Traveling with the best auto ac

While traveling around the US and making sure that I was taking the most out of every state, I realized that it was extremely important that my car was in its best shape and completely equipped with the best auto ac compressor available on the market!

In fact, some years ago when I traveled to Arizona with my malfunctioning auto ac, it was really impossible for me to stay for as long as I wished simply because the weather and the malfunctioning auto ac couldn’t help me with that. Fortunately, for all of you willing to buy a new auto ac with full warranty, there is a very plausible solution that can be found on the website to which I have linked above.

Tourism is going to decline on 2009

Just as you could easily conclude, now that the financial downturn is menacing us all, tourism is expected to decline during this year on a worlwide basis, making sure that everyone will be affected by the crisis. Below is the msnbc.com article that tells you the whole story with full detail:

"

BERLIN - The United Nations' tourism organization said Wednesday that international vacation travel could drop up to 2 percent in 2009 as the economic crisis worsens.

Europe's broad tourism industry would likely see the largest drop in visitors, but that small countries dependent on foreign spending might suffer most, said Talib Rifai, secretary general of the U.N. World Tourism Organization.

Approximately 924 million tourists traveled across international borders in 2008, Rifai said — or 2 percent more than the previous year, though the numbers fell sharply in the last six months as economic worry prompted people to curb spending.

Rifai called the increase modest compared with the "bullish years" of 2004-2007, when growth averaged 7 percent.

"This is not a tourism crisis. It's an economic crisis that spills over into tourism," Rifai said in Berlin, where he was attending a tourism trade fair.

Still, he said his organization was predicting a drop of as much as 2 percent this year, based on the current situation.

A spokesman for the U.N. organization, however, said travel could fall by as much as 5 percent. "That's not an official UNWTO position, but I'm being very straight with you," Geoffrey Lipman told reporters.

He said small countries whose gross domestic product is 70 percent to 80 percent dependent on service industries including tourism were most vulnerable. He and Rifai both declined to identify specific countries.

Rifai said Europe's likely decline could be partially offset by a boon in new tourism from China. Some 45 million Chinese traveled abroad in 2008, and China hopes to double that number by 2012.

Finding the perfect American flag for you

As a truly proud American, when traveling all around the world I always make sure that everyone knows where I come from by carrying my own USA flag that my father has given me as soon as I became an adult!

Personally, I believe that flags can play quite an important role when it comes the time to impress other countries with the proud that we have on our country and that’s something that I have always done in my life! Moreover, I also have an American flag at my business and I am far from being the only one… As a matter of fact, I would say that most of my friends agree with me when I claim that the USA flag carries too many important and historical events for us to forget about its importance. Furthermore, I believe that everyone should have an American flag and that’s exactly why I would like to recommend all my readers to have a look at the website to which I have linked just above and where you are going to be able to find the best deals on American flags amongst many other products that you will also love! In what relates to prices, I can assure you that I have never seen better prices! What else could we really ask for?

Finding something different for our dinner

When considering the fact that we often think that we have already tried every dinner available on the city, I would personally say that we are totally wrong as you can easily witness by having a look at another msnbc.com article just below which will show you that there are many things for us to try yet:

Last October, more than 40 people followed signs depicting a skull and crossbones, with a knife and fork in place of the bones, to a secluded Bavarian-style hunting lodge 30 minutes north of St. Louis.

The attendees didn't have any idea where they were headed or what to expect. All they knew was that they were in for a five-course meal courtesy of John-Jack, an undercover chef who'd invited each of them via a top-secret e-mail to the latest of what he calls his Entre dinner parties.

Guests arrived to a bluegrass band jamming in a room decorated with deer antlers. As a fire crackled in the massive stone fireplace, they dined on wild-elk medallions, home-cured bacon, grapefruit confit and butternut squash ice cream — and toasted their good fortune with pumpkin ale from nearby microbrewery Schlafly.

Welcome to the world of underground supper clubs. Getting a reservation requires a little detective work, but once in, you may never go back to eating out the old-school way again. The idea behind these dinners is to let talented chefs work their whisks in an affordable, relaxed setting. And since they're often operating out of their own kitchens, without a license to serve the public, these cooks have to keep the locales — and their own identities — under wraps.

"The trend started in food-centric cities like San Francisco, but in the last year, groups have been popping up across the country," says Jenn Garbee, author of Secret Suppers, which spotlights some of the more than 80 clubs now up and running in the U.S.

One such is Guerrilla Cuisine, founded by an incognito cook in Charleston, S.C., who uses the alias Jimihatt and wears a ninja mask at his gatherings. As at many clubs, diners must submit their reservations weeks in advance on Jimihatt's Web site and then wait for an e-mail with directions to the hush-hush locale.

Based on his track record, you won't be disappointed: The bearded Jimihatt and his rotating crew of sous-chefs have served secret, Southern-style suppers (andouille sausage gumbo, Cajun smoked chicken, chocolate beignets) in galleries, wineries, even a grocery store.

Jimihatt now has a little friendly competition from an Atlanta cook named Lady Rogue. Her RogueApron shindigs each have a different theme.

At a recent event, a Great Depression–style repast in Lang-Carson Park, guests stood in a soup line for pancetta minestrone with porcini mushrooms, and lemongrass-spiked corn broth. Then they divided into teams for an impromptu game of Wiffle ball. "Our goal," Lady Rogue says, "is to make dining more inclusive and to have strangers connect over food. What better way to meet people?"

For those hoping to break bread with their own buddies, there's 12B in Vancouver. To keep operations simple, its mastermind, Chef Todd, hosts the six-course dinners in his own apartment, hence the name. And unlike most supper clubs, 12B cooks only for groups of friends (up to 12 at a time).

"Even after working 16-hour days, I would sit at home and think, 'I've got to find a way to feed more people,'" Chef Todd says.

Money isn't the incentive. His minimum-donation fee of $50 just covers costs for a feast (stuffed artichoke hearts, five-mushroom ravioli, butter-poached scallops served with BBQ pulled pork) that would average twice as much in a restaurant.

But as Chef Todd will attest, these clubs are less about saving and more about spending a night eating exceptionally well in the unlikeliest of places, whether a cozy lodge straight out of a fairy tale or a humble living room.
