Ice Hotels on Holidays - A Chilly Proposition
Over the last two decades, a number of ice hotels have been established in a variety of arctic countries. The first, in Sweden, had its first guests in 1989, though these were non-paying visitors who had come to see an exhibition held there and were unable to find accommodation in the nearby town. From this, though, sprang up the foundations for an entire hotel industry. Available only during the winter months, ice hotels are constructed using blocks of ice held together by snice (frozen water with properties half-way between snow and ice). As they begin to melt, usually around April, they are abandoned until construction begins once again, often around September or October. Due to the...
Home Security Tips For Heat Waves
Sometimes in the dead of summer, the pleasant heat that you've been dying for in the bitter cold of winter turns into something a little bit more sinister and troubling. And whether or not you believe in global warming, there have been some seriously epic record highs recorded in the past couple of summers across America. But before you start to get too worried that the mercury is going to climb too high during your dog days of summer, realize that there are simple steps to take to keep yourself and your home safe during the worst days of July and August. Of course, home security is secondary to the fact that, if you have young children and elderly relatives living with you, their health and safety...
Mario Brosstarted off as an arcade game made by the gaming giants Nintendo and was first released in 1983. Later on portable versions for home gaming systems were developed. It was a by-product of the popular Donkey Kong series with a heavy influence of the game Joust developed by William Electronics in 1982. Designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, it was the first game to use Mario's name in the title (Mario was called Jumpman in earlier versions). It also starred Mario's brother, Luigi (hence the name Mario Bros.) who later became a permanent fixture of Mario games. He is usually shown as Mario's cowardly young brother but later on due to his popularity he took a distinct personality of his own with...
Crochet Form and Function
When I was a very young girl, my grandmother was always sitting at the kitchen table crocheting. Often, she would use a fine cotton thread with a hook that had a head so small you couldn't really see it. I would marvel at how her hands moved effortlessly back and forth and, as if by magic, beneath her hands delicate lace would appear. It was only as an adult that I realized it was the incredible strength of her agrarian raised hands that made it appear so subtle. She would make me the most stunning outfits, dresses, suits and jumpers. As wonderful as they looked they were often itchy. I mean they were look for the closest mud puddle and fling yourself into it, itchy. The yarns of the past were...

Add Color and Life to Your Garden Pond With Koi
Like the goldfish, Koi are a domesticated variety of the carp. In fact, the word Koi comes from the Japanese word meaning "carp". An interesting side note is that the same sound means love or affection in Japanese, so Koi have become symbols of love in Japan. One time at which this can be seen is during the annual Boys Festival. A hallmark of this festival is the koi streamers that are attached to the ridgebeams of the houses. The first record of carp being bred for color was in the Sung Dynasty in China around the year 960. Koi as we know them today were developed in the city of Ochiya in Japan during the 1820s. By the start of the twentieth century the main color varieties had been set. Although...

Ireland is of course famous for many things, and not all of them are situated together!

Jordan - Wadi Rum
If you have a romantic heart and an adventurous spirit, then you have to ride an Arab horse across the desert of Wadi Rum at least once in your lifetime. Wadi Rum, in the far south of Jordan, is also known as Valley of the Moon. It is an enchanting place where massive rocky outcrops rise majestically out of the desert floor. The rocks have the appearance of melting chocolate and the colours in the sandstone are like a muted earthy rainbow. It is a landscape like no other. I have ridden twice now in Wadi Rum with Equitour Worldwide Riding Holidays Both trips were spectacular and different. I met old friends and made new. That is the wonderful thing about horses - they bring people together who...
Consider for a moment one of the undisputed icons of the office environment. I refer of course to that totem of colleague interaction, the bottled water cooler. Surely few items in history have taken such an ingrained place in the nation's psychology, yet there is a problem - what exactly is it for? Ha - I hear you say: surely the clue is in the name. You can get much clearer than that can you? This must be a place were hard working workers can go to enjoy a cool thirst quenching glass of H2O. What could be simpler? But is it? Water may be the given reason for including a bottled water cooler in an office. After all, who wants workers passing out due to dehydration? Not many to be sure. But it is so...

Dogs Wearing Clothes Can Be Fun and Functional...
There are many valid (and a few not quite so valid) reasons why you should dress your beloved four legged friend. Here I will be answering the question of why a dog owner should considering the idea of clothing their dog. Whether this should be in purely functional clothing or whether dog lovers should drift into the delightful realm of designer dog wear is another particularly hot topic I will be addressing. Firstly let's look at the functional purpose that some dog clothes can serve; A lot of people say the dogs have their own coats and so do not need extra clothing. True!! They may have their own coats but a thick shaggy coat is no fun in hot,steamy weather and likewise a short haired coat is...
There are two main types of air conditioners: wall units and central air. We've all experienced both if you've lived in the United States for any extended period of time. Although the wall unit can usually cool a room quickly and often more effectively, a central unit can bring an entire apartment or home down to an even, comfortable temperature. Each type has their own characteristics but central air conditioners are measured using two important characteristics: SEER and tonnage. The efficiency of air conditioners is measured using the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). The higher the rating, the more efficient the air conditioning unit is. The SEER rating is determined using the BTU of...
How to Make Freezer Blocking Work for You
Freezer blocking is a method that can save you money with your household freezer. With the fall weather upon us this is the time when people are starting to put away the excess bounty of their garden. Vegetables that have not already been consumed need to be stored for use throughout the winter months. Once you have bottled and/or packaged your vegetables they will have to be stored in a cold environment that is below their freezing point and at a low humidity level. A cold environment slows down the natural deterioration of vegetable matter that occurs. Most vegetables that are placed into a cold environment will go into a type of dormant state. Obviously a cold storage room is the most economical...

Imagine feeling so exhausted that, even just sitting and being was an effort. Supposing it did not matter how much sleep you had had, as soon as you tried to do something your energy was drained like a badly worn battery on its last legs. Or, if you did manage to achieve the smallest thing, you then found you had to sit and rest because you were so physically drained and, worse still that you would wake up, anything up to three hours later because of the energy that you had used. Worrying? You bet. What an earth was wrong with me? So you go to the doctor and he does the usual, it's a virus thing.

Everyone knows that home appliances are very important. After all, no one has time to be hand washing jeans and sheets these days, and having to toast bread over an open fire would certainly not be very convenient! Appliances are very important in our homes, but which ones are the most important? Out of all of the appliances available in stores today, which ones are the ones that would be labeled as "must haves"? This article will touch on the top ten appliances to have at home, and will also back up each one as to why it is in the top ten list. Number One - Stove: Without a stove in your kitchen you would definitely need a fireplace, unless you planned on eating out at least once a day, if not...
It might sometimes seem that your feet are the hardest part of your anatomy to keep warm, particularly in the dead of winter, when spring is a myth you tell yourself to keep an iota of hope alive. The rest of you might feel all warm and toasty, but your feet remain persistent little blocks of ice attached to your ankles, making you (and your bedmate) completely uncomfortable. Fortunately, cold feet can usually be attributed to cold weather (or doing something like walking out barefoot in the snow—which, by the way, is probably a bad idea), but you need to be careful. It can also be a symptom of an underlying disease or condition, ones which are often associated with poor circulation. Some...

How To Select An Ice Cream Scoop
ber when an ice cream scoop was—well, an ice cream scoop. An old-fashioned ice cream scoop still gets the job done, especially if it has a nice heft and balance and is long enough to get some leverage. And the traditional spring action, quick-release ice cream scoops are hard to beat if they are sturdy and well-made. (Stay away from the cheap ones and don’t buy plastic mechanical scoops.) They are not the best for leveraging through rock hard ice cream but they form attractive scoops that pop out with a squeeze of the hand. But today there are alternatives that will let that rock-hard ice cream slip easily from your scoop into the bowl: anti-freeze scoops, microwaveable scoops, and aqua...
Tips For Ajijic Travel in Mexico, Most Frequent...
Ajijic travel visitors often ask, about drinking the water during their Ajijic vacation. Everyone has heard when traveling to Mexico, "Don't Drink the Water". These tips will give you a reality check, bottoms up! Water in Mexico, is it Safe to Drink? In the last decade, purified bottled water has undergone somewhat of a revolution in Mexico. The water plants now use space-age micro-filters, and ozone generators to polish and sterilize the water. That means the bottled water in Mexico is so pure, it's just about mineral-free, in fact almost sterile enough to be used in a medical center. Don't drink out of a hose on the street, or water from a house without proper filtration, is common sense. During...
How Do I Make a Frozen Coffee Drink?
For those hot summer seasons, drinking steaming hot coffee may make you sweat more profusely. However, for java aficionados, this beverage is a must in their everyday routine. So the best alternative to that is frozen coffee drink. If you have not tried this yet, let me help you out with the process of making it. If you have your old brewer with you, this can also be your tool in making this favored drink. Using the same measurements of coffee grinds you use when you make hot brewed coffee, brew it using your old brewer. You can also add a bit more scoops as it will get bland if added with ice. After the brewing cycle, it will come out piping hot. If your brewer comes with a stainless steel carafe...
Making A Homemade Air-Conditioner
Here's a cheap and simple way to build an air-conditioning unit using simple household items. To build the unit, the items and materials you will need are: · Fan · Wood (pieces of 2x4) · Metal container (such as a garbage can, approximately 15 inch tall by 13 inch diameter) · Circular saw · Nails and a hammer · Aluminum metal repair roll, thin sheet (18 inch x 5 ft, available as a standard size at a hardware store) The fan I used is roughly 8 inches in diameter. This diameter will roughly dictate the size of the opening for the duct (but fan size is not critical). This opening will be made out of pieces of 2x4. If you would like to see pictures of the...
akers are very useful kitchen appliances at homes and in businesses. Beat the thirst and heat anytime with a delicious cold drink. Ice makers are machines that produce ice from water. This machine freezes the water placed inside the machine and forms the ice. Sometimes it is also called the ice machine. This is usually a luxury appliance used for ice production. It can be brought along outdoors when vacationing. The healthcare groups find it handy especially in sports activities where a cold compress first aid treatment might be needed. The grocery stores and convenience store sells loads or blocks of ice produced from ice makers. The lodging houses and food services like restaurants and cafes never...
The process of preserving food has been one that has challenged the human race for countless generations. From salting to pickling, the act of manipulating food so that it lasts through harsher environments has been crucial to ensuring survival. However, the invention of the first fridge in the 1700s marked a drastic change in the ways people were able to keep food, and has since evolved into modern times to be one of the sought appliances for the home; many could not imagine living without owning a fridge. Chemist and physicist William Cullen created the first fridge cooling system whilst he was working and studying at the University of Glasgow in 1756; at it's core was a vapor cooling compression...
Air Conditioners Make Life in the Desert a Breeze
I'm writing this article from my home in sunny Arizona. It's the middle of April, and we're supposed to hit 90 degrees this weekend. Some years, we've already hit 100 by this point in spring. Summer temperatures surpass 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which melts my brain just thinking about it. One would think that with temperatures that high, being a year-round resident would be impossible for anyone that isn't a cactus. But as long as you have a good air conditioning unit that doesn't need any repair, living in the desert, or any other hot climate, is definitely manageable. The concept of air conditioning is nothing new. The basic premise uses evaporation as a means of cooling air. In ancient Rome...
When it comes to using Igloo ice chests it simply isn't a case of just putting a few bags of crushed ice into it. In fact if you really want yours to keep the food or drinks in yours cool throughout a day or a weekend if you take yours camping then it is important that you put in an adequate amount of ice. Although you may find using bags of ice easier it is important that you put in a block rather than bags even if they do weigh the same. Remember it will take considerably longer for a block of ice to melt than small cubes in the bags would. Certainly this is the method you should be using for cooling your Igloo ice chest if you intend to use it for longer than 48 hours at a time. Today you can buy...
How is Dry Ice Made?
Anyone old enough to remember "ice boxes", will remember the daily deliveries of huge blocks of ice that kept their meat and food cool inside the icebox, a forerunner of the refrigerator. But those blocks were hugely messy when they melted, and turned to liquid. That's one problem you don't have with dry ice. Because it is just what its name says- dry ice. And when it "melts", it is actually changing its state from a solid to a gas. Dry ice is carbon dioxide gas that has been subjected to high pressure. Just as the nature of water changes according to the sea level, boiling at lower temperatures, at lower pressures, carbon dioxide also has a solid-liquid-gas transformation related to pressure. At...
Ice Machine Maintenance and Sanitation
You can order ice makers and dispensers with automatic cleaning features, such as air filters and self-rinsing ice contact surfaces, or you can do it the old-fashioned way. Either way, ice that is dirty, melts too quickly, or lacks uniformity usually signals a dirty or malfunctioning machine. Here are the most common problems and ways to prevent them: Dirty ice. Clean and sanitize the machine regularly to remove algae, slime, and mineral deposits from the water. Bin walls can be washed with a neutral cleanser as long as you are sure to rinse them thoroughly. Always remove ice with clean hands and a sanitized plastic scoop, and never use the bin as a convenient place to stash foods or beverages...

Fun With Wedding Themes
Theme weddings are fun and stress reducing. Limiting your wedding to a theme, focuses your energy on more specific items. For instance if your theme is "beach" style, you probably won't hold it during winter in Minnesota. When you have a more narrow focus, you have a better opportunity to produce results. Think about this: which is better for a beach themed wedding? Blue and yellow or black-and-white? Although black and white are lovely colors, blue and yellow would probably be a better, and easier, choice. So now you've crossed off black and white on your list and are only left with a few more colors. This is an example of how a theme can reduce the stress for your wedding. Theme weddings can also...

While Mom is thinking, "Great, how will I get to work tomorrow?" "Lights, Camera... Action!"

After a quick prayer that no one was seriously harmed, a wave of homesickness swept through me. How beautiful Boston and New York City are during a snowfall...
