How To Refinish a Butcher Block Top Quickly

By Ryan Henders

Most often we move into a new house and find a built in butcher block top. At first, it looks great but on closer inspection, it doesn't look so good. Butcher blocks aren't something new on the market or even old fashion like from the 70?s. They go back hundreds of years. At that time, the favored wood was maple or various other types of hardwood. In today?s building of the butcher blocks, they are quite often made from imported hardwoods, which gives a bit more of a variety. It must be remember that years ago there wasn?t the equipment for slicing meat that we have today. Back in the good old days, it was a lot of arm work and a good cleaver that was used to cut the meats. So needless to say why a butcher block was in order.

In our modern kitchens today, we are far gentler with our butcher-block tops and in most cases, we opt to use a cutting board and leave the butcher block top for esthetic purposes.

You can restore your butcher block if is showing the worst for wear and tear. The first thing you need to do is sand it down. This will remove the other varnish and urethane that probably has begun to chip anyway. It depends on just how bad the condition of the butcher block is to determine the sanding techniques. If it?s very bad then start with an 80 grit sandpaper. Then each time you sand it reduce the grits. This mean each application of sanding is being used with finer sandpapers. The purpose of this is the heavy grit removes the gouges out of the wood but the finer sandpaper removes the scratches made from the previous sandpapers. It actually turns out to be a process of elimination.

One thing you need to remember though when you are sanding out all these gouges the top is going to become uneven with a lot of dips in it. The best thing is to leave some of the deeper gouges. Besides, it adds character to it.

Once you have your butcher block back in condition you need to treat it. Don?t use the urethanes and varnishes that are used on regular furniture. Instead use a good finish of food grade mineral oil. Don?t us your regular cooking oils because they spoil and leave a bad taste on the food. All you do is with the mineral oil is wipe it onto the surface of the butcher block and you will see it rapidly soak in. Keep doing this until the wood has become saturated then remove the excess. Ideally, this should be done one a month. Then ideally, to finish it off perfectly a good coat of beeswax is in order. The food grade mineral oil soaked into the wood but the beeswax will sit on top and give it added protection. It retards moisture and bacteria from getting into the wood surface.

The one thing you want to avoid is having your butcher block becoming too wet. They are made from wood so naturally the moisture is going to eventually break it down. If it becomes too moist the wood swells then the butcher block begins to swell then as it dries out it begins to crack. The same effects can occur from the wood drying out too much as well. - 24585

Where To Stay In Havana?

By Jose Garces

This is quite a frequent question I get from travelers interested in staying in Havana so I thought why not to publish my recommendations on the best hotels in Havana.

One of Havana?s best places to stay is the Old Town commonly known as Habana Vieja. This area has a wealth of heritage building which earned the title of World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984.

One of my favourite hotels in Havana has to be Santa Isabel Hotel located in the very place where Havana was founded almost 500 years ago. It is very cozy and intimate as it house only 27 rooms of which 4 are Junior Suites with beautiful terraces over looking Plaza de Armas.

I definitely recommend the junior suites at Saratoga Hotel as these ones do have balconies overlooking the streets of surrounding the Capitol of Havana ? an area that many consider the most interesting in terms of places o visit.

Parque Central Hotel also in the Old Town shares the top range of the tourist market together with Saratoga Hotel. Its fa?ade is not an architectural jewel but its beautiful lobby has been decorated following the colonial style guidelines. It also has a roof top swimming pool with fantastic views of the old town.

If you are looking for something cheaper but still you want to have a bit of comfort in your accommodation the why not try one of the 3 star hotels in the Old Town Such as Comendador, Beltran de Santa Cruz, Hostal Valencia or Park View Hotel.

This is it for today I hope to have given you a comprehensive list of the best hotels to stay in Havana. If you require further detailed information such as pictures, description, facilities and prices you can visit www.quest2cuba.co.uk - 24585

Vanuatu Dives

By Terence J Fisher

Santo diving offers great access to some of the world's best reefs and underwater caves, plus two of the world's most accessible shipwrecks. On the reefs, and in the underwater caves, you can see hundreds of colourful and interesting fish.

Great reef dives can be found around most of the Santo coast. Dive operators tend to stick to the south-east coast, the location of the wrecks of the SS President Coolidge and the USS Tucker and an area known as 'Million Dollar Point'. Wreck and reef diving is suitable for divers of any ability who have completed basic training.

The USS President Coolidge and the SS Tucker wreck dives lie just meters from the Vanuatu coastline, both highly accessible to anyone diving on the island of Santo. Both wrecks are American ships that during World War II.

The SS President Coolidge is a American luxury liner converted to a US troop ship during the second world war. It sank just meters from the shore and is generally considered the largest accessible wreck dive in the world, and the best dive in Santo. Novices can dive the main bulk of the ship, whereas more experienced divers can go deeper into the wreck to look at life on the inside.

The SS Tucker is an American destroyer stationed in Vanuatu during the second world war. It was accidently sunk by one of the USA's own mines, and now it too lies just offshore.

Diving the relatively shallow Million Dollar Point, divers can see huge areas of military war surplus that was simply dumped into the ocean when the Americans left Vanuatu at the end of the war. This Santo dive includes ammunition boxes, military vehicles and the odd bulldozer - items which make this one the most popular sites when diving in Santo. - 24585

Just Exactly What Is a Hybrid Golf Club Set?

What you get from a hybrid golf club set is a newer breed of clubs that is specifically designed to improve your golf game. Specifically, they are a blending of the strengths of traditional types of golf clubs. Generally, those two components of a golf club that are combined together are the shaft of the golf club and the head of the golf club.

So what you get with a hybrid golf clubs that is a club that makes use of a shorter shaft, and any golf head that is flatter and less bulgy. The resulting golf drive utilizing a hybrid golf club is usually more controlled which results in a longer and more accurate drive in distance.

Some things you need to compare are the materials that the clubs are made from, the different pitches and angles of the clubs, as well as whether they are left or a right handed set. You also need to make sure that you read up on the various user reviews that might be available. Also, another important comparison would be achieving the best price.

Food For Thought: The Avraham Karadi Sandwich

By Avraham Wiseman

Dont you just love bizarre sandwiches? You dont have to actually make them or even eat them at all, but for some reason its kind of nice to know that there are those who like such things! I mean, ever heard of a "St. Paul", which is apparently only available in St. Louis, Missouri, and only then in certain old-timey Chinese restaurants? Its a hunk of egg foo young on white bread with lettuce, tomato, and mayo " sometimes even a slice of American cheese! Or the chow mein sandwich, which apparently is a common menu item on Route 195 in southern Massachusetts " and not confined to Chinese restaurants! Others report having peanut butter-and-onion sandwiches, peanut butter-and-pickle sandwiches, or peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches with crushed potato chipsthere is no end to the variety of bizarre sandwiches out there!

Included in the list might be one of the most bizarre, the "Avraham Karadi" sandwich (A.K.A. Avi Karadi sandwich). It seems like it may have been created as a gourmet sandwich as it involves a tremendous amount of time and effort to gather and prepare the ingredients. I simply could not see anyone actually enjoying the resulting sandwich, but that's just me as there has been talk that it is popular in some locations. Here is the list of ingredients:

Passum, an ancient Roman sweet wine sauce, made by boiling the must (that is, newly-pressed whole fruits, including seeds, stems, and even leaves) and then adding honey to further thicken it.

Garum, an ancient Roman salty fish sauce, approximated today by combining passum with a fish paste and oregano.

Pine nut sauce, also an ancient Roman standby, made by combining vinegar, pine nuts, and honey, with some pepper and lovage.

Finally, spinach, onions, along with lettuce and tomatoes as desired, with rye bread being the usual, though black Russian bread seems to be a distant second favorite. Egg paste, such as found in egg salad, is sometimes used as well. Pastrami or roast beef are favorite meats to use. There are a few variations on the recipe, but they all use most of these ingredients. Curiously enough, I could not find out where the nickname of this sandwich, the "Avraham Karadi" or "Avi Karadi" came from.

Step One: Making the Passum: Reduce a quart of grape juice to one tenth its starting volume. You can add honey for taste.

Step Two: Making the Garum: Take the Passum and add two tablespoons of fish paste and a pinch of oregano.

Step Three: Making the pine nut sauce. You will need to soak the pine nuts for three hours in vinegar. Once completed you then want to blend it with honey and a few dashes of lovage and pepper.

Step Four: Building the sandwich. Spread egg paste on your rye bread (or your black Russian bread if that was your choice). Now add on the meat (Pastrami or Roast Beef) and add vegetables. Pour on the Passum, Garum, and Pine Nut Sauce as desired.

All done, enjoy your "Avraham Karadi" (aka "Avi Karadi") sandwich! - 24585

5 Ways To Create A Beautiful Garden With Shed Plans

By Ryan Henders

Years ago, garden decor used to consist of putting in some lovely flower gardens then setting up a small umbrella tables and few chairs to sit and relax in. This is far from the case now with most people no matter how small their back yard is. Many people have adopted to the fashion of extending your indoors to outdoors. So now, many living rooms for example flow out onto the patio with the couches, loveseats and most any other furniture you would find in the living room. This has called for more extensive grooming to the general architecture of the backyard itself. There are many things you can do to enhance the atmosphere that you have created here in your backyard.

Making little flower rooms in your garden is a wonder touch. It just means having pathways or walkways leading to various segments of your backyard that are little stand-alone areas. You can create these walkways with cobblestones or bricks. You can even use wood chips or stone. Build your walkway in accordance with the size of your workspace. If it?s small then go with smaller paths.

One of the newer additions to the garden is mirrors. These work extremely well if you have a very small backyard or one that has a lot of shade. You can position the mirror so it reflects sun to the shadowed areas. It also makes your flower gardens look twice as big. Be careful where you situate the mirrors though because they are breakable and you don?t want something hitting them during a storm perhaps.

A pond and or fountain add tranquility to your outdoors. There is nothing more soothing than the sound of water slowly running over some rocks. Then if you have a pond, you can consider having some gold fish in it to enjoy watching. In any event, you must keep the water treated so it doesn?t become stagnant and a breeding ground for mosquitoes. If maintained properly it?s no different than your swimming pool. You must keep the water clean. Once you have decided that a pond or fountain is a good idea you will find many simple plans for installing or building one.

Pergola?s trellis?s and garden gates all add to the d?cor of the yard and are added extras or final changes. They are magnificent when climbing roses are allowed to grow over them. You can once again build these yourself or buy kits that you just need to assemble.

In all likeliness, you are going to have to have a storage shed especially when you have a lot of garden tools. This is one area you do not what to skimp on the cost. You not only want one that is durable but you need one that is going to fit in with the ambience of your outdoor space. Be sure to choose something that is going to stay within the d?cor of the area where you will be placing it. Choose this place wisely. You want it easily accessible but not so, it stands out more than the rest of the garden d?cor. - 24585

How To Use Wide Panels For Woodworking

By Ryan Henders

How many times have you started a project then discovered that the wood you require is just not wide enough. Perhaps you are making a tabletop for example. Well you can actually make your own board. It's not all that time consuming or that much trouble. Basically, what you are going to be doing is simply gluing some smaller boards together to make one large piece. That's the basics but there are a few things you need to keep in mind when doing this to be successful.

All wood has some degree of movement to it. It shrinks and swells depending on what it is exposed to. In some cases, you are better ahead to use plywood.

To make your own large board you need to take the smaller boards and being sure they are perpendicular to the board facing you need to glue the edges of each board. Clamp them together tightly so they will bond.

You may want to use a power tool that will plane a smooth surface such as jointer. This is done after you have cut your boards with your power saw. If you are using a good saw blade, the cut maybe smooth enough and you won?t need to plane the edges. If you don?t have a jointer try using a router with a straight-piloted bit.

To create the illusion of it being one piece of wood arrange the colors as close as you can together and alternate the grain patterns. When it comes to choice of wood, you can use most of the hard and softwoods provided they have been kiln dried. It?s less likely to warp. Make your panel a couple of inches bigger so you can trim. Try not to use warped lumber. You can clamp it into place but it will most probably eventually weaken and bow.

The type of glue you use is important and polyurethane glue does a good job but it?s a little more difficult to work with. You don?t want it too thick although it has to be able to seep from the joint to properly bond. Check the expiration date on your glue as well. Just use enough glue to cover both the adjoining pieces. Remove the excess glue with a putty knife after it firms up.

You must clamp firmly but not over clamp because if you do you will cause the wood to bow. Place your clamps on alternating sides to help prevent this.

You want to do a dry run or layout of the boards first to see that they are going to fit properly and you are happy with the way the colors and grain work. Then you can if there is a problem with any of the edges correct these before you start with the glue.

You can use dowels if you want to reinforce the joints but it?s really not a necessity using a good glue is all you really should need. To achieve an even stronger bond cut in a glue join along the edges. - 24585

Goldfish Species

By Rotem Gavish

The goldfish is one of the most common coldwater species all over the world. They originated in Asia, Central Asia and China. In many countries all over the world people set up an aquarium just for these beautiful goldfishes. goldfish can be found in all sizes and colors .There are many fancy variants including the Red oranda Goldfish, shubunkin, ryukin, Lionhead, Calico Ryukin Goldfish and more.

The Pearlscale Goldfish foe example is one of the most popular goldfish species in Asia. Pearlscale Goldfish has an egg-shaped body. The main characteristic of the pearlscale is its thick arched scales which look like small pearls. It also found in many colors, blue, black, red, calico and even white red combinations. It can reach to a size of 8 inches (20cm) and like its entire group he is an omnivore. The Pearlscale Goldfish will accept flake and pellet foods, it is also recommended to include some vegetable matter and live or frozen foods. It is highly recommended to feed them with goldfish flakes and goldfish pellets.

The Pearlscale Goldfish is very adaptable species that tolerates a wide range of water conditions. Like the entire goldfish group this species will thrive in coldwater aquariums and tolerate a wide range of temperatures from 2c to 30c. Goldfish have the same diseases as tropical fish, the most common diseases are: ich, bladder disease and external parasites including flukes so pay attention to your fish and look for this diseases .To prevent these diseases from happening keep the right temp especially when you perform water changes and make sure to have suitable filtration system. Pearlscale Goldfish are easy to breed, this species breed in the early morning. The female will scatter her eggs on the plants, rocks or the substrate; afterwards the male will fertilize these eggs. The fry hatch after 3-5 days and need to be feed with small foods such as cyclops or fry foods. It is recommended to remove parents once the eggs are layed, or the eggs will be eaten.

Another common goldfish species is the Black Moor. The Black Moor Goldfish is an astonishing member of the Cyprinidae family,it is the black variety of the well known Telescope Goldfish. The main difference between the black moor and the telescope goldfish are the eyes. The black moor eyes are less protruding than the Telescope goldfish. Like all goldfish the black moor is a member of the carp group and is generally a quite hardy species. Black Moor Goldfish are suitable for indoor aquariums, and not to all kinds of outdoor goldfish ponds. Like all goldfish they can tolerate very cold water temperatures so they are ideal for ponds that dont freeze in winter.

The Black Moor Goldfish will prosper in a 25 gallon or larger tanks with a fine gravel or sand bottom and hardy plants, it is known as plant eater so it is recommended to use only hardy plants such as Echinodorus species, Microsorium and Anubias species. When we decorate its tank we should think of its sensitive and delicate eyes and protect them from sharp decoration. The Black Moor gets along with other fish in a coldwater community fish tank and if kept with other goldfish it will school with them. It is also easy to breed. Males are usually thinner then females. They may exhibit breeding spots on their heads and flanks during the spawning season. Gradually increase the temperature to 72 degrees F. Provide soft vegetation or a spawning mops, and excellent water quality. Recommended to remove parents once the eggs are layed, otherwise they will eat their own eggs. A mature pair may produce over 1,000 eggs which will hatch after 3-5 days. The fry are easy to feed on small live foods or on liquid fry foods available in any pet store.

The Ranchu goldfish is maybe the most expensive goldfish species. It is known as the "King" of the goldfish. The Ranchu Goldfish is very similar to the Lionhead Goldfish but unlike the Lionhead it has a magnificent short, round body and short fins with no dorsal fin. It also has an amazing pinched tail fin which is at 45 degrees, to its body. The Ranchu was created in china during the Meiji Period but it was the Japanese whom created the Ranchu's we know today. Ranchus known to be very friendly species and some fish keepers are able to pet their Ranchus and even to train them to do some tricks. The Ranchu Goldfish come in a variety of colors, gold/white, orange/red, orange/white, white/red and a calico. Ranchu is a highly prized and sought after goldfish especially in Japan but also in America and Europe.

The Ranchu Goldfish is fit for for ponds more then to fish tanks but if you provide him enough space it can be kept in fish tank. The Ranchu is best kept with other goldfish or large coldwater species due to the fact that it is coldwater fish so do not mix it with tropical fish as it requires a less temperature than tropical fish. Ranchu Goldfish are notoriously filthy, producing much waste, frequent water changes and good filtration system is essential. Unfortunately little is known about its breeding behavior. it has same diseases as tropical fish, the most common diseases are: ich, bladder disease and external parasites including flukes so pay attention to your fish and look for this diseases. it is known as plant eater so it is recommended to use only hardy plants such as Echinodorus species, Microsorium and Anubias species. - 24585

Making your Craft Work for You

By Ian Kleine

Sure, you have the tools and the finances needed to start your very own business, but what business will you start? You often hear the terms "You should do what you love and do what you do best" or "Be in the know with what you're doing, and do it for the sake of craft, and not for money". Well, let me tell you something, the world is a bit more complicated than that which can be explained by a few quotes.

With the argument of doing something you like versus it's profitability; let us take the universal truth, most people do not need trinkets and baubles. Perhaps if they have the money to spare, of if they have something they truly love; then they will spend money on it.

Unless your craft includes valued stones and gems (which are all good investments for the future), most people will not give in their money for something that would be seldom used or moderately valuable stuff. In any case, think as to the value and what your product can give to people. Educate and elucidate the use and practicality of your item in order to coax them to buy.

Belief and practicality are different. Your terms of people will buy this, is different from what actual people need. If the mass doesn't need, or doesn't like your product, don't force it. Simply look for other markets that will readily accept your products. Forcing it will merely provoke reports of unintentional harassment in their part and yours.

When you do find your calling, give it your very best, like your business depends on it. Because it does! Improve upon your trade and give people the aura that it's a good investment. And prove that it is a very good business to settle on. Create networks and socialize to enforce your craft. - 24585

Visiting Bulgaria

By Graham McKenzie

Situated on the southeastern side of the European continent, the country of Bulgaria is slowly gaining popularity as one of the prime tourist destinations in the world. A country known for its rich cultural heritage, pristine beaches and picturesque landscapes, the country of Bulgaria offers travelers a unique and great alternative from the usual countries tourists go to in Europe. The country is located along the Balkan Peninsula and opens to the Black Sea which borders the country on the eastside.

Bulgaria is a land known for its rich cultural and historical heritage, pristine beaches, and captivating landscapes. To get the most out of your trip here in Bulgaria, especially if this is your first time to visit the country, here are just some tips that would be useful for you.

The country of Bulgaria has a temperate climate. This is partly due to the various mountain ranges that could be found all over the country as well as its close proximity to the Black Sea. This being said, travelers heading to the country of Bulgaria should come prepared.

All travelers to Bulgaria are required to present a valid passport with its expiration date at least six months from the time that you leave Bulgaria and return to your home country. If your passport is going to expire within the same year that you would be making a trip to Bulgaria, it is a good idea to get your passport renewed first before making your travel arrangements to avoid any potential problems the moment you get there to Bulgaria.

Bulgaria takes pride in its rich cultural and historical heritage. In fact, Bulgaria is home to nine different UNESCO World Heritage Sites, all of which are top tourist destinations in the country. Each of these heritage sites offers travelers a unique glimpse of a particular aspect of the rich culture of the country. One of the most visited UNESCO World Heritage Sites visited in Bulgaria is the Madara Rider located on the Madara Plateau.

It is important to make sure that before you travel to Bulgaria, you bring along a copy of your itinerary which not only show how long you would be staying in Bulgaria but also your accommodations in Bulgaria as well. Immigration officers would require you to submit this to the local police as soon as you arrive in your country to prevent any possibility of overstaying in the country.

Despite the fact that Bulgaria is just starting to make its mark as a prime tourist destination in Europe, travelers visiting the country would not need to worry about where to stay during their trip to this beautiful country. Travelers can choose from a wide variety of accommodations all over the country. From 5-star hotels to private lodgings and hostels, travelers are guaranteed to find one that would meet their budget.

It is a good idea to try visiting online travel agencies when looking where to stay in Bulgaria. Many of these online travel agencies would offer some discounted rates which are not available if you make the reservations directly with the hotel. - 24585

These NFL Excited Fans All Year Round

By Denise I Smithson

The single most important sport with American fans, the NFL is alone among sports in being able to not only command the attention of the vast majority of US fans, but to hold their attention year-round, even during the off season. From the Super Bowl to the first of the preseason games, the NFL keeps fans interested.

While all of the professional sports have player drafts, the NFL draft is the only of them which draws a significant television audience. The NFL draft is the object of speculation for months before it begins each April. There are guesses made about which players will be drafted by which team, which of the NFL franchises will come away from the draft the strongest team, what coups and disappointments will happen and so on.

Once the Super Bowl is over, the NFL (and its fans) begin getting ready for the draft; this is when players announce free agency and this keeps the NFL in the news during its off season. Even when there are months before any more games will be played, fans are glued to the latest news about the league.

It is amazing that during a time of the year when the NHL and the NBA are getting ready for the playoffs, the NFL's draft is the most important sporting event. Baseball just had opening day and is in the beginning of a new season, but the draft overshadows it. The NFL doesn't even have to hold games to be the center of the attention, it's truly a phenomenon.

Once the training camps open in the summer, fans begin to watch and discuss how the teams are preparing for the upcoming season and the player's attitudes towards their teams. Fans also begin to discuss which players will end up in the coveted starter spots for the season.

Even the preseason games get broadcast on national television. Preseason games with second and third string players getting time actually get high ratings. Can you imagine a primetime spot for any other preseason game? A preseason hockey scrimmage? An NBA Developmental League game? Anything else? Only the NFL could pull it off, and it's a testament to its immense popularity.

Once the season proper begins, the excitement builds week after week. With only 16 weeks in the regular season, each game takes on great importance. The NFL is popular enough that the league is discussing the possibility of lengthening the season, something which fans are eager to see - but regardless, the closer the arrival of the postseason, the greater the excitement of fans and the higher the viewership.

NFL fans are a dedicated group; all year round, they're keeping a close eye on the sport. Casual viewers who catch only a handful of games per season are often largely unaware of the latest developments or indeed, all of the players on their favorite team. During the off season from the draft to training, the NFL is a sport which keeps the attention of fans; the only sport which is this popular all year. - 24585

The Early Years Of Van Morrison, In To The Mystic

By Violet Demora Sadie Greene Hamish Jones Richard Minge Robert Smith David Deane

Born in Belfast in the 1945, in Northern Ireland George Ivan Morrison was an only child. His father George was a ship worker, and mother Violet a housewife, and a competent tap dancer and entertainer in her youth. Fortuitously, his father had acquired a large record collection during a trip to the United States and Van grew up listening to blues artists such as Ray Charles and Leadbelly who were to influence his style later in life.

A critically acclaimed singer and songwriter he is renowned for being stubborn, and often gives astounding live performances. The studio albums Astral Weeks and Moondance are frequently rated as being some of the best albums ever made.

When he was eleven, his father bought him his first acoustic guitar and learned a few basic chords from a teach yourself book and it was clear that he had an aptitude for music. Van started performing in the late 1950s having become competent on the harmonica, guitar, keyboards, and saxophone and has already honed his trade in a number of cover bands playing the latest tunes of the era.

His first band was known as "The Sputniks" after the Russian satellite and in 1958, the band started to play small venues with Morrison taking the lead with his bluesy rich voice and making organizing most of the arranging.

Morrison left school in 1960 with no qualifications. As a member of a working-class community, it was expected that he would get a regular full-time job, so after several short apprenticeship positions, he settled into a job as a window cleaner" later alluded to in his songs, "Cleaning Windows" and "Saint Dominic's Preview". However, he had been developing his musical interests from an early age and continued playing with the Monarchs part-time. Young Morrison also played with the Harry Mack Showband, the Great Eight, with his older workplace friend, Geordie Sproule whom he later named as one of his biggest influences.

He toured Europe for the first time with the International Monarchs at seventeen, with Morrison playing saxophone, guitar and harmonica, and bass and drums as required, touring clubs and Army bases in Scotland, England, and Germany, often playing five sets a night. The band cut a single, which was Morrison's first recording at Ariola Studios in Cologne. He played saxophone and it just crept in to the German charts.

In the mid-1960s he was the lead singer with Them and recorded the classic "Gloria", one of the favorites in his sets. When he returned to Belfast the group disbanded and he began his solo career.

While being managed by Bert Berns, Van Morrison released the hit single "Brown Eyed Girl" in 1967. Warner Brothers bought out his contract shortly after due to the death of his manager. He recorded Astral Weeks in 1968 which was critically acclaimed, but sales were initially poor, although it has now grown to become an all-time classic. The album established him as a major recording artist, and throughout the 1970s he built his reputation. Van Morrison continues to tour, record and collaborate with other artists, producing albums and live performances that are well received, returning to live performances of Astral Weeks in 2008 and in to 2009.

Morrison has received much acclaim including six Grammy Awards, being inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and appearing on several "Greatest Artists" lists. - 24585

Swimwear Selections ARE Important

By David Wittlinger

There are several important things to think about when choosing ladies swimwear. Unless you simply love the retro look, you want to be sure that the style matches current trends, and you want to be sure that the cut looks good on you. Therefore, when you are shopping for swimwear clothing, you want to be sure you are doing so thoughtfully.

When looking for ladies swimwear you should try to focus on the various styles that are popular right now. This doesn't mean that you have to spend a large sum of money on designer swimwear, but it means that the suit you choose should be current.

It is possible to buy a suit that is timeless and will hold up for a few years, without looking or feeling like it has become outdated. Brands that are durable enough to last you a few years are what you want to consider when shopping for your swimwear.

What type of suit you should get to look the most attractive is the biggest dilemma most women face. Two pieces or one piece ladies swimwear is always a question asked by the women that have the figure to carry off either choice. Whether you want to show your belly or not is the question because both styles have plenty of fashionable styles to choose from.

The suit type that is most flattering for your figure is what you should be looking for. A bikini is often selected when a woman has a flat stomach and shapely figure, but even some of them will opt for a one piece suit for modesty purposes.

Focusing on which type of suit looks best on your body is always the most important factor. A one piece suit is often going to look more flatting than a bikini on women larger mid-sections. However, a woman with flat belly might look comfortable in either, for example.

When it comes to swimwear clothing like bikinis or one pieces, it is often most important to pre-determine which design and appearance you're striving for before you begin to shop. Picture yourself at the beach or pool, how you would look in a particular suit, and how you imagine you'll be seen.

Of course, men have fewer selections in swimwear, but should also consider their physique when choosing swimwear. Unless the guy is participating in a swim competition, most men feel comfortable in board shorts or baggier swimwear. This fashion style is what you will see most men at the beaches and pools wearing.

Ultimately, find the style that you feel comfortable wearing and that is the swimsuit you should own. Focusing on a fun day at the beach is much easier if you are comfortable in the swimwear you have selected. - 24585

About the Author:

David Wittlinger is the first to admit that he has found his passion, which is resarching and selling ladies bikini clothing. Perhaps his actual distance from any real beach is the driving force (David currently resides in Colorado) but he has been happy and content to own and manage his online swimwear clothing store.

Strategic Generosity

By Ian Kleine

Most of the time, people in craft fairs would find it wonderful and simply mind boggling to hang around your booth or your table if you give out freebies in some form or another. Freebies come from the word "free" and by free, it means a no-contract or strings attached form of some deal. Nothing in this world is ever free, which is why the concept of freebies would always attract people no matter how trivial or small it may seem.

Free items do not need to be very expensive, very large, or very big. At the most, the freebie should be part of your products. For example, if you are into the wood works industry, perhaps a small statuette, or maybe a paperweight would be a suitable freebie for your booth.

Don't forget that you also need to have your name (or your company's name) in the product's face. At least, when they look back, they would know the company (or the person) that gave them that particular freebie. Perhaps try and recruit a friend as well through that form of advertisement.

Food industry freebies often come by with using samplers. These are small tidbits of food, usually served cocktail style and laid out in trays for the masses to take one and eat. You would be more familiar with samplers if you visit your local grocery more often and notice the free food on toothpicks that they serve. It's certainly a crowd drawer, right?

Make sure to have your name out in catchy and bright colors, to attract attention (unless the over all theme of your booth is supposed to be dark, then go otherwise). And make sure to give your best when it comes to freebies. Those items will be like your business card, your first impression as well. If your first impression doesn't give a good flavor to the audience, the freebies worth becomes nil. - 24585

The Secret Thrill of Craft Fairs

By Rick Amorey

It?s been a long time since I did it. Yes, I told myself back then that it was a silly hobby, an occupation that really does not reward myself. I have now acknowledged that I was just lying to myself; I was trying to find an excuse to stop devoting time to something that I loved doing, and for what? It was all in an attempt to give myself more time for a work that I barely enjoyed.

Our lives are spent in the modern world, and finding something that you love to do and earning money for it is a rare pleasure. Many people just opt to go for jobs that they are capable of doing even if they borderline detest the tasks that they do because of that. It is true that most hobbies pay negligible sums, if at all. This is all interesting for me; in my case, you see, earning for what I?m doing is not exactly farfetched.

There was a time when I liked to venture into craftsmaking; I am a woodworker, in particular. To me, there?s just something that can be had with the natural beauty of wood. Whenever my muse is around the corner, I find that I can cut, carve, or glue them to whatever shape my mind imagines.

Now back to my story. Up until a short time ago, I preferred the mundanely repetitive task of my job. But then the financial crisis arrived in force, and just as a precaution, I began exploring other ways of earning extra cash.

So I began to surf online, and I discovered that there were literally thousands of craft fairs in our country each year. All I had to do was go to a site that listed all events, apply some filters, and there you go! I could find the ones in my area easily. It was then just a matter of choosing the right one.

I have been going to these fairs and festivals for quite some time now, and I must say that I have mostly enjoyed the ride. Like many business ventures, sales are not always good. But all in all, my experience has been positive. And of course, who doesn't like the extra income? - 24585

Cheese Handling

By Ian Kleine

Cheese, as hardy and tough as it seems to be, is still food. It is delicate. It needs its own space, and it needs its own ways of caring for it, storing it and serving it. From when the cheese is delivered to the shop for display and service, the customer should know proper choosing and handling of cheese to promote storage longevity and maximum preservation of taste, nutrients, consistency, aroma and overall appearance.

When choosing cheese from a store, always look for one thing first before even considering to select that particular wheel, or block, or even a slice of cheese. Look for the Wisconsin Cheese ID. Wisconson Cheese quality assurance only stamps the WCID to cheeses that have passed their requirements and their rigorous tests to assure you that you get the best of the best quality cheeses the state has to offer. The eye can be a good judge too. Make sure that when selecting cheese, it should look fresh, clean and as much as possible, have little cracks. Cracks are a sign that the cheese has been exposed too long in the air (dried out) and indicates the gradual loss of cheesy freshness.

There are the three C's when it comes to handling cheese that has been bought and brought home. Clean, Cover, and Cold. Clean: make sure that the cheese is wrapped well and kept away from other foods, especially aromatic ones like onions, apples, dried fish, etc. Cheese, like a sponge, is very absorbent with other food's smells and this may influence your taste if you eat the cheese (half of eating cheese is through aroma).

Cover: make sure to keep cheese away from as much air exposure as possible. Cheese turns hard and rancid if left out in the open too much. Hard cheeses like Parmesan and Mozzarella, should be kept in plastic wrap at all times to prevent drying out. Soft cheeses, in air-tight plastic containers for longer shelf life and smoother texture, as compared to leaving it out. Store in cool places as well, to discourage bacterial growth. Semi-hard cheese would depend but will go well with parchment or even with its original wrapping.

Finally, cold: if planning to refrigerate cheese (though not strongly encouraged), keep temperatures between 34 to 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Cheeses really don't do well with too much coldness. - 24585

Read This Before You Charter Flights Anywhere

By Sam Jeffresson

Are you familiar with the old saying that you can always make a little extra money but are unable to make more time? This is true for many people as the essence of their life is time and they cannot do what is needed to make more of it. As such, they will spend a great deal of money with the goal of acquiring their time back! This is why so many people will look towards chartered flights as they can definitely save time.

Those that take chartered planes into consideration may first assume that these planes are small and unassuming. This is not an accurate assessment as the planes are not all comprised of small, mini-planes. In reality, there is a great luxury to be found working with chartered planes and they comprise a truly luxurious experience. And, in addition to this great luxury, the ability to properly manage time is achievable.

One important aspect that you can take a look at when it comes to chartered flights is that you are going to be able to go almost anywhere in the world and you'll be able to do it when you need to do it. For instance, if you have a million dollar deal coming up, you will find that securing it might mean that you have to be across the county in a matter of hours. When you have a chartered plane, that's easy!

One of the main problems people face when taking regular flights for business can come with a number of enormous hassles. The individuals that wish to book the flights also have to pack up their belongings, lug them into the general check in area, and, on top of it all, the person will need to do all this around the flight plans of the airline. Often, this will necessitate having to arrive at the airport over two hours in advance.

Another thing that you will notice is that the major airlines, no matter how good they are, will seldom be able to accommodate your needs with one flight. Instead you are going to be cooling your heels over a number of different layovers. With a chartered flight, you can avoid a lot of that, especially if you are traveling domestically.

What you need to think about s that the commercial airlines in the world tend to have access to roughly 500 airports around the globe. Take into account the fact that there are more than 13000 airports worldwide and you'll see why traveling can be such a pain.

For many, exploring charter flights is one of the better ways to circumvent a number of problems. Excess regulation is definitely a problem many in the airline industry must deal with. Those that fly on chartered flights will not have to deal with such problems. And, no, the lack of regulations does not undermine the safety of the venture as well. It actually makes for a much smoother trip.

That is why it is recommended to sit back and consider available options when it comes to booking chartered flights. This will yield the results you are looking for. - 24585

Bicycle Dog Carrier For Your Dog

By Bicycle Dog Carrier

The best model of bicycle dog carrier is mounted in front of the bike. Pet owners like to take the dog along and dogs love the outings. Some dog seats are specifically built for dogs with a taller edge, but you dont really need to buy a bicycle dog carrier to carry your dog. If your dog is a smaller breed, a bigger box will do, but make sure to put lots of blankets in there to make your dog comfy.

When you have a pet on the bike, always ride gently, and choose a smoother path to ride. Dont abruptly change directions to throw the dog off, although your dog will get adapted to a bicycle dog carrier the more they get to ride along. Turn your radio volume lower if you have one, since your dogs ears are more sensitive to sounds than human ears.

I always suggest dog lovers to get the dog carriers that are mounted on the front instead of those mounted on the back. You need to keep an eye on your dog and on the road, at the same time. The back mounted carriers makes it dangerous to check on your dog while riding your bicycle.

If you have a small pet, they sell bicycle dog carrier baskets that have a sunshade and mount on your handlebars. For larger dogs, it is hard to beat the look of your dog holding his head high riding in the trailer style front mounted model bicycle dog carrier. He almost acts like he thinks hes in control.

You can find a bicycle dog carrier in different styles. Most of the ones on the Internet or in the retail stores are under $100 and well worth the expense if you like to take your pet along with you on your bike rides. They last quite awhile, and a dog gets to where they really look forward to going for a ride when they see you get the bicycle out.

The feeling of walking your dog when you are riding your bicycle is so great that you should give a try. Thanks to bicycle dog carrier, you and your dog will enjoy this wonderful experience safely. - 24585

Make Your Camping Trip A Success

By Nik Levesque

When you are planning on going on a camping trip you definitely need to make sure that you have planned ahead of time. Forgetting just one essential item can certainly make or break a time outdoors with the tress and elements.

Now, what if you do not know exactly what to bring with you? Maybe you are more used to going to motels and hotels and camping is still fairly new to you. Well, here is a good list to start from and make yourself prepared for the fun that you will have in the great outdoors.

The first thing to remember to include is a good tent for a decent night's sleep. This will not only provide you with some shelter, it will also make a place for you to store some of your other stuff to keep it dry in case it rains.

One rewarding experience when camping is cooking and enjoying different camp foods. There are many different types of camping stoves that are easy to transport and set up. Make sure you bring the food along too and plenty of water!

Sometimes, you may want to bring an air mattress or some kind of camping bed with you to make sleeping more comfortable. There are also folding portable beds that can be bought at fairly reasonable prices.

For times when you may find yourself injured, make sure to be prepared with a good first aid kit that is equipped with all the essentials. You never know when you might need it.

Finally, other little small things like candles, matches, flashlights, a knife, rope, a tarp and other things is always a good idea too. Any small item that you can think of that you might need can be easily put into a small kit to bring with you on every camping trip.

Enjoy camping! - 24585

Buy The Right Temperature Sleeping Bag

By Dale Gatehouse

Is it time to buy a new sleeping bag? If so, I strongly recommend that you take into account the temperature ranges most sleeping bags have available and buy accordingly. Check a few weather forecasts of where you are going to get an idea of what to expect, then buy a sleeping bag that works to 20 degrees below that.

A couple of years ago, I was preparing for a 2 day boat trip to the 1000 Islands. After shopping around all Summer, my husband and I found a boat in late October which suited our needs. We decided to drive the boat back home down river rather than trailer it to save some money, but the boat had no heater.

It was time to get a new sleeping bag. So off to the Internet I raced. After checking 2 or 3 weather reports, I searched for info on sleeping bags that were good down to around 45F. Of course, I ended up with information overload - everything from synthetic versus down filled, to size & color & length & shape & blah blah blah.

I ended up choosing a sleeping bag from Mountain Hardwear called Sunrise. Yes, sleeping bags have names! It cost about $200.00 and seemed to suit my needs. Of course, I didn't really think about temperature options then, I was comparing prices and looks. This sleeping bag was a pretty blue one that matched our new boat!

Needless to say, that night was c o l d !! We picked up the boat on a balmy 65 morning, and drove all day, ending up in the 1000 Islands near Brockville, Ontario that night. We should have picked up a clue that it was going to be cold when we found that all the docks were removed from the islands, but we just scoffed at the scared, cold-fearing tourists and enjoyed a late dinner all alone on an island.

Darkness came early and we knew we'd have an early start, so after a quick tour of the island to let our dog do his business, we made our beds in the aft cabin and were asleep by 10:00 p.m. A few hours after midnight, our dog woke me up and when my feet touched the floor, it felt like there was ice in the cabin!

Unfortunately for me, the bed was too small for 3, so I couldn't even enjoy the warmth of my dog next to me. I quickly dove back into my sleeping bag, but it was too late. My feet were already numb and they didn't seem to warm up all night.

After a long and miserable sleep, we woke early and dressed quickly. We heard on the radio that the temperature had dropped to 25 degrees overnight! I discovered the hard way that there is nothing worse than being cold on a boat. And weather forecasts are often wrong! So, when buying your next sleeping bag, get one that says it works to temperatures 20 degrees lower than you think you might need - you won't regret it! - 24585

Benefits of All-Inclusive Holidays

By Pat Webber

Today's travelers are looking for more ways of saving on holidays trips owing to the current economic times that are prevalent in many parts of the world. Some are even choosing to cut down on their holiday travel preferring instead to route their money into savings. But regardless of the tough times, there are still many travelers who have an undying passion for traveling will not cut down but instead they seek innovative ways to save money. These are termed smart travelers and are very knowledgeable regarding holiday deals when it comes to their airline tickets, car rental, hotel and other vacation-related expenses. They instead prefer to pay one fee which covers the airfare, the hotel expenses, the car rental and tours. These types of travel packages have become very popular and have become known as all-inclusive holidays.

Money is not the only item that motivates bargain-hunting travelers and tour operators understand this. Time is also essential to these travelers and the process of finding a good holiday destination that makes sense is also part of shopping smart hence the popularity of all-inclusive holidays. All-inclusive holidays provide some serious advantages for the travelers and we shall examine these next.

One advantage of all-inclusive holidays is that they save the traveler time. In the past, the traveler had to contact the different airlines and try to cut a deal. Since there are very many airlines, one had to contact many of them in order to settle for the one that had the best prices. A shorter way was to deal with a travel agency. Then after securing the best airline they had to contact the hotels in the country of destination. This was also another ordeal because there was little or no information on which hotels were out there. Finally one had to figure out how to get around when they got there. That meant searching for car rentals with little or no information not to mention there was little or no way of knowing what one was signing up for or what really awaited them. All-inclusive holiday tours eliminate all that. For one super-low price, the trip organizer will organize the airline ticket, the hotel, the car rental and even the tours of the destination. All this is a tremendous time-saver.

All-inclusive holidays are also cheaper. This is because the airlines, the hotels and the car rental companies have joined hands and decided to offer these packages to customers at reduced prices. They understand that the lower the prices, the more the customers they will get and this will translate into overall profits. It therefore makes sense to get an all-inclusive holiday package rather than try to buy the package deals individually.

All-inclusive packages are also more convenient than regular travel deals. One can easily buy the deals online at popular travel websites such as Travelocity and Expedia. One need not traverse other travel agencies to find deals. Everything is located on one website and with one click and one payment can secure an all-inclusive holiday package. - 24585
