			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> If you have recently taken a flight or plan to, chances are you have seen information on the air travel rules.  These rules include a wide variety of different topics, issues, and items; however, perhaps, one is more important than the rest. That air travel rule is the list of items that are prohibited from being taken on an airline, whether that ban only be for your carryon luggage or both your carryon luggage and checked baggage.  Unfortunately, there are some mistakes that are made.  If you, intentionally or not, forget to remove a prohibited item from your bags, do you know what will happen to you or to that item?</p>
<p> When it comes to prohibited items in airports, you will find that different consequences result.  These consequences tend to depend on the airport you are in, the airline you are flying with, as well as the item that you were trying to get through security checkpoints.  Essentially, if you were trying to sneak in a bottled water, the consequences would be far less than if you were trying to sneak in a gun, but there will still be consequences none the less.</p>
<p> The most common action taken, when it comes to trying to board an airplane with prohibited items, is that you will be pulled aside by airport security or other airport staff. All bags, including checked luggage, are usually checked with you nearby. This is done to help ensure that no prohibited items are found.  In the event that you are trying to store prohibited items, such as flammable objects, in your checked luggage, you will likely be asked to take the item to your car. In the event that you cannot, you may have to turn that item over to airport security.  The same can be said for prohibited items in your carryon luggage.</p>
<p> In most cases, you will be given an option as to what you want to do with your items. That is why it is advised that you arrive at the airport in advance.  Two hours early is often the recommended time. This will ensure that you are able to made additional accommodations, should you find that you are prohibited from taking some of your belongings aboard the airplane.  As previously mentioned, if you are unable to make accommodations for your belongings, you will have to turn them over to airport security.  If you are like most other travelers you may be curious as to what happens with those items.</p>
<p> The items confiscated by airport security and what happens to those items will all depend in the airport in question.  Each airport has their own way of dealing with confiscated items. It is not uncommon for these items to be taken, melted, and forever discarded; however, some airports are beginning to profit from the sale of prohibited items.  A number of airports have sold these items, ranging from tools to lighters to scissors, themselves or with the assistance of an auction seller.  Regardless of which action is taken, it is safe to say that you will no longer be able to recuperate your confiscated belongings.</p>
<p> Instead of just kissing your banned items goodbye, you will find that a number of airports have begun establishing onsite mail service centers.  These mail service centers are ideal for travelers who would be unable to make additional arrangements for their items, such as returning them to their vehicles.  With mail service centers, you will need to pay for the supplies, but you can easily have your items mailed to your home.  However, it is important to remember, that like all airports, the postal service also has a list of prohibited items. These items most commonly include flammable objects, such as lighters.</p>
<p> Although you have a number of different choices, when it comes to taking care of your items that are banned from going past airport security checkpoints, it is probably best if you just leave those items as home. Reviewing the list of banned items, before you start packing for your trip, is the best way to ensure that you are not left having to turn over some of your belongings to airport security.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Are you preparing to fly this year? Whether you are scheduling a business trip or a family vacation, there is a good chance that you will want to pack and take a number of your belongings with you.  Are you planning on bringing any items with you that are banned?  If so, you may want to rethink your decision.  As a traveler, you need to understand the importance of following air travel rules, including banned items.  </p>
<p> Before you can understand the importance of following air travel rules, you need to famialrize yourself with them. You can easily do this by contacting the airline or airport you plan on using.  In addition to contacting them directly, you should also be able to find helpful information, including common air travel rules, on their online websites. These online websites, along with other valuable information on air travel, can be found by performing a standard internet search.</p>
<p> In your search you will not only be able to obtain a list of all of the banned items, but you also will learn specific information on those bans and exceptions to them. For instance, all liquids are currently banned from being stored in your carryon luggage, but small amounts of baby formula, eye care drops, and prescribed medications are allowed.  In addition to information on items that are prohibited aboard an airplane or only allowed in certain plane areas, you can also learn more about the airport security screening process. This may include documents that you need to have handy, as well as the security checkpoints that you will have to go through.  </p>
<p> Once you have taken the time to familiarize yourself with many of the air travel rules, including those that were recently implemented, you should be able to have a pleasant experience at the airport, as well as aboard your airplane.  However, knowing the new rules of air travel simply isnt enough; you also need to follow them.  In fact, if you dont follow them you may be in for the shock or surprise of your life.  </p>
<p> When it comes to not following air travel rules or cooperating with airport security, you will find that there are a number of different consequences.  Perhaps, the most common consequence is that you will miss your flight.  If you are tied up with airport security, they are not required to hold your flight just for you; therefore you may be required to book a reservation on another flight.  In addition to missing your flight, there is a chance that you could be detained by airport security or local authorities.  </p>
<p> While it is possible to be detained by airport security or by local authorities, you will find that it is often a rare occurrence.  Most airport security incidents can be cleared up in a matter of minutes; however, there is still the chance that law enforcement could intervene.  When it comes to banned items aboard a plan, you will not necessarily be detained unless you try to sneak aboard an item that is dangerous or illegal, such as drugs, guns, bombs, or other weapons. In the event you just forgot to take your mascara out of your purse, you will likely just have it taken away from you.  </p>
<p> As previously mentioned, another air travel rule, aside from leaving prohibited items at home, involves airport security checkpoints. All passengers are required to go through the proper checkpoints and successfully pass through them, before being able to board an airplane.  Not only will you be required to hand over your carryon luggage bags, to be properly screened, but you will also be required to walk through a metal detector, as well as take off your shoes. All passengers, including children, need to follow these procedures. In the event that you refuse to, you will not be permitted to board your flight.  There is also a good chance that you will be detained by airport security or by local authorities.</p>
<p> Essentially, the worst that could happen is that you will be question by authorities; however, this question may lead to you missing your flight or being banned from flying altogether. Although you may not necessarily be a risk, airport security cannot be sure.  That is why they tend to overly cautious when it comes to air travel rule violations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Have you flown within the last year?  How about within the last month?  Even if you have, there is there is a good chance that things have changed since the last time that you were at the airport. While you may be thinking about the airport layout, it is actually the air travel rules that have likely changed. As more security issues arise, often on a daily or weekly basis, the airlines decide to enforce new travel rules.  In the event that these new enforcements do go into effect, do you know how to go about finding what they are?</p>
<p> Before you can learn to famialrize yourself with new air travel rules, if there are any, you will want to understand the benefits of learning those rules. Unfortunately, too many travelers are worried about having the proper forms of identification that they dont always worry about the items that they pack.  If you are one of those individuals, there is a good chance that you may, unintentionally, pack items that are prohibited past airport security checkpoints.  Depending on the prohibited item, you may be required to make additional accommodations, discard of the item, or turn it over to airport security.  </p>
<p> In addition to prohibited items, there are also new air travel rules that apply to security screening procedures. For instance, all air travelers are now required to remove their shoes. Your shoes will be scanned along with the rest of your carryon luggage. While this may pose an inconvenience, it is a requirement.  Failing to comply with this requirement, as well as others, may lead to you being detained by airport security or local authorities.  In addition to missing your flight, you may even face prosecution for your actions.  However, this can all be prevented by knowing and understanding the new air travel rules, as well as the old ones.</p>
<p> Perhaps, the best way to famialrize yourself with air travel rules is to go directly to the source. That source is the organization that makes and essentially enforces those rules, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). You can obtain valuable information from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), including information on air travel rules, by directly contacting them or by visiting their online website. That online website can be found at www.tsa.gov.  You are advised to fully examine this online website. You will find that it has a large amount of information that you need to know.</p>
<p> In addition to using the internet to examine the online website of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), you can also use it to perform a standard internet search.  By searching with the words new air travel rules, you should be provided with a number of different results. Those results are likely to include websites or news reports with information on air travel, including the rules that are enforced aboard all airplanes or in all airports.  When doing this, it is important to keep your source of information in mind.  A large number of websites with inaccurate, misleading, outdated information can be found online.</p>
<p> It may also be a good idea to contact the airline or airport that you plan on using. This contact can be made over the phone or the same information can easily be obtained online. Whether you visit the online website of a particular airline or airport or contact their representatives directly, you should be able to famialrize yourself with newly implemented air travel rules.  It is also advised that you contact each airline or airport directly because they tend to have different rules. Airport screening procedures may vary from one airport to another, as well as rules aboard particular airlines.  </p>
<p> With a small amount of time and research, you should easily be able to learn all of the rules of air travel, including the ones that were recently implemented.  Not only will doing so make your flight more pleasant, but it will help to reduce wait times and ensure that you will make it to your intended destination.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> If you like to surf or hit the waves, the infamous<br /> &#8220;Wedge&#8221; in Newport Beach is something you have to <br /> experience at least once in your lifetime.  Although<br /> The Wedge isn&#8217;t classified as a wave, it&#8217;s actually<br /> a 20 foot plus battering ram that was created by<br /> sheer intelligence.</p>
<p> The way it heaves, throws, and bends behaves in ways<br /> other waves can&#8217;t begin to comprehend.  If you look<br /> at it up close, you&#8217;ll notice that The Wedge is a <br /> combination of two waves that join together, resulting<br /> in a massive slingshot that is capable of sending <br /> anyone flying.</p>
<p> The Wedge takes a swell, but only for a few moments,<br /> retracting the swell energy from the jetty then <br /> smashing on the beach.  Though it may look like a <br /> &#8220;humping effect&#8221;, as the locals call it, the feel <br /> and look of it must be seen to be believed.</p>
<p> For many years, The Wedge in Newport Beach has proven<br /> to be the best place in the world for surfing.  Over<br /> the years, professional body boarders have headed<br /> here as well, to test their skill and experience<br /> with the one thing that&#8217;s very hard to top.</p>
<p> Deadly at all tides, the best time to show up at<br /> The Wedge is in the morning or late afternoon, as<br /> this is when the tide is at it&#8217;s best.  With sizes<br /> reaching between 6 and 20+ feet, you have to be on<br /> your toes before you even attempt to tame it.</p>
<p> If you plan to go surfing or body boarding here, you<br /> should also bring your camera, beach chair, swim fins,<br /> goggles, and insurance card!  It&#8217;s always best to be<br /> prepared, which makes the insurance card great to <br /> have - especially when you consider just how powerful<br /> The Wedge truly is.</p>
<p> The best time to visit The Wedge is the summer, as <br /> winter may be a bit cold.  As a beginner, The Wedge <br /> may be a bit too difficult.  If you have experience,<br /> you may even find it to be a bit psychotic.  At any<br /> rate, it&#8217;s a challenge you won&#8217;t soon forget.</p>
<p> Nearby, you have many places to eat, such as the <br /> Quick Fix and Worth The Wait.  There are also several<br /> places to stay as well, along with places to shop and<br /> enjoy yourself.</p>
<p> From surfing to sheer fun watching The Wedge pummel<br /> surfers, Newport Beach offers you everything you need<br /> to have an excellent stay.  If you enjoy surfing, you<br /> simply must visit The Wedge at least once and see<br /> if you have what it takes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> It&#8217;s no secret that finding a honeymoon location or<br /> a place to take your sweetheart is important.  With <br /> many places to choose from, you may be surprised to<br /> hear that Newport Beach is actually one of the most<br /> romantic - yet also one of the most overlooked areas<br /> in the entire United States.</p>

To show her that<br /> you care, you can even win her a stuffed animal - one<br /> thing that all females seem to love!</p>
<p> On the harbor of Newport Beach, a romantic gondola ride<br /> remains one of the most romantic things to do.  A gondola<br /> ride is great to relax, sitting back with one and another<br /> and enjoying the best of the beach.  Sometimes, nothing<br /> beats just enjoying the presence of one another and<br /> taking in some of the best sites that vision has to offer.</p>
<p> Once night begins to set in, nothing is more romantic <br /> than a trip to the Bayside Restaurant or the Aubergine,<br /> two of the most romantic restaurants in Orange County.  <br /> Both you and your partner will enjoy the setting here, as<br /> well as the food.</p>
<p> After you have enjoyed a romantic dinner, you can watch<br /> the sun rise on the beach.  Both sunrise and sunset is<br /> breathtaking at Newport Beach, something each and every <br /> couple should experience at least once in a lifetime.</p>
<p> Before you call it a trip, you should also make sure to<br /> get pampered at a local spa.  The spa&#8217;s around Newport<br /> Beach are exhiarating, something your whole body will <br /> find superb.  As a couple or a separate trip, a relaxing<br /> day at the spa is very hard to rival.</p>
<p> When it comes to a honeymoon or a trip as a couple, <br /> Newport Beach is one location you&#8217;ll remember the rest of<br /> your lives.  There is so much to do here as a couple, <br /> you&#8217;ll probably want to come back again and again.  As <br /> time goes by and you get older, you&#8217;ll find that Newport<br /> Beach is the perfect place to come back to - no matter<br /> where the road of life takes you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Do you enjoy participating in illegal activities, such as drug use? Although you shouldnt, it isnt recommended for your heath and not to mention its illegal, there are a large number of individuals who do. When it comes to drug use, whether it be marijuana, cocaine, or some illegally obtained prescription pills, there are many individuals who are addicted. Aside from being addicted, some individuals just like to take them, even though they probably could stop at any time.  If you are one of those individuals, there will likely come a point in time when you will need to travel, maybe even on airplane. If so, you are advised to proceed with caution.</p>
<p> In the recent years, airport security has drastically changed. Before September 11th, some airports only randomly screened baggage, but now they are always checked. Not only is baggage being checked for dangerous weapons, but it is also checked for illegal items, such as drugs. This means that the next time you plan on flying with a stash, you are advised against doing so. No matter how smart you are, there is a very good chance that you will get caught. Despite this chance, there are still many travelers who try.</p>
<p> The number one mistake that most individuals, make when flying with illegal drugs, is carry the drugs with them.  New airport rules have been established. Those rules require that all passengers need to take off their shoes.  Shoes will now be scanned with all other carryon bags. This means that if you plan on hiding something illegal in your shoes, whether it be drugs or not, you will be caught.  It is also advised that you do not carry anything illegal in your carryon bags.  In addition to being scanned though an x-ray machine, they may also be examined by airport security.</p>
<p> Since it is too risky to carry illegal items with them, many travelers make the decision to hide them in their checked baggage. While it may have been possible to successfully do this ten years ago, it is not anymore. Now, almost every airline searches through checked baggage.  If your bags are locked, there is a good chance that you will be asked to remove those locks. When it comes to checking checked baggage, there are two main types of searches that are done.  All bags will be thoroughly searched for anything out of the ordinary, but more intense searches are conducted randomly.</p>
<p> Do you know what the difference is between a traditional search and an intensive search? Instead of just shifting your items around, airport security will actually look through your entire bag. This may mean having every single one of your luggage compartments checked, the pockets of your clothing checked, as well all bags, including makeup bags.  In the event that you are randomly selected for one of these checks, there is virtually no way that you will make it to the next point, your airplane seat.</p>
<p> One of the many reasons why a traveler brings banned items, not to mention illegal items, on a flight is because they think that nothing would happen to them.  Now, if you are caught trying to bring a banned item onboard, such as a cigarette lighter, you may just have your item confiscated.  Additional actions may be taken, but for the most part, you will just receive a warning. However, there is a difference between just a banned item and a banned item, which is also illegal. That difference may mean more than having to miss your flight. In fact, it could mean jail time.  </p>
<p> In addition to illegal drugs, alcohol, which is considered legal if not consumed at the correct age, is prohibited on some airplanes. Most airlines have restrictions on alcohol, including checked baggage. In most cases, alcohol cannot be brought on the plane if it is more than 140 proof. When it doubt, it is best to verify the rules and restrictions with the airline you plan on flying with.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Throughout the vast state of California, Newport Beach <br /> remains one of the most overlooked cities.  The city <br /> of Newport Beach is actually a very charming island, <br /> with great beaches and a peninsula.  With all of it&#8217;s<br /> charms, it remains overlooked by tourists and those <br /> looking for an ideal vacation spot.</p>
<p> Lying cradled within the Balboa Peninsula, the seven <br /> islands that make up Newport Beach happen to have some <br /> of the most expensive real estate in California.  Many<br /> of the homes here are 1.5 million and up!  When you <br /> consider that many are surrounded by small yacht harbors<br /> and a peaceful yet tranquil environment, you know the <br /> price of the homes are more than well worth it.</p>
<p> If you live in California, you can find Newport Beach just<br /> off Pacific Coast Highway in beautiful Orange County.  Simply<br /> take CA 55 south from I-5 to Newport Blvd.  Or, you can <br /> also take CA 1 at Newport Blvd. After a short travel, the<br /> Newport Blvd. will turn into Balboa Blvd. and eventually<br /> take you down the middle of the island.</p>
<p> Whether you live in California or just outside of it, <br /> Newport Beach is one place you should visit.  Once you <br /> visit this overlooked treasure, you&#8217;ll probably find yourself<br /> wondering why you didn&#8217;t visit sooner.  Take our word <br /> for it - Newport Beach is simply &#8220;that good&#8221;.</p>
