A very popular Japanese guitar brand. They have successfully marketed Ibanez in numerous countries around the world. Ibanez produces electric guitars, basses, hollow bodies, acoustics and eletronics and they are the first from Japan to break into the European and American markets. The newer Ibanez models had more modern styles in their design such as radical body shapes, slimmer necks, 2-octave fingerboards, slim pointed headstocks, higher-output electronics, humbucker/single-coil/humbucker (H/S/H) pickup configurations, locking tremolo bridges and different finishes.

Ahh.....rearing fish is a very rewarding hobby. Most people don't realize that rearing fish is not that difficult but at the same time, it does require some specialized equipment. It is not just a bowl and some water but a little more than that. And of course a little knowledge of rearing and breeding would greatly determine the success. I remember when I was young, I have an aquarium and I spent hours and hours looking at the fish which I have. Kind of relaxing actually. Anyway, if you are into rearing fish, you might want to take a look at this site.  They claim to be one of the largest aquarium supplier online - check out the categories. You will find air pumps, cleaning supplies, fish bowls, filters, lightings, decorations, food, feeders, salt mixes, temperature control and many more, all to keep your fish happy. The most expensive part would probably be the aqurium itself but once that is over, rearing fish shouldn't be expensive.

Drink of the Vikings. Nectar of the gods. Golden elixir. Whatever. All I know is that it taste good. I had never expected mead to be this good. I guess seeing the vikings being tough and tumble kind of people, I didn't know they appreciate good food and wine. Mead is just money water that has been fermented and it becomes some sort of alcoholic drink. From what I read, it has recently become popular once again, after the vikings have vanished. Thank the gods for the vikings then. There is increased demand for mead and I start spotting meads in my local liquor store, a good sign that people are starting to take mead more seriously. Anyway, this site is all about mead - you can read news, articles, recipes, honey and beekeeping on this site. You can also read interviews on owners of meaderies on the mead industry. Pretty interesting if you ask me. It is always good to have the opinion of experts in the field. If you are bored with the wines or beer, perhaps you should start trying out the commerically available meads in the store. You might be surprised.

The name of the site is Reef Central, what do you think it is about? Skimpily dressed women? Music? Movies? What? Yes, you finally got it - it is about reefs. To be exact, it is about helping salt water aquarium hobbyist setup a proper reef. I have tried it before and it is not easy. And I am living in a more or less tropical area! A lot of time, effort, knowledge and money is needed to setup a aquarium reef. And don't expect success just like that. This is definitely not for the beginner hobbyists. They have a range of "calculators" to help you find out the correct amount of this and that so that your reef will survive. They even have a reef keeping magazine - something which I would have never expect. You can check out examples of some of them on this site. But seriously, reefs can be extremely beautiful. I have seen people successfully creating a reef system that looks right out of some photoshoot. For me, I have completely given up and now I lack the cash to take up the hobby again. Too bad.

Very nice name - Fish And Save. This is not about saving fishes from over-fishing or from pollution of our waters, it is just a site selling fishing accessories. So they are actually contributing to the problem of over-fishing. The name "Fish And Save" meant that you save money buying fishing accessories from their shop. That's it. When I was younger, I actually like fishing - I would buy those extremely cheap fishing rods (plastic ones!) and spend hours at the jetty fishing my time away. Yes, it is a pretty good hobby and doesn't really have to be expensive. Not to mention, you can do other things as well while you wait for the fish to bite. I spent most of the time sleeping. Find a comfortable spot and just take a nap. Too bad most of my friends don't like fishing. Anyway, this online retail site sells everything you need to fish, like tackle, rods, reels, lures and even speciality fishing items (like for bass fishing or for Salmon fishing). Try them out if you are into fishing.

Yes, wine making. Most people think that wine making is very complicated but honestly, it is pretty easy. I mean making wine is easy but making good wine can be very difficult. A lot of expertise, knowledge, money and effort is needed. And we all know that making good wines take time so it does teach patience, something which is lacking in most of us these days. But the home wine maker will usually not be able to make those expensive types of wine due to the lack of resource to wineyards but at least you will get a decent wine in the end. I myself have done several wines and they do turn out decent - and when I talk about decent, I am talking about "drinkable which means you won't puke when you drink. There are other expert home wine makers out there and you will be able to find some of their recipes and tips on this site. They even have an on-line store for you to purchase wine making supplies. Some of the common items should be available in your kitchen however it does require several specialized equipment.
