be better if you share the information with passengers and crew members and work together. By following the essential precautions while flying, travel will be safe and peaceful.

If you are not having the photo identification, make sure of having two portions of identification forms of some other kind. You should include one issued by government authority. In the case of minors, they are not indebted to have the identification. Failure in producing proper identification normally results in additional inspection, search and security.
Manage to make some additional time during traveling:
With disabled or elderly passengers, infants or kids give more time for yourself for maneuvering through an airport or make essential arrangements with the airport authorities. It will be very helpful.
Be careful about unattended bags:
If you notice an unattended bag, packages or luggage inside the terminal, report immediately to the security staff at the airport or to some other airport staffs.
Be aware of the things you have:
Keep an eye on your luggage throughout all the shops, airport terminal and lavatories. Don’t ever accept bags or small packages from people whom you don’t know. You should be ready to answer questions regarding the packing of your bag and whether it is left unattended. You should keep your focus on that and answer honestly. There have been many incidents in which terrorists make use of strangers to carry their dangerous devices such as bombs and other stuff. If you are not sure about the safety of your bag, inform it to the airport security authorities.
Avoid fooling around:
Don’t ever try to bluff others about having firearm, weapons or bombs with you. Punishment will be very harsh in that case including imprisonment or other large fines and penalties. So avoid these types of things when you are in an airport.
Leave hazardous products and firearms at home:
Risky products are banned inside the airport. Do not carry fireworks, household cleaners, firearms, pressurized containers or other flammable materials. The violation of this rule may result in severe civil penalties.
Keep focus and report any odd or strange activity:
Keep an eye on the surroundings and people around you while in an airport or aircraft. If you notice something strange unfitting or some unusual behavior including the violation of security, inform it to some security personnel or law
enforcement official.
Keep your self away from doubtful circumstances:
If you got exposed to some potential risk while in airport, stay away from it before informing to some personnel. If any unusual disturbance, unaccompanied packages or suspicious behavior is noticed, stay away from it.
Fasten your seatbelts and listen to flight attendants while in plane:
After seated, keep your seat belt fastened throughout your flight. It provides additional protection if something unexpected happens. The flight attendants are primarily for safety in an aircraft. They are for the assistance and help of the passengers in potential crisis or emergency situations.
Wireless devices, basic rules and emergency use:
In America, pagers, mobile phones and other forms of wireless communication can be used till the passenger entry doors. This rule may vary from country to country. So it will be better to enquire your airline. In the case of an in-flight emergency, study the situation before using and communication device and if the situation demands, call for other personnel for help.
If any problem occurs during the journey or while in airport, it will be better if you share the information with passengers and crew members and work together. By following the essential precautions while flying, travel will be safe and peaceful.
