What to Do on the Internet?

It's a paradox, the Internet is so vast that often users can become jaded.[copied from Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox) A paradox can be an apparently true statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or a situation which defies intuition; or it can be, seemingly opposite, an apparent contradiction that actually expresses a non-dual truth (cf. Koan). Typically, either the statements in question do not really imply the contradiction, the puzzling result is not really a contradiction, or the premises themselves are not all really true or cannot all be true together. The word paradox is often used interchangeably with contradiction. Often, mistakenly, it is used to describe situations that are ironic.]Here, Article Critics presents a selection of links and information about cheap, low cost holidays in Malta.

Malta Cruise and Low Cost Flight Destination

Cruise ships are including Valletta in Malta as a Mediterranean destination more often as part of an overall itineary, and it's come at a time when the island is seeing record numbers of people visiting for a holiday by air - the combination could lead to 2008 being a record year for Malta holidays.Malta is a small and densely-populated island nation comprising an archipelago of seven islands in the Mediterranean Sea. A country of Southern Europe, Malta lies south of Sicily, east of Tunisia, and north of Libya. The country's official languages are Maltese and English.Most people drive their cars on the left side of the road and sometimes give way to the right at road junctions.Only the three largest islands Malta Island (Malta), Gozo (Ghawdex), and Comino (Kemmuna) are inhabited. Each island has different characteristics and no holiday would be complete without visiting them all. Bus routes are extensive and generally run on-time, people are friendly and the crime rate is low.Tourism makes up a large part of the Maltese economy, although an emerging electronics industry is growing fast.

All About the Perfect Fishing Escapade

noreply@blogger.com (Liberated-Press-Releases) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 17:22:00 +0000

The Number of Times Tips For Planning A Perfect Fishing Trip A
Liberated Article Has Been Read Is: 18

The Author of This Liberated Article Is: Dan
O'Connor

ARTICLE SUMMARY: Planning a perfect fishing trip isn't as easy as loading
your tackle box into the car and setting off in the direction of water. Here's
some tips on how to plan a sucessful fishing trip.

Tips For Planning A Perfect Fishing Trip

Planning a perfect fishing trip isn't as easy as loading your tackle box into
the car and setting off in the direction of water. You need to really define
what exactly you want in your fishing experience and plan accordingly.

There's lots to consider when planning your trip and even more so if you are
planning a trip with buddies or for your family. Not everyone has the same idea
when it comes to the perfect fishing trip and a little bit of planning can help
make it a trip everyone can enjoy.

Here's some things to consider for your next fishing trip:

Catching That Perfect Fish

Before you can catch the perfect fish you have to decide which species of fish
you want to go for. While some people love trout others might be avid bass
fisherman. Since bass are found in warm waters and trout in cold waters, someone
might be disappointed if you did not consider the type of fish before picking a
location.

Deciding on what type of fish you want to catch narrows down your destinations
for you a bit which can help in further planning. Don't worry though, there's
plenty of places to go no matter which type of fish you are angling for!

Size Or Quantity?

Some anglers like to catch fish after fish after fish. They aren't happy unless
they are reeling them in and size isn't really that important, although there's
always that hope that the next nibble could be a big one. Others are only
interested in catching the big fish in the pond and will sit patiently all day
waiting for him to give a nibble.

While there are many places that offer an opportunity for both types of fishing,
this should be discussed beforehand so that each member of the trip can be sure
they are getting the type of fishing they enjoy.

Fishing Style

One other thing to consider is the method you will use to catch the fish. Will
you be wading into streams? Trolling? Deep sea fishing? Each one is a different
experience and many people have their preference. Make sure your group agrees on
a method of fishing and that the destination you are thinking about offers that
type of fishing.

Cost
As with anything, what you can afford will largely impact what you can get for
your fishing vacation

You need to get together with your group and decide what you can spend. Perhaps
you will have to make some compromises such as sleeping in a tent instead of a
cabin so you can afford a couple days with a good local guide.

The hard part here is getting everyone in the group to agree on how much to
spend and where to put the bulk of the money. One way to save money is to do
your own cooking or have everyone in the group bring a frozen dish along (enough
to feed everyone) and you'll have free meals for several nights.

When planning your trip, don't forget about shower and bathroom facilities -
especially if this is a family trip. If you have opted for camping, the showers
and bathrooms will be community so you will have to share. A cabin on the other
hand will provide some privacy.

So, if you really want a great fishing trip, start by planning just exactly what
you want out of the trip and how much you are willing to spend. Do it right and
you can have the fishing trip of a lifetime.

Provence Virtual Road Trip, France

noreply@blogger.com (Liberated-Press-Releases) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:04:00 +0000

A Provençal Road Trip - Avignon to the Camargue

Destinations - European DestinationsWritten by Passepartout

Of all the areas of France, Provence is the most irresistible, and Western Provence is one of the most delightful and diverse parts of the region, long popular with tourists for its stunning and colourful landscape, relaxed lifestyle and rich and varied history. Highlights of the region are the Roman cities of Orange , Vaison-la-Romaine , Carpentras and Arles , and the papal city of Avignon, with its brilliant summer festival. Aix-en-Provence is the mini-Paris of the region and was home to Cézanne, for whom the Mont Ste-Victoire was an enduring subject, while St-Rémy and Arles have strong links with Van Gogh. Around the Rhône delta, the Camargue is a unique self-contained region, as different from the rest of Provence as it is from anywhere else in France.
This road trip, from the one of the region’s most charming old towns to the stunning flamingo-filled lagoons of the Camargue, is short in length - about 80km - but each of its stops is worthy of several days of exploration!
It begins in the heart of the Vaucluse region, in the lovely city of Avignon, home of the celebrated Palais des Papes (Popes' Palace) and the famous bridge of Pont St Bénezet (the bridge in the ditty ‘Sur le pont d'Avignon'). It continues to the Roman city of Arles, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, Arles has wonderful churches and some impressive Roman monuments, including an arena which is still used for Provencal-style bullfights today. At Arles, the Rhône divides itself in two arms, forming the unique and Camargue delta. The capital of the Camargue is the seaside resort of Saintes Maries-de-la-Mer, a town with a romantic history and a very strong Romany tradition. Read more...

Confessions From a Confused Politician

Historically, prime ministers are often referred to as Primus inter pares,
a Latin term translated as first among equals, equals among peoples, and which
reflects the original concept of a prime minister as merely the first minister
or most senior minister to the monarch, not the dominant or presiding
minister, a role later assumed by many prime ministers in many states.

There is more to Australia than just the beauty of its wildlife and landscape
though; the land that has a rich cultural history boasts an even richer present
for those who want a taste of life here. The people are friendly and energetic,
and the world of sports is regularly rattled by their characteristic gritty and
aggressive sportsmen; Ian Thorpe, and Leyton Hewitt, are just two examples of
the Aussie sportsmen but we can not forget their team sports either. Top of the
line, is what sums up the land and its people.

Here you will find two great articles celebrating the diverse nature and
adventurous opportunities Australian's enjoy everyday.

Queensland Bareboat Excitement and Adventure

For
the adventurous it is the remoteness, for the romantic it is a private beach,
for the exhausted sitting by the pool with a good book and their favourite
drink. Holidays represent so many different things to a world of different
people. Rarely is there a holiday experience that satisfies the myriad of the
human senses than “bareboat charter” in the Whitsunday Islands situated off
the north east coast of Queensland Australia.

"Bareboat Charter" is a somewhat confusing term. Simply put it is
the hiring of a boat with no crew, that's right, your it.

In times past this style of holiday experience appealed most to the amateur
yachtsman who longed for the wind in his hair and the spray in his face
harnessing the power of nature to reach his destination. Conditions were sparse
and cramped just the way he liked it.

The advent of the modern day power yachts or "motor cruiser" has
changed all that to the point where a complete novice with little to no
experience may also treat himself to this unique holiday. Our adventure began
with the hire of a Coastal46 Cruiser from Anchors Away Bareboat Charters who
work out of Abel Point Marina at Airlie Beach North Queensland.

Sydney Harbour Joys and Touring Tips

Aside from the thrill of going out to see the Sydney Harbour, from a Sydney
local's point of view, there are actually 4 top practical and sure-fire ways to
enjoy Sydney Harbour. The first way to enjoy Sydney Harbour is to just walk
around it. To do this, one has to get down to a train session called Circular

Flying Pigs Alarmed at New UK Statistics Authority

Freedom of UK Public Statistics From Political Pressure

The News - Latest NewsWritten by Jack

The new UK Statistics Authority comes into existence today (April Fools Day 2008). It is an independent body, with powers and the obligation to promote, improve, and safeguard official statistics across the UK. Its aim is to rebuild public trust in Government statistics.

There is a general perception that statistical knowledge is all-too-frequently intentionally misused, by finding ways to interpret the data that are favorable to the presenter. A famous saying attributed to Benjamin Disraeli is, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." And Harvard President Lawrence Lowell wrote in 1909 that statistics, "like veal pies, are good if you know the person that made them, and are sure of the ingredients."

"About time" was the immediate reaction from The Tea Musk Times, "Statistics quoted by politicians and political pressure groups are often heavily weighted in favour of their own prejudices and agendas.

If this new drive for honesty and openness can be really believed on "April Fools Day"... TMT gives its full support and will watch closely how things progress".

The new Publication Hub will list each day's new National Statistics releases from all Government Departments as they are published at 9:30 am daily. There will in each case be an electronic link to the relevant page of each Department's website. The hub will therefore permit direct access to the statistical releases produced by statisticians in Departments, without political commentary. This is an interim version of the UK Statistics Authority's Publication Hub which is currently under development.

War Cost More... a LOT More

The News - Latest Articles

Written by Jack C Tickler

The costs of military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq DURING 2008 are
likely to almost double to £3.3bn.

Armed Forces Minister Bob Ainsworth told the BBC: "The threat
changes... We have to stay ahead of the enemy as much as we can and that's not
cheap."

Liberal Democrat defence spokesman Nick Harvey said: "This clearly
shows how the Iraq war is continuing

to bleed our finances dry, leaving soldiers in Afghanistan overstretched and
under-equipped."

is 1 MILLION, MILLION... I wonder which BILLION the BBC is reporting?

Bullied by Moronic Joomla "Experts"

noreply@blogger.com (Liberated-Press-Releases) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 13:12:00 +0000

A Solution for Developing Joomla Templates Using Microsoft FrontPage
Written by Jack
The Reason Why - I Don't Like Being Bullied by Moronic Joomla "Experts"

A couple of weeks ago I posted a question to one of the many Joomla help forums:"Is it possible to develop Joomla templates using Microsoft FrontPage as the main WYSIWYG editor?
Does anyone have any helpful tips or suggestions to help with this project?"

Well, to my dismay I was bombarded with "flame" after "flame" replies in the forum. It seems there's a lot of Joomla designers out there who absolutely HATE the idea of Microsoft, Microsoft FrontPage, HTML table code and (in there esteemed, unenlightened opinion) ANYONE stupid enough to consider building a Joomla template using ANY Microsoft product.

I replied to first person's vile response by explaining that I have been using FP for over twelve years. I know it has limitations and faults. However, it was one of the first programs that allowed web developers to actually see what the web page under development actually looks like while data was being inputted. This speeded up the whole development process and probably aided the growth of the Internet as a whole.

FrontPage was designed to interact with all of the Microsoft Office Programs and that probably accounts for many of the perceived bugs user often come up against.

This (reasonable and polite) comment was met with absolute derision and outright hostility by many of the forum members. Not only did the forum replies become far more abusive, someone also did a bit of research and found my email address. They then began an email spam campaign of such intensity that I had to close the email account down.

So be warned; so called "Joomla Support Forums" can be dangerous places to ask innocent questions about FrontPage, unless you intend to trash the software and anyone using it.

OK... This is MY RESPONSE

The V sign, when the palm is facing toward the person giving the sign, has long been an insulting gesture in England and later in the rest of the United Kingdom, as well as in Ireland and parts of France. It is frequently used to signify defiance (especially to authority), contempt or derision and is often accompanied by the phrase 'fuck off'.

Project: Joomla Template Build Using FrontPage and Other Software

Introduction
Proving a point can work out to be expensive and ultimately produce worthless results. Therefore; this project will only use resources freely available to the author and aim to publish a fully working, interesting and hopefully profitable web site.

1. A new sub domain of http://www.jackchosting.com/ (my reseller account at HostGator) was setup and a default install of Joomla was uploaded to http://www.teamusk.com/ (an unused domain from years ago).
2. The aim of the Tea Musk site is to present controversial headlines of current events. This is actually an old idea, revamped for this project, as it does present some unusual coding problems.
3. Make the site user friendly and allow visitor participation.
4. Reduce maintenance of the site to the absolute minimum.

One Month Later - A Screenshot from The Tea Musk Times

From an idea born out of desperation the Tea Musk web site has turned out to be a good laugh.

The whole project is now live and be viewed here:
Support Forum for Uploading Ripped Headlines This forum enables users to upload their own Ripped Headline image for inclusion in the Tea Musk headline rotation program. This is a free service anyone can use. The Tea Musk support team will help anyone struggling to make a headline image. Just ask; it's free and a lot of fun. Make the headlines that SHOULD have been published! It's FREE so, give it a go!

Tax is ALWAYS Taxing

noreply@blogger.com (Liberated-Press-Releases) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 12:27:00 +0000

TAX THEM BACK TO THE STONE AGE

The Curtis LeMay phrase "bomb them back into the Stone Age" implies a fierce attack that utterly destroys its target's infrastructure, forcing its survivors to revert to primitive technology in order to survive.

UK political parties might not use the phrase "tax them back to the Stone Age" in public, but there does seem to be an increasing alliance between the Government and Opposition Parties to use taxation as the ultimate weapon of choice to fight modern social ills. Small time "one issue" pressure groups, PR companies and lobbyists all contribute to the political panic "tax action plan", because not to act or tax is seen as a weakness.

Meanwhile, recent revelations that ONE POINT SEVEN BILLION POUNDS (£1,700,000,000) of taxpayers money has been overpaid to General Practitioners and mostly used to "top-up" personal wages has dropped out of the headlines.

Billion may refer to either of two numbers: 1,000,000,000 (number), one thousand million or 1,000,000,000,000 (number), one million, million. No clear guidance has yet been given regarding which billion has been used in the over payment of GPs.

Researchers have found even primitive man had to pay a high rate of tax on each "kill" brought back to camp, sometimes up to 95% of the meat would be taken from him. Modern man has around 48% of earnings taken either at source or by stealth taxes, but don't worry; politicians are working hard to retrograde your standard of living back to Stone Age levels.

Amalfi: History, Spectacular Scenery and Attractions

Destinations - European Destinations

Written by Passaporto

Amalfi
is the main town of the Costiera Amalfitana, the spectacular stretch of
coastline on the southern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula of Italy. The first
view of the town is unforgettable, with its tightly packed pastel-coloured
villas and palaces clinging to the cliffside and steep alleyways and steps that
wind down from the higher part of the town into the fishing port and shingle
beach below. An independent republic from the seventh century until 1075, Amalfi
rivalled Pisa and Genoa for prosperity and maritime importance, and its golden
age is symbolised by its stunning cathedral: its Arab-Norman facade dominates
the Piazza Duomo, the unofficial town centre that is always pulsating with
people. Today it is an important tourist destination together with other towns
on the same coast, and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The Amalfi coast is famed for its production of Limoncello liqueur and
home-made paper used throughout Italy for wedding invitations, visiting cards
and elegant writing paper.

Destinations - European Destinations

Written by Passaporto

The
Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana) from Sorrento to Salerno is
one of Europe's most beautiful stretches of coastline, and the scenic corniche
road that winds precariously along it, is justly famous as one of the world's
most hair-raising and most scenic motoring experiences.

From the East, the Amalfi Drive begins at Salerno, one of
the most active ports of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The city's historical and cultural
tradition dates back to Roman times, and it was the seat of the oldest
university in Europe, the Schola Medica Salernitana. In more modem times it is
best remembered for the Allied troops landing on its beaches, during the second
world war. Salerno isn't a tourist town, but it's a very sociable and lively
place with plenty of street life and an intriguing choice of eating places, and
makes a good base to explore Mediterranean culture and the fascinating
landscapes of the Amalfi Coast. While in the area, a must-see to the east of
Salerno is Paestum, which is one of the most important archaeological sites in
the county, containing see some of the best preserved Greek ruins, architecture
and monuments.

After leaving Salerno, the Amalfi drive passes through Vietri sul
Mare, a lovely seaside town famous for its handmade ceramic tiles and
pottery, before reaching the bustling resort of Maiori and the
small picturesque town of Minori.

Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul
360° panoramic image showing the south side of the church, surrounding countryside and village. A line of ancient tombstones is visible in the first few frames; if you use the plus key to zoom in some names and details become readable.
This panorama used 12 portrait images taken using a homemade pano-head and a Pentax digital camera. Probably, NOT one of my best 360's due to over exposure and low winter sunlight. However, I also took some great still shots with almost perfect exposure of the church and a patch of wonderfully colourful snowdrops and early bulbs.

LeMay Would be Proud - Stone Age Tax Agenda - Controlling Society Through Direct and Indirect... Government, Them, Taxes, Which, Back AskJack Free Interesting Stuff

Controlling Society Through Direct and Indirect Taxation
Today's Ripped Headline has really been "in the making" for quite a while.
Using taxation as a tool to control social attitudes and consumption has never worked in the long-term.
Perhaps the Tories are right; NLP (same old crap) really does secretly follow a hardcore socialist agenda where ultimately, every penny earned will be taken back by the state.
The Curtis LeMay phrase "bomb them back into the Stone Age" implies a fierce attack that utterly destroys its target's infrastructure, forcing its survivors to revert to primitive technology in order to survive.
UK political parties might not use the phrase "tax them back to the Stone Age" in public, but there does seem to be an increasing alliance between the Government and Opposition Parties to use taxation as the ultimate weapon of choice to fight modern social ills.
Perhaps one day, the Great British Public will quietly sleepwalk into a "LeMay Tax Policy"... forward; back to the STONE AGE!!!

Nottingham to Edinburgh, Calling in at York and Newcastle - A Unique Online Road Trip

Written by The Laughing Camel
The Nottingham to Edinburgh online drive is an ideal place to start exploring online places to visit; particularly if you have never taken a "virtual road trip" before.
Our journey starts in Nottingham, aptly named the "Party Capital of the Midlands" due to the many pubs and clubs opened in recent years. Following the A1 north bound leads to the first waypoint at York Minster where we explore Viking history and the cathedral.
Back on the A1 we continue north until we see the signs for Newcastle, which is our second waypoint.

Then it's onward to EDINBURGH , the showcase capital of Scotland.From:

Stress Problems With Holiday and Family Vacations

noreply@blogger.com (Liberated-Press-Releases) — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 22:08:00 +0000

Reaching the Holiday Finish Line While Avoiding Burnout

Many people are so wrapped up in their job many minor illnesses are ignored or worked through, in the interest of job security or ambition.
Then when a holiday or vacation is finally taken, ALL the suppressed stress symptoms suddenly blossom.

Is it any wonder that December and January are the months when most relationships break down?

There's pressure for everyone to enjoy events and eat extreme amounts of food while consuming excessive levels of alcohol in a short time period. Relationship tensions often explode during holiday periods and many hospitals record a higher level of family-on-family violence.

Take a week to clear your work BEFORE you take time off from your job is probably the BEST tip to avoid these problems.

The information below outlines some other ways to avoid holiday stress.

So far, nobody has used the link to ask questions, which is a bit surprising. However, the actual admin panel has revealed some interesting visitor data.

It seems like most of the traffic is actually being generated by authors rather than random visits by search engine generated traffic.

I guess the live help option could be used on many web sites offering customer support. However, it doesn't seem to be working on general information web sites.

Experimenting with Publishing a Full E-Text Book

noreply@blogger.com (Liberated-Press-Releases) — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 19:13:00 +0000

LPR recently carried out a content experiment using Joomla CMS software, which involved publishing a full E-Text Book.

I was asked to search around for a suitable book, no longer in copyright; I found one of my favourite Jules Verne books from my school (1960's) reading list.

The experiment went quite well and the full book was published yesterday using the http://www.articlecritics.com/ web site.

It's really amazing to re-read the full book with an "adult" perspective. Some of the comments and actions are definitely NOT "politically correct" in today's atmosphere and will probably
pander to the denial and shame some people feel regarding the British Empire.

I guess the first few paragraphs might be cause for concern in some circles:

There was a large audience assembled on the 14th of
January, 1862, at the session of the Royal Geographical Society, No. 3
Waterloo Place, London. The president, Sir Francis M----, made an important
communication to his colleagues, in an address that was frequently interrupted
by applause.

This rare specimen of eloquence terminated with the
following sonorous phrases bubbling over with patriotism:

"England has always marched at the head of
nations" (for, the reader will observe, the nations always march at the
head of each other), "by the intrepidity of her explorers in the line of
geographical discovery." (General assent). "Dr. Samuel Ferguson, one
of her most glorious sons, will not reflect discredit on his origin."
("No, indeed!" from all parts of the hall.)

"This attempt, should it succeed" ("It will
succeed!"), "will complete and link together the notions, as yet
disjointed, which the world entertains of African cartology" (vehement
applause); "and, should it fail, it will, at least, remain on record as
one of the most daring conceptions of human genius!" (Tremendous
cheering.)

The full index of chapter links are included below; you'll have to make-your-own-mind-up regarding how relevant this is in today's enlightened society.

Introduction

Five Weeks in a Balloon or Journeys and Discoveries in Africa by
Three Englishmen is, in a measure, a satire on modern books of African travel.
So far as the geography, the inhabitants, the animals, and the features of the
countries the travellers pass over are described, it is entirely accurate. It
gives, in some particulars, a survey of nearly the whole field of African
discovery, and in this way will often serve to refresh the memory of the reader.
The mode of locomotion is, of course, purely imaginary, and the incidents and
adventures fictitious. The latter are abundantly amusing, and, in view of the
wonderful "travellers' tales" with which we have been entertained by
African explorers, they can scarcely be considered extravagant; while the
ingenuity and invention of the author will be sure to excite the surprise and
the admiration of the reader, who will find M. VERNE as much at home in voyaging
through the air as in journeying "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the
Seas."

Freedom is a Fleeting Concept

noreply@blogger.com (Liberated-Press-Releases) — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 16:44:00 +0000

The Value of Freedom
Written by Jack

King John may have altered the course of English history by indicating his agreement to sign the Magna Carta at an impromptu meeting of parliamentarians at the Old Parliament Oak located near his hunting lodge "King John's Palace".

Magna Carta required the King to renounce certain rights, respect certain legal procedures and accept that his will could be bound by the law. It explicitly protected certain rights of the king's subjects, whether free or fettered — most notably the right of Habeas Corpus, meaning that they had rights against unlawful imprisonment.

I've tried to come to terms with the present and past UK government's policy in the "War Against Terror".

Maybe King John is chuckling in his grave?

Internment
Internment is the imprisonment or confinement of people, commonly in large groups, without trial.

NOTE: Magna Carta - "most notably the right of Habeas Corpus, meaning that they had rights against unlawful imprisonment".

Concentration
No government or organization has used concentration camp to describe its own facilities, using instead terms such as internment camp, resettlement camp, detention facility, etc, regardless of the actual circumstances of the camp, which can vary a great deal.
How many people have been hanged/confined when there "rights against unlawful imprisonment" have been ignored?

Seems to me: A charter made law in 1215 should still be relevant.

The value of being "free" can only be really appreciated by a person in shackles.
Just how long can I be locked up for something I didn't do?

My Two Weeks in Crete

In reflection I should have cancelled the holiday.
My decision making process in the past few months has been far from perfect.
However, had I not come, I wouldn't have had the pleasure of my Uncle's company for a week that passed all to quickly.

I hardly saw anything of Crete, other than a few short walks and taxi rides.
John gave me a book to read called "Freedom and Death" written by Nikos Kazantzakis, which has some fantastic descriptions of how the fight for Crete's freedom was carried out in the late 1800's.

Believe me, the descendants of almost everyone describe in the book can be seen today.
Not sure if I admire "Captain Michales", but I'd sure like to have him next to me in my next firefight. Actually, the translation from Greek to English occasionally throws up some amazing sentences...

"She walked down the street as though petroleum was in her arse"

I'm assuming that the translator meant she had a bit of a hip sway going on!!!
The book is quite hard going and describes some tragic events and horrific atrocities on both sides.

I finished reading it this afternoon.

Tonight, with my first glass of wine, I toasted all the fighting Captains and the island of Crete. May it be free for ever.

History has a habit of repeating.

Invading countries or occupying nation groups will always generate extreme resistance that doesn't go away after a few weeks or years. Patriotic resistance and self sacrifice will continue for generations.

Hopefully, the lesson will be learnt when we're finally forced to withdraw our forces from Afghanistan and Iraq.

Now, on to Ireland...

It should be an united island, it's common f***ing sense, but sadly, that bag of bones will probably take another few generations to finally resolve itself.
Ireland WILL be an island united by common sense... one day.
So, just like any other package tourist.

I return to my home, vastly poorer in monetary terms, but slightly richer in my life's experiences.

SIX Ways to Format PDF Documents for Web Site Publishing

noreply@blogger.com (Liberated-Press-Releases) — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 19:42:00 +0000

Providing you or your company have invested in Adobe Acrobat, making a PDF document is easy. Microsoft Word documents, scanned sales brochure, sales letters, data sheets and a whole host of other information can be almost instantly published; with little or NO effort.

How many people do you know to have completed a PDF file making course? I'll make a guess, not that many and most probably, none.

The software is easy to use in basic mode. The results are usually acceptable at first glance. There's absolutely no reason to really learn how to get the best from the software and your CONTENT.

Making money on the Internet is not easy. Generally, you have to work harder and smarter than the competition. The free ride is over.

If you look behind the standard PDF document generation methods, you'll find a rich hidden source of web site promotion, along with document security and version tracking. Document control is becoming more important and can not be ignored. Including a document title, description and a few keywords is the very least you can do to improve your search engine exposure.

Let's work together to make the Internet a better place by making your valuable content easier to find.

Here are six easy ways to get better search engine exposure for your web published PDF content, improve security and document control.

1. PDF really should be text based.
Most document Scanners have an option to convert the scanned IMAGE into a PDF file. Search engines CAN NOT read the content when published as an IMAGE. A much better way to get better search engine listings for your PDF files is to use the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) option. Your TEXT CONTENT will then become readable to search engine spiders.

2. Use the document properties for better search engine exposure and security.

If you open a PDF document and then select:
File > Properties
You'll get an information window with tabs along the top bar:
Click the "Description" tab and then the "Additional Meta Detail" button.
The new window displays hidden fields used by search engines to rate the PDF for relevance.

This is probably THE most important upgrade you can carry out.

Yes, it will be hard work and very time consuming, but your PDF content will suddenly appear on page ONE instead of one thousand.

This window also has a security tab where you set permissions for write, print and a whole lot more.

3. Improve the TEXT content. Publishing the company sales brochure or sales leaflet will probably NOT help you beat the competition. Yes, make the PDF look good, but ALSO include as much unique TEXT content as possible. It should be fairly east to boost paragraph content without destroying the layout.

4. Use links into PDF documents. Make sure you include in-document menu links to your sub pages if the PDF covers more than three pages. Maybe even consider designing a powerful document navigation system.

5. Use outbound links to best effect and promote your HTML web site. Try to build links to your PDF content within the normal web site navigation system. If the file size is large, try to remember to warn the visitor by indicating a likely download speed of actual file size.

6. Influence How Search Engines Display Descriptions for PDF documents. If possible the first paragraph should summarise the PDF content. Search Engines will often pick this content to display under the link sentence. This is your PULL that can persuade a user to actually click the link.

Technically, making a PDF in to a search engine gateway is NOT hard.
It will take time, effort and a will to publish your information in the most effective way possible.

Designing a Restaurant Menu

When you're a start-up business with a shoe-string budget, that photocopied sheet with a simple list of your dishes was enough to get by. But as your business grows and becomes more successful, the time will eventually come when somebody says, "Isn't it time we got a more professional-looking menu?"

Yes, indeed, a full-featured, laminated menu just like the big restaurants use will definitely be necessary in most cases, if your restaurant is to be taken seriously. Even if you don't go for the large, laminated book-style folding menu, there are many alternative styles to choose from.

To get one thing out of the way right away: you are probably better off getting a professional graphics designer for this number. Designing a menu has many skills in common with designing a website, and your restaurant may not have somebody computer-savvy enough to figure out how to do it, let alone the artistic skill to make it look good!

But if you are up to the challenge, you will need: A computer with design and editing software, a separate graphics program, digital photos of servings, clip-art, and either a printer capable of high-resolution color printing or a print shop which will publish your design. If you hired a logo designer to brand-mark your signs and logos throughout your business, you'll want your company's logo on the menu as well. Oh, yes, and a spell-checker!

You'll need to design a color scheme, come up with a style and theme, decide what sections the menu will include, and plan the layout. In addition to the main menu, you may want to create place-cards or table tents advertising seasonal specials and such. There are paper and publications standards in the printing industry, with standards designated as A4, A5, and so on, so check with the printing company who will be publishing your design.

This whole project doesn't need to cost you an arm and a leg. Remember that simple, casual diners, coffee shops, cafes, and other small establishments do very good business without making a big production out of their menu. Here are some simpler design formats which almost anyone can learn to use:

HTML - Not many people think of it, but this is a document standard, after all. HTML, being the language of the World Wide Web, is capable of handling text in many sizes, layout formatting, and images. This is not recommended for fancy designs, but it can be enough to squeak by in some cases. Any web-page editing software can help you run up a layout. But there are some problems with this format: HTML can't do custom fonts because they can't display in your web browser, it isn't good at keeping pages to a size standard, and is not powerful enough to handle more demanding layouts.

PDF - This is the most commonly used standard. The Portable Document Format is widely used for all purposes throughout the printing industry. A sophisticated PDF editor can design anything from a business card to a newspaper. It uses rigid page design and the editors for PDF have all of the standard sizes selectable from the menu. It can handle any font, image, and layout you throw at it, and is also likely to be preferred by the print shop. The only downside: PDF editors are expensive. Proprietary software patents have choked out most of the competition, resulting in a highly monopolized industry.

SVG, XML - This is the second most commonly encountered standard, and in fact much of the printing industry is starting to use this format more widely. They are each capable of the full set of PDF features, and even add some new tricks that PDF can't do. SVG stands for "scalable vector graphics" and XML is the parent of HTML, being the original document mark-up language.

SVG and ML combine in the same document. SVG is not only a means of producing a document, but is a graphics language as well, so you can draw in it! Software for editing SVG and XML documents is widely available as free and open source software, and in every case the free software is at least 99% as powerful as the expensive commercial version. The only downside here is that it takes some extra learning to use and understand SVG and XML. For example, web browser have been able to render SVG and XML elements for years, and yet you don't see much of it on the Internet, because there just aren't that many people skilled enough to use it. You don't exactly have to have a computer science degree - but it won't hurt!

Whatever document format you use, you will have many considerations in planning your layout. If you use photographs, you will need to have a professional photographer to snap photos of your food and provide you with the images in digital format so you can include them in the menu. You will want to pick a font and layout consistent with your restaurant's atmosphere and your business image.

You will want it to be attractive as possible, but not be so "busy" that it is difficult to read. And using clip-art is convenient and easy, but will make your design look like a tired cliche. Using custom-made graphics, on the other hand, will require digital graphics design skills that aren't too common in the general public. You might also want to provide versions in different languages, and a braille menu for the visually impaired.

It is quite challenging for someone with little design experience to undertake this task; there is much more to design that is left out of this article. Remember that menus define your restaurant; it is the first product that your guests will get to see. Making a good impression here is important.

Hello

Checked your e-mail inbox lately?

Chances are you'll find at least two or three (probably a LOT more) messages with "get rich" promotions. Usually, these ideas start off free, but gradually suck in the gullable to send credit card details or money orders. People throughout the ages have devised ways to make an "easy living" from other peoples hardwork.

Internet scams are just the next logical step.

How can you tell if the money making offer is real or just a rip-off?

Well, one Aussie marketeer is working on cleaning up the Internet by taking direct action:

Where HAS All The Gold Gone

noreply@blogger.com (Liberated-Press-Releases) — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 18:14:00 +0000

Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from the Latin aurum) and atomic number 79. It is a highly sought-after precious metal which, for many centuries, has been used as money, a store of value and in jewelery.

The metal occurs as nuggets or grains in rocks, underground "veins" and in alluvial deposits. It is one of the coinage metals. Gold is dense, soft, shiny and the most malleable and ductile of the known metals. Pure gold has an attractive bright yellow color.

Since the beginning of recorded time, many hundreds or thousands of tons of gold have been mined and circulated. Where has it all gone? As a metal, gold doesn't rust it is very durable. Surely, somewhere there must be a huge pile of gold. A few years ago, the British government decided to sell the countries gold reserves in exchange for the new Euro currency. Did that work out? [source wikipedia.com]

Anyway, today's top article is about gold, history and uses:

The History of Gold Jewelry

Humankind has long been fascinated by the beauty of gold and since the earliest days of civilization gold has been used to adorn us in the form of jewelry. Let's take a look at how gold jewelry has been used in the various parts of the world during the last five thousand years.

The Sumerian Civilization, located in present-day Iraq, is well known as the place where one of the first systems of writing was developed. There gold was used to make necklaces earrings, rings, bracelets and other ornaments as early as 2500 BC.

Sumerian goldsmiths used sophisticated metalworking techniques such as cold hammering, casting, soldering, and were particularly skilled in decorating with filigree (fine-wire ornamentation). They also practiced "granulation" using minute drops of gold to enhance the beauty of the jewelry.

Jewelry played an important role in Egyptian civilization where its use dates back to 3000 BC. A tomb painting of late 15th century BC shows a metalworker using tongs and a blowpipe to anneal gold. The famous tomb of Tutankhamun or King Tut contains numerous pieces of fine gold jewelry embedded with precious stones. These pieces of jewelry are on display in the national museum in Cairo and thousands of visitors each day marvel at the skill of these early goldsmiths and jewelers.

On Mediterranean island of Crete, now part of Greece, gold jewelry also played an important role as early as 2400 BC. The jewelers of Crete may have gotten their knowledge from West Asia and they were experts in fashioning gold jewelry.

Diadems, hair ornaments, beads, bracelets, and complex chains have been found in Minoan tombs on Crete. It is also believed that Asian techniques of filigree and granulation were introduced to Crete around 2000 BC.

Around 1550 BC Minoan culture and its jewelry styles spread to Greece, then dominated by the city-state of Mycenea, located 90 miles southwest of present-day Athens.

Metalworking techniques spread outward from Greece and reached northern Europe as early as 1800 BC. There is also evidence that the Celtic and early British people traded with the eastern Mediterranean civilizations by this time and exchanged their products for gold beads.

By 1200 BC jewelry making was flourishing in Central and Western Europe. Bronze and gold was used to make jewelry and the spiral was the most common type of decoration. Twisted gold torcs were made in the British Isles and northern France from the 5th to the 1st century BC. Torcs, also spelled Torq, were rigid circular neck rings or necklaces that were open-ended at the front. Massive circlets for the necks and arms were the characteristic ornament of the chiefs of the Celtic race. The Celts also used enamel and inlay to decorate jewelry.

In the 7th century BC the Etruscans of central Italy were also making fine gold jewelry. The Etruscans perfected the difficult technique of granulation, a technique in which the surface of the metal is covered with tiny gold grains.

In Greece during the Hellenistic Age (the period just after the time of Alexander the Great, 323-30 BC) Greek jewelry was characterized by its great variety of forms and fine workmanship. Naturalistic wreaths were made for the head, and a variety of miniatures -- human, animal, and plant -- were made into necklaces and earrings.

The Heracles-knot, developed in Greece, remained a popular motif into Roman times.

Colorful jewelry was an important characteristic of the Migration period (4th to 8th centuries AD) which followed the collapse of the Roman Empire. Mediterranean goldsmiths continued to produce refined jewelry but the jewelry of the European tribes dominated the period. They produced abstract styles and worked in enamels and inlaid stones. This is also the period of the penannular, or nearly circular, brooches of Ireland and Scotland.

From the 9th to the 13th century, the technique of cloisonne -- enameling on gold -- became widespread in Europe and the Near East, with the best jewelry of this type emanating from Constantinople (present day Istanbul) the capital of the Byzantine Empire.

Gold Jewelry in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance

In the year 962 AD, just after the creation of the Holy Roman Empire (located in Central Europe) there was a fusion of Mediterranean and European civilizations and this had an effect on the jewelry as well.

The Emperor and the Church became the patrons of the arts. Jewelers worked in courts and monasteries. During this era, jewelry design was based on the setting in gold of precious stones and pearls in colorful patterns. Precious stones, which were polished but used in natural forms, were credited with having magic powers. For example, Sapphire, symbolic of chastity and spiritual peace, was used for papal rings.

Antique cameo gems were prized and when set in early medieval jewelry and were given a Christian interpretation. Until this era, European jewelry was produced mainly in imperial and monastic workshops. However, by the 13th century a system of independent guilds of goldsmiths was established in European capitals.

Gothic jewelry reflects the chivalrous ethic of the aristocratic society of this time in its symbolism and frequent use of amatory inscriptions. Jewelry, which has always had close affinities with modes of dress, frequently took the form of brooches and other fastenings such as belt clasps.

The ring brooch, the most common form of jewelry in the 13th century, was probably given as a token of love or betrothal. A pendant would occasionally be used as a Reliquary. The use of earrings ceased entirely, because women wore elaborate jeweled headdresses that concealed the ears. About 1300, French jewelers began to use translucent enamels over engraved silver or gold.

Selection of Great Italian Recipes and Wine Selections

noreply@blogger.com (Liberated-Press-Releases) — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 19:03:00 +0000

I love Italian food. How many times have you heard that uttered? There's something fantastic about the aromour and the shear joy of eating that Italians are famous the world over for their recipes and fine wines.

Here is a selection of Italian food articles submitted to the Liberated site over the last six months.

Secret Recipes Frittlers (Italian Pasties)

Hello a couple months ago I did an article on my families all time favourite secret recipe Frittlers (Italian Pasties). There is 2 ways you can make them one is with oil the other without oil. I love them both ways out of 5 with oil I give it 5 without oil I give it 4.75 still sensational. The article I did 2 months ago was with oil so I’ve updated this with the way to do it without oil.
The reason for this without oil is healthier then with oil so if you would like to try it but without oil this is for you. I have them both ways and love them.

Firstly the oil recipe I did 2-3 months ago is below and underneath it is how to do it without oil Secret Recipes Frittlers Part 2 (Italian Pasties).
You are in for a treat. We name the recipe Frittlers (Italian Pasties)
With Oil Secret Recipes Frittlers Part 1 (Italian Pasties)

Ingredients
7g yeast, 1 cup lukewarm water – if need more add extra but don’t make it soggy, 3 cups plain flour, pinch of salt, pepper, cheese, not mozzarella cheese but either shredded tasty cheese or shredded plain cheese, ham, tomatoes, tuna (chunk tuna) instead of ham canola oil
Put flour in bowl make a hole in the centre then add water and yeast mix together with pinch of salt. Work the dough don’t make it real dry. Then put in plastic bag, close bag up. Then put in a warm spot such as under blankets somewhere warm for about 1hour to 1.5 hours for it to rise to double its size.

While it’s rising get ham and cheese, not mozzarella cheese but either shredded tasty cheese or shredded plain cheese. Cut up ham add cheese then mix together.

Roll out dough to pasty round sizes do one at a time, add ham, cheese and sprinkle of pepper no salt then roll up pasty. When rolled up with filling at the ends with a fork press it and go around the edges. Then prick it lightly with fork twice around the middle.

Continue doing that until finished. Once done put 2 at a time in a frying pan with canola oil so oil covers the whole lot make sure oil is hot. (Just be careful because of heat) Cook to nice gold colour about 4-5 minutes then turn over and do other side. Take them out and put on paper towel to get rid of some of the oil. Can eat them basically straight away or you might wait to they cool down that is up to you.

There is no problems with freezing them they still taste fantastic.

If you want to add tomatoes you can but have it within 24 hours but don’t freeze any with tomatoes, what I do is if take them out the freezer when they thaw out I cut in half and add tomato and put in oven or griller.
Can also have chunk tuna instead of ham with the cheese. Tuna and cheese is also okay to freeze.
Also if you like you can add chopped up onion or anything that you enjoy.

Without Oil Secret Recipes Frittlers Part 2 (Italian Pasties)

You do exactly the same as with oil but instead of using oil and cooking them in a frying pan put them in the oven for roughly 10-15 minutes on 200 Degrees Celsius or 400 Degrees Fahrenheit then flip over again for extra 10 minutes and enjoy. (You can put on just a touch of oil on the Frittlers just before putting them in the oven).

This family secret recipe is one your family and friends will really appreciate, bon appetite!

I Love Italian Wine and Food - The Tuscany Region
By: Levi Reiss

If you are looking for fine Italian wine and food, consider the Tuscany region of central Italy. You may find a bargain, and I hope that you’ll have fun on this fact-filled wine education tour. Tuscany is located on the central western part of Italy on the Tyrrhenian Sea. It gets its name from an Etruscan tribe that settled the area about three thousand years ago. It has belonged to the Romans, the Lombards, and the Franks.

More than four hundred years ago under the Medicis, Tuscany became a major European center. It is undoubtedly one of Italy’s top tourist destinations as well as an ideal place for your villa when you hit it big, really big. According to one Seinfeld episode there are no villas to rent in Tuscany, but that was several years ago. On the other hand, time in Tuscany as elsewhere in Italy is measured in centuries.

Tuscany’s total population is about 3.5 million. Florence is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and the administrative center of Tuscany. It is one of Italy’s top tourist destinations, whose sites of interest are too numerous to list here. Siena and Pisa are two other major tourist destinations. Tuscany is a center of industrial production, in particular metallurgy, chemicals, and textiles. Given the region’s importance as an international art center for centuries, don’t be surprised that it is an excellent place to appreciate and purchase fashion, jewelry, leather goods, marble, and other items of beauty. Florence is the home of the house of Gucci.

Tuscany produces a wide variety of cereal, olives, vegetables, and fruit. But not only vegetarians eat well. It is home to cattle, horses, pigs, and poultry. One local specialty is wild boar. On the coast, seafood is abundant. Tuscany devotes over one hundred fifty thousand acres to grapevines, it ranks 4th among the 20 Italian regions. Its total annual wine production is about 58 million gallons, giving it an 8th place. About 70% of the wine production is red or rosé, leaving 30% for white.

The region produces 44 DOC wines. DOC stands for Denominazione di Origine Controllata, which may be translated as Denomination of Controlled Origin, presumably a high-quality wine and 7 DOCG white wine. The G in DOCG stands for Garantita, but there is in fact no guarantee that such wines are truly superior. The region produces 9 DOC wines. Tuscany also produces Super Tuscan wines, wines that may not have a prestigious classification but that are known to be outstanding.

These wines are arguably the main reason that Italy was forced to revise its wine classification system. Fully 55% of Tuscan wine carries the DOC or DOCG designation. And remember, many of Tuscany’s best wines carry neither designation. Tuscany! is home to more than three dozen major and secondary grape varieties, about half white and half red. Widely grown international white grape varieties include Trebbiano, Malvasia, and Sauvignon Blanc.

The best-known strictly Italian white varieties are Vermentino and Vernaccia. Widely grown international red grape varieties include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The best-known Italian red variety is Sangiovese, which is grown elsewhere, including California. A strictly Italian variety is Canaiolo. Before reviewing the Tuscan wine and cheese that we were lucky enough to purchase at a local wine store and a local Italian food store, here are a few suggestions of what to eat with indigenous wines when touring this beautiful region. Start with Panzanella, Bread and Tomato Salad. For a second course, eat or share a Bistecca alla Fiorentina, (Texas-sized) Beef Steak. If you have room, indulge in a Torta Rustica, Cornmeal Cake with Cream.

OUR WINE REVIEW POLICY

While we have communicated with well over a thousand Italian wine producers and merchants to help prepare these articles, our policy is clear. All wines that we taste and review are purchased at the full retail price. Wine Reviewed Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico 2004 12.8% alcohol about $21 I’ll start by quoting the marketing materials. “…A wine that would complement a veal chop or game birds, expect aromas of cranberry and cherry. On the palate, it should be round and ripe with enough tannin for balance.” As a point of interest, the label included the warning “contains sulphites” in ten languages.

I first tasted this wine with slow-cooked boneless beef ribs and potatoes accompanied by a spicy commercial Turkish salad. The wine was thick, loaded with plum and cherry flavors, and some tobacco. The tannins were moderate. Dessert was a cocoa cake whose label said strudel. The wine went well, its fruit really came out. I next tasted the Chianti Classico with slow-cooked meat balls, cauliflower and chickpeas in a tomato sauce, and potato wedges. The wine was plumy and powerful, with very pleasant tannins, a little tobacco and a little earth. Just so you know, I’m not usually partial to tannins. The wine was so round that I enjoyed finishing the glass when the food was gone. No dessert this time. I decided to follow the distributor’s suggestion and grilled a veal chop with a mixture of spices (minced onion, cayenne, and a bit of curry powder), accompanied by grilled eggplant slices with the same spices, and a commercially prepared Turkish salad, based on red pepper and tomato.

The wine bounced nicely off the delicious somewhat fat, somewhat rare meat. It didn’t add flavors of its own, but accompanied the food’s flavors excellently. It was powerful, but not overpowering. As its name indicates, Pecorino Toscano cheese comes from Tuscany, where it has been made from sheep’s milk for thousands of years. The cheese is moderately strong smelling and has a complex nutty flavor. The wine was smooth and round and had a pleasant tinge of tobacco. Just for the record I am not a smoker. In the presence of Asiago cheese from the Trentino-Alto Adige region of northern Italy, the wine became more robust. I remember when Chianti came in straw-covered bottles. In fact, I remember the bottles more than the wine itself. But times have changed.

This Chianti Classico was excellent, quite deserving of its top-of-the-line DOCG classification and well worth the price.

Berlin, probably the best city in the world. I first visited in 1973 and stayed for two years. If there's one place, just one place; I'd like to visit again. It would be Berlin.

European Travel Destinations - Here Are Top Ten European Travel Destinations

The top ten European travel destinations offer so much for the traveler. Any one of the top ten European travel destinations will provide a wide variety of experiences for your next vacation.

Europe is filled with historical sites dating back thousands of years, old cities of lost and ancient civilizations. But no matter where one goes, Europe never gets old. From the excellent food and drink to high-quality entertainment to shopping paradise, culture is all around. There are capital cities everywhere and many friendly villages along the way. If beautiful beaches are what you are looking for, Europe will give you many from which to choose.

Here are the top ten European travel destinations in alphabetical order:

Amsterdam, Holland - Amsterdam is famous for such attractions as Central Station, for its clubs and coffee shops. A beautiful time to visit Amsterdam would be spring since colorful tulips will be in bloom. Amsterdam includes the famous Van Gogh museum and its vast collection of his works. Amsterdam is a beautiful city with some of the best shopping in Europe and the people in Amsterdam are among the friendliest in the world. No wonder Amsterdam is one of the top ten European travel destinations.

Athens, Greece - visitors have always wanted to visit the famed monuments of the Acropolis found on a hill in the city center. The Temple of Olympian Zeus is a site that is being reconstructed. Built in 515 B.C., the monument is a temple dedicated to Zeus, the ancient Greek god of gods. Syntagma Square is a popular area in the center of Athens where there are many cafes that tourists will definitely enjoy.

Barcelona, Spain - the architecture in Barcelona is incredible such as the unfinished church of the Sagrada Familia or Sacred Family. This church is so immense that it has been under construction since 1882 with a possible completion date of 2020. The Spanish Naval Museum is interesting and can be found next to the monument of Christopher Columbus. The Naval Museum has a full-scale model of a galley ship plus the old shipyards where great galleys were built long ago.

Berlin, Germany - Berlin is one of the top ten European travel destinations and a city bustling with activity, history and intrigue. Even though Berlin has a number of interesting buildings built prior to 1945, the city today is shaped by the role it plays in German history after 1945. The Gendermenmarkt is one of Berlins most beautiful attractions and some would say the most beautiful square in Europe. The square is also surrounded by many beautiful cathedrals. And a trip to Berlin would not be complete without enjoying one of the numerous ale houses and flavorful beers.

Brussels, Belgium - when in Brussels, be sure and visit the Atomium, a giant steel construction shaped like a molecule. The Atomium was built for the 1958 World Expo and can still be enjoyed. The Grand Place is the central market square in Brussels and an excellent place to visit. The fifth largest church in the world is located in Brussels, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, a beautiful church that can be enjoyed by religious and non-religious alike because of its architectural beauty.

Lisbon, Portugal - the heart of Lisbon is known as the Baixa, filled with many different shops and attractions. You can walk the hilly narrow streets of the old downtown area called Alfama and stop for coffee or tasty meal along the way or enjoy the Portuguese music called Fado. Getting cheap transportation around Lisbon is easy since the metro runs throughout most of the city.

London, England - why would one visit this beautiful top ten European travel destinations city? London is an international center of culture with music, theater, arts, museums, festivals and more. Tourist attractions are mainly in central London, attractions such as Westminster Abbey in Westminster City. The palaces of the English royal family are for history lovers and the Buckingham Palace is one of the better known palaces anywhere.

Paris, France - definitely one of the top ten European travel destinations, Paris is known for its architectural beauty, its shopping, its cuisine as well as its museums. The Louvre is one of the greatest art museums in the world where one can see the famous Mona Lisa. The Musee Roudin hosts a collection of works from the most famous French sculptor. And the Musee Picasso showcases Picassos works and even hosts art shows.

Rome, Italy - Rome has a storied and long history, but it also is one of the contemporary top ten European travel destinations. Its vast historical center contains many places from ancient Rome such as palaces, artistic treasures, fountains and churches. A trip to the Vatican would be considered essential for the first-time visitor. One of the most interesting attractions in Rome is the Aqueduct, the ancient structure for transporting water around the city. And no matter what anyone tells you, the best pizza in the world is in Rome.

Venice, Italy - getting around Venice is entirely on water or on foot, just like centuries past. Numerous interesting places to visit exist such as the Piazza San Marco, known as Saint Marks Square. This square is remarkable since one can only hear human voices and nothing else. La Fenice Theatre and Opera is one of the most famous theaters in Europe, the site of many famous operatic premieres.

So there you have them, top ten European travel destinations. Whether you are visiting Europe for the first time or you visit often, check out the wonderful variety of destinations for your next vacation. Once you have experienced Europe travel destinations, you will likely return again to enjoy a dream vacation in another of the top ten European travel destinations.
