Ceol na Mara
Our second time at this cottage. A lovely restful week.We saw an Eagle hovering directly over the cottage 50 ft up, several deer walking past the cottage in the evenings, a seal, a Heron every day. A lovely clean and warm cottage, beautifully presented with lots to see and do. Highly recommended.
Moat House 10 - Abbey
We had a superb time at the highland resort. The accommodation was good but the only reservations we had were that Sky TV was included in the package which was not the case and the soundproofing between the two houses were poor due to noisy neighbors. This somewhat was a disappointment on the break in general.
Fon Tobar
Fon Tobar is a wonderful property in a great location with fantastic sea views. The wildlife in the area is amazing; sea eagles, golden eagles and red deer to name a few - all seen from the property. I have been visiting Skye for over 20 years and this is the best property I have stayed in. Returning later this year. Highly recommend.
It is getting harder and harder to leave this wonderful place on the Applecross peninsular. Staying at Burnside is the highlight of our year. Thank you for sharing.
Matheson's Croft House
First time booking with Wilderness Cottages. Extremely helpful and efficient. Cottage was delightful. Perfect location, beautifully furnished and equipped, and immaculately clean. Just ideal for a restful break in Scotland and close to so many great places to visit. Warm, cosy and welcoming.
Leachachan Barn
Absolutely beautiful barn, literally couldn't of asked for anything more. I suggest reading some of the comments in the Vistors Book for tips on things to do and see in the area, really helpful. The views of the loch and mountains from the barn are breathtaking and hosts were super helpful throughout our trip.
The Bothy
What a fantastic place to welcome the New Year - truly getting away from it all, tucked away in a little piece of Scottish heaven. Just WOW! Fabulous cottage with everything you could need. Beautifully appointed - a real home from home. Cosy log fires at night. Peace and tranquility. The comfiest beds. Breathtaking scenery, with amazing walks, literally on the doorstep. Loved everything about our week at The Bothy. Simply magical.
The Mill at Glenlivet
We stayed at The Mill for New Year 2018-2019 and could not have wished for a more lovely way to start 2019. We were greeted with the warmest welcome and a spotless house. The views over to the central Cairngorms are fantastic and we roamed around the Glenlivet Estate and nearby hills from the door. The house had everything we needed for cooking, finding our way around (lots of maps and guidebooks) and relaxing (lots of great books, games, very comfortable beds and a warm fire). We loved staying here, have already recommended it to family and friends and are trying to figure out when we can come back!
Seascape Cottage
A most enjoyable new year break in a delightful, cosy, well-equipped cottage with the seashore not far from the door. Owners Chas and Jane gave a great welcome and I then had all the privacy desired. Great location for exploring Galloway.
Swallow Byre
With all daughters now n mid twenties, a first - away for a week from the madness that is Christmas. Could not have wished for a more friendly, peaceful + relaxing location. Jane is fabulous, Byre very warm and well kitted out. Favourite memory among many will be star watching in the early hours of Christmas morning - clear skies and a couple of shooting stars !! Highly recommend and we will definitely return for another week of relaxation. Many thanks !!!
The Beach House at Garrachan
Pros: Beautiful & spotlessly clean house with stunning views from all windows. Contemporary Scandinavian style interiors. Garden runs directly down to the Loch with a seal colony playing close by. Only a couple of miles to Dunvegan with petrol station & shops. Cons: Nearest mobile phone signal is 1.5 miles drive around the headland. Limited WiFi (10Gb per week) negates use of the smart TV for streaming. Not a suitable property if you need to be online for work. No bath. No upstairs heating.
Cedar Cottage
Best cottage ever. We loved every single second at Cedar Cottage and were very sad to leave. It is a special place. So much thought has been put into the cottage and we loved the kitchen, so well-equipped. Perfect for our dog as garden is enclosed. Loved watching the birds. Such a peaceful retreat. Very much appreciate the impeccable cleanliness, attention to detail and the welcome chocs and milk etc. We will be back.
Drumfad Cottage
Well to start off we got upgraded to the barn and it was excellent me and my wife were over the moon it was huge, had everything in it that you could need. Both bedrooms have their own bathroom, kitchen was huge and everything in it, all rooms done to a high standard and the garden very big as well, very peaceful just what me and the Mrs wanted. Claire and David the owners are very friendly and nice people left us a nice hamper and milk and things very nice of them, thank you so much for our stay we will definitely be back and our dog had a lovely time too loved all his nice walks around the fields.
Fon Tobar
The cottage location is beautiful, facilities provided are ample, however, the cleanliness of the cottage really let it down and this is the first time we were told to strip the beds on leaving, a bit of a cheek when we had to clean it upon arrival. We would not recommend this property. Given two stars purely for location
Plodda Falls Lodge
What a stunning place! The property was absolutely gorgeous and the surroundings were incredible. We stayed a week and had such a lovely relaxing time. There were plenty of walks straight from the door and Plodda Falls were only a 10 min walk away. I can't describe how amazing and tranquill this place and the setting is, you have to see it to believe it. The owners were there to greet us and had baked us a delicious cake! I have never met hosts so friendly and welcoming before! so thank you for sharing this amazing corner of the world with us and opening your arms to us.
Poulary Cottage
Our third stay at this cottage, never disappoints, it is like home from home. Excellent facilities and the property is clean and well presented, will be back again. Managed to see Doc Marten (pine Marten) for the first time, hungry chap!!!! Lovely area for walks and cycling, not far to Fort Augustus either.
Tigh-na-Craobh (The Tree House)
Thanks very much for a wonderful stay at the Tree House. We found it to be very comfortable and cosy. The kitchen was well equipped and both bathrooms were great - big rain shower and a huge bath! Everywhere is decorated to a high standard and the place is very well situated for exploring the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and if we are ever lucky enough to return to Skye we wouldn't hesitate in coming back to the Tree House
Log House
The house is very nice and is situated in one of the most beautiful regions in Scotland. In summer it is an absolute stunner. In winter however, it would be nice if the cottage would have been pre-heated before arrival. It takes a few days to get all the cold out. The equipment - kitchen, bathroom, wood stove, wood - all very complete! We would certainly return, but not at this time of year. And, a personal welcome would be very much appreciated.
River Cottage
Stayed at the River Cottage for 5 nights, in December, What can I say... What a lovely place, amazing location for getting around the Highlands, (hikes and places to visit) very peaceful and great for your four legged friend (gated) John and family where very nice and very very helpful. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. Will definitely be back again. Thank you.
Carn Loch Cottage
Beautiful cosy house with amazing views. A great place to unwind. Would definitely recommend.
Poulary Cottage
Wonderful stay in this uniquely placed remote cottage where one can get so close to nature, and take in the fabulous vistas. Saw red deer, eagles, numerous other birds but our favourite is the pine marten who visits the bird table every night. Put out fat balls and scone drizzled with honey. He cleared the lot! We will return. In fact have already booked for next year. Highly recommended.
Station Cottage
This was my second trip to Station Cottage with the first being before the additional en suite bedroom was added. This is a great addition to the cottage. As it was November it was nice to be welcomed with the heaters on and table lamps lit so that it was very cosy on arrival. I had a good few days and hope to return when the days are a bit longer and bit less chilly outside.
Upper Folds
We have stayed at Upperfolds twice now and will do again. The house is warm, inviting and utterly gorgeous. Walks from the door in every direction and wonderful peace, just the sound of the birds. The place could not be better in any respect
Fon Tobar
Fabulous cottage with all the necessary amenities. Amazing views to wake up to . We were lucky enough to see a stag in the garden on two separate mornings . I would have given the cottage an excellent but no wood to burn and very little kindling left on site .
Eilean Mor Cottage
Eilean Mor is in an idilyc location. It has splendid views of Dunvegan Loch, and it's conveniently located close to Dunvegan where there's a great shop and some lovely cafes, such as Loch View. The cottage is really well appointed, and it was lovely and clean when we arrived. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly all week and we used the wood burning stove every evening, there was plenty of wood left for us. The cottage is within easy travelling distance of some of the most beautiful locations on Skye such as Neist Point and the coral beaches. It's also metres from one of the best restaurants in the country, let alone the Isle! We really enjoying going to Bog Murtle cafe and book shop in Struan and Cafe Lephin in Glendale. We will definitely return to Eilean Mor, and would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Skye.
Seabank Cottage
Second time at this lovely wee cottage and we had a thoroughly relaxing week. Seabank is clean, comfy and cosy. George and Jenny have provided lots of good info on the local area. Lochcarron is a quiet village at this time of year which suited perfectly. Will definitely be back.
Tor Fionn
The cottage was full of character overlooking the loch with snow capped mountain peaks directly behind. The village of Lochcarron has a good grocery store, petrol station and several good restaurants, so there was no need to travel far for supplies. It was a great location with a number of attractions close by. A secure enclosed garden was welcome as we took our Labrador who also thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the loch. We have stayed at another of your properties before and that too was also of an equally high standard. I would also add,as we did some extensive research,that Tor Fionn was very well priced considering it's amenities and location. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here as it was one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland we have stayed in.
Beach Lodge
This is our 3rd visit to the lodge, we always go in November each year when it is most deserted, 4 adults and a dog. The house is large, very comfortable and cosy with all facilities required for a comfortable stay with the option of a web fire if required. There is a basic tv provided with freesat/Freeview if required and a basic BT broadband for emails etc. Just step outside and the beach, coastline and isaolation are there in abundance to enjoy each and every day as the wind and weather change from one extreme to another. It is a 20 minute drive to Stranraer for supplies but with a bit of planning and taking a weeks supply you can maintain isolation if that's what you want. A brilliant place to stay.
Just amazing! Thank you for one of best stay we have every had.
Cuaig Croft
The cottage was clean and cosy, wonderful location, very isolated, good views. Beautiful area, need to be prepared to drive. Wood burner but hardly anything provided so would recommend logs etc - very few places to buy things so bring everything with you, would definitely visit again,
Matheson's Croft House
We were so pleased we chose to stay in this lovely house which is privately situated with amazing views of the loch and Eilean Donan Castle. The house is warm, well equipped and very comfortable, the Rayburn was easy and enjoyable to use. There is a really nice feeling of hospitality and welcome which the owners have managed to instil. We felt at home from the moment we arrived. Wildlife abounds, herons and deer are in the garden and down the lane, other than the sounds of the loch and the wind blowing in the trees, it was so peaceful and relaxing. For us, it was perfectly situated, near enough to Skye so we could visit and do a few walks but away from any honeypots. Locally, the Balmacara Estate provided beautiful walks which we had to ourselves and a standout moment was watching an otter in a nearby sea loch, catch his lunch and swim to a private spot to eat it. A magical week in a great cottage.
Leachachan Barn
Had a nice stay in this lovely converted barn at a superb location! Slightly let down by its competitors in that there was no light left on for us arriving (in the pitch black!), a couple of bulbs were out in the house including the front door light, the TV is in one of the bedrooms on the mezzanine level so not very handy if sharing, having the microwave and toaster in the utility is not practical when cooking, and the shower needs a good scrub as the grout is very dirty. Overall nice stay though as the scenery of the 5 sisters is what sells the place.
Just returned from Ardbeg Cottage we had an absolutely wonderful time, the cottage was fabulous everything you could wish for & more. The views were stunning & couldn't have asked for better weather. Would highly recommend everyone should visit this wonderful part of Scotland will definitely return. Wilderness cottages are definitely a company I will use again
Stable Cottage
Cottage is more than adequate for 6 people. Has all the amenities you could think of. Kevin was exceptional so helpful. The grounds are great well maintained. Would definitely return.
Upper Folds
Absolutely beautiful cottage in a lovely secluded setting, we had the most relaxing chilled break away from it all and will definately return. Thank you so much.
Old Lock Keepers Cottage
A lovely cottage, beautifully clean and well prepared. Plentiful logs to keep the fire blazing ensured the cottage was cosy and warm. Weir quite overflowing when we left so rather glad we had a suitable car. Description of the cottage was very accurate - right down to the steep stairs to the first floor!
White-Tail Croft
Only one word: perfect
Station Cottage
Loved the cottage. Everything you need so well thought out. Really relaxing, shops near by for your essentials, lots of walks, Speyside way just next to cottage, Aviemore 15 min drive away. Fantastic and will definitely re-book.
Score Bay Cottage
What a gem of a cottage, beautiful, cosy, well equipped and in the most stunning location. Could quite happily stayed forever. Even our teenage daughter loved it especially laying on the bed star gazing on a night. Definitely will be visiting again.
The Coltsfoots
This is the most comfortable and cosy lodge we have ever stayed in. There is everything you could possibly need and more. The wood burner was the only heat we really needed even though it was the end of October. This Lodge really is a hidden gem in beautiful surroundings. So peaceful and quiet and we would love to come back. It made the 10hr journey from Lincolnshire worth it!
What a fabulous cottage in an awesome location. Fabulously equipped, immaculate condition and presentation and fully stocked with a cupboard of games and plenty of fuel for the fire should the Scottish weather make a day indoors a necessity. The surrounding area has some of the most spectacular views, beaches, wildlife and historic places of interest. Would highly recommend this property, only with the consideration that if a person is of large stature they may struggle with the WC as the smallest room in the house really is the smallest room!
Tor Cottage
Great selection of places to stay. Best holiday company for places you would not otherwise have thought to stay at.
Leachachan Barn
Tranquil stay at the Barn listening to red deer roar across the loch in the evening while watching the stars come out. Perfect place to unwind with everything you need to stay warm and cosy. Thank you Linda!
This was our second stay at Cuilfail, the first time was a week and this time we stayed for 2 weeks which enabled us to travel the area a lot easier. We really enjoyed our stay on both occasions. The house is like home from home is really well equipped and although in an quiet position is fairly easy to go out for the day either North or South depending on where you wish to The dogs really loved being able to have a run in the garden before we left to visit places and meet with friends. As we have 3 English Setters it is really good to know we can take the dogs with us on holiday and they are safe playing in the garden.
Plodda Falls Lodge
We had the warmest of greetings from Jenny on our arrival (plus a beautiful homemade Apple cake) we were delighted with the house, it was absolutely lovely, immaculately clean & very comfortable, we loved cosying up with the log burner at night ,Jenny even brought us fresh vegetables from her garden during the week ,what a lovely touch ,such a genuine lady who obviously had our comfort & enjoyment very much in mind.The peace & tranquillity of the area was wonderful ,we were lucky enough to be able to sit out in the garden a few times,& to be able to just walk to Plodda Falls was a bonus. I would highly recommend Plodda Falls Lodge ,if you want a peaceful away from it all break & yet it isn't too far to Inverness .Jenny is the sort of lady I would love living next door to me ,so warm & friendly ,but unobtrusive.
Outstanding property with stunning views across Gairloch out to Skye. Thoroughly recommend it.
Plodda Falls Lodge
If you have not experienced a Wilderness Cottage before this is the one you . An exceptional cottage in a stunning location. Jenny goes out of her way to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable, even producing scrumptious cakes to welcome you. The surrounding wildlife is quite stunning and the sky at night is amazing. A fantastic time had by all. Thank you .
Tigh-na-Craobh (The Tree House)
Tigh na Croaobh was a very lovely base for our first time on Skye. The house was warm and welcoming, well laid out and had had everything we needed. Absolutely fantastic to sit in front of that picture window with the stove lit - whatever the weather! Had reason to contact the owners, who were super friendly and dealt with our query.
Cuaig Croft
We stayed in Cuaig Croft in October 2018. The cottage is lovely and had everything we needed. The Aga was really easy to use and meant that the kitchen was always warm. The bed was very comfortable, with soft bed linen and the bath was spacious. It wasn't at all cluttered and the decoration was pleasing. I particularly liked the hand made kitchen, which was well thought out. A very pleasant experience and I hope to return.
Taigh Druim
Lovely, well equipped house in beautiful location. House was warm and inviting and we loved being able to look down on to the water and across to Loch Coruisk from the patio and the from the windows. Loved the wood burning fire and the easy access to walks.

Historic Test: Afghan bowlers fight back after Vijay, Dhawan tons
Bengaluru [India], June 14 (ANI): Indian openers Murali Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan struck blistering centuries as India reached 347-6 at stumps on the rain-curtailed opening day of the one-off historic Test match against Afghanistan here at the M. Chinnawamy Stadium here on Thursday. Electing to bat first, the hosts made a perfect start to their innings as openers Vijay and Dhawan shared a huge 168-run stand for the first wicket. While Vijay smashed 105 runs off 153 balls including 15 boundaries and one six, Dhawan hit 107-run knock off 96 balls--comprising of 19 boundaries and three sixes. Following Vijay's dismissal, Dhawan then shared a 112-run partnership with first drop KL Rahul (54) to 280-2. Cheteshwar Pujara also contributed with 35 runs before Afghanistan bowlers fight back to reduce India to 347-6 at the end of the day's play. In the final session, India lost five wickets for 99 runs in 32 overs. Yamin Ahmadzai bagged two wickets while Wafadar and spin duo of Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman also chipped in with a wicket. Afghanistan, who have fast established themselves as a force to reckon with in the shorter formats, have become the 12th side to feature in men's Test cricket after Ireland debuted against Pakistan last month. On a related note, India will aim to further strengthen their first innings when Hardik Pandya (ten) and Ravichandran Ashwin (seven) resume the innings on Friday.

The first 6 months of the Trump era has been anything but calm….it has been one chaotic situation after another…..
After last week many people I know were saying "how much crazier can it get"?
First thing to remember is not to ask that question when it pertains to DC
The man of the week was the WH new communication director….The Mooch.
After his mash up with Rancid Prius I thought that he might settle into his new gig and stop the craziness around him……for he was hired to rid the WH of Rancid.
Damn! I was so very wrong!
First there was the story of his, The Mooch, follow of a gay porn star on Twitter….not something that would go away…..then news came out that his wife who was 9 months pregnant had filed of a divorce….
Anthony Scaramucci's wife was nine months' pregnant when she hit the new White House communications director with the news that she wanted a divorce, Page Six reports. Deirdre Scaramucci, 38, who gave birth to a boy, James, in New York City on July 24, had filed divorce papers in Nassau County Supreme Court on July 6. The day his son was born, the Mooch was in West Virginia with President Trump at the Boy Scouts Jamboree. The expletive-loving Wall Street veteran reportedly sent his second wife a text saying, "'Congratulations, I'll pray for our child,'" a source says. A Mooch associate adds that "there was discussion between him, her and the divorce attorneys about Anthony going to the hospital and unfortunately … the delivery was sudden." The 5-pound, 13-ounce baby was born two weeks early.
Deirdre Scaramucci "is mad," the source says, "They really aren't speaking right now." Her lawyer, Jill Stone, tells the paper she "is not making this into a circus. She has children to protect and that's what she's concerned about." The former Deirdre Ball reportedly wanted no part of the DC life, and is no fan of the president either. The associate says the Mooch followed a "different career objective that didn't align with Deidre's trajectory," and the couple is trying for an amicable divorce. There is a lot at stake in the split: The Daily News reports that Mooch has assets worth around $85 million.
But hey…that was not the best story of the week…..
After 6 days on the job The Mooch has resigned as Communications Director for Donald J. Trump…..
Well, that was quick: The Mooch is out. President Trump on Monday decided to remove Anthony Scaramucci from his brand-new post as White House communications director, reports the New York Times. The move reportedly comes at the suggestion of new chief of staff John Kelly, who is in his first day on the job. He "is already changing the culture here," one White House aide tells Politico in the wake of the Scaramucci shift.
Scaramucci already has submitted his resignation, reports ABC News. It wasn't immediately clear whether he would shift into a different position at the White House or leave entirely. Nor was it clear who would replace him. Scaramucci didn't even last two weeks in the position, though he made an immediate impression with, among other things, a profanity-laced rant against rivals such as former chief of staff Reince Priebus.
I am sure that we will get more than enough info from the MSM on this…..they will scratch this scab until it bleeds.
But come on!
You have to admit that this dude knows how to make an entrance as well as make an exit.
I do apologize but this whole situation is just damn funny….nay hilarious is a better description.
I swear this admin is full of great moments……

The autumn dusk was just beginning to fall. There was the slightest suggestion of a chill in the air. The campus of the big city church was, for the most part, still and quiet.
Just across a small courtyard from the solid sanctuary with its flagstone narthex and exposed buttresses was the prayer chapel. Made of the same stone as the church, its six walls enclosed an area hardly bigger than a master bedroom. The circular altar, made from a three-hundred pound piece of Jerusalem stone, had one of the Hebrew names for God carved on each of its four sides. It was centered beneath a suspended cross and surrounded by a kneeling bench of iron wrought to resemble a crown of thorns. The ceiling above the cross extended up two stories and ended with a skylight.
I looked over at my friend Margaret. She had known I would love this place. "Would you like a few minutes?" she asked and then quietly slipped out the heavy wooden doors leaving me alone.
I stood at altar, tilting my head back as far as it would go to look through the skylight at the quickly fading day, took a deep breath and lowered myself down onto the kneeler.
I was tired. And sick. And anxious. If anybody needed to be kneeling in a quiet place and opening her heart to healing it was I.
And, oh, yes, I was grieving, too. Grieving over the death of my friend, the one who, in the darkest time of my life always ended our telephone conversations with, "I'll say a rosary for you tonight." It was a soothing image even to this non-Catholic, the image of someone moving her fingers over worn beads, repeating sacred words and calling my name.
I folded my hands tightly together like a child playing "Here's The Church," felt my chin fall to my chest and heard myself praying.
I don't know what I prayed, just that words came out and drifted up and got caught in the great whirlwind of breath that constantly rises to worship that which is not – and never will be – human. I felt my eyelashes grow heavy with tears that did not fall, but floated, trembling like an over-full cup.
This wasn't my place. I had no history here. Had not witnessed baptisms or weddings or taken communion at this altar. Had not sung hymns or recited creeds under this roof or watched sunlight shoot through these stained glass windows to draw hopscotch courses on the floor. And, yet, it became in those moments a sacred place. One of my sacred places.
I have quite a few sacred places. Since I know that the sacred can not contained within the walls of any one church or even all the churches put together, that the sacred can not be contained at all, I have learned to find it everywhere.
The Celtic cross in the middle of Wesley Memorial Garden on St. Simons, surrounded by the unruly flowers and shrubs of the coast, is a sacred place. So is the top of the Temple Mound at the Ocmulgee National Monument, the ground around a particular fire-scorched pine tree just inside the property line behind Mama and Daddy's house and the roof-top deck on a certain beach house.
They are all places where I have experienced grace, the unexpected outpouring of the weighty, yet ephemeral, assurance that, as Julian of Norwich said, all shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well.
I blinked and the over-full cup emptied on my cheeks. A self-baptism as it were.
I stood and walked toward the door where I noticed a set of votive candles on either side, a very non-Protestant accoutrement to worship. I felt the skin around my mouth loosen as the corners rose into a smile.
Okay, Nancy, I thought as I picked up the lighter, this one is for you.
The wick flickered and then caught, stretching itself into the air, into my breath, into grace.

As Waste Age's October issue was going to press, U.S. Senators John Kerry, D-Mass., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., unveiled the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act. While it will take some time to assess the bill's overall potential impact on the solid waste industry, one thing was immediately clear: it could be a help to local recycling programs.
The legislation mandates a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, when compared with 2005 emission levels, and an 80 percent reduction by 2050. The bill also would create a federal cap-and-trade program. Similar legislation passed the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this year.
Additionally, the bill would require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a program in which the agency would distribute money to the states to help carry out recycling programs. At least 25 percent of the money would have to go to local governments, at least 25 percent to recycling facilities and at least 25 percent to manufacturing facilities.
The Washington-based Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries was quick to applaud the provisions. "We are pleased that the U.S. Senate is recognizing the important contributions of recycling toward reducing greenhouse gases, which is central to the goals of climate change legislation," said ISRI President Robin Wiener in a press release. "Recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions by significantly lowering the amount of energy needed to manufacture the products that we buy, build and use. Moreover, recycling helps create good 'green' jobs here in the United States."
Kerry and Boxer's legislation will almost surely be subjected to a significant number of amendments while it is being considered by the Senate. Waste Age will continue to follow this story in print and online.
In other recycling news:
Folsom, Calif.-based Waste Connections is teaming up with New York-based RecycleBank to provide recycling services to residents of 10 Denver suburbs and Colorado Springs, Colo.
The RecycleBank program encourages households to recycle by rewarding them with points based on the amount they recycle. The points are redeemable at local and national retailers, restaurants and grocery stores.
During the fall, new 96-gallon recycling carts will be delivered to Waste Connections customers in the Denver suburbs and Colorado Springs area.
"By encouraging households to recycle with the added incentive of RecycleBank rewards, Waste Connections of Colorado collects more recyclables, reducing waste otherwise destined for landfill disposal," said Waste Connections Central Regional Vice President Phil Rivard in a press release. "Moreover, it's easier than ever for residents to recycle — the new program brings with it single-stream recycling, in which households can place all acceptable recycling materials into one cart without having to sort paper, plastic, tin and glass separately."
The Hillsborough County (Fla.) Solid Waste Management Department has launched an education campaign that officials are hoping will increase recycling in the county by 10 percent.
The new campaign features a Web site — www.HillsboroughRecycles.org — at which residents can order new recycling bins and learn about the benefits of recycling. Another component of the campaign is the "Famous Bins" contest. Picture riddles will appear on billboards and bus sides throughout the county, and residents can submit their answers at the Hillsborough Recycles Web site.
The education campaign is funded through the county's partnership with the Curbside Value Partnership./p>

With Maria Noël Groves, Clinical Herbalist & Co-op Wellness Educator
Festive cordials featuring seasonal produce like apples, pears, and cranberries are a delicious way to celebrate the holidays, both to serve at gatherings and give as gifts. Fruit and herbs combine beautifully in simple, delicious recipes with limitless possibilities. You won't believe how easy they are to make!
Here are the basic recipes to get you started. Be sure to use the best quality alcohol you can afford. I really like Flag Hill's General John Stark Vodka made with apples from Apple Hill Farm in Concord. It's available at select liquor stores.
Basic Cordial (~25% alcohol)
- 1 part simple syrup, honey, or maple syrup (ie: 2 2/3 ounces)
- 2 parts quality vodka, brandy, or other spirit (ie: 5 1/3 ounces)
- Chopped fruit, herbs, spices, etc.
Make your simple syrup (if using – see recipe below). Loosely fill your jar with desired fruit and herbs. Pour in your syrup and alcohol. Let sit for up to one month, shaking daily. Taste every day or two and strain when it tastes good to you. Strain through a cloth-lined colander or strainer, and squeeze as much out as you can with your hands. Store in glass in a cool, dark, dry spot.
Simple Syrup
Simple syrup without herbs will last in the fridge for at least a month. It's an ingredient in
cordials, elixirs, and some herbal syrup recipes. If you add herbs, it should be preserved with alcohol or frozen to give it a longer shelf life.
- 2 part sugar
- 1 parts water
- Handful herbs (optional)
Simmer until the sugar is dissolved. You may infuse (steep) or decoct (simmer) this with herbs (just eyeball it) for about 30 minutes, then strain.
What to do with cordials?
- Drink them in a cordial glass for or with dessert.
- Add them to mixed drinks.
- Add them to hot tea or coffee for a kick.
- Drizzle them over ice cream, cakes, and fruit.
- Heat them up and thicken with cornstarch to use on desserts for a thicker, sauce-like consistency.
- Serve them in chocolate cups.
- Use them in marinades and sauces.
- Give them as gifts in cute bottles
Spiced Pear Cordial in Maple Syrup
This recipe makes about one pint of cordial and will keep for at least one year in the liquor cabinet.
You can easily double or triple the batch. It's a little unusual in that it's a cooked cordial. It takes a little extra time, but it really brings a richer flavor from the pears and spices.
- 2 small, ripe pears (or 1 large), sliced
- 4 ounces of local maple syrup, preferably grade B
- 2 ounces of water
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 6 whole cloves
- 1/2 vanilla bean, sliced lengthwise
- 2 cardamom pods, crushed
- 8 ounces quality vodka*
Simmer the pears and spices in the maple syrup and water for approximately one hour. Remove from the heat occasionally if it seems to be boiling too hard. Pour all the ingredients into a mason jar. (Remove the cinnamon sticks if you want the cinnamon flavor to remain subtle.) Cover with vodka, cap, and let sit on the counter for one to four weeks, shaking daily. Taste it every few days. The
flavor will gradually change, becoming more spicy and less fruity/nutmeg-y over time. When it tastes good to you, strain your cordial into bottles, and enjoy!
Quick Cordial Recipe Ideas
- Lemongrass Cordial: Loosely fill with fresh or fresh-frozen snipped lemongrass stalks (thick bottom parts). Cover with a 1:2 ratio of syrup:alcohol. Let sit for 2+ days, tasting daily.
- Apple Cinnamon Cordial: Use a similar recipe as the pear cordial, swapping in apples, double the cinnamon, omit the cardamom.
- Cape Codder: Simmer cranberries in simple syrup and then add alcohol in a 1:2 ratio.
- Cinnamon Blueberry Cordial: Simmer blueberries, mashing them, with simple syrup. Put 1 cinnamon stick in the jar. Cover with a ratio of 1:2, let sit to taste. Remove the cinnamon if it is getting too strong but does not yet have the blueberry flavor you want.
- Winter Toddy Cordial: Cover chopped ginger, lemons, and thyme with a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio.
- Sweet Anise Cordial: Perfect for Sambuca-lovers! Fill your jar about a quarter to halfway full with equal parts dried Korean licorice mint (from the garden, if you don't have any, just stick with star anise and fennel), star anise pods, and fennel seeds. Cover with a ratio of 1:2 simple syrup and vodka, and let sit for a few days before straining.
- Spearmint Cordial: Perfect for sweetening homemade Mojito and Mint Julep cocktails. Chop fresh spearmint, rub leaves and loosely fill jar. Cover with a ratio of 1:2 simple syrup and vodka, and let sit for a few days before straining (or to taste).

So, last week I did my very first vlog…….I was so nervous. So far I have been fairly anonymous. It's all been about the recipes and the ingredients, rather than me…..or at least I hope it has!?
Then, Good to Know Essentials Magazine asked me if I would do a recipe for them. They wanted a meal for 4, with lots of hidden veg for the kids, for under £5. Fairly straightforward right? Then they asked me to do a short video of how to make it……*gasps in horror*
Even though I have watched it about 500 times during editing, I still cringe a little when I see it. It's like watching yourself on a family video…..I don't talk like that do I? Why is my face doing that thing?…..only it's like watching yourself on a family video, pretending to be a TV presenter!
I'm sure I will get used to doing them. The main thing is that it's a really quick way of showing you how to make the recipe and what it's supposed to look like at all stages of cooking it.
It really is a great recipe and I would definitely recommend that you give it a go. Click on the following link to view it on the Good to Know website: Summer Tuna Steak Casserole Recipe

Plans to extend a Longridge medical centre, which would ensure a better service for patients for years to come, have been lodged with Ribble Valley Council.
But the proposals to extend the Berry Lane Medical Centre on Barclay Road, off Berry Lane would also involve relocating one of the town's main play areas, on the Kestor Lane recreation ground.
The plans, submitted by the medical centre's Dr Stephen Griffin and partners, says they are for "the change of use of the existing Ribble Valley Council owned play area to form part of a single-storey, part two-storey extension to the rear of the existing medical centre".
The centre sits in approximately 0.3 acres of land, but to enable the expansion proposals to go-ahead, they say a further 0.09 acres need to be acquired from recreation ground owners, Ribble Valley Council.
If the plans are passed, the children's play would then be reconfigured in conjunction with the council.
The doctors wish to create 10 additional consulting rooms, one treatment room, a sluice room, associated storage areas and a secondary patient waiting area on the ground floor.
On the first floor, more space would be available for staff offices, a conference room, multi-use space, stores and staff toilets.
The proposed extension would also improve internal circulation and formalise 12 staff car parking spaces externally.
Located and designed to sit harmoniously within the local context, utilising similar materials and scale of construction to the existing medical centre, the doctors say: "The proposed works are intended to allow the medical centre to expand in line with the needs of the surrounding community through the enhancement of their existing facilities.
"This will in turn ensure that Berry Lane Medical Centre continues to provide an excellent service to the local community for years to come."
The centre was built in the 1990s then extended in 2005/06 to create a small single storey rear extension for more consulting rooms.

... after working here for 25 years, this office is more than a business, it's like family.
ELGIN, Ill. (PRWEB) June 29, 2017
Paulette Peiffer, long-time operations manager for RE/MAX Excels in Geneva, Ill., recently joined Hank Erwin as a co-owner of that brokerage, which is one of the leading real estate firms in the Fox Valley.
Peiffer, a resident of Batavia, Ill., purchased the ownership interest of Chris Hansen, who along with Erwin acquired the office in 1999. Hansen will remain affiliated with the office as a broker but wanted to step away from his management responsibilities.
"When Chris approached me with the idea of buying his interest, it was a complete surprise, but I also saw it as a wonderful opportunity," said Peiffer. "For me, after working here for 25 years, this office is more than a business, it's like family. I like maintaining that atmosphere and the team we have now."
RE/MAX Excels currently has 40 affiliated brokers and a support staff of six. It has long been a central factor in RE/MAX's leadership of the Fox Valley real estate market. In 2016, RE/MAX was number one with a 25 percent market share, nearly twice that of its closest competitor.
One major change that the new ownership team is pursuing is a potential move to a new and larger office. Otherwise, Erwin and Peiffer plan to continue dividing the managerial responsibilities as they have in recent years, with Erwin acting as managing broker handling the sales side of the business and Pfeiffer in charge of all the support services and accounting functions.
"Having worked with Paulette for so many years makes this about the easiest transition I could hope for," said Erwin, who lives in St Charles, Ill., and has been affiliated with RE/MAX since 1981. "She's an exceptional person with outstanding administrative and people skills. I've had a great partnership with Chris, and this new arrangement promises to be equally enjoyable and successful. We both love this business and the people we meet through it."
The office will also continue to emphasize its commitment to charitable causes, including Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, TriCity Family Services, Special Olympics and support for the men and women of our armed forces.
RE/MAX agents consistently rank among the most productive in the industry. In 2016, RE/MAX Northern Illinois agents averaged 18 transaction sides. RE/MAX has been the leader in the northern Illinois real estate market since 1989 and is continually growing. The RE/MAX Northern Illinois network, with headquarters in Elgin, Ill., consists of more than 2,250 sales associates and 105 independently owned and operated RE/MAX offices that provide a full range of residential and commercial brokerage services. Its mobile real estate app, available for download at http://www.illinoisproperty.com, provides comprehensive information about residential and commercial property for sale in the region. The northern Illinois network is part of RE/MAX, a global real estate organization with 110,000+ sales associates in 100+ nations.

While balanced meals and exercise are the foundations of good health, exercise is bit harder to come by in this day and age of chaotic living. With more and more demanding jobs and hectic lifestyles your health could be the first thing that could take a back seat. With all the options to exercise – Yoga is perhaps one of the most holistic options that strengthens your body as well as your mind. There are various styles of yoga from posture based to breathing techniques to meditation. If you're considering Yoga as your next option for a healthier workout routine then read onto discover what you could expect at your local Yoga studio.
What Kind Of Clothing And Equipment Do I Need To Bring To Class?
Yoga is essentially done barefoot and on a rubber or a sponge based yoga mat. Even for a beginner the usual stretches will require you to wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to move comfortably. You might want to inquire from your Yoga studio first as to what kind of session you could expect. Absolute beginner classes can be found at the luxe yoga Brookvale studio which is run by qualified professionals who are eager to share their love of the subject with newcomers. A general rule of thumb would be to wear what makes you feel comfortable. This could be a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt that has long-sleeves.
Buying Yoga Accessories
As a beginner you might not need any accessories, but some classes will make use of blankets, blocks, straps and bolsters. Check with the studio first before your purchase any of these items online as most studios have all this equipment already in stock. However, if you're following an online yoga class then you will need to purchase some of these items. There are some online classes which suggest alternatives to the props that they recommend. But if you are thinking of buying anything at all – the yoga mat would be your most frequently used accessory.
How Would I Know If Yoga Is For Me?
As is the same with anything tried for a first time – the 'pudding is in the eating' as they say and you'll only know if you like something unless you try it out. The best aspect of Yoga is that it does not require you to be at a certain fitness level. Nor is age a barrier to participating. However, with that said you may be recovering from an injury and that would make sitting for a long time a bit difficult or make it difficult to perform a certain posture. But don't let that stop you as our instructor will steer you through many more options to get around any physical difficulties.
Apart from the tips above there are a few things that you do need to keep in mind before you begin your classes. It doesn't hurt to do your homework and to shop around for the class that is right for you in terms of timing as that will make it all the more likely for you to stick with a routine.

AirplaneMarch 2nd, 2018
Dating back to a thousand years ago, human beings are still limited in a small island, the only way to travel for a long distance is to walk with the horse for months. It takes more than a month to simply send a mail to their friends within the country, not to say across the country. However, ever since the accelerated development of human civilization, perpetual scientific discoveries have accompanied mankind all along the journey. It was by the invention of airplane that modern people have been able to fly through different continents. The merits of airplane are not only this, but can be discussed for more than a week without pause. To sum it up, we can categorize it into 3 aspects: goods delivering speed, human's communication, and the development of this society.
External influence and inner deficiencyMarch 1st, 2018
Ever since the accelerated development of human civilization, the discovery of human itself has become a hot issue. There is a widely saying goes, though human now have the ability to control their own life, they tend to spend more of the time on personal enjoyment rather than what the society need them to do, what they should do. From my perspective, I strongly agree with this statement, for the sake of the invention of digital devices and deficiencies in education.

Rogue Males - Adam Riches *****
I figured it was charachter comedy rather than stand up, there were seats near the front, the room was filling up and I was by myself, so I figured I could sit at the front and be safe..... Big mistake. Schoolboy error.
There was some hilarious charachter acting in the show from Riches and his sidekicks (with the Daniel Day Lewis impressions being the highlight) but the only people who get it worse than Mr Day Lewis are the poor audience members in the front row.... which included me.
During the show I was snogged by Riches, forced to bear my (lack of) chest hair, dressed up as a MI6 operative and only avoided an unusual drinking contest because a fat guy in the audience decided to start heckling (NEVER heckle when there is audience participation in the show).
This is exactly the sort of show you'd want to go and see with your work mates. (Point out the boss and I'm sure Adam will oblige in picking on them).
Despite my humiliation I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm sure the audience enjoyed it even more!

BERLIN -- Prior exposure to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy does not rule out potential benefits from additional anti-TNF therapy for patients with psoriasis, according to data presented here.
More than 60% of TNF inhibitor-experienced patients had at least 75% improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) after 12 weeks of treatment with adalimumab (Humira). About half of patients treated with two or more prior anti-TNF agents had PASI 75 responses.
"Adalimumab alone or in combination with topical therapy was efficacious for patients previously treated with anti-TNFs, regardless of the prior anti-TNF used, the number of prior anti-TNFs, or the reason for discontinuation of prior anti-TNF," Diamant Thaci, MD, of J.W. Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, reported at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology meeting.
"Both treatment regimens were well-tolerated in patients, with and without prior anti-TNF exposure," he added.
Switching from one anti-TNF agent to another is thought to be commonplace in clinical practice. Only recently, however, have the safety and efficacy of switching received careful scrutiny.
Data from a multicenter European clinical trial provided an opportunity to examine the risks and benefits of giving a TNF inhibitor to psoriasis patients who had already received one or more agents in the class.
The primary objective of the trial was to compare adalimumab plus vehicle or active topical therapy (calcipitriol/betamethasone) in patients with moderate or severe psoriasis that had not responded to at least two systemic therapies, Thaci said.
The primary endpoint was PASI 75 response at 16 weeks. The results showed that adding topical therapy to adalimumab led to a higher response rate at four weeks, but response rates in the two groups did not differ significantly at 16 weeks.
Thaci reported data from an analysis of 730 patients. About 40% of the patients had a history of exposure to anti-TNF agents, primarily etanercept (Enbrel) and infliximab (Remicade).
Overall, 71.7% of patients with no history of anti-TNF therapy had PASI 75 responses at 16 weeks, as did 61.7% of anti-TNF-experienced patients.
Patients with prior anti-TNF exposure had PASI 75 response rates of 57% with adalimumab plus topical therapy, and 67% with adalimumab monotherapy. Anti-TNF-naive patients had response rates of 70% with combination therapy and 74% with monotherapy.
Patients treated with one prior anti-TNF agent had a PASI 75 response rate of 64.5%, compared with 49.0% in patients who had received two or more TNF inhibitors.
PASI 90 and PASI 100 response rates were similar in patients who had received one or more prior anti-TNF therapies.
The reason for discontinuing prior anti-TNF therapy also did not significantly influence the likelihood of response to adalimumab. The response rate was 53.8% in patients who never responded to the prior therapy and 63.5% in patients who lost an initial response.
Adverse events occurred in 63.8% of patients with prior anti-TNF exposure and 60.5% of those with no history of treatment with a TNF inhibitor.
Serious adverse events occurred in about 4% of patients in the treatment-experienced and naive patients.
The study was supported by Abbott Laboratories.
The authors did not disclose any relationships.

Harry Gamboa Jr. is sipping coffee in Philippe's, the downtown deli he's been using as his unofficial office for years. A few blocks away, the Los Angeles River separates the central city from East L.A., where he grew up--a neighborhood he has come to see as an "urban desert."
"I don't mean to imply that it's a negative place," he says, "although of course a desert can be dangerous. But if you can adapt to this harsh environment you can have fun, even though it makes you grow scales, spines and a thick skin."
Gamboa certainly adapted.
One of five children in a poor Mexican immigrant family that settled in L.A. in the late '40s, he was raised speaking Spanish, then plunked into an English-speaking school that had little patience with his language difficulties. Perpetually at odds with authority figures at school and on the streets, he remembers that by the time he graduated from high school all he wanted to do was "explode." What he did instead was become an artist, a course that was set early in life.
"When I was 6 years old, some gang members in our neighborhood rounded up a bunch of us small kids and forced us to watch them stab a guy to death," Gamboa, 43, recalls. "I realized then that gangs weren't for me."

Rule Disasters
Recommended Card Games
Computer conversion
All month
Age of Steam
Well, it's been a while since we last played this. Long enough that we needed a rules recap before we got cracking. There's a cottage industry producing expansion maps, and we've bought a few of them. We play so infrequently that we may aswell not have bothered though. As usual, we just stuck with the basic map.
Steve had played this just a few days ago with a different group, and his recent practice showed. That and the fact that the rest of us decided to build on top of each other and leave him alone for the first half of the game.
The rest of us were bumbling along without much of a plan, as evidenced by spectacular moves such as running out of cash to pay loan interest and having to move back on the income track. And upgrading the locomotive to two links without bothering to build any adjacent links. Oops. So don't expect to pick up any hot tips for professional play from this report. But eventually we managed to get our game together and even started to run at a profit.
It was clearly Steve's game for the taking if we continued to leave him to it so eventually we plonked some tracks down in "his" area and started messing with his plans. And stealing his cubes. This ended up being a successful invasion. We were surprised to find out how successful in the final reckoning, when we realised that he'd been kicked down to third place.
I say this about many games but we really should play this one more often. As it is we approach each game almost as beginners. I always forget how useful the urbanisation option is until I see somebody doing something clever with it. Usually, just after I've paid more than them in the auction phase to do something far less clever or useful. It's a shame there isn't a computerised version we could practice with. Well, perhaps not. We'd never be able to compete with Tel again if that ever happened.
With two people new to the game, we decided to use the set of cards initially suggested in the rules.
Myself and Andy were talking about the game on the way over, and were pretty sure that Tel would leap on the "play a card to play a card to play a card" combos. He has a bit of a reputation for this in Magic. To our utter lack of surprise, this is exactly what happened. I'd tried that in our first game and did alright but was a bit behind the pace. So this time I tried to minimise action cards and concentrate on building up high value cash cards instead. I'm not entirely sure what Andy and Steve were doing, but they did seem to be using mines to get cash and militia to mess with everybodys hands. Perhaps they will add a comment and enlighten us all.
Whatever we were all doing, it turned out to be a tight game with victory going to the person who grabbed the last six point province. This turned out to be Andy, and propelled him from last place to victory. That province had been sitting on the table taunting us for a couple of rounds as we all failed to come up with the necessary eight cash to claim it. It's good that the game was so tight, but it's a shame that it ultimately came down to whoever got lucky - or stopped being unlucky - with their cards.
After three games my opinion seems to be firming up as good game, but not as good as the hype would have you think. For me, four players is at least one too many. With the limited amount if interaction between players, and not much to think about between turns, I think the fewer players the better. I can see it being excellent with just two players, just like the original deck building which I mentioned earlier.
Comment by Andy
Actually I think that we were all going for money, but myself/Steve did use the military strategy to hold people up. I also realised late in the game that one of the cheaper cards was in fact very powerful in the end game and so was the first to pick that up. This suggests to me that there are some unexplored strategies out there and to date we have only played two of the suggested set-ups.
I doubt if the number of players it makes too much difference, but an interesting two player variant would be to allow the two players to select the starting position (each choosing alternately).
Comment by Tel
My initial impressions of this one is "what is all the hype about". I thought the game was ok, but nothing too special. I understand that there are lots of different cards to give variety, but towards the end of the game I thought the whole process was starting to get a tad tedious. The last 2 or 3 rounds were all about who would be "lucky" enough to draw 8 cash to buy a province card. I do understand that the early rounds of the game are all about building the right sort of deck to make this more likely, but at the end of the game my overriding thought was one of "was that it". Another case of the game not matching hopes/expectations caused by the hype. That said I'll be more then happy to give it more table time after all I did rate a solid 7, just not the 9 I was hoping for, and it is possible that I need a few more plays for the subtleties to break through my thick skull.
Snow Tails
It's that time of the year when our shelves are stacked with shiny new games. So this seems like a good time to try to get some session reports up on the site.
This was our first Sunday games day so it should come as no surprise that we decided to try out a few new games. Snow Trails, the new game from Fragor, was our opener.
Unlike their previous games, this has no cute animal pieces. The animal theme continues though as this is all about husky racing. Like many racing games it comes with a modular track to allow different courses to be constructed. We opted for an easy one for our first crack at it.
Also like many racing games, this is card driven. Each player has a sled which is pulled by two dogs. Each sled is equipped with a brake. Cards are played against the dogs and / or the brake to determine movement. Give each dog the same strength card and the sled will move forward. Give them different strengths and it will veer in the direction of the stronger dog.
Obviously, going straight ahead would be a little dull. Thus the courses have corners to keep things interesting. To keep things even more interesting, each corner has a speed limit. Going over the speed limit is a bad thing as that gives you one or more penalty cards. Crashing into the side of the course is similarly bad for much the same reason. Penalty cards are bad because the more you collect, the smaller your hand size becomes. The smaller your hand size, the smaller your options are. Worse, collect enough penalty cards and you are eliminated. Yikes!
The overall feeling was that this is a nice game. The movement is clever; I've not seen anything quiet like it. You need to plan ahead a bit to make sure you can take corners without losing too much speed. you also need to be able to react to people moving their sled into your preferred path, though we didn't see this happening very often. Don't get the idea that this is a deep game though. It's probably best thought of as a longish filler. Whether you need a copy of this depends on how much you like racing games, and how many you already have. I'll certainly be happy to play it but it's not one I personally feel the need to own.
Comment by Tel
I'm absolutley delighted that this is one of the games I was fortunate enough to get brought back for me from Essen. I've been looking to pick up a Ave Caeser/Ausgebremst type game for a couple of years and this game fills the hole perfectly. I look forward to trying some of the harder track configurations, but being the only player to have dent cards for more then the last round I may need a bit more practice with the huskies first.
Comment by Andy
I think there this is a clever game, plus I beat Tel cos he panicked when I overtook him on the big bend :)
Space Alert
We don't really have much of a history of playing cooperative games here at the Piddinghoe Gamers. We played Lord of the Rings a couple of times, but Oggie kept making things a little too interesting with his ability to shuffle tiles into an awkward sequence as possible.
So all bets were off regarding how we were going to find this game, which is probably well described as a real time, cooperative version of Roborally.
The idea behind the game is that the players form the crew of a ship exploring a remote part of the galaxy. It consists of two rounds - planning and resolution.
The planning round is where the real time Roborally comes in. The gimmick with this game is that it comes with a CD which has a number of missions. Each mission consists of a computerised voice announcing various events. The most significant of these are the appearance of various threats which the players need to react to. The crew then attempt to figure out how they will manouver around the ship, moving energy between reactors, shields and weapon systems. Each player lays down a sequence of cards to show what their actions will be.
The resolution round is where you see how well, or how badly, the planning stage was. Well enough and the crew survive to tell another tale. Badly enough and the ship goes bang. Nobody goes home. Nobody wins.
We played a couple of the tutorial games which introduce the basic rules. The first we survived more by luck than judgment. By the second we knew what we were doing and survived the threats handily. Having flicked through the rest of the rules, I know we got away easily this time. The real game introduces all sorts of nasties which we didn't have to worry about.
So, how did it play? More or less as I expected actually. There was a bit of confusion at the start as we tried to figure out how to make everything jel, but things soon started to fall into place. The time pressure imposed by the CD is important as it keeps everybody on their toes and prevents everybody working things out optimally. The pressure wasn't particularly significant in our tutorial games but I can see it ramping up on the real missions. Basically you find yourselves communally trying to solve a puzzle, working out how to get not only people to the right places at the right time, but also in moving energy round the ship. The more threats to contend with, the more difficult the puzzle. The game comes with a number of different missions, which introduce threats from a random card deck. Thus there should be quite a lot of replayability.
I probably liked this more than anything else, as I usually find something which plays differently to be interesting. This game certainly meets the "is a bit different" criteria. Nobody appear to be havign a bad time though. We'll see where the more advanced rules bring us.
It's a shame about the annoying robotic sound on the CD though - it's a tad annoying, and not as easy to hear as it could have been.
Comment by Tel
This is one of those games that I cant see becoming a regular to the gaming table (but then again how many are), but it will certainly be welcome as an occasional change of pace.
I'm not usually a huge fan of cooperative games, they often seem to suffer from one player dictating to rest how the game should be played out. In our short exposure to Space Alert this didn't happen, whether this was because no-one had any idea what we were doing or because the time pressure exerted by the CD prevented too detailed a co-ordinated plan only time will tell. I certainly hope to be aboard the next time SS sitting Duck blasts off.
Comment by Andy
I'd be the first to admit that these aren't my favorite types of game but this one was in the "vaguely fun, needs more meat" category. As we were only playing the intro scenario, I gave it the benefit of the doubt, and we won despite my feble attempts to add some spice by deliberately drawing power from the main engines - to make bacon sandwiches of course!!
I'd like the game more if I can manipulate events such that red gets killed :)
