I also took the directions from the AA website just in case we drove to star city ourselves. The next thing I did was to visit the West Midlands Travel to get train and bus numbers that travel from Sutton to Star City . After that I tried to find some recent customer reviews on the internet about the restaurant and when I found a suitable page I broke the reviews down into bullet points to make them easier to read in my presentation report and then I found some recommendations from people on the internet and put them into the presentation. Whilst doing all of this research I was keeping references of the websites I had got information from and put them on a separate page called References My research and report about Shere Khan restaurant in star city was now almost complete, but before I could print it off I wanted to be sure it was correct, so I did not produce any waste. To do this I proof read, and spell checked my work, and finally I used the print preview to make sure all the pages were going to print off correctly. Then before exiting I made sure that I saved my work, in case I ever needed the document again. After completing all of this I went out into the corridor to get a drink from one of the college’s many water coolers and drinking fountains. I think it is a great idea that they have so many water coolers as they keep people cool and hydrated, therefore resulting in people working harder.
We have two very nice water coolers in our home. We put one of them upstairs and one of them downstairs. They are nice to have around for the children when they need a drink in the middle of the night. We have had them for several years and have never had a problem with them. It’s nice to save money by not having to buy individual bottled water, which is also good for the environment. It is so nice to have a cold refreshing glass of water any time of the day or night. I would be lost without my coolers. For Christmas, my husband and I purchased water coolers for each one of our children. We are trying to encourage them and our grandchildren to drink a lot of water. We recently discovered how much better you feel when drinking water on a regular basis. Our doctor advised us to do it and we can’t believe the results. We have both lost weight and our skin is much more soft and supple. Not to mention how good it is for the digestive tract. I really hope they enjoy their water coolers and start to drink water more often. It has truly worked wonders for us. I found a website that offers several different designs and styles at very good prices. I purchased one that I thought would look good in my kitchen. It was shipped yesterday and it really looks nice. It does a good job of keeping the water cold too. The kids think it’s really neat, this made them drink a lot of water yesterday. I hope they continue doing that.
On the 22nd of October 2009 I was given the task to research and report the Shere Khan restaurant in star city for a possible Christmas meal and day out. I decided that the easiest and best way to do the report would be using Microsoft PowerPoint. I started by going on the internet and finding a picture of a curry from the Shere Khan restaurant, to use on my front page. I then put a title on the first page and followed that by inserting the picture of a curry that I had previously saved. I then made a contents page; this was like a plan of what I was going to do. So I had something to work towards and had a clear structure to the pages that needed to be in the report. Next I wrote an introduction so that people knew what the report was about; this also made it look more professional as it was properly laid out. The next thing I did was to get some travel information, to find out the best way for the whole of the group to get to star city. So I opened up the internet and typed in ‘www.google.co.uk’ in the search bar. This then brought me to Google, where I searched for the AA route planner, so I could get a map of the quickest route from the college to star city. I then copied the map into my PowerPoint presentation and enlarged it, so it filled the page and was clearly visible where we needed to go. I was all for going to shere khan in star city because after the meal we could go into the arcade which have water coolers and drinking fountains!
A butcher block can be a wonderful addition to any kitchen and if you been thinking about buying one of these tables for your kitchen, you probably have seen how expensive they can be. That is OK because you can make your own for a lot less money.The popularity of butcher block is understandable because not only are they a great table for a variety of things but they are also quite attractive and add a nice touch to your kitchen.If the decision is to make your own Butcher Block, you will need to make sure that you know exactly what kind of wood that you want for your table. There are a couple of woods you should stay clear of when making the table. Those would be oak and spalted maple. Other woods such as beech, hard maple, walnut and ash are all great woods to make butcher block from.After you have chosen the wood that you want to use, you can then go and get an unfinished pre-made butcher block table or you can actually make your own. It is important that the thickness is at least one and a half inches thick if not more. The thicker it is the better it will hold up against a lot of use. If you have no woodworking experience at all it would probably be wise if you did buy the unfinished pre-made butcher block table top.If you decide however to make it from scratch you can take the end grain of the wood and cut on the grain surface because this part of the wood is far more durable. Using the end grain will mean that there will be more pieces to put together so you might want to go with the side grain which will be less pieces and it is almost as sturdy.To make your own, take your butcher block and cut it into one by two inch pieces that are cut about one half inch longer than what the actual table length is going to be. These pieces all need to be glued together along the two inch side which will make the side grain will show up in one inch pieces. The amount of strips that you will need will depend upon the actual size of the table. So if your table is say two feet by four feet you would need overall 32 pieces.Once you have all the pieces cut and ready to glue, make sure that you get a good strong wood glue that you will need to piece all the wood strips together. Glue all the strips together and hold the pieces together with clamps. Once it is dry you should take some sand paper and gently sand off any excess glue that may be on the wood.The step you will now take is while using a table saw cut off all the individual ends to where they are all even with each other for a smooth edge. This will also even out your table top.Take sandpaper or a sander if you have one and begin sanding both the top and the bottom of the Butcher Block. You want the wood to be as smooth as possible.The next phase goes for both the pre-made table top and the hand crafted one. You will now want to round out the corners, this can be done with a router and while you are doing it, if you want you can be creative as well. Most however; only round the edges. The reason for this is safety and it makes it easier to clean after use.After the edges are rounded nicely the next thing you will do is add oil to the surface of the table. The best oils to use are either mineral oil or olive oil. Once you have rubbed it in make sure to let it soak into the wood. Now, you will sand it one more time before adding a second layer of the oil. A smart thing to do to keep the wood in good shape is to put oil on it one time a month if possible.Unless you are very good at woodworking, you are going to want to purchase legs from a hardware store. There are a variety of different types of legs that you can purchase anywhere from wrought iron to a variety of woods. The best thing in this stage is to be creative. Get something that is going to make your table stand out. What you decide to do with regards to the legs is only limited to your imagination.
