Local Hotel Is Convenient For Bright House Networks Field

By Chris Matthews


Clearwater in Florida is one of the cities in the Tampa-Clearwater-St.Petersburg metropolitan area. The city, which is in Pinellas County, has just over 200,000 inhabitants. Tourism is important locally: the city has many miles of beaches, it is near to Tampa/St.Petersburg, and it hosts many annual festivals and events. Bright House Networks Field is the spring training home of the Philadelphia Phillies, and the year-round home of their affiliates, the Clearwater Threshers.

The Clearwater Threshers baseball team play in the Florida State League, in the West Division. The Threshers are a high-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. In fact the Threshers were at one time known as the Clearwater Phillies.

Since quitting the Jack Russell Memorial Stadium in 2004, the Threshers have played their home games at Bright House Field (or Bright House Networks Field). This stadium has seating for 7,000, but can accommodate an additional 1,500 on grass berm seating. Bright House Networks are a local cable company, and they paid 1.7 million dollars over ten years for naming rights to the stadium.

The stadium is the spring training base of the Philadelphia Phillies. It is their third base in the city of Clearwater. The highest attendance at the ground was for a training game between the Phillies and the New York Yankees, which was seen by 10,724 spectators. The record for a Clearwater Threshers match is 9,090. The opposition was provided by Lakeland Flying Tigers.

Clearwater can be reached via two major airports. Tampa International (TPE) is the most busy. It is mostly used by scheduled passenger services. St.Petersburg-Clearwater (PIE) is rather less busy, but passenger numbers are growing. Many services into St.Petersburg-Clearwater are run by low-cost and charter airlines.

Tourism is an important business in Clearwater. It is close to the major vacation destinations of Tampa Bay and St.Petersburg, and, with many miles of lovely beaches, it is a tourist center in its own right. The city hosts many annual events for tourists. These include a film festival, a Hispanic heritage festival, and a jazz festival.

Sunset at Pier 60 is a very popular event, which occurs for four hours around sunset every evening (starts two hours before sundown). There are live music concerts, street artists and performers, and many craft and souvenir stalls. Both local residents and visitors attend the event in large numbers, and it is completely free.

Visitors to Clearwater, FL and baseball fans who are watching the game at Bright House Networks Field may like to consider the Hampton Inn in Clearwater if they need overnight accommodation. The hotel's amenities include fitness center, outdoor pool, hot tub, a children's pool and playground, and a putting green.

Stock Paintball: What Makes a Stock Class Paintball Marker

By Jerry Manuel


Want to get into stock class paintball? This highly overlooked game format has been steadily rising in popularity as more and more players are looking for cheaper yet challenging ways to play the game they love. The shame lies in that few players will ever give it a chance, but since you are reading this article, you must realize how great this format is.

What makes a stock class paintball marker unique? A couple of stuff. In fact, let us discuss what makes it so unique below...

The most noticeable feature is the overall size of the marker. If you take a close look, you'll see that a stock class paintball marker is missing two parts you often find on a normal paintball gun. These 2 parts are the hopper and the air tank.

Without a massive hopper, and air tank, it is most certainly lighter. It also requires a different strategy when being used. One you will probably have to get used to. Could you handle the challenge?

In place of where a hopper would be, is a 12 to 20 round feed tube, that rests horizontally on the top of the guns body. Most often the feed tube is only 12 rounds, which is 198 shy of what most paintballers are used to hauling.

Being a tank-less marker, a stock class gun is powered by a 12 gram co2 cartridge, which can provide roughly 20 to 50 shots. With only 20 to 50 shots per cartridge, you better make sure every shot you make counts, otherwise your in for a lot of reloading.

If this sounds like a challenge you would like to take on, then get yourself a stock class paintball gun. It can challenge your skills in many more ways and turn you into a much more rounded player. One that thinks and moves like a pro, and hits exactly what he is aiming at.

Playing the Rental Game Leads to Car Sales

By Alex Sirutor


American companies, now very competitive overseas, have turned the competition among themselves into a sort of rental game. Since the beginning of the competition, Chrysler has been one of the most successful at rentals, probably because of their brilliant marketing techniques other manufacturers had not yet discovered. Cleverly, Chrysler played the game on two fronts. While they earned rental money based on their name and reputation, they also found a very unique additional way to market their cars at the same time. Now car rental agencies are faced with even more competition, and car rentals in general will never again be the same.

Chrysler's first bid for power came when it purchased three companies that specialized in car rentals, Thrifty Car Rental, General Car Rental, and Dollar Rent A Car. General Car Rental soon failed, but the other two companies quickly became cash cows for Chrysler in more ways than one.

Dollar Rent A Car, founded in Los Angeles in 1965, entered the business a little more slowly than the rest of the rental companies, but that didn't hold them back. The company took off like a rocket, and by the time Chrysler bought them, they had 350 locations in the United States, as well as 650 locations around the world. If you travel to major international cities, you will find friendly faces. You won't need to find a friendly face.

Because of their already achieved success, Chrysler chose to continue the name of Thrifty Car, because of its reliable quality, their well known brand, and in their airport recognition. The idea of "Thrifty" allowed them to merge with Chrysler in a unique way, coupling a well known luxury car with the idea of thrift. Chrysler, a brand known for its quality as well as its price, could then attract more than one type of customer.

Chrysler, a company proud of its Detroit heritage, its top of the line vehicles, and powerhouse business, makes it one of the most successful automobile companies in the United States. Though they did not take notice of Thrifty till 1990, their move was a stroke of genius. Expanding their Pentastar Group, Chrysler created a network of car rental companies that only carried Chrysler vehicles. Savy Chrysler business marketers recognized that if customers were pleased with Chrysler rental cars, they would be much more likely to come back when purchasing new personal cars.

Chrysler, a company already known for its quality vehicles, has managed to succeed better than other Detroit car companies at revamping its products. No doubt the ingenuity Chrysler is known for and their creativity in managing their company and finding new outlets for selling their cars will make them hard to beat. It makes one wonder what this bold, grand company will think of next.

Why Get Rental Car Insuranace?

By Abel Satiku


When you personally purchase a rental car, you must consider the important reasons for buying the insurance package. Unlike what some people think, your personal car insurance or other type of individually owned insurance might not protect the rental car. It might neither cover you or the rental agency.

When choosing a rental company, as well as the car you'd like to rent, check into the price of a car rental, and be sure to consider the total price, not just the flat fee for the car because the rental itself plus the rental insurance might add up to a hefty sum. You don't want any surprises we you receive the final bill.

Purchasing reliable rental insurance is important because accidents and mishaps happen to even the most experienced drivers, and it is convenient as well since the rental car agency can sell it to you right on the spot at the very same time when you receive your car. The well known rental companies, like Avis, Advantage, and Hertz should offer premium packages, a distinct advantage over local rental agencies that probably cannot afford the quality coverage. As you purchase your insurance for your car rental, you should assure yourself that it is not a waste of money. Rental Agencies sometimes do not make it clear to new customers by not quoting additional fees that the package includes more than just a daily or mileage flat fee. The insurance is figured separately.

Two major reasons for purchasing insurance for your car include coverage for yourself and coverage for the rental company as well. First, coverage for yourself is necessary because should you be involved in an accident in which you are at fault, the insurance will pick up the tab. Theft and vandalism that are not your fault are covered as well. In other words, you are protected against happenings that you cannot control, similarly to the normal way regular car insurance works.

The coverage for the rental agency includes two situations. If you have an at fault accident, or damage the car in any way, whether personally or intentionally, the rental insurance will see that the rental car agency is covered. Second, if the car has some kind of breakdown or is deficient in some way, the insurance company will actually replace the car. The coverage will be at least as good or better than what you have on you own car.

Although rental insurance might somehow seem like a waste of money since you are already paying for hefty, expensive insurance for your own car, reconsider because your own insurance may not be enough. Additional insurance might seem pricey when added to the daily charge for the rental car but it is a necessity.

Independent Cars Uniting As One

By Adam Surizuo


Natinonal Car Rental is a powerful group of what once were independent agencies. Because of their collective effort to support their cause to the customers, they were able to address more customer concerns than when they work on their own. From a small number, their members continued to exponentiate over the years. Similar agencies bought the idea because they think that joining the company would empower their individual cause as well. In only a few years, there were enough heads to cater to many tourists who come and go to different countries and avail their rental services.

How Did They Start?

There is no singular person to whom anyone can credit the success of the company, as they have been working as a group ever since. Because of their strong ties and unmovable unity, they have emerged to be one powerful whole and everyone seems to reap benefits out of it.

The company had a jump start in the year 1947 and twenty-four independent car companies were members then. None of these individual offices were owned or protected by a larger chain and everyone worked hard and in massive efforts. They became a strong network of companies that served the best interests of traveleers and tourists. Because of this continued work, they gained more customers and began to have a reputable name in the industry and throughout the country.

The original network started with a grand total of sixty locations, all of which amounted to owning eight hundred operating vehicles. Soon after, more individual agencies joined in the bandwagon. It was a rough start at first but it didn't take them long for everything else to fall into place and to finally click. They thought that being identified as one corporation would be a big help for their distinction, thus, the name National Car Rental was born in the year 1959.

The Leader In Many Ways

This agency is actually the first of its kind to offer a wide range of services. Because their number was one of their great strengths, their rental programs were very much anticipated and supported by rentees. As per historical record, their company is the first to offer the deal on one way rental. This deal means that a rentee can rent a vehicle in one location and drop the rented vehicle to another one of their location in a different town. Because it sounded so flexible, it clicked to the customers and most of them opted for this option.

This company also pioneered the use of computer systems to monitor their reservation system. Using the Telemax system, their record keeping was easier and more accurate. Customers and agency staffs alike need not to worry about lost slips as transactions are well kept in a database. True enough, this company was able to lead the way in many things as far as their competitive industry is concerned.
