Amazon Ecosight

It seems that when they show tribes living in the middle of nowhere on the Travel Channel, the people seem to have a more "true" happiness than the average person living in a city and working.

Yes, from studies I have seen in the past the more advanced our society becomes the more depressed we get, the less we start to focus on the important things such as relationships and family and more of the little things like work, money, television shows, having fancy things-nice cars, name brand clothes, ETC, causing us to focus more on work and losing sight with our peer relationships. They also have to work for everything they do and get, physical labor and activity releases endorphins, because they don’t focus on the american dream they have more time for people, loved ones, friends, and peer relationships. Nor do they have tv shows, commercials, and billboards to try to sell them products to make them beautiful so they never take the time to think about how ugly or fat or whatever they are, thus ensuring they have higher self esteem, and less depression/

I need to promote four (4) specialized products and I require advice from people with experience in online marketing and those people that are responsible for the area of promotion, marketing or sales of travel agencies and tourism companies that offer survival courses and cruises. This company is located in Iquitos, an exotic city in the middle of the Peruvian Amazon, one of the least explored and most bio-diverse area in the world. The products I have to help to promote are:

1. Training courses on survival in the Amazon jungle, for companies or adventure travelers.

2. Visits to remote indigenous communities that preserve their customs, for anyone interested.

3. Research or study trips in the Peruvian Amazon, for researchers, students and anyone interested.

4. Travel by river cruises along the Amazon river and tributaries or cruises in Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve (the largest reserve in the floodable Amazon jungle in South America).

These are quality products. The company respect and teach the travelers to respect the nature. They take medical help or supplies to river communities and indigenous tribes they visit. Trips are designed to understand the nature and their ecosystems.

This company works with professional and specialized staff as naturalists and, in case of survival training courses, with instructors of the Air Force.

The company weakness is the international promotion and that is my challenge.

I have had successful experiences in promoting hotels. But I never promoted this type of product. Therefore, I have several questions:

A. Where or in what ways should I promote these four products?

B. What websites, especially free of charge, you known to promote these products? In hotels, for example, there are sites like Tripadvisor and others.

C. Do you know websites and forums that are focused on "selling" the four travel products I have?

D. What social networks focused on these products are available? I know that there are Facebook, Twiter, Flirck, but, do you know any social network for adventure travelers or interested in this kind of trips?

E. I was considering using the Lonely Planet, Viajeros and Losviajeros forums. Do you know others forums or specialized forums? Regardless of language.

F. Does anyone could help me with the contact details of publishers of travel guides (Lonely, Frommers, Footprints, etc.)?

G. I was thinking in contact with TV and film producers or film makers to promote the services of the company and be a strategic partners for films in the Amazon. Where and how I may contact with big producers companies as Discovery, NatGeo, BBC, etc., and with small producers?

Do you have any other recommendation?

Social networking websites, communities and content hubs for travel, environment, training and similar:

http://socialmediaanswers.com/niche-social-networking-sites/

You’ll need to work down the list, as they’re ordered by niche.

Engage, interact, converse and listen. If you build a rapport on any of the sites or you feel ‘this is the place for us’ you may wish to consider purchasing advertising. Hope these help.

The only thing on Amazon is a 2nd bass pedle and a World Tour Drumkit.

1. Where do I buy one from (that doesnt include the game)
2. Will the World tour one work with GH:M?

1. Guitar Hero: Metallica didn’t come bundled with any specialized instruments (unlike The Beatles Rockband). Instead, it was only bundled with a splitter (for the kick pedal) and an additional kick pedal to allow you to play a double kick.

2. yes, the world tour drums work with it. About a year ago consoles made it mandatory that game developers come out with instruments that were compatible with any music game on that console - therefore any Guitar Hero or Rockband instrument will always be able to work on any current or future Guitar Hero or Rockband game.

Good morning!
i’m moving into a nice new apartment and I have two baby girls coming ahead.
I want something eco- friendly like this Bybo Design changing table:
http://decorbox.bg/blog/en/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/ergonomic-baby-changing-tables-by-bybo-011.jpg

For the babies room they’ll share, I want some pastel colors, peach, light pink, cream…
I want a room with a baroque-gone-modern type style and I want that in the living room and a baroque bathtub like this in the bathroom:
http://www.dekio.fr/var/deco/storage/custom/blogs/1/2/28.jpg

For the kitchen, I want colors like taupe and light blue with a hint of white and cream.
For the living room I would like a prune purple with green and a long modern-baroque table with see through chairs (I saw some somewhere)

Can you help me out with ideas, pics, websites…?

Thanks a bunch everyone!
I also love the Parisian apartment style with tall ceilings, mouldings….

Can you paint the apartment, or even change out the tub for that matter, probably not. Stick with window and floor treatments for the color.

I am purchasing a gift for someone online
http://www.amazon.com/Moose-Design-Antler-Lodge-Decor/dp/B001BCRJ8W/ref=sr_1_65?ie=UTF8&m=A3M7TJ4SZA1T6S&s=generic&qid=1259527713&sr=1-65
and i was trying to figure out what the item was made out of because i dont want it to be some cheap material, so i found out that it is made out of resin…i was doing some research and it seems like its some sort of plastic or something??? i just dont want the gift to look tacky…can anyone tell me exactly what type of material it is (is it better than your everyday type plastic?)
so its a type of wood? yeah i was reading something about it coming from plants…

Resins are found in tree sap as mentioned above, but the resins you are talking about are synthetic resins. There are hundreds of kinds, but basically they are dense, easily molded plastics. Both cheap curios and expensive works of art are molded from them, just like glass, so you have to look at more than what your gift is made of. The piece you provided a link to is certainly a cheap tourist piece, not a work of art. But that doesn’t mean someone wouldn’t like it. That would depend obviously upon the individual to whom you intend to give it.

I am thinking of purchasing a Lodge Logic 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet.

(http://www.amazon.com/Lodge-Logic-12-Inch-Pre-Seasoned-Skillet/dp/B00006JSUB/ref=pd_sim_hg_28)

Can it go in the dishwasher?

What are pros and cons of cast iron?

Will it fit in standard oven?

never, never, never put cast iron in the dishwasher. There is a seasoning (oil) that needs to stay on cast iron which helps it not stick and keeps it from rusting. A dishwasher uses detergents which will actively remove this coating.
In fact, there are disagreements over whether cast iron should be washed with soap or detergent at all. We just use hot water usually. Only once in a while do I use a little Dawn on the sponge.
And make sure you dry it right away or it’ll rust. Just put it on a low burner or in a warm oven ’til dry.
No matter how you decide to clean it, don’t let it air dry.
As to whether it’ll fit in the oven, yes. This one’s only 12" plus the handle. That’s the normal for a "larger" frying pan.

The care and upkeep is the drawback. They are also heavy. I suggest you go to Walmart and try to lift one if there is any reason that weight is a physical problem for you -arthritis is the only thing I can think of right now.

They cook beautifully. That is their main positive. The heat is evenly distributed. Just don’t cook on anything more than medium heat on the stove top. I’ve never used them in the oven, but I know they cook well in there too.
Once one is seasoned correctly and is kept seasoned (there should be instructions on how to do that), it’ll last generations- literally, I’m using my grandmother’s set and will pass them down to my sons if they want them- and maybe if they don’t. I’m not sure if my grandmother was the first in the family to use them or if they came down from someone else.

Hi, I want to download a couple of eyewitness travel guides to my laptop from www.ebooktravelguides.com - should I buy them direct from Dorkling Kindersley or via Amazon.com and download the kindle reader app?

I prefer to buy eyewitness travel guides from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D13%26ref_%3Dnb%5Fsb%5Fnoss%26y%3D26%26field-keywords%3DEyewitness%2520Travel%2520Guides%2520kindle%2520edition%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dstripbooks&tag=digitsy-marina-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

http://www.amazon.com/Lodge-11-2e25-22-Round-Grill-Pan/dp/B00006JSUD/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Is it better than use indoor electric grill? would it work fine at a gas range? beside the grill mark, would it taste different than regular pan?
is it true you don’t need to put oil on grill pan unlike regular pan?

Grill pans are awesome!!! Like any pan or grill, you should always spray it with some cooking spray so that your food doesn’t stick. Your food will definitely taste a lot better because you will get that char grilled taste.

The only thing about using these grill pans, is that you need to make sure your kitchen has a good ventilation. What I do is heat up the pan on high until it’s ready to go. Then I spray the pan put my meat on the grill pan and lower the temp to medium heat. This will help cook your food evenly and reduce to smoke if any.
