Illuminate Your Home
Here at This Old House, we love accents with purpose. These decorative metal lanterns with faceted glass panels look charming but also supply subtle illumination. Precursors to electric and gas lights, lanterns guided the way along dim paths and from carriage to front door. Modern versions still have handles for carrying or rings for hanging, as well as designs that echo centuries of use around the world, from Morocco to the English countryside. Some lanterns are meant for indoors or to be taken outside just for the duration of dinner alfresco, but others are built of weather-resistant materials to be left in the elements long-term. Here are 13 glowing options.

Here's What Obama Said About Gay (And Others') Rights!
"...We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths--that all of us are created equal--is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.
"It is now our generation's task to carry on what those pioneers began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law--for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm.
"That is our generation's task--to make these words, these rights, these values--of Life, and Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness--real for every American. Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life; it does not mean we will all define liberty in exactly the same way, or follow the same precise path to happiness. Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time--but it does require us to act in our time.
"For now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect. We must act, knowing that today's victories will be only partial, and that it will be up to those who stand here in four years, and forty years, and four hundred years hence to advance the timeless spirit once conferred to us in a spare Philadelphia hall...."

I've read a half dozen suggestions on how to change slider speed, but not one of them seems to work for me.
The site is JapaneseTheGame.com and if any of you wizards can help me out, I'll sure appreciate it.
I just want to slow it down by about 50%, but I can't find where the speed value (or whatever it is) is stored.

FT working mommies
Get off work between 4 and 5pm,
520 home
525 lo has snack and drink while I make dinner
6pm dinner
645 dinner and dishes etc are done and we hang out until
When lo gets sleepy eyes (between 730-830) start night routine, bath, hugs, and going through the house turning off all the lights (she loves this part more than anything, looks so pleased with herself flipping switches) and lay her down.
Lately this has been shifted to later because of teeth etc so bedtime is closer to 1030.
I tend to wind down for a few hours so I usually hit the sack between 11pm and midnight thirty.
645am Alarm
700am roust DH and DD out of bed
700-730 DD eats breakfast, I check her folder, get her lunch money straight
730-745 DD gets dressed, DH throws on clothes
745 DH drops DD at school and comes home
745-9 I go back to bed
9 I get ready for work, pull last night's laundry out of washer and into dryer and put another dirty load in if necessary
930 I leave for work
10 I arrive at desk
630 I leave work unless DH has called in a panic that he's stuck in traffic in which case I leave no later than 530 to get DD from aftercare
7-8 We eat dinner somewhere between 7-8
9 DD goes to bed - I pull laundry out of washer and put in dryer and start another load if necessary
Midnight-1am - bedtime
It's not super hectic but I refuse to clean any more than necessary during the week and DH does the cooking and grocery shopping.
Give a poor man $100 and he will spend it because he has to. Give a rich man $100 and he will do nothing because he can.
I get all of my work clothes together Sunday as well and drape EVERYTHING in the same spot every day after work (try to anyway) to help me not have to search for anything.
I bathe with lo, so we dont have to do that in the morning.
I have a low maintenance hairdo, and dont wear make-up to work, its 2 less things for me to to in the morning.
Having her a diaper and wipes on my night stand helps with not having to go back and forth for things when I am sleepy and I change her on my bed.
So much easier to change her on my bed, then climb into bed and nurse her. (gave me more time to wake up also or mentally prep for the day).
At this point the only thing I could do to make mornings shorter is to skip something important like brushing my teeth or feeding lo. Not happening.
The fastest I've gotten us up and out the door from start to finish was about 25 minutes. I had lo a sippy cup with milk in it already ready the night before, got myself dressed first, then got her ready and sat her with her sippy while I brushed my teeth etc.
Thank god all of the stuff was already together!
10am? What is that like?
10am is perfection - I'm a night owl. 11am would be better but I wouldn't get as much time with DD. Back before DD started having to be up early for school I didn't have to be at work until 1pm.
Give a poor man $100 and he will spend it because he has to. Give a rich man $100 and he will do nothing because he can.
I can't help but wonder how those of you who only sleep 4-6 hours a night are even functioning during the day!
I go to bed around 10pm, and wake around 6:30, and still wish I had more time for sleep...
Fact: Bears eat Beets.
Jen - survival we do what we have to regardless of how much sleep we get or what we would like. LOL I wish the days were longer so I had more time for sleep and to spend with the kids. I also wish weekends were 3 days long.

IPC Data on DREAMers Cited in California's Long Beach Post
Published on Tue, Feb 11, 2014
The IPC report "Who and Where the DREAMers Are, Revised Estimates" was cited by the Long Beach Post in an article titled "LBCC, CSULB Participate in Largest Scholarship Fund for 'DREAMer' Students".
"Anissa—then a young history student at Cal State Long Beach who happens to also be undocumented—posed a rhetorical question to Post readers: 'I don't even recollect being in Mexico—where does that put me?'
Anissa is one of an estimated 1.8M undocumented persons living in the United States, the vast majority of whom were brought here illegally from Latin America while they were babies or young children. According to the Immigration Policy Center, nearly half of those individuals live in California and Texas."

Love the CSV User Import plugin. Super easy and saves me lots of time. Only one difficulty I can see.
I also use Subscribe2. And, when I bulk upload users via "CSV User Import" plugin, there is no default setting for mailing to subscribers. I still have to go back into each subscriber to select categories they should receive and e-mail format (ie; HTML excerpt, HTML full, Plain, etc). Is there any means of having this update at the point of bulk upload? Or, is there any means of defaulting to a specific category or format? Or, are you aware of any compatibility issues w/S2 which prevents importing this data from S2 into the subscriber?

My website hosting service had server problems yesterday and my wordpress installation (at http://callybooker.co.uk) was affected. I followed the instructions to add the repair command to my config file, but after running the repair I get the following residual errors:
wp_comments: 3 clients are using or haven't closed the table properly
wp_options: Table is marked as crashed
wp_commentmeta: 3 clients are using or haven't closed the table properly
As I received some new comments during the day yesterday, I'm guessing that these files were active when the server was unstable and have been corrupted as a result.
I am a very basic level user and have no idea what the implications are. I was suprised to be able to go to my most recent blog post and add a comment without any difficulty, for instance.
Is there something I can do to fix these files? Do they need further fixing?

Practical Multimedia Techniques in Linux
You've been through the basics of playing sound and editing videos on your Linux system. Now take a step closer to the tools and techniques of the experts.
Hardware and software vendors long ago solved the problem of integrating computers with standard peripherals like printers and disk drives. The emphasis of the last few years has been on incorporating devices that were once considered quite separate from the realm of the home computer. Your computer, of course, is quite good at helping with anything digital, so it is no wonder developers have focused on using computers to manage the output from tools such as digital cameras and digital audio equipment. Linux users, who are technically curious as a group, are often the first in line to try these new techniques. The mainstream Linux systems are packed with multimedia software – media players, video editors, CD burners, sequencers, and synthesizers, and even more tools are available on the Internet. But it is often difficult to find practical documentation for how to use these tools in real situations.

A Man cannot serve two Masters.
Therefore, to those who call themselves Christians.
You are a bunch of lying sacks of shit who bring shame to the name of Jesus the Christ.
You are supposed to be fighting for one thing and one thing ONLY. That is the Kingdom of Heaven as he had described it to you.
He told you to remain apart from this world. But no! You have been seduced by it. You have been tricked! You have been utterly lied to. You have been lead to defend nations created by the imaginings of Man. You have forsaken his true word. You have become a shame, a SHAME!
How dare you claim to believe in him and his word and DO WHAT HE TOLD YOU TO DO!
Proud Americans, Proud Englishman, Proud Irishman, Proud Australians, Proud, Proud, Proud, Your fucking pride disgusts me!
And you expect a savior. You expect redemption.
You shall have none unless you COME OUT!!!
To the Muslims, how are YOU any better?
You get pissed because someone insults Muhammed, you fucking Idolators.
FUCK MUHAMMAD! FUCK HIM every way to sunday.
You with your kneeling and praying and kneeling and praying and kneeling and praying, for what?
Allah is your god huh. Well fuck Allah to! I have that crown bitch!
What will your praying do to retrieve it?
Your praying is for naught!
You oppress your people who yearn to be free.
You claim to be a Nation of Islam, yet you are utterly divided as a people.
Why? Because you follow people who hunger for fucking power over you. You beg for someone to serve. You are neither free in your hearts nor you mind.
Your Quran has done NOTHING for you.
Today I wipe my ass with it's pages!
I spit upon it!
It is a cursed thing to me.
For it is nothing but another pile of Gold that your people lust over and fight over, and kill their enemies and friends over.
You value paper MORE than LIFE!
Can you not see how badly you were deceived?
To the children of Isreal, oh what an abomination you have become. YOUR Nation is not supposed to exist until God's heavenly kingdom come. Yet you have been seduced to accept from your own enemies what is not yours to receive!
All of your books are garbage. Utter garbage. Vile wasted words of garbage. Stupid people. You need to go to books to find God's word when God's word should be what proceeds from YOUR mouth at all times. For God is the spirit of life, and YOU value it NOT.
Fuck you, Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you all again for you have not love in your heart for what God has created, but have sold your souls to that which Man made with his own hands.
A curse on you all!
May the Heavenly father wipe you all from this earth. YOU are a plague to his creation.
And those who seek to baffle with bull shit new age razzle dazzle to mystify the unaware. Hell has a special place for you and your crystal waving, charm making, tarot reading, false prophecy making, sell another book to pad your fat ass ways.
Fuck you all.
God is the spirit of Life.
You cannot serve two Masters.
You serve life, and seek to preserve it, and make a blessed thing for future generations to inherit, or you stand against the very being who called it all into being.
Fucking hypocrites.

This little volume puts forth clearly the principles and methods of oxygen and other types of inhalation treatment.
The introductory chapters are concerned with respiratory anatomy and physiology and with a brief review of the mechanisms of gaseous exchange between pulmonary alveoli and blood and between blood and body tissues.
The various respiratory and cardiac diseases are taken up by chapters; the different methods by which these entities produce anoxia are explained. The technique of oxygen administration and details of the use of adjuvant measures such as bronchodilators and antibiotic aerosols are fully discussed in connection with each particular entity. Numerous simple color illustrations clarify the pathophysiology of anoxia in these diseases and show the mechanism of relief by inhalation treatment.
Dangers of oxygen therapy in emphysema and other chronic anoxic states are stressed. A description of inhalation apparatus and its use and a brief note on the relief of

Despite the big titles he held and the grand awards he won, Temple University law professor Edward Ohlbaum was at heart a trial lawyer and teacher, equally comfortable in front of a jury or a classroom.
An expert on evidence, an advocate for the American justice system, a defender of children's rights, and the author of three books, Mr. Ohlbaum, 64, died Thursday, March 13, after battling kidney cancer. He kept his medical condition private and continued working until the day before he died.
He spent nearly 30 years on the Temple law faculty, during which he conceived, built, and sustained a trial advocacy program that has drawn national accolades.

OGUNQUIT — A Massachusetts man died Saturday morning after losing his footing while walking on rocks along the beach.
Police are not officially releasing the name of the man pending notification of his family.
They say the 57-year-old fell into the water after losing his footing while walking along the rocks on the Marginal Way around 7:30 a.m. Saturday. Sgt. Matt Buttrick said the man was visiting Ogunquit with who police were told is his husband.
Buttrick said police and fire officials attempted to resuscitate the man on scene and he was transported to York Hospital.
Police believe the man simply lost his footing, said Buttrick adding that there are not believed to be any extenuating circumstances that led to his death.

Natalie Portman Announces New Vegan Shoe Collection
Natalie Portman has announced a new line of vegan shoes in conjunction with Te Casan. The shoes are available for pre-order on January 15 and 5% of profits will be going to charity. Natalie, of course, is a longtime vegetarian and has long made it clear that she only sports fashion that does not come from animals.Unfortunately that's all the info that has been released. Hopefully we'll see prices and the actual products soon. As much as I don't normally care about shoes, I'm actually pretty curious about these. Maybe it's because I spent much of my high school and college years praying that Natalie and I would run off and get married. Or at least meet. Natalie, if you're reading this I just want you to know that I'm officially over you. I'm 100% committed to Kristen Bell now. I'm sorry to break it to you this way. The good news is that Jack is still interested. Maybe we can go on double-dates or something.- Joel

Veeno Is commenting on a "Blog" being part of PETA? And why do you have to repeat yourself?
Caboose. You think its pathetic? You shouldn't be here. You shouldn't be a part of PETA.
Caboose. If you think it's pathetic then you shouldn't be here you shouldn't be part of PETA.
michele pathetic
Caboose you spend enough time reading and responding to the PETAfiles that you should already have at least a general idea why vegans are opposed to the use of silk! But for the benefit of anyone else reading this who is just beginning to learn about animal rights issues this is the formal answer as to why vegans would not wear anything made from silk "Silk is the fiber that silkworms weave to make cocoons. To obtain silk distributors boil the worms alive inside their cocoons. Anyone who has ever seen worms startle when their dark homes are uncovered must acknowledge that worms are sensate they produce endorphins and have a physical response to pain."
michele SO?
Caboose because it comes from silkworms.
why not silk?
K what can they be made of and are they comfortable?
I found a fantastic "patent" look pump from Sears in Canada in September you don't have to spend a lot of $$$ to get nonleather shoes! Ann I know what you mean about telling salespeople that you don't wear leather I had stupified looks from a salesperson when I was trying to find a nonsilk tie. She just could not understand what I was asking like she couldn't believe that such a thing even existed. She was too busy to help but fortunately when I went back another day I easily found a whole section that had polyester versions that looked just like the silk ties. again for a lot less $$$
This is exciting news! It's great to hear there will be more fashionable choices in vegan wear. I haven't worn clothing made from animal products in years but that doesn't mean I don't like to shop and stay up on the trends it just makes shopping more difficult. When I tell a shoe salesperson I don't wear leather they look at me like I'm from another planet. Many people haven't stopped wearing leather because they think it's too difficult to find attractive and comfortable nonleather shoes so the more nonleather alternatives out there the better. Hopefully she has a fashionable black pump which I've been trying to find everywhere!
Yippee!! I love finding new animal friendly products! Cant wait to see the shoes
Caboose It's not hard to find or make a vegan shoe…
OOO vinyl petroleum
I would have to agree with Monique I find that if I look for vegan shoes at a vegan internet store they are not very fashionable. I prefer to just round up the mall and stores like Target for shoes that say all man made materials. A lot of vinyl stuff is in now so I'm finding a lot of cool shoes for work.
Thank you for the awesome news! I am finding in my transition to cruelty free apparel that "vegan" shoes aren't very fashionable. I decided to just buy what was available but it looks like I will have better choices now! Yay!
she is a real angel her beauty comes from her heart. you are gerat natalie
Michele You dont know what a joke is do ya? What are the shoes made of?
Way to go Natalie! You are a class act all the way. God bless you!
If the shoes are made in China then Natalie Portman is supporting the worst cruelty imaginable to dogs as the chinese view them as an edible aphrodisiac.
I'm back just to find out Joel is back too!! Right on! And many thanks to Natalie!
For anyone not clear on the concept VEGAN shoes mean they do not have any component made from animals. Veganism is not just a diet but is a lifestyle choice. My "vegan" body lotion is not something I drink but it was not tested on animals and it contains no animal byproducts such as lanolin or animal glycerin. Way to go Natalie!
WOWWW That's pretty cool
Joel You arent any Anakin Skywalker so move along No force choking now Vader
A long life and a good happy New Year to Natalie Portman she is an absolute star with a golden heart for the animals! Her beauty shines insideout!!!!!!
VEGAN shoes? you eat them now?

I saw a unit in a static display on the Marvell stand at CES. I asked around and was told GTS will be selling the unit in February. They will not be taking pre-orders and will only start accepting orders once they have stock. It appears they have learn't their lesson.
The unit is physically larger than the Sheeva and Guru's with large vents on the top. Therefore, I don't see heat dispersing to be a problem with this unit. The SP/DIF is of interest to me and I really like the option of changing out the SD card.

Re: GuruPlug Fan
on: October 04, 2010, 10:29:27 AM
What I have found is most of the heat is coming from the CPU. The heat coming off this is heating the ethernet connectors. Therefore the fan is pushing the heat out of the box rather than heating the connectors. If we leave the cover off and have a heat sink,I think this will help. I believe the original units came with a heat sink and not a fan. Perhaps you can ask Globalscale to supply an original unit to you.

Re: GuruPlug Fan

I thought about that, but I still need to push the heat out of the case. The plastic case acts more as a insulator and keeps the heat in. I think if we had a metal case the heat sink would work.

I am frustrated with Globalscale not answering on the source code for the Guru Plug. I have found that what I downloaded from the web seems to be different then what is actually shipping. I have asked if I could have a link to the correct sources.

GuruPlug Fan
on: September 30, 2010, 09:44:30 AM
I thought what the heck, I opened up my Guru Server Plus and invalidated the warranty. I have been looking at ways to make the fan run quieter. Therefore I have been putting resistors between the power source and the fan to make it run slower.
Currently I am using a 10 ohm value (I think) and it's running slower and other people including myself have noticed the difference in noise level.
Has anyone apart from me been brave enough to try this? I have been running my unit for about a day and it's warmer but not nearly as hot without the fan..

Re: Globalscale order process - CAVEAT EMPTOR
on: August 29, 2010, 05:29:09 PM
I have been in the industry a lot longer than most. I am use to buying Development Kits, all are flawed in their own ways. And, because you normally are wanting one to write applications for a new IC invariable there are delays.
This is where most are missing the point. You must expect things not to be 100% when you are using a Dev Kit. The Sheeva and Guru's are no better or worse than those I have used from Intel, TI and ST. If you want an appliance then pay double and buy one. Ask any IC manufacturer, they are usually very lucky to sell more than 100 in a year. I believe last year alone there was more than 15 k sold. Therefore imagine how many issues are going to be reported.
I think Globalscale is not perfect and do a rotten job of keeping us the public informed! I had similar issue with the likes on Intel and their "Atom Dev Kit". Maybe it has made me more forgiving with Globalscale.

Globalscale is not perfect by a long way!
From my experience they have always made the refunds quickly when requested. They are not the first to release product with issues (look at the Iphone). They conceded there was a problem and then stopped shipping product until the problem is fixed. Obviously they have their work cut out to try and catch up. Let's see how they perform in the next few months now the problem has been fixed.

Re: Warning: GlobalScale are Thieves
on: July 29, 2010, 05:11:51 PM
I did a pre-order in February and only recently got my unit. Sure it took a long time to deliver, but I got my unit plus the free Jtag. I agree communication both email, and navigating their phone system is a nightmare.
I know some of my class mates canceled, and whilst Global advised them, on the same day that a reverse transaction was going through, it took virtually a week before the transaction registered in their Bank Account. This I think you cannot blame Global, but more of a case of the Banks.
I was not happy to learn about the heat issue, but I've so far had no problem because I'm only using a 10/100 ethernet connection.
Reading between the lines, the delays have been caused by Global's Engineers working on the fix. Probably they stopped producing units until a fix was evident. There is no point to continue to produce suspect product.
If they were thieves they wouldn't have given refunds. I will probably ask for an upgrade kit, but at the moment I'm happy with what I've got.

After playing around with it a bit, I had trouble getting the unit to Client mode. After reading the instructions on page 8 of Quick Start Guide I was rearing to go.
After reading your posts on the forum I decided to play around with the Ethernet connections. Noticed straight away that the unit was running a lot hotter and after around 8 minutes it rebooted by itself. I thought dam my unit is faulty. I then called Globalscale. But was advised by reception person to email support. After 3 days I got a reply acknowledging there is a problem with the power supply, and, either I can ship the unit back for exchange or wait till they have the new version of power supplies available in June. Since I am mainly using the WiFi I have decided to wait till the new power supply is available.
I am obviously disappointed after waiting since February for my unit to have something happening like this. I am a gadget person so know the pitfalls in getting the latest and greatest inventions fresh off the production line. My first Ipod had problems with freezing, lets not talk too much about Windows Vista, and my new Ipad will not connect with my Apple router. At least I can say Globalscale acknowledge there is a problem and they have a plan in place to rectify the problem.

I would say you're not far off. I work for one of Marvell's distributors. They haven't even given us a spec sheet yet for the Armanda CPU and proto samples are hard to come by. So min of 12 weeks to produce the IC after protos approved. Then designer must design and integrate their design which is about 18-20 weeks, so we are looking at probably Christmas.

CATFISH CAFE--BEST RESTAURANT IN ARKANSASUpdated: 7 days ago
I was a visitor from Tennessee. Came to this little restaurant in Jonesboro... The absolute best decision I have ever made. I would eat there everyday if I did not live so far away... The frog legs are the best in Northeast Arkansas, which are hand breaded and fried golden brown....and the Broiled Catfish that is Cajun seasoned served on a bed of rice... and this is not half of the menu, great stuff for all.... this stuff is absolutely delicious folks. The service is absolutely outstanding, rivaling great restaurants such as cracker barrel, ruby tuesdays, and o'charleys... Very family friendly environment... I recommend Catfish Cafe for locals and tourists, a must visit for all.

Video: Burglars break into deputy's home, fight him on lawn
A neighbor's surveillance tape captured the altercation
By PoliceOne Staff
SAN ANTONIO — Three burglars broke into a West Bexar County home Sunday and were fought off by its owner — who happened to be a sheriff's deputy.
A neighbor's surveillance video shows a fight ensue on the deputy's lawn just after 10 am. In the video, the deputy, who works at the Bexar County Detention Center, wrestles with one of the suspects.
"There's several moves that our officers are trained to do. It appears that he's doing that," Lou Antu, of the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, said.
The rest of the group eventually joined the struggle with the officer and fled the scene, but were arrested a short while later, WOAI reported. Identified as Frank Davila Jr., Preston Sluder, and Marissa Tolentino, all three were charged with burglary and could face additional charges as the case is investigated.
"We're just fortunate enough that the officer did not get seriously injured," Antu said.

Skip to comments.Best Scotch for about $100-200 per bottle?
Posted on 07/07/2014 10:01:11 PM PDT by KJC1
I am not a Scotch or whiskey drinker; I am asking FReepers on behalf of a friend of mine.
He used to drink Johnnie Walker Black, and insists they changed something to make it inferior. The price on Black has since gone down.
Then, he switched to Gold and sometimes Blue. He thinks the Gold has gone downhill, and the "jury" is still out on the quality of the Blue.
I'd like to buy him a bottle of something nice that will make him happy. But, as I said above, I'm not a Scotch drinker so I'd be an ineffective judge of what is good or not, especially keeping in mind his most recent taste is for Gold and Blue.
My friend is a Vietnam Vet and retired Police Sergeant and does not get online much, and I thought FR would be a great place for suggestions.
If he used to like Johnnie Walker Gold and Blue, what would most likely fit the bill?
Usquabach is my personal favorite, worth every penny if you can find it that is.
Back when I were enjoying the odd glass or two, I favored Bullet, Knob Creek, and Islay.
They are not the pricey end of the range, but they all share a smokey flavor. Almost earthy in the case of Islay.
He should switch to good bourbon.
You can get Old English Furniture Polish for about $3 a bottle. Tastes pretty much the same.
17 year, or better 25(?) year Macallan. Then again, who is to say what would taste "the best" to another person, with different tastes?
Thank you for the suggestion. I'll put that on my list to look up.
have fun!
Best post all night!
The big division in Scotches is single malt versus blended. I am not the biggest Scotch drinker but I have gone through phases where I liked it a fair amount. I absolutely agree that JW Black, in particular, ain't what it used to be.
If your purpose is to spend an exhorbitant amount of money for a bottle of booze, I think if it were me I would buy an assortment of single malt scotches, Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Laphroiag (sp?) and a dozen or so others. All of those are quite tasty. Personally, I believe that if you spend 5x as much as those excellent SM scotches, you are paying a load of money for 1.5% "better" scotch.
However, just realize that most scotch drinkers will not like blended after they try single.
Here's a scotch-hunting secret: Trader Joes' single malt scotch is probably bought "as available" from various single-malt makers and everyone I know who is a SM fan likes it.
Yes, Johnnie Walker is highly rated for a common scotch.
If you want to be exotic, 21 yr old Glenlevit would also be quite nice.
He may also enjoy a single malt scotch such as Laphroaig.
To me, the single malts tasted like iodine, haha.
Is that the 55 gallon size?
Get a good bottle of Maker's Mark.
The Whisky he's been drinking is all "Blended Scotch". a whole different world from The Single Malts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
most of them are 12 years old and run in the $50. dollar range.
it's a good place to start. Pick one Laddie,
Oh aye, my personal favorite is Talisker (which is made on the Isle of Skye), although I also love Lagavulin and Laphroig, both of which come from the Isle of Islay.
I have tasted this Whiskey and it is easily one of the best I have ever tasted. It is pricey and the cost will go up with the age of the whiskey.
Good input, thank you.
The single malt versus blended info is particularly helpful. My friend is not into the snobby thing at all, he is set in his ways and knows what he likes and doesn't like. Your post was very helpful, thank you.
Thank you for the links.
Balvannie Doublewood. The Macallans.
With Bremner Wafers, cream cheese, and a smear of caviar.
For a good selection, go to Cavabenitowhisky.com
I happened on this store in Andorra. They have 928 single malts to choose from. And a few others.
Oban ...
Johnnie Walker has no business calling itself scotch.
There is a rarer 18 year edition that sells for somewhere from $100 to $150.
Oban is truly special. It is a single malt so it has a more complex flavor than a blended scotch like Johnnie Walker. It's milder than some of the smokier single malts and tastes more refined like a Glenlivet or Glenfiddich, but to my taste buds is miles above in overall flavor.
Look at reviews around the web and you will see that Oban is highly regarded by all scotch lovers.
Very good single malts can be had for well under $100. There is a wide array of flavors. I like the peaty Islays, but enjoy most decent scotches. There is not a pretentious bone in my body. Cutty Sark is paint stripper in a bottle. Bitter, crappy stuff with a turpentine aftertaste. A decent scotch will not ever taste like Cutty Crap.
Hell, I'll even drink an Irish whiskey if offered.
Andorra? Believe it or not I've been there, lol. I will check out your link, but I would imagine the shipping charges would be significant. Thanks for the link!
I love you want to spend that money on your friend...however at the end of the day he should be grateful for the grift not how much you spent
You're welcome. The thing about scotch is that dark smoky flavor, and it's very slightly hallucinogenic from all the weird stuff in it. The blended types are meant to be uniform bottle-to-bottle, so that "oddness" is kind of blended out. On purpose.
And IMO it's not especially snobby...you don't have to be snobby to like a good, not even a super-duper steak over a hot dog. It's simply a much richer experience by virtually any measure. And a nice single malt (almost all of them are) is only a little more expensive than a JW Red or similar semi-premium brand. JW Blue is pretty good, but silly expensive; I'd rather have Glenlivet any day. Cheap scotch, on the other hand, is truly vile swill.
Thanks for the info on Oban.
One thing my friend did NOT like was Johnnie Walker Double Black. If I remember correctly it was the extra peaty/smoky flavor that turned him off.
Balvenie 12 yr or Balvenie 14yr Caribbean.
All the suggestions I would have made, have been made. Just thought I'd say I concur with everything in your profile! FReegards!
Also found out all Cuban cigars imported into Europe come through Andorra.
Castro made a deal with them. Something to do with taxes.
Did you see the sporting goods store by the river across from the Novotel?
Owner has shot about every game animal in the world and has them stuffed and on display.
I would buy your friend a selection of the miniature bottles of single-malt; let him sample, and he can decide which he likes best, while letting him know that he can expect a special gift of a full-size bottle of his favorite. Among the miniatures, you should include Talisker, Cardhu, and Caol Ila, as they are the base single malts of Johnnie Walker Black, and likely to be among the ones he likes best. Don't forget Laphroaig (deep, smoky, peaty), Glenmorangie, Glenlivet, Cragganmore, Glenfiddich, Oban, and Lagavulin, to round up a nice 10 selections. If none of these make his day, there are many, many more that he could sample; the above choices are amongst the best this world offers.
If you do go with a single malt, then stick with those from the Highland region like Oban, Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, etc. These scotches have milder tastes that more closely approximate the blended whiskeys.
Stay away from Islay scotches like Lagavulin and Laphroaig. I personally love these scotches, but they have very smoky and unique tastes. Some even leave a hint of iodine in the mouth. Truly an acquired taste.
There are many who will recommend Talisker. I have tasted Talisker and was not impressed, but it could just be my taste buds. It tasted a little flat to me the couple of times I tried it. Oban, Glenlivet, and Glenfiddich have much more rounded and full tastes that are much more satifying IMHO.
18 YO Macallan (~$160-200). I carted a bottle up to the top of White mountain :-) Only had a sip there though, couple shots and I'd be a mummy up there.
Bulleit is spectacular bourbon for the price too, if he's partial to that.
Heck, get him the 12 year old Macallan. It's only $49 and is nothing to sneeze at. 18 is a little extravagant, unless the guy's your lifelong best friend, imo.
Don't think you can get the 25 year old Macallan for less than $200. But if you find some, let me know! Worth every penny. Like drinking silk.
We are both grateful for each other's friendship, which is forever. I just want to do something nice for him, which he doesn't expect or even anticipate. He's an old-school American, a dying breed. Anything I can do to make him happy I will do; it's not about the money, but I don't want to buy him something he will not enjoy.
It's nice to know that one of the best liquor stores in California agrees with me on Oban.
Laphroaig is my personal choice and was my first introduction to single malt as a boy of 14 or 15 at my dad and uncles lumber mill after work. It is decidedly a characteristic flavor, which one either loves or hates. I have had many kinds of single malts, but it is still my pallets preference. You may need to hover with a 10 or maybe a 15 year to stay under the 100 dollar mark. Perhaps even a bottle of Laphroaig Quarter Cask is doable, depending upon the aging. At the end of the day a friend is a friend any 10 year plus single malt may be fine and welcomed.
Laphroaig has been the only whisky to carry the Royal Warrant of the Prince of Wales (the 15-year-old is reportedly his favourite scotch whisky), which was awarded in person during a visit to the distillery in 1994
Tell him the ability to taste declines with age and nothing is going to bring that back.
There... I was waiting for someone to say it.
Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughtful answer. I'll have to look it up, plus how to pronounce "Laphroaig".
Thanks again, much appreciated!
Some time ago I lived in Lafayette, LA. There is a restaurant there called Charley G's. The proprietor of the place was a connoisseur of cigars and alcoholic beverages. Every 3 months he sponsored an invitation only dinner where a particular type of alcoholic beverage was featured along with fine cigars to compliment.
I recall the dinner where Scotch was the beverage featured. There was a Scottish gentleman on hand who had been involved with exporting Scotch for many years. He served about 7 Scotch whiskeys, a different one to compliment each course. He told the story of each Scotch before serving. One of them, I can't recall the distillery, he noted was from one of the oldest in Scotland. He recalled that when Victoria was queen, she had gone out in the countryside to look at properties for a new retreat. She stopped at a property adjacent to the distillery estate and was looking at the property with her entourage. The proprietor of the estate saw the royal party and invited the queen to sample the whiskey. They proceeded to the cellars and sampled whiskey to the point that the queen was sloshed and unable to stand on her own. Anyway, a great story along with a great Scotch makes for a memorable evening.
I like smooth single-malts such as Glenmorangie, Glenlivet, and Glenfiddich, at least 12 y.o., 15 y.o. is better. Beyond that , it gets pretty pricey. I don't care for the smoky, peaty Scotches. To me. they taste like burnt rubber.
Thank you all for your responses. Sincerely appreciated.
There are many good suggestions in this thread, and they are accurate in distinguishing between the Englishman's blended Scotch whisky and the Scotsman's single malt Scotch whisky. However, there is one inescapable problem with all of the possible recommendations. No one but your friend can know what is pleasing to his palate. Only your friend can determine what is good and what tastes like cat pee. That said, there is a solution to the problem.
There are many opportunities to attend Scotch whisky nosings and tastings. Some corporations even go so far as to pay for their employees to attend these events to educate their palates about what does and does not appeal to themselves and their clients. You may find it to be most pleasing for your friend if you were to arrange for him and both of you to attend one of these events to ultimately choose one or more than one of these whiskies to enjoy in future years.
Search the Internet for Scotch whisky tastings and see the sites such as the following example:
P.S. Among my favorites are the very different Dallas Dhu and Laphroaig. Different tastes for different moods.
Thanks Lads,
Will try the Oban. You still can't get me to try to choke down a haggis again, arggh.

By U.S. Army Combined Arms CenterFebruary 22, 2011
Fort Leavenworth, KS - The Army's most important Field Manuals (FMs) for operations and training have been updated to better reflect some of the key tenets for how the Army will train and operate today and in the future.
Change 1 to FM 3-0, Operations, and FM 7-0 Training Units and Developing Leaders for Full Spectrum Operations, will be introduced at the Association of the U. S. Army (AUSA) Winter Symposium & Exposition at the Greater Fort Lauderdale / Broward County Convention Center, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, February 23 - 25.
Change 1 to FM 3-0 was developed by the Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate (CADD), a major subordinate activity under the Combined Arms Center (CAC), at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. FM 3-0 is one of the Army's two capstone doctrinal publications; the other is FM 1, The Army.
Change 1 to FM 3-0 reinforces the primary role of commanders in military operations by emphasizing mission command, the means by which Army commanders command and control their forces. It reflects how the human dimension has taken precedence over technology, with emphasis on initiative and responsibility at all levels of command.
Change 1 to FM 3-0 reflects an evolved understanding after nine years of persistent conflict and its impact on how the Army operates. Key changes include: replacing command and control with mission command as both a philosophy and a warfighting function; and replacing the five Army information tasks with Inform and Influence and Cyber/Electromagnetic activities. Other changes include adding hybrid threats to the discussion of the operational environment, describing security force assistance within stability operations, and adding chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high yield explosives (CBRNE) consequence management as a task within civil support.
Supporting the concepts of Change 1 to FM 3-0 is FM 7-0. The updated FM 7-0 is the latest version of the keystone doctrine for Army training. Developed by the Combined Arms Center-Training's Collective Training Directorate, it explains the "what" of training modular, brigade-centric units through the ARFORGEN process. Following the U.S. Army's year 2015 direction for doctrine, this new version of the training manual, is:
- Smaller (38 pages vs. 100 pages for the 2008 version) by focusing on major enduring concepts and reinforcing the use of mission command in training-providing what to do but not saying how to do it.
- Available online through the Army Training Network (https://atn.army.mil). The web-based format links FM 7-0 concepts to "how to" resources such as videos, sample standing operating procedures, best practices and examples of the FM 7-0 concepts-much of which is provided by units.
- Accessible through apps such as the Army Training Network 2GO (ATN2GO), a stand-alone app that downloads ATN content you choose to your iPhone, iPad, Android or other mobile device. ATN2GO also is available at https://atn.army.mil.
Other significant changes in the new FM 7-0 include: integrating leader development as an integral component of unit training management; adopting a single Full-Spectrum Operations (FSO) Mission Essential Task List (METL) that replaces the Core and Directed METL constructs; focusing on training to FSO proficiency against complex hybrid threats in a Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, Multinational environment; emphasizing the importance of becoming highly proficient in a few tasks and then operationally adapting to new missions; and integrating the concepts of mission command, combined arms maneuver, and wide area security into FSO METL training.
The new FM 3-0 can be accessed at http://usacac.army.mil/CAC2/index.asp and the new web-based FM 7-0 will be available starting February 23 at https://atn.army.mil.
