Global Outcry Over Falling Forests, Failing Democracy on Australia's Island State of Tasmania
major recipients from products of its old-growth woodchips with US markets include Fuji-Xerox, Ricoh and Canon.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 06 — Outraged world citizens today protested at Australian embassies and consulates in America, Canada, Japan and the United Kingdom to decry the destruction of old-growth forests and the undermining of democracy in the country's island state of Tasmania by Forestry Tasmania and Gunns, Ltd., a rogue billion-dollar logging giant whose practices rank among the world's worst according to recent reports. The IUCN compares Gunns' operations to rampant illegal logging in the Third World.
Demonstrators delivered a letter signed by leading international sustainability groups to Prime Minister John Howard demanding that the government act in accordance with scientific recommendations to protect Tasmania's virgin forests from a well-documented arsenal of logging tactics deployed by Gunns and industry-controlled Forestry Tasmania. In the wake of massive clearcuts by Gunns, the industry routinely scorches the Earth with napalm firebombs to eradicate all remaining life.
Gunns has also killed hundreds of thousands of native mammals using carrots poisoned with Compound 1080, a lethal super-toxin listed as a biological weapon by both the Canadian and US governments. Gunns CEO John Gay has publicly stated that it is okay that his company kills endangered animals because "there's too many of them." Tasmania's forests are currently being clear-cut at an unprecedented rate equivalent to approximately 44 football fields per day. The vast majority of Tasmania's priceless ancient trees are being processed into woodchips by Gunns to make disposable paper products destined for landfills in America and Asia.
The worldwide call for action today echoed a dozen of Australia's leading scientists who signed a 2004 statement of support for the protection of Tasmania's forests calling for the "urgent need for Australian government intervention." The effort to protect Tasmania's forests is one of the largest environmental issues in Australian history, and according to a 2004 opinion poll by Newspoll, over 85 percent of Australian citizens favor full protection for Tasmania's pristine forests.
Carrying signs reading "Stop Gunns" and "Save Tassie's Trees," forest defenders around the world protested with "GUNNS" taped over the mouths(c) in solidarity with 20 silenced citizens in Australia who are currently being sued by Gunns for speaking out against the company's attacks on environmental treasures and public health. Likened to McDonald's "McLibel" lawsuit, Web sites like Gunns20.org and McGunns.com are evidence of a growing global grassroots movement to protect free speech, reassert democracy and save old-growth forests. The Gunns 20 lawsuit has also been condemned by leading human rights lawyers in the UK. For the Tasmania Forest Campaign, Rainforest Action Network and its allies today launched TreesNotGunns.org http://www.treesnotgunns.org/ to organize future worldwide action.
At the Australian High Commission in London today, British MP and Deputy Environmental Minister Norman Baker met with the Deputy High Commissioner to deliver the NGO letter and spoke about the atrocities he witnessed on his visit to Tasmania last month. Over 100 members of the British Parliament recently signed a motion condemning Gunns' actions and calling for an international boycott of woodchips and paper sourced from Tasmania's old-growth forests.
The global outcry comes just days before a March 9th hearing when lawyers will argue for the Gunns 20 case to be thrown out of court for a third time and two weeks before a March 18th Tasmanian election when an record Green vote may force the current government into a minority coalition or from office altogether.
According to the US National Cancer Institute, Tasmania — marketed to tourists as "The Island of Rejuvenation" — has some of the highest overall cancer incidence rates in the world. According to a report by the University of Tasmania and the Tasmania Department of Health and Human Services, the age-standardized incidence of all cancers combined — excluding non-melanocytic skin cancers — increased 37.6 percent in Tasmania during the 23-year period from 1978 to 2000. In a recent letter to the Tasmanian Times, local farmer Paul de Burgh-Day wrote, "I came to live in Tasmania with my family largely because I believed the 'Clean and Green' marketing image. We have been here long enough now to realize that this is, sadly, no more than illusion … I have no doubt that Tasmania and its people could thrive if it set about becoming what the slogan implies."
Spearheaded by San Francisco-based Rainforest Action Network, the worldwide day of protest expands one of the largest environmental protection campaigns in Australian history to global economic centers including Houston, London, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, Vancouver and Washington, D.C. The letter to Prime Minister Howard was signed by coalition of US and European-based groups including Forest Ethics (ForestEthics.org), Friends of the Earth International (FOE.org), Global Exchange (GlobalExchange.org), Global Response (GlobalResponse.org), International Forum on Globalization (IFG.org), Native Forest Network (NativeForest.org), Pacific Environment (PacificEnvironment.org), Rainforest Action Network (RAN.org), Ruckus Society (Ruckus.org) and the Sierra Club (SierraClub.org).
With annual revenue of over $700 million in 2005, Gunns is the largest logging company in Australia, where it holds a virtual monopoly in Tasmania. Gunns operations have resulted in convictions and fines for breaching the Forest Practices Code and causing major environmental damage to a Tasman Peninsula waterway. Out-of-control napalm burns started by Forestry Tasmania and Gunns have incinerated areas of national parks, World Heritage sites and private land, and are intense enough to create massive mushroom clouds typically associated only with atomic weapons. Under the legal protection of special exemptions from national and state laws granted by the government's Regional Forest Agreement, Gunns has routinely ordered the destruction of pristine areas identified for permanent protection by the United Nations World Heritage Bureau. Under current Tasmanian law, the company is not required to file environmental impact statements.
The revolving door between Gunns and the government includes former Tasmanian Premier Robin Gray who currently sits on the company's board of directors. Gunns collusion with Forestry Tasmania has essentially eliminated citizen oversight and has led to a breakdown of democracy in the state. Despite being Tasmania's largest landowner, less the 15 percent of the company's record profits stay in Australia's poorest state. Gunns largest customers are Japanese paper companies Nippon, Oji, and Daio and major recipients from products of its old-growth woodchips with US markets include Fuji-Xerox, Ricoh and Canon.
Compound 1080 (sodium monofluoroacetate), a super-toxin with no known antidote, was first developed by Nazi military chemists for biological warfare during World War II. The FBI and Air Force as well as the Canadian Security Intelligence Service have publicly listed Compound 1080 as a chemical agent terrorists could use to poison water supplies. A new CIA report includes photographic evidence that Compound 1080 was recently recovered by coalition forces in Iraq. Because of its danger to humans, Compound 1080 has been banned in Brazil since 1982. One teaspoon of the tasteless, odorless white power is enough to kill 100 people.
"Gunns does not act alone," said Ilyse Hogue, director of the Global Finance Campaign at Rainforest Action Network. "They are backed by investors and commercials banks both in their everyday operations and projects like the unpopular Bell Bay Pulp Mill proposal. As the trajectory of the global finance sector moves toward a sustainable and just economy, banks like ANZ that continue to fund rogue corporations like Gunns will find themselves forced to account for their decision to their customers."
"Gunns operations are more like chemical warfare than logging," said Brant Olson, director of the Old Growth Campaign at Rainforest Action Network.
"The world is witnessing a total breakdown of democracy in Tasmania resulting in the wholesale destruction of the island state's priceless primordial forests. Despite tens of thousands of Australians taking to the street in protest and polls showing that a vast majority favor full protection, the government still continues to support and subsidize Gunns wholesale conversion of Tasmania's life giving natural forests into deadly toxic tree farms."
"Everything about the situation on the ground in Tasmania defies belief for anyone who respects democracy and values the rule of law," said David Lee, a campaigner with the Tasmanian Forest Campaign at Rainforest Action Network.
"Tasmania's world-class trees like the giant Eucalyptus — the tallest hardwoods in the world — are up there with the Great Barrier Reef and the Galapagos Islands and worth far more to humanity as forests than woodchips. Gunns is trashing a global treasure in Tasmania to make disposable paper products and turning paradise into a toxic Hell on Earth in the process."

Before you begin shopping for a home (or a mortgage), it's vital to evaluate your personal financial situation, how much debt you carry, how much money you make, how much you spend, and how much you pay out in living and lifestyle expenses each month. To do a complete evaluation:
- Analyze your personal financial situation.
- Determine your maximum mortgage amount.
- Review your credit score.
- Gather and organize the information lenders will require.
Previously, we analyzed our finances but today, we will focus on the second part of a typical mortgage lender's evaluation:
Determine How Much You Can Afford
Unless you have a bad credit history or bankruptcy, most lenders prefer that borrowers have a mortgage with a monthly payment less than one-third of their monthly pre-tax income. So if your pretax income is $6,000, you'd likely get approved for a mortgage with a monthly payment of up to $2,000. Even that can be a financial stretch.
Should You Get the Biggest Mortgage You Can?
Flat out – NO! Approval does not equal affordable. On a personal note, I was approved for a mortgage that was 50 percent larger than the one I took out. By doing so, I made certain that my mortgage expenses weren't out of control and in the event I had a drastic change of income, I wouldn't necessarily lose my home.
To decide whether you can afford a particular sized mortgage, consider these factors:
- Your current financial situation
- Your future job prospects
- Your plans for children
- Your plans for aging parents
- Home maintenance and repair costs
These factors help you personally determine the amount of risk that you can tolerate and should help you decide, for example, whether you should consider a riskier mortgage, such as an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM), or stick with a safer, more predictable option, such as a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.
You alone should determine how much you can afford
Never rely on a lender to tell you how much of a mortgage you can afford. Always determined this information yourself. Keep in mind that real estate agents, brokers, home sellers, and possibly even the mortgage lender want you to take out the largest possible mortgage. After all, they're paid a percentage. When one of these pros tries to convince you how large your mortgage can or should be … I personally consider that a conflict of interest.
Instead, always assess your financial situation yourself (Part One of this series!) and arrive at an amount that you feel comfortable borrowing – the amount of debt AND payment that you would feel comfortable with.
Again: Never rely on a lender to tell you how large your mortgage "should" be.
Subtraction method
One way to determine the mortgage you can afford is to subtract your total monthly expenses (excluding your rental payment but including everything else) from your total monthly income. The difference should equal an amount that exceeds the monthly mortgage payment you expect to take on by at least several hundred dollars. For example, if you have $1,500 left over after paying all your monthly expenses, you should feel comfortable getting a mortgage with a monthly payment of $1,000–1,200 at the most.
200 times your rent rule
If you currently rent your home, this general guideline could also help you estimate what size mortgage you can afford, but it assumes you're already maxed out on your rent.
Multiply your rental payment by 200. This rule states that most home buyers can afford a mortgage worth 200 times their current rent payment. For example, if your current rent is $1,100 a month, you can likely afford a mortgage of 200 × $1,100, or $220,000.
How much mortgage can you afford?
Only you should determine that number, whether you "back into it" by calculating your payment at one-third your monthly pre-tax income, use the subtraction method, or the 200 times your rent rule. Always do your own assessment and never let a commissioned salesperson convince you to take on more debt or a bigger mortgage payment than you feel comfortable with.

ANNAPOLIS ROYAL - Annapolis County council was told last week that Upper Clements Parks is planning an expansion in which they are seeking a contribution from the municipality.
In a letter presented to the July session of the council, David Brown, president of the Upper Clements Parks Society, said that the society has, "a conditional commitment from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) to contribute up to $250,000 on a $500,000 project."
Councillor Gregory Heming, the council's representative on the board of directors for the society, said the group is seeking $50,000 from Annapolis County. The society is also asking the province for $150,000 and contributing $50,000 of their own money.
While the council appeared to be generally supportive of the request, after much discussion, it was concluded that they would need a formal application from the society that details exactly what will be undertaken and how the municipal funds will be utilized. The society's president is invited to make formal presentation to a special council meeting scheduled for Friday.
In an interview, new parks general manager Gino Thibeault said the society is looking at all options to make the park better. "There's nothing new this year but we're always improving what we have," he said. "We are looking at what we can do for expansion."
Thibeault said 2014 has been a pretty good year so far – "if you don't look at the hurricane."
Arthur knocked down 50 trees in the park, but only one hit a building and that was only a glancing blow that caused no damage. But the park was forced to stayed closed from Saturday until Wednesday because there was no electricity. Power came back on Tuesday afternoon but staff spent the next 36 hours inspecting every piece of equipment before the park was re-opened.
Details on the proposed expansion are still vague. The council was told in the letter that project includes, "major infrastructure enhancements and greater marketing." The goals, according to the president's letter, are to reduce the annual capital requirements and increase the visitation.
Thibeault said the goal is to make Upper Clements Parks, which employs 175 people, the destination for Atlantic Canada. He described it as the largest venue of its kind east of Montreal.
A presentation from the society has been added to the agenda for a special council meeting scheduled for July 25. The meeting was originally called to review the information collected from the public consultations on economic development in the municipality.

WASHINGTON — Several House Republicans from Louisiana dismissed claims they voted Tuesday to approve a "cut, cap, balance" debt and deficit bill that was more symbolic than practical.
Senate Republicans don't have the votes in that chamber to approve the plan, which would have cut and capped spending while calling for a constitutional balance budget amendment.
President Barack Obama said he would veto the bill if it reached his desk.
GOP congressmen from Louisiana said the vote was necessary to stake out their position on the national debt and federal budget deficit argument.
"The American people deserve at least some sense of, 'OK, if not this, then what?' " Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, said. "It might be a symbolic vote, but it's decent policy."
The measure would allow a $2.4 trillion debt ceiling increase in exchange for both chambers attaining the necessary two-thirds majorities to send a balanced budget constitutional amendment to 50 states.
Federal spending would be capped at 20 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product by 2021, including $1 trillion next year.
Democrats oppose the measure, claiming that it will constrict spending on necessary federal programs and affect entitlement spending on the big three — Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.
U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-New Orleans, joined his colleagues who painted the vote as political theater.
"This is just more posturing than we need," Richmond said. "So why don't we sit down like adults and figure out a way to both cut and find some revenue and get this country moving in the right direction?"
The state delegation voted for the measure along party lines, with the six Republicans approving of the bill and Richmond opposing.
U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, said the vote will give U.S. House leadership more leverage in negotiations with The White House over the debt and deficit.
"It's about being in a strong position to negotiate," Boustany said. "This isn't the final deal here."
U.S. Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-Quitman, said with a Republican House and Democratic Senate every bill passed by the House can be considered a symbolic vote.
Taking a stand on the issue was important, Alexander said.
"Those that feel like we need that to raise the debt ceiling just to protect the interest of the country and at the same time, offer steps to prevent it from happening again, then this is the time to vote," Alexander said.

blue tape
Written by: - Blu 5/14/20174 / 5 starsWorked well, color was close..Great...but
Written by: - Rod 12/28/20163 / 5 starsI bought this tape to put up temporary dust barriers in commercial buildings because of the claim of no residue...but the only opporturnity I have had to use it it did leave a good bit of residue which makes it unuseable in my application.
Tha tape is a heavy vinyl and will not tear easily so you will need to use sissors or a knife to cut it. It would make a great substitute for duct tape and a good patch for blue tarps.Very good product.

What does your drink of choice say about you?Posted on: September 3, 2013 11:11:00
Picture the scene, you are standing in a bar and checking out a sexy guy or girl at the other side of the room. You finally pluck up the courage to buy him or her a drink, but then their tipple of choice is not what you expected.
Would you consider yourself shallow for judging a potential new partner by their favourite beverage? Well according to new research, you are not alone.
A significant number of people believe they can tell a lot about a person's characteristics by their drink of choice, with many individuals considering some drinks more stylish than others.
According to the survey, which was carried out by Kopparberg cider, cocktails, cider and wine topped the list of cool beverages, while boring choices such as lager and beer were at the bottom of the rankings.
What's more, analysts revealed that your favourite tipple could actually impact how attractive members of the opposite sex find you, as an increasing number of singles believing their favourite drinks speaks volumes about their personality.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, trendy Londoners were the most likely to judge a person's appeal on their taste in tipples, with 52 per cent of respondents in the capital claiming that the beverage was a good sign of how compatible they were with a sexy stranger.
And it seems men are more likely to match their beverage to their outfit of choice, compared with just 47 per cent of women.
A spokesperson for Kopparberg said: "I think the major influence on what people drink is whether they like it or not, but it's interesting to see just how important it is to match your style of drink with your overall style.
"Since we launched Kopparberg in the UK, the brand has carried on the Swedish tradition for great design, as has our glassware, which is perhaps why we are seeing a lot of people characterising it as stylish and matching it with their look."

Fire Nation Colonies
|Physical Information
Scattered throughout world; Mainly Earth Kingdom
Unknown, Possible Puppet Capital; Fire Nation Capital
|Form of Government
Colony/Puppet Govt.
|Head of State
|Religious Authority
|First Appearance
The Fire Nation Colonies are a system of colonies governed by the Fire Nation. Most of them are located within the Earth Kingdom.
History Edit
Over 140 years prior to the present-day, the ambitious leader of the Fire Nation, Fire Lord Sozin, began to dream of a global empire comprised of the Four Nations. It was intended to be a prosperous unity that would "share" the wealth and prosperity that the Fire Nation was enjoying while under Sozin's rule. As time went on, Sozin's desire for control of the globe grew drastically, and his rule became increasingly dictatorial. Although he had been warned by his long-time friend, Avatar Roku, not to seek control of the globe, Sozin ignored this and launched the first invasion of the expansive Earth Kingdom.
In his conquest of the globe, Sozin and his peers decided to establish a permanent population of Fire Nation citizens across the other three nations, as he expected to establish permanent Fire Nation control over the planet. He invaded a number of Earth Kingdom villages and created puppet governments to oversee their development and economies. When Roku discovered this, he confronted Sozin and after defeating him in an Agni Kai, he warned him not to continue with his plans. It is unknown what became of the existing colonies after Roku's warning.
37 years later, and 12 years after Roku died, Sozin launched his invasion of the Four Nations, initiating the century-long War. After eradicating the Air Nomads through the use of Sozin's Comet, Sozin focused his energies on the Earth Kingdom, establishing new colonies across the continent as his forces encroached the country's numerous territories. These colonies grew into prosperous villages that supported the Fire Nation's war effort through the supplement of food and war supplies, and were rarely attacked by the besieged Earth Kingdom forces.
By the present-day, dozens of these colonies were established across the continent. It is unknown if any existed in the deserted Air Nomad territories, where the Air Nomads no longer reigned. Like most of the population back home, these Fire Nation citizens supported the war effort, and were fed with the various forms of propaganda needed to instill the desire to support frontline troops. They often took advantage of living in a prosperous land like the Earth Kingdom.
Avatar Aang and his friends visited one of these colonies in "The Deserter", on the day of one of the Fire Nation's various festivals. Unfortunately, as they explored the town, Aang accidentally revealed his identity, forcing the group to escape. They were assisted in their efforts by Chey, a Fire Nation rebel opposed to the War and a follower of Jeong Jeong, a firebending master who would give Aang his first lesson in firebending.
Eventually, the War ended when the Avatar and his allies liberated the Earth Kingdom capital of Ba Sing Se and overthrew Fire Lord Ozai. It is unknown what is to become of these colonies. They may be abandoned or remain as the only Fire Nation presence in the Earth Kingdom. However, given the fact that the Fire Nation ravaged so much of the kingdom during the War, it is likely that the Earth Kingdom will seek the removal or repossession of these colonies.
Culture Edit
The Fire Nation Colonies' cultures are very much like that of their home nation. They celebrate the various Fire festivals, support the war effort, are fed by propaganda, eat traditional Fire Nation foods, etc. However, these colonials are often looked upon with disdain in the Fire Nation mainland, as evidenced in "The Headband". This is probably because these citizens are Earth Kingdom-born, and therefore not considered true citizens. This in turn results in unruly treatment towards colonials in the homeland and fewer opportunities for a solid education.

Democritus and Aristotle Project
By: Kylee Garcia & Kayla
-scientist John Dalton refined Democritus' ideas and used them as the basis for his atomic theory.
-He is known to have written more than 70 books.
-Atoms were never created, according to Democritus, but have always existed, just as they are now.
-Democritus was probably born about 460 b.c. and died about 370 b.c. but they are not really sure since it was so long ago.
Aristotle: The Greek Philosopher
-Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and scientist, was born in Stagira, a town in Chalcidice.
- He went to Plato's philosophy school for twenty years until he died in 3.4.8 B.C.E
-Aristotle's wife, Pythia, died about ten years after they got married
-Aristotle was ten years old when his father died
-Aristotle died at the age of sixty two.
The Theory of The Atom:
Democritus did most of the devolving of his own theory of atoms. Aristotle came around and helped him. But in the end the theory was thought of before. "Atoms are eternal, and cannot be created or destroyed". His theory was declined because other philosophers and followers of Socrates and Plato because they didn't see how atoms had the ability to move by themselves. But another philosopher refined his ideas into his own, John Dalton.

How did a bunch of guys do when they were handed a medical model and asked to explain the female anatomy?
Holy Hormones Journal: I believe this is similar to the book that was floating around for awhile with the title "What Men Know About Women" and the hundreds of pages were blank. Sad commentary actually – since the vagina is such a sacred portal to our womb where procreation takes place. But then again, how much do women know about the penis and testicles? Perhaps if women and men were more respectful and aware of our body parts – we might treat each other differently and share the responsibility of birth control.
When was the last time you sat in on a class on sex ed? It was about the time we all went "Ewwww," right? What good did that do us? And then we ventured out into the world and our vaginas became targets of violence – and yes, love. But we ended up forgetting the little we learned when men and women use these sacred organs everyday. Things that make you go "hmm."

Nobody deserved the deference more. As the diminutive heroine just smiled that smile before collecting her second gold of the Games, and the fourth of a career which is already beginning to have the nascent feel of a legendary one at the age of just 17, the centre simply melted for her again.
For there is something about our Ellie that inspires real and rare national affection. Like Jessica Ennis, another little athlete possessing a massive heart, talent and humility to match, it feels like the country loves Simmonds the more they see of her.
You simply cannot resist someone who, when asked what it was like to be presented with her gong by David Cameron, just shrugs: "I've met him at his house, in No 10. It's great to meet him in my place! At the pool."
Too right. This is Ellie's place, Ellie's palace and Cameron was as privileged as any in the 17,500 roaring full house here to see her break her fourth world record – three now at these Games and the first one set here during the initial test event – en route to the SM6 200 metres individual medley title.
Yet whereas Saturday's S6 400m freestyle triumph was an affair of high emotion, as Simmonds prevailed over the brilliant rival she most badly wanted to defeat, the American Victoria Arlen, this felt like routine business.
The individual medley is her strongest event and the clock her only real opponent. No contest, then. Continuing where she left off on Saturday with her destruction of the 400m world record, in the morning's medley heats, Walsall's finest knocked 1.17sec off her own world mark, clocking 3min 06.97sec.
"Oh gosh!" she smiled.
There was a seeming inevitability that she would lower the mark again in the final but the medley is a strange race, offering such variations of ability in each stroke that it induces plenty of false alarm in the crowd.
Simmonds was fifth after the butterfly leg, had inched up to fourth after the backstroke and was still nearly five seconds adrift of Ukrainian pacesetter, Oksana Khrul, in second going into the final freestyle length. Khrul, though, was now in Ellie's territory and, yes, it was cruel to behold. Within half a length, Simmonds had powered past and with those short arms turning over that extraordinary staccato, threshing stroke at pace, she just forged further away from her pursuers, ending some 25m clear in the new record time of 3-05.39.
Behind her, Khrul folded to fourth but Natalie Jones, the 27 year-old from Chorley who has spent more time chasing Simmonds fruitlessly than anyone, kept plugging away for bronze, losing out to German Verena Schott by just one-hundredth of a second.
Ellie's smile was back, but this time there were no tears. Whereas Saturday had induced a breakdown in front of the cameras, it also relieved the sort of extraordinary pressure from Simmonds which Ennis admitted she had felt every time she saw a giant poster of herself on a passing bus before the Olympics.
Winning the heptathlon felt like blessed relief for her; well, that was Simmonds' first reaction on Saturday too when the girl whose 60ft face adorns the side of a building in the shopping centre neighbouring the Olympic Park celebrated "the best day of my life".
Simmonds conceded, as her mum Val and dad Steve had suggested, that it had all weighed down on her. "Yes, a bit – but I've had a great support group around me," she said. "So far I've dealt with the pressure and it's pushed me along, pushed me to show people what I'm made of. My parents and coach are great at keeping me on the ground and supporting me."
She could, though, hardly be unaware of how her achievements had begun to turn her into the biggest Paralympic star Britain has ever embraced.
What was it like to be seen as some unstoppable force now? "I'm just focusing on myself, trying to keep myself in a bubble from the outside world, just going to go out to every race and try my best. If they want to think I'm unstoppable let them think that, but I've got my own targets and my own aims, to go out there and do personal bests.
"I've been trying to focus. I haven't been on Twitter or Facebook or anything like that. Apparently 3.3 million people watched my race on Saturday, which is amazing. Amazing not just the support for me, but the support for getting the Paralympics out there. It's great people are watching the Games and hopefully there'll be people who get inspired by us."
How could any aspiring athlete not be inspired by this comprehensive schoolgirl, currently still studying for her A-levels in Swansea, who thinks her job at these Games is only half done? Her enthusiasm is utterly infectious.
"That atmosphere, it's just unbelievable. I'm on a high all the time. I don't want it to end at all."
Well, there is no sign of it ending yet. On Saturday night, mum Val had reported how Ellie was still bouncing off the walls, barely able to come down from the high of her 400m win. On Monday night, Simmonds vowed to get a good night's sleep before Tuesday's quest for gold number five in the S6 50m freestyle.
There, Arlen, the American at the centre of controversy over her classification, will await, just as she will in Saturday's 100m. It is a hell of an ask for her and if Ellie is to come away with four golds from these Games, then a 4ft 1in schoolkid may well prove yet to be quite the most towering figure of these Paralympics.

Classic Drinks
The classic Martini, you can make this with many different vodkas or gins. Absolut is an entry level vodka for many people. Clean and able to stand up to the olive and vermouth, start here and then again spread out to other brands till you find the perfect mix of spirits and olives. We've included many other Gins and Vodkas to help you find your perfect martini. The fun part is in the testing! Try some of the flavored ones as well.
Amaretto Sours are great for those before dinner drinks. Smooth, sweet/sour and light they are the perfect drink to get the party started and keep it going. While there are some Amaretto's out there we still always reach for Amaretto de Saronna. Sometimes the classics are classics for a reason.
Aviation was drink popular in the 1920's. The name stems from the dash of Crème de Violette which gave the drink it's pale blue color. A very classic gin drink it is very simple and period appropriate. It is a drink that you pull out to impress your fiends with your knowledge of classic mixology.
Bacardi Cocktails were originally a Daiquiri served straight up just Rum and lime juice. As the drink became Americanized it included grenadine which gives it a sweeter taste and red color.
The Bay Breeze is an off shoot of all the drinks out of the 20's and 30's that are part of the Cap Codder family which is Vodka and Cranberry. With the Bay Breeze, it is a little Cranberry, Grapefruit juice and generous portion of Vodka. Cool and refreshing it is usually served in the summer months. This drink gained popularity again during the 1960 and has remained popular even today.
Bee's Knees was slang in the 20's for something new and fresh, this drink was mostly likely named for that saying. We used Raw Organic Orange Blossom Honey to make the honey syrup. There are different raw honeys and they will carry with them the flower flavor so experiment if you're a honey lover.
Legend has it the Bellini was invented sometime between 1934 and 1948 by Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy. The beautiful color inspired Cipriani to name the drink Bellini after the robe of a saint in a painting by 15th-century Venetian artist Giovanni Bellini. Light, clean and very easy to drink this is the perfect cocktail for brunch, early evening parties, light social events and for light drinkers.
Black Russians first appeared in 1949, and is ascribed to Gustave Tops, a Belgian bartender, who created it at the Hotel Metropole located in Brussels in honor of Perle Mesta, the US ambassador to Luxembourg. The cocktail name stems from the use of vodka, a stereotypical Russian drink and the blackness of the coffee liqueur. The drink remains popular even today with its strong taste and great kick.
The Bloody Marie, tequila, and Bloody Mary, vodka, both are well served by using the best mixers possible, while there are many great bottled mixes out there the best ones are home made with fresh ingredients. Recipes abound and based on taste can range from very spicy to very smooth and classic. Great for brunch or Sunday morning get togethers, they are also seen as a classic hang over drink to take the Saturday night edge off!

Blue Hawaiian gets its name from the beautiful blue of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii. Created by Harry Yee at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in 1957 when a sales rep asked him to make a drink using Blue Curaçao liqueur. Curacao is an orange based liqueur that is often colored blue or orange and used extensively in tropical themed drinks. It does have a tie to the Elvis movie "Blue Hawaii" but it is fairly loose in nature. This drink, and like many like it, were an off shoot of the 60's love of all things Hawaiian and tiki. Having sat at the pool bar at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and looked out over Waikiki Beach, I can see where they got the name.
There have been whole blogs books and articles written on the Martini and if it should be shaken or stirred. Stirring is recommended for all drinks that do not contain fruit juice as it keeps the ice pieces created when shaking from diluting the drink. Martini people take their gin very seriously. So let's break it down, Martinis = Gin and Vermouth. Modern Martinis use dry or white Vermouth. Now a days a dry Martini is one that has very little Vermouth, the dryer the smaller the portion of Vermouth to Gin, those with more Vermouth are wet. A dirty Martini is one where the brine from the olive jar is poured into the drink adding a salty taste. When you move into Vodka Martinis these are not true Martinis but are part of the drinks that are called Martinis or fill in the blank – tinis. Since we are more interested in what tasted good, a personal choice, we have a variety of Martinis including some that are tini's called that more because of the glass they are served in as opposed to being a classic Martini. So have yours shaken or stirred, it's up to you! Just enjoy. Like all spirit only drinks this is where you want to spend you dollars on the good stuff. Have a Gin tasting party with everyone bringing different brands and you'll find that the tastes vary wildly. Have fun and bottoms up.
Manhattan's history, like most drinks, is not as clear as there are many ideas around the origin. A popular history suggests that the drink originated at the Manhattan Club in New York City in the early 1870s. The original Manhattan was a mix of American Whiskey, Italian Vermouth and Angostura bitters. Considered one of the classic drinks it is still served in bars all over the world. This drink should be mixed with the best Whiskey you can afford as combined with the bitters the flavors are sharp and very enjoyable when you move towards the high end. Ours is mixed with Bushmills and affordable Whiskey that stands up well to the bitters.
Only distilled run made from sugar cane juice from Brazil can be called Cachaca. To make cachaça, sugarcane is washed and pressed through large metal rollers to extract the juice. Then, the juice is filtered and fermented. The sugarcane juice is fermented from one to three days then distilled, cooled and filtered again. The result is a white rum that has notes of raw sugar cane and the leavening agent that the individual distiller uses to make their own special blend. This drink is server the traditional way with little other than the Cachaca in the drink to enjoy the true flavor.
Many drinks are an offshoot of the Gin and Vodka drinks out of the 20's and 30's that are part of the Cape Codder family which is Vodka and Cranberry. There are many variations on this drink like the Bay Breeze, Sea Breeze, Greyhound… Any way you look at it the drink reminds you of summer by the sea!
Classic is good, Champagne Cocktail fits that description. Perfect for almost any celebration, easy to set up and serve. Classics are classics for a reason!One of the classic cocktails and aperitif, this may be a little old fashioned for some but it grows on you. A before dinner drink that helps set the tone for dinner this is the perfect classy way to start a meal. There is a lot of complexity in this cocktail with the layers of taste coming at you both together and one at a time. The bitters with the light taste of Absinthe is rich and a little dark. This gives way to the bite of the Rye then the mellowness of the Benedictine. Very classic for a great reason! Lots of taste. One to pull out to impress.
The cosmo or Cosmopolitan was a fixture on the bar scene as early as the mix 80's. The drink was further popularized among young women by its frequent mention on the television program Sex and the City, where Sarah Jessica Parker's character, Carrie Bradshaw, commonly ordered the drink when out with her girlfriends. The film adaptation made a reference to its popularity when Miranda asks why they stopped drinking them, Carrie replies "because everyone else started."
The Cuba Libra, according to Baccardi, was born in a collision between the United States and Spain. It happened during the Spanish-American War at the turn of the century when Teddy Roosevelt, the Rough Riders, and Americans in large numbers arrived in Cuba. One afternoon, a group of off-duty soldiers from the U.S. Signal Corps were gathered in a bar in Old Havana. Fausto Rodriguez, a young messenger, later recalled that Captain Russell came in and ordered Bacardi (Gold) rum and Coca-Cola on ice with a wedge of lime. The captain drank the concoction with such pleasure that it sparked the interest of the soldiers around him. They had the bartender prepare a round of the captain's drink for them. The Bacardi rum and Coke was an instant hit. As it does to this day, the drink united the crowd in a spirit of fun and good fellowship. When they ordered another round, one soldier suggested that they toast ¡Por Cuba Libre! in celebration of the newly freed Cuba. The captain raised his glass and sang out the battle cry that had inspired Cuba's victorious soldiers in the War of Independence.
Daiquirí became popular in the 1940s. Wartime rationing made whiskey, vodka, etc., hard to come by, yet because of Roosevelt's Good Neighbor policy (which opened up trade and travel relations with Latin America, Cuba and the Caribbean), rum was easily obtainable. The Good Neighbor Policy (also known as 'The Pan-American program'), helped make Latin America seem fashionable. Consequently, rum-based drinks (once frowned upon as being the domain of sailors and down-and-outs), also became fashionable, and the Daiquirí saw a tremendous rise in popularity in the US. Originally served over cracked ice, Bacardi Rum, sugar and fresh lime juice it is now served frozen with a variety of different flavors. Two of our favorites are the lime and peach are included as well. Other fruits that translate well are peach, strawberries, raspberries or papaya.Classic cocktail from the turn of the 19th century this cocktail is great for warmer weather. It's gone through lots of changes over the years but this is a modern take that is quite close to the original.
Dark And Stormy gained popularity during the 70's and has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years. Popular down under it is a great drink with a strong kick!
The French 75 was created in 1915 at the New York Bar in Paris---later Harry's New York Bar---by barman Harry MacElhone. The combination was said to have such a kick that it felt like being shelled with the powerful French 75mm field gun, also called a "75 Cocktail", or "Soixante Quinze" in French. The French 75 was popularized in America at the Stork Club in New York. An elegant drink with Gin and Champagne with a great kick it a drink that was enjoyed by the upper class elite both men and women. Shades of Downton Abbey all that is needed is lace gloves or an ascot.
Fuzzy Navels popped up in the 80's along with big hair bands and clubs that appealed to younger clientele that liked the sweet taste. Seen as a sorority girl drink it was light, fun and didn't knock you out!
One theory on the origin of the Gibson has Charles Dana Gibson responsible for the creation of the Gibson, when he supposedly asked Charley Connolly, the bartender of the Players Club in New York City, to improve upon the martini's recipe, so Connolly simply substituted an onion for the olive and named the drink after the patron. Another story given by Charles McCabe of the San Francisco Chronicle states it is from San Francisco. A.P. Gibson remembered that when he was a boy, his great-uncle, prominent San Francisco businessman Walter D. K. Gibson (1864–1938), was said to have created it at the Bohemian Club in the 1890s. Whatever the origin the drink remains a classic twist on the martini. Simple and clean usually served with a single onion it remains a standard.
Grasshoppers are a sweet, mint-flavored, after-dinner drink. The name of the drink is derived from its green color, which is provided by the green crème de menthe. The drink reputedly originated at Tujague's, a landmark bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It gained popularity during the 1950s and 1960s throughout the American South as a perfect way to top off a heavy meal taking advantages of mint's naturally stomach settling effects.
Many drinks are an offshoot of the Gin and Vodka drinks out of the 20's and 30's that are part of the Cap Codder family which is Vodka and Cranberry. There are many variations on this drink like the Bay Breeze, Sea Breeze, Greyhound… Any way you look at it the drink reminds you of summer by the sea!
The Harvey Wallbanger is reported to have been invented in 1952 by three-time world champion mixologist Donato 'Duke' Antone (Paolantonio). The Harvey Wallbanger was made popular by then Galliano salesman, George Bednard. Legend has it that the drink was named after a Manhattan Beach surfer who was a regular patron of Duke's 'Blackwatch' Bar on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood during the early 1950s.A great classic cocktail of Rum, Maraschino Cherry Liqueur, key lime juice and grapefruit juice, this drink is the perfect summer drink. Time to go back to the 40's.
The creation the Hurricane a passion fruit-colored relative of a Daiquiri drink is credited to New Orleans tavern owner Pat O'Brien. In the 1940s, he needed to create a new drink to help him get rid of all of the less popular rum that local distributors forced him to buy before he could get a few cases of more popular liquors such as scotch and whiskey. He poured the drink into hurricane-lamp-shaped glasses and gave it away. The drink caught on, and it has been a trademark in the French Quarter ever since. It is a great drink that has enough flavor that you can use a less expensive run and it still tastes great. Great as a party drink on June 1st or mixes easily into batches.
Kahula and Cream is a great after dinner drink that goes down like a cold adult coffee! Low proof and very drinkable this is a great drink for when you just want something tasty to finish off the evening but still get up in the morning to go to work. A little on the rich side the heavy cream offsets the coffee liqueur with just the right level of sweetness. Yum!
Long Island Iced Tea has disputed origins. Tea. However, numerous sources attribute the origin to one or both of two inventors in the 1970s or 1920s. The most believable is that Robert "Rosebud" Butt claims to have invented the drink as an entry in a contest to create a new mixed drink including Triple Sec, in 1972 while he worked at the Oak Beach Inn on Long Island, NY. Local rumors also ascribe the origin to either Butt or another bartender at the Old Beach Inn, Chris Bendicksen. It remains a kick sand in your face and get drunk kinda drink with 4 spirits and a cordial that make this drink about 22 proof when all is said and done. Back in the 20's when many spirits were passed off as "tea" to avoid the stigma of drinking there were some similar drinks and even if they were a precursor to this drink it is more of a nod then a true twist on those drinks.
Madras is a great summer drink that shares a lot with the breezes and cape codder's. The difference is there are two fruit juices orange and cranberry added to Vodka. Add a squeeze of line and you have a great summer drink. Versatile moving from brunch to late afternoons by the pool this is a drink that everyone should have in the recipe portfolio.
Mai Tai comes with multiple recipes depending on which version you like, the Trader Vic's (1940's) or Don the Beachcomber (1930's). Either way both capitalized on the Polynesian trends of the 50's and 60's. A great fruit and rum based drink; no Tiki party would be complete without with a Mai Tai with an umbrella! Featured in the Elvis movie "Blue Hawaii" the drink has remained popular since then as a beach side have to have. So whatever recipe you use this is a wonderful fun drink that will be the hit of any pool party.
The Mojito is a rum based drink that is based on a drink from the 1800's out of Cuba. Classic Mojitos have only Rum, sugar, lime juice and fresh mint. The ultimate summer cooler it is often served with a splash of soda to make it even lighter. White or amber Rums are used for a crisp clean taste. These go down way too easy so keep track of the number while sitting around the pool.
An aperitif the Negroni is a classic drink from 1919. Slightly bitter, many people double the amount of gin since the flavors of the Campri and sweet vermouth are no longer needed to mask the flavor of gin that would have been available during that time.
A great cold weather drink, the Nutty Irishman, we think ski lodge good, sitting before a roaring fire with a great book and your feet propped up. Rich and decadent a perfect guilty pleasure."
The original Old Fashioned recipe would have used whiskeys available in America in the late 1800's, either Bourbon or Rye Whiskey. The first recipe is from 1895. But in some regions, especially Wisconsin, brandy is substituted for whiskey (sometimes called a Brandy Old Fashioned). Eventually the use of other spirits became common, such as a gin recipe becoming popularized in the late 1940s. The first mention of the drink was for a Bourbon whiskey cocktail in the 1880s, at the Pendennis Club, a gentlemen's club in Louisville, Kentucky.
Common garnishes for an Old Fashioned include an orange slice or a maraschino cherry, although these modifications came around 1930, sometime after the original recipe was invented. The practice of muddling orange and other fruit gained prevalence as late as the 1990s. In muddling the fruit make sure to muddle the fruit but try not to muddle the peel too much. You want to release the oils and fruit flavor but not a lot of the acid. As with spirit only drinks what whiskey/brandy you make this drink with matters. The fun is in trying to find which one you really like!"
The Orange Buck is a great drink, tart and refreshing. We made this one with fresh squeezed organic juice to it was very tart. If you want more sweetness you can add 1/2 oz of simple syrup for a slightly sweeter taste."
Pimms Cup is made with Pimms No. 1 which came about in the mid 1800's. In a London oyster bar in the 1840s owner James Pimm invented the thirst-quencher. Using gin, quinine and a secret mixture of herbs, good old Pimm served up the brew as an aid to digestion, dishing it out in a small tankard and the No. 1 Cup moniker was born. Still a great drink that has a calming effect on your digestion and an easy taste.
After the Second World War, Pimms extended their range, using a number of other spirits as bases for new cups. Scotch lent its name to No. 2 cup while No. 3 used brandy, No. 4 rum, No. 5 rye and No. 6 vodka. Of these sequels, the vodka cup and brandy (now called Winter) are the only ones in production while original No. 1 cup still reigns supreme in popularity." "
Ramón Marrero, created the Pina Colada using Don Q rum. After spending months perfecting the recipe, Mr. Marrero created and sold the first piña colada on August 15, 1954, while working as the head bartender at the Caribe Hilton International Hotel, the most popular hotel in Puerto Rico among the 1950s. Mr. Marrero subsequently received numerous awards and recognition for his creation. The earliest known reference to a drink specifically called a piña colada is from TRAVEL magazine, December 1922: ""But best of all is a piña colada, the juice of a perfectly ripe pineapple—a delicious drink in itself—rapidly shaken up with ice, sugar, lime and Bacardi rum in delicate proportions. What could be more luscious, more mellow and more fragrant?"" This quote describes a drink without coconut, as the piña colada was originally just the juice of a fresh pineapple served either strained (colada) or unstrained (sin colar). This evolved into a rum drink, and finally it changed into the drink we know today."
The creamier version of the Pink Lady for this recipe is thought to have been around since the 1920's. As most older drinks there are many versions this one uses both cream and an egg white. Once named on Esquire's list of the ten worst cocktails, most likely due to it's girly nature and color, it is still a great drink that has more kick then one would think.
Planters Punch is today considered not a specific cocktail, but rather has grown as the generic name for a set of rum-based punches. Recipes vary, containing some combination of lemon juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, orange juice, grenadine, soda water, curaçao, Angostura bitters, and cayenne pepper. Another one of the drinks popularized by Trader Vic's as part of the Tiki bar explosion. The first mention of the drink is in the late 1800's and again in 1905. It gained popularity in the 50's and 60's as the tropical drink craze swept the US. Our recipe has all the standard ingredients but there are many variations on this theme. This is a drink you can play around with, more pineapple or less… It really is a matter of taste.
A very old drink the Ramos Fizz has been around since 1888, however, it became widely available in the mid 1930's. A more labor entensive drink with multiple ingredients, it is fun to make and drink. One of the best parts is watching the foam appear on the top of the drink as you add the sparkling water!
The Rob Roy is a cocktail created in 1894 by a bartender at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City. The drink was named in honor of the premiere of Rob Roy, an operetta by composer Reginald De Koven and lyricist Harry B. Smith loosely based upon Scottish folk hero Robert Roy MacGregor.
Like a Manhattan, the Rob Roy can be made sweet, dry, or perfect. The standard Rob Roy is the sweet version, made with sweet vermouth. A dry Rob Roy is made by substituting dry vermouth for the sweet vermouth, this is not usual. A perfect Rob Roy is made with equal parts sweet and dry vermouth. Overwhelmingly, the Rob Roy is made with sweet Vermouth.
The Rob Roy is usually served in a cocktail glass and granished with a maraschino cherry (for the sweet version). Funniest use of this drink in a move is the 1970's movie "Turning Pointe" where the heroine goes on stage after being dumped and drinking a half a dozen of these. Drunk ballerinas are always funny."
Legend has it, Rum Runners were invented in the late 1950's at the Holiday Isle Tiki Bar in Islamorada, Florida. Supposedly, the bar had an excess of rum and certain liqueurs, hence all the somewhat bizarre number of liqueurs that are included in almost any recipe out there for a Rum Runner, that needed to be gotten rid of to make room in the liquor closet. They named the drink after the real "Rum Runners" that inhabited the Florida Keys in the early days running Rum in from Cuba and the islands.
Many changes are made as the Rum Runner passed through time. Most recipes are altered by using different amounts of the same ingredients. Sometimes an ingredient may be substituted or changed and the recipe will remain intact. The only ingredient that remains sacred is of course the Rum.
While no one seems to know when the Rusty Nail came across the bar I would suspect that it was in the late 30's early 40's. It would have been difficult to get Drambuie during prohibition. There is a brief history on the Drambuie page http://drambuie.com/us/#origins Made from honey and seceret blends http://drambuie.com/us/#secret-recipe the Rusty Nail is equal parts Scotch and Drambuie. A smooth drink that gets better as the Scotch gets better, we tried Johnny Walker Red but Cutty Sark would also be a good starting point.
The Salty Dog is the vodka version of the Greyhound. Most of these drinks are a riff on the drinks of the 1930's when fruit juices were used to mask the taste of sub-par alcohol due to prohibition. A great summer drink with a salted rim and tang of grapefruit juice it is a drink for those of you who prefer salty over sweet.
The Screwdriver reportedly got its name because American petroleum engineers in Saudi Arabia secretly added vodka to small cans of orange juice and stirred the mixture with their screwdrivers in the late 40's. It gained prominent in the 50's and has remained a popular drink since. It is usually one of the first drinks many people try since all you can really taste is the orange juice. It is an easy addition to your party list with only 2 ingredients, Vodka and OJ.
Many drinks are an offshoot of the Gin and Vodka drinks out of the 20's and 30's that are part of the Cap Codder family which is Vodka and Cranberry. There are many variations on this drink like the Bay Breeze, Sea Breeze, (Vodka, Grapefruit and Cranberry), Greyhound… Any way you look at it these drinks remind you of summer by the sea!
The Singapore Sling is a South-East Asian cocktail that was invented in the early 1900's by Ngiam Tong Boon, a bartender working at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel Singapore. Originally made with Gin, Cherry Heering, Bénédictine, and fresh pineapple juice, primarily from regional pineapples which have a different flavor and when shaken create a foamy top on the drink. While you don't need fresh pineapple juice using 100% juice that is not canned gives this drink a much better taste. If you want to go all out the flavor of fresh pineapple is easy to make if you have a juicer. Most readily available pineapples are from Dole in Hawaii and are still very good but if you are a purist you can look for Sarawak pineapples which may be available at specialty produce houses or grocery stores like Fresh Market or Whole Foods.
Sloe Gin is a red gin-based liqueur infused with sloe berries. It is usually bottled at between 15 to 30 percent alcohol by volume. The Sloe Gin Fizz is an off shoot of a series of drinks called Fizzes: Gin Fizz, Silver Fizz — addition of egg white, Golden Fizz — addition of egg yolk, Royal Fizz — addition of whole egg, Diamond Fizz — sparkling wine instead of carbonated water. More commonly known as a French 75, Green Fizz — addition of a dash of green crème de menthe. These drinks originated in New Orleans in the late 1800's/early 1900's and became very popular in the 1940's. While the Sloe Gin Fizz is very sweet it does pack a kick.
The Stinger during the heyday of its popularity, it was considered an ideal "nightcap" for a night out in New York. Dudly, the Angel, orders a round of Stingers while lunching with ladies from the church in "A Bishop's Wife". The drink is also featured in the Mad Men episode "Love Among the Ruins," set in 1963, when a man buys Peggy Olson a stinger at a bar. It is also seen as a hair of the dog cocktail and good for those suffering a hangover or people who want a quick drink but don't want the smell of alcohol on their breath. Add green Crème de Menthe and you have a Green Hornet a fun drink from the 40's.
Originally called the suffering Bar Steward, Suffering Bastard was supposed to cure a hangover. Not sure that it would but you don't need to wait to try it, this was one of our favorites of this batch.
Tequila Sunrises were originally served at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, where it was created by Gene Sulit in the 1930s or 1940s, the cocktail is named for the way it looks after it has been poured into a glass. The denser ingredients (cassis or grenadine) settle, creating gradations in color that mimic a sunrise. The more popular version, with grenadine, was invented by Bobby Lazoff and Billy Rice at the Trident restaurant in Sausalito, California in the early 1970s. The drink is considered a long drink which means it is served in a tall collins glass.
Tom Collins – Born in the late 1800s as part of a joke that was based on a man "Tom Collins" who was talking about the listener. This Tom Collins was usually just around the corner at a bar where the listener would rush off to see to this person talking about him. The drink gained great popularity and even had songs created around it. It was made with Gin and sparkling lemonade and remains much unchanged even in current days. Other Collins drinks like Whiskey or Vodka Collins follow much the same format with just a different spirit.
Margaritas have come a long way from the classic Tequila, Triple Sec and lime juice. There are many variations as well as serving options. Frozen, Rocks, Up, Salted or not are all part of the large group of recipes. A basic search could return 100's of recipes all slightly different. At the core though remains Tequila and lime. Adding any number of fruits, switching out the liquors and lead to an endless variety. Some of our favorites, the classic Agave Margarita, the fall taste of the Italian Margarita or the dramatic kick of the Top Shelf Margarita are very drinkable. All of these drinks will get you started exploring the wonderful world of Margaritas and Tequilas. The fewer ingredients and liquors the better the Tequila needs to be for the best taste. Invented in the 1940's it has, in all its permutations, remained a popular drink since then.
An aquired taste, the Waldorf Cocktail has a strong liquorice taste balanced with Bourbon and sweet vermouth. The jury was mixed with some people loving it and other's, well not so much. Created by a Waldorf Astoria bartender Johnnie Solon around 1900.
An awesome after dinner drink, the White Russian is just a Black Russian with some cream added. Higher proof than you would think, it tends to be too rich and sweet for more than a couple but is a nice finish to a good dinner."
The Zombie is a cocktail made of a variety of fruit juices, liqueurs, and various rums, so named for its perceived effects upon the drinker with the amount of alcohol in them turning them in essence into a Zombie. It first appeared in the late 1930s, invented by Donn Beach of Hollywood's Don the Beachcomber restaurant. It became very popular after an appearance at the 1939 World's Fair. Legend has it that Donn Beach originally concocted the Zombie to help a hung-over customer get through a long day. According to the original recipe, the Zombie cocktail included three different kinds of rum, lime juice, falernum, Angostura bitters, Pernod, grenadine, and "Don's Mix," a combination of cinnamon syrup and grapefruit juice.
Due to the popularity of the cocktail during the Tiki craze and the fact that Beach both kept his recipe secret and occasionally altered it, today there are many variations of the Zombie made at many restaurants and bars, some showing few similarities to the original cocktail. We have 2 of our favorites, the Zombie and The Zombie Returns. We suggest drinking these with friends during an evening of watching Walking Dead or any of your favorite Zombie movies, Zombieland!!! They are much more scary or funny depending. Either way it good to make sure you don't have much to do the next day." Based on a James Bond book, the Casino Royal is a classic sounding and tasting cocktail with all the ingredients of a first rate cocktail.

mahabis photo essay // istanbul by yosun
what we love about these black and white images of the legendary city of istanbul is that they have not been manipulated in anyway. turkish photographer yosun has shot these images in pure old fashion analogue.
these untouched photos use old chemical film to show their authenticity; this is what the photographer actually captured not what he wanted to capture. you might only get one click at it, but you get truth.
istanbul is the perfect city to look back on through an old camera and let the image talk. located on both sides of the bosphorus strait between the black sea and the sea of marmara, istanbul bridges europe and asia both culturally and geographically. it has always been a city of great beauty and contradiction.
it is a city that symbolises the change of era and empire. formerly known as constantinople it took root during ancient greek times but grew when the colony of byzantium was expanded by orders of roman emperor constantine the great.
for nearly a thousand years, the imperial city of constantinople was the last remaining outpost of rome until it was conquered by the ottoman sultan mehmed II in 1453, marking the end of the middle ages and the rise of the great muslim empire.
but as you observe yosun's pictures you realise this photo essay shows the humble and modern residents living in the shadow of the past... or perhaps it's a lull between the past and the future. yosun allows blurred lines, dark shadows and flaring light as birds and people go about their everyday lives in the shadow of great history.
yosun has done a particularly artistic job of his shots of the wharf and fisherman. but one of our favourite shots is their catch. even in black and white their shimmering scales gleam through, and their composition appears like the paint strokes of an abstract painting.
you can see the whole photo essay at yosun's behance portfolio.
