Get Your Camping Trip Ready With These Excellent Tips

By Dorsey T. Emanus


Camping is a pastime that can be fun and educational for the entire family. In order to get the most out of your time communing with nature, you must take the time to learn as much about camping as possible. Read the tips that follow and you will be able to plan an adventure you will never forget.

When it comes to tents, you should understand that bigger is not always better. Keep in mind that you are going to have to drag your tent to the campsite. To make sure that your tent is not too large for you to haul and set up, test it out at your home first.

While you have this vision of a fun-filled camping trip, many times scrapes and cuts just seem to come with all that fun. Be sure you take a first-aid kit with you into nature because accidents just happen, and it's always better to be safe than sorry. Hopefully, it will stay packed safely away, but you will have the peace of mind that you are prepared if something does happen.

Pack glow sticks. It gets dark out in nature. If you're just waking up in the middle of the middle of the night, the light from a flashlight or lantern can be too harsh. Bring glow sticks and keep them in an easily accessible location. These will provide a softer light.

Be sure to keep all perishable food items in a cooler packed with ice. Solid ice works better than cubes because it melts slower. Another trick for keeping food cold in a cooler is to freeze water bottles at home, and pack your cooler with them instead of ice. As the bottles thaw, you will have cold drinking water.

Camping is definitely a fun time, but there might also be uninvited guests at your campsite. Who are these guests? Bugs! This is their environment and they like camping, too. Make sure you have bug repellent with you to tell them to stay at their own campsite or to go visit other campers that weren't quite as prepared as you were.

Know what is available in the area around your campsite. You may get lucky and have beautiful weather the entire time. However, you may also face inclement weather, too. Have a backup plan in case you need a diversion. This is particularly crucial if you have kids, but adults need a little entertainment as well!

Bring your cellphone with you when you go camping. Even if you are serious about roughing it, cell phones are still very useful in emergencies and should not be left at home. A cell phone is no longer a hobby, and when you go camping it can help you reach police and emergency personnel--bring it.

If you are going on a camping adventure, make sure you have enough time to set up camp before dark. It can be extremely difficult to set up camp in the dark and possibly unsafe. You need to be able to scout the terrain, prepare bedding, and possibly build some temporary shelter prior to the sun going down.

When it comes to food, bring only what you need on a camping trip. Extra food out in the wilderness is a calling card for wild animals to come visiting your campground. If you do find that you have additional food, tie it up in cloth and handg it as high as you can in a tree away from your immediate campground. This will help keep you from unwanted animal introductions.

Now that you know what it takes to have a good camping trip get ready for many exciting adventures to come. Use everything that you learned today about camping to enjoy yourself with a good time away from your normal routine of life, and to get an experience you'll never forget.

The most Popular Sightseeing in Cairo

By Mohamed Elyousefi


Below is the most famous sightseeing to visit in Cairo:

- Pyramids of Giza

- Sakkara Pyramids + Memphis + Dashur

- Egyptian Museum

- Citadel and Mohamed Ali Mosque* *

- Old Cairo area for the ancient churches and Jewish Synagogue

- Ibn Touloun Mosque and Gayer Anderson Museum (2 renovated Islamic Houses) - not standard, but well worth the visit.

Ibn Touloun Mosque

If there is a time, you can add the Khan Khalili Bazaar, it stays open till late, and is a very interesting area for monuments as well as shopping.

The best way to do this "in one day" is to hire a private tour guide (in advance) who will also provide the transportation. Traffic is very heavy in Cairo and this makes it hard to get from one area to another, Saqqara is outside Cairo and not easy to reach.

For just one day you must choose from these places, as to do them all you would be "on the run" and this is not enjoyable. You can choose one of the following for a full day tour:

- Cairo museum + Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx

OR

- Pyramids of Giza + Memphis + Pyramid of Sakkara and surrounding Mastabas

OR

- Citadel of Saladin, Old Cairo area + Ibn Touloun and Gayer Anderson house

The Khan Khalili Bazaar it is open till late (around 10 or 11 pm), so evenings are very suitable for such a visit.

The Egyptian Museum opens till late, so this could be your last place to visit, doors close at 7pm, but to buy and entry ticket you have to be there earlier, so be there before 5.30pm at least. It is very busy in the mornings with tour groups so, it really is better to go later in the day if you can.

Primus Stove - The Most Reputable Camping Stove

By Jan Peter




Efficiency is the main feature of every Primus stove and it is acknowledged around the globe as the most trusted camping stove, the first pressurized-burner kerosene stove, created in 1892 by Frans Wilhelm Lindqvist. Lindqvist is a factory mechanic in Stockholm, Sweden. The stove he produced was according to the design of the hand-held blowtorch. His breakthrough came when he covered the burner and turned it upward on the stove rather than outward like a blowtorch.

The same year, Lindqvist started a Kerosene Stove Factory with Johan Viktor Svenson; they build the J.V. Svenson's Kerosene Stove Manufacturing plant. They made various types of model of the stove until in 1889 when they finally created the final model for the Primus stove.

Because of the efficiency of Primus stove, it rapidly attained a reputation as the most reliable and tough stove for daily use. It could also carry out its functions even under adverse conditions. Well-known explorers like Ronald Amundsen who carried out an expedition to the South Pole and Richard Byrd to the North Pole utilized Primus stoves as their main cooking gear.

Primus stoves were also utilized by Mallory on his expedition to Mt. Everest. While a lot of other manufacturers created portable stoves of a comparable design, it's generically referred to as a Primus stove, regardless of who created it.

In order to light the stove, the user needs to pre-heat the burner assembly making use of a small amount of alcohol burned through a circular spirit cup which is located under the burner. Once it's heated, it'll pressurized the tank by using a small hand pump located into the tank that makes the kerosene from the tank and raising it to the ascending pipe till it reaches the pre-heated burner head, then the fuel is heated and vaporized. The heated vapours become the main component in its function as an all around stove.

Visit the Boca Raton Museum of Art in Mizner Park

By Jony Mozen


Art is commonly known as the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture. Art changes over time as modern works break with traditional art and the relational properties of artworks depend on relations to art history and genres as well as pan-cultural and trans-historical characteristics.

The Boca Raton Museum of Art in Mizner Park features an assortment of traveling exhibitions and permanent collections from established and rising artists, and includes 19th and 20th century European and American painting, drawings and sculpture with works by a number of the great masters including Degas, Matisse, Modigliani, Picasso, Seurat, Pre-Columbian art and others, plus West African art and artifacts, photography, and more. The museum also offers educational and outreach programs, artist lectures, films, art school classes for adults and children, guest lectures, an art festival, juried competitions, and cultural events.

In Japan, the changes which society underwent in the second half of the 19th century opened up new possibilities for Japanese garden design. With the opening of the country to trade with other nations, elements borrowed from the West, including lawns, formal arrangements of plantings, paved walkways and fountains, made their way into Japanese gardens of the period. More importantly, Japanese garden designers were discovering forms and materials in their own culture from which they had never before drawn to add new and interesting textures and experiences to their designs. The new trends were part of a renaissance that cut across many areas of artistic expression to re-define what it meant to be Japanese in a modern world. Innovations based on native forms might include masses of flowers such as irises or camellias, which resonated with the aesthetic sensibility of the Heian nobility by way of the 17th and 18th century paintings of the Rimpa school. Materials appearing in gardens for the first time had been around for centuries, like roofing tiles used to pave pathways or to provide other decorative accents.

Professional Development For Educators, approved and certified by the School District of Palm Beach County, provides professional staff development, focusing on how to use the vast collection as a resource for integrating the visual arts into the curriculum. The strategies and lesson plans given make educators comfortable with presenting the visual arts to their students. Docents in the Museum facilitate the visitor's understanding and enjoyment of the Museum's collections and special exhibitions by using the Socratic method, which is a technique of inquiry and dialogue during thematically based tours to help enable visitors to understand what they are seeing by learning to "read" a work of art. Docent Candidate programs become available every two years, allowing applicants who are permanent, year-round South Florida residents to apply for these prestigious positions. It is advantageous for applicants to have attended Art History/Art Appreciation courses, but it is not required. However, candidates must be able to: participate in a six-month course of study and, after graduation, commit to one-half day a week service and attend all Docent training sessions.

Programs for Adults include curatorial highlight tours on select Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, which are Free for Members or with paid Museum admission. These informative gallery tours focus on the current exhibitions. Adult Programs feature informative curatorial highlight gallery tours focusing on the current exhibitions as well as art films, and daily public highlight docent tours. Visitors can use their cell phones to take an audio tour of many of the exhibitions at the Boca Raton Museum of Art. So be sure to bring your cell phone when you visit! Children and Family Programs feature Art-E-Ology, a once a month program for children, where they can learn about a master artist on exhibit at the Museum and have the opportunity to create a masterpiece in the style of the selected artist. Artful Adventure Sunday celebrates the visual arts with this fun-filled family program, led by seasoned art educators, featuring art workshops that draw inspiration from the Museum's permanent collection into a studio class designed for everyone. Creation Station is a gallery program designed for families to learn more about the visual arts in a relaxed and fun manner, with a volunteer on hand to assist the families. Activities may include crafting a sculpture out of recycled objects, creating a collage, or solving a jigsaw puzzle, with different activities every month. Stroller Tours are free with Museum Admission on the fourth Tuesday of the month. These lively gallery tours of the Museum's collections and exhibitions are offered to new parents, grandparents, and caregivers with their young ones, 18 months old and younger. Crying and whining is permitted - by children, not parents. Art Tales encourages tots and caregivers to come and enjoy story time at the Museum.

A low student-teacher ratio, and four age-appropriate levels of learning bring children together in an environment that explores their artistic skills and deepens their connection to the natural world. The goal is to inspire students to create original works of art in a wide variety of studio programs and focus on lessons in developing fine art. Classes are geared toward each student's individual level of achievement. Instructors are highly professional art educators who seek a balance between preserving the child's natural creativity and providing the skills and discipline necessary for deeper expression to unfold. Activities include a strong emphasis on art history with hands-on learning about two famous artists; Multicultural art curriculum with visits from special guest artists; Social interactions through presentations and class exhibitions; and demonstrations how physical motion and rhythm relate to art.

Ever Wonder Where Everyone Retires?

By Keith Ronnie McCoy


South Florida Real Estate offers a full array of different options to satisfy every taste. South Florida also has a great diversity of homes for sale to fit every lifestyle. From a place to raise a family like Miramar, Pembroke Pines, or Weston Estate Communities, to a young executive looking for the Urban City Living in Miami Lakes,Miami Beach, Hollywood, Aventura, or Fort Lauderdale, to adults looking for a place to retire in Luxury Adult Communities as in Coral Springs, Davie, or Coral Gables, South Florida is the place.

But recently real estate for sale has replaced investor interest and initiated an immense 39% drop in properties sold compared to last year. Homes are sitting on the market for 90- 120 days, vastly varied from the 30 day average just a few months ago. Therefore, rates are regressing, rendering real estate reasonably priced once more, relinquishing ruling power to the buyers. Regressing real estate rates do not represent a regional repugnance, but rather a national decline in residential real estate rates as supply has surpassed demand.

In stock market investing there is one very sound rule, "Buy on weakness and sell on strength". This certainly holds true now with Florida real estate. We are at a weak point now in the market. What's keeping many buyers on the sidelines is uncertainty. No one wants to be a sucker. They are probably saying, "What if I buy now and the value decreases"? Look at it this way. Now is probably not the right time to do short term property flipping, however if you can afford to buy Florida real estate at today's prices and hold on to it for five to seven years how much do you think the real estate will appreciate? If you are thinking of buying a primary residence and plan to reside in it for at least five to seven years, what do you think it would be worth after that time period?

Our first word is the word broker. A broker is actually a person who does the task of linking a potential real estate buyer to someone who sells such property, or a lessee to someone who leases such property, as well. Florida real estate brokers need to obtain a license from the State of Florida first as a requirement. Otherwise, they could not be allowed to operate legally. These brokers earn by receiving a commission from either the property seller or form the one who leases it.

You will always get to hear the word appraisal. This term refers to a report that is formally put into a written one as prepared by a Florida real estate professional. Normally, an appraisal consists of details about the impartial assessment and value of a property. It also includes some details about the estimation and the rationale behind it. In the Florida real estate, an appraisal is something that is compulsory for every property that gets sold.

So instead of wondering if the Florida real estate market hit bottom yet, ask yourself how long you plan to hold on to the Florida real estate. Then, ask yourself if you think the market will rebound by then. If the answer is yes, call me and I will pre-qualify you for a Florida mortgage at a low rate and hook you up with one of my best buyer realtors and I promise, you will be pleasantly pleased.

You have two choices. You can save this article for two years, then read it and kick yourself or you can pick up the phone now and call me to get you a great deal on a purchase loan at a low rate. I have 100% financing available. I have loans for self employed, high debt to income loans, high loan to value loans, low score loans, stated income, no income, no doc, alt doc and loans that close on time!

Bill Burress, the founder and principal broker of Cincinnati Mortgage, LLC has 26 years of experience originating mortgage loans and has enjoyed helping people get a good deal on their mortgages. Cincinnati Mortgage, LLC of Florida approves residential mortgage loans throughout the entire state of Florida and approves commercial mortgages in all 50 states U.S.

Global Businesses Moving To Panama

By Tyler Ramos


The Panamanian economy has been expanding exponentially in recent years: and the government has reported rates of approximately 8.5 per cent growth per annum. With such strong economic expansion going on, it is no accident that there are more and more multinational and transnational companies that are shifting there and opening up offices in Panama and trade in the country.

One of the reasons that companies are attracted to the country is that the banking system there is reliable and has not been subject to the closures and collapses that have been seen in many countries over the past couple of years. The stability that has been established there helps to give confidence to investors.

Another reason that many companies are also coming to the country is that the canal is being expanded and the vast amount of resources and personnel that are required to make that happen and continue on schedule means that there are huge business opportunities for many global companies. In fact, the current expansions are larger than the original canal project back in the early twentieth century.

The current Panamanian national government has been working hard to remove obstacles to investment in the country such as corruption and inefficient governmental practices and policies. This has been a deliberate approach by the government to make investment there a more attractive option for companies from around the world.

Another benefit to basing operations there is that it can act as a hub to North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean. This can make keeping up with operations that you have in different regions more efficient as well as more affordable. The country does not fall on an earthquake fault line or suffer from extreme weather and hurricanes such as some other countries in the same region either and this also helps to make operations and insurance easier too.

On top of the infrastructure and benefits that are put into place by the government, there are other things that can attract people to the country. Some of these things are the geographic location, which is effectively a hub between North and South America and Central America and the Caribbean. As well as this it is not an earthquake danger area and it does not have hurricanes or other natural disasters that are countries in similar regions are prone to.

The economy is increasing drastically and there is more investment than ever before. There are so many compelling reasons for multinationals to be based in the country and lots of companies are only now beginning to understand the benefits to doing business there.

The government of Panama is being very proactive in attracting multinational companies of all descriptions to move to the country and open their doors for business. Many companies are only just starting to become aware of the benefits that await them when they move their operations there and in the near future it is likely that even more big businesses will be land there.

Whale Viewing is amongst the best tourist spots with supervised trips on a big and safe craft, but the more daring visitors could try paddling out beyond the breakers in rented kayaks. Many corporations offer guided kayak tours. Killer whales migrate right by the Washington coast and it isn't strange to find five to six within the trip.

Aberdeen: Rock music fans cannot visit Washington State without seeing Aberdeen at least once. Aberdeen is a charming small town in Southern Washington which is the first home of Kurt Cobain.

Travel and Vacation Advice

By Olivia M Darlington


To help give you piece of mind when travelling by car, you should look at purchasing a roadside assistance plan. If your car should get stuck, you now have someone to call when there is nobody around to help. Most plans are fairly inexpensive and will help pay for itself if you ever need assistance.

If you are planning on a really remote and exotic trip of a lifetime, consider purchasing an insurance that will cover emergency evacuation, rescuing and search. The farther from civilization you plan to be, the more grateful you will be to have this type of insurance.

Europe is not the only place to travel by hopping a train. Think of traveling the U.S. or Canada by train or bus as an option, as well. In the United States, trains shuttle north and south of the Eastern Seaboard daily and can be a very convenient and quick way to travel.

Have someone pick up your mail and newspapers while you travel. A full mailbox and a pile of newspapers is a big sign that a home's owners are away. Have a friend or family member pick up these theft beacons and ensure you do not come back to a ransacked home.

If you have decided to travel by plane you should be sure to bring some chewing gum with you on the plane. One of the most uncomfortable parts of a flight is on takeoff and landing when the air pressure changes. It can really hurt your ears. Chewing gum can keep it from getting painful.

Traveling by bus with children can be a trying experience, but you can make it easier by being prepared for boredom, snack attacks and other potential circumstances. Bringing along some travel games and coloring books and crayons are great ways to keep both younger and older children occupied. If you travel overnight rather than during the day, a young child is likely to sleep through most of the trip. Pack a snack bag with food and beverages for each child. Give your children the opportunity to stretch their legs by getting off the bus during brief stops.

Allow time in your travel plans for diversion. When you are planning events and activities during your trip, separate some of these plans with an hour or two gap in between. This allows for extra time at an event or the opportunity to explore some of the local scenery that you might not see otherwise.

Now that you've armed yourself with some insight and information, you're ready to venture in a relaxed and informed manner. Stay alert, and at the same time remember to relish the experience of meeting new people and embracing new cultures. Try these tips and you can be confident and enjoy the trip.

One type of trip you may have not planned before is a 'glam-ping' trip. This is a trip where you stay in tents but they are built with luxury specifications and already erected when you arrive on site!

Points To Consider When Hiring Marquees

By Margaret Gonzalez


An event must be held in a perfect location for it to proceed smoothly and remain memorable to the attendees. In case, your event is being held outdoors, you must consider the effect of sun or rain on those attending. Hiring a marquee can solve all your problems because apart from eliminating bad effects of weather elements, it can also transform any location to what you expect. However, as you think of hiring marquees, there are issues you must consider.

One of the advantages worth mentioning is that holding a function under a marquee is much cheaper than renting space in a restaurant. If it is family function, kids will also have ample space to run around without creating problems for other attendees. It is therefore a very attractive option.

The companies offering the services usually provide a complete package. Apart from the tents, you will also get the transport service, set up, furnishings, lighting and public address systems. Therefore, if a company cannot offer all these, it might be a good idea to look elsewhere. Some companies also offer additional services such as provision of flowers and catering.

Since the tents are availed in different sizes, and styles you have to choose the right one for your function. The style might not be hard to select but the size can be a bit tricky. If you know the number of people you are expecting, it might be easier to make a choice because a twelve square feet tent can ft fifteen people. Based on this fact, you can do other calculations to determine the size you need.

Although most people are used to white tents, you can get a huge variety of colors to suit the theme of your occasion. For instance, if it is a birthday party for a small child, get a marquee with colors such as blue, bright red, yellow and pink. The same applies for weddings whereby you can also get one with flowers matching your theme.

The tent setup might not be high among your priority items especially if the provider will be handling it. However, it is good to confirm whether the provider can guarantee a sturdy setup that will not buckle under pressure from strong wind or storm. A company that has been in business for years should guarantee this. If possible, you should also have an agreement on who bears the burden should the structure come down and hurt people during the function.

To get exactly what you want for your function, you must consider all the aspects discussed above when hiring marquees. Since you want the function to remain memorable to all in attendance, it is mandatory to work with professionals.

The Best Way To Plan Your Travel Itinerary

By Dana Cain


Traveling is a great form of entertainment, but planning the details of the trip can be frustrating. It can be daunting to figure out all the logistics of a trip and make sure everything is in order. The tips in this article can help make trip planning a breeze so that you can just focus on enjoying yourself.

Try to avoid exchanging currency when you are in a new country. You can get a better exchange rate at home. Just go to the nearest ATM and take out some money. You will find that ATMs usually offer a better rate of exchange and cost less to use than a brick and mortar exchange.

Off-hour flights can be made bearable with the help of sleep aids. With all the unfamiliarity and noise of an aircraft, many people are unable to sleep on planes. You may want to consider bringing sleeping pills with you on your flight, in order to rest comfortably. Always wait until you are safely in the air before taking your sleeping pill because delays can happen or planes can be grounded.

Travel is a great opportunity to learn more things. Even developing countries can be perfectly safe if you plan carefully for safety, and it's an awesome learning experience for your children. Time abroad is one of the best ways to learn to tolerate and understand other cultures.

Talk to your children about airport security procedures. It is smart to at least try to describe the process well before arriving at the airport. Keep your kids close to you at all times, and try to have another adult in your party go ahead of them so that they can see that there is nothing to fear in a security check.

Hotels have many patrons at once. Be sure to keep your noise level down so you do not disturb your neighbors. It doesn't matter what time of day it is, there's always someone suffering from jet lag and trying to get a little sleep. You don't have to be quiet as a mouse, but you should be reasonable in the noise you make.

If you plan to travel abroad, find out ahead of time whether you will need a visa to be allowed into any of the countries you will visit. Visas might take a while to process, so give yourself enough time to apply and receive it. If you do not take care of the paperwork, you will not be able to travel freely.

Just keep in mind you will probably pay more and it doesn't really save that much space. Instead, try different, space efficient folding techniques for packing clothes. Some of these techniques can give you much more room in your bag.

Pack dark colored clothing, instead of light, anytime you are traveling. Dark colors can hide dirt and wrinkles, which are common on clothes when you are away from home for a long time. Use darker colors with brighter-colored accessories to avoid looking dreary.

In conclusion, the reason for so many horror stories about vacations is that people do not prepare for their vacation in the right way. You now have the advice needed to take the worry from your vacation and find the relaxation that you deserve.
