Cocktail for BBQ suggestions?
- p
- phillychower Jun 22, 2011 07:32 PM
Any suggestions for a BBQ cocktail? been enjoying some of the threads here, tempted to try the recent Mai Tai recipe posted but I'm a cocktail newb so it's a little intimidating.
I love fresh margaritas but don't think I can keep up squeezing limes while entertaining.
Maybe Paloma or Hemingway (havent been able to find Luxardo so far though)
Thanks for any suggestions !
Never thought of anything hard other than beer with BBQ. I'll be interested if anybody comes up with something that's traditional in some circles (as opposed to the random "how abut a grasshopper? " or "Have you thought of appletinis?")
I see a conflict -- I think a sour would go well with BBQ because the acid will cut through the grease and stand up to the strong flavors. Yes these sours require fresh citrus -- either lemon or lime. And they are very refreshing on a hot summer day.
I'm not sure how many people you are talking about, but a Caipirinha (more or less a Daiquiri made with Cachaca, the rum-like spirit from Brazil) or a Mojito (more or less a Daiquiri made with mint and soda water) could be made ahead of time and kept cold in a bottle or pitcher. You may need to add water to simulate the melted ice and/or you would want to add the soda at the last minute. They won't be as good if made hours a head of time because of the oxidation of the lime, but they will still be very good. With a good pliers-type squeezer, you can squeeze a lot of citrus in a reasonable amount of time.
You could do the same with a Margarita, which is a Tequila sour with the addition of orange liqueur.
I would probably stay away for Maraschino liqueur unless you know your guests are adventurous. It is an acquired taste.

re: EvergreenDan
Yesterday, we had watermelon mojitos with the appetizers (homemade andouille with thinly sliced bread grilled on the BBQ, oysters on the half-shell), while doing lamb chops, tri-tip, and tripe on the grill . . . along with wheat/summer beers from Anchor, Sierra Nevada, and Widmer; Domaine de la Pépière Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur lie , Robert Sinsky Pinot Gris, and 3-4 different bottlings of sake (Dewazakura "Dewasansan" Green Ridge, Kokuryu "Junmai Ginjo" Black Dragon, and a couple of others).
Why not make up a pitcher of margaritas if that is what you like? Squeeze all the limes ahead of time.
We always do a big glass jar of sangria. Good stuff for BBQ's that. :)
re: phillychower
Microwave your limes for 15 seconds before you squeeze 'em.
BBQ restaurant Fatty 'Cue in Brooklyn has a signature drink called The Cue (I believe) that is very good. If I recall, they muddle smoked pineapple, add lime juice, white overproof rum, simple syrup and serve in a DOF glass rinsed with absinthe and a dash of Tobasco. Very deep and intriguing flavor profile. Very likely a difficult drink to pull off--especially with the smoked pineapple--but it was quite delicious.
I agree with what people said that a drink including citrus is probably the way to go. Almost any drink can be pre-batched if you add water equal to about a third of the volume of the other ingredients. Or you can always leave it concentrated and then shake to order.
Tall drinks are also good, especially for guests who are used to higher volume drinks and will guzzle your pitcher of margaritas. Tom Collins, Dark and Stormys, or Gin Rickeys might go pretty well with BBQ. Those are all also simple recipes. You could also go with a punch of some kind.
re: nickls
A dark and stormy is perfect with barbecue - the ginger beer offsets its strong flavors very well.
re: Caitlin McGrath
IMO, Presbyterians: 2 oz of blended scotch topped off with a good ginger ale, and Americanos tend to go well with grilled and bbq'd food.
Simple, strong flavored, and cold.
Can't go wrong with either Mint Julep's (very easy to batch up) or a Pimms Cup (make pitchers of this in advance). Sangria is another easy one to batch up in advance.
re: barleywino
Man, I love JW Lees Harvest Ale, but I'd have a hard time drinking it in the middle of the summer at a 4th of July BBQ. It hit 95F here yesterday, and I think I'd just feel like a slug after consuming one. Will save mine for the fireplace next winter. That and buying it in quantity (I guess just assumed from the OP) would be prohibitive.
I usually like a hoppy beer like an IPA to balance against the smoky/spicy flavors of BBQ. I quit reading at least one food magazine years ago when they kept making lousy beer recommendations (light lagers for everything).
That said, I checked out a beer store in town that I hadn't been to the other day. I picked up a couple of growlers to take to friends' party today. Mostly to fill gaps in what our host bought, I got one of an English cider and the other of Monk's Cafe Flemish Brown. I was shooting for light and refreshing, without being boring.
re: barleywino
Something I tried, after having a Harviestoun Ola Dubh 12 - I mixed a little Islay Scotch into a Scottish Ale, I believe it was Tasgall and McClellands, maybe 12:1 ratio. I guess you would call it a boilermaker variant. I rather liked it, and just picked up a 6 pack of Old Chub to experiment a little more, might try something better than McClellands this time.
I have had the Calvados cask JW Lees and have a bottle of the Lagavulin I haven't opened yet. Pricey stuff at ~$10 a 12 oz bottle.
A friend of mine recently had the Old Stock Bourbon barrel aged and said it was outstanding.
re: ncyankee101
i like to start with the Lagavullin JW Lees and then have the Calvados JW Lees for dessert ;)...try the Calvados on cask sometime if you get a chance
Thanks everyone. Went with pour yourself silver tequila with lemonade. Not fancy but so easy. looking forward to trying some of these ideas myself this summer.

Injured Finn ruled out of opening test against India
AHMEDABAD (Reuters) - England paceman Steven Finn has failed to recover from a thigh injury and will miss the first test against India, his captain Alastair Cook said on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old limped off the field with a right thigh strain in England's first warm-up match at the end of October and is not fit enough to be considered for the opener of the four-match series starting in Ahmedabad on Thursday.
"Steven won't be available for tomorrow's test match. He has made some fantastic progress with the injury, has come home better than we thought, but unfortunately he is not going to make it," Cook told reporters.
"It's too big a risk to go into a game in any test match, especially in these conditions, with a guy who is not 100 percent and hasn't bowled."
The Middlesex paceman is considered key to England's chances of enjoying a successful tour after impressing during a limited-overs series in India last year.
Vice-captain Stuart Broad, who suffered a bruised left heel during the second practice game, should be available for selection after bowling at full pace on Tuesday.
Cook, who turns 28 next month, will lead England for the first time in tests on Thursday and he felt the tourists have had plenty of time to prepare for Indian conditions.
"Looking at this tour, we have said that we wanted to have as much practice as we could to get used to the conditions," said the left-handed opener, who took over as skipper following Andrew Strauss' retirement after the South Africa series.
"For the first time since I've been (coming) to the sub-continent, we've had three warm-up games.
"It's given us a chance not just to play the XI that we think is going to play in the first game, but it has given everyone a chance to get used to conditions. On that front, we have been really well prepared.
"Clearly we'd have liked to face more quality spinners in the middle but we can't control that. What we have had available, we've had some excellent bowlers bowling at us in the nets."
Flamboyant batsman Kevin Pietersen, who was dropped for the third and final test against South Africa at Lord's in August over a text message row, will make his return in English whites on Thursday.
Cook said the outspoken South Africa-born batsman's re-integration in the team was "finished" and they have moved on from the row.
"As a captain, it's great to have a world-class batsman like him. He is a guy who can change the game very quickly... win matches for us in sessions and not many people in the world can do that," Cook added.
"The process or whatever you call it, in my eyes is finished. We are moving on and it is great to have Kev back and the whole side has adapted to the situation what's happened over the last few months.
"We had to draw a line under it and we've moved on."
Cook added that he would not want Pietersen, England's highest-ranked test batsman, to compromise his style on this tour.
"What I don't want to change is his confidence and the swagger he has when he bats because that's what makes him such a great player. As a captain, that's what you want," he added after a brief pause. (Editing by John O'Brien)

Even with Paul Heyman by his side, CM Punk was unable to capture the WWE Heavyweight Championship from the Rock at Elimination Chamber 2013. Several referee bumps took place, but Rock was able to get the pin fall victory after nailing the Rock Bottom on Punk.
February 17, 2013
In the main event of No Way Out 2003, the Rock was able to defeat Hulk Hogan in a singles match.
February 23, 2003
After conquering the world of professional wrestling and Hollywood, the Rock has earned himself the right to live his life as he pleases. One of the things that the former WWE champion always wanted to try was stand up comedy. He pleasantly surprised some people at the Hollywood Improv this week when he showed up unannounced and did a quick routine. No word yet on whether or not the Rock plans to keep doing shows.
November 18, 2014
While fans are clinging on to hope that the Rock does another stint with WWE, the former world heavyweight champion keeps piling on more and more to his Hollywood plate. It has now been announced that Rock and the massively popular Kevin Hart will be teaming up for a movie called Central Intelligence. Rock will portray a former bullied classmate who is now a hit man for the government, while Hart is the former star athlete turned accountant that will be recruited to help on a case.
November 11, 2014
While he has long maintained that he has no desires to leave WWE for Hollywood, John Cena is publicly expressing interest in expanding his horizons. The former heavyweight champion wants to show the audience that he can do comedic roles. The belief is that he might have been influenced by the massive success of the Rock and Batista over the last couple of years.
October 22, 2014
As many of you already know, the Rock is in Japan to promote the Hercules movie that he stars in. While there, he decided to have dinner with a very famous individual. The former WWE star dined with Mark Zuckerberg, the genius behind Facebook. Rock noted that he was quite grateful towards social media because it has enabled him to connect with fans in a very intimate way.
October 21, 2014
Earlier this month, the Great Muta promised to attack the Rock when the former WWE star visited Japan to promote his Hercules movie. Obviously, there was no real life friction, and Muta was simply stating that to help with promotion. The Japanese legend did show up at the event, teased tension with the Rock before shaking hands and posing for pictures together.
October 19, 2014
A lot of speculation has arisen ever since Rock made a surprise appearance on Monday Night Raw and worked a segment with Alexander Rusev and Lana. Many are under the impression that a match between the two could take place at Wrestlemania 31. However, WWE does not appear to be heading in that direction. Rusev is still penciled in for a high profile match against John Cena at the pay per view.
October 12, 2014
Some interesting stuff came out of a recent interview that Mark Henry did with Newsday. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that he met Rock in Canada while he was playing professional football. Henry was up there training with Bret Hart and his family. Henry recruited Rock into joining WWE with him. While they were in developmental, the two of them even shared an apartment.
October 11, 2014
WWE is very optimistic that they can sign the Rock to work a match at Wrestlemania 31. However, he remains noncommittal at the moment. When asked during interviews about a potential return to the wrestling ring, Rock usually brushes it off. He recently joked about not wanting to be punched in the mouth. The belief is that Hollywood executives are very much against Rock wrestling again.
October 11, 2014
Since he made an appearance on Monday Night Raw and worked a segment with Alexander Rusev, speculation has run wild that the Rock will be wrestling a match at Wrestlemania 31. As of right now, that seems highly unlikely, as the former world heavyweight championship has signed on for several movies over the next year. The studios are also said to be against the idea of him risking injuries in a wrestling ring again.
October 9, 2014
As most people, even those who do not watch on a weekly basis, already know, the Rock made a surprise return to Monday Night Raw this week. He verbally berated Lana and Alexander Rusev before engaging in a physical confrontation with the latter. Reports have surfaced that WWE officials instructed the Rock to only utilize punches, so that the Rusev character can be protected.
October 7, 2014
Rumors are heating up that the Rock might make an appearance tonight on Monday Night Raw. The speculations were fueled when it was discovered that the former world heavyweight champion was in New York City right now. WWE is holding their live event tonight in nearby Brooklyn. The belief is that he will not be showing up because management would have advertised the appearance ahead of time to increase ratings.
October 6, 2014
The movie roles keep coming in for the Rock. The former WWE star revealed through social media that he will be starring in the big screen version of Baywatch. Reports are saying that the movie will not be based directly on the characters on the television show and will involve a lot more comedy. Minor roles are being written for David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson, should they decide to accept the parts.
October 3, 2014
While the speculations had long been out there, the Rock has finally confirmed that he will be starring in The Janson Directive. The movie is based off of a novel by Robert Ludlim, who passed away in 2001 and will not get to see the big screen adaptation of his work. Rock revealed to WWE fans that he will be producing and writing the movie as well.
September 27, 2014
After struggling to choose which role he wanted to play, the Rock has now revealed that he will be portraying Black Adam on the big screen soon. The character is from Marvel. Black Adam is usually a villain, but he has sometimes been utilized as an antihero. Rock also had the option to play Captain Marvel, but he eventually opted to play the nemesis of the lead character instead.
September 3, 2014
During a recent interview with Alternative Nation, Hornswoggle was asked about his backstage heat with the Rock. The WWE star revealed some details about an incident that took place when the Rock was revealed as the special guest host of Wrestlemania 27. Hornswoggle stated that the Rock confused him for a Make a Wish kid. Rock apparently tapped him on the shoulders and asked if he had a good time at the show.
August 29, 2014
Reports are surfacing that there is some backstage heat between Vince McMahon and Triple H at the moment over the main event of Wrestlemania 31. McMahon wants Brock Lesnar to defend the title against the Rock, as he feels that those two guys would produce the biggest draw of a match for WWE. HHH, however, wants the company to elevate Roman Reigns by having him challenge Lesnar.
August 18, 2014
Since Hercules has been deemed a bit of a disappointment, there are talks that the Rock might miss out on some opportunities in Hollywood. Rumors have it that the WWE legend is not all that concerned. His popularity has not taken that big of a hit, and it should increase when the next Fast and Furious movie is released. Studios are still interested in the Rock as a leading man.
August 15, 2014
"My mom and my cousin, Savelina Fanene, were struck head on by a drunk driver this week. They lived. First reaction is to find the person who did this and do unrelenting harm to them, but then you realize the most important thing is my family lived through this, and we can hug each other that much tighter these days. Hug your own family tighter today and be grateful you can tell them you love them." - Rock talks about how a DUI almost killed his family
August 10, 2014
While the movie did not dominate in the United States as the studios had hoped, Hercules has done well overseas. Rock has now informed the fans that the movie has topped the box offices in India, Russia and Australia. The movie has generated almost the same amount from international viewers as it has domestic ones. There's still talks that the movie might barely break even for the studios, which would definitely not be a good sign for the Rock.
August 9, 2014
Some potentially bad news for the Rock. His new Hercules movie is struggling at the box office. During it's second weekend in the theaters, sales dropped by approximately 70 percent. There are talks that the movie might barely break even, minus the the huge cost of advertising. The budget for the film was around $100 million, so the Rock's drawing power might take a bit of a hit.
August 2, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
To calm down the Money in the Bank 2014 audience, WWE opted to go with another divas match as a filler. Layla El and Summer Rae battled in a match, where Fandango served as the special guest referee. Fans were so disinterested in the segment that a CM Punk chant broke out. In the end, Layla caught Summer with a kick to gain the pinfall. Layla and Fandango kissed after the match, while a despondent Summer looked on.
June 29, 2014
In a rematch at Money in the Bank 2014, Alexander Rusev was successfully able to conquer Big E Langston again with his submission move. It was the typical match that you would expect from the two. There was a botched spot where Langston speared Rusev to the outside of the ring. However, the two of them more than made up for that by doing a great closing sequence.
June 29, 2014
In a match that was slightly held in higher regards than a filler match, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, who worked under his Stardust gimmick again, defeated Curtis Axel, who was sporting a ridiculous looking singlet, and Ryback. The match was designed to highlight the Stardust character. Since there was a little bit of action after the match, there is a chance that WWE could be continuing this feud.
June 29, 2014
In a very exciting match, Seth Rollins outlasted Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger to capture the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. WWE wants to continue the war between Ambrose and the Authority, so they had Kane coming out and providing assistance to Rollins. Despite the heel tactic to win the match, the Rollins victory was actually cheered by a good amount of fans.
June 29, 2014
Since WWE needed a filler segment at Money in the Bank 2014 and wanted to showcase Adam Rose a little bit, he was given a quick match against Damien Sandow, who was dressed as Paul Revere. Match was not really all that noteworthy, and Rose got the win after hitting the Party Foul finishing move. This was a segment that belongs more on Monday Night Raw than a pay per view.
June 29, 2014
Naomi Knight was given a crack at the WWE Divas Championship at Money in the Bank 2014, but it was Paige that walked away as the reigning titleholder after a DDT and a pin. The match was designed to further the eventual split between Naomi and Cameron, who was at ringside and taking glee whenever her tag team partner was in peril against Paige.
June 29, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
In a rather surprising move, WWE had the Shield win convincingly against Evolution. Batista and Randy Orton were the first two performers to be eliminated from the main event match at Payback 2014, but both provided interference for Triple H after their eliminations. After taking a brutal beating, Roman Reigns picked up the win for his team. Many expected Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins to be eliminated during the match, but WWE opted to give them a dominant ending.
June 2, 2014
In a match designed to be the buffer between the two main event features at Payback 2014, Paige successfully defended the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox via submission. Afterwards, Alicia continued her story line of going crazy whenever things do not go well for her. The audience reacted more to the post match antics than the actual match.
June 2, 2014
In a segment filled with plenty of interference from Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Rowan and Erick Harper, John Cena was able to defeat Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing match at Payback 2014 after Cena put Wyatt through a big black box and covered him with an even heavier box. Rumors have it that WWE will be continuing this feud and something could trigger that on Monday Night Raw this week.
June 2, 2014
At Payback 2014, Wade Barrett successfully defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rob Van Dam after picking up the pin fall victory, thanks to the Bull Hammer. The performers placed some doubt in that finish when it appeared that Barrett had injured his arm while smashing into the corner post after RVD ducked away from the move outside the ring.
June 1, 2014
In a glorified squash match at Payback 2014, Alexander Rusev defeated Big E Langston via submission to continue his push up the ladder in WWE. He was able to slap on the camel clutch after delivering a big kick to Langston. Afterwards, he held the submission move on for a short period of time before Lana instructs him to let go. Rusev should be placed into a new feud this week.
June 1, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Despite being in the airplane spin for quite a few rotations, Sheamus was able to capture the victory over Antonio Cesaro, who had Paul Heyman with him at ringside, at Payback 2014 by surprising his opponent with a small package. With the win, Sheamus retains the United States Heavyweight Championship and will more than likely be placed in another feud by WWE tomorrow.
June 1, 2014
In a match filled with quite a few over the top spots, Daniel Bryan successfully retained the WWE Championship by defeating Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. A running knee followed by a pin enabled Bryan to get the pin fall victory over Kane. Prior to that spot, Kane was put through a burning table and carried on a forklift, among other things.
May 4, 2014
Since WWE needed a Divas Championship match at Extreme Rules 2014, Paige was given the victory over Tamina Snuka after delivering her submission finisher. The segment was short and quick, providing only a couple of spots outside the ring. It basically served as a pay per view buffer between the steel cage match and the world title match.
May 4, 2014
After suffering a loss at the last pay per view, Bray Wyatt needed a victory over John Cena at Extreme Rules 2014, and he got just that. Wyatt received a heavy dose of interference from Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, but Cena still managed to overcome those odds. As Cena was walking out of the cage, a kid showed up and began singing, which provided enough distraction for Wyatt to hit his Sister Abigail finisher and walk out for the victory.
May 4, 2014
In the most anticipated match at Extreme Rules 2014, the Shield defeated Evolution. Roman Reigns picked up the pin fall victory over Batista after a Superman punch and a spear. Triple H, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose fought through the audience before Rollins took out all four of them by hurling himself from the elevated stands.
May 4, 2014
The first title change at Extreme Rules 2014 took place when Wade Barrett defeated Big E Langston to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Barrett picked up the pin fall victory after delivering a running Bull Hammer finisher on Langston. A highlight of the pay per view was Langston spearing Barrett from the ring to the floor.

Jon Drake & The Shakes in DeKalb, Woodstock Jan. 26, 27
Staff Report
Jon Drake & The Shakes will perform with special guests Chaperone and Dave Green beginning at 8 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 26, at Otto's Niteclub & Underground, 118 E. Lincoln Hwy., DeKalb, Ill. Cover is $7.
Equipped with 13 songs and a pittance of a recording budget, Jon Drake & The Shakes set out to record an album that would represent two years of hard work as a band. They started by trekking to a small cottage with no running water in Galena, Ill., in the middle of winter. There, they set out to record bass, drums, guitars and organ.
"We didn't want to make another smooth and uber-polished recording," Drake said. "There are enough of those. We set out to record something that sounds organic without sacrificing quality. The quality comes from the performances on the record."
The rest of the instruments, which include violin, cello, trumpet, trombone and all eight voices, were recorded in a small studio in Chicago's South Loop over the next several months. The result is Dear Ulysses, an 11-song album whose songs speak for themselves. Check out the lead single, "Charlie," here: http://jondrakeandtheshakes.bandcamp.com/track/charlie.
In addition to the DeKalb show, Jon Drake & The Shakes will be performing in Woodstock, Ill., the following night, Friday, Jan. 27, at DC Cobb's, 226 Main St. The band will be joined by special guest Ellis Seiberling. The Woodstock show will start at 10 p.m. and has a $5 cover.
Visit http://ottosdekalb.com/ for more about Otto's and http://www.dccobbs.net/ for more about DC Cobb's.

text: Lifetime Television, the cable network in New York with programming aimed at women, has moved its estimated $7 million account in-house after only six months at Lois/ USA in New York. Meredith Wagner, a spokeswoman for Lifetime, confirmed a report of the shift this week in Adweek. After the network recently built up its creative services department, she said, "it makes a lot of strategic and business sense to bring the business in-house." Before Lois was awarded the account in March, Frankfurt Balkind Partners in New York had handled it for two years.

Let's face it, the world can be an ugly place. From flame wars on social media to heartbreaking stories on the nightly news, humanity's awfulness can occasionally be overwhelming. Every once in a while we like to take breaks from stories about poaching, habitat loss, and the effects of global warming to marvel at the incredible array of beauty that still exists on this planet we call home. And so it is that we present to you 26 Wonderfully Weird Animals (from A to Z)– many of which are endangered– that we believe make this world a more interesting place…
Africa is in serious trouble. And no, we're not just talking about ebola (although the outbreak certainly isn't helping matters), but poaching.
The Asian hunger for wild animal parts purported to work miracles ranging from increasing virility to curing cancer has driven poaching and profits from illegal trafficking to record-shattering levels. Africa is losing an average of 5 Lions per day, 5 Elephants per hour, and a Rhino (whose horn is currently valued at around $65,000 per kg) every 7 hours in South Africa alone. The devastating decline of these key species, which could eliminate the continent's entire wild population by 2050, threatens both the environment and the economy of myriad African nations.
Ecotourism is an enormous industry in east and south Africa, generating approximately $80 billion in annual revenue. Much of this money comes from wildlife safaris to search for "the Big 5″– Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Rhinos and Buffalo. If these species disappear, it will likely set off a chain reaction in which tourism revenue declines, poverty rises and poaching for bush meat increases… a vicious circle that spells bad news for wildlife and those who treasure it. With growing concerns of ebola fears hurting African tourism to places like Kenya and South Africa, the importance of addressing the poaching problem head-on becomes even more vital.
Award-winning filmmakers (and National Geographic Explorers-In-Residence) Dereck and Beverly Joubert are among Africa's most outspoken wildlife conservation advocates. Through their Big Cat Initiative, the Botswana-based couple took the front lines on the battle to protect Africa's beloved felines by raising awareness and implementing change to the dire situation facing Lions and Leopards. The project has since funded 60 projects in 23 countries.
Now, through their Great Plains Conservation and Great Plains Foundation arms, the Jouberts have launched Rhinos Without Borders, an attempt to save endangered Rhinos by translocating 100 of them from South Africa to Botswana in order to protect them from the tragic rise in poaching. To do this, they'll need to raise nearly $5 million, as the costs to capture, transport, quarantine and release these animals will average about $45,000 per Rhino.
Our company Green Travel Media will be partnering with the new Travelers Building Change non-profit and 50-100 travel bloggers to help raise funds for Rhinos Without Borders, with the goal of raising enough money to save #JustOneRhino. We recently spoke to Dereck Joubert at great length about his ambitious undertaking, discussing why it's crucial to focus on Rhinos now, why Botswana is safer from poachers than South Africa, and controversial Rhino conservation methods ranging from poisoning their horns to cutting them off entirely.
SPECIES: North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis)
CURRENT RANGE: Along the east coast of North America, from Canada down to Georgia and Florida
CURRENT THREATS: Ship strikes, entanglement in commercial fishing lines
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered
WHERE CAN YOU SEE THEM: With just 400-450 left, chances of spotting them are slim, but your best bet is off the Georgia/Florida coast in winter.

In The Land Below the Wind, Agness Keith wrote of the Bornean orangutans that used to visit her garden in order to eat fruit from the trees. The book was written in the 1930s, when the country was still covered in primary rainforest, thick and unexplored, providing habitat for a wealth of wildlife. It was said that orangutans could cross the whole of Borneo, swinging from one tree branch to another, without ever touching the ground.
Orangutans are one of four species of great apes, and found only in Borneo and Sumatra. Their affinity with humans was first recognized by the native people of Borneo, the Dayaks, who named them after the Malay-Indonesian words for man of the forest. Dayaks believed orangutans could talk, but chose not to in order to prevent being enslaved and put to work.
I realize this may sound like exaggerated hyperbole. But, until you've come face-to-face with an animal more than twice your height and 75 times your weight, it's hard to fathom how the experience can alter your perception of humanity's place in the Universe.
For me, it happened during the first game drive on the first day of my safari in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
He was a massive bull elephant, feeding on a tree about 75 yards from our open-air safari vehicle in Londolozi Game Reserve. As he noticed us, he slowly turned and ambled our way with a sense of purpose. When he got within 50 yards, I began looking at our guide nervously. By the time he'd reached the 30 yard mark, we asked if perhaps it was time to move the Jeep and give him some space. Solomon assured us that it was fine, as the elephant came closer and closer and closer.

Speedy cash for the stranded traveller
Saturday 30 July 1994
TELEX transfer is the quickest way of sending funds abroad. The fastest, most direct provider of this service to Goa is the US bank Western Union. It guarantees that funds reach its agents abroad within 15 minutes.
Western Union's money transfer costs a premium rate of pounds 37 to remit pounds 500. The sender has to pay either cash or by banker's draft. There are 500 WU offices throughout the UK and 43 in India. The bank offers a freephone number on 0800 833833, which will give the nearest branch.
Most transfers convert money automatically into the local currency, rupees. But independent travellers often find greater flexibility and better exchange deals in the main currencies, such as dollars or pounds.
American Express offer a US dollar travellers' cheque option with its MoneyGram, costing dollars 70 ( pounds 45). The transfer time is only 10 to 20 minutes, but because Amex has only 14 offices in India, travellers would have to go about 150 miles to Bombay for the nearest outlet. Purchase can be made either in cash, or by cheque supported by an American Express card.
Thomas Cook has a 48-hour transfer service costing pounds 25, which can provide sterling as well as dollars. It has an office in Goa.
The big clearing banks offer a cheaper service at pounds 17 or pounds 18, but advertised transfer times are between two and five working days. Money can be sent directly from the customer's account. There is a certain amount of trusting to fate, as the UK bank has little control over the speed at which the local bank works. As a Midland Bank spokesman said: 'It's in the lap of the gods.' As the UK banks work through a network of corresponding banks for this type of transaction, they also cannot predict deductions made when the payee draws the money.
When making a transfer through a bank, make sure the payee gives you the name of a few local banks, so that your bank can ensure it selects an advising bank with which it has a correspondence relationship. Also, impress on your bank the urgency - it may be able to get you priority for the payment.

Mary, I feel so for your current situation and wish to offer hugs because you are hurting so and I feel a need to offer some physical acceptance of your pain.
But most of the wish to comfort is because you are trying.
I so remember when I was quite young, say, 10, I was given the gift of watching my nephew learn to walk. OH what fun! He so wanted to walk! Mark would take off from a supporting structure and laugh and toddle and fall down. Repeating the process of getting up laughing and toddling and falling down until he got it right. Each effort took him a little further. He became a little stronger after each effort. I can still hear the his laughs 50 years later and feel the love and support of the others in the room for him as he learned to walk and get up, with everyone laughing all the way.
We are with you and offer prayers and maybe laugh a little, for we have all been and we all continue to be in in some variant of that place today.
I snuck a look at your profile. You have a lot going for you. You have had some wonderful experiences. Your photographs show you are seeing and feeling the life you have been given. The images are very nice. What else can I say Mary but get up - laugh - learn and get going as best you can.
Great advice!

I have been working at HoneywellPros
For me, I chose this job due its department which caters customers worldwide. It gave me chance to work in various countries of the world at very young age.
Job gave me lot of opportunities which I got in early stage of my career.Cons
They are paying very less compared to competitors. The department I am working is project department and there are different type of projects within ACS are taken place. There is lack of skills for these different type of projects & management is not taking care to train people properly before getting these various projects.
Employees struggle to give time to their family life.Advice to ManagementAdvice
As an employer please distribute the work load within employees evenly. It seems the people who are working hard keep on getting more work & keep on struggling & people who are just sitting idle keep on doing the same & there is no major rewards for hard work.
Please take good measures to satisfy employees to get their work to life balance. Please keep them satisfied with descent pay packages.No opinion of CEO

From: chicago
love it the quality is great, beautiful scarf.
From: Spring Lake, MI
I had a Tibetan Lamb scarf which I have worn every winter for the last 5 years. On Christmas Eve my scarf blew off my neck and I didn't realize it until it was long gone. I sure missed it and so I went on line to look for another one. The scarf that I got from you is better quality and longer than the first one that I had and the price was better too! I just love it!
