Gold Rosaries

By Owen Jones

Have you ever seen a golden rosary? They are not items you see every day, but they are very striking and they can be found if you look around. A rosary is a symbol of your faith, a method of doing atonement and even a way of remembering who gave you your faith.

Because of the symbolic character of a rosary, it does not matter at all what it is made from. However, if you like nice things, a golden rosary could be a luxury item for you, even though there is more risk of it being stolen.

You certainly would not want to have it stolen of course, but a valuable rosary is a beautiful object to possess, like a golden business card case or an luxurious fountain pen. It is not so much that it shows that you can afford one, it is more that it demonstrates that it is an important item to you. Something of significance. If you like writing, you want a decent pen, if you want to give a good impression, you can have a good business card case and if you love God, you can have a good-looking rosary.

However, you do not have to take it to church with you, if you are worried about being flash. You could only use it at home, if that made you feel easier. After all, you are not buying a golden rosary to show off to the world's population, just to illustrate your loyalty to yourself. The weight of a golden rosary seems to add gravity to the proceedings, but that might be a personal thing.

However, you do not necessarily have to buy a gold rosary for yourself. You might buy one for a child or godchild in order to demonstrate how much you want that they will discover or uphold the faith.

You will have to go to a professional trader who knows about gold rosaries. This is because if the beads are too heavy for the chain, the chain might not last long. The constant moving of the beads could either wear the gold chain thin too swiftly or just break it.

That would be a crying shame, because you might lose one or more of your beads too and the beads on a gold rosary would of necessity be fairly expensive too. Replacing one or more beads might be difficult or even impossible years down the line.

A gold rosary would probably become a family heirloom and be passed down for generations even hundreds of years. It would be a great incentive for a young person to contemplate the important things in life.

Your church could give you pointers about where to buy a gold rosary from someone that really knows what the proportions of the beads to the chain should be. They will also offer you different purities of gold, usually 9, 14 or 18 carat gold and the beads could be anything from glass to pearls.

If you do go in for a gold rosary, get the retailer to attest to the materials used in its manufacture and the various weights so that if you have a problem, you have proof to show the insurance company.

Broadheads; Mechanical or Fixed

By Brandon Clark

There are a number of leisure activities in the world that can only be practiced in certain parts of the world. One such activity is hunting. Even though there has been a lot of speculation about whether hunting should be allowed or not, those that enjoy the sport can only be the true judges. There are many countries in the world that are known to practice hunting. The country where hunting is practiced the most is in the United States of America.

Every true hunter knows that having the right set of equipment is necessary to make their hunting experience that much easier. It is for this very reason that many hunters are known to be quite precise about the equipment and tools that they use. In this article, we are going to look at bow and arrow hunting in a bit more detail.

The most important part of a bow and arrow is the broad head that is used to prey on the animal. In recent years, there has been a lot of debate in regards to which broad head would prove to be more effective; mechanical or fixed. Unfortunately the answer is not as simple as the question may make it seem.

Fixed broad heads were the first types that were initially used for hunting. Many people that have been hunting for quite some time now feel as though they are still good for the job. Modern hunters on the other hand tend to differ in opinion. They are known to prefer the mechanical broad heads instead. We are going to take a look at mechanical broad heads in a bit more detail.

On the other hand however, many of the new generation hunters that have gotten them selves involved into the art of hunting are known to prefer opting for the mechanical broad heads instead. Seeing as more people are moving towards the future, we are going to take a look at mechanical broad heads in a little more detail and why they are preferred more over the traditional fixed broad heads.

The mechanical broad head is known to have a number of advantages in comparison to a fixed broad head. One of the first advantages that you can expect to gain with a mechanical broad head is the accuracy that it has to offer. The four point fixed blade which can be altered in angle, is known to have a much firmer grip in comparison to a fixed broad head. This ensures that target killing is much easier.

Another advantage that you can find with mechanical broad heads is the wound that it causes on the prey. Due to the blades that the mechanical broad head has to offer, it is able to cause a wound of a few inches. This ensures that the prey is killed with one shot.

If you are looking to by hunting equipment including broad heads, the best place to look would be online. There are a large number of online stores that are solely dedicated for selling hunting equipment. The great thing about shopping online is that you will be able to get a deal in terms of price.

Mechanical or Fixed Broadheads

By Brandon Clark

Hunting has become quite a popular leisure activity in many parts of the world. The most common place where hunting is practiced the most is in the United States of America. Many people tend to generalize the term hunting, when in actual fact there are many ways by which a person can go hunting. The most common approach that is commonly used across the globe, especially in the US, is bow and arrow hunting.

Every true hunter knows that having the right set of equipment is necessary to make their hunting experience that much easier. It is for this very reason that many hunters are known to be quite precise about the equipment and tools that they use. In this article, we are going to look at bow and arrow hunting in a bit more detail.

What does make a difference however is the broad head that is used for attacking the prey? There are two different types of broad heads that can be used to kill your prey. These are commonly referred to as a fixed or mechanical broad head. In recent years, there has been a lot of debate as to which broad head is more effective than the other.

Which broad head to use will vary quite significantly from person to person. Many old fashion hunters that have been in the sport for a number of decades now prefer to stick to the old fashion methods of using a fixed broad head. Looking at a fixed broad head in more detail is known to show the benefits that it has.

We are going to take a look at why mechanical broad heads have taken over the traditional fixed broad heads; and whether the change has really been for the better.

The mechanical broad head is known to have a number of advantages in comparison to a fixed broad head. One of the first advantages that you can expect to gain with a mechanical broad head is the accuracy that it has to offer. The four point fixed blade which can be altered in angle, is known to have a much firmer grip in comparison to a fixed broad head. This ensures that target killing is much easier.

Another advantage that you can only get with a mechanical broad head is the fact that it is known to penetrate the prey's body much deeper than a traditional fixed broad head. On average, the mechanical broad head is able to cause a wound of at least two inches. This ensures that the prey is killed with one single shot.

If you are looking to buy mechanical broad heads, one of the best places where you can look is online. There are many online web stores that are currently offering a wide variety of models to choose from. If you do decide to use this as an option, it is important that you look for an online store that is both trustworthy and reliable.

The Invisible Tribe of the Amazon

By Lamorna Pope

I worked as a research botanist,and my work took me to countries in South America, I lived for some time in Brazil, where I explored the Amazon jungle, and rain forests. I searched for new flowers and plants that might have medicinal properties in them. I went to remote areas, that European people had not traveled to, and indeed, did find rare and unknown plants.

I do not take pride, in seeing how man marches on for the sake of progress. I have seen it many times around the world. Our civilisation, of burger bars and alcohol, can, in a few years wipe out, a tribe, or culture that had been strong for years. It is like the people are confused by the alcohol we exchanged for their land.

The timber from the forests and jungles, was in demand by the larger economies, in order to build houses and factories.

What I object to, is the forests were not properly managed, trees were felled , but not replaced. There should have been better organization.

The further I traveled inland, away from the coast, the happier I became. I met and befriended, many tribes. There were not many unfriendly tribes, but I did avoid them, as they did not like people intruding on their land. The most interesting tribe I met, lived deep in the jungle, they were called the invisible tribe. This is because they colored themselves in jungle colors.

My first encounter was me waking up in their main hut, I had been hit with a poisoned dart, as I recovered I was aware of a table like a farmhouse table without legs, laden with fruit, like wild apples, and fish like very big trout. There was also a display shelving system, laid with spears and other weapons, it reminded me of how we display our refinements on a welsh dresser. Even there, out in the jungle, our different lives seemed to have a lot of similarities.

One Day In The Area Close to Ypres

By Rob Atherton

Brandhoek Cemetery is the place where Captain Noel Chavasse is buried. Captain Chavasse is one of just three soldiers to have been awarded Britain's highest award for valour, the Victoria Cross. On top of that, he was also accorded the Military Cross. I am at present reading a book entitled "In Foreign Fields" by Dan Collins and it is regarding troopers who have been granted medals in Afghanistan and Iraq. The moment you recognise exactly what a soldier had to achieve in order to be granted an MC, it truly allows you to comprehend what a bold person Captain Chavasse was especially when he was a member of the Royal Medical Corps and never fired a shot in the course of the war.

My next stop was near to the village of Passchendaele at the largest sized British Military Cemetery at Tynecot. Over 12,000 troopers lie buried here. From the cemetery, it's possible to see for some miles in all directions over fields and it seems hard to think about the carnage that was there 90 years ago. The visitors centre gives a profile of the region and the names of some of the dead and missing are broadcast calmly over speakers.

From Tynecot, I started to head back on the way to Ypres stopping at Hill 61 (Sanctuary Wood) on the way back. There's a compact museum and a few conserved trenches . Throughout my trip, the climate wasn't kind and while it had been nothing like as lousy as conditions would have been all through The Great War, the bottom of the trenches still looked quite awful. It cost a few Euros to get in and this was the first place I started to notice the effects of the notorious mud.

My next intended stop was the Hooge Crater. As earlier in the day, I struggled to locate it but I saw a little independent museum known as the Hooge Crater Museum which in fact had a compelling variety of artefacts including a British Ambulance and a Victoria Cross. My sightseeing for the day was not finished as I still wanted to see the popular Cloth Hall that was all but demolished (since fully rebuilt) and the Last Post ceremony and that is carried out at 8pm every evening at the Menin Gate. I always find the Last Post really haunting and moving to hear. After it was finished, two wreaths were laid by young British troops and this was followed by a recital from Laurence Binyon's "For The Fallen"

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

Valentines Day Celebrations - One Of The Sweetest Days On The Planet

By Brandon Clark

Having someone that you love, who you would want to be part of your life is a very rare and special feeling. Love in general is a fantastic emotion that can make one forget about all the hassles and problems that they have in this world. Realizing that you are in love with someone is a great experience; however when it comes to telling that person how you truly feel, that is where the problem usually comes in. For some, expressing their feelings is quite simple, where as for others it is seen as a burden.

If you are a person that is having difficulty in expressing their true feelings and emotions for the one you love, then you won't be the first person or the last. This is quite a common feeling especially amongst the youth. Valentines Day is a special day that is dedicated towards those that are in love. Many people that have difficulty in expressing their feelings are known to use this day to express how they truly feel.

There is one important thing that all guys should remember. If you love a girl but have not told her yet, be sure that she expects you to tell her on Valentines Day. Most girls anticipate the day in quite a lot of excitement in the hope that their true lover will make a move. This in effect can work as an advantage and disadvantage at the same time. The advantage is that the girl will be expecting you to make a move. What this means is that she would have previously thought about whether or not she wants to give you a chance. The disadvantage is that she would have set standards in her mind in regards to how you express your feelings to her.

All girls believe that how a guy tells a girl that they love her truly shows that guys feelings. For this reason, it is important that when you decide to tell your loved one how you truly feel on Valentines Day, you put in a bit of thought of how you are going to go about in doing so.

The common approach that is seen in nearly every Hollywood movie is a standard red rose bouquet. Opting for this option is not advised as it is too conventional; plus the chances are that she would already be expecting it.

Don't think that you have to spend large amounts of cash to impress her; after all money can not buy happiness. If you are finding yourself short on cash, try keeping it as simple as possible.

Try making use of free facilities that are open to the public such as public parks. This could be a great place to arrange your meeting. Make sure you don't over do it on the decoration and gift. Even giving a nice cuddly teddy bear could be enough.

An important fact to remember in regards to getting a girl to say yes on Valentines Day is to make sure you create the right atmosphere.

Finding The Bangkok Flowers Bazaar Is Worth It

By Vivian Flintte

For those who have yet to have the pleasure of a trip to Thailand, you may not realize that one of the most surreal and impressive experiences possible can be found in the city of Bangkok here. It turns out that this is one of the most incredible places to see real Bangkok Flowers up close and personal, being sold in the traditional way known as a 'wet' market because the concrete floors are always slick with water that is used to keep the blossoms fresh. Blossoms come here in massive quantities from all over Thailand by both truck and boat, being unloaded as they are delivered from Thai farms and very much in bloom, perfect for a floral arrangement.

Here you will see some of the most incredible ranges of colors and smell scents like never before. The sheer natural wonder of it all as it is being shown to people who come here is certainly something of a testament to both the glory of nature and to man's ability to work with it with such skill.

A lot of visitors simply do not know that visiting one of these wet flower markets is a possibility because they are typically just for the flower pros to go to and pick out what they will be using in their shops. Boats and trucks bring in the blossoms usually after midnight and the market explodes into activity as all of the flowers arrive, along with various vegetables, spices and fruits that are all hauled in from the farms during the cool part of the night to help them stay as fresh as possible.

If you make sure that you bring your camera with you then you will get a chance to see exactly where those amazing blooms used in the Pattaya Flower Delivery come from, up close and personal. The flowers are always put up under gorgeous lighting to really show off their beauty and give a sense of what can be done with them in the flower trade, as well.

For those who come to Bangkok and want that incredible experience for themselves, be sure to check out a wet market if you get a chance and see just how amazing it can be. Be sure that if you decide to take this kind of visit, you remember to bring a way to record the Thailand flower market in full swing so that you have photos or videos to share.

That is what makes this such a special opportunity for those who want to be able to get the best experience possible when it comes to the kind of flowers that make the world a more beautiful place. Come expecting to be dazzled and you will not be disappointed.
