The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates on the eastern side of the Arabian peninsula, at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. It has coastlines on the Persian Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf, with Saudi Arabia to the west and southwest, and Oman to the southeast and also on the eastern tip of the Musandam Peninsula as well as an Omani enclave within its borders. It is a country rich in history and culture and an easy starting point for travels in the Middle East.
The United Arab Emirates is a modern and dynamic country. To some, it is an advanced and clean country, to others a touristy "Disneyland".
For most Western tourists, the UAE offers an environment that is extremely familiar. The malls are extraordinarily modern, filled with virtually any product available in the West (save sexually explicit material; movies are censored, as are, to some extent, magazines). The less well known side of the UAE includes remote, magnificent desert dunes on the edge of the Empty Quarter and craggy, awe-inspiring wadis in the north-east bordering Oman.
Alcohol is widely available at many restaurants and bars in Dubai and in the tourist hotels of every other emirate save Sharjah. There is a legal but roundly overlooked requirement to have a licence to buy liquor. The liquor license is proof that the bearer is a non-Muslim. A passport will not suffice. However, you can purchase liquor duty-free at the airport to bring into the UAE. Sharjah emirate is completely dry. A liquor licence is required in all other emirates and is available to residents at different rates, depending on their income, and for a flat fee in Dubai. The requirement is sometimes overlooked at certain stores.
The roads and other public facilities are modern if, at times, extremely crowded. Supermarkets offer a vast assortment of products from the U.S. and Europe, depending on the shop, along with local and regional items. Major international chains such as Ikea and Carrefour have a presence and fast-food chains (nearly all from the U.S.) such as McDonald's and KFC operate widely. On the other hand, there are still a few crowded traditional souks filled with products from around the world, rug stores. These can be hard to find for the average traveler, as the malls tend to gain an overwhelming amount of attention. (Please note that contrary to what is printed in guidebooks, the souks in Abu Dhabi were torn down in 2006 and no longer exist. The souks in Dubai are still wonderful to explore, though).
The Emirates is a federation of seven emirates, and as a result the rulers--or Sheikhs--of each emirate can radically affect the way of life in his respective Emirate. For example, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed al-Maktoum of Dubai is very modern, so Dubai is forward-thinking and cosmopolitan. The ruling sheikhs of Ajman and Sharjah are more conservative, thus the rules there are more strict concerning religion, alcohol, drugs and general living conditions.
The United Arab Emirates is a federation of severn different emirates, each with its own king (or Sheikh). Each emirate retains considerable autonomy, most notably over oil revenues. In theory, the President and Prime Minister are elected by the Supreme Council, which is composed of the kings of each of the seven emirates. However, in practice, the king of Abu Dhabi is always elected President while the king of Dubai is always elected Prime Minister, making the posts de facto hereditary.
The country is extraordinarily dry, getting only a few days of rain a year. Despite that, Emiratis use water at an alarming rate: there are broad swaths of grass in the major public parks, for example, and landscaping can be extensive in the resorts or other public places. The majority of this water comes from desalinisation. Visitors do not pay for their water use. The weather from late October through mid-March is quite pleasant, with high temperatures ranging from around 27°C ( 85°F) to lows around 15°C ( 63°F). It is almost always sunny. Rain can happen between November and February, and can cause road hazards when it does. In the summer, the temperatures soar and humidity is close to unbearable — it is widely suspected that the officially reported temperatures are "tweaked" to cut off the true summer highs, which can reach 50°C, or around 120°F, or even higher!
The population is incredibly diverse. Only some 20% of the population of the Emirates are 'real' Emiratis; the rest come from the Indian Subcontinent: India, Pakistan, or Bangladesh (some 50%); other parts of Asia, particularly the Philippines, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka (another perhaps 15%); and "Western" countries (UK, Europe, Australia, USA, South Africa; 5-6%), with the remainder from everywhere else. On any given day in, say, Dubai or Sharjah, you can see people from every continent and every social class. With this diversity, one of the few unifying factors is language, and consequently nearly everyone speaks some version of English. Nearly all road or other information signs are in English and Arabic, and English is widely spoken, particularly in the hospitality industry. On the other hand, there are elements that would be unsettling for overseas travelers, such as fully veiled women, but as this is "their way", tourists should show respect and will be offered the same in turn.
The weekend in the the U.A.E. for most government and public services as well as businesses runs from Friday to Saturday; for many, Thursday may be a half day (although most often work all day Saturdays). In nearly every city, commercial activity will be muted on Friday mornings, but after the noon services at the mosques most businesses open and Friday evenings can be crowded.
The major exception is during the fasting month of Ramadan, when the rhythm of life changes drastically. Restaurants (outside tourist hotels) stay closed during the daylight hours, and while most offices and shops open in the morning from 8 AM to 2 PM or so, they usually close in the afternoon while people wait (or sleep) out the last hours of the fast. After sundown, people gather to break their fast with a meal known as iftar, often held in outdoor tents (not uncommonly air-conditioned in the UAE!), which traditionally starts with dates and a sweet drink. Some offices reopen after 8 PM or so and stay open well after midnight, as many people stay up late until the morning hours. Just before sunrise, a meal called sohoor is eaten, and then the cycle repeats again.

The seven emirates (imarat, singular - imarah) that make up the UAE are:
The largest of these by far is Abu Dhabi, while probably the most well known is Dubai.
Abu Dhabi - The capital of the UAE
Ajman - The smallest emirate, One of the budget destinations.
Al Ain - Inland and close to the Omani bordertown of Buraimi, Al Ain comprises a triangle between the proper cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Dubai - The most common entry point for travelers, it is the transport and commerce center of the UAE.
Sharjah - A cheaper destination, dusty and chaotic in places but with its own unique charm.
Citizens of the Gulf Cooperation Council do not require a visa.
Citizens of most industrialized countries will receive a 30-day visa on arrival in the United Arab Emirates free of charge. This can be extended for up to 90 days after arrival for a fee of Dhs 500. The countries are listed below:
Australia, Andorra, Austria, Brunei, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom (except BN(O) passports), United States of America and the Vatican.
Several other countries are eligible for free hotel/tour-sponsored tourism visas. See UAE Immigration for the latest details.
All other nationalities will be required to apply for a visa in advance, which will require a sponsor from inside the UAE. Your travel agent will usually be able or arrange this for you if you book your hotel through them.
Israeli citizens are banned by the UAE government from entering the country. However, despite much online misinformation to the contrary, as of 2008 Israeli visa stamps are — by official policy — quietly ignored.
If you are traveling from India (not sure of procedure from other countries), please get a stamp of 'OK to Board'. Most of the times, it is arranged by your travel agent. In case he hasn't then as soon as you get your Visa; take your Visa, Passport and Ticket to your Airlines office and get the stamp of 'OK to board'. Without this you might not be allowed to travel to UAE.
Each non-muslim adult can bring in four items of alcohol , eg four bottles of wine, or four bottles of spirits, or four cases of beer (regardless of alcohol content).
The UAE takes an infamously strict line on medicines, with many common drugs, notably anything with containing codeine, diazepam (Valium) or dextromethorphan (Robitussin) being banned unless you have a notarized and authenticated doctor's prescription. Visitors breaking the rules, even inadvertently, have found themselves deported or jailed. The US Embassy to the UAE maintains an unofficial list of what may not be imported.
Don't even think about bringing in narcotics: possession of even trace amounts leads to a minimum of four years in jail.
The main hub for air transport in the United Arab Emirates is Dubai airport, which is served by several major airlines, most notably Dubai-based Emirates . Direct flights connect Dubai to Johannesburg, London, Sydney, Melbourne, Karachi, Tehran, Riyadh, Bombay, Hong Kong, Paris, Zurich, Frankfurt, New York City, São Paulo and many other major cities in Europe, Asia, Australasia and Africa.
After Dubai, the airport at Abu Dhabi has the next best international connections. Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways now offers direct flights from New York, Toronto and many other airports in Europe and Asia. Other major airlines serving Abu Dhabi include British Airways from London-Heathrow, KLM from Amsterdam, Lufthansa from Frankfurt and Singapore Airlines from Singapore and Jeddah.
For low-cost flights, Air Arabia has set up a hub at Sharjah airport (which is very close to Dubai), and flies there from many cities in the Middle East and India.
There is road access to the United Arab Emirates from Saudi Arabia in the south and Oman in the east. All highways in the UAE are in excellent condition, but there is a huge amount of traffic between Sharjah and Dubai, as well as a 4 AED charge to cross the Salik toll gate. A prepaid license card is required for this.
There is a large network of dhows which transport goods throughout the Gulf and India. It may be possible to buy passage on one of these boats. They call at all coastal cities in the UAE, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Distances in the UAE are relatively short and no rail service exists for the moment, so getting around by road is the only way to go. The roads are generally in excellent condition; however, signage is poor in some of the emirates.
Public transportation within cities remains rudimentary. Dubai is building an extensive monorail and train system, but the other emirates offer very little public transportation. Intercity bus services are fast, comfortable and reasonably frequent.
In the cities of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, taxis are widely available. They are relatively cheap in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. A ride to anywhere within the city of Abu Dhabi will cost approximately US$2, as they charge solely by distance traveled. A night surcharge of US$3 may be added after 10pm, depending on your driver.
The UAE has a modern road system. Renting a car or driving in the UAE requires an international driver's license, which is simply a translation of your standard license and can be acquired at a local automobile association. If you have UAE residency status, you must obtain a local driver's license. This can be a simple process that must be completed at their version of the Department of Motor Vehicles and can be done in 20 minutes, but only if you are from a specific list of countries (predominantly Western). If you are from an Asian country, you currently have to undergo 40 classes at a local driving school and get through a pretty tough license exam. This is changing, though, and it may apply to all nationalities soon. Car rentals are slightly cheaper than in the U.S. There is a flat fee per day for renting a car, which is based upon the car's size. Petrol (gasoline) is, by the standards of both the U.S. and Europe, inexpensive. The road system is based along British or European standards, with a plethora of roundabouts and highly channelized traffic. But the signs are readily understandable and are, in most places, clear and coherent. Drivers in the UAE, particularly in the urban areas, tend to be highly aggressive and often use tactics that range from the stupid to the disastrous. This may perhaps stem from the traffic, which can be extremely congested in the urban areas, or from other factors.
People in the UAE drive extremely fast and some are completely reckless: overtaking by the right is the rule, speed limits are ignored by many--including heavy trucks. Last-second line change seems to be a national sport. The UAE has the third-highest death rate from traffic accidents in the world (just behind Saudi and Oman). Be especially careful when you spot a tinted-window SUV at night: due to the black windows, the driver won't see you if s/he decides to change lanes. Theoretically forbidden, the practice of tinting windows over 30% is widespread among young Arabs, and is generally associated with poor driving skills and fast driving.
There are now some good local city maps, particularly for Dubai (the Explorer series of books). Be aware that construction is on-going, sometimes rapidly changing the road networks, so maps capture only a "point in time." Sharjah remains poorly mapped. Recently a web site (http://www.ae.map24.com/) offered the first decent online maps of the UAE. Google Earth does offer solid satellite pictures but at a level of detail good mainly for broad reference purposes. The lack of good map or signage makes the use of a compass or GPS sometimes useful if you want to get off the highway.
Desert safaris or "wadi bashing" are good attractions in the vicinity of Dubai, but great care needs to be taken while choosing a hired vehicle; it should be a 4WD. Desert safaris are also generally pre-designed with travel agents and can give you good deal as well on quantity.
Some of the largest sand dunes in the world in the south of Abu Dhabi in the Liwa Oasis area.
Beautiful beaches on the east coast.
Rugged, remote wadis in the northern emirates.
One of the main focuses of tourist life (other than shopping) is the beach. The waters of the UAE, although definitely more cloudy in recent years due to heavy coastal construction, are still, for those from less torrid climes, remarkably warm, clean, and beautiful. There are long stretches of white-sand beaches, ranging from completely undeveloped to highly touristed (even in cities like Dubai). The snorkeling and diving can be magnificent, especially along the eastern (Indian Ocean) coast. Vast swaths of desert stretch to the south of the major urban areas, offering dramatic views and terrifying rides in fast-driven safaris. The mountains are dramatic, steep rocky crags, and a visit to them (for example, the town of Hatta) is well rewarded with amazing views. Women wearing bathing suits will draw unwanted attention at the public beaches; it is advisable to pay for a one-day entry pass to a private beach at a hotel.
Ski Dubai in Dubai Emirates Mall opened in December 2005. It is the world's third largest indoor ski slope, measuring 400 meters and using 6000 tons of snow. Ski Dubai resort is the first UAE indoor ski slope to open, and more are planned. No equipment is needed--skis/snowboards, snowsuits, boots and socks are all included in the price (the socks are disposable). You may want to buy a cheap pair of glove liners and a hat from their souvenir store.
The Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi is scheduled to open an indoor ski slope as well in 2007 - 2008. A ski slope in Ra's al Khaimah is also in the works.
Dubai and, to a lesser extent, Abu Dhabi offer a vast spread of food from most of the world's major cuisines. By Western standards most restaurants are quite affordable although it is easy to find extremely expensive food too. Traditional Shawarma and other Arabic cuisines are readily available and are quite cheap and delicious with medium spicy flavour, with controlled calories. Grilled chickens are available at most of the hotels on the road which can be relished with other accompaniments like Khubz (Arabic Bread), hummus, etc.
Dubai has a burgeoning nightlife scene and even formerly straitlaced Abu Dhabi has loosened up and tried to catch up. Alcohol is available in liquor stores, 5-star hotel restaurants and bars in all emirates except Sharjah, where you can only drink in your home or in an expat hangout called the Sharjah Wanderers. As a tourist, you are permitted to buy alcohol in bars and restaurants to drink there. If you are a resident, you're supposed to have a liquor license (never asked for in bars) which also allows you to buy alcohol at liquor stores (they do check).
During Ramadan, no alcohol is served during daylight (fasting) hours. Dubai and Abu Dhabi permit bars to serve alcohol at night, but bands stop playing, background music is off or quiet, no dancing is allowed and nightclubs are usually closed. On certain holy days in the Islamic calendar, no alcohol is served publicly in any of the UAE.
Do not under any circumstance drink and drive in the UAE. If by chance you are in an accident, this becomes a card for going directly to jail — especially during Ramadan. Taxis are widely available if you have been drinking and are a much safer and wiser option given the insane driving habits in the region.
For the visitor, the UAE has one of the most spectacular ranges of tourist accommodations in the world. There are staggeringly beautiful, modern hotels, which can be staggeringly expensive, along with more modest housing. Low-cost accommodations are available but, as anywhere, vary alarmingly as to their condition.
There is an impressive number of super-luxury hotels, most notably the sail-shaped Burj al-Arab (Tower of the Arabs), a Dubai landmark popularly known as a "7-star hotel" — a nonexistent category, but still opulent by any standard. The Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi also aspires to the same standards, at a fraction of the price.
The currency is the United Arab Emirates dirham (AED, local abbreviation dhs). Conversion rates are 3.68 AED for 1 USD, 4.5 AED for 1 EUR and 6.8 AED for 1 GBP. The Dirham is pegged to the USD, so rate variations with this currency are unlikely. Notes are in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 dirhams. There is a one dirham coin with sub-units of 25 and 50 fils coins (100 fils = 1 dirham). There are 5 fils and 10 fils coins but these are rarely seen (and provide an excuse for traders to 'short change').
Cash and travellers' cheques can be changed at exchanges located at the airports or in all the major shopping malls. ATMs are numerous and generously distributed. They accept all the major chain cards: Visa, Cirrus, Maestro etc. Credit cards are widely accepted.
Basic commodities used to be cheaper than in most western countries, although this is changing rapidly (Dubai has moved up the ranking to be the 25th most expensive city to live in; Abu Dhabi is close behind). Hotels rates are not cheap--there is a shortage of hotel rooms available, especially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which keeps the hotels often at above 90% occupancy. Vast numbers of new hotels are scheduled to come on line during the next five to ten years, but as tourism is on the rise, it is unlikely that prices will come down. All things touristy also tend to be rather expensive. Rents in Dubai are starting to compete with cities like Paris or London, and other prices tend to follow. Some places have shared accommodations available and are quite reasonable.
One of the things the UAE is most famous for is shopping. There are no sales taxes in the UAE, but it is very difficult to find any real bargains anymore as inflation is at an all-time high. If you are interested in shopping, you can't leave the UAE without visiting Dubai. Dubai boasts the best places for shopping in the whole of the Middle East, especially during the annual shopping festival, usually from mid-January to mid-February.
The official language is Arabic, but it is safe to say that the majority of the population doesn't speak it (Iranian, Indian, Asian and Western expatriates are more numerous than Arabs in Dubai, and usually have very limited knowledge of Arabic). English is the lingua franca. As the UAE was a British protectorate, most locals would have learnt English in school and would know at least basic English.
Other languages widely spoken in the UAE include Farsi (Persian), Hindi/Urdu (Hindustani), Malayalam, and Tagalog (Filipino). Most people possess at least a basic command of English, though it is not uncommon to meet people whose English is limited.
In Dubai, most shops, hotels, and commercial businesses conduct business in English. Generally speaking, Arabic is spoken by government departments and the police; however, in Abu Dhabi and in the Northern Emirates, Arabic is much more widely spoken.
Emiratis are a proud but welcoming people and, when not in their cars, are generally extremely civil and friendly. Like most peoples of the world, they welcome visitors who are willing to show some amount of respect and can be extremely generous. (Some expats and visitors do not understand that revealing clothing can be quite offensive to some people, even if nothing is said to the offenders.) Their culture is unique and can be highly conservative, but overall they are quite attuned to the ways, customs, events, media, and manners of the world.
Local men usually wear a "Kandora", a white robe and a head gear. Local women wear a black robe and a black head scarf
The UAE is more conservative than most Western societies, though not as much as some of its neighbors. Travelers should be aware and respect the more traditional outlook in the UAE, as there are behaviors typical in the West (for example, making "rude and insulting gestures") that will result in arrest in the UAE. On the other hand, Western travelers will find most of the UAE quite comfortable.
Although women are not required to wear the hijab, most revealing fashions such as tank tops and shorts should be avoided. Below-the-knee skirts are somewhat more acceptable, although you will still incur stares. However, there are quite a few tourist or expatriate-dominated zones where even "provocative" dress may be seen, although not necessary respected. These include many areas of the Emirate of Dubai and, for example, beach resorts in Ajman or Fujairah. Public nudity anywhere is strictly forbidden and will be punished. Sharjah is the most conservative of the Emirates with public decency statutes (i.e., forbidding overly revealing clothing or certain kinds of beach wear), but few of them are enforced (although that varies).
The Emirates are not gay-friendly, and consensual homosexual activity is potentially subject to the death penalty. However, discretion is the key: like many things in Emirati society, what happens behind closed doors is - well - what happens. On the other hand, it is not uncommon for Emirati men or women to show physical affection--Emirati men often kiss one another's noses in greeting and women greet one another with cheek kisses and may hold hands or link arms.
General medical care in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah is quite good, with clinics for general and specialized care widely available, including some which are now open 24 hours a day. Hospitals in the major centers are well-equipped to deal with any medical emergencies. There is an ambulance system in all major population centres; however, coverage can be patchy in the more remote areas. Ambulances are designed for transportation rather than providing care as first responders, so don't expect top-flight on-site care. The main government hospital in Abu Dhabi is quite good; in Dubai, The government hospitals are Rashid hospital, which has a new Trauma Centre and Dubai Hospital which are very good. Welcare Hospital American Hospital Zulekha Hospital NMC Hospital, and Belhoul Hospital in the private sector all have a good reputation. The country is free of malaria and prophylaxis is not needed. In Sharjah, the Kuwaiti (Goverrnment) Hospital accepts expatriates. The private hospitals in Sharjah are the Zahra hospital, Zulekha Hospital and Central Private Hospital. Prices including healthcare are generally cheaper in Sharjah and although all hospitals meet the Ministry of Health standards the Central Private Hospital and Zulekha Hospitals are considered more affordable.These are your best bets (pay extra to the ambulance or taxi drivers to take you to one of these hospitals in UAE); it may save your life.
The water is safe to drink in the UAE, although most people prefer bottled water for its taste. The food is clean and in most restaurants is served to Western standards, particularly in tourist areas; however, hygeine can be an issue in some establishments outside, particularly roadside stalls. That said, food poisoning does happen, so use your common sense!
The heat in summer can reach 50 degrees C (122 degrees F), so avoid outdoors activity at the height of the day and watch out for signs of heat stroke. Be sure to drink lots of water as dehydration happens easily in such heat. If travelling off road (most of the country is desert), ensure you carry sufficient water to allow you to walk to the road should vehicles become bogged.
Although the UAE is somewhat more accommodating to handicapped travellers than other countries in the Mideast, it would nonetheless be a difficult country to navigate in a wheelchair. Curbs are high and there are few, if any, ramps or other accommodations. This includes an almost complete lack of handicapped-friendly bathrooms.
The crime rate is extremely low in the United Arab Emirates, although of course one must use common sense.
A couple of things you should be aware of are to do with drug laws in the UAE. Some common painkillers in western countries are illegal narcotics in the UAE, eg. codeine. Don't bring any with you unless you carry a copy of your prescription. People have received jail sentences for making this mistake. In contrast, antibiotics are freely available over the counter at pharmacies. If you receive a prescription for controlled drugs in the UAE -- such as some painkillers and antidepressents -- be sure to keep the copy of the prescription with you when traveling out of the country.
Another trap for the unwary is that if you are suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, a blood test can be taken and if it shows evidence of substances that are illegal in the UAE, then you will probably end up in jail even if the substances were ingested in the country that you were previously in. In addition to testing your blood they will likely check your belongings. People have been jailed for possession for finding microscopic specks of drugs on them with highly sensitive equipment. Considering that most US currency and the currency of many other nations has been shown to be tainted with microscopic amounts of cocaine the only thing you can do to keep yourself out of jail is to avoid appearing suspicious in the first place.
And on the note of being landed in jail be cautious!
The country code is 971. The mobile phone network uses the GSM technology (as in Europe and Africa) and use is widespread. There are internet cafes in the major towns. The format for dialing is: +971-#-### ####, where the first "#" designates the area code. Key area codes include Dubai (4), Sharjah (6) and Abu Dhabi (2). Calls to mobile phones use the operator's area codes: (50/56) for Etisalat and (55) for Du. Like other countries, when dialing locally, "00" is used to access an international number (and followed by the country code) and "0" is used to access a national number (followed by the area code).
Internet cafes are fairly common in the larger cities, and web censorship is at times odd but rarely obtrusive. Users should be well aware of the fact that any website that contains the Israeli Internet-TLD .il is blocked. Not much information is known of how to bypass this blocking for people who need to visit Israeli websites. Instant messaging and voice-over-IP services like Skype sometimes work. The government owned telecommunications operator blocks access to these services to varying degrees. The blocking does not always stop calls and may vary depending on the network used. They also appear to be able to block Skypeout calls whilst allowing Skype-Skype calls. Even if the services are not blocked, connection speed can be an issue.
Most people use a VPN Service to bypass Local Internet restrictions in UAE.

Rat control in Bear Lake is as old as agriculture as its always been needed to keep crops, food stocks protected from the competition of such pests. Rats and other pests have become a problem due largely to the direct actions of humans. Changing these actions can often reduce the pest problem.
Rat control methods vary and some methods include, poisoning, and trapping. More natural methods can be used such as the removal of garden debris, domestic waste and construction waste etc. Other preventative methods can also be used like sealing openings into the home/premises etc. with the use of wire mesh, concrete and metal. Catch and release traps are sometimes used as a more humane solution.
Rats spread disease and can cause serious damage to peoples homes, as well as posing sanitary and health problems.
Common Questions About Rat Control In Bear Lake
- Where do rats live?
- How do I identify a rat?
- What do rats eat?
- Are rats harmful?
- How do I know if I have a rat problem?
- How do I get rid of rats?
Common rats measure about 25cm ( excluding the tail ) and have an average weight of about 340gms. They can be grey, brown or less commonly black in color. Although sometimes seen in the day rats are nocturnal creatures. They are active burrowers, good climbers and swimmers, have poor eyesight, acute hearing and a good sense of taste and smell.
At 3-4 months old, rats are capable of reproducing, and may have 3-6 litters per year. The size of the litter can be around 6-11 young with a lifespan of between 12-19 months, and it is said there are 5 rats for every human being on earth.
Different Types Of Rat Control In 16407
- Chemicals/poisons
- Traps for rat removal
- Electronic rat removal
- Cage traps for removal
- Electromagnetic & ultrasonic devices for rat removal
The first step in successful rat control in Pennsylvania is to find out where the rats are living or where they are able to come into your home. Rats generally like quiet, dark areas to build their nests so you will be looking for a ball of fuzz and rat droppings in a dark area to determine where the rats are living. There may even be a trail of rat dropping leading from the area where they are stealing food back to where their nesting area is.
Once you have discovered where the rats have been living at, the second step of successful rat control is to choose the pest control items that you will use to get rid of the rats. There are a number of different options to choose from for effective rat control and the option that is chosen will depend on the area where the rodents are located and how accessible the area is for you. Certain types of pest control products are easier to place in small areas than others.
If the rats are in a larger, open area such as the attic of a home, then a snap trap might be the fasted and most effective option for getting rid of the rats. This method of rat control uses a baited trap with a spring-loaded lever that clamps the jaws of the trap shut when the bait is taken. These traps kill the rat immediately without subjecting the rat to undue suffering or prolonged agony in the trap.
One effective way in dealing with a rat infestation is deterring it before it even happens. There are a lot of signs that can easily point out if a certain house or building has been infested by rats. People who are keen in pest control can easily detect such issues.
Norway rats are the rats in the Midwestern area. These are known to be the type of animals, or rats in particular, that live in dens and tunnels. Although burrowing qualities usually fall under sewers and the like, Norway rats may also find burrows inside walls and in nearby dumpsters. In order to spot possible rat infestation, you can check if burrows are dust-free and have prints on the soil. Dug holes, tail marks and food nibbles on the ground are also signs that there is a rat living in your house or somewhere nearby.
Rats and mice are largely responsible for eating up or contaminating a food supply. These types of rodents are known as "commensal rodents" because they live with or in close association to humans. The most common commensal rodents are the house mouse, the Norway rat and the roof rat. These rodents spoil our food by contaminating it with feces, hair and dander.
These pests are found in homes, supermarkets, and restaurants throughout the United States in addition to warehouses and food processing facilities. The prevention and control of the commensal rodent population is a large concern in many states where these pests are able to thrive.
Rat Pest Control Options For Bear Lake, PA 16407
Rat control can be managed in several ways, depending on your where you live, your desire to be green and your budget. The following offers pros and cons for various pest control options.
Mechanical traps. These traps are the fastest and most reliable ways to control pest problems. The trapping of mice has several advantages including value, ease-of-use, and safety. Many home and business owners like traps because they can confirm that the pest control service they hired got them results. It also ensures that the rodents do not die in crawl spaces or basements where they are more difficult to remove. Traps used in conjunction with other green pest control methods often have the best overall results.
Despite these advantages, mechanical traps for mice and rat control may be a bit crude considering other methods today. Animal lovers may not like the cruelty aspect of the way the rodent is killed. Also, such devices placed around an active home or business can be dangerous to little children and pets.
Green Chemical Pest Control. This rat control service offers several advantages and few disadvantages. Chemical rat control is available that is made up of reduced or non-toxic products. Some pest prevention services will offer chemical repellants that include organic or natural products designed to be both effective and biodegradable. This control option is environmentally friendly. They are also less toxic and therefore are safer to have applied to your home if you have small children or pets.
Sound Repellents. Rat repellents that use sound are considered more humane than traditional mice traps. This method uses a device that puts out an intense sound that displaces rodents, causing them to flee from your home. This option is an ideal pest control method for those with small children or other pets that need to be kept safe.
One of the only cons to the repellent is that you may have a harder time getting the rodents to permanently stay away from your home. It also does not always get the entire mouse or rat population to leave.
Traditional Pest Control Chemicals. Mouse and rat poison is still widely used because it eliminates rodents fast and effectively. The bromethalin commonly used in rodenticide causes a speedy death for the pest. Variations of this and various other chemicals are available for indoor or outdoor application.

In the last years of his life, Schubert increasingly succeeded in finding publishers for his works. His Impromptus and Moments musicaux, for example, appeared in print in 1827 and 1828. Probably to pick up on the success of these editions, he wrote three further pieces in May 1828; though no less outstanding than their predecessors, they were not printed until Brahms'edition of 1868, which is perhaps one reason – a completely unjustifiable one – why they are still not very well known today.
- Level of difficulty (Explanation)
- Other titles with this level of difficulty
- 3 Piano Pieces (Impromptus) op. post D 946
These three piano pieces written by Schubert in May of 1828 were probably intended as a continuation of the series of impromptus he had begun in 1827 (opp. 90 and 142). The new set was originally supposed to be made up of four separate pieces. In the event, however, they did not appear in print during Schubert's lifetime. Not until 1868 were the Drei Clavier-Stücke … more
About the composer
Franz Schubert
He is not only the inaugurator of the art song and its most important composer in the nineteenth century, but he also realized a compositional concept in his instrumental works that opposed Viennese Classicism. Underlying the "heavenly length" of his works is a configuration of time that does not function according to the principle of motivic development, but addresses the notion of lingering; modifications occur mostly not in continuous unfolding, but through sudden eruptions. His ornate songs contradict the ideal of simplicity in the Lied aesthetics of his time, and provide the basis for the art song of the nineteenth century, regarded as they were as exemplary by subsequent generations of composers; they are defined by complex harmonies, an integration of the idioms of instrumental music, semantic models, and a new relationship between text and music in which the poem as a whole is interpreted through the composition, rather than just through word painting. His immense oeuvre in spite of his brief life comprises 600 songs, including his two famous song cycles; seven complete and several unfinished symphonies (including the "Unfinished" in B minor); other orchestral works; numerous pieces of chamber music; fourteen complete and several unfinished piano sonatas as well as other piano pieces; dances for piano and four-hand works; six masses and other sacred compositions; numerous pieces for choir or vocal ensemble, especially for male voices. Although he also contributed to every genre of music theater and his friends predicted a career for him in opera, only two of his ten finished operas were performed during his lifetime, as was the incidental music to "Rosamunde."
|Born in Himmelpfortgrund near Vienna on January 31, the son of a teacher. First piano lessons from his brother Ignaz, violin lessons from his father at age eight.

|Composes 110 songs, the Symphonies No. 4 in C minor and No. 5 in B-flat major, and the Mass in C major. He leaves his parents' home, suspends his position as teacher, and moves in with Schober.

|Long holiday travels, including to Gmunden-Gastein, where he composes the Great Symphony in C major (No. 9 or No. 8), in which he considerably expands classical form (e.g. horn motto at the beginning, configuration of time).
|Song cycle "Winterreise" (contrasts dream sequences with reality); German Mass; four Impromptus for piano; Piano Trios in B-flat major, D 898, and E-flat major, D 929.

Finished Quilt measures 56.5 inches x 56.5 inches.
My plan for a Handmade Christmas is slowly unfolding. Are you creating for Christmas?
It's lovely!!ReplyDelete
Anyone would adore this blanket!!! It is gorgeous! I love the black and white stripe - you just can't beat it and by the way, didn't you know that scraps breed in the bin?ReplyDelete
Love it! And love your fabric choices. You must have an awesome scrap bin! Very, very nice!ReplyDelete
Thank you for showing this quilt. I have a simple four patch that I am getting ready to quilt. I have decided on stitch in the ditch and a simple x through the middle like you did.
Then I see all of these beautiful quilts with feathers, etc. and feel guilty for not wanting to take the time to do some fancy quilting.
This quilt reminds me that some quilts simply call for beautiful straight line quilting. (Also much easier on my home machine.)
I have to admit that when I first saw you making this quilt, it didn't appeal to me, it was too busy. But now that I see it finished I think I appreciate it a bit more. Something about not seeing the forest for the trees, until now?
I'm supposed to be making things for christmas, and that is my goal for this month, but I still haven't started! Tonight I started working on my next quilt pattern instead....
Rita, what stitch length did you use while quilting this? I am thinking of using a longer stitch next time I quilt so I am taking inventory :)ReplyDelete
Several things intrigue me about this quilt. One is the simplicity of the backing. Second is the use of the white for the sashing. HmmmReplyDelete
Yummy, yummy, yummy!ReplyDelete
Beautifully Done! You are an inspiration, I love your quilts, and thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
Oh yes, she will love it!! And with that number of scraps she will most certainly recognize the amount of work even if she isn't a quilter. You're a very generous friend!
I agree you chose a great binding.
I always love to see your finished quilts and it seems there is always one "Rita feature" that really sings. That single, offset block on the back (with Pips, no less) is the cat's meow.
What's next??
PS - You've inspired me......you'll fall OVER when I say this, but I don't have a scrap bin because I hate clutter. I feel like a pseudo quilter, like I'm somehow cheating the rules of the game. Sad thing is, I really, REALLY love the look of scrap quilts. I really need to figure out how to start managing scraps so I can do something really fun like this. You've inspired me here!!
Love your quilt and your fabrics.Awesome!!ReplyDelete
Love Love this quilt, I want to put this on my to do list. You have great fabrics.ReplyDelete
I love how this quilt turned out! I couldn't resist pinning it: https://pinterest.com/iftoyscouldtalk/quilts/. :)ReplyDelete
Great "blanket" Rita! Lucky friend.ReplyDelete
Hey Brooke- you can send ME your scraps! :)
Rita! It's gorgeous! Just one question, how do you get your seems to lay so flat! It always seems to me that mine are literally bulging at the seams!!! Please tell!
I love this quilt so much!!
If you had put it in your etsy shop, I would have been sorely tempted!
Your friend is quite lucky!
Another beautiful quilt from Rita!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous, and what a wonderful use for all those scraps. The plain backing is awesome, it really shows your nice crisp quilting lines.ReplyDelete
Oh, the quilt is gorgeous! I love absolutely everything about it!!!ReplyDelete
This is indeed another great blanket. Love the subtle colours and log cabins are my favourite too.
But as your scrap bin isn't (much) lighter yet, I am afraid you will have to make a few more ;-).
Absolutely love it, think I'm a bit too fixated with making quilts with sashing at the moment, but it always looks so good!ReplyDelete
Oh I adore this quilt! You have lovely scraps!! I totally love the one block on the back too, it looks great!ReplyDelete
I am in the midst of making a scrappy red and white log cabin quilt. It is satisfying but it does take a lot of work.ReplyDelete
Love this quilt!ReplyDelete
It's wonderful! The quilting is delightful, and the binding was the perfect final touch.ReplyDelete
What a fortunate friend!! Another super fresh and beautiful quilt, Rita.ReplyDelete
Just gorgeous! And isn't it funny, even when you use scraps for a project, it often doesn't seem to make a dent in the scrap pile?ReplyDelete
scrap bins seem to grow on their own when nobody is looking!!! this is so pretty. i love the colorsReplyDelete
The quilt is absolutely gorgeous. My hand made plans so far extend only to cloth books for my grandsons.ReplyDelete
My husband, when attempting to get my attention or push my buttons, will ask how my "blankets" are coming along!ReplyDelete
As usual, a beauty Rita. Scrap quilts can be a real minefield and are not necessarily deceptively easy. Planning is still needed....without it looking like you've planned. Lucky friend!ReplyDelete
Another fabulous quilt, Rita! Your friend is a lucky person! I'm creating for Christmas, too--a quilt for my folks, a pillow for my grandmother, and a few other odds and ends that just might get done before the 25th!ReplyDelete
i love the quilting a lot. it is so simple but the diagonal line sets it on fire. i love it.ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilt Rita - I guess since I am a "quilting" friend this one is not for me? I wonder what else you are planning to make for Christmas - can't wait to see...ReplyDelete
Very inspirational! Your friend will have a beautiful blanket :o)ReplyDelete
It is beautiful and I am sure your friend will love her new "blanket"
So many great scraps in your quilt. It is fun to look at each block.
I am new to quilting so I don't have a stash yet but I can't wait until I do. Love how it all came together. I just finished hand-quilting a small lap quilt and fell in love with the finished product more and more as I stitched those squares.ReplyDelete
wow! your quilt is stunning! i love it and you're friend is extremely lucky!ReplyDelete
Beautiful! That's so funny because a friend of mine who I recently gifted one of my quilts to, called it a blanket as well :) and I love her for it! I know your friend will love this one!ReplyDelete
Lovely, charming, one I would like to own. All these come to my mind when I see this wonderful quilt. Your work is great.ReplyDelete
I think this is the most perfect quilt possibly ever! I love it!!!ReplyDelete
This quilt is great! I love using up scraps and I'm totally into log cabin quilts. I just made one for my daughter. I think piecing the blocks is so theraputic.ReplyDelete
I love the look of your log cabin blocks. I have an overflowing scrap bin as well, but if I actually did something with it, my cat wouldn't have anywhere to sleep!ReplyDelete
Beautiful, I love your scrappy log cabin blocks.ReplyDelete
it is brilliant! I want to have lots of scraps to make it! I am still working on the other scrappy quilt from you, but this one is on my list!ReplyDelete
Lovely, as usual. I'm sure your friend is going to adore her new "blanket" LOL!ReplyDelete
What size stitch do you use when you machine quilt? I am just starting to machine quilt and can't seem to get a size stitch i like.ReplyDelete
Love this quilt and the binding is delish!ReplyDelete
This is beautiful. I just love your style! I'll be coming back here to find inspiration for sure - thanks!ReplyDelete
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment! I really appreciate it.

Teenager Shocked After Catching Teacher on Video Stealing from Students' Backpacks
Sure, teachers may be underpaid, but there's got to be a better way for them to make some extra money besides stealing.
From their students.
A sophomore at Linden High School, in Linden, California, caught her gym teacher taking money out of students' backpacks and managed to capture it on video.
Justine Betti said students had noticed things had been disappearing from their backpacks all year, so she took it upon herself to hide inside a locker to see if she could get to the bottom of the mystery.
After spotting the unidentified gym teacher rifling through the bags, Justine decided to hide in a locker a second time earlier this month with her phone and caught the teacher in the act.
Justine was crushed, noting, "I didn't want to believe that she would do something like that because she was so nice, but then she did it."
Justine and some classmates went to the principal, who's investigating the matter, while the teacher has been placed on leave. No charges have been filed.

Bills and resolutions are referred to committees which debate the bill before possibly sending it on to the whole chamber.
H.Res. 921 (117th) was a simple resolution in the United States Congress.
A simple resolution is used for matters that affect just one chamber of Congress, often to change the rules of the chamber to set the manner of debate for a related bill. It must be agreed to in the chamber in which it was introduced. It is not voted on in the other chamber and does not have the force of law.
Resolutions numbers restart every two years. That means there are other resolutions with the number H.Res. 921. This is the one from the 117th Congress.
This simple resolution was introduced in the 117th Congress, which met from Jan 3, 2021 to Jan 3, 2023. Legislation not passed by the end of a Congress is cleared from the books.

Are you just beginning the shopping process to buy a new smartphone or cell phone or perhaps upgrading to a new phone with your current carrier? If you're shopping for a new phone available from a leading wireless carrier like Verizon Wireless, Sprint, or T-Mobile here at Wirefly online, you'll have an incredible selection from which to choose. With so many phones to choose from your biggest challenge may be narrowing the choice down to just one phone! On the other hand the process of shopping and selecting a new phone typically boils down to one thing: is this the phone and phone plan that is uniquely right for you? Here's where our Buyers Guide can help as we take you through various steps that include the selection of the right carrier, the cell phone or smartphone that is uniquely right for you, and of course the right phone plan and data plan that is right for you and your wireless budget.
Wirefly features phones from Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile. Each carrier has an impressive lineup of both cell phones and smartphones. Further, each carrier delivers on every wireless consumer's need for speed with powerful and ever-expanding 4G Networks.
Some of the key criteria when shopping for your new wireless carrier might include such factors as the range of plan options they offer that match up with your needs and your budget, coverage areas with a special focus on 4G coverage – which can be up to 10 times faster than 3G – as well as the overall quality commitment the carrier brings to the customer service experience in your estimation. On this last point conversations with friends, family, and co-workers about the carrier they use can carry some weight as can consumer review publications and - since you're taking advantage of the ease and 24/7 convenience of Wirefly online right now - you might also consider taking advantage of various social media venues where we have a presence to see what others are saying about the wireless carrier(s) you're considering.
Once you have chosen the carrier, you'll move forward with the selection of either a cell phone or a smartphone from our deep inventory of phones. Here you'll probably do well to first determine how your new phone will best serve your own unique wireless needs. What do we mean by that? Well let's start with a self-assessment with questions that help you determine your preferences for that new phone and might go something like this:
When you think about it, the above questions might really only scratch the surface relative to your unique needs in a cell phone or smartphone. Other considerations might include the size of your new phone's memory: music fans that download and play a lot of music or other multimedia such as videos and movies might want to make memory size their highest priority. You may even choose a new phone based on the number and quality of the apps you can access and use with your new smartphone. Lots of choices and your accurate self-assessment about how you use a mobile phone will impact both your criteria for the new phone you select and the subsequent enjoyment and satisfaction you derive from your selection.
So - first things first – will it be a cell phone or a smartphone? If you use your phone for talk and text messages, don't have an interest in Web browsing from your phone, and just basically see your phone as a wireless communications device, then the added expense of paying for the necessity of a data plan that goes hand-in-hand with a smartphone purchase doesn't really make much sense. While we typically break mobile phones into two separate and distinct categories - cell phones and smartphones – another term you should be aware of is feature phone. Think of a feature phone as smartphone 'light'. It is a phone that has certain features like a stylish touch screen, perhaps a slider design that accommodates the needs of a text messaging fan, a camera and may feature music capabilities that let you put that old iPod in the drawer forever. The feature phone has that extra special something and doesn't require the additional cost of a monthly data plan and can be your happy medium between the costs associated with pricier smartphone data plans and a practical but style and feature-deprived cell phone segment.

Well here we are: you've gone down the list of our self-assessment questions and it turns out you are in need of a new…smartphone!
Let's start with what may be the most obvious component of your new smartphone: the operating system or 'OS'. It's actually so ubiquitous that consumers and those within the industry often use slang terms to describe phones in a carrier's lineup: Android phone or Windows phone. It should also be noted that the Wirefly lineup of carrier phones includes a formidable lineup of BlackBerry models which are powered by BlackBerry's own proprietary OS.
By far the leading operating system of its kind, Android has had a number of versions or updates over the course of its history. The folks behind the Android phenomenon have a bit of fun with the names they assign versions so you'll see names like 'Ice Cream Sandwich' or 'Jelly Bean' amongst other names to describe a particular OS version. Phone manufacturers lay a skin or interface over the version of Android they have chosen for the phone they are manufacturing and marketing. These skins vary by manufacturer depending on the preferences of the manufacturer. All Android smartphones are customizable and are enhanced with widgets and apps from Google Play, the Android app market featuring hundreds of thousands of free and paid apps.
The team over at Windows Phone has gone the more traditional route with naming conventions and thus you might see Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8 as their operating system moniker. The Windows Phone operating system offers a more consistent look and feel across manufacturing partners in part because Microsoft believes its 'tiles' approach offers a simpler, more intuitive user experience and thus fulfills the needs of a specific segment of the smartphone user marketplace. Like Android phones, Windows smartphones can be personalized with apps, games and more.
Folks who buy BlackBerry love their world-famous email capability. Recently, BlackBerry has been adding greater web browsing support and expanding its own app market.
In terms of prominence, a phone's network speed is likely second only to its operating system. In fact it's not at all unusual to see a phone incorporate the term 4G in its name. Smartphones coming to market today are all about 4G Network speed in that your new smartphone will likely feature the ability to utilize an advanced wireless network that may be called 4G LTE, 4G HSPA+ or WiMaxx depending on the carrier. With speeds that can outpace 3G by as much as 10 times, you'll want to prepare for the future of wireless by going the 4G route! Before purchasing your new phone, be sure to confirm the network coverage in the area you plan to use your new phone most.
Is there a close third item on our shopping list of smartphone priorities? There sure is and some might argue that it ranks right up there with a phone's network speed capability: your phone's battery life. A phone's standby time and talk time are two measurements you may want to take into account based on how you use a wireless device and your past positive or negative experiences with charges held by your previous phone's battery. Standby time and talk time are two specific terms for a phone that is turned on and in use: standby time is defined by the maximum amount of time a phone is fully charged, turned on, and ready to receive voice, text, or email messages. This period is measured in days. Talk time refers to your phone in active use, be it you chatting on the phone or surfing the Web. Talk time is measured in hours.
Let's consider your new phone's form factor. What's a form factor? Well it's industry-speak for the basic design of a phone – with a design that is based on achieving either/both aesthetic or functionality objective(s). The form factor may be a simple slab with a touch screen on its front and perhaps a rubberized or textured backing to facilitate a better, more comfortable grip. It can also be a slide, swivel, or fip design that, when open, can offer up a physical QWERTY keyboard or keypad.
We return once again to the theme of accurate self-assessment about how you'll be using your new smartphone. It's really not so different from shopping for a new car: have a family of six? That sporty two-seater is probably not the right choice. Like your vehicles to be rugged and capable of navigating in foul weather? Here again that two-seater with the low-profile tires? A two-seater sports car is great for a drive about town on a beautiful spring day but… probably not the right choice for you in the long run in these situations. We can apply these same lessons to our search for that one right phone: texting fans might feel that a physical QWERTY keyboard is a non-negotiable item. Photography fans may have their eye on a recent smartphone release that has both a certain minimal megapixel count and offers minimal shutter lag-time to facilitate better action shots. With a two-year commitment in the offing, your self-awareness about how you want to use your new phone will go a long way towards helping to ensure your satisfaction with the choice you make.
Recently, touch screens are becoming common place on smartphones and basic phones alike. So let's take a closer look at this popular feature and consider how it effects your purchase decision.
With the exception of a power button, a volume control feature and perhaps a button to capture an image with your phone's camera, you'll control the vast majority of your phone's capabilities from the comfort of your touch screen. You'll also have the option of typing out a text message or controlling a particular feature on your phone, watching a video or playing a game on your phone with the phone held in either a vertical or horizontal position: change positions with the turn of a wrist and watch as your screen's rotation matches that of your hand.
As you might imagine there is no one standard size touch screen with variances such as different sizes, different display specifications – here's where you'll reference your self-assessment: see yourself watching downloaded shows on a cross-country flight? Perhaps you're a gamer and the size and vibrancy of the screen makes a significant impact on your gaming experience? On the flip side, you might own a tablet PC where you enjoy your multimedia experiences, so you want your smartphone to offer compact, easy-to-fit in your front pocket styling.
Staying with the physical features of your new smartphone choice, let's talk camera features! Without question one of the major impacts today's smartphones have had on the consumer electronics marketplace is rapid development in the quality of the images and video captured by phones and the two-in-one convenience of today's camera phones. Remember when you might have carried a small digital camera in a bag or purse right beside your phone? Today's smartphone with their high megapixel count and array of other advanced features related to still images and video have redefined how we can use our phones to capture special moments and instantly share those moments with friends and family via email or posts to popular social media and image sharing sites.
Whether you are a committed amateur photographer, a professional prepping a complicated location shoot for a remote client, or a parent capturing a special moment shared with your child, today's smartphones have a dazzling range of features that can deliver high quality images and video all with the touch of a button. Add to this the easy and convenient ability to adjust, improve or stylize a picture with the aid of a convenient phone app such as those found at Google Play and your new smartphone gives you the ready ability to capture beautiful memories to last a lifetime. A smartphone camera feature to be mindful of while shopping: a phone featuring both a rear facing and front facing camera. A front facing camera does exactly that: it faces you and facilitates the ability to engage in video chats. Video options to be mindful of include image stabilization and higher pixel counts that provide for crisper, higher definition videos to better accommodate online posting and transfer to DVD for long term storage and use.
Are you a music fan? Want to keep your music close at hand at all times? Today's phones are as highly-lauded by music fans as the aforementioned camera phones are by photography fans. Music fans – and fans of other multimedia that requires device storage – might gravitate first towards a phone's memory capabilities. Here's where a phone's built-in memory capability and the ability to expand that memory capability with a microSD card will factor in. It's worth noting that the availability of cloud storage and streaming services are other important options to both accommodate the safekeeping and ready access to the entertainment you want on your smartphone and to easily access the entertainment you want when you want it. To mention the obvious: sound is a critical component of how we enjoy our entertainment. To that end, today's smartphone shopper will want to verify that the phone they have their eye on will readily accept non-proprietary headphones or require an adapter? Perhaps a wireless Bluetooth stereo headphone or the now deservedly popular Beats Audio feature are other great options you'll seek out in finding the best way to enjoy rich, authentic sound across the full spectrum of how you use your new smartphone device.
Well we've covered some of the more popular features found on smartphones today: camera phones, music, and multimedia entertainment portals for those-on-the-go are a few of the bigger attractions when it comes to how phones are marketed and shopped for in today's wireless world. There are - however – an array of other features which may impact your use and enjoyment of the phone you ultimately select so let's spend some time reviewing just some of the many other specifications and capabilities found on popular smartphones today:
In a highly competitive market segment like this one each carrier is looking for their own unique edge in delivering a great user experience. To that end, you'll want to explore a smartphone's highlight reel of features at Wirefly online to gauge the value of a phone's other features as they relate to how you use a smartphone. A carrier's unique music, entertainment, and various messaging options may be the tiebreaker for any number of wireless shoppers.
Well we've covered a lot of ground: we've talked about both smartphone and cell phone shopping – with a dash of feature phone too! But wait, there's still another option: the Prepaid Phone. Long the model for how folks in Europe and other parts of the world acquire their mobile phone, a prepaid phone as offered by one of Wirefly's prepaid carriers is purchased outright by the consumer. Purchasing your new phone outright might mean laying out $100, $200 or more for a new smartphone model. Conversely, now that you own that new smartphone you do not have to abide by the terms of a two year contract which is typical in the postpaid phone world of leading carriers such as Verizon Wireless, Sprint, T-Mobile and others. Think of it this way: in the prepaid phone world you pay the going rate for a phone but avoid a contract. In the postpaid world, you are asked to sign up for a contracted period of time but the carrier will provide a subsidy for the cost of that new smartphone which might have otherwise cost you a lot more money.
Prepaid phones offer you ease and convenience with no contract approval process and the inevitable credit check. It gets better: today's prepaid phone marketplace features smartphones that are both stylish and powerful. Prepaid phones mean Android power combined with the same stylishly designed smartphones seen advertised on the postpaid scene. And there's still more: today's prepaid phone marketplace features phones from leading prepaid carriers who are taking innovative approaches to billing options. Carrier billing options that range from reduced monthly billing for a record of on-time payments and unlimited talk, text, and data at an attractively low fixed monthly rate are two examples of the exciting savings you'll find when you go prepaid phone shopping! Compare prepaid cell phone plans at Wirefly.
