Exclusive only in TRINITY Hotels.
Widen the horizons of your team building.
TRINITY Hotels in cooperation with INNER WINNER SLOVENSKO would like to offer you an unconventional form of team building in Slovakia that has been preferred by more than 60% of the 400 largest international companies (source: FORBES).
Avail yourselves of interesting ways how to foster your team spirit and gain new energy which will enhance the potential of not only your employees but also of your business partners.
What is Original Rhythm Team?
Original Rhythm Team is an educational project aimed at personal development, building and evolving the team, communication, cooperation, timing and people management. It employs so-called corporate drumming and methods 'drum circle' which involve all participants actively drumming or playing another rhythmical instrument.
According to anthropological research the drum is the oldest means of communication and common drumming is the oldest form of team communication. Rhythm is a universal language capable of eliminating differences among people – nationality, sex, age, race, professional or social distinctions. It is a non-verbal, primary means of communication that reveals stereotyped patterns of your team's communication behaviour.
Nowadays corporate drumming is the most progressive method of building and evolving teams. 60% of the 400 largest international companies implemented this technique so as to foster development of their teams in 2007 (source: FORBES); and this figure keeps growing continuously… Original Rhythm Team as the first of all brings this modern trend into Middle and Eastern Europe!
Corporate drumming is a method of developing not only work teams but it can help you tune your audience during conferences or team building sessions. It uses drums and other rhythmical instruments in order to transform all the participants into one single orchestra. Corporate drumming is based on the latest discoveries concerning human brain functions and on the oldest means of team cooperation known in all world cultures – rhythmical rituals.
Thanks to tuning in the audience and team to 'one wave' and because of direct parallels in communication, leadership and collaboration, corporate drumming presents one of the most wide-spread forms of team building throughout the whole globe.
The method of corporate drumming ensures 100% attention of all participants regarding a specific topic at a conference or meeting. At the beginning of a conference every participant has a different degree of alertness and attention; it can easily be likened to the example of radio waves – every one of them emits and receives signal on its frequency. As early as after 20 minutes of corporate drumming the attention of all participants will gradually unify and 'tune' to one wave – one frequency. This step simplifies reception of crucial information. Apart from this benefit, corporate drumming will secure energy rejuvenation, entertainment and establish connection with your corporate culture (i.e. a motivational kick-off element of meetings).
This method is also used for the purposes of team cooperation, communication education sessions and transformation leadership courses.
If you were taught at school that supposing a human cell came in touch with an object of 200 degrees Celsius it would inevitably die off, then how is it possible that some people are able to walk on coal burning at 500 degrees Celsius?
Is it possible to break an arrow against a human throat, walk on broken glass shards, break through a plank with a bare fist or bend an iron bar? Yes, it is!
These disciplines are not meant to amaze or entertain the audience but function as transformation methods which permit you to transcend your limitations and venture beyond what is deemed feasible. If you are able to walk through fire, you can likewise face challenges in your everyday life and apply the experience from your victory in daily practice. Your inner boundaries will move farther away and your potential will rise...
The key to walking on burning coal is the state of your mind – full integration of spirit and body, a moment of complete concentration and trust in the process. Fire walking lays emphasis on the process at the end of which we find ourselves in front of the line of burning coal. The process itself is more important than the ending. During this process you are searching for your inner voice, your guide who helps you make decisions in extreme situations. You will experience first-hand that whatever you consider insurmountable can be surpassed with your 100% concentration, conscious decision and programming your brain to success.
A process of inner integration is beginning, presenting a vital step in preparing yourselves for walking on burning coal. In the end it is not important whether you cross the line of burning coal or not – the final decision will be made based on your inner voice. And this decision is always going to be correct. This integrity and capacity to stretch and move their boundaries will be absorbed by all participants alike who will, just like the gift of fire, take and carry it to their everyday life.

Coming out of blog-hiatus at least for now to join in on Special Needs Ryan Gosling with Sunday at Adventures in Extreme Parenting. I found this meme last summer, right about the time she stopped doing it for a while (of course! lol) so I never had a chance to participate and thought it looked like fun.
And now she's brought it back, yay! :D
There was a time that we couldn't seem to go anywhere without making a scene. Sure, it may feel like people are staring because you're wrestling your child to keep him from running out into the parking lot, or chasing him down the aisles of the store way faster than you should attempt running because you're afraid to let him out of your line of sight, or dropping to the ground mid-stride in a vain attempt to catch him before he licks the sidewalk *again*. I mean, I can see why you might *think* that's why people are staring. But maybe, just maybe, Ryan is onto something and it's really because we're such hot mamas ;). It's possible, right?
In other news, a few words of encouragement: This stuff HAS eventually gotten better. The chasing, the wrestling, the public meltdowns and screamfests... it didn't happen overnight (not by a long shot) and it took establishing a familiar routine for pretty much everything and everywhere, and sometimes we still attract unwanted attention... but you know what? Even if the kids are loud they're *usually* not screaming. They may be flapping and jumping but they're not *entirely* pinging off the walls. One still likes to roll around on the floor (and yes, I make him get up), but he's *not* licking the floor anymore. They either hold my hand (the 8 y/o) or actually stop when I remind them to stop and watch for cars before walking to the parking lot (the 12 y/o's). I still feel that familiar wave of relief whenever we are back in the car or house (translation: safely contained) but generally the exhaustion level of taking everyone out is so. much. better.

After taking two months off, I've managed to write almost exactly 70,000 words so far in September. That's a pretty solid amount! It's not a record for speed, but this has always been more about endurance, which, previously, I've never had. The last time I wrote something even near this long was way back in January of 2013. In that month, I wrote about 130,000 words. Then I took a month off, and that month persists to this day and may stretch on for the rest of my life.
But this novel, I'm determined to finish it, if only to prove to myself that I can work consistently at a project, gradually chip away at it until it's finished.
In the past, anytime I took a break of longer than three days, it usually meant I was never going to finish that book. I have about a dozen of novels in various states of completion because of this. Way back in January, I thought that would be the state of this novel as well. And for nearly half the year, it was. Then I pushed into it, wrote about 120,000 words over two months. Then took a month off which became two, and now I'm here, my wordcount now tipping past 200,000, with so many more words to left to write.
It's interesting to have written about 70,000 words so far this month. It's roughly the length I thought the whole novel would be. As it stands now, it's about one third of the novel. I've been able to push and fight and chip away at the novel, form it into what I want it to be.
I mention this because I'm taking the day off. It's not the first day off I've taken this week. I've missed maybe three or four days. Usually because I was driving for 6-10 hours during those days.
I want to finish this before my birthday still, but there's just no way. I have about twelve days(?) and just too many words to write. I'd have to average between 8,000 and 12,000 words a day, which isn't impossible either. I've done it before! But it just won't happen. I have a wife, a job, and a life I need to live, so I can no longer hole myself up with my computer for 20 hours a day. Now I'm usually lucky to have five uninterrupted hours to write spread throughout the day.
In some ways, that's been useful. Quick, big creative bursts. Taking a break is useful to any creative process [assuming you come back to it], whether it's a month or an hour, and so I've been able to hit 4,000 to 7,000 words pretty regularly, even with a truncated amount of time to work on the novel.
But that's not the real reason I'm taking today off. And I may still come back and throw some words down later. The day off is because I only slept about three or four hours last night. I spent most of the night sneezing due to the most annoying kind of cold. I could have slept in, probably, but cats wait for no man and he slept like a baby while I suffered.
Anyrate, because I couldn't sleep, I went back into the Liveship Traders Trilogy by Robin Hobb and finally finished the third book in the trilogy.
Not that it took me long to read, but it feels like a long time, considering how quickly I read the first two books. Those first two books, incidentally, are why my break from the novel kept extending. I couldn't put them down! And I finally willed myself back into my novel, but I still read from the third book in the trilogy almost every day. So instead of reading 1,000 pages in a few days, it took me a few weeks.
The kind of self control I'm not known for!
But, man, Robin Hobb. I think she's my favorite fantasy writer.
You can find my thoughts on her Farseer Trilogy:
And the Liveship Trilogy:
These books are inexplicably amazing. The Farseer Trilogy is maybe my favorite reading experience of last year. FitzChivalry is my heart. He's all my hopeless romanticism, my teenage foolishness and recklessness. That trilogy is all from a single perspective, in what amounts to a more or less european medieval society. It's full of so much power and heart and beauty. Failure stands at the core of those novels. How we fail and in failing find success, even if it's never the success we hoped to one day achieve. It's the bittersweetness of understanding the harm you did when you believed you were doing your best. It's accepting all that we've done. All the chaos and pain and torment. Rather than push that away and move past it, it forces us to embrace all the terror that we are.
I love it so much.
Because I loved it so much, I didn't want to read The Liveship Trilogy, which follows it. It's in the same world, but quite a far distance from the events of the Farseer Trilogy. Further, there's a follow up trilogy that goes back to FitzChivalry. That's what I wanted to read! But I was afraid I'd miss something important in the overall story of the world, so instead of choosing, I sat in indecision for almost exactly a year.
I finally picked up the Liveship Trilogy and literally could not put it down. It's stupid for me to have waited so long. The setting is a bit different, showing a much more complex world with much more depth than you might have assumed from just reading the Farseer Trilogy. The focus is much wider. Rather than centering on one hapless hero who narrates his life, it bounces through a cast of about ten main characters. Most of them members of the same family.
I love it. I love it so much I can't believe it. I almost want to skip the next FitzChivalry trilogy and move onto the follow up of the lives of these other characters in their corner of the world.
I won't, of course, but that's how good this trilogy is. Everything is so real. There are big ideas here. Bigger ideas than the Farseer Trilogy deals with. But there's the same depth of emotion. Maybe even deeper. You come to know these characters–all of them–as intimately as you know FitzChivalry.
What I find most interesting about it is how hope suffuses so much of it. Failure is still key here, but this is a much more optimistic work, I think. However, there is some serious darkness here. Some moments that will haunt you and gnaw at your bones. It's not as brutal a story as FitzChivarly, but it's not exactly an easy life we come to know through these characters.
Also of interest is the shape the world begins to take. The Liveship Trilogy begins in a land that once had gender equality, but is currently as patriarchal as just about anywhere in our own reality. As the story moves forward, women must navigate this in a variety of ways. The world's peril is not solved by the men who created it. Rather, the women of the novel take the world in their hands and work to make it better. By refusing to allow men to control their lives, they do more than find personal freedom. They save a nation (or four).
There's so much I could say about Robin Hobb as a writer. She's so confident. Handling action and adventure or political intrigue or family drama all with such skill that it feels effortless. Her plots are intricate and beautiful and dark and twisted but so full of love. Love love love.
And I love her writing. It's astounding to me that she's not known in the way that some of the other big name fantasy writers are. Surely it's because she's a woman, yeah. But she stands head and shoulders above so many of her peers. Her unflinching and grim reality with characters so real I can see them in my head the way I can recall the faces and voices of old friends. And her world is as rich and deep as anything any of her contemporaries have done.
Robin Hobb is a marvel and I cannot wait to keep reading her. Part of me wants to parcel it out, take on a new trilogy every summer, but I may end up jumping ahead into the next one before the end of the year.
Anyrate, she's someone you should read if you have any interest in fantasy fiction.

Just a few days after an IMDB report which described it appeared online, and after playing before Inglourious Basterds in theaters, we now have the first teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan's Inception to view for ourselves! It comes to us after months of mystery and speculation surrounding the movie, pertaining to even just the simple premise.
The trailer does little to remedy that, but is cool as hell nonetheless.
So far with Inception we've had some set images, a set report, some character names/short descriptions and an enigmatic short plot outline of, "A contemporary sci-fi thriller set within the architecture of the mind," to go on. All of that hasn't really given us much insight into what the movie is actually about. A rumored plot outline has been circulating that described the film as being about entering people's dreams and planting/retrieving information, but that has not been confirmed as genuine (although it sounds plausible to me).
The teaser trailer is exactly that... a teaser, showing little actual footage and still not giving us much regarding what the movie is about. Basically it plays up the fact that Nolan directed the mega success that is/was The Dark Knight, and tightens the tension throughout. It's not much to go on, but it's still a very well done teaser for what it is. Enjoy:
For the HD version you can head over to Yahoo! Movies.
What the hell is going on in that hallway?! It looks like they're in a hallway that is either being turned on some sort of swivel, or the gravity has been removed/lessened. With all this talk of entering dreams and being, "set within the architecture of the mind," I wouldn't be surprised if that was some sort of Matrix style fight sequence dreamt by Leonardo DiCaprio's character. And what's with that weird silver spinning top (which can also be found on the film's official website)? I could go on and on with the questions...
The trailer is certainly fulfilling its purpose with me: Teasing with a little bit of footage and getting my mind buzzing as to what it could all mean.
I can't wait to see what a FULL trailer will show us...
Inception stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy. It is (of course) directed by Christopher Nolan.
What do you make of the first teaser for Inception? Any ideas what the story will be about going by the vague hints in this trailer?
Inception is currently filming and has a release date of July 16th, 2010.

Feathers and Fools is an allegory about how wars can begin with a simple fear of others based on misconceptions. For some time the swans and peacocks have lived peacefully by a pond. One day the peacocks begin to contemplate the differences between themselves and their neighbours. This then leads to the fear that the swans may one day change the peacock's way of life. With this fear fully ingrained in their minds, they begin to build arms against their neighbours. "We shall hurl these arrows at their throats and slaughter everyone should they ever try to change our way of life."
Upon hearing this, the swans began to build arms against the peacocks in fear that they would be attacked. The fear grew as each group acquired more and more arms against each other. The peacocks soon mistook the action of a swan as an act of aggression and thus, a war began. "Soon cries filled the sir and blood darkened the earth." When all the feathers had settled, there were no birds to be found, both swans and peacocks had been destroyed.
Foxs antiwar story touches on a common issue many nations face and how humans handle the concept of war. As history has revealed, humans have begun wars often times with very little knowledge of their opponents on the battlefield. The author artfully displays how mankind, although similar in many ways can decimate each other because of our lack of knowledge of the similarities amongst all groups. At the end of the story, Fox gives us a hopeful ending with the hatching of a lone peacock and a lone swan. These young birds meet and notice how similar they are and soon become friends. "So off they went together, in peace and unafraid, to face the day and share the world." Fox recognizes that present and future generations hold the keys to ending war.
The main characters, swans and peacocks are interchangeable with any nation, country, or people who have endured wars and their aftermaths. The book also emphasizes the importance of learning from history and not repeating it. Illustrator Nicholas Wiltons paintings bring out the beauty of the worlds of the peacock and swan. With acrylic jewel tone paints, he captures the beauty of the peacocks bright feathers and the swans graceful profile. As the story progresses, you can see the changes of the birds body language and actions helping bring emphasis on how the building toward war changes reactions and opinions of the two sides. The paintings were created to evoke the feeling of a folktale or fable with its aged looks and block style borders. Feathers and Fools is a wonderful book that could open the possibility for the discussion of topics such as war, the arms race, and similarities amongst people and their ways of lives. This book could be used at all levels for discussion.

Tina's new socks are so wonderful she vows to wear them every day! But they begin to smell really, really bad because Tina will not take them off – even to be washed. The kids finally drag Tina down to the river and make her wash those stinky socks, driving away all the fish with the nasty odour! Tina's mom gets her a new shirt as a reward for finally getting her socks clean. A shirt Tina loves so much, she vows never, ever to take it off!
In this Caldecott Honor Book, the way to start the day is to go outside, face the east and greet the sun, as others in the past and present have celebrated the dawn.
"Throughout the book Baylor gives examples of cavemen and cavewomen, of Peruvian Indians, of Egyptians and others who have celebrated the dawn - with drum beats, ringing of bells, gifts of gold or flowers - different people in different ways. Parnall's glittering paintings alternate between swirling shapes in the vibrant hues of sunrise and strong, equally stunning geometrics that depict Pharaohs, Indians, Congolese, and all whom Baylor offers as examples in this beautiful work" - Publishers Weekly

Fortunately, she has left something of herself behind, a song, which keeps knocking on Joey's heart, and a dance, which urges him to get up on his feet and choose again. Choosing was what their song was about, and Grandma's lessons prove strong indeed. Joey chooses to remember Grandma with joy and to take up his daily life again with a spring in his step.

Renew Life First Cleanse
What is First Cleanse?
First Cleanse is a unique, 15 day all natural herbal cleanse, formulated specifically for the `first time` or `sensitive` cleanser. It is designed to stimulate the cleansing and detoxification process of the body`s 7 channels of elimination: the liver, lungs, colon, kidneys, blood, skin, and lymphatic system. First Cleanse is strong enough to be effective, yet gentle enough that it will not cause a `cleansing crisis` which may occur when performing a more advanced cleanse.
How is it delivered?
First Cleanse is a two part cleanse. The first part is an herbal organ detox formula. The second part is a gentle colon cleansing formula. First Cleanse does not contain laxative herbs such as casgara sagrada or senna. It also does not contain magnesium hydroxide, which is used to hydrate the colon in more advanced cleanses.
What does it do?
First Cleanse stimulates the body`s 7 channels of elimination, to enhance the normal process of detoxification (ridding the organs of toxins, free radicals, and pollutants) and cleansing (eliminating these substances through the bowel & urinary tract).
How does it work?
First Cleanse works by directly stimulating the organs, thereby enhancing the detoxification mechanisms of the body. The cleanse contains herbs such as milk thistle, dandelion, and turmeric, which stimulate the liver`s production of bile. The liver transfers toxins into the bile, which is then carried into the intestine, where it is absorbed by fibre and then removed from the body. First Cleanse also contains the herbs buckthorn, rhubarb and triphala which stimulate peristalsis (contraction of the colon), and artichoke which acts as a diuretic to increase the volume of urine excreted. Both aid in the removal of toxins. First Cleanse also contains herbs that stimulate elimination of toxins through the skin and the lungs.
How do I take it?
First Cleanse should be taken as follows: 2 capsules of First Cleanse I in the morning with 250ml of water (1 full glass) on an empty stomach, and 2 capsules of First Cleanse II in the evening with 250ml of water (1 full glass) on an empty stomach. This cleanse will last for 15 days. Increasing your water intake is recommended
as water will help with the cleansing process and keep your body hydrated.
What can I expect?
Depending on your state of health, you can experience a range of results while taking First Cleanse. Customers report results ranging from increased energy, to weight loss, to increased bowel movements. Overall, cleansing is a vital part of maintaining good health and reducing the risk of degenerative diseases.
Support Products
An important aspect of cleansing is to ensure that fibre intake is at an optimal level (30-40 grams per day). Fibre absorbs toxins and brings them to the colon for elimination. It is recommended that you use FibreSMART as directed on the label, as part of your cleansing program and maintenance afterwards.
Once you have finished First Cleanse, you may want to move onto the next level of cleansing with CleanseSMART, a more advanced 30 day cleansing product.
What does it contain?

In celebration of our 3 new white balsamic flavors (Passion Fruit, White Raspberry, and Key Lime), Rachel wrote up a blog on getting creative with balsamics. Read on for a tempting passion fruit cocktail recipe and other tasty surprises!
How To Get Creative With Your Balsamic Vinegars
(Hint: They're not just for salads!)
While working at Port Plums one of the most common phrases I hear daily is "Oh, this balsamic would be delicious on a salad!" While there is no denying that our mouthwatering balsamic vinegars can kick up any salad, the truth is that balsamic vinegars can be used for so much more than just a dressing for lettuce. Since starting working at Port Plums I've gained quite an impressive collection of balsamic vinegars in my own kitchen cabinets, and I soon learned how to get creative with them. Our sweet and tangy vinegars have quickly become one of my favorite ingredients to perk up my every day cooking. I now feel it's only fair to share some of these tips and recipes with other cooks looking for inspiration. Here are some of my favorite ways to use our balsamic vinegars besides in a salad (although that's yummy too!)
Use it to make a perfectly refreshing summer drink
Take a break from sugary lemonade and fruit juice this summer; instead, pour a splash of any of our fruity balsamics into water or seltzer for a sweet and unique refreshment. One of my personal favorite combinations is a couple drops of strawberry balsamic vinegar in iced seltzer with fresh basil leaves on top. It's the perfect drink for any hot day. Try it in smoothies as well for a boost of probiotics!
Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar Smoothie
- 1 banana
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- ½ cup non-fat milk
- ¼ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Strawberry Dark Balsamic Vinegar
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth! (Rachel's Recipe)
Passionate Bubbles
- 4oz Prosecco
- 1 tsp Passion Fruit White Balsamic
- Splash of Lime
- 1/2 Lime Wheel garnish
Pour prosecco in champagne flute. Drizzle with balsamic and add a splash of lime juice. Garnish with 1/2 lime wheel.
Balsamic vinegar for dessert... yes please!
For an unexpectedly delicious twist, drizzle one of our balsamics on ice cream! This is one of my absolute favorite ways to use the vinegars because there are so many fun variations to try. I love the dark chocolate or raspberry balsamic on vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries. Also for a thicker and richer syrup, reduce our maple or traditional balsamic vinegar on the stovetop with a stick of cinnamon and cool before pouring on this noteworthy dessert.
Mini Strawberry Marscapone Tarts with Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 Refrigerated Pie Crust
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled and diced
- 8 oz. container mascarpone cheese
- 3-4 tablespoons Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a different surface, add sugar to the dough and roll into a flat disk about 1/8″ thick, turning and flipping to incorporate sugar and to keep it from sticking to surface. With a 3″ round cutter, cut out 12 dough rounds and arrange them on the lined baking sheet. Bake until crisp and golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the pan. Put diced strawberries in a small bowl and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, mix and let stand about 15 minutes. To assemble the tarts, spread about 2 teaspoons mascarpone on each crisp dough round. Put approximately 1 tablespoon of diced strawberries on top of each "frosted" crisp. Drizzle Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar over the strawberries. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Recipe courtesy of The Olive Tap)
Excite your favorite soup or sauce recipe!
It's no secret that our traditional and Denissimo balsamic vinegars are the perfect match for fresh summer tomatoes, but on cold rainy days they are equally delicious in hearty tomato soups or sauces. I always add a splash of traditional balsamic and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese to my favorite tomato soup in the fall and winter.
Cranberry-Pear Balsamic Glazed Butternut Squash with Rosemary
- 3 cups butternut squash peeled, seeded and diced in to 1" pieces
- 1/3 cup Cranberry-pear White Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Ultra Premium Olive Oil either Hojiblanca or Arbequina
- 3" sprig fresh rosemary, leaves stripped from stem and roughly chopped
- Sea salt & fresh cracked pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl whisk the olive oil and balsamic together until thoroughly combined. Add the rosemary and squash and toss to coat and combine evenly. In a large roasting pan lined with parchment, arrange the squash in a single layer, drizzling with any remaining marinade. Sprinkle liberally with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Roast the squash for 30-35 minutes, stirring a few times until golden brown and caramelized. Adjust seasoning and serve. (Recipe courtesy of A Thyme For All Seasonings)
Add a kick to your dipping sauces
There's no limit to the ways our balsamic vinegars can electrify your party platters. For a fun and tropical alternative to shrimp cocktail sauce, mix sour cream or Greek yogurt with our pineapple or mango white balsamic vinegars. I also love to whip together Greek yogurt, honey, and our grapefruit or Gravenstein apple white balsamic vinegar to make a crowd winning fruit dip!
The possibilities for this often underestimated ingredient are truly endless, and so much fun to play around with! I know all of the employees at Port Plums have fun balsamic recipes they've discovered throughout the years and are happy to share. Also, be sure to come on in and let us know what kinds of unique creations you come up with!
Fig Balsamic Vinegar Relish
- 1 tablespoon any Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 large or 2 small red onions, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup Black Mission Fig Dark Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary, leaves stripped from stems, finely minced
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add red onion and saute 3-4 minutes, until onion begins to turn translucent. Add vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Stir to combine, bring to a boil, turn down the heat, and simmer about 45 minutes, until the mixture is glossy and thickened. Check seasoning and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Cool before serving or storing. (Recipe courtesy of In Erika's Kitchen)

Medicare Supplement Plan A
If you want more coverage than is offered by basic Medicare, but you do not anticipate using too many health care services, then Medicare Supplement Plan A could be right for you. In this plan you do not have to worry about paying for things you won't use, but there could be other costs that creep up occasionally. Medicare Supplement Plan A provides for the following:
- Hospitalization: The plan will pay Part A coinsurance plus coverage for the 365 days following the end of Medicare benefits
- Medical Expenses: The plan covers Part B coinsurance (usually about 20 percent of Medicare approved expenses) and co-payments related to outpatient service
- Blood: The plan will cover the first three pints of blood in any year.

Talking About End Of Life Care Isn't Easy What You Should Know About High Quality In Home Care Services
Home care isn't a very easy conversation to start.
For some it can feel like admitting defeat. That they're unable to take care of their loved ones and are letting everyone down. For others it can seem almost accusatory, as if they're suggesting an older member of the family is becoming a burden. The fact of the matter, however, is that everyone needs help sometimes. End of life care isn't a punishment, but rather, a useful resource that allows everyone to live a high quality of life.
Extended home care services benefit several demographics, from the elderly to those recovering from a severe injury. Learn more about what they can do for you and your loved ones below.

Long Island Volunteer Center &
Nassau County Firefighters Museum
Sponsor 6th Annual Blood Drive
Create a Comfort Kit for Homeless Veterans Too!
Recognizing September 11th as a
National Day of Service & Remembrance
Hempstead, N.Y. – September 2, 2016, The Long Island Volunteer Center (LIVC) and the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center are hosting a Blood Drive on Monday, September 12th from 2:00pm to 8:00pm. The Blood Drive will be held at the Nassau County Firefighters Museum in Garden City. LIVC invites Long Islanders to donate blood to pay tribute to 9/11 victims and heroes. Registration is strongly recommended. Publishers Clearing House is adopting the event as a corporate day of service and the LIU Post Long Island Volunteers Service Club is coordinating a service project to create comfort kits for homeless veterans served by Beacon House at the Northport VA. The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) reports that one out of every six people in a U.S. homeless shelter is a veteran. The harsh reality is that those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces are 50 percent more likely to fall into homelessness than are other Americans.
The Long Island Volunteer Center's goal for the blood drive is 50 pints of blood and 100 comfort kits. The Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center is located on Charles Lindbergh Blvd. (along Museum Row) in Garden City.
"There is no more poignant way to remember those lost on 9/11 than by taking action to give the most personal gift of all, a pint of blood that could save up to three lives," said Diana O'Neill, Executive Director of the Long Island Volunteer Center. Now in its sixth year, LIVC's blood drive marks the September 11th anniversary supporting our country's National Day of Service & Remembrance. "There is a constant need for blood donations in our region. Your generosity could make the difference in someone else's life," explained Ms. O'Neill.
If you would like to donate blood; you must be at least 17 years old, weigh more than 110 pounds and be in general good health without acquiring tattoos for the past 12 months. Sixteen year olds may donate blood with parental consent. Over the age of 76 requires a doctor's note.
About the Long Island Volunteer Center:
The LIVC is the resource center for volunteerism and community service initiatives throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties. Established in 1992, LIVC operates year round and its services are provided free of charge. The LIVC collaborates with corporations and community organizations to address the needs of Long Islanders. LIVC is an affiliate of the HandsOn Network since 2008, connecting agencies seeking volunteers with individuals and groups looking for ways to serve their communities. For more information, contact the Long Island Volunteer Center at 516-564-5482 or visit: www.longislandvolunteercenter.org

|This article may not meet Halo Alpha's standards. You can help by cleaning this article.
The Halo 3: ODST: Terra Incognita focuses on the development of the game. The title is Latin and translates to "Unknown Land" (more literally "Earth Unknown") likely in reference to the game developers and how they entered unfamiliar territory in their development of Halo 3: ODST.[1]
0:12 - Curtis Creamer: There was this great idea that we could get, you know, like maybe a two/three hour sort of mini-campaign.
0:19 - Jay Weinland: Well that was the original plan. Not quite what happened, but, since we pretty much ended up making a full game.
0:27 - Michael Wu: The game gets more and more ambitious, and then next thing you know it's not like anything you've ever worked on before.
0:34 - Joseph Staten: We knew we wanted to keep what was great, that people loved about the Halo experience, that 30 seconds of fun, over and over again. We knew we had to preserve that, but at the same time give it an ODST spin.
0:46 - Paul Bertone Jr.: We wanted to try something that we'd never done before, and I think that means breaking the mold of what people expect from Halo.
0:52 - CJ Cowan: Here's an engine; here's a story; you got a year; go.
{Title displays: HALO 3:ODST ViDoc .TERRA INCOGNITA}
1:02 - Curtis Creamer: One of the great challenges that we had with ODST was, since we didn't want to be traveling all across the universe in this gigantic space opera, we wanted to really focus on one place.
1:13 - Paul Bertone Jr.: The Hub was the single most technical thing that we've ever accomplished in the Halo engine.
1:20 - Curtis Creamer: There was a lot of work done to try to come up with smart ways that we could build the city. It's definitely the biggest environment that we've, that we've made in any Halo game.
1:30 - Paul Bertone Jr.: We spent a lot of time trying to figure out how can we, how can we maximize the space without uh, freaking out all the artists. And I think we figured out how to maximize the space really well, and I don't think we ever figured out that second part too well. (laughs)
1:47 - Blake Low: We want the player to have this open, visceral sort of 'you're in the city' experience. We started experimenting, playing with elevation, playing with building shapes.
1:57 - Samuel Jones: It's a city that you actually completely walk through. Each BSP is directly alongside the other BSP. You walk through the door and go into the other BSP. The road structure is not straight, it's diagonal; it's also multi-layered. I don't think we realized how big the city would get.
2:18 - Alex Pfeiffer: We basically had to build very specific tech, that would give the AI the right type of behavior. We had the technology, we called it squad patrol. No matter where you were inside the Hub there would always be a certain amount of noise, a certain amount of enemy presence there that we ratchet up and ratchet down depending on what we needed it to do.
2:43 - Justin Hayward: We needed to have this dark, moody city, without making it unplayable.
2:50 - Martin O'Donnell: I wanted to get a feeling of rain at night in an abandoned city. I still like to score the emotions and mood that we want the player to feel when they're playing the game.
3:03 - Blake Low: We want people to explore the city. We want people to find this, you know this kind of hidden little sub-story.
3:11 - Joseph Staten: What if the phones rang?
3:15 - Martin O'Donnell: You're alone, you're in the city, you're trying to unravel a mystery, that's the feeling you have every time you're the Rookie.
3:26 - Joseph Staten: What's fun about being an ODST? How's he different from John-117? What kind of challenges does he face versus John?
3:32 - Dan Miller: If they're not the walking tank, they really have to pick up weapons that they're going to use.
3:39 - Joseph Staten: There were weapons that we added. The silenced submachine gun and the silenced pistol are absolutely the best tools for the job. Something the ODST's have that Spartans actually don't.
3:49 - Paul Bertone Jr.: Silenced weapons at night; they feel cool, they look awesome, they're really sweet to use.
3:56 - Jay Weinland: In real life silenced weapons don't have a whole lot of sound. So we had to kind of Hollywood 'em up a little bit. Kind of make it sound like they were silenced and were supposed to be silenced but yet still powerful and fun to fight with.
4:10 - C Paul Johnson: In a lot of ways it feels like Halo 1, because there's... it's back to single wielding.
4:15 - Paul Bertone Jr.: Dual wielding. Paul doesn't like dual wielding. So we cut it. (laughs)
4:23 - Michael Wu: VISR mode is really cool and it evolved a lot. There were versions that looked really great for the art, but yeah, maybe they didn't do such great things for the design.
4:33 - Blake Low: It affected how we lit something. We made this building and it looked great, we thought it was fine. You turn on the VISR mode you realize: that's really just a square.
4:41 - Michael Wu: But it also had the advantage of really showcasing depth of our scenes. Put on VISR mode and then the whole environment reveals its secrets to you.
4:55 - Joseph Staten: You know what sucks about big cities? You can get lost really quick. And that's where we came up with ideas for the VISR database, where you have a great map of the city that not only shows you where you are, but allows you to choose where you want to go.
5:09 - Paul Bertone Jr.: If you don't have that tool to help you navigate the city, you're never gonna find the high-action flashback scenes which we were banking on to be the core fun of the game. It's a very simple idea. It was an amazing struggle to get there.
5:26 - Joseph Staten: When you combine those things we took away with things we added, such as the VISR, even though you might feel a bit more vulnerable, you have the right tools for the job.
5:37 - Lars Bakken: The hardest part about moving from Halo 3 to ODST was just the difference in the play styles of the characters.
5:47 - Joseph Staten: If you look at John-117 in the course of the Halo games, he became ridiculously powerful over time.
5:53 - Lars Bakken: And ODST feels very different because when you start taking fire you can't just continually keep kicking ass. You have to actually look for cover because you don't have a motion tracker like John.
6:11 - Paul Bertone Jr.: Bringing back the health was something that was born out of a discussion about how can we add a long-term level of tension to the game.
6:22 - Joseph Staten: For us health is important in the ODST's world, because it reminds you that you're vulnerable.
6:30 - Paul Bertone Jr.: We want to experience the story through the eyes of many different characters.
6:33 - Martin O'Donnell: We wanted to bring back the guys from Firefly again: Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk. Trying to find the perfect film-noir blonde we thought about Tricia Helfer.
6:44 - Tricia Helfer: (as Dare) Orders are orders.
6:46 - Nathan Fillion: (as Buck) Come on, Veronica. What could be more important than that carrier?
6:50 - Tricia Helfer: (as Dare) My orders. And Buck? Call me Captain. I'll pass on that dance, but you can show me where to sit.
6:59 - Joseph Staten: These little scenes we wanted to have their own mystery. It was the story of one guy, one object, one high-action moment. And for us the clue objects were the key.
7:12 - Buck: Dutch? We need to get above this crap, link up with the B-net. One of our drones must have seen where they hit.
7:17 - Lars Bakken: When you find a clue you're actually going back in time and playing in the boots from another ODST's perspective.
7:24 - Dutch: (to drones flying by) Good hunting, boys. I'm keeping my boots on the ground.
7:29 - CJ Cowan: We've got five main characters.
7:32 - Joseph Staten: Each of the characters have things to say from first person. Not only ground you in the character, but also give you some really useful tactical information about the battlefield.
7:41 - Dutch: There's a Covenant dropship behind us, they must know this is our rally point.
7:43 - Dutch: Where the heck did these buggers come from?
7:46 - Mickey: Underground tunnels are filled with the damn things!
7:48 - Dutch: We got ammo and weapons on the high ground. Move it, move it!
7:50 - CJ Cowan: Without spending a lot of effort personalizing each of those characters then it wouldn't mean as much when you step into their boots.
7:56 - Buck: We need some help in here!
7:58 - Mickey: 'Bam!' said the lady!
8:00 - Michael Wu: So I hope it's the right balance of new and old. I hope it doesn't come off like we're, like we've screwed the pooch on this one. But I do think they will probably walk away from this honestly wanting more.
8:16 - Buck: Whoa!
8:17 - Joseph Staten: Honestly, if we had more time to do ODST I really don't know what we would do differently. So if I got another two weeks? I don't know. I guess I'd play more ODST.

" Imagine a world in which most of the
vehicles are electric and yet they are
powered off the grid by natural gas
and solar. So you reduce coal emissions and
you reduce burning oil. Eighty percent of all
petroleum demand is transportation."
- Jim Chanos – CBNC
The glut in oil continues to push the price of oil south to a seven-year low meaning energy exporters like Newfoundland that depend on oil as a source of income are continuing to be pounded.
International benchmark Brent crude fell by three per cent to a little above $37 a barrel. The provincial government pegged oil prices at $62 a barrel for the 2015-16 fiscal year. Keep in mind that even at that rate, the former Davis Government estimated expenditures would outpace revenues by $1.2 Billion. The deficit is now anticipated to be in the range of $1.8 to 2.1 Billion.
The good news, Reuters says that prices could recover to between $50 and $80 in 2016 by the end of 2016. It cannot come fast enough to get our province into the red.
However, hedge fund manager Jim Chanos is telling oil producers to pump now because oil might not be worth a lot in a decade with the advent of the electric car and the rise of solar energy.
The province's new Minister of Finance is set to release a mid-year financial update early next week. It will be interesting to learn how the government will deal with the escalating deficit, the overall debt situation and it's plan to balance the books.
I cannot help but wonder where the stronger tomorrow is without a radical departure from our staples oil fueled economy and a potentially doomed oil industry.
On the other hand, if Chanos is right, The Lower Churchill might actually have a market to sell to in the long run.

Well Sampling Program
According to the CDC Approximately 14-15 million households in the United States rely on private wells for drinking water. More than 90,000 new wells are drilled throughout the United States each year. Contamination of a private well is not only the concern of the household served by the well, but also the households using other nearby water supplies and the aquifer that the water is drawn from. If you have a private well, it is important to know when to test and how to maintain your well properly to ensure your family's health. The CDC has produced a list of Frequently Asked Questions regarding wells that may help you further understand how to properly service your well.
Clayton County Environmental Health does not regulate private wells in the County, but we do provide a well sampling service that tests for total coliforms and disease causing fecal coliform bacteria. Our office also provides recommendations on how to properly maintain well water quality.

Learning Technology Support - Bulk user management to create, enroll, update and un-enroll users
Perform enrollments, un-enrollments, updates and creations of students using the Bulk User Management tool. This article is designed for use by Enrollment Manager accounts.
Who can do this?
UWM D2L support staff that have Administrator-Support, AdminLTCAssistant, Administrator or Security Administrator roles can use the Bulk User Management tool.
In addition, authorized individuals from other areas with Enrollment Manager roles can carry out these steps. Approval and access to perform these steps must be granted by a UWM D2L Site Administrator.
About this process (What on earth am I doing?)
As a user with the responsibility to create users for your area, you must collect a list of users that need access to D2L. Determine if they have UWM ePantherIDs. Using an Excel spreadsheet as a CSV, create accounts for them in D2L and give them an overall D2L role of Student or Guest. Lastly, you will use an Excel file as a CSV to enroll the newly created users in a course.
You can optionally use this process to update user information or un-enroll users from a course. Un-enrolling users is not recommended.
Before you begin
- Only one D2L account can use this process at a time. Furthermore, if a user session is left incomplete, others using the tool will see the incomplete run. Avoid this by following all steps. Always click the Done button.
- Individual line of a CSV file are referred to as lines in D2L, but are called records in this document.
- The files used in this process are different from those used in the Classlist to bulk enroll users. Do not attempt to mix the files. At best, it will not work, and at worst, serious issues can arise.
Part 1: Crafting bulk user management files
Usernames and roles
Most files require a username and a role to be provided. A role is a term used to define a person's abilities in D2L, or a course. A username is the unique name of the account in D2L.
- Does an account already exist? If the person was beyond a shadow of a doubt previously a UWM student or employee, use that account and do not create an account. However, if in-doubt, create a new account. (It is better for someone to have two accounts, than for two people to have one account.)
- Is the account for a person with a UWM ePantherID? The username should be the ePantherID. The role should be Student.
- Is the account for a person that does not have an ePantherID? The username should be <firstname>.<lastname>. The role should be Guest.
- School of Continuing Education: add ".sce" to the end of the username.
- Lubar School of Business: add "_lsb" to the end of the username.
Org Unit Code?
Each course in D2L (as well as other constructs not commonly used) have an Org Unit Code. Find the Org Unit Code of a course by looking at My Courses. Next to, or below the name of a course is the Org Unit Code. Examples: UWMIL_1_ENGLISH_100_SEC001_12345 is a code that might be used for an ENGLISH 100 course site, and sce_2179_coursneame is a code that might be used for a Continuing Education course.
The Org Unit Code of a course must be used when Enrolling or Unenrolling from a course.
Formatting Bulk User Management files
Create a spreadsheet using Microsoft Excel with the following columns headings as needed. Create one file for creating users. Use a different file for enrolling users.
- Create users that do not yet have accounts in D2L - if the user already exists, no action will take place:
The word "CREATE", Username, First Name, Last Name, Email, Role
- Update a user's name or email address - if the user doesn't exist, an error will be shown:
The word "UPDATE", Username, First Name, Last Name, Email
- Enroll a user into a course:
The world "ENROLL", Username, Org Unit Code, Role
- Un-enroll a user - avoid doing this in-favor of leaving the course as-is for record-keeping purposes:
The word "UNENROLL", Username, Org Unit Code
UW Flexible Option Administrators
Part 2: Login to UWM's D2L site
- Go to the D2L login website (http://d2l.uwm.edu) and login using the black Non-ePantherID button.
- Enter your D2L username and password.
- Users with Enrollment Manager roles have usernames in the format <firstname>.<lastname>.enrollmentmgr.
- If you are unable to login, contact UWM's Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning to request a password reset. Be sure to specify your username, your institution, and your program affiliation.
Part 3: Processing bulk user management files
These steps will need to be performed for each CSV file to process.
UW Flexible Option: if files are skipped, it is okay to start with the newest available file. There is no need to process previous files.
- From the D2L My Home (My Courses) page, click the Settings gear icon in the upper right corner of the page.
- Click the Users link under the User Related heading.
- Click the Bulk User Management link at the top of the page, below the yellow navigation bar.
- A Browse or Choose File button is presented, depending on the browser. Click the button to choose the file to process.
- Working with multiple files? This form is designed to process one file at a time.
- Process files in this order: CREATE, UPDATE, ENROLL, UNENROLL.
- Warning messages in blue can usually be ignored. Common warnings include students already existing in D2L, or course codes that technically match more than one possible "org unit". These warnings can be safely ignored.
- Error messages in red should be closely scrutinized.
- If an update is being made for a student that is not yet created, but the student will be created by an earlier record in the CSV, the error can be ignored.
- Report all other error messages to the UWM Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning for review. Guidance will be provided on how to deal with the error.
- If a row is invalid, or should otherwise be ignored, click the checkbox to the left of the record. D2L will not process the record.
- UW Flexible Option: ensure all Email Notification Option checkboxes are unchecked. Making a mistake at this step will result in students receiving an email with incorrect information that can cause access problems for students. If that should happen, reach out to the student immediately to attempt to resolve the misunderstanding.
- All others: If your department's practices allow, check "Send a creation email to new users created using the CREATE or IMPORT command" to send a password reset link on creation. It is advised to not do this unless users will be given access to the appropriate course immediately.

And the reason is Camille
She's a French singer, who you're probably unaware that you're aware of through her work with Nouvelle Vague. That band's easy-listening covers of Guns of Brixton, Teenage Kicks and Too Drunk To Fuck have soundtracked countless adverts, promos and news packages over the last year (okay, with the possible exception of the last one).
Anyway, it turns out Camille is an artist in her own right with an album called Le Fil coming out in the UK next week. But why wait when you can import it now from Amazon.fr and be ahead of all your friends by, ooooh, days.
It's a hard album to describe. It's mostly a capella, but it's nothing like G4 or Bobby McFerrin. I'd say she sounds like Bjork, but that might put off anyone who doesn't like listening to musical hiccups.
Perhaps the best thing to do would be to put up a video of her performing live. Recorded from French television, this clip totally shows up all those American Divas who breathily exclaim 'my voice is a precious instrument'. Camille really uses her voice as an instrument - and in doing so she's playful, inventive and (best of all) melodic. It's ace.

Maurice Tomlinson will host a Q&A/film screening of The Abominable Crime, which will begin at 8pm in Frick Fine Arts Auditorium. The film explores the culture of homophobia in Jamaica through the eyes of gay Jamaicans who are forced to choose between their homeland and their lives after their sexual orientations are exposed. Discussion after the film.

As senior policy analyst at the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network Mr. Tomlinson is leading work to challenge homophobia and HIV in the Caribbean. He is both claimant and counsel in several cases seeking to strike down colonial-era anti-sodomy laws and practices across the region. For many of these cases they rely on Canadian and American jurisprudence and pro-bono legal support as several Anglophone Caribbean jurisdictions have adopted North American constitutional law and other legal principles. These cases are being heard by the most senior tribunals in the region, including the Caribbean Court of Justice and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. In addition to the cases, the Legal Network is also pursuing several initiatives to try and change hearts and minds across the Caribbean. These include police LGBTI sensitivity training, documentation and capacity building exercises with local groups, working with progressive faith leaders to amplify their voices, and supporting and championing innovative visibility campaigns such as Prides.
Mr. Tomlinson will give a talk at 4pm about his activism titled "A case for tolerance: Challenges to anti-gay laws in the Caribbean." He will also host a Q&A/film screening of The Abominable Crime, which will begin at 8pm in Frick Fine Arts Auditorium. The film explores the culture of homophobia in Jamaica through the eyes of gay Jamaicans who are forced to choose between their homeland and their lives after their sexual orientations are exposed.

Abstract of Lecture:
The colloquium will center on Prof. Cahill's published article, available on the GSWS Portal or from firstname.lastname@example.com.
In this article I will revisit the question of what I term the continuum of heteronormativesexual interactions, that is, the idea that purportedly ethically acceptable heterosexual interactionsare conceptually, ethically, and politically associated with instances of sexual violence.Spurred by recent work by psychologist Nicola Gavey (2005), I conclude that some of myearlier critiques of Catharine MacKinnon's theoretical linkages between sexual violence andnormative heterosex are wanting. In addition, neither MacKinnon's theory nor my critiqueof it seem up to the task of providing an ethical account of the examples of "unjust sex" thatGavey has described. I come to the conclusion that an ethical analysis of sexual interactionsrequires a focus on sexual desire, but that desire cannot take on the by now heavily criticizedrole of consent. Rather than looking for the presence or absence of sexual desire prior to sexualencounters as a kind of ethical certification of them, we ought instead to focus on theefficacy of that sexual desire, that is, its ability (or lack thereof) to shape an encounter insubstantial and meaningful ways.

This talk will address a persistent philosophical conundrum that Dr. Ann J. Cahill, professor of philosophy at Elon University, calls the problem of the "heteronormative sexual continuum": how sexual assault and hegemonic heterosex are conceptually and politically related. Dr. Cahill will respond to the work of Nicola Gavey, who has argued for the existence of a "gray area" of sexual interactions that are ethically questionable without rising to the category of sexual assault, but whose analysis did not explicitly articulate what these two categories share or what distinguishes them from each other. Dr. Cahill will argue that the two categories share a disregard for women's sexual subjectivity (focusing particularly on the factor of sexual desire) and are distinguished by the different role that women's sexual agency plays in each.

The roll-out of fibre based broadband on the Outer Hebrides is reaching out further to Harris, Scalpay and N Uist over the next six months.
The Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband (DSSB) project is progressing ahead of schedule with parts of Back and Barvas already able to order the new high speed services.
Additional connections will start coming through for some in Point and Shawbost within weeks.
Work will continue in these areas and the partnership project being led for the region by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) is reaching out further between now and the Spring to places including Ness, Callanish, Leverburgh, Lochmaddy and Scalpay. (See full list below)
This stage will draw in a further 2,000 homes and businesses to the new network. Many will see connections available by the Spring.
Stuart Robertson, Director of Digital at HIE, said: "People have been quick to embrace the arrival of fibre based broadband in the Stornoway area. It's great that we are pushing ahead of schedule to reach other areas of the islands."
Fibre broadband enables multiple users in a home or business to access the internet, download and share large files at the same time at download speeds of up to 80 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 20 Mbps.
As the higher speeds become available, anyone interested in signing up for fibre-based services should contact their broadband service provider.
The coverage forms part of a three year £146m investment, funded by the Scottish Government, the UK Government, HIE and private sector partner BT, with engineers from BT's local network business Openreach delivering the project on the ground.
Brendan Dick, BT Scotland director, said: "The Digital Scotland rollout has now passed more than half the homes and business premises currently included in our plans for the Highlands and Islands and it's fantastic that our engineers are now reaching into some very small, rural communities, which have so much to gain.
"We'll continue to work hard to maintain the great progress to date and bring fast fibre to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.
"BT is determined to make sure that Scotland remains at the forefront of the high-speed digital revolution. We're proud to be working hand in hand with our partners to deliver a truly Digital Scotland. Everyone can keep up to speed with the latest developments at www.hie.co.uk/digital."

I'm not promising that all the recipes are perfect, but I've only included ones that work for me. Oh, and because of a recent comment, I should add that where recipes are by others, I have credited them, usually with a link so you can see more of what they cook. Where I wasn't following someone else's recipe there is no credit.

Coconut Water Reviews – Vita Coco – 5/5
Vita Coco tastes so close to the fresh coconut water, I can't tell the difference. It has the consistency of fresh coconut water. It's delicious. Out of all the flavored coconut waters my husband has tried, he drinks the most of the tangerine Vita Coco. He says the pineapple is ok, but I only ever remember seeing him drink it once or twice.
Coconut Water Review – O.N.E. – 4/5
O.N.E. Coconut Water is also delicious. The same great refreshing taste of coconut water, until the end. It has this aftertaste. Albeit not unpleasant, just more of an aftertaste than Vita Coco. I looked at the box and found that it was pasteurized. It didn't explain the process and the other brands didn't mention it, so I assumed this was the reason for the aftertaste. If my husband decides to drink pineapple coconut water it is usually from O.N.E. Evidently its sweet, but not too sweet.
Coconut Water Reviews – Harvest Bay – 4/5
Harvest Bay Coconut Water doesn't have the flavors that Vita Coco and O.N.E. do. It's less rich, and although in the beginning I found this a little disappointing, it was exactly what I wanted when I was parched. I'm hesitant to say it taste like its been watered down, because although it does, this is the only coconut water my husband will drink without a flavor. I think that says a lot.
Coconut Water Reviews – Zico – 3/5
I didn't understand why sometimes Zico was amazing and others it left a lot to be desired until I did some research. Never buy the 14 oz bottles. Never. Coconut water from concentrate does not taste fresh. Added artificial flavoring does not taste like coconut water. I hope this saves you the disappointment I had. Google around and you'll find out that Coca Cola bought them and since they've made some poor decisions. But, the 11 oz carton is heavenly. If hubby wants to drink mango coconut water, he chooses the Zico brand. It's supposed to be sweet and refreshing and hides the "feet" taste well. How did I end up with him again?

Cover Story
I was recently asked how much control authors have over the covers and back-blurbs of their books. I suspect the answer is 'very little'. And this is probably a good thing. There is an enormous amount of pressure to get that cover exactly right. It's got to function as an advertisement, a logo, an introduction, a sample of the book's personality – all this without giving too much away or emphasising the wrong element. It's the cover's job to get that book out of the store and home with the right reader. Any time you see a novel for sale, you can be sure that someone has worked very hard to make sure that you really do judge it by its cover.
What if I had to design a cover for my own book?
My head would explode.
