Fish Cooking Basics
I must admit that I have met more than a few fishermen that know every trick in the book to catch fish, but after they have caught it, have no idea what to do with it. So if you are still wondering what you should be doing with those fish you caught, I have some help for you. The basic techniques for turning those fish into food are very simple and I have outlined the basic information and cooking methods for you.
10 minutes to the inch
Whether you are grilling, frying, baking, poaching, steaming of broiling your fish, the basic rule is that it will take 8-10 minutes of cooking time for every inch of thickness. The biggest mistake most people make in cooking fish is to over cook it. Now if the fish is frozen, count on 20 minutes per inch.
It starts at the water
Fish can degrade quickly after you catch it. One thing you can do to prevent this is kill the fish as quickly as possible. Smack it in the head with a club, then cut the gills with a knife. This will bleed the fish out quickly and slow down spoilage.
You caught it, you clean it
OK, so you probably know this already, but you need to clean the innards out, using a sharpknife and your thumb or narrow spoon. The longer you leave that stuff in there, the more chance it will have to start messing with the fish's flavor.
When is it done?
The classical definition is that fish is done when it hits 160

I Was at the Point of Giving Up With My Website - Then Something Wonderful Happened!
This wasn't meant to sound like one of those "rags to riches" stories but for me, it sure seems that way.Hello. My name is Gary Simpson. I live in Perth, Western Australia.My internet presence commenced in August 2002 after I signed up with what has now become known as a notorious web-host company (if they could be called that). They fleeced me for several thousand dollars at an all day "seminar." I exchanged good money for a litany of broken promises, inferior template design, ongoing costs and shocking service. Ouch! Welcome to the world wide web Gary!After suffering far too long trying to make that useless scenario work I paid a lovely lady even more money to extract me from their clutches. I struggled along over the next few years with poor listings and quite dismal results. This was despite the massive effort that I was putting in to boost my site in the search engines.In desperation, I bought lots of so-called "secret" reports from what I now know are self-styled internet "gurus" - all professing to have the "magic formula." None of them were any good. I got so frustrated and angry that I wrote a series of articles called "A Simple Guide to Analyzing All Those Web Traffic Ideas (Parts 1 to 4). Those articles are now all over the net.I was at the point of giving up. Then, via a mutual acquaintance, I contacted Linda Caroll. Suddenly, I realized that I was talking to somebody who was extremely knowledgeable with website design and all matters concerning the internet. I quickly came to realize that this lady had the morals and ethics so sadly lacking with the first host and all the quick-fix scam artists running riot across the net. My previous frustration now turned back to the enthusiasm I had prior to getting tangled up with all the scammers.Linda began to teach me her methods through a superb set of manuals she has produced called "Google-This!" She also completely re-designed my website from scratch using those very methods she writes about. What a difference! Yes, you can visit my website to have a look for yourself but the "motor" is behind the screen that you will see. That is where Linda's website coding brilliance resides."Google-This" has taught me the value of proper keyword optimization, the value of linkback, page rankings, keyword density and general design and presentation principles. Within days my new site was already listed at number one and two for selected keywords and phrases on many large search engines. Wow! The site hadn't even been finished.All of a sudden I was seeing search engine robots and spiders literally crawling all over my site. I was getting visitors from so many countries it was mind-boggling. And, looking at my control panel, they are coming via numerous techniques that Linda has used.Linda Caroll's methods work!Her "Google-This!" pack should be endorsed by Google itself because it sets out very clearly what the search engines are looking for and how to satisfy those needs ethically.Linda denounces all the trickery that so many "gurus" and rogues promote. So do I! Their silly schemes work just long enough for them to reap huge financial rewards. Then, all those who paid the high price for the latest "secret technique" pay an even higher price - they fall down the listings or, even worse, are banned completely from the search engines.The rogues then set about promoting a new scheme to attract a new set of hopefuls. Oh Lord!If your website is failing or limping along like mine was then you need to contact Linda Caroll. Better still take advantage of the "Google-This" pack first. Read it. Study it. Then contact Linda. That will allow you to talk to her from a position of mutual understanding.I can hardly wait to get the next edition of Linda's website knowledge. She mentioned to me that she has seven books planned. "Google-This" is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, it is the THIRD book of the series. She wrote it FIRST because she believes that it will give more people greater benefits, quicker. I plan to get every one of her books and study them to improve my understanding. I am continually amazed at the depth of her vast knowledge.I bought all the other junk. I fell for all the tricks. You don't have to. Linda is the real deal.Linda Caroll stands for good old-fashioned technique, morals and ethics. What better combination could you have?About the author: Gary Simpson is the author of eight books covering a diverse range of subjects such as self esteem, affirmations, self defense, finance and much more.

The Wonderful Siamese Cat
The Wonderful Siamese Cat
This mysterious cat is originally from the country of Siam, now known as Thailand. Siamese cats were highly esteemed by generations of Siamese monarchs,
even to the extent that they resided in the royal palace. You wanna talk about the royalty of the cat world! They were trusted to protect the palace as well as monasteries from evil spirits and were also thought to bring good fortune.In the year 1884, the first Siamese cats made their way to England when the current Monarch of Siam decided to gift them to a top general in the British Army. They made their way from there to America. The Siamese cat is now one of the most
recognized domestic cat breeds around. According to the Cat Fancy Association they are the single most popular shorthair cat and the 3rd most popular breed of cat overall.Although this breed features a variety of different colors, there are some disagreements concerning what makes a true Siamese cat and what does not Still, these delightful felines are well known for bodies that are mostly light in color with darker areas called points. The darker points are generally (but not always) around the face, legs, feet and the tail.
Weighing in at between about 8 and 15 lbs, this blue eyed sensation of the cat world has 2 distinct body types.The modern Siamese have long and elegant bodies with very refined tapering lines and wedge-shaped heads to match.Conversely the traditional Siamese cat is a robust and round-headed creature with a muscular physique
These particular cats are as well-known for their distinct personalities as for their color points. They have a great talent for communicating with people that other cats simply do not have. If you like to come home to peace and quiet, then you may want to consider another cat altogether.

They crave interaction and they really love their games! These cats are simply not meant to be left alone for too long.While this cat may be high maintenance emotionally, they are generally not in any other area. For example they need only a minimum of grooming.Because their coats are so close as to appear painted on, a gentle weekly brushing is usually enouph. Like all other types of cats, they have a few minor genetic faults, such as occasional crossed eyes and kinked tail, which are primarily cosmetic concerns.In terms of life expectency, these cats are blessed with above-average life spans compared to other cats, generally between fiften to twenty years and sometimes longer.
