I really like vampires!! Vampires are intense and based on European folklore. Do you have any favorite vampires? I think dracula is the best one!!! He's one of the best! He's based on the character from the 1897 horror book of the same name. wow. i like reading scary novels It's a great book! It kick-started the vampire popularity, I would argue. European folklore has a ton of pretty dark stuff. One thing I don't like! TWILIGHT lol

Vampire A vampire is a being from folklore that subsists by feeding on the vital force (generally in the form of blood) of the living. In European folklore, vampires were undead beings that often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighborhoods they inhabited while they were alive. They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today's gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early 19th century. Vampiric entities have been recorded in most cultures;

I enjoy playing the piano which is a very old instrument and very expensive. There are lots of famous songs that feature pianos of course. I enjoy playing the piano too! Surprisingly, the piano is much younger than I thought. It was invented in 1700. I thought it was much much older! I thought it was much older than that as well? I think about classical composers and feel like it should be at least a couple hundred years older than 1700.

Piano The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700 (the exact year is uncertain), in which the strings are struck by hammers. It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings. The word piano is a shortened form of "pianoforte", the Italian term for the early 1700s versions

I love baking muffins, especially the quickbread kind and not the flatbread kind. I like muffins, although, I've never baked them. Baking is so much fun, you should try it once. Though I can't blame you because fresh baked muffins are sold so commonly and are so convenient. I've never baked once in my life actually. My mom used to bake all kinds of things, freshly baked meals are often so satisfying.

Baking Baking is a method of preparing food that uses dry heat, normally in an oven, but can also be done in hot ashes, or on hot stones. The most common baked item is bread but many other types of foods are baked. Heat is gradually transferred "from the surface of cakes, cookies, and breads to their center. As heat travels through, it transforms batters and doughs into baked goods and more with a firm dry crust and a softer centre". Baking can be combined with grilling

often used in baking, such as blueberry muffins, blackberry muffins, berry cobblers, berry crisps, berry cakes, berry buckles, berry crumb cakes, berry tea cakes, and berry cookies. Berries are commonly incorporated whole into the batter for baking, and care is often taken so as to not burst the berries. Frozen or dried berries may be preferable for some baked berry products. Fresh berries are also often incorporated into baked berry desserts, sometimes with cream, either as a filling to the dessert or as a topping

Collies are such great dogs, especially with how much I love herding dogs. How long has the Collies breed of dog been around? I'm not sure, but I do know that they are usually medium sized dogs with pointed snouts which I love. What other herding dog breeds are there? There's the Australian Cattle Dog, which of course herd cattle. Is the Australian Cattle Dog a large breed of dog?

Australian Cattle Dog The Australian Cattle Dog (ACD), or simply Cattle Dog, is a breed of herding dog originally developed in Australia for droving cattle over long distances across rough terrain. This breed is a medium-sized, short-coated dog that occurs in two main colour forms. It has either brown or black hair distributed fairly evenly through a white coat, which gives the appearance of a "red" or "blue" dog. As with dogs from other working breeds, the Australian Cattle Dog

Is that beer better then mass produced beer that is well known, like bud light, or Budweiser?

Microbrewery A microbrewery or craft brewery is a brewery that produces small amounts of beer, typically much smaller than large-scale corporate breweries, and is independently owned. Such breweries are generally characterized by their emphasis on quality, flavor and brewing technique. The microbrewing movement began in the United Kingdom in the 1970s, although traditional artisanal brewing existed in Europe for centuries and subsequently spread to other countries. As the movement grew, and some breweries expanded their production and distribution, the more encompassing concept of craft brewing emerged.

Hello! Are you into long-distance running? No long distance running, endurance running, is not my thing. How about you? No, not really. I don't like to run far distances. I prefer a long walk. Do you like to run at all?

Long-distance running Long-distance running, or endurance running, is a form of continuous running over distances of at least 3 kilometres (1.8 miles). Physiologically, it is largely aerobic in nature and requires stamina as well as mental strength. Among mammals, humans are well adapted for running significant distances, and particularly so among primates. The endurance running hypothesis suggests that running endurance in the genus "Homo" arose because travelling over large areas improved scavenging opportunities and allowed persistence hunting.

Gōjū-ryū , Japanese for "hard-soft style", is one of the main traditional Okinawan styles of karate, featuring a combination of hard and soft techniques. Both principles, hard and soft, come from the famous martial arts book used by Okinawan masters during the 19th and 20th centuries, the "Bubishi" ().

Their long association with humans has led dogs to be uniquely attuned to human behavior and they are able to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canid species.

The project has caused changes in the domesticated foxes in comparison to the wild silver foxes in regards to morphology and temperament. For example, the domesticated silver foxes have been seen to have molted or spotted colored fur and they have become tamer. The changes in temperament are believed to be a result of a lower production of adrenaline, and the selection for tameness

Do you prefer blonde or dark coffee beans? Or are there other kinds of beans too?

Coffee roasting Roasting coffee transforms the chemical and physical properties of green coffee beans into roasted coffee products. The roasting process is what produces the characteristic flavor of coffee by causing the green coffee beans to change in taste. Unroasted beans contain similar if not higher levels of acids, protein, sugars, and caffeine as those that have been roasted, but lack the taste of roasted coffee beans due to the Maillard and other chemical reactions that occur during roasting. The vast majority of coffee is roasted commercially on a large scale

The Telegraph noted in an article that Starbucks had temporarily closed some of its outlets to retrain baristas, citing problems with barista preparation of espresso drinks and poor practices such as re-foaming milk or calibrating pressure for non-optimal brewing time.
