Are you on the precipice of your artistic journey? Do you want to hone your drawing or painting skills? It's no secret that if you want to turn your passion into actual works of art, you need proper art supplies and a good technique.

Speaking of techniques, one of the easiest and most convenient ways to create an artwork is by simply pouring the paint on paper or canvas and seeing where that takes you. Imagine turning a regular blank sheet of paper into a beautiful and colourful abstract painting without even having to pick up a brush or spend long hours in front of an easel. What a bargain, right?

Beer is by far the most popular alcoholic drink in the world, and Germany is often considered the place with the best and biggest variety of beers, no matter whether lager or ale. If you have a friend who's a beer snob, they may ask you to go to a Biergarten more often than they'd like to admit. The Biergarten in question will probably have wursts, pretzels or spaetzles, along with a dozen different German brews. Granted, those brews are likely the most commercialised ones, and they probably aren't top-shelf beers as you might expect. While you should probably go to the Biergarten just to get a taste of the food, don't expect too much of the beer.

Some people even use carabiners as improvised keychains to hold multiple keys or shopping cards. Moreover, a carabiner can be one of the many exceptional gifts for outdoor enthusiasts.

One of the main issues 4WD owners have with their vehicles is that straight out the of the dealership there’s one important omission – a decent light setup. Even for cars designed to be used primarily off-road, the only lights provided are standard headlights, and if you spec up, fog lights.

I’m sure there’s nothing more fun than splashing around in the pool when the weather is warm and inviting. And for most parents, keeping their kids entertained and engaged this time of year can be challenging.

Have you ever just looked down a busy street and wondered what precisely was buried underground? If you haven’t, don't feel bad. In fact, very few people would ever be likely to; and that in itself is a testament to how accomplished we are at burying our infrastructure. The ground is teeming with meticulously concealed power and communications lines, as well as gas, water and sewer lines that most people are perfectly oblivious to. For utility workers, municipal employees, general contractors, and even private landowners though, this well-buried infrastructure presents an obstacle that can go from being a casual footnote to a major incident in an instant.

Higher horsepower numbers, better torque and low-down pulling power often involves swapping out the stock “bottom-end” parts – the pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft. This is where a few careful modifications can produce some interesting results when taking your car out for a spin on the track.

There are two things that are absolutely essential to the serious bowhunter. The first is the ethical, sportsmanlike manner in which they engage their quarry; and the second is, once they’ve engaged it, dispatching it as quickly and as mercifully as possible. It implies an unspoken obligation to hunting with the sharpest, most effective broadheads available.
