Ivonne Suarez of Worcester is still waiting for the Kindle Fire she ordered from HSN on Dec. 14.
Her expectation was that the gift she selected for her sister-in-law would arrive by Christmas Eve. It didn't.
"I'm frustrated," Ms. Suarez said. "The item got shipped, but I'm still waiting for my item."
Ms. Suarez said she received an email on Dec. 19 saying the item was en route. Since then, she said she has been on hold with customer service "forever."
She waited as long as possible, hoping for a last-minute Christmas miracle, but on Tuesday, with the clock ticking, she headed to Best Buy to purchase another Kindle Fire.
"Which really sucks to have to go to the store and stand in lines," she said Thursday.
Ms. Suarez works with homeless families in the city, and because of unpredictable work schedules, said she appreciates the convenience of shopping online.
"I understand (the meaning of) guaranteed," she said. "I trusted the company and I've shipped through UPS before. It's the holidays though, and you can't say you're going to ship an item and not ship. It's terrible because not everyone can afford to buy a replacement item. Now I have to ship it back when it comes -—it's a mess."
UPS and FedEx experienced shipping problems before Christmas, and delays were blamed on poor weather earlier this week in parts of the country and overloaded systems. The holiday shopping period this year was shorter than usual, more buying was done online and Americans' tendency to wait until the last second to shop probably didn't help either.
Neither company said how many packages were delayed, but noted it was a small share of overall holiday shipments. While the bulk of consumers' holiday spending remains at brick-and-mortar stores, shopping online is increasingly popular and outstripping spending growth in stores at the mall.
"UPS experienced heavy holiday volume and is making every effort to get packages to their destination as quickly as possible," the company said in a tweet Thursday. UPS did not make pickups or deliveries Wednesday.
UPS resumed normally scheduled service Thursday.
"We apologize that our customers did not receive their packages on Christmas," said Natalie Godwin, a spokeswoman for United Parcel Service Inc.
Some FedEx customers were able to pick up packages Christmas Day at their local FedEx Express centers.
"We're sorry that there could be delays and we're contacting affected customers who have shipments available for pickup," said Scott Fiedler, a spokesman for FedEx Corp.
Some readers who posted comments on the Telegram & Gazette Facebook page defended the delivery drivers.
"If you know somebody who works for UPS this time of the year you will know they are working from 8 am til 8 pm and beyond," the poster said. "UPS and FedEx are delivery companies not God. they cannot control the weather."
Others were critical of shoppers who wait until the last minute to place delivery orders.
"Christmas comes the same time every year... anyone who is upset about gifts not being on time have only one person to blame... themselves," the unsympathetic poster wrote.
UPS and FedEx customers were, however, not without their defenders, some of whom praised the companies for giving their employees the day off, but criticized the corporations for making promises they were unable to keep.
"Christmas isn't a new concept maybe the companies should make adjustments for when they know they will be busy... I know when I'm busy at work I have to step it up to make sure everyone's happy no excuses and I don't get extra help. It's my job and it's what I have to do. Bottom line," one writer noted.
Lisa Shumski of Marlboro ordered a gift for her youngest granddaughter from Target, and had expected FedEx to deliver it in time for Christmas. The package was picked up on Dec. 19 in Carson, Calif., and made it as far as Bloomington, Calif., the next day. FedEx has not sent her any further updates, but tracking information indicated the package was to be delivered Thursday.
Ms. Shumski said early Thursday that she did not see how that would be possible because the package appeared to still be in California. However, when she checked back Thursday evening, she learned it was actually in Wilmington, Conn., and scheduled to reach her doorstep today.
Heavy spending in the final days of the mostly lackluster season sent sales up 3.5 percent between Nov. 1 and Tuesday, according to MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, which tracks payments but doesn't give dollar figures.
Online shopping led the uptick, with spending up 10 percent to $38.91 billion between Nov. 2 and Sunday, research firm comScore said.
''We always have last-minute Charlies, but this year even people who normally complete shopping earlier completed shopping later,'' said Marshal Cohen, chief retail analyst at market research firm NPD Group.
Justin Londagin and his wife ordered their 7-year-old son a jersey featuring Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks from NFL's website on Dec. 19. They paid $12.95 extra for two-day shipping to get it to their Augusta, Kan., home before Christmas, but it didn't arrive in time. ''We had to get creative and wrote him a note from Santa to tell him that the jersey fell out of the sleigh and Santa will get it to him as soon as he could,'' he said.
Amazon is offering customers with delayed shipments a refund on their shipping charges and $20 toward a future purchase. And other retailers such as Macy's said they are looking into the situation.
The last-minute surge this year solidifies the increasing popularity of online shopping, which accounts for about 10 percent of sales during the last three months of the year. It also underscores the challenges that companies face delivering on the experience, particularly during the holiday shopping season that runs from the beginning of November through December.
Analysts say FedEx and UPS typically work closely with big retailers to get a sense of the volume of packages they'll handle during peak times like the holiday season. Extra flights, trucks and seasonal workers can be added if the projections are large.
But this year, David Vernon, a senior research analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, said weather played a role. The early December ice storms in Dallas could have hurt operations, he said, and packages can start to accumulate. And that got compounded by a late surge in shipments, he said.
''Clearly, as a group, (they) underestimated the demand for Internet retailing during the holidays,'' Vernon said.
Another problem was the growing popularity of retailers offering free shipping. Amazon, for one, has a two-day free shipping offer that comes with its $79 annual Prime membership. The company said in the third week of December alone, more than 1 million people signed up for the membership.
''Frankly the right hand wasn't talking to the left,'' said Forrester analyst Sucharita Mulpuru. ''The marketing teams of a lot of Web retailers (offering free shipping) were not talking to the operations and supply chain teams.''
''The central pillar of their business is a perception of reliability with their customers,'' said Jeremy Robinson-Leon, CEO of Group Gordon, a corporate and crisis PR firm. This year's snafus ''just really erodes trust among customers.''
The resulting delayed shipments could be a problem for shippers. UPS and FedEx did not quantify how many packages were affected.

When Apple launched the iPad 2, consumers were giddy about the addition of a front-facing and rear camera on the device, something that had been missing on the original iPad. Only, the quality that either camera produced wasn't very good, leaving many hoping for more from the third rendition of the iPad. Apple, not one to disappoint its customers, did, in fact, upgrade the iPad's camera.
Only, in my opinion, it upgraded the wrong one.
The new iPad sports an iSight rear camera that is on par with the camera found on the iPhone 4. As I've demonstrated, it's far and away better than the rear camera found on Apple's iPad 2.
Read: New iPad Review.
I think I shot a grand total of five photos and one video on my iPad 2. Mostly because of the poor quality, but also because I was shooting photos and video on a tablet. It's not easy.
In fact, it's pretty darn awkward.
And personally, I have no use for it. I have a DSLR camera at home, I have two smartphones that have decent enough cameras. I also realize that while I can't find a way to fit it into my double life as an amateur photographer, others can.
It's nice for family events where the large screen comes in handy. Or for quickly shooting a photo or video of you a niece or nephew when something better isn't available.
But that still doesn't make it practical.
What is practical is the iPad's front-facing camera, the camera that Apple didn't upgrade with the new third-generation iPad.
Long have I wanted to FaceTime on my iPad to chat with family members who I don't see very often. Friends that are across the country. Colleagues that live in Ohio. (Hi, Josh.)
Same deal with Skype.
And I'll have the same kind of aspirations when Google finally releases a Google+ app that allows me to use my iPad with Google Hangouts.
Problem is, the camera is terrible. So bad, in fact, that I uninstalled Skype and stopped using FaceTime.
Am I being picky?
You bet. But that's because I just paid $530 for an iPad, a device that, in my cases, has replaced my laptop.
So, this is my plea to Apple. Instead of upgrading the camera that I've seen used in public somewhere around 10 times, why not upgrade the camera that people will benefit from most.
iPad owners like myself would appreciate it.

After coming out of Beta toward the end of December, avast! Free Mobile Security has gained much attention. These guys are offering everything the other anti-virus/security apps bring to the table and then some. Complete with root features (yes, you heard that right), this is the fullest security app we have ever used. All for a price everyone can afford – free.
We've recently been talking about the idea of anti-virus apps in the Android ecosystem. A Googler has even gone into detail, mentioning that "virus companies are playing on your fears to try to sell you BS protection software for Android, RIM and iOS." He then goes on to call them charlatans and scammers.
There are two main types of dangers, though: malware/phishing (rare, but possible) and physically loosing your device. Android holds a huge market and may become a main target soon. This is why Windows users are at more danger than other PC operating systems.
Owning an Android smartphone comes with great responsibilities. These gadgets are not only nice and expensive, but their value extends to its power. These are very powerful devices and usually hold information that should not fall into the wrong hands, whether it be physically or virtually. One of the apps that best protects you happens to be avast! Mobile Security, so let's take a look at its features.
Virus Protection
While not the most exciting (because all other competing apps offer it), this is the main function of the avast! app. There are certain apps or files that will put your device and private information at risk. There are many who believe smart app-shopping can get rid of such worries.
It is definitely good to read app reviews, stick to official app stores (avoid piracy), revise the permissions and make sure you do not download a "fake" app. These practices will put you in a safe position, but many users are not always that attentive. Even if they are, there's always a small risk.
A bit of extra protection has never harmed anyone (and it isn't really a battery hog). Avast! Mobile Security will spot any app or file that is potentially dangerous. This app allows you to run full scans on both your phone and your microSD card. If it happens to find a dangerous app/file, a notification will alert you and give you the option to delete it.
It is also important to note that avast! is very proud of its virus protection software. They attest to the fact that this is no simple black-list virus protection. Avast! looks into every file and app, searching deep into its backbone for any dangerous coding.
The avast! software also checks every app that is installed on your device, informing you if it is secure before you ever use it. This happens right at the moment of installation (just like Lookout and some other competitors). I have never ran into any virus/malware on my device, but we saw a good demonstration straight from the avast! team. It works as advertised.
Privacy Advisor
This is a very simple and straight-forward feature and can also be very helpful. Privacy Advisor looks into each app, letting you know which have access to potentially dangerous permissions. It organizes them by permission category.
After accessing the Privacy Advisor window, there will be a list of permissions with a number right next to it. This indicates how many apps have access to the given permission. This includes apps that have access to your location, phone identity info, contacts, etc.
After tapping on a permission, it will display all the apps that have access to it. You can see more details by tapping on specific apps. You can access the system info, force close it, and read what each permission allows the application to do. It's simple and organized and may help you spot which apps have access to things that they probably should not.

Apple was quick on the draw to put forth their request for an injunction on eight Samsung phones following their recent court victory and the original schedule would have seen them bring those requests to bear sometime in September.
Fortunately for Samsung, Judge Lucy Koh wasn't kidding when she said her dance card was going to be pretty full following the multi-week trial. So due to her schedule and the sheer volume of motions and requests coming out of Samsung and Apple following the verdict she has issued a revised court schedule which won't have the parties getting back together to discuss any injunctions until December 6th.
Another tiny ray of sunshine for Samsung is that the one hearing they do still get to have is regarding lifting the existing injunction on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. That will come on September 20th and considering that was one of the few devices that was found not to infringe on Apple's patents you have to like their chances.
If that effort is successful Samsung could be left with all of their products on the market through at least a healthy chunk of the holiday buying season and that prospect has to bother Apple at least a little bit. Considering how long in the tooth most of the infringing devices are it's likely that in many cases they wouldn't have been on sale beyond this holiday season regardless. Additionally for the limited number of devices that infringed only on software patents this could be the extra time Samsung needs to deliver an update to correct the infringing behavior.
Unless somehow Samsung does manage to get this ruling thrown out this is still a cut and dry victory for Apple and I'm sure Samsung will be more than happy to take any small measure of success right about now.

Additional charges against trooper charged with rape possible
DA alluded to third victim
A state trooper charged with two counts of rape plead not guilty in court on Monday.
A state trooper charged with two counts of rape plead not guilty in court on Monday.
State police say 32-year-old Trooper Trevor Donah of Plattsburgh was arrested around 4 p.m. Tuesday while off duty and charged with two counts of first-degree rape. Police say the victims were two female acquaintances.
In court, Franklin County District Attorney Derek Champagne alleged Donah could be facing additional charges, alluding to a third victim.
Donah is being held on $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond. Donah is required to wear a GPS tracking device if he makes bail.
Donah was arraigned last week but did not have a lawyer present so he was re-arraigned today.

A father and his son described by prosecutors as members of a gang have received long prison terms for a campaign of attacks and harassment aimed at driving blacks out of a Southern California city.
Santiago Rios, 48, and his son Louis, 22, were sentenced to federal prison terms for conspiring to "cleanse" Azusa of blacks, according to police authorities.
The father, described as a leader of the Azusa 13 street gang, was arrested in 2011 – along with his son and 49 other gang members – on charges that they assaulted blacks and harassed them through such things as spraying racist graffiti, said an article in The Los Angeles Times.
Santiago Rios was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison; his son received a 10-year sentence.
The other 49 gang members were convicted, and all but eight have been sentenced, said the Times.
The newspaper also noted that gang recruits had to attack blacks to earn a place in Azusa 13.
Mexican Mafia leaders have also been behind attacks by local gangs on blacks in other cities in California, the Times reported.

Smooth operators
Kevin Retzer has always had an interest in radio operation.
"Almost any ham will tell you of their fascination with being able to put a piece of steel in the air, connect it to a radio and be able to talk to someone on the other side of the world," he said.
Retzer, a resident of Sloan, is an eight-year member of the Lancaster Amateur Radio Club, which celebrated its 25th anniversary this past month.
So, what is ham radio? Aside from being described as a "friendly, high-tech hobby," the answer is a form of emergency response communication that federal and local governments can use when their systems are down.
Lancaster resident Luke Calianno, one of the five founding members of the club, said ham radio operators have the ability to provide health and safety assistance during times of need.
"One of the things I point out to people when I'm trying to explain the hobby is that after Hurricane Katrina, ham radio operators were the first ones to have a reliable communication system going in and out of the area," said Calianno, who is a florist. "We are totally self-sufficient."
Calianno added that the club helped residents send more than 60 "health and welfare radiograms" to loved ones who were taking refuge in shelters after the hurricane hit. It also aided town officials during the October Storm in 2006 when all other communication systems were inoperable.
The radio club's public service component also reaches out to larger public events, working behind the scenes to ensure that the health and safety of community members are the highest priority.
Steve Piotrowski, vice president of the LARC, said that each year, approximately 75 ham radio operators support events such as the "Ride for Roswell," where they work behind the scenes with Roswell volunteers to monitor, control and dispatch safety communications for more than 7,400 bicyclists who break their bikes or may be too tired to finish the race.
Piotrowski, a resident of Clarence Center, retired from the Amherst Police Department in 2011 and now works as a consultant for Erie County in emergency communications.
He said that before the Internet and the affordability of long-distance telephone calls, when someone was overseas or stationed in the military, ham radio was one of the ways people could get messages back to their families.
Piotrowski added that anyone interested in joining the club must take an entry-level exam to obtain the initial license, as the radio operation follows the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission. People don't have to be engineers but should have a basic understanding of technology and electronics and how the two work, he said.
There are three classes of licensing: Technical, General and Extra. Extra Class licenses are authorized to operate on all frequencies allocated to the amateur service.
"As you get a higher license, you are able to use more radio channels and frequencies and get into the shortwave bands," Piotrowski said. "That's what allows you to use long-distance communications that travel overseas."
And with each license issued, so is a call sign. Retzer, a retired police K-9 instructor, is known as K9KVN on the radio waves. He added that call signs are one aspect of ham radio that has evolved during the last quarter century. It's typical for a ham in the Western New York area to include the number 2.
"The number in the call sign generally told you what part of the country the ham was from," Retzer said. "Now that has changed because society has become so mobile. People are moving to Florida and Texas, and they obviously take their call sign along, too."
Exams are offered bimonthly at the LARC's clubhouse on Pavement Road in Lancaster. As a benefit, the first year's membership is free to individuals who choose to take the test at that location.
Various accounts detail the origin of the word "ham" to describe amateur radio operators, but according to the LARC website, it refers to a name used early on by frustrated commercial operators when competing with the amateurs for time and signal supremacy.
The club, which has 94 members from throughout Western New York, comprises men and women of various occupations, including truck drivers, ministers, engineers, physicians and funeral directors, all drawn together by the common hobby.
"It's given me a whole new group of friends with all different interests," said Karl Hutchinson, W2KTH, an Amherst resident and flight test consultant. "It has broadened my horizons, and it's a case of not always associating with people who do exactly the same thing you do."
Joseph Gearhart — WV2NY — the club's president, agreed. Gearhart, a Sloan resident, is no stranger to delivering correspondence. The Postal Service worker said giving back to the community and the country is very satisfying.
"You enjoy doing what little part you can," he said. "I never imagined a radio club could do anything like that. When everything else fails, at least you can pass messages that can give people peace of mind. That's always a good feeling."

Mike Mamacos - a modest, humble man, yet giant of South African rock climbing history, passed away on Friday. Mike will be remembered for the incredible leads that he made when he opened such great routes as Cableway Crag, Jacob's Ladder and North West Frontal on Du Toit's Peak.
Mike's main climbing partners were Boot Butler and Rusty Baillie - great climbers themselves. When Mike couldn't get the cash together Rusty made the first South African ascent of the North Face of the Eiger with Dougal Haston around 1960.
In 1949 Mike made the first ascent of the North West Frontal on Du Toit's Peak with Boot Butler. Mike led every pitch and he did this onsight wearing tennis tackies, the rope tied around his waist, without pitons and with a total of three slings and three karabiners. I promise you, that is tough.
On three occasions South Africa has had a climber at the leading edge in the world. The first was George Londt in the 1920s (of Klein Winterhoek Frontal fame etc), the second was Mike Mamacos in 1949 with North West Frontal, and the third was Andy de Klerk in the 1980s and 90s.
Above all, Mike was a wonderful, wonderful man. Maybe if you're in Cape Town you will want to do one of Mike's great routes and crack a nod to a special man.
Deepest sympathies to Kimon, Mico and the family.
Mike Mamacos

Price: $2000.00
TRIBE Pawnee
FROM History of the Indian Tribes of North America,
Folio edition.
CONDITION Lithograph with original hand color.
Sheet size: 18.5 x 13.25 inches.
Mckenney and Hall's hand colored lithographs remain some of the most beautiful records of Native Americans ever produced in the nineteenth century. Oil paintings were originally done as formal studio portraits of tribal leaders and members of their parties who came to Washington DC to sign treaties. Thomas McKenney was the head of the Department of War, and oversaw the growing collection of portraits. His expenditures on the portrait gallery were not looked upon favorably in Washington, and he eventually lost his appointment. His next endeavor was to have the series of oil portraits published in folio form as hand colored lithographs, available by subscription. Most of the original paintings were burned in a tragic fire at the Smithsonian in 1865, so these lithographs have become an important historic record of tribal leaders.
Suggested Framing: - Gold Leaf French Mat: additional $650

Software Development and Professional Practice reveals how to design and code great software. What factors do you take into account? What makes a good design? What methods and processes are out there for designing software? Is designing small programs different than designing large ones? How can you tell a good design from a bad one? You'll learn the principles of good software design, and how to turn those principles back into great code. Software Development and Professional Practice is also about code constructionahow to write great programs and make them work. What, you say? You've already written eight gazillion programs! Of course I know how to write code! Well, in this book you'll re-examine what you already do, and you'll investigate ways to improve. Using the Java language, you'll look deeply into coding standards, debugging, unit testing, modularity, and other characteristics of good programs. You'll also talk about reading code. How do you read code? What makes a program readable? Can good, readable code replace documentation? How much documentation do you really need? This book introduces you to software engineeringathe application of engineering principles to the development of software. What are these engineering principles? First, all engineering efforts follow a defined process. So, you'll be spending a bit of time talking about how you run a software development project and the different phases of a project. Secondly, all engineering work has a basis in the application of science and mathematics to real-world problems. And so does software development! You'll therefore take the time to examine how to design and implement programs that solve specific problems. Finally, this book is also about human-computer interaction and user interface design issues. A poor user interface can ruin any desire to actually use a program; in this book, you'll figure out why and how to avoid those errors. Software Development and Professional Practice covers many of the topics described for the ACM Computing Curricula 2001 course C292c Software Development and Professional Practice. It is designed to be both a textbook and a manual for the working professional. What youall learn How to design and code great software What methods and processes are available to help you design great software How to apply software engineering principles to your daily coding practice How to tell a good design from a bad one? Understand the characteristics of good programs How to construct professional standard code that you can be proud to show Understand all about coding standards, and apply them to real Java coding Explore debugging, unit testing and modularity All about object-oriented programming (OOP) design principles and great coding How to apply the principles you've learned to specific and real-world coding problems A companion to the ACM Computing Curricular 2001 source C202c Who this book is for Software Development and Professional Practice is designed to be both a textbook and a manual for the working professional programmer, and any student of programming who wants to learn the art of the trade. This book assumes you know some Java, enough to read its examples at least, and that you've already done some programming. Now you want to write great code! This book covers many of the topics described for the ACM Computing Curricula 2001 course C292c Software Development and Professional Practice, and will be a great companion to anyone studying this course.

Drexel Hill's Micah "Wing Kong" Collins is upset that he can't compete in Wing Bowl 17 (Jan. 30 at Wachovia Center) because he's a pro eater and this year's event is open only to amateurs. "I genuinely respect they want to bring it back to Philly, but there are a few local, terrific pro eaters," says Collins, referring to past Wing Bowl contestants Eric "Steakbellie" Livingston and "Humble" Bob Shoudt, whom he feels should have a chance to compete.
Collins will attend the event alongside first-timer Richie "Beefcake Cheesecake" Souder, whom he is training.
Wing Kong, a systems administrator by day, predicts that with all amateurs on the bill, the highest number of wings eaten this year "won't even be half" of California's three-time champ Joey Chestnut's record of 241 set last year. Collins is certain that several contestants will suffer reversals (that's what puking is called in competitive eating) and therefore will be disqualified, due to the strict "You heave, you leave," policy.
Meanwhile, the initial plan for Wing Bowl 17 was to hold the event at the Spectrum for one last time since the iconic venue will close this year, 610 WIP's Angelo Cataldi told us yesterday.
"That's really where the event took off a decade ago," he says. "We were going to lose a few thousand seats, but we would gain so much more in pure nostalgia." Going back to the neighborhoods and excluding pros was developed in conjunction with the Spectrum throwback plan.
"To our shock, we had totally outgrown the building," he said. "Many of the floats that have become so much a part of Wing Bowl would not fit in the Spectrum runways. Also disheartening, Cataldi says, is that there are no permanent video screens at the Spectrum. "Video is especially important in Wing Bowl to focus in on the attributes of our lovely Wingettes and to highlight that magical moment when a contestant grows ill."

Consists of one part Vodka, one part Four Loko poured into a shot glass and taken straight to the face at a consistent pace to efficiently reach the point of being hammered. When hammered under the influence of B.P.'s the combination of the Four Loko's energizing kick and Vodkas' ability to get the job done often results in a belligerent state of mind.

Zero Motorcycles Speeds Away from 11 kW (125cc) Licence
LONDON, (22nd November 2012) – Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in the electric motorcycle industry, recently announced its 2013 model line which features an average power increase of 99%. This means, that all 2013 models are more powerful (the top models Zero S and DS have a peak power 54 PS/40 kW) than the current 2012 models and they all have a continuous power of above 11 kW. This means, that they don't fall into the A1/11 kW/125cc licence category anymore. All 2012 Zero models (and earlier) however fall into the A1 licence category as no model has a continuous power output of more than 11 kW, even though the top models Zero S and DS have a peak motor power of 20 kW.
People who already have a full car licence may also ride 2012 model year Zero motorcycles after having successfully completed a CBT course (compulsory basic training). A CBT normally costs not more than £100 - £150 and is usually done in a single day. Once completed, a certificate (called DL196) will be issued which is valid for two years (in which time people can take a full motorcycle theory and practical test or renew their CBT training).
Some of the 2012 model year electric motorcycles are still available at Zero dealerships. Therefore, this is the last chance to benefit from A1/11 kW/125cc licence regulation with Zero motorcycles.

Drambuie is an extraordinary blend of aged Scotch whisky, heather honey, spices and herbs. It is a unique spirit that offers drinkers an extraordinary taste experience. Drambuie is a bright, deep golden colour, with the aromas of aged malt whisky combined with a mix of floral and herbal overtones and rich honey. The flavour provides a kaleidoscopic taste sensation, a complex arrangement of herbal, spicy, sweet and honey notes. It's voluptuous, mellifluous and full bodied.
Drambuie 15 is a whisky connoisseur's expression of Drambuie drawn from the company's finest selection of 15 Year Old Speyside Malts. Selected for their soft complex fragrance and flavour, the rare Speyside Malts ideally complement and balance the herbs and spicy aromas of Drambuie's famed secret recipe.
With a nose of Drambuie's aromatic citrus spice, fragrant grass and butterscotch notes, Drambuie 15 has a velvet soft mouthfeel with a tang of lemongrass and warming malty notes, berries and heather. A finish of shortbread, fresh herbs and the unmistakable long afterglow of the Drambuie elixir results in a refined, drier expression, perfect for sipping and savouring either neat or over ice.
The Jacobite Collection is the rarest and most valuable member of the House of Drambuie. Only 150 presentation boxes have been released. The collection contains a hand-blown crystal decanter, which holds the rare blend of precious 45-year-old whiskies, infused with Drambuie's secret recipe of herbs and spices, every detail of the design has been created to capture the craft and heritage at the heart of Drambuie.
The solid wood presentation box contains a hand-etched crystal replica of a Spottiswoode Amen glass, with a second large crystal stopper for the decanter. A letter-pressed hand-bound 32-page leather booklet, drafted by whisky writer Ian Buxton, tells the story of the Jacobite rebellion, Drambuie, its antique Jacobite glass collection and the details behind the Collection.
The teardrop lead crystal decanter takes inspiration from a mid-18th century design, with the engraving of the crown motif and intricate decorative scrollwork.
The product contains notes of vanilla, green apples and cut grass, blended with sweet honey and herbal notes, with suggestions of toffee, liquorice, fennel and cardamom. The result is a complex, sophisticated and multi-layered, before a light oaky finish with a gentle herbal glow.

I love a good, fresh brewed cup of dark roast coffee. I have inherited the fine art of coffee making from my mother, who was as German as you can get. I admit, that I'm almost "OCD" about what kind of coffee I drink, and how it's prepared. My precious cup of coffee needs to be freshly ground and brewed, please! I also drink my coffee with half and half creme, and no other substitute works for me. I cannot stand the thought of using skim milk-- the site of "green coffee" isn't appealing to me at all. I'd rather go without drinking coffee if I have to use Coffeemate... especially if it' s powdered. I'm a bit of a coffee purist-- I'm not a fan of flavored coffees. I don't want the flavor of vanilla, or caramel, or raspberry to interfere with my dark roast coffee. Can you tell how much I appreciate a fine cup of coffee?
So, when Lady JayPee, from the food Blog "Eating Etc." posted her recipe for OMG Chocolate Cupcakes with caramel frosting, she got my attention. I have learned that coffee really enhances the depth and flavor of chocolate. You can't really taste the coffee, but it is my favorite combination when I bake.
I love chocolate, but I eat it sparingly. Otherwise, I'd be in big trouble with my bathroom scale. I've been bombarded with Valentine's Day chocolate recipes, but I settled on making this recipe.
I made a little too much of my Blue Mountain coffee, and I did not want to toss it out-- so this was my perfect excuse to bake.
I grew up with Duncan Hines cake mixes and prepared frostings. Nowadays, I cannot fathom baking with either one of these "prefab" products. I admit that I have acquired a lot of baking gadgets, and I feel as though King Arthur Flour knows me by my first name (I so love their website).
Even if you are a beginning baker (I consider myself to be intermediate), this cake recipe is pretty darned fool proof. With experience, I've organized my baking pantry with all of the staples that I need. If I could share some beginner tips, I use the best quality ingredients as possible. I no longer buy cheap dutch baking cocoa, but I splurge and buy a quality Dutch baking cocoa (at either Trader Joe's or Whole Foods). I bring my ingredients to room temperature-- butter, eggs and I buy the best pure vanilla. Parchment paper, and my silpat baking mats are my best friends, as is my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer.
I was craving chocolate, and I was in a hurry! I decided that I did not want to spent any extra time into icing cupcakes. I had just purchased a brand new 9X13 non-stick baking pan, so I decided to make a sheet cake. So, I printed the recipe and got started-- I had the cake batter in the oven within 15 minutes, it was that easy a recipe to make.
Now, the caramel frosting took more work. Browning butter can be intimidating to a beginner cook/baker, because it will burn if you don't watch it closely. I've gotten pretty practiced at this because I enjoy using browned butter for pasta dishes and also in baking cookies-- I love the "nutty" taste of it.
Making caramel has been intimidating to me, and it has been a while since I've made caramel flan. So, making the caramel sauce requires that you use care-- if you are not keeping a watchful eye, you can burn the sugar and then you might have to resort to canned frosting (I would not wish that on anyone). I wondered why I had to add water to the amber sugar (I found that the sugar turned crystallized, and finally liquified). Now, I understand! I took Lady JayPee's warning to be extremely careful-- I used an oven glove and poured water into my skillet with care. It was so worth it! The caramel sauce turned out a beautiful amber syrup.
I ended up baking my sheet cake for about 29 minutes. It turned out to be a beautiful dark brown with a wonderful aroma!
My son stood, anxiously, hovering over me (he's 6'3) waiting for me to frost the cake. I couldn't photograph the frosting, because he was totally impatient (he loves cake). It was almost my bedtime, so I ate a small piece. It tasted good, but I wanted to wait until morning to fully enjoy it with a fresh cup of brewed coffee. (Who says you can't eat cake for breakfast?!)So, this morning, I unpacked a setting from my storage. I have several sets of dishes that I inherited from my mother. In honor of my mother's love of coffee, I chose a set of dishes that must be at least 50 years old.
I have to tell you-- this cake is rich and moist and absolutely my favorite chocolate cake recipe, so far! The frosting has more of a browned butter flavor, with a hint of caramel. (Note, I used 4 Tablespoon of the caramel syrup, but I'd still like more of a caramel flavor).
I think that the next time I bake this cake (and I know I will), I'd be tempted to make a 7-minute frosting. This cake is the star of the recipe. It's fantastic!
Please try this recipe-- you won't be sorry that you did.
