Visas Check that your passport is valid and covers the dates of your trip for the countries you will be going to. Many countries will give a 30 day or longer visa at ..more on visas >> Accommodation It is advisable to pre-book the first night or two of your trip in a hostel or hotel. Sites such as Hostelworld or Hostelbookers offer the facility to book online. They also allow you to check ratings for each hostel / hotel posted by previous travellers & they cover a wide range of locations around the world. Pre-booking a hostel can save an enormous amount of time and energy - especially after a long journey or when arriving at a popular resort where hostel places may be in short supply.

If you are traveling with a group, be sure to also consider timeshare rentals which can give you more space and privacy. As with hostels, however, it's always a good idea to book these in advance. Finance Decide on how you will finance day to day expenses when travelling. High Volumes: Huge Home Bookcase Spans Multiple Stories. You may remember this remarkable floating box home from a previous article, but what we failed to mention was the marvelous story-spanning, built-in wall bookcase that reaches from the below-grade entry level up to the second-floor ceiling.

The driving motivation behind the overall house design related to connectivity – openness from the outdoors to the inside and across all floors, with one area flowing neatly into the next. Within that planned scheme this multi-level shelving system acts much like a contemporary hearth, providing a colorful focal point for gatherings but drawing the eye up from the first floor and back down from the second as well. Moving Boxes: DIY Modular Cardboard-Recycling Bookcases. Why pay more for modularity when light, cheap and portable will do? That is the question this creative shelving system seeks to answer, using a series of simple cardboard sheets cut into sturdy square-box storage shelves. Minimalist designer Dany Gilles used a kit-of-parts approach, raiding recycling bins for usable scrap (as can be seen via the labels on the sides of the boxes). The interlocking parts create a system of stable stand-alone book or display shelves that are each structurally independent from the next.

A set of top-and-bottom, tongue-and-groove ‘lips’ and ‘slots’ makes it easy to stack one unit on top of the next. Other projects by Gilles explore innovative and material-efficient ways to recycle ordinary scrap paper and use standard-dimension building elements (like dimensional lumber) to create simple, unique and functional everyday objects including coat racks, lamps and more. Search. Time Out Worldwide - Your Guide to the Best Things to do in the World's Greatest Cities including London and New York. The 100 Best Books of All Time. Many publishers have lists of 100 best books, defined by their own criteria. This article enumerates some lists of "100 best" books for which there are fuller articles. Among them, Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels (Xanadu, 1985) and Modern Fantasy: The 100 Best Novels (Grafton, 1988) are collections of 100 short essays by a single author, David Pringle, with moderately long critical introductory chapters also by Pringle.

For publisher Xanadu, Science Fiction was the first of four "100 Best" books published from 1985 to 1988. The sequels covered crime & mystery, horror, and fantasy. Lists[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] English Castles. English Castles The Norman invasion of 1066 did more to bring castles to England than any other event. When the Duke of Normandy defeated English forces he was crowned William I, the King of England. One of the weapons William used was the castle. He brought portable wooden fortifications with him from France when he invaded. These provided simple protection until stone fortifications could be erected. Early English castles exploited the landscape, using hills as the center of the stronghold whenever possible. One of the first castles William built was the White Tower, a fortification so large that it inspired fear in the inhabitants. Many English castles were damaged or destroyed completely during the Civil Wars of the 1600s.

I have these two t-shirts that I love. They're soft, comfortable, and have good worn (and sentimental) designs on them. But, I never wear them for anything other than around the house because they are large men's t-shirts and look completely shapeless on me. Then I found this great tutorial on YouTube for how to make a big t-shirt a fitted shirt!

- T-Shirt Surgery: How to Make a Shirt Fit So, while I was staying with my mom at her camper this summer (she lives & travels in an RV), I asked her to help me try it out.

Rant on putting your characters through absolute hell. Well, this one was the winner by the most votes I’ve ever seen in a poll, so up it goes. You’ll probably note pretty quickly that all the items on this list are psychological/emotional. Well, yes. I think scenes of physical pain, especially torture, are overused in fantasy, especially because authors have a tendency to forget about wounds whenever they would get in the way and just send their characters pelting off as if they’d never suffered.

Also, psychological/emotional methods of putting people through hell mean that you get to use characters’ faults against them, and readers’ expectations for fantasy heroes against them. This is much fun. (And if I sound like a sadist, I swear I’m not. These are simply the deepest and most affecting methods that I’ve found, which also happen to be painful). 1) Create a situation that punishes the character for using his best qualities. The trick here is not to make the situation seem contrived. Now seize that and turn it on its head. So, don’t.
