But does that include projects that require construction equipment? There are several things to ask yourself before you decide whether to rent (or buy) construction equipment or to call in the pros.

Two of the most important things to consider are cost and size of the project. Have you always wanted a pond? Theres really nothing stopping you from building one if you have enough land and there are no zoning laws restricting it. Thats going to be a pretty big project and you might be surprised how much earth has to be moved to create even a small pond for watering livestock.

Think youre not qualified to operate construction equipment? You might be right. If youve never operated a bulldozer, youre going to quickly find out that those professionals only make it look easy. Theres a lot to learn <

Contact Lenses or Spectacles?

While plenty of people still wear glasses, there seems little doubt that theyre on the way out.

glasses, spectacles, contact lenses

While plenty of people still wear glasses, there seems little doubt that theyre on the way out. Theres no doubt that putting them in and taking them out can be scary at first, but once youre used to it they are much more convenient than having bulky glasses on your face, not to mention almost invisible, even to people who get close to your eyes.

Vanity isnt the only reason to wear contact lenses, though. For many people, it is simply more practical they work better for sport or any kind of manual work, for example, where glasses could easily get damaged. Contact lenses are also not subject to the many things that can go wrong with glasses, such smashing, breaking, or being affected by the weather (when they get rained on, for example).

If youre just entering the world of contact lenses, though, it can feel like a bit of a maze. What should you get? Hard lenses

A Consultant Technologies product is set to revolutionize instant messaging for business.

Specially designed for the corporate sphere, IMJack offers real-time messaging multi-user conferencing and personalized presence and availability settings.

It is set to make multi-tasking and online collaboration a natural part of office life. IMJack should also save businesses time and money by enabling quick answers to just a moment requests, freeing external telephone lines and reducing out-of-office excursions.

Over 85 per cent of employees use instant messaging at work, according to a survey by the Radicati Group.

IMJack is different to consumer instant messaging in that it offers high-tech monitoring and strong security measures, protecting information from hackers and leaks.

Crucially, whereas consumer messaging can lead to falls in productivity, IMJack enables a firm to choose whom they add to the network.

Other features include full messaging and voice recording and super-fast file sharing.

Moreover, the personalized presence function informs colleagues - at your discretion - where you are and when you will be back.

Coenraad Bezuidenhout, who is in charge of the product, said: ''We are excited to announce our launch of the IMJack secure instant messaging product as part of our changing business model. We believe it will add significant value to businesses of all sizes - not only will they see an immediate increase in efficiency, they will also see a measurable reduction in bottom-line costs. We are confident that anyone will see the benefit to them within a few weeks of using IMJack.''

Mr Bezuidenhout added: ''Were seeing the application of the IMJack product extend into several sectors including education where schools are using it to protect children against cyber-bullying and undesired external influences. ''

Andy Tucker, one of the users of the IMJack product from Thai Mosaic and Ceramics, commented: ''IMJack Secure IM brought our company a conservative cost saving of 4,000 per month. TMC reached a full Return on Investment after just 2 1/2 months of using IMJack.

''This was achieved through reducing our courier costs, improving our contacts with our suppliers and freeing-up our landlines to take more sales calls. TMC can highly recommend the IMJack product.''

Consumer reports hybrid cars

Consumer Reports On Hybrid Cars

Hybrids are the in thing these days. A hybrid car operates with 2 engines -- one using traditional fuel, and the other energy from a rechargeable battery. With the influx of hybrid cars in the market, one cannot simply take advertisement and supplier claims for their word. After all, it is every hybrid car manufacturer's duty to sell. So, how do we sift through the multitude of brands, then?

The simplest way is by reading consumer reports on hybrid cars.

There are lots of information available about hybrid cars. Data from the manufacturer's website are good sources of needed preliminary knowledge on hybrid cars. However, we may be able to glean a much more honest report on the ins and outs of this new revolutionary vehicle by consulting consumer reports.

What consumer reports say about the reliability of hybrid cars

"These hybrid systems have been very reliable," according to Consumer Reports' senior director for auto test centers David Champion. Mr. Champion said that around 94% of Toyota Prius owners would definitely buy another Prius and are very happy and satisfied.

Findings like this one can prove valuable to a consumer, because aside from taking individual consumer reports on certain hybrid car models, it also provides comparison on certain features.

However, this doesn't really show that consumer reports agree with other opinions, as some automobile experts and analysts have criticized the hybrid car as flamboyant because of the fact that two engines are being used for one purpose. Several consumer reports argue explaining that the electric motor adds power to the engine.

Consumer reports often say that they are for the protection of environment, asserting that they are supportive in the burning of less fossil fuel. This is in lieu of opinion from experts that hybrid drivers are paying too high for an automobile that offers only marginally better fuel efficiency than the other economy cars already on the road.

At one point, consumer reports compared the 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid car, which consumes 36 miles per gallon and worth $21,000, with the 2003 Honda Civic EX, which consumes 29 miles per gallon and worth $18,500 a unit on the average. Interested to know the results? The tax break excluded, it would take a consumer 21 years in fuel savings to cover the earlier expense for buying hybrid.

So many information, right? The fact of the matter is, consumer reports only serve as a healthy guide for people planning on buying hybrid cars. It takes rigorous tests on the products itself, using the expertise of its well-appointed staff and crew, and hopes that the consumer will be able to discern for himself if the product is worth buying or not.

In the end, after all the consumer reports that have been released and published about hybrid cars, it is still the buyer's decision that will prevail.

Some consumer reports say hybrid cars are practical; some don't. Some say only specific models are recommendable; others argue against them and sing praises about others. The bottomline is, consumer reports are exactly what they are: consumer reports. Their findings are based on their experience and opinions of the their own set of experts. How you respond to them, however, is a different story.

dWhen people visit your internet website, they should know what site they are on regardless of the page they visit. There should be a consistent look and feel to every page, and most sites follow this tenet, but many times forget about the little details that sit idly on your pages.

Icons for going back to a previous page, for printing the page or even the icons that line your menu should all follow the same theme as your site as part of your internet marketing effort. Every aspect of your website should be about your brand. Whether it stands out from the rest is not nearly as important as standing with the rest of your site. If a visitor travels to another of your pages, which looks different, they may believe they accidentally left your site and then leave it all together.

A simple concept for internet marketing branding is your logo as an icon that can be used as an icon for everything on your site. It can sit as a static logo next to a text link or the icon that is clicked when a person wants to refer a friend to your site. Obviously it will need to be much smaller than the main logo on your page or other areas to be used as a menu icon, perhaps as small as 16 x 16 pixels, but the reduced image will continue your branding throughout the page and offer a benefit to your internet marketing effort.

Additionally, with this level of branding throughout your site there will be no doubt of which site your visitor is on and if you use a smaller version of your logo as the icon to bookmark your page, it will help sear your name into their memory. Remember, returning visitors often buy more than first time visitors and keeping your image in their minds will aid your internet marketing efforts.

People must consider how they will handle their contact lens when they get them home. There are contact lens care systems available that are available that are designed to work well with not only your eyes, but your lenses and lifestyle too. There are different care methods required for soft contact lenses than the care methods for gas permeable lenses.

A contact lens care system will ensure good contact lens care. It is a group of disinfecting and cleaning products that are highly recommended by eye professionals for the type of contact lens that is prescribed for your eyes. Each contact lens prescription is based on your lifestyle which will determine which contact lens is right for you.

Some people mix and match their contact lens solutions because some are cheaper than others, and end up with infected eyes, scratched corneas, and warped contact lens surfaces. For proper contact lens care, solutions in a set system should be used together at all times, and should be used according to the directions on each container.

People should establish a regular contact lens care plan that they will use day by day when they are inserting and removing their contact lenses. A good contact lens care plan would be to meticulous clean your hands by a full wash and drying practice before the lenses are moved from the eyes. For handling contact lenses, a good contact lens care plan would require that the lens be placed in the palm of the hand.

In this position, contact lens care instructions might require squeezing several drops of solution into the palm, and strictly prohibit direct spray onto the contact lens surface. By reading the instructions on the bottle, contact lens wearers will be able to develop a good contact lens care plan.

One contact lens care plan might require that both sides of the lens be rubbed in the solution in a back and forth motion. For other lenses, a manufacturer might institute a contact lens care plant that requires that several drops of cleaning solution be added directly to the lens and rubbed between the forefinger and thumb for 20 to 30 seconds to remove dirt and unseen particles.

Some contact lens care programs require enzyme cleaning solutions to be used to help remove protein deposit from the surfaces of certain brands of contact lenses. A contact lens professional will advise you if this step is necessary to ensure that your vision is not affected by this chemical process.

How you store your contact lens is a major part of a good contact lens care program. contact lens will not be ruined if they dry out over night, but many people think they are ruined. If a contact lens dries out in the container, all that the contact lens wearer needs to do is perform the cleaning and rinsing process again before they place their contact lens back into their eyes. Simple rewetting is not a good route to take because the solutions penetrate the surface of the lens better than plain water.
