Suit Shop

The DXL story begins back in 1976 when two friends noticed a lack of stylish, well-fitting clothing options for taller and huskier men. Seeing a need in the market, they opened the very first Destination XL store in Cambridge, MA specifically to provide quality apparel sized for big and tall body types. The original store was a huge success, and over the next decade we continued expanding across the United States. By the 1990s, our company began operating under the name Casual Male XL to reflect our primary focus on casual clothing for bigger guys. In the 2000s, we acquired other major big and tall retail chains to enhance our national store footprint while also launching our e-commerce site. This strategic growth enabled us to better reach and serve customers all over the country.

Mecklenburg County was formed by English colonists in 1762 from the western part of Anson County, both in the Piedmont section of the state. It was named in commemoration of the marriage of King George III to Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz,[5] for whom the county seat Charlotte is named. Due to unsure boundaries, a large part of south and western Mecklenburg County extended into areas that would later form part of the state of South Carolina. In 1768, most of this area (the part of Mecklenburg County west of the Catawba River) was designated Tryon County, North Carolina. Like its seat, the county is named after Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Queen of the United Kingdom (1761–1818), whose name is derived from the region of Mecklenburg in Germany. It was named for Mecklenburg Castle (Mecklenburg meaning "large castle" in Low German) in the village of Dorf Mecklenburg.

When the novel begins, a young eight-year-old girl named Fern saves a runt pig on her parents’ farm. She stops her parents from killing the small creature, chastising them for wanting to kill an animal just because it’s smaller and weaker than its siblings. She names the pig Wilbur and takes care of him until he is too big. He’s sold to the Zuckerman’s who owns a nearby farm. They buy him for six dollars, and Fern visits him as often as she can. Emma Baldwin, a graduate of East Carolina University, has a deep-rooted passion for literature.

Charlotte’s Web also celebrates diversity and teaches children to accept and appreciate differences in others. Charlotte’s Web is an important novel for its important lessons and messages, as well as its vivid descriptions and memorable characters. It is a story that can be enjoyed by both children and adults alike and continues to captivate readers even after almost 70 years. Every month, I spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars keeping The Marginalian going. For seventeen years, it has remained free and ad-free and alive thanks to patronage from readers.

If this labor makes your own life more livable in any way, please consider aiding its sustenance with a one-time or loyal donation. In the late 1930s, White turned his hand to children's fiction on behalf of a niece, Janice Hart White. His first children's book, Stuart Little, was published in 1945, and Charlotte's Web followed in 1952.

Themes and Analysis

White is an iconic children’s novel that has remained popular since its first publication in 1952. The novel follows Wilbur the pig as he is taken away from his home on the farm and thrust into the harsh world of the county fair. His only friend is Charlotte, a wise old spider who befriends Wilbur and helps him out of his many sticky situations. Together, they make a formidable duo, and it is Charlotte’s selfless sacrifice that eventually saves Wilbur from being slaughtered. One cold October evening I was lucky enough to see Aranea Cavatica spin her egg sac and deposit her eggs.

White, who once admitted to having “mice in the subconscious,” had been fascinated by the creatures for decades and had made them the subject of his childhood writings and stories for family gatherings. The first two-thirds or so of The Story of Charlotte's Web recounts White's life up to his 50s, when he began writing his masterpiece. White was encouraged to attempt children's fiction by his wife, Katherine White, who was the fiction editor of The New Yorker and a regular reviewer of children's literature. She had urged him to write his first children's book, Stuart Little, which was published in 1945 and had taken him over six years to write. E. B. White's Newbery Honor Book is a tender novel of friendship, love, life, and death that will continue to be enjoyed by generations to come.

When Wilbur discovers that he is being raised for slaughter, she promises to find a way to save his life. Fern often sits on a stool, listening to the animals' conversation, but over the course of the story, as she starts to mature, she begins to find other interests. At its core, Charlotte’s Web is about the bond between animals and humans and how the strength of that bond can overcome any obstacle. It speaks to the power of friendship and love and offers an uplifting message of hope.

It is a story that offers invaluable lessons to readers of all ages, from the significance of friendship to the idea of selfless love. Charlotte's Web is a book of children's literature by American author E. B. White and illustrated by Garth Williams; it was published on October 15, 1952, by Harper & Brothers.

Stuart Little initially received a lukewarm welcome from the literary community. Our work is created by a team of talented literature experts, to provide an in-depth look into books, like no other. White features some of the best-loved characters in the history of children’s literature—Charlotte and Wilbur. It becomes apparent, however, that Charlotte is unwell.

She misses most of the fair's events in order to go on the Ferris wheel with Henry Fussy, one of her classmates. The story is full of powerful themes, timeless symbols, and important moments that make it so special. Charlotte’s Web is a beloved classic written by E.B.

Prequalifications offer a rough estimate of how much mortgage you may qualify for without requiring a credit check or extensive review of your financial situation. Preapprovals give you a firmer estimate and outline the possible interest rates and loan amounts you’ll qualify for based on your credit score and finances. Mortgage pre-approval is an evaluation conducted by a lender to determine how much money they are willing to lend you for buying a home. During this process, you provide the lender with your financial information, including income, assets, debts, and credit history. The lender reviews these details and assesses your creditworthiness and ability to repay the home loan.

A Guide To Conditional Approvals For Home Buyers

It gives you a rough estimate of how much you might be able to borrow. On the other hand, pre-approval is a more comprehensive evaluation, where the lender verifies the information you provide and assesses your creditworthiness in detail. Pre-approval holds more weight and is a stronger indication of your eligibility for a mortgage.

Step 2: Fill out the online prequalification form

You don’t necessarily have to do all the work on your own, either — there are many down payment assistance programs available. Most of them are geared toward buyers who earn under a certain threshold of money each year, offering low- and moderate-income individuals a way to buy a home. For example, Redding and La Mesa are two of the cities with options to help buyers manage their upfront expenses. There are a few first-time homebuyer programs in California that can offer assistance.

Pros of Mortgage Pre-qualification

Getting prequalified is a great way to figure out your home buying budget, but it’s not a requirement. You should be able to look at homes without going through the prequalification process. Here are some answers to a few frequently asked questions to help you decide between a mortgage prequalification and a mortgage preapproval. Getting preapproved for a mortgage will be the best option for most serious home buyers.

Step 1: Choose a lender that offers prequalification

The expiration period can vary, but is commonly between 60 and 90 days. This means that your pre-approval is valid for a specific timeframe, usually a few months from the date of issuance. With an idea of the mortgage amount you might be eligible for, you can better focus your home search on properties within your budget. This can save time and help you set realistic expectations early in the home buying process.

On the other hand, mortgage preapproval is based on a more comprehensive analysis of a prospective borrower’s financial health. Aside from their distinct roles in homebuying, prequalification and preapproval can take different amounts of time. Prequalifying at Bank of America is a quick process that can be done online, and you may get results within an hour. For mortgage preapproval, you’ll need to supply more information so the application is likely to take more time.

Apply for pre-approval

The reason these conflicts don't occur is that the price is often fixed. A seller may hold out for more money, but in general a company operates on a first-come, first-served basis. When rates bounce around from week to week, a buyer looking into a house one day might not be able to afford the same property the next day, she said. “Lenders prefer borrowers with stable employment and income histories because they view them as less risky,” says Vernon.

For example, let's say that three buyers all want the same house for different reasons. Buyer one offers the sales amount, while buyer two offers $275,000 and buyer three offers $300,000. In this case, it’s likely that buyer three will win the bidding war unless another buyer offers a higher amount.

What if I don’t qualify for a personal loan?

Once the lender assesses your credit and financial profile, it’ll decide whether you’re preapproved for a mortgage. If you are, you’ll be issued a preapproval letter stating the loan amount and maximum home purchase price you were approved for, along with the preapproval expiration date. First, real estate agents typically want to see your preapproval letter before they show you houses. This ensures they don’t waste time showing you homes outside your budget. The final step in the homebuying process in California is closing on the house.

It features a lengthy 0% intro APR period, a cash back rate of up to 5%, and all somehow for no annual fee! Click here to read our full review for free and apply in just 2 minutes. But if your offer is accepted (despite a lack of pre-approval), and it turns out you can't actually get a mortgage, you'll have wasted a busy professional's time -- plus your own. If you’re ready to buy a home within the next few months, taking the extra step to get preapproved can be well worth your time. If you’re a first-time home buyer, you’ll want to be prepared throughout the home buying process. Starting with preapproval is ideal if you know you’re ready to buy a home and want to make a qualified offer immediately.

Your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) helps lenders decide whether or not you’re able to take on more debt. It shows how much money you have going out versus what you have coming in. There are maximum DTIs for mortgage approval, depending on the type of loan.

Just like you should seek a second medical opinion for your physical wellbeing, you should also do so for your financial wellbeing. Don’t settle for the first prequalified loan offer you receive without checking elsewhere. Different lenders may provide more favorable options, including b better APRs, loan terms and potential discounts. If you’ve never owned a home before — or if you haven’t owned one within the last three years — the California Housing Finance Agency considers you to be a first-time homebuyer.

Other loan types, such as VA loans and USDA loans, do not have government-mandated minimum credit scores, however, lenders often set their own minimum scores. Generally, the higher your credit score, the lower interest rate and better mortgage terms a lender will offer you. Each time you apply for a loan preapproval or approval, a lender checks your credit with a “hard pull.” This typically lowers your score by a few points. However, FICO® states your credit score generally won’t be negatively affected if you make all your inquiries on a home loan within 30 days. That means the best time to get preapproved is at the start of your home buying journey.

When you prequalify for a home loan, you’re getting a general estimate of how much a lender will allow you to borrow. When you prequalify for a home loan, you’re getting an estimate of what you might be able to borrow, based on information you provide about your finances, as well as a credit check. Preapproval is not a guarantee you will receive a loan, and the mortgage can still be denied. A home appraisal must be completed before a loan can close to ensure you aren’t paying more for the home than it’s worth.

It will help you narrow in on your dream house and stand out to sellers. After you’ve been prequalified for a mortgage, you can pursue mortgage preapproval. You’ll need to speak to a home loan expert and provide documentation to verify your income and assets. In order to preapprove your mortgage application, the lender will need certain documents to verify your income, job stability and other factors.

Based on this overall financial picture, the lender estimates how much you may be able to borrow. Mortgage pre-approvals usually have a minimal and temporary impact on your credit score. While the credit check involved in the pre-approval process is considered a hard inquiry, it typically results in only a slight decrease of a few points or less.

Gorgeous Glowing Beauty #7 was a soft, pale gold with warmer undertones and a natural sheen. It had rich color coverage paired with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that wasn’t powdery at all but remained blendable and easy to work with. The “downside” was that it was quite pigmented rather than buildable. Gorgeous Glowing Beauty #3 is a medium-dark burgundy with muted, warm undertones and a matte finish.

I would find those blush pans really difficult to get any product out of too Christine. They are so tiny and the larger bronzer shade is really a waste (in terms of quality and shade) because it would only suit some skintones.

I purchased this gorgeous face palette from Cult Beauty a few weeks ago. I don’t mind the smaller blush pans – they make me reach for brushes that I should use more often, like the Smith 157 and 103. I would have preferred a bronzer that didn’t have an orange lean. (The bronzer in the Lovegasm palette did as well, and it suited me better as an eyeshadow.) I find these palettes so handy.

This unique technology application brings together Charlotte’s expert makeup artistry techniques combined with the latest digital innovation. The Magic Mirror will allow everyone to experience a virtual one-on-one consultation with the world’s number one makeup artist. Charlotte Tilbury Glowing Jen Kissing Lipstick ($37.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium plum with strong, warm undertones and a luminous finish.

Gorgeous Glowing Beauty #5 is a medium-dark, pink-peach with warm undertones and a frosted sheen. It had a soft, almost cream-like texture that felt silky and smooth to the touch. The cheek color applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edges. The opaque coverage might be a bonus for some but kept it from being buildable as described–though you could use it with a very light hand. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before I noticed signs of fading. In the video, Tilbury says that no other beauty product compares to the “dreamy, fresh, glass-like, candlelight skin” effect of the wands.

Gorgeous Glowing Beauty #4 is a medium, orange-leaning brown with barely-there gold micro-sparkle over a more semi-matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, despite the formula marketed as having more buildable coverage. To start, the new fragrance line, called Charlotte's Fragrance Collection of Emotions, wasn't just about beauty — it was science. Tilbury worked with a team from International Flavors and Fragrance (IFF) and used the company's Scentcube AI algorithm to combine ingredients that the brand says help boost certain emotions.

With over 30 years experience, Charlotte Tilbury MBE is the world's number 1 makeup artist and British beauty entrepreneur.

Charlotte Tilbury is thrilled to announce the launch of her first-ever beauty wonderland flagship store at The Grove in Los Angeles that opened June 26th.

Since these perfumes are pretty pricey at $150 a pop, I'd suggest testing a sample or purchasing a smaller size to make sure you found your favorite before splurging on the full size. They also have a discovery set that would be perfect to test out all six fragrances. The brand also has a fragrance finder that can help you make a choice you'll love. How something smells to me will more than likely smell different to you. While my favorite scents were Joyphoria and Magic Energy, my least favorites might end up being your favorites. Although I would like to have more sex and increase my feelings of love, unfortunately, those weren't the scents that spoke to me.

The wands are available in seven “beautifying, natural hues” ranging from gold to peach to rose, in both shimmer and radiant finishes. Many shades can be worn as either a highlighter or blush, each blending effortlessly into skin. The wands are formulated with hydrating glycerin and smoothing silica to keep the skin looking and feeling its healthiest, per the brand. The beautiful store features a stunning rose quartz sink inspired by Tanit, the Ibizian goddess of femininity and power. Charlotte herself was raised between London and Ibiza so a lot of her makeup products reflect that, including her iconic cream and contour Beach Sticks. In particular the Beach Stick in Ibiza shade was inspired the ethereal light of the island itself.

Finally has slightly richer shades that make it wearable and flattering on those even up into the tan range. Reviewed this and it did show up beautifully on her, but she did make the disclaimer that it probably wouldn’t show well on anyone much darker than herself. I’m a few shades lighter, so I’m sure it would work out fine if I take the plunge. Charlotte Tilbury Gorgeous Glowing Beauty Instant Look in a Palette ($75.00 for 0.77 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that includes three eyeshadows, two cheek colors, one bronzer, and one highlighter. In a recent Instagram video, Tilbury explained that the wands, which offer various blush and highlight shades, are a “viral, sellout sensation,” for their ability to flatter and illuminate the complexion. Charlotte’s Hot Lips 2 lipstick in Glowing Jen is a universally-flattering, tawny, beachy rose in homage to Jennifer Aniston.

Except they don't allow you to use the full power of a large generator. It's like paying for something, but only being able to use half of it. Once you identify a good place to keep it, ensure that your extension cords are long enough. Whether you use a propane generator or it's powered by gasoline, ensure you store enough fuel.

Wiring the System

You can easily turn on and off various circuits to accommodate changing power needs. My retaining bolt was located between the main breakers and the 30 amp breaker. Remove the front cover from the power inlet box.Remove a knock out and attach the PVC fitting. You will want a generator that’s rated at about 5,000 to 7,500 watts in order to run the most critical household appliances and equipment. This includes things such as your lighting circuits, fridge, and your well pump. Additionally, you’ll be able to charge your cell phone and still be able to use your stove as well.

Introduction: Easy Generator to Home Hook Up

Wear rubber-soled shoes and use non-conductive tools when working near electrical systems. Never operate a generator in wet conditions; water conducts electricity and increases shock risk. Each wire is like a different path, ensuring electricity gets where it needs to go safely. It’s important to keep the generator dry to prevent electrocution. If the generator gets wet, disconnect it from the power source and allow it to dry completely before using it again.

So you got a new generator; here's how to use it.

Generators produce greater voltage than what the receptacle, electrical wire, and breaker can handle. Therefore, if you use a double male plug, you can easily start a fire. Because a portable generator can be moved, you can use it for many different applications. For example, the same Honda generator can power your home, tailgate party, and camping trip.

Extension Cords

This compact generator with a one-gallon tank and variety of outlets is safe to use to charge electronics. With 12,000 starting watts, this dual fuel generator can run on propane or electric and has an electric start and low-oil shut off. Finally, many generators are equipped with CO detectors that will shut the machine down before CO builds up to the point where it becomes deadly. Although a generator thus equipped is a little more expensive than one without the technology, it’s still a good idea.

Understanding Home Electrical Systems

This involves determining where you'll place it and where the cords will run through. Portable generators are an invaluable asset during emergencies. However, setting it up during a crisis is a hassle and adds to the risk. Chad and Rick are the father son team behind Generator Hero.

On the plug, you will see the amperage of the plug along with some codes. They will help you later on when it comes time to make connections. Another limitation is noise pollution; standby generators tend to be louder than portable options.

Having a transfer switch is mandatory in most states and jurisdictions. You will need to check with your local authorities regarding this matter to see if it’s necessary for you to have one. You are essentially choosing between a manual switch and an automatic one.

At this stage, you have a whole house generator and know where it'll be powering your house from. All that's left is setting the stage, so you won't have a lot of work to do when you need emergency power. We’d recommend contacting a certified electrician to help you with wiring and installing the interlock kit to your home correctly. When this happens, you don't have to stay in the dark without heating or cooling.

It also ensures that when utility power comes back on, the power won’t feed into your generator – which could damage the generator and start a fire. To connect your generator, you’ll run extension cords from the appliances you want to power to the generator. You’ll want to make sure the generator is a safe distance from your home, and of course, keep all doors and windows closed.

An interlock kit is another way to wire a generator to a house. It is a bit more complicated than an MTS but it has some advantages. No, you will not be able to power all of the same things, such as the air conditioner and kitchen appliances, as you would with a transfer switch. Foregoing a transfer switch means that you rely on extension wires which simply are not possible to use with air conditioners and other electrical household devices.

If you’ve found yourself without power for long periods of time, having a reliable power back-up source via a portable generator is your best option. While there are many ways to power up your home while off-grid, you have to be sure you connect your portable generator safely and correctly. This can be done with a transfer switch or a Generlink meter mounted transfer switch. While both can be costly to purchase and install, they are both relatively easy to install. Which one you choose it totally up to you, depending on your geographic location, budget and approval from your electrical service provider.

Once you have determined the plug type and amperage, you can get started. Depending on where you are located, you may not even be allowed to connect a generator without a transfer switch. Not every state or municipality allows for it, and you should by no means bypass a transfer switch if it is illegal where you live.

Instead, you’ll need a device known as a transfer switch to safely hook your generator up to your home. You will want to communicate with your electrician about your priorities for what you want to power. The electrician will assign those loads to the various circuits in the transfer switch. The “Automatic” transfer switch is also called a Universal Transfer Switch or UTS. The UTS will manage available power to whichever applications you set as a priority. This allows a smaller generator to power more critical appliances in your home.

Keep in mind that the hole that you drill must be able to fit the electrical wires. With its remote key fob and easy push-button start, you can safely run this generator up to 260 feet away from your home on gas or propane. When the lights go out, your planning and practice will pay off with safely generated home power.

Buying an emergency generator is a great first step in protecting your family from power failure. But, even the most diehard prepper cannot predict the next power outage. The first thing a homeowner must do to run a generator safely is to move it away from the home. Running a generator inside a garage or even close to a window can allow exhaust fumes containing carbon monoxide into the home, creating very dangerous conditions. Keep in mind that each of the supplies you buy to help with plugging the generator should match your generator and breaker's amperage. Hooking up a portable home generator is not the same as plugging other devices into sockets.

Simple Guide to Installing a Generator Hook-Up

• Install the Generator Interlock Kit
• Step 2: Determine Your Generator Plug Type and Amperage
• Step 4: Drill (or Find) Access Hole
• Step 7: Wire the Generator Inlet Plug

Heath uses a hole saw to cut through the shelves to run the conduit from the transferswitch to the exterior receptacle. Keep the generator at least three feet (one meter) away from buildings when the engine is running. The generator needs at least one meter of clearance on the top and all four sides for cooling.

Install the Generator Interlock Kit

Determine if the breaker is centrally positioned or placed to the right or left of the other switches. Measure the distance between the main and branch breakers. Record the amperage of the main breaker and the orientation of the switch so you can match an interlock kit’s specifications.

Step 2: Determine Your Generator Plug Type and Amperage

In this method, you will be connecting the generator directly to the house wiring. It is important to note that this method should only be used if the generator is rated for the same or higher voltage as the house wiring. The interlock kit is a bit more expensive than an MTS but it provides an extra layer of safety.

Step 4: Drill (or Find) Access Hole

A power inlet box is necessary to hook the generator up to the home. These devices are installed on the home’s exterior and feature a port that the homeowner can use to connect the generator to the home. These devices are weather-resistant, but power inlet boxes with bottom-mount inlets are the safest to use. The most important step in installing a transfer switch is identifying which circuits from your main circuit board will be moved onto the transfer switch’s circuits. This determination will depend on which appliances you want to run during a power outage and the size of your generator.

A transfer switch is the easiest and safest way to connect these items to the generator. However, you cannot power items like ceiling fans, overhead lights, or your furnace or hot water heater with extension cords. These items are wired into your home, so they don’t have a separate plug to connect to the extension cord. Extension cords are the easiest and least expensive option. If you only have occasional need for backup power, and you only want to power the basics, using extension cords is a good option.

If the power flows back into the utility grid, you could be criminally liable if linemen or workers are critically or fatally injured. A lower-cost, lower-tech option to link your portable generator to your home breaker box is to have an interlock switch installed. However, it is both illegal and extremely dangerous to have both main and generator power going into your home circuits simultaneously. As Upgraded Home explains, this can lead to electrocution of power-line workers, electrical fires in your home or wider neighborhood, and overloading the portable generator itself.

You won’t have to lift a finger; these generators turn on by themselves thanks to automatic transfer switches. If not connected properly, they can spark fires or leak carbon monoxide—a silent but deadly gas. Plus, you have to hire a pro for inlet box installation since DIY jobs could break codes and put everyone at risk.

How Do Portable Generators Work?

They kick in fast, keeping lights on and fridges running when the mains go down. Because they’re portable, you can move them where needed, from homes to campgrounds or construction sites. Your generator’s amperage rating should also line up with the transfer switch capacity to handle the load safely without causing any damage to your electrical system. Your home electrical system is like a network of roads that electricity travels on to get to your appliances and lights.

Extension Cords

Your Powerlite dealer will help you to choose one that works best with your power needs. A licensed electrician is recommended to install your transfer switch. Your local Honda dealer can often recommend a good electrician to help you with this. A transfer switch can also increase the usefulness of your generator.

Simply start your generator and connect it to the transfer switch. The UTS will automatically detect power and adjust the circuits as necessary. When power is restored, disconnect your generator and turn it off. If your state or county codes allow for it, you can connect a portable generator to your house without a transfer switch. However, without a transfer switch, you have an increased risk for electrical fire, and electrocution.

Use battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms for extra safety—they alert you if levels get too high inside the house. Now that your generator is plugged in and running, you need to make sure that it’s not overloaded. Look at the wattage of your appliances and make sure that they don’t exceed the generator’s wattage capabilities. If they do, you’ll need to either get a different generator or unplug some appliances. Master electrician Heath Eastman helps a homeowner install a generator transfer switch in his home. At DuroMax, we're committed to delivering the best portable generators to power homes and offices.

This system has several key parts, including the service panel, which houses circuit breakers or fuses. Per Honda, a transfer switch changes the flow of electricity from your home's electrical panel to your home generator. It aids with electricity management and makes it possible to power your entire home with the use of a portable generator when necessary. No matter what type of generator you have, always consult the owner's manual for detailed instructions and safety guidelines prior to operation. Under no circumstances should you plug a generator into a wall socket, known as backfeeding. If you go the transfer switch route, get a professional installation.

With a portable generator, you can restore your home's electric supply. This is why portable generators are a crucial element of most people's emergency preparedness plans. Manual transfer switches work much like a traditional breaker box. To turn one set of appliances on or off, you simply flip the corresponding breaker. Plugging a generator directly into a wall socket is known as backfeeding.

You should only consider this option if you are comfortable working with electrical circuits. On the other hand, portable generators require some work and planning. Since they're not permanently hooked to your house, you'll need to make the connection each time you want to use it. While the power grid is generally a reliable source of electricity, power outages often occur. This may be due to extreme weather events, short circuits, and issues with the transmission lines or substations. To be prepared for an outage ahead of time, it’s possible to leave your generator connected to the transfer switch all the time.

Because the generator requires regular maintenance, you will also want to factor in the cost for a maintenance contract. Installation typically takes a few hours, depending on the complexity of your system. Your electrician can advise you on these matters, or check with your local municipality regarding regulations near you. This helps you to use a smaller, less expensive generator to meet your power needs. It lets you use your generator more efficiently – with less effort on your part.

Instead, plan ahead and gather the equipment when there's no emergency. This will allow you to assess and determine the best generator for your needs. And there's a high chance you'll buy it at extremely high prices as other people will also be shopping for one. As you prepare to purchase a portable generator for home or office use, you must understand what it is. Aside from providing lighting, it also powers phones, entertainment devices, and key household elements.

Of course, all three of thoselots cost money, and that price can add up quickly. Free parking is available, but the trade-off isthat none of the free parking lots are within easy walking distance of theCruise Terminal. Parking here costs $17 perday, or $32 per day for oversized vehicles.

Finally, if you’re already planning to book a hotel room in Los Angeles for a night before or after your trip, choose one that offers a parking package. These hotels will allow you to leave your car in their parking lot, as long as you’ve booked a room with them. They’ll shuttle you to and from the cruise terminal, too. Just pay attention when booking- the parking isn’t free, and several hotels have a limit on how many days you can leave your car there. For shorter cruises, you likely won’t save any money this way (though it might still be more convenient), but for a weeklong cruise, it’s definitely a good choice.

Discover Egypt, ancient & modern

Many Bedouins have been affected by the advent of the 21st century, which is rapidly changing their age-old customs and nomadic lifestyle. As tourism and hotel projects continue to spring up along the Sinai coast, contact with Bedouins not involved in tourism is becoming increasingly rare. Once their nomadic life kept them on the move with their tents; today many Bedouins cultivate grain, vegetables and dates in addition to catering to the tourists. Sharm-el-Sheikh was initially developed by the Israelis during the Sinai occupation. Na'ama Bay, a short drive from the port, has grown from virtually nothing into a sizeable resort since the early 1980s.

Since the Aswan High Dam opened in 1971, the Nile River depth has been regulated, depending on the needs of navigation and irrigation. It generally doesn't face the same high- or low-water issues that sometimes affect Europe's rivers. So even in the hottest weather, you'll have smooth sailing. Luxury Nile River cruises have become a big part of the experience. The top luxury Nile River cruises are Uniworld, Viking, Sanctuary Retreats and Abercrombie & Kent.

Grand Egyptian Museum Trial Visit

The Late Roman Temple of Esna lies on the west bank of the Nile about 34 miles (55 kilometers) south of Luxor. Buried under debris for many centuries, the temple is just a short walk from the ship through the local market. It dates from the Ptolemaic and Roman period (180 BC to AD 251) and is one of the last Egyptian temples ever built.

Unfortunately, much of this monument has either eroded or been deliberately destroyed over the years. Some of its facial features are no longer intact, such as the beard and the nose—the latter of which was not shot off by Napoleon’s soldiers, as widely believed, but chiseled away many centuries earlier. A number of excavations in modern times have removed the sand that built up around the Sphinx over the centuries and kept much of it buried. Despite its timeworn condition, the Sphinx still kneels gracefully as it has for thousands of years, looking toward the east with an enigmatic smile. Hatshepsut, the most powerful female Pharaoh of all time, and the expansionist Thutmose the Great boast two of Ancient Egypt's most enduring legacies. They can also both be seen today on a tour of The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), amongst 18 other royal mummies displayed in the Hall of Mummies.
