Loisaba is a 61,000 acre privately owned ranch on the edge of Kenya’s Northern Territories. One of the reasons it is a perfect place to visit on any in Kenya Safari is that most of the land is untamed African bush, and it has an incredibly diverse amount of game. As the land is privately owned there aren’t any game park rules to conform to, which means the safari visitor can get really close to wildlife in ways that would otherwise be impossible compared to the restrictions Game Parks tend to impose on visitors. Loisaba Lodge has seven ensuite cottages each with their own veranda. It is centred on the old colonial home where the dining room, bar and a comfortable lounge are situated. The lodge also has a pool, a tennis court, petanque, and a superb spa. Unlike most other lodges Loisaba has almost everything you need to enjoy your holiday, and not just the basic comforts of a safari camp in Kenya. So why is Loisaba the perfect Kenya Safari Lodge for your In Kenya Safari? It’s a lovely lodge with a fantastic atmosphere to relax in, being all inclusive/soft drinks, beer, and wines.. The game viewing is almost limitless, and the guides are amongst the best Safari Guides in Kenya Apart from traditional and almost limitless game viewing, game drives, bush walks with an armed guide, and without forgetting the facilities at the Lodge itself, there are a large number of activities available. These include horse riding excursions, Camel trekking along the river, Quad biking, visits to the working cattle ranch, and also the local community village. Also a remarkable feature at Loisaba are the Koija & Kiboko Starbeds (ensuite) out on the ranch for guests wishing to spend a night under the stars. Kiboko Starbeds are 20 minutes from the lodge and over look the dam; Koija Starbeds are 30 minutes away from the lodge and overlook the Ewaso Nyiro River. Each star bed is dramatically designed, on a handcrafted wooden raised platform, and partially covered with a thatched roof. One of Loisaba’s plusses is that it is only accessible by chartered light aircraft, and its inaccessibility means you will not see other safari vehicles on your game drives. This is another reason that stays of less than three days are not recommended. Loisaba is home to elephant, lion, leopard, that can roam free and unhurried by people, without all the problems of the 21st century. There are the rarer species that thrive in this environment including gerenuk, Grevy’s zebra, and the reticulated giraffe. In addition the birdlife is many and varied. This is really an undiscovered paradise, to do as you want, the perfect in Kenya Safari lodge.

If you are looking for all these conveniences and excitement, let Australia handle that for you. Perk up your traveling experience in the sixth largest country in the world, twice as large as Europe but less crowded. Make a choice from a wide variety 7000 fantastic beaches and enjoy the luscious greens of flora of approximately 25000 species and diverse but unique fauna as evidenced by the Kangaroo. Australians are fun-loving people and are very sociable. You can learn so much about their culture because of their very straightforward attitude towards guests and strangers. Language Discrepancies English maybe the widely spoken language in Australia but there are utterances which makes them unique to the rest of the English-speaking world and terminologies better left unsaid. Some of the most common are Cobber = Buddy, Fairdinkum = Really and Cold One = Beer. Phrases such as righto = okay/alright and rag up = dress warmly are also common. The word “root” may have evolved to mean “sex” in Australia so it is better to keep from saying that word as long as you could. Same thing applies to “fanny” which came to mean a female’s private part. Weather Among the 7 continents, Australia probably has the weirdest climate. Unlike the US, the months of December to February are the hottest and most humid dates of the year. Keep in mind that Australia’s climate is just the exact opposite with that of the Northern Hemisphere Southern Australia was recorded to having the harshest climate during the summer season and keeping it out of your itinerary is advisable. Depending on where you are headed, there are must-haves and clothing you will need to prepare to make sure you will not be caught off-guard for any circumstances that are expected along the way. Sunglasses and sunscreens and light clothing are important in Australia due to hot climate in some regions, but keeping a jacket during the cold night is a must especially in the southern temperate region. Nice pair of boots in the bushes is practically essential. Transportation Public vehicles such taxis are commonplace in Australia. Most taxis charge “flagfall” and a surcharge for distant travels. “Keep left” is the rule of driving here. It can be quite confusing at times but being careful will surely keeps you away from trouble. Tipping Just the exact opposite of the west. Tipping may not be a no-no but it is not generally practice here but you can do so in some special occasions. There are simply 1001 ways to enjoy the beauty of Australia and the good thing is, you can add more to rev up your rewarding traveling experience. Traveling to a distant place poses a lot of challenges but surely it is satisfying and worth the pennies! So enjoy and don’t forget to have a cold one with a cobber!

Two or three hours before you plan to begin making the chili, rub the chuck roast well with a mash made from two to three of the garlic cloves and salt. Sprinkle the meat with the chili powder to lightly coat it. Loosely cover it with plastic, and set it aside. Light enough hardwood charcoal to sear the meat on an outdoor grill, preferably one with a cover. At the same time, soak a few handfuls of mesquite chips in water. When the coals are covered with gray ash, spread them out evenly, and scatter the damp mesquite chips on top. Then immediately set the meat over the smoke, about an inch from the coals. Cover the grill, and adjust the dampers to maintain a slow, steady heat. Let the meat sear for about 12 minutes (this process is meant to flavor, not cook, the meat), and turn it over to sear the other side for the same amount of time. Remove the meat from the heat, saving any juices on its surface, and transfer it to the refrigerator. Let it cool thoroughly, about 1 hour. When the meat has cooled, trim away any surface fat or cartilage. With a sharp knife, cube the meat into the smallest pieces you have patience for, saving all the juices. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy Dutch oven over moderate heat. Mix in the remaining garlic, and sauté it until it turns translucent. Stir in the meat and all reserved meat juices, adding just enough beef broth to cover. Pour in the lime juice, and sprinkle in the remaining seasonings, stirring and tasting as you do. Crumble in a few whole chiles pequíns to bring the heat up to taste. Turn the heat down as low as possible. Long cooking toughens, not tenderizes, if the chili is allowed to boil. Every half hour or so, stir the chili and taste for seasoning, adjusting as you wish. After the first hour, thicken the chili as you like by adding the Masa Harina a teaspoon at a time. The chili should be ready to eat in 3 hours, although it will benefit from a night’s aging in the refrigerator. Serve the chili steaming hot in large, heavy bowls with an ample supply of soda crackers and a side of beans, but not much else except maybe hot black coffee, iced tea or beer.

Return TransportationYou should confirm your return reservation at least twice, and at least 72 hours before your scheduled departure. Whenever possible, obtain a written confirmation. If you confirm your return reservation by phone, record the time, day, and the name of the agent who took your call. If your name does not appear on the reservations list, you have no recourse and may find yourself stranded. Departure Tax Some countries levy an airport departure tax on travelers, which can be as high as $50. Please ask the airline or a travel agent about this tax. Make certain to have enough money at the end of your trip so that you will be able to get on the plane. Immigration and Customs If a passport was required for your trip, have it ready when you go through Immigration and Customs. If you took other documents with you, such as an International Certificate of Vaccination, a medical letter, or a Customs certificate of registration for foreign-made personal articles, have them ready, also. Have your receipts handy, in case you need to support your customs declaration. When returning to the United States by car from Mexico or Canada, have your certificate of vehicle registration available. It is a good idea to pack your baggage in a way to make inspection easier. For example, pack the articles you acquired abroad separately, if possible. There are two groups of destinations from which the duty-free exemption is higher. These are a group of 24 countries and dependencies in the Caribbean and Central America from which the exemption is $600, and a group of U.S. insular possessions (the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Guam), from which the exemption is $1,200. Ensure you declare all that you purchased or received as gifts overseas. If you are selected to have your baggage checked upon arrival, cooperate with the U.S. Customs agent and, unless you have something to hide, this should only take a few minutes. If you are caught with undeclared items, be prepared to pay stiff penalties. Plan ahead – save time and money.

Bobby Lopez goes on to explain, “I can’t tell you how disappointed I am in the powers to be at The Masters Golf Championship. They’ve ruined my favorite golf tournament. I’m quite certain that Bobby Jones is turning in his grave!” He sights the Master’s decision to lengthen their golf course to the point that 90% of the field doesn’t have a prayer in competing for the opening major championship of the 2006 season. Everyone concerned feels that Master’s officials certainly should have concern for their championship being won by a score like 22 under par. Compared to the US Open, known for it’s difficult conditions, making even par a winner score again, the Masters at Augusta National with it’s wide rolling fairways and light rough became outdated in today’s long ball hitting environment. Lopez, claims, “The same long hitting lineup is hitting it long at the US Open too but it’s not just the length that’s causing the higher scores. It’s the super fast greens and tight fairways with considerable rough that makes it very difficult for any player to reach the green in regulations once in deep rough’s grasp.” At the Player’s Championship, we watched the best PGA touring professionals in the business agonize over a par three of only 123 yards. You have to question what made the Masters committee decide that only a 240-yard par three could tame today’s long hitting bullies? Bobby Lopez says, “Tighten up the golf course I say, don’t lengthen it. Add a vicious intimidating rough that would make even the longest hitters reach for their 1 iron or a three wood to not risk hitting their drive in the rough and lose a stroke, (or maybe even your ball) to a deep club swallowing hazard.” This adjustment Not only would have the scores go up but at the same time you would bring more players into contention and in Bobby’s estimation bring out the best ball strikers not just the long knockers. You can think of it like NASCAR. Doesn’t this sport do the same thing? Look at how successful NASCAR is! They control the speed of the cars so that more competitors are bunched up at the finish to create a more exciting race. Maybe the powers to be at The Masters, with all their glory, high income power brokers, members of the powerful business clicks, don’t have as much sense as a bunch of rednecks with a beer in their hand watching a Chevy go around in a circle. Could it be true? The numbers don’t lie NASCAR has the largest audience in the sports business and golf is losing popularity and participation.

WELCOME to the Kingdom of Fife! If you are visiting Fife by road from the North or South, then we apologise for taking your money for the privilege of crossing the bridge(s); and rest assured we wouldn’t do that if Dunfermline were still the Capital of Scotland instead of the young upstart, Edinburgh. It does however indicate that the Scottish Parliament places more value on Fife than Edinburgh. Dunfermline is a city with many easily accessible and interesting attractions, from its ancient 12th-century Abbey to the restored 15th-century Abbot House where you can enjoy a snack and drink in its cosy café, or you can choose to explore the bustling High Street and once you have finished your retail therapy you can relax and absorb the atmosphere in ‘Oolahs’, a modern and well appointed café in the High Street. Andrew Carnegie the world famous industrialist and philanthropist was born in Dunfermline in 1835, and as you explore the City you will find his ‘ghost’ is everywhere, no more so than in his family home, a humble weaver’s cottage which been preserved and extended to include a museum of his life. Only a few minutes drive from Dunfermline, you will find several villages worth visiting, Culross (another Royal Burgh) to the West, is in my view the most interesting, and when you walk along the narrow cobbled streets you can imagine yourself back in the 16th or 17th century. The village is kept in first class order, and the pan-tiled houses with their crow-step gables have been sympathetically restored. There is plenty to see and do for both adults and children, and if time is short I would suggest that your priority is The Palace (built between 1597 and 1611) which was the home of Sir George Bruce, an enterprising merchant and coal baron. Its original interiors feature some magnificent painted woodwork and ceilings, and it has mediaeval gardens to the rear. The Palace has its own first class tea rooms, and ‘The Red Lion‘, a local pub, has an excellent restaurant with a varied and very reasonably priced menu. Limekilns and Charlestown although not on the same scale as Culross are also both picturesque coastal villages, with their own character and history, and are well worthy of a visit, especially in the summer months. There is a good selection of beer and meals available at the ‘Ship Inn’ in Limekilns, and ‘The Elgin Hotel’ in Charleston is also worth a visit.

There was a time 40 years ago and more when fashionable people were usually portrayed with a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other. In those days, people didn’t mind if you had tobacco or alcohol on your breath. Then the health risks of drinking and smoking became better known. As individuals, communities, and government organizations moved to limit smoking and drinking, smoke and alcohol odors became less desirable and often abhorrent. These days it’s not unusual to see an anti-smoking commercial make its point by showing how spouses and dates are repulsed by the smell of a cigarette. Additionally, continually tightening drunk driving laws and the work of activist groups have sometimes turned anyone with beer on their breath into a suspect. The modern movement toward better health and safety is certainly good and warranted. But what about the millions of North Americans who like to smoke or enjoy a drink once in a while? As independent adults, they don’t endanger others or live irresponsibly. So why should these “regular” Americans and Canadians have to worry about the smell of smoke or alcohol on their breath? The solution can be challenging. Fortunately, new advancements in the laboratory have created a highly effective breath freshener that effectively eliminates the smell of tobacco and smoke on your breath. More on that in a moment. In the past you could pop a few breath mints that did little more than try to cover up the alcohol or smoke on your breath. Anyone who came in contact with you immediately knew you had been smoking or drinking and had tried to mask it with mints. That in itself could lead to embarrassment. The resulting problems ranged from a spouse who didn’t want to share a kiss at the end of the evening to a boss who mistakenly thought you drank one too many over lunch. Even though you had acted responsibly and legally, you could be punished just because of the smell of your breath. The new breath freshener uses a specially developed combination of natural ingredients, the active of which is chlorophyll. This plant-derived chemical effectively removes odors. Mind you, it doesn’t attempt to cover up the smell like a mint does — this new freshener ELIMINATES the odor at its source. Moreover, this new breed of breath lozenges lets you eat an onion-filled hamburger, chow down on Mexican food, or enjoy spicy foods for lunch — all while quickly eliminating any odor on your breath before returning to work. So don’t feel like you have to limit your enjoyable activities simply because what others may smell on your breath. Give yourself the big break you deserve and make use of this new development in breath freshening lozenges. from https://allofbeer.wordpress.com/2017/04/22/how-to-get-rid-of-alcohol-and-cigarette-breath-to-improve-business-and-life/
Football equals Party, no other sport is so related to a party. Superbowl weekend attracts no American like any other sport event can. So its no wonder that many people don’t care if they don’t even get inside the stadium, having a tailgate party would be enough. A TV showing the action could spark the emotions in people just like watching the game itself. When you say tailgate party the first thing that comes to mind is football and beer. But anyone could do that. To make a party that everyone remembers is to make a party that’s a cut above the rest. The first thing to consider is having a party that’s extremely comfortable. That includes having a party that’s insect free. Insects can be a nuisance when your having fun, its not enough that they’re irritating, they have to get into the food. There’s no other party spoiler as devastating as the invasion of insects. They get into the food and ruin everything else This is a party buster that can ruin a heck of a good time. There are certain measures that a good tailgate host can do to make a party error and pest free. One of the most reliable insect control innovations is having the electronic insect zapper. They emit a sound and light that’s attuned to the insects and diverts its attention to the device and away from the party. Usually, this is battery powered and emits a light that’s virtually extremely attractive to insects. Once they get near, they get zapped with a small electrical discharge that eliminates the insects and pests. There are also some innovative scientific insect control gadgets that rely on sound waves that deflect the incoming wave of ants. Ants can be the bane of any outdoor party. Just leave a dish uncovered and you could find a swarm of ants covering it. Fight fire with fire. Innovative small spurting canisters emit controlled fire to eliminate pests and insects. Take out your mini tank and extinguish the insects and pests that can eventually ruin your party. Just do this before your guests arrive. But most importantly, keep your food properly enclosed. Closing it eliminates the escape of scent, which attracts the insects and pests. If they don’t know there’s a treat for them, they wont bother you. Prevention is still the best control over pests and insects. The next time you plan a party or picnic, make use of odor-free, no leakage food containers. Also keep that insect at a distance and away from the food. Don’t let your parties ruined by a bunch of insects. The internet is still your best source for the newest insect control innovation. from https://allofbeer.wordpress.com/2017/04/22/getting-to-know-more-about-the-newest-insect-control-innovation-making-your-tailgate-party-insect-free/
The road to the Sivory Punta Cana is pretty bumpy and the taxi fare isn’t cheap, somewhere between $60-$80 depending on whether you use a taxi or a van, although having said that it was really only the last few miles We stayed in a deluxe junior suite with a plunge pool, which extremely well laid out and furnished. It had all the usual smellies in what was an awesome bathroom. It had a giant tub, a two person shower, which I had always wanted to try!! The hotel grounds were beautifully landscaped and maintained, and there was a superb spa and gym. We liked the pool, and the pool area, but feel it necessary to point out one or two things that stops the Sivory Punta Cana from being one of the best small luxury resorts in the Caribbean. Firstly the food isn’t that fantastic, although there are items that aren’t on the menu that they will make, but only if you ask. The menu is limited, and the items like lobster are in fact extremely good, but very pricey. This may be a good reason for taking the all inclusive option, because not only can you have the better items, your drinks are of course also included. Add to this the fact that room service is free on all inclusive. It is important to understand that if you are paying for individual items, there is a 26% tax to add to the price. On a $12 pina colada, this makes it $16!! Whilst the minibar is free, and it contains beer coke and water, they won’t replenish it unless you ask, and you are wasting your time asking the housekeeping staff.. Check your final bill carefully, because we had items added we didn’t have. For instance our transport didn’t appear when we went home, and we had to pay a taxi, b ut it was already an item on my bill!! Finally if you like lots of action then The Sivory Punta Cana isn’t the place for you. There is nothing to do here, it’s miles from anywhere, and it has no nightclub, so just relax and unwind. We thankfully ignored the The Sivory Punta Cana reviews, we had a great time, the staff were wonderful, it is a great Caribbean hideaway, and with a bit of care it could be one of the leading small luxury resorts in the Caribbean.

1 1/2 quarts canola oil In a deep pot, preheat the cooking oil to 345 degrees F. Thoroughly mix 4 cups of the flour, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic, and 1 teaspoon onion. reserving 2 cups of mixture for dredging. Add beer to mixture, whisking to form lump-free, smooth batter. Batter should resemble pancake batter – thick enough to coat fish well. Cut the fish into 3 to 4 ounce strips and pat dry using paper towels. Combine the remaining flour and seasoning to dredge the fish. Dip cod strips into reserved flour and remaining seasoning mix, coating completely. Then dip breaded strips into batter, shaking off any excess. Gently place battered fish strips into hot oil. Turn fish when batter is set and cook until golden brown, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from oil and drain well. Serve fish over chips with remoulade on the side. Garnish with lemon crown and chopped parsley. Salt and malt vinegar to taste. Chips In deep pot, preheat the oil to 275 degrees F. Cut potatoes lengthwise, about 1/2 x 1/2 x 3 inches. Soak in ice bath and rinse thoroughly to remove starch from potatoes. Strain potatoes and dry thoroughly. Gently place dried potatoes in hot oil, cook approximately 3 to 4 minutes, until texture is rubbery and potatoes are beginning to brown. Remove potatoes from oil and drain well. Turn oil temperature up to 360 degrees F. Once oil has reached 360 degrees F, place blanched potatoes back into oil and cook until golden brown, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Drain potatoes and season well. Hold in 200 degree F oven to keep warm. Remoulade Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and mix to a smooth consistency. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
