No matter how much the environmentalist make hue and cry on global warming, the action is missing from the political power, governments and forestry. Earth is going to die when our Super Giant Star Sun dies. However; mankind is going to make the ...

The Frayed Atlantic Edge: a review
Quite an experience he had. He chose the middle approach. Far less perilous would have been to experience the trip via video, if one were to exist. And a less acceptable approach would have been to take a class of students along, albeit in a ...

Elenydd: quiet beauty at the heart of Wales

The Frayed Atlantic Edge: a review
One form of historical bias not mentioned in this book is the way that English history is written with an aristocratic, therefore Norman bias. The Anglo-Saxons are regarded as crude and primitive, ripe for take over by the Normans, who must ...

Non-Alcoholic Party Drinks
I drink red wine with food but nothing else, - no beer, cider, spirits, liqueurs.
I do like non alcoholic cocktails, mocktails.
I like the idea of the TV show.

For years we have had a series called 2 for the Road on a local television news. It always has 12 featured drinks, with a well-known personality presenting each. Usually entertainers, sports figures, and religious leaders take part. The ...

Excellent. I do like your advice about making alcohol style drinks too attractive to children.
My husband and sons don't drink alcohol so these are especially useful ideas. I always do a fruit punch on Christmas Eve as an option with ...
