Over the centuries, master carpenters have perfected their ability to create fine works of art using only the basics of tools. Woodworking requires various size chisels, hammer, saw, and sharp knives. An experienced woodworking hobbiest can turn a regular block of wood into a sculpture or work of art. For our ancestors, woodcarving was a necessary skill in order to possess basic needs, i.E., axe handles, spokes for wagon wheels, kitchen utensils, door hinges, and toys for their children.
Our ancestors having their woodworking ability have given us some beautiful antique furniture also. Many pieces have been preserved in museums writing desks, table and chair sets, bedroom furniture and many other fine work of art. You may yourself own a beautiful antique piece of family history, a cherished family heirloom passed on from one generation to the next.
The amount of skilled woodworking hobbyists has taken a steady decline over the years. Mass production of cheaply-made furniture has made the skill and art form of woodworking less necessary to the modern world.
Now a days many people find woodworking a recreational hobby that is relaxing. It is a way to express self-creativity, to turn nothing into something. People who are talented at woodworking can create great inexpensive gifts for family and friends. Instead of buying some item from the store, you can give an original birthday or Christmas gift of something personally created. Your thoughtful idea will be cherished.
Woodworking is an inexpensive hobby to begin, with a small block of wood and a sharp blade, the only other thing needed is patience and a keen eye. By spending time practicing your woodworking skills you will be able to transform a small wooden block into just about anything you want. Using your imagination and creative ability is one of the best aspects of having woodworking as a hobby. Creating can bring a person joy and a sense of contentment.

Camping in the Rough Without Almost Nothing
Every summer thousands of us pack up our RVs or the trailer and head off to the campground. Once there, you back into your designated spot, plug in your electrical power source. The whole scenario seems to defeat the purpose in my opinion, but to each their own.
If you want to feel true exhilaration of camping and see some of the many wonders nature has to offer, I suggest you try camping in the rough. However it is a good idea to be familiar with the area you are camping in, this will help you avoid getting lost and always let somebody know where you are going and when you are returning.
It is enjoyable to go along a waterway where a canoe or kayak may be used. The camper can store extra supplies and make pretty good time. A few basic essentials is all you need for a weekend of relaxation and solitude. I suggest a small pup tent with an extra tarp in case of rain for shelter, or on a mild summer night just a sleeping bag will suffice.
As a rule I always bring along my fishing pole, trout do make a great add on for a meal. Make sure you have a frying pan and a pot to boil water. It's easy to prepare a lot of foods brought from home over a campfire. I know that camping this way is not for everyone! Camping in the rough entails a person take only what is needed for a two- or three-day journey. Having a camera is about the only modern piece of equipment worth bringing.
If camping in the rough seems like an idealistic approach to enjoying nature, why not give it a try? There are no traffic jams or other motorists to be wary of, no noise. It just may be the first of many great camping trips for you.

Tanning Effects
People take risks with their health every day. Some people neglect their bodies all together by smoking, drinking, or eating lots of junk food. Do you ever think about the risks we encounter when we bathe in the sun, trying to get that glow. Effects of tanning on the skin may be harmful to your body in many ways, including increasing your chances of skin cancer.
There are a couple types ofUV (Ultra Violent) rays that cause skin damage. UVA is the greater of the two, and usually is the responsible for cancer of the skin. UVB rays are what make sunburns red. Having many sunburns also can lead to skin cancer. If you choose to take the chance please wear a sunscreen that repels both types of UV rays.
People who have a large amount of freckles or moles on their body have an even greater risk of developing skin cancer. Another side effect of tanning is premature aging. Who needs to get older quicker? Other related problems are skin losing elasticity making an early introduction of wrinkles.
Going to a tanning bed is yet another way to get that golden glow. Tanning beds penetrate deeper so they too are accounted for rapid-aging. The effects of tanning in a bed hardly seem worth the risk.
Sunless tanning is by far the safer and healthier alternative. It will give you a safe tan all year round without any harmful exposure to UV rays. A person can go to a spray tanning booth at their health club. Sunless tanning is not what it used to be. Companies have perfected the science of sunless tanning.
Yet another healthy alternative are tanning creams you can apply to your skin it will bronze your skin the way you like. There are also make-up products that will give you the perfect bronzed look without any harmful effects of tanning outdoors.

The Effects of Ethanol
Henry Ford invented the Model-T in 1908. It was manufactured to run on ethanol. He was quoted as saying, 'Ethanol is the fuel of the future.' Could Henry Ford have been a man ahead of his time?
Ethanol contains the same type of alcohol that is found in alcoholic beverages. When ethanol is used to operate motor vehicles, it is mixed with the gasoline, usually at a 10/90 combination (10 being the ethanol). During recent studies, it has been noted that the effects of ethanol may reduce a vehicles' average mileage by 1-2. That small decrease in mileage may hurt some of our pocketbooks during the recession, but the use of ethanol is better for the future of our planet.
The effects of ethanol do not increase the greenhouse effect, but helps reduce nitrogen oxide levels by up to 20. Studies have also proven that the effects of ethanol can also reduce CO2 emissions by up to 100 on the life cycle of your vehicle. That means that the exhaust pouring out of the tailpipe will be a lot cleaner and help reduce smog.
Ethanol contains a high concentration of octane. All you speed demons and muscle car maniacs know that's a good thing! The effects of using ethanol will not slow down and will still get the performance that you expect to get.
Ethanol also has another great aspect. It is biodegradable, which once again is a plus for our planet. Ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline does, so it helps reduce the effects of global warming. It is a proven fact that we have put our planet in need of great mending. The effects of ethanol will help heal the damage we have created and will reduce the pollution that is taking place on a daily basis. Ethanol is not the only solution, but may be one of the safest.

Do Dangerous Prescriptions Really Harm You?
Everyone may need a prescription at some point in their lives. How do you know if what you're getting from a pharmacy is safe? Just because a doctor prescribes it and you get a "drug" legally, does that mean it's not dangerous?
Most prescriptions come with side effects that could potentially be dangerous to your health, depending on what it's used for. Prescriptions that are dangerous, as in terms of addictions, are usually called narcotics. Doctors don't like prescribing these drugs because of the surge of addiction to them in the last decade. People are not only abusing them, they are also selling them. There is a high demand for these drugs out on the streets that there are people that don't "need" them, get them from their doctor and sell them. Unless you have a chronic, life-altering, disabling condition, you can probably get by on Tylenol.
There has been an increased use of painkillers for the management of non-malignant, chronic pain. For post-operative pain, painkillers are used. Uses in palliative care is any pain of moderate or greater severity, shortness of breath, diarrhea, and painful wounds, requiring topical morphine. These drugs are not recommended for sedation or anxiety because experience has found them to be ineffective agents in these roles.
The long-term use of these drugs show dependence is rare if the medication is being used for pain relief. These drugs are safe when used correctly, or as prescribed.
Some of these are very dangerous and may cause renal failure. There are many other long-term effects of dangerous prescriptions they include acute respiratory depression, acute pancreatitis, chemical toxicity, insomnia, hallucinations, and nightmares. The short-term effects of these drugs include sedation, euphoria, physical dependence, psychological dependence, tolerance, and pinpoint pupils.
There are a lot of doctors that prescribe these dangerous prescriptions for post-op pain, cancer, kidney stones, severe back pain, and a severe cough.
