			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">If your vacation time is about to start, but you have not yet decided where to spend your holiday, why do not you try to do <span style="color: #0070c0;"><a href="http://www.fasttrackski.co.uk/" target="_blank">ski holidays</a></span>? Ski is a famous sport in many countries, especially countries that have winter. Since ski is played in a snowy area, there are only few places where we can play ski. But even if not all places can be used to play ski, it does not mean that the cost to spend a vacation to play ski is expensive. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Actually if you want to have a cheap vacation, not necessary have to be ski holiday, but for all kind of holiday, you do not have to join any vacation packages offered by some travel agents, this is because you will also have to pay the fee for the travel agents, beside that when you are joining a vacation package, you will have to stick with their tight schedule, and you are not free to choose the place that you want to visit. Therefore, for you who have low budget but high desire to travel, try to become a backpacker. You will be more involved with the local’s life and I believe your vacation will be more meaningful.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">To play your trip use the internet and make a research about the place you want to visit, or you can buy many travelling guide book that will help you a lot in planning your vacation trip. This can also be applied for you who want to go for cheap ski holidays.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you are using a book, video, a real live human, or online lessons, keep these pointers in mind in order to get the most out our your studies.</p>
<p>1. Complete and master each section before moving on to the next: As you work through your studies make sure you have each new technique or idea conquered before moving on to the next. Lessons are planned to build upon each other and trying to rush through without fully understanding one will just lead to frustration and wasted efforts.</p>
<p>2. Study as if you were in school. Do some homework every night. If all you have is 15 minutes then use those 15 minutes. If you don’t have time to read/watch and apply then do the application of your last lesson or drills such as scales and chords. Reading/watching and not having the opportunity to apply immediately will usually mean you have to relearn your lesson. Take notes. Especially if you’re watching a video or working with a human. Also don’t be afraid to write all over your workbooks and sheet music.</p>
<p>3. Apply what you’ve learned: Play for others. Your church, your family, that spare piano sitting in your favorite department store (ask first). Nothing drives a music lesson home better than a recital. It will also magnify what you need to work on.</p>
<p>These tips work whether your a child or an adult. Learning to play an instrument is a wonderful activity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanksgiving Day is a Holiday rooted in rich history. Here are some very fun and interesting Thanksgiving facts to share during Thanksgiving dinner.</p>
<p>*Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States.</p>
<p>*Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the second Monday in October in Canada.</p>
<p>*The pilgrims arrived in North America in December 1620.</p>
<p>*The Pilgrims sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to reach North America.</p>
<p>*The pilgrims sailed on the ship, which was known by the name of &#8216;Mayflower&#8217;.</p>
<p>*The Wampanoag Indians were the people who taught the Pilgrims how to cultivate the land.</p>
<p>*The drink that the Puritans brought with them in the Mayflower was beer.</p>
<p>*By the fall of 1621 only half of the pilgrims, who had sailed on the Mayflower, survived. The survivors, thankful to be alive, decided to give a thanksgiving feast.<br />
They celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day at Plymouth, Massachusetts. <span id="more-202"></span></p>
<p>*The Pilgrim leader, Governor William Bradford organized the Thanksgiving feast and invited the neighboring Wampanoag Indians also to the feast.</p>
<p>*The first Thanksgiving celebration lasted three days.</p>
<p>* At the first harvest celebration with the pilgrims and Native Americans, &#8220;fowl&#8221; was eaten. While this might have been turkey, it&#8217;s more likely to have been geese and ducks.</p>
<p>* A mature turkey has 3,500 feathers. Turkey feather were used by Native Americans to stabilize arrows.</p>
<p>* Turkeys have lived in North America for 10 million years</p>
<p>*There was no milk, cheese, bread, butter or pumpkin pie at the original Thanksgiving Day feast.</p>
<p>*The cranberry got its name because the pale pink blossoms on the plant resembled a crane&#8217;s head and neck. The name craneberry stuck, eventually becoming cranberry.</p>
<p>*Ben Franklin liked the Turkey so much he wanted it to be the official bird of the US.</p>
<p>*A male turkey is called a (tom). The female is called a (hen). The babies are called poults.</p>
<p>*Only male (tom) turkeys gobble. Females (hen) make a clicking noise. The famous gobble is actually a seasonal mating call.</p>
<p>* A tom&#8217;s gobble can be heard a mile away.</p>
<p>*A hen lays around 115 eggs a month which take about 28 days to hatch.</p>
<p>*Turkeys are known to spend the night in trees!</p>
<p>*Domesticated turkeys cannot fly. Wild turkeys however, can run 20 miles per hour and fly up to 55 miles per hour.</p>
<p>*Turkeys can drown if they look up when it&#8217;s raining!</p>
<p>*A group of turkeys is called a flock.</p>
<p>*Currently over 670 million turkeys are eaten at Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>*A turkey under 16 weeks of age is called a fryer. A five to seven month old turkey is called a roaster.</p>
<p>*The largest turkey on record was 86 pounds.</p>
<p>*The average person consumes 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving Day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people know venetian blinds as the slatted plastic strips with cords that are always tangled. These are quite difficult to clean and can make a room appear messy and shabby just by being tangled or crooked.</p>
<p>Blinds with plastic slats are out in modern interior design. Decorators often choose anodized aluminum and silver blinds for a modern window with minimalist effect. Nowadays, the variety of available venetian blinds includes a range of different designs, textures, and colors. Presently, manufacturers are producing blinds in fresh colors and interesting textures either by anodizing, painting, or coating the slats. The black blinds that were the rage in the 90s&#8217;modern trend and the neutral beiges of industrial looks are now considered boring and outdated. Plus, expert designers agree that these colors only make a room drab and impersonal. However, these blinds are still worth keeping if you would invest in special lighting treatments, bulbs, and dimmers. The light treatments can soften the starkness of the blinds.</p>
<p>But why waste money on lights when you can update your rooms by just choosing the right blinds for your rooms? The new, brighter neons will look perfectly retro paired with 60s&#8217; and 70s&#8217; memorabilias and designs. Colors like metallic bronze, gold and silver blinds are hot and will add instant glow and glam in any room. Rather than putting black or white venetian blinds for a wood paneled office, richer and more luxurious colors like deep wine or burgundy are advised. Brown and olive blinds are deemed best for earth toned rooms. Industrial spaces like offices look sleeker and more updated with blinds of celadon or cherry red.<span id="more-185"></span></p>
<p>If the more adventurous and bolder colors are not your style, you can still update your blinds by choosing different textures. Wooden slats are good for Asian-inspired or bohemian-themed rooms. Leather covered slats look sleek and collected for offices. Plastics are still okay for uplifting the retro vibes. If your rooms still look dated, the problem might not be the color or texture of your blinds. If you&#8217;re still using vertical blinds, especially those that are floor-length, then you&#8217;ve found the culprit. These venetian blinds look unfashionable and outdated. Aside from being mostly same in color, they look impersonal. They also interfere with other decorative accents like statues or sculptures. If you&#8217;re still saving up to replace vertical blinds, putting sheer curtains or drapes will do the trick. Another outdated blind is the mini-blind though they still function as shades for small windows. Minimize old-fashioned vibes by buying vibrantly colored mini-blinds.</p>
<p>Hand-painted decors are the ultimate fashion statements in terms of window treatment and venetian blinds use this technique. The slats on these blinds form part of a bigger picture when shut. These are more popular in Chinatowns and indie shops. As a result, most of the themes these blinds are of Asian or boho flair. These make for great accent pieces or as a surprise element in any room. Try any one of these tricks and watch your rooms come to life with new window personalities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buying canvas paintings these days is seen as a rarity since more and more people are opting for the cheaper replicas of original paintings that are printed out on tarpaulin sheets and framed. These cheap knockoffs of original artwork do not last a lifetime and fade when constantly exposed to the elements like dust, sunlight, and air. Modern art on canvas should be considered something of an investment and a keepsake that you can pass down through the generations as something from this era. Like the paintings of the masters were passed down to this generation, so should these modern art pieces be passed on to the next generations to come.</p>
<p>Decorating your home with cheap knock-offs of certain paintings that you like or posters of paintings that you feel will make your home look good is fine if only for a little while. These things do not last and will soon fade away, and you will find yourself buying another poster or printout of another copy of real canvas paintings to replace the faded ones you have.<span id="more-17"></span></p>
<p>Why not consider buying the real thing instead and have something you can give to your children when they move to their own homes or when they grow up? There are a lot of modern art on canvas that are well painted and will be welcome additions to any home.</p>
<p>Buying paintings for your home is a sound investment since oil paintings rarely fade with exposure and time. If they do fade, they can be easily restored by experts who know how to handle oil paintings. Modern art on canvas can be your choice for canvas paintings that you can hand down to your next of kin, although there are other paintings styles you can choose from.</p>
<p>Modern art is a good depiction of our times and the prevalent artistic style that artists of this generation use. The different kinds of modern art you can choose from include pop art, modern abstract pieces, <a href="http://comixnow.com/">unique</a> silhouette and figure paintings, realistic-looking still life, and modern landscapes and seascapes. The many types of modern art on canvas you can choose for your home may confuse you as to which kind you will choose to buy.</p>
<p>Since these are all lovely canvas paintings that will look good in any room of your home or even in your office, you can opt for any of the above-mentioned modern art paintings. You might even consider buying one of those multi canvas paintings that look so good on the wall of any home or office. These multi canvas paintings can also be seen in various styles like abstract, flower paintings, pop art paintings, and even in landscape paintings. When choosing modern art on canvas to pass on to the next generation, you will need to think that you are passing on something valuable and well worth receiving should you be the recipient yourself. You can also choose to buy more than one art piece if you have a liking for art and if you are looking to create a collection that you can keep until the time when you will be passing it on to your children and your children’s children.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can you draw a straight line? Most adults don’t consider themselves artistic. Parents do, however, worry about their toddler’s art abilities. As a child care provider for the past 10 years, I’ve had many discussions with parents about ‘how their toddler is doing’ as far as getting ready for preschool or kindergarten. They worry a lot about the final product of their toddler’s art projects. I try to explain to them that art is not just knowing how to draw a flower or a puppy, or whether or not little Jason colors in the lines. Little kids need to experience self-expression and the ‘doing of art’ more than having a page from a coloring book to hang on the refrigerator.</p>
<p>When a two-year old puts his chubby little hand in a tub of finger paint and happily smears all of the colors together on the paper or when he makes yet another ‘snowman’ out of play-doh, he’s creating. Granted, he will certainly tell you that his painting is his dad’s truck even though you ‘just can’t see it.’ The important thing to remember is that by allowing our little kids to experience art in their own way, we let them show us how they see the world around them, how they feel and think.<span id="more-22"></span></p>
<p>I always enjoy art time with my toddler and preschool age groups. Yeah, they can make a mess, but they just wiggle with excitement when I take out the ‘arts &amp; crafts’ tub of supplies! Having been a military wife and lived in a few different places, I’ve always returned to providing home day care. As a result, I’ve had to make do with whatever space I can find in the various homes we’ve lived in. There’s not always a lot of room, but art can take place just about anywhere. I’ve found that the activity is most effective when it’s pre-planned and when I’ve set goals for the activity.</p>
<p>Art is important for toddlers because of the way it makes little kids feel special and good about themselves. When your toddler finishes a magazine cut-out collage and holds up his masterpiece to you with that beaming smile doesn’t that make you feel good about both of you? Through creating simple art projects, that same toddler is not only learning to take pride in his accomplishments, but also to think and refine his hand-eye coordination and physical skills. Through art, children learn to identify colors, cause-and-effect, shapes, problem solving, sharing and cooperation among many other skills.</p>
<p>Parents must remember to ask toddlers or preschoolers questions about their projects that will make them think about what they’ve made rather than ask them ‘What is that?’ For example, ‘C.J., tell Mommy about your painting.’ C.J will start to talk about his work or anything else he feels important at the time! This also shows your child that you are interested in what he thinks and aren’t’ just confused about what you see! Make sure to hang the art work up in a prominent place in your home so the entire family can enjoy it.</p>
<p>Art experiences are a major part of a toddler’s daily activities. They have grown enough to grasp objects and tear paper and hold crayons and brushes. Naturally they are thrilled with the anticipation of a new art project, and most importantly, with the quality time spent with the important adults in his/her life.</p>
