Whats so special about Kobe beef? The Japanese adore beef, but cannot get enough because the country is too small for large-scale cattle raising. An exception are the cows of Kobe, who live the good life: they drink beer, are massaged three times a day to keep their meat tender, and are sung to, making them feel serene. Kobe beef is world-famous for its flavor, although chances of finding any outside Japan are almost nil. A few restaurants in the United States import the rare commodity, charging more than one hundred dollars for a 16-ounce, one-inch-thick steak. What was Clints first role? In the early 1950s, Clint Eastwood signed a $75-a-week contract with Universal to do walk-ons in low-budget horror flicks like Revenge of the Creature. He was fired when studio executives decided his Adams apple protruded too much for him to be star material. For some time, Eastwood took on odd jobs, such as digging swimming pools, to augment what little money he could make from small parts in TV series like Highway Patrol. However, once he was cast as Rowdy Yates on the TV western Rawhide in 1958, Eastwoods star began to shoot to the top. Which cave has a grand ballroom? West Virginia’s largest and most beautiful caverns, Seneca Caverns, are located in West Virginia in the Appalachian Mountain range. Seneca Caverns were discovered in 1760, and tours began in 1930. The Seneca tribe used the caverns in the 1600s and 1700s for ceremonies and as refuge from winter storms and enemy tribes. Spectacular natural formations and huge chambers provide majestic views for visitors and photographers. A major feature of the cave is the breathtaking Grand Ballroom, measuring 60 feet by 30 feet, and 70 feet high. It can hold several hundred people, and features an extraordinary natural balcony on its back wall.
