Oh well, perhaps my story wasn't worth mentioning.
I wouldn't advise anyone to bother posting a list of their Christmas presents on here come Christmas Day (whatever they get). Our younger members may feel the need to accuse them of "bragging".
Let's hope nobody wins a helicopter ride!!
Jealousy really does ruin the best things in life. Internet forums, friendships and marriages.

Did you just refer to me as one of the younger members? I guess I'm younger than some people. And no, TM, I'm not jealous of you, I'm just a little annoyed by your self-absorbed delusions. My point was that the only logical reason you could have for this thread is to tell people you got a bunch of free stuff (Which for whatever reason you decided to break down into dollar figures) because we can't really give you any ideas on what to do with it that you can't come up with on your own. The thread I would have liked to have seen is a thread asking for suggestions of noble causes that you could give some extra sets that you acquired to, without actually outright saying that you got 600 bucks worth. I'm not sure how this thread has ruined Internet forums, or even marriages. As for friendships, I'm pretty sure I've never talked to you before, so I think we're good. Your story could be worth posting, but there's definitely a better way than "Oh gosh, what am I to do with all this spare LEGO?" Surely as a living, breathing entity on Earth you can see how this could be regarded as a way to promote one's own ego.

Well my oldest brother has lived in Japan for about 8 yrs. Every once in a while I send a box of goodies that you can only get in North America and/or are extremely expensive to buy there. So wait a few weeks and then email him saying thank you thank you thank you thank you! Then ask him what he wants from home that he can't get there. Bottle of Pims maybe?

If it was me on the receiving end of this very generous gift, I'd keep a few of the sets for myself (after all the giver wanted me to have them, right ?) and give the rest to a
'good cause' - a children's hospital or hospice, children's home /orphanage, or other local charity. That way I could help spread my friend's generosity even further & know that I was helping out people less fortunate than myself in the coming season of good will.

He obviously put some thought into getting those for you and imagine how he would feel if he found out you sold them. I would be gutted. If it was me. I would just build them and have fun. If you are truly desperate to remove some then maybe give 1 of each away to someone else who enjoys Lego.

I respect your morals, that guilt is something I feel too sometimes. I like the idea of giving the money to charity, more than one of each set does seem a bit ott if you don't feel the need for them. I'd happily pay you for a republic gunship, the entertainer, argos, and toys' r' us have all sold out, and it's doing my head in.

I think it was worth mentioning. If there was no jealousy and everyone stopped trying to get under your skin while making it look like it's your fault maybe this thread wouldn't be that close to locking.
Anyway, what with the battle packs coming out, I'd say keep the larties and one, maybe both AT-TEs, and do what you want with the V-19s.
I would just return both V-19s and get $100(pardon the alternate termage) to get ten battle packs with.
You'll have plenty of AT-TE gunners and a plentiful supply of CW clones.

Well, like I said(or at least meant to say), he should really do what he wants with it. I'm just offering a suggestion to him.
He could sell them on eBay and maybe get a profit, or maybe keep them under wraps and bring em' out when they're rare, or build them for display quality!
There's a whole host of things to do, and it all depends on what HE wants.

It's not like we're asking really deep questions here, is it? This isn't exactly "are we alone in the universe," right? Do what makes you happy...whether that be keeping it, donating it, selling it, re-gifting it or baking it in a shepherd's pie.

Uniball Posca PC-5M (PC5M8A) 8 Assorted Colour Bundle In Case
The Uniball Posca PC-5M Pen is a bullet tip which produces a line approximately 1.8mm thick.
Bright, bold, opaque color: Posca felt-tip markers contain a special water-based pigment ink that can be used on almost any surface: plastic, metal, wood, glass, plaster, canvas and more. Professional quality yet versatile, fun, and easy-to-use – perfect for all your design and arts and crafts needs… Just press the tip against a hard surface and let your creative journey begin!
Posca's ink formula is non-toxic, lightfast and waterproof, and has no unpleasant odor. It doesn't bleed through paper (unlike alcohol-based marker ink) and can even be scraped off hard, non-porous surfaces like glass after application. The body of the marker contains a small ball designed to ensure the ink is evenly mixed, and the tips can be rinsed clean with water.
Not surprisingly, because of their versatility, Posca markers, have garnered a lot of positive attention from artist and painters worldwide. Although, with fame comes many questions…
While the Posca user community have a wealth of knowledge and we have helped put together a list of tips that have come from the Posca website and associated forums.
Q. Are Posca markers permanent / acrylic / water based?
A. POSCAs are water-based pigment paint markers which can write on any surface. Paint is permanent on porous surfaces, and removable on non-porous surfaces such as glass
Q. Can children use them?
A. POSCAs are water-based markers. They are odourless and totally safe for children to use. However, as they are quite technical, we recommend them for children over 5 years old.
Q. Can I use Posca to paint on skin?
A. POSCA can easily be cleaned off the skin and is non-toxic. However, it is not a cosmetic and has not been tested against cosmetic or dermatology standards. The manufacturer will therefore not be responsible for possible reactions on the skin if used incorrectly.
Q. Is Posca Toxic?
A. POSCA's paint is water-based, without solvent and odourless.
In fact, beekeepers use it to identify the queen in beehives! A colour corresponds to each year which enables them to determine the insect's age.
Q. Is Posca refillable?
A. You cannot refill POSCA. Some users do reuse paint from one marker to another, in particular to mix colours. Mitsubishi Pencil Company has however not designed it for that use.
Q. What is the drying time?
A. The drying time is extremely quick. Generally, the paint dries quicker on porous surfaces than on smooth ones. In any case, wait a few minutes and the paint will be dry.
Q. How can I make the colour permanent?
A. POSCA's paint is permanent on porous surfaces. You can further optimize its adherence by following one of the next three steps: apply a varnish , bake in the oven (ceramic…) or iron (fabrics). For a precise information about each material, please consult the Posca Markers Official Testing Chart
Q. What should I do when the tip has dried?
A. Don't panic if you have lost the cap and the tip has completely dried. Thanks to the piston and valve mechanism, you can flow paint once again by priming the POSCA marker again.
In case the tip is extremely dry, you can take it out simply by pulling and rinse it with water.
Q. Are tips replaceable?
A. The tips of the following references can be replaced when dirty or worn: POSCA PC-1M, PC-3M, PC-5M, PC-7M, PC-8K and PC-17K.
Tips are also reversible.
Q. What are Posca's paint characteristics?
The paint is both opaque and fluid, smooth and dense with a wide coverage. It can be mixed, diluted and overlaid. The rendering is similar to that of acrylic.
Q. Can you use Posca on fabrics?
A. Posca can write on any type of fabric and is resistant to washing once it has been ironed. Of course, the resistance will depends on the type of fabric. To fix colors, iron the fabric on the reverse side, using no steam.
To optimize adherence, wash the fabric before customising with POSCA. On delicate fabrics, we suggest you start drawing outlines and then colour progressively in order to avoid bleeding.
Q. Can you use Posca on rocks?
Posca works wonderful on clays, stones and rocks, cement, etc. Its adherence is perfect and the line definition is fine. You can apply a varnish or bake in the oven (depending on materials) to optimize its adherence and resistance. On smooth or shiny surfaces, make small circular and regular movements when painting to achieve a neat result.
Q. Can you use Posca on glass?
Posca can be either permanent or non-permanent on glass. If you want to have it permanent, just bake it in the oven. Otherwise, you can always clean it off with a damp cloth.
Q. How long would it take to dry on untreated wood?
A. It absorbs quickly into untreated wood, should be mostly dry after about 5 minutes, it was good after 5 on smooth non absorbent surfaces
Q. Do these work well on wood and painted wood?
A. Yes, be sure to sand and primer first for best results. My son paints custom wooden skateboards with these. It's like using acrylic paints
Q. Would these work well on Gunpla? Or any other plastic model kit?
A. I am pretty sure they will. I used them on a guitar pick guard which is plastic. But never played with the guitar/guard on so cannot tell you for sure!
Q. Does it work on foam soles of shoes?
A. It is OK. but, I think disappear by friction gradually.
Q. I'm wanting to paint like some things on my walls. Will they work for walls or not?
A. I used these to paint on one of my furniture pieces and it came out really nice so I would say it would work on walls just the same .
Q. Do they work well on metals?
A. So far, yes they do! I'm using them with acrylics on sheet metal . and its a blast !
Q. How thin are the extra fine tip vs the fine tip? I'm not sure which to buy.
A. I found that the extra fine tip clogs more and is so close to fine tip I just use that one- reg fine tip

What does it mean when you dream about a ticket?
Having a ticket gives us a right to enter everything from a theater to an airplane. So tickets in a dream could represent a sense of entitlement. A dream could also be drawing on the meaning of a ticket idiom, such as a "meal ticket," a "big ticket" item, or a "one-way ticket."

|For immediate release
The Federal Reserve Board on Thursday approved a final rule that postpones the effective date of the recent amendments to Regulation C (Home Mortgage Disclosure Act) from January 1, 2003, to January 1, 2004.
On February 15, 2002, the Board published in the Federal Register amendments to Regulation C effective for data collected beginning January 1, 2003, and solicited comment on several related issues with a comment period that closed on April 12. Financial institutions and their trade associations requested a postponement of the effective date until January 1, 2004, on the grounds that a 2003 deadline does not afford institutions adequate time to take the steps necessary to ensure full compliance with the new rules. Consumer and community organizations generally opposed postponement of the effective date.
The Board has weighed the financial institutions' claims and underlying assumptions against public policy benefits of collecting the new data as soon as possible. The Board believes that some Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) reporters, especially the largest ones, will not be able to fully implement the new rules by January 1, 2003, without jeopardizing the quality and usefulness of the data and incurring substantial additional implementation costs that could be avoided by a postponement.
The Board is, however, adopting an interim amendment to Regulation C, effective January 1, 2003, mandating the use of 2000 census data in HMDA reporting. Given the many changes that have occurred since the 1990 census, use of 2000 census tracts and demographics will produce more accurate and useful data in the HMDA disclosure statements and aggregate reports.
The Board's notice is attached.

It's not as though the fans are screaming for a new right fielder or shortstop. A lineup of Ellsbury, Crawford, Pedroia, Gonzalez, Youkilis, Ortiz, Salty, Scutaro, and RF TBA will put up some numbers. But relying on bottom of the rotation mediocrity and reliever converts recalls the phrase from the "Lords of Finance", PRIVATE INTERESTS VERSUS PUBLIC RESPONSIBILITIES. Local fans view the franchise like a public utility. And the utility's high bills (ticket prices) and perceived CAPEX parsimony isn't sitting well with the Hot Stove gone cold.

Bridges Binge - Alcoholic Are An Or Hope Of A Drinker If you are wondering how to make a fake ID at home, then look no further. This article will help you with the basics of how you can create your new fake ID at home.
In recent years the process of ID forgery has become quite simple. So simple in fact that anyone willing can do it at home with just little or no assistance. All you need is Internet access, money and free time.Free A And Rubber Royalty Photo Over Invalid Stamp Image Picture Red Background Stock White 35808367 Image
First of all, you should decide which way to choose: an easy or a complicated one. Let us note that the easiest option would be simply to buyFan Classifying Fake Connie News one!
Bridges Binge - Alcoholic Are An Or Hope Of A Drinker Bridges Binge - Alcoholic Are An Or Hope Of A Drinker In the first case all you have to do is:Fall News The Why Fake Explained Some People - Express Victim To Financial
That's it. Your new ID is ready.
You'll need to choose a template for your new card. Some states have identification cards that are easier to reproduce than others. Some state's IDs look like credit cards. While others use laminated cards. That's why it is best to try and make a card for a state that still uses laminated copies. Plus they are the easiest to reproduce.
Luckily, to get a template, you'll just need to spend some time looking online until you find the perfect ID to replicate. Once you find one, you'll need to use Photoshop or a program like it to change the information and picture. Some folks recommend you only change the picture but for the sake of keeping things consistent we suggest changing all the relevant information. You never know when a bouncer will question you with the facts on your fake ID. Not being able to answer would be a dead giveaway you're faking it.
Bridges Binge - Alcoholic Are An Or Hope Of A Drinker Make sure that when you are changing the information to make a fake ID card, that you use a font similar to what was on the card to begin with. Now is not the time to get creative. If you are not sure which font to use, and you are changing everything then I suggest using Arial or Helvetica font. These fonts are plain and will not grab attention.
Bridges Binge - Alcoholic Are An Or Hope Of A Drinker Once you've printed and laminated your card at home, it is time to go out and test how it works. If it didn't pass the test, then try again after you've made another one. That's how easy it is to learn how to make a fake ID at home.
In the second case you'll have to make a template yourself which means spending much time in Photoshop, trying, remaking, deleting, trying again till you finally get what you want. The result in this case is two faced. You'll have great experience of working in Photoshop on the one hand and a high quality fake ID templates on the other. To make this task easier look through the Photoshop user's guide. There are also websites providing information on how to use different Photoshop elements.
Whatever you choose, mind that the photo you are going to embed into the future fake ID should be a high quality one. You should also try the Internet for websites that practice generating Fake IDs numbers.
Don't forget that any ID is double-sided. So you should make the back side too. For this you may add a black bar on the white background and type some information about the restrictions and other information they usually put there.
Now that you've finished all editing procedures you should print your template. Before printing a fair copy print a draft variant on white paper to see if your template looks all right and is of the necessary size. If you are satisfied with it, you will need special high quality photo paper or Teslin (a fake ID made of Teslin looks like the real one made of PVC). To make your fake ID look like a real one you should laminate it. A 10 millimeters thick laminating pouch will be just fine. You can also choose among glossy or matte laminating pouches or those that come with magnetic strips.
And one more thing here: if you are going to take making fake IDs professionally, you should purchase a good laminator.
One more way of making a fake ID is to consult someone who is a professional in this field. Remember, you are not the first and more so not the only one asking how to make a fake ID. There are so many people looking for an answer! What you should realize is that even if you find an existing and perfect fake ID template, you still have to learn basic Photoshop skills. Otherwise, you'll not be able to alter that template and insert all the necessary information in short time. It might take from weeks to months or even years depending on your learning abilities. Who knows, maybe by that time you won't even need it.
Still, if you have free time and nothing else to do, why not give it a try? But if you are in a hurry and need a high quality product, save yourself a hassle - order your perfect ID at KingOfFakes! With such a sensitive matter, knowing where and how to get a fake ID is a big advantage.

Note: When using a PSS Shaft Seal as a rudder seal you may opt to plug the hose barb fitting. Please indicate in the "Note To PYI" text field on the check out page that you would like this plugged.
The PSS Shaft Seal is the #1 selling marine mechanical seal worldwide and is installed as standard equipment by many of the worlds most reputable boat builders and boat yards. The PSS Shaft Seal is also recognized as the premiere retrofit (aftermarket) seal on the world market. Boat builders and boat yards recognize the advantages and value of installing the PSS as it eliminates the maintenance, constant adjustment & cost associated with traditional packing type glands. Aside from these benefits, the PSS Shaft Seal helps to eliminate water in the bilge (100% water tight) & wear to the propeller shaft.
1. Two nitrile o-rings seal the stainless steel rotor to the shaft and will not experience wear.
2. A primary set screw and a backup set screw (2 sets) are used to secure the stainless steel rotor to the shaft.
3. A seal is created between the two flat surfaces of the carbon stator and the stainless steel rotor.
4. Water is fed into the PSS Shaft Seal for cooling/lubricating the seal faces on high speed vessels.
5. The stationary carbon stator is attached to the nitrile bellow, which is attached to the stern tube (shaft log).
The PSS stainless steel rotor is slid down the shaft and is secured to the shaft with set screws at 90° for maximum holding power. Precision tolerances are maintained by computer controlled lathes. The faces have a number 9 micro finish and are perpendicular to the bore to prevent run-out as the collar rotates. The carbon graphite stator will polish the face of the rotor during the first few minutes of operation. The stainless steel rotor should not need to be replaced under normal operating conditions. The stainless steel rotor used on the PSS Type A Shaft Seal is made from 316L stainless steel.
The high density, resin impregnated carbon/graphite stator is a composite that is first mixed, molded and then formed under pressure. The blanks are then baked, machined and lapped. The face of our carbon is finished to a flatness of 4 helium light bands (measured .000044" of variation over entire lapped surface). The grade of carbon used in the PSS has an operating temperature over 500° Fahrenheit (+260° Celsius), and cannot melt if the seal runs dry, unlike a rubber lip seal or plastic face seal. The high density of the carbon greatly increases the longevity and wear resistance. Several commercial vessels have recorded over 40,000 (over 4-1/2 years of continuous operation) engine hours on the same, original components. The carbon should not need to be replaced under normal operating conditions.
The PSS Type A Shaft Seal bellow is made from rubber (Nitrile), and has a temperature rating of -25°F to +225°F (-31°C to +107°C). Nitrile is known for its resistance to weathering. Nitrile rubber is exceptionally resistant to oils and non-polar solvents. It also offers good gas impermeability, abrasion resistance, and better thermal stability than most general purpose elastomers.
For high speed vessels it is required that a positive water supply be plumbed to the PSS Shaft Seal for the purpose of lubricating and cooling the seal faces. There are many sources of water supply, review the PSS Shaft Seal Installation Instructions for more information and note all plumbing must follow the standards and practices of proper boat plumbing. In most cases a slow speed boat that does not have a bearing the shaft log does not require positive water feed and can simply be "vented". Ideally the vent line will be run at least 2-3 feet above the water line and is close to the center line as possible to ensure the vent hose is never below the water line, even if the boat heels. Review the PSS Shaft Seal Installation Instructions for more details on venting the seal.
Thanks for the prompt service. Got back in the water and the seal is amazing.
When running in reverse, water entering the shaft log can spray into the engine compartment through the nipple on top of the dripless shaft seal stator. All units now include this nipple for power boats to inject water (usually from their raw water pumps) to cool the shaft. A sailboat engine runs at much lower RPMs and doesn't need water cooling. To solve this issue, I used a solution posted here by another customer and recommended by PSY. I attached a hose from the stator nipple to a compression release fitting (like the one used on a radiator). The cost is about $12USD. I mounted the device above the waterline, using a piece of PVC pipe sitting in a plastic mount I found at a hardware store. (The fitting sits next to my exhaust water vented loop that prevents seawater backflow into the engine.) Without the compression release fitting, the open nipple on the stator could spray seawater into the engine compartment.
Trouble free order and shipping.
On a positive note;
Cheaper USPS shipping available which makes a huge difference when shipping overseas.
The original PYI PSS shaft seal was installed 15 years ago and still looks pristine! I am replacing it while my Pearson 28-2 is in the boatyard for bottom paint. I am also having the cutlass bearing replaced as well as having a new R&D Flexible coupler installed. The PYI shaft seal and R&D coupler are only being replaced because I feel they have exceeded their recommended life and not because routine inspection has shown any problems. These are great products!

The only two women in the top six on "The Voice" could very well be the last two singers left standing to battle for the title, if CeeLo Green's prediction Monday proves correct. If the coaches' reactions to the night's performances by the top six were any indication, his hunch could be a good one.
(It could help that CeeLo is the closest thing "The Voice" has to an impartial coach, since all his team members have been eliminated already.)
As for why CeeLo's guess might hold water? Look no further than the powerhouse performances by Team Christina's Jacquie Lee and Team Adam's Tessanne Chin on Monday night.
Adam Levine — whose team still boasted three members, more than any of his rival coaches' — tasked his resident diva (minus the attitude) Tessanne Chin with Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," which he hoped she, with her Jamaican background and reggae roots, would connect with personally.
"Jamaica is a country of extremes," she said. "That's what I love about this song," she added, admitting that she was daunted by the idea of tackling such a classic anthem. But her emotive, crystal-clear belt, accompanied only by an acoustic guitar, more than did it justice, the coaches agreed.
They also reserved plenty of praise for her full-on pop performance of Katy Perry's hit "Unconditionally."
"You are a world-class vocalist, and that's what I think people should talk about," Blake Shelton told her, saying that he wished that received more attention than her national origin and her national pride. "I haven't seen anything quite like you on this show. It's amazing."
Her competitor from Team Christina, Jacquie Lee, 12 years her junior, also delivered jaw-dropping performances Monday night, including one of a song by her own coach — "The Voice Within" from Christina's 2002 "Stripped" album. "This song is actually one of the main reasons I became a vocalist," Jacquie explained, dedicating the song to her coach.
Jacquie gave a performance whose confidence showed she'd taken to heart the song's message of trusting one's own intuition and voice. Afterward, Christina acknowledged just how relevant the message of the song, which she wrote around age 20 based on her experiences navigating the music business, was for the young singer. "I appreciate what you did with that song," Christina told her.
But perhaps the biggest hit of the night was Jacquie's take on Janis Joplin's "Cry Baby" — injecting a song by a notoriously hard-to-top singer with some of Janis' trademark vulnerability and ferocity at the same time. That feat was an even more impressive one given Jacquie's tender age, and complete unfamiliarity with heartbreak.
"It's a hard concept to grasp because I've never been through love," she admitted before taking the stage. But her coach was confident. "You have an intuition about you, and that's why you can sing such soul," Christina told her. "I'm just so grateful that you realize when I second-guess myself," Jacquie confided.
Second-guessing was nowhere evident on-stage, where Jacquie's frenzied rocking out — and mic stand antics — belied the dainty tiara on her head. She closed out the song on her knees, with a wail.
"Who ARE you?!" Carson asked her afterward. "You can't fake that kind of funk. You just can't," he added, before Christina climbed onto the stage alongside them to congratulate Jacquie. "She left her heart on this stage for all of you," Christina proudly told the audience of her charge. And Adam said he shuddered to think what a powerful performance Jacquie might unleash a few years down the road — "if that's you having NOT had your heart broken," he remarked.
But Monday wasn't just a night for "The Voice" season five's lone two ladies. Team Blake's last man standing, bearded soul singer Cole Vosbury, kicked off the night by crooning Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl," before later tackling James Morrison's "Better Man," which he dedicated to his first love.
"If you don't get her back now, something's wrong, man," his coach told him after his performance. "You're showing dimension. You're showing that you can do it all." But Christina said she detected some strain in Cole's voice. "It just sounded a little bit like you've been singing a lot," she said, advising him not sing himself hoarse in rehearsals.
Christina's own Matthew Schuler, meanwhile, had given himself the task Monday of redeeming himself after a lackluster performance last week that had earned him a spot in the bottom three. He first sang One Direction's "Story of My Life," an unusual pick for the indie rocker but one that he made his own with his trademark belt, though he started off shaky and barely audible.
His coach praised his ability to make any song his own, and Adam praised his versatility, even as he admitted that it would be hard for Matthew to top his killer performance of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" earlier in the season.
As far as Blake was concerned, Matthew may have done just that with his other performance Monday, of Percy Sledge's bluesy classic "When a Man Loves a Woman," marking — thanks to Christina's astute assignment — that he'd ventured into such soulful territory. "That was as good as I've ever heard you sing," Blake told Matthew after he finished singing.
The two other members of Team Adam, Will Champlin and James Wolpert, both struggled somewhat with their performances Monday night but still earned the coaches' plaudits.
Will started with the Sam Cooke classic "A Change Is Gonna Come," with an unusual musical arrangement — though the performance seemed stilted, perhaps because of the song's very personal message of racial equality and its significance to the civil rights movement. But despite a few stumbles, Will's piano intro for the performance won over the coaches.
Will later tackled a much less iconic song, the electro-country-pop Avicii song "Hey Brother," a tune Adam readily admitted is "kind of weird." But his performance won Adam over. "Every time I hear you sing I want to know more," he said.
Adam's other team member, James Wolpert, struggled a little bit, too, with his first song of the night. He was singing "Fell in Love with a Girl," after earlier performing a different White Stripes song at the blind auditions, and gave a rendition that sounded remarkably similar to Jack White's, though he did struggle with one part of the song.
Adam acknowledged the flub but praised his performance anyway, as he did James' other performance, of Meat Loaf's '90s hit "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)," a song whose drama he encouraged James to emphasize. "You really can't overdo this," he advised James, and true to his advice, James gave a full-throated performance — despite being under the weather.

I liked Jesse's folk project, The Bear Romantic. He has one of those higher register voices that doesn't irk me--it's strange in an attractive kind of way.

The 2014 Golden Globe nominations are here! And while we're totally unsurprised (but thrilled) by the nominations for "Breaking Bad," Kerry Washington ("Scandal") and James Spader ("The Blacklist"), there were plenty of shockers and gut-wrenching snubs.
Here's E!'s take on the TV side:
1.Tatiana Maslany: It finally happened! Maslany, who plays multiple characters on BBC America's "Orphan Black," was the biggest oversight from the 2013 Emmys, and the 2014 SAG Award nominations. She's doing six times the work, and nailing every single moment of it. If you've seen even a few minutes of her on this addictive series, you know that based on challenge and merit alone, Maslany should win the award for Lead Actress. But for now, we'll just celebrate the long overdue nom finally coming to fruition!
2. Monica Potter: Hang on one sec, we've got something in our eye, and it's called: Tears for the recognition of Potter's incredible, sob-inducing role on NBC's "Parenthood." Going up against Sofia Vergara of "Modern Family," Hayden Panetierre of "Nashville," Jacqueline Bisset of "Dancing on the Edge" and Janet McTeer of "The White Queen," TV's Supporting Actress category is easily one of the most intriguing. And we're pulling for Potter to win. Her portrayal of Christine Braverman is so flawless, we feel like we really actually know Christine, and cry ugly tears when she's not alright.
3. Andy Samberg and "Brooklyn Nine Nine" vs. Amy Poehler and "Parks and Recreation": Easily our favorite inbred competition of the year, Mike Schur's two fantastic comedies are going up against each other, asn Brooklyn scored a surprising nomination for Comedy Series.
4. Josh Charles: Win for Lockhart and Gardner! Anyone who saw the fifth episode of the current season of "The Good Wife" knew Josh Charles was a shoo-in for all the awards. (No one has ever cleared a desk so commandingly!) "The Good Wife's" creative resurgence this season, with epsiodes that have left us leaping out of our seats, has secured it a place as the only network series among the Drama Series contender. And well deserved. (Julianna Margulies got a nod too, in a move that surprirsed absolutely no one.)
5. Michael J Fox: Nice to see him show up here in the Best Comedy Actor category, as his performance on NBC's new comedy "The Michael J Fox Show" has reminded us just how fantastic Fox can be.
6. Taylor Schilling: No series nominations for Netflix's "Orange Is the New Black" or "Arrrested Development," but Taylor Schilling and Jason Bateman scored much-deserved nods as the show's leads. Netflix also scored big with "House of Cards," receiving a nom for Best Drama and Best Actor for Kevin Spacey. A banner year for this new form of TV content.
7. "Masters of Sex": The ratings have not been blockbuster, so the nominations for "Masters of Sex" and its lead Michael Sheen are surely very welcome by Showtime. That said, the omission of Lizzie Caplan is surprising, as she's turning out one of the most riveting performances anywhere on TV this season.
2014 Golden Globes: Full List of Nominees
1. Nick Offerman: Really, Hollywood Foreign Press? How dare you. Anyone who watches "Parks and Recreation" can tell you that Nick Offerman's Ron Swanson is perhaps the greatest comedic role around, his perennial snub makes us want to weep.
2. "Mad Men": Also completely shut out of Wednesday's SAG Award nomintions, it seems "Mad Men" is not what it used to be when it comes to major awards. The latest season, considered by some fans and critics to be uneven at best, might be the former Globes and Emmys heavyweight's undoing. Not a single nomination for Best Drama, or any individual acting categories. Time to pour another scotch, Don Draper.
3. "Game of Thrones" and "The Walking Dead": These cable series might have insanely devout fan followings (and mega ratings), but that doesn't mean the Hollywood Foreign Press will throw either show a bone! Too niche and too gross and too cultish for mainstream viewers' taste, these series were once again shut out of the major categories, including not a single acting nomination for "Game of Thrones." No Peter Dinklage, Globes voters? Really? Have you no soul?
4. Bellamy Young on "Scandal": OK, it was a long shot, but her performance as the most complicated and equally lovable and hateable character on TV had us hoping she might somehow secure a nomination in the supporting category. Globes tosses in everyone from series, movies and miniseries into one itty bitty category, however, so it was hardly a fair fight. Once again, Mellie gets crapped on. And somewhere drunk Mellie is awesomely spinning into some sort of master plan for the greater good.
5: "Veep," "Arrested Development," "Orange Is the New Black": A tough year for comedy! All were shut out thanks to "Brooklyn's" surprise nomination.
6. "Modern Family" Cast: Sofia Vergara was the only cast member to secure an acting nomination. No Ty Burrell or Julie Bowen is pretty shocking!

Thanks, I'm glad you guys appreciate it.
Thanks, I'm glad you guys appreciate it.
I was in Cincinnati the entire day yesterday. I drove by the stadium on three different occasions, twice during the daylight hours and once after dark. The first I heard about Joe's passing was when I logged onto Redszone about three hours ago.
There's not much that I can add to what's already been said, just that this feels like losing part of your family...
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
Well, I think I'm just about done with the sniffles and then I come home and read more of this thread. This is weird. I feel the loss here as much as I have with friends I have lost. I only met Joe a couple times and only spoke to him very briefly on those occasions, yet I feel like I have lost a close friend.
Since Joe passed I have been in Detroit, Toledo, then St. Louis, and then back home tonight. I have been wearing Reds gear since yesterday and people in those cities who saw my shirt or hat have mentioned Joe and how sad they are, people who aren't even from Cincinnati. I never thought about how well known he would have been in other cities, but I heard folks talking about him in Detroit and St. Louis and there was something in the St. Louis paper today as well. I think Joe was the only person who didn't know how much he meant to so many people.
I'm a Miller High Life guy, but me and my Reds fan friends drank Budweiser tonight, and talked about our favorite Joe calls.
I don't know what I'm gonna do without him, to be honest.
I never cry.
The last time I cried was when my Grandfather died a few years ago, but that didn't even happen until I was alone in the church bathroom during his memorial, and nobody knew.
I pretty much feel the same way now.
I'm not angry, or happy........I guess this is that whole "sadness" thing creeping up again.
I don't like it one little bit.
When I heard Marty talking with Mike McConnell about Joe wanting to broadcast from every ballpark, and how he was upset about not making the trip to Safeco field last season.
Forget it. I don't want to think about it again.
We're never gonna hear Joe call a fly ball to "Right, Left Field" again, and I'm not sure how well I can handle that thought.
He had better be elected to that Hall of Fame.

I am someone who normally doesn't get upset when people who i didn't know or never met die. In fact, i find it odd sometimes how upset people get when a celebrity, etc dies.
That didn't apply here, I was truly saddened by Joe's passing. Maybe it is because while I never met joe, I felt like I genuinely knew him. I actually wrote in my blog for the first time in months this morning - I just felt the need to put it down on paper (or LCD screen as the case may be).
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
I'm back from Mass now and there were a handful of parishioners who wore Red to commemorate the old lefthander. One member said her great-aunt missed some family function because she and her friends were up at church saying a rosary for Nuxie.

It's funny how all those inaccuracies that everyone used to talk about when Joe called a game didn't matter anymore.
Those slow and sometimes incorrect calls were always part of the game to me. But then, I grew up with those kind of announcers. Hyper active announcers in baseball especially, make me want to turn the sound down.
All I've seen and heard today were stories about Joe. Joe even broke the Bonds ceiling, I was getting tired of that story, it was depressing. The stories about Nuxhall were up lifting and positive, bringing back good memories and smiles. I hope there's a special service for him, or more importantly I guess...., for us.
A part of me goes with you Joe. Thank you for so much joy in my life. RIP
Let's play two!!!
I wish I could hear the last Star of the Game show that Joe did with Marty. It can't be a copyright issue, as WLW streams the post game show--I know they have a transcript at the Enquirer. I just would love to hear it. Wouldn't WLW be smart to put it up on their site?

When someone cares
something that made me think of this site so foundly. I have found this
addicting. I have told everyone I know about this, from my family to my
husbands family and not to mention our friends. I would love for you to
post this if it would be possible.
When someone cares
it is easier to speak
it is easier to listen
it is easier to play
it is easier to work
when someone cares
it is easier to laugh
- Susan Polis Schutz
I have found that this site has made an impact on many women by reading
your guestbook and your prayer list. I wish I had known about this all
thoses times my husband had to leave me and our children. I hope it does
not bother youthat I would like to help out with this site. I know I
keep giving you my input but I just like to share my thoughts. You have
brought many women and men at peace, not that being away from their
loved ones is any easier but at least now they have somewhere to go and
find contentment for that little time they need it. I just want to thank
you and your wife for all your hard work and effort you have put into
this wonderful site. Please be safe and take care.

"Despite our best efforts, the question of Margaret Thatcher's immigration status remains unresolved. At this stage, there are no immediate plans for further talks, but the situation remains fluid, and both camps remain committed to finding a resolution to this unfortunate matter. In the meantime, Mrs Thatcher will remain in detention at Camp Limbo pending a decision"
Hopes had been high for a positive outcome to the talks, and when Jesus Christ suggested offering 'Dual Citizenship' to the Iron Lady; those hopes appeared well-founded. As part of the plan, Thatcher would have split her time in eternity between Heaven and Hell. The idea was scuppered though after The Lord God intervened and told his second-in-command the idea would…
"Make a mockery of Christianity's entire reward/eternal damnation business-model which has served me well for centuries in a highly-competitive religious marketplace"
The same sentiment seems to be behind The Devils reluctance to allow entry, and despite Thatcher's deeds and reputation on earth. His spokesman told us…
"Whilst we appreciate the idea put forward by Mr Christ was made in all good-faith, it is wholly unacceptable to expect us to allow entry to this woman even on a part-time basis. As the Kingdom of Heaven is well aware, we specialise in punishing residents who display particularly 'challenging behaviour' such as Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin-Laden, and when the time comes, Ant 'n Dec. In this case we are aware that despite her many countless bad deeds; she was known to be reasonably nice to her husband Dennis from time-to-time, and always made sure house-plants were well watered, and as such is not eligible for citizenship"
A much needed way-out may be possible though for both kingdoms following an idea from The Buddha, who is believed to be offering the possibility of having Thatcher re-incarnated instead: as an unemployed miner in 1980's County Durham.
Some believe The Devils failure to keep up-to-date with modern torture techniques, and over-crowding may be the real reasons behind his refusal to accept Margaret Thatcher.

Uncle Julio's - Loudoun
Populairste tags:
Absolutely loved!!!! The Tuna I had was heavenly!!!
My daughter and I always enjoy Uncle Julio's, although it is a bit pricey for us. I did enjoy the shrimp dish I tried - something I haven't noticed on the menu before, with the shrimp served on a bed of squash with corn tortillas and jicama/mango slaw on the side. Since I'm allergic to wheat and watching my weight, it was both tasty and absolutely perfect for me. (I just skipped the tortillas altogether -- really didn't need them because there was plenty of food without them!)
Birthday dinner. Great food as usual and great service
AS usual the food was great but the table location was not. Mgr had closed down a large portion of the restaurant so tables were limited. I was a week night.
Great local favorite. We use Uncle Julio's for events, birthdays, and just fun nights out.
Food always served hot and fresh. Love their skinny margaritas, chips, salsa and guacamole. We usually share the shrimp camarones which are just enough for two.
Food never disappoints. It was a bit loud, but the atmosphere was good. Very friendly staff.
Birthday celebrations
Excellent as always.
Unfortunately we no longer enjoy Uncle Julio's. Service was marginal. The food was okay - fajitas weren't sizzling. The music was too loud. We'll seek out other better mexican restaurants in the area.
Hello Leejay, Thank you for your review and we apologize to hear that the opportunity was missed to provide you with an experience that exceeded expectations. Your feedback is greatly valued, and this has been sent to our teams to further address. We hope for the chance to serve you for an improved experience that is 5-star and memorable in the future. Sincerely, Uncle Julio's
Normally I have great service every time I come here but this time the waitress was not great. She only came to our table a hand full of times and our drinks were mostly empty
We love uncle Julio's but our experience at the one Loudoun location has caused us to not come back. We will travel to Gainesville or Fairfax corner next time. We had to wait 45 mins for our food and items were forgotten when it was delivered out. We watched while people who got seated 20-25 mins after us got their food before us. Very disappointed in this dining day
Hello CheataR, We apologize to hear about your experience as this is not the service standards expected. Our team appreciate the opportunity to improve with the feedback you have provided, and your review has been sent to the appropriate teams to further address and correct. We do hope for the chance to serve you again in the future for a much-improved experience. Thank you, Uncle Julio's
I've been to this restaurant many times. Unfortunately this place hasn't changed. It's pretty much just the same food it's been for years now. I got the taco platter (1 chicken and 2 beef tacos). Nothing special. But to be fair, nothing on the menu is really fantastic. However, my parents love to go to this restaurant because it's close to their condo. I guess if you want easy food with no frills with unlimited chips and salsa, this place is for you.
Hello, Thank you for spending your time with us and we do apologize for the experience had this visit. We are very sorry we didn't meet your expectations and your concerns will be addressed by our teams. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again with a much better outcome. Thank you, Uncle Julio's
Very good overall but the tortilla soup could have been hotter.
Por que es excelente restraurantes y tienen un buen servicio al cliente
The only problems I ever have here is the service. The bartender didn't write down our order or maybe heard something else, but, we didnt get what we ordered. We kept the food that was ordered and it was delicious.
It was nice to sit outside, drinks were good, service was fine, but our food was just meh. I've had the combinations fajitas many times at other locations and this time it didn't compare- weren't sizzling when they came out, peppers and onions were almost raw, the steak and chicken just ok. Just not what I expected compared to the same entree at other Uncle Julio's locations and for the price.
Hello, We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your dining experience. We strive to provide an exceptional meal and want you to leave extremely satisfied. Please let your server know, they will gladly correct the mistake. We hope to get the opportunity to serve you again with a better outcome. Thank you, Uncle Julio's
The table that we were seated at was in the path of the waiters going to the outside patio. One waiter spilled a glass of water right beside us, one waiter's tray brushed the head of one of our guests. The patio door opening and closing caused a breeze that blew in trash on the floor under and near our table. We requested a booth when we made the reservation but a booth was not available when we arrived. We will not be back to this location.
Hello Joey, Thank you for your business. We greatly appreciate your feedback. We are constantly working to develop and improve, and this information is extremely helpful. We are sorry we missed the mark on your visit. Your comments have been forwarded to the appropriate parties. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again. Thank you, Uncle Julio's
The server was excellent
The food was average, margharitas great but pricey and our server was very nice.
Awesome lobster and filet fajitas. A little overpriced but was delicious.
Food was great as usual. Service was fantastic
Excellent service! Wonderful food! We were celebrating my son's birthday and both the server and manager went out of their way to make it a wonderful evening! Thank you, Uncle Julio's! We will be back!
Michelle, thank you...we are thrilled you had a wonderful experience!
The food and service were outstanding.
Love the food! I've been going to Uncle Julio's since they opened their first area store in Reston under the name of Rio Grande.
While they removed the classic Nachos with ground beef/Piccadillo beef from their menu, they always allow me to order it special! I only wish they would include the fresh salsa with it like they used to.
Keep up the good work!
Overpriced and dry would be the best way to describe the food. I get the pricing (Northern VA) but dry chicken fajitas, dry chicken rolled in corn tortillas for enchiladas, dry tamales. I make better mexican food at home. Never had salsa like that, a mild chipotle taste but not very flavorful. The tortilla chips were the best part of the meal.
Hello DanO, We thank you for providing feedback on your recent experience and do apologize that your overall experience did not exceed expectations. Your review has been sent to our team who will further address and ensure all dishes are made to our high-quality standards. We do hope to serve you again in the future for a much improved 5-star experience. Thank you, Uncle Julio's
As a Mexican American I can confirm that The tortillas were legit. Machine made but legit. The carne asada was spot on. Saturday night busy, of course, and the persons that brought out food forgot steak knives so we had to sit with the food in front of us, unable to eat it, for 3-4 minutes. Specialty cocktail was missing crucial garnish, but otherwise was delicious. A little pricey for Mexican but, hey. It *is* One Loudoun. If you're adventurous ask for the special spicy salsa- the one that comes with the chips is crap - maybe good for local tastes but it's the stuff Mexican newborns get in their baby bottles. Ask for the real sauce.
Great spot. Waaay better than the Reston location. Good vibes for the entire family. Server was excellent.
Awesome setting and superior service!
Our server, Carlos, was fantastic! The service and ambience was great! Only thing was the drink was VERY weak and I'm a light weight! Still, overall, GREAT experience.
This had to be the absolute worst meal my group has had in years. From start to finish it was terrible.
Hello Tere, Thank you for your business. We appreciate your review and feedback to develop and improve. We apologize we didn't meet all your expectations. We do hope to get the opportunity to serve you again. Thank you, Uncle Julio's
Good service and good food. Fresh margarita of the day was very tasty. We loved the chocolate piñata!
Food was okay, service was okay. If you're looking for authentically Mexican cuisine, you can do better.
Hello, We apologize we didn't meet your expectations. We hope that you return to give some of our other Uncle Julio menu items a try and to let us make up for your experience. Thank you for dining with us. Uncle Julio's
Dinner with family in from out of town - waitstaff was so accommodating; helped us move to quieter corner and brought food so quickly when order had slight mixup. Highly recommend! Always great food!
It's so loud in the central dining area we asked to be moved to the back. It's too loud for older people to be able to converse.
Hello luv2go, Thank you for your business. We appreciate and value your rating & feedback to develop and enhance your experience. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again. Thank you, Uncle Julio's
We eat at Uncle Julio's often, but this time we had terrible service and the food was not nearly as good as normal. The steak in the fajitas was fatty, the enchiladas were not cooked completely and our server was extremely slow and inattentive. He also stood over us while we were paying the bill, which is always rude for a server. We are not rushing back to this location.
Hello, We appreciate your feedback and apologize to hear that your experience was less than enjoyable and the dining room was not acceptable. We have provided our teams with this information and they will address at the location, we hope we will get the opportunity to serve you again for an improved outcome. Sincerely, Uncle Julio's
This is one our goto restaurants as a family. We went two weeks ago and the fajitas arrived cold (plate not sizzling as usual)— who serves cold fajitas? This visit showed us that service has also gone downhill. We waited and waited for plates to eat our fajitas— no plates. Had to go to kitchen area and get plates ourselves. Manager did come over and we discussed and resolved the situation. We will not be going back for a long time.
Hello Mark, hank you for spending your time with us and do apologize for your experience. We are very sorry we were not able to provide you with an excellent meal on this visit and your concerns are being addressed by the appropriate parties. We do hope to get the opportunity to serve you again with a much better outcome. Thank you, Uncle Julio's
Great food and great service. Overall a very positive experience.
Food was great. A little overpriced but the family continues to come back. Service was great. It way too noisy inside so we ate outside.
Always yummy food! We always enjoy eating at Uncle Julios.

- Chronic urticaria quality of life questionnaire (CU-Q2oL) [ Time Frame: Baseline/week 28 ]The CU-Q2oL is a questionnaire that measures the relative burden of chronic urticaria on subjective well-being. It consists of 23 questions in 3 domains (symptoms, general impairment, difficulties and problems due to urticaria). Patients are asked to respond how much they are troubled by each problem on a 5-point Likert scale (1= not at all to 5= very much). An overall score is calculated and normalized to a scale of 1 to 100.
- Angioedema Quality of Life Score (AE-Q2oL) [ Time Frame: Baseline/week 28 ]The AE-Q2oL is a questionnaire for patients suffering from angioedema. It consists of 29 questions relevant to angioedema and its specific impact on quality of life. Patients are asked to respond how much they are troubled be each problem on a 5-point Likert scale (1= does not apply to 5= very much). An overall score is calculated and a higher score indicates lower quality of life. A negative change score (week 28 score minus baseline score) indicates improvement.
- Weekly Urticaria Score (UAS7) [ Time Frame: Baseline/week 28 ]A cumulative activity score, evaluated in the screening period and throughout the study. The records each evening on a daily basis symptoms of itch and hives into a patient diary. The UAS is a composite score with numeric severity intensity ratings on a scale of 0 - 3 for the number of wheals (hives) and the itch intensity. The UAS7 is the sum of the daily UAS scores over 7 days.
- Use of rescue medication [ Time Frame: Baseline/week 28 ]The intake of sedating anti-histamines as well as the use of corticosteroids will be measured on a daily basis throughout the study and summarized descriptively. The amount and rate of required rescue medication will be summarized and compared inferentially between treatment groups.

What is the Tango Desktop Project?
The Tango Desktop Project exists to create a consistent user experience for free and Open Source software with graphical user interfaces.
The current state of the the desktop...
The free desktop is made up of several different applications: Mozilla Firefox, Evolution, OpenOffice.org, Konqueror, and so forth... Typically, several of these applications are used at the same time on a normal user's desktop.
Currently, as each application has a different toolkit and may belong to different desktop frameworks, there's a good chance that a user's desktop may look and behave in a different way, creating a less than stellar experience.
How will Tango save the day?
While the look and feel of an application is determined by many components the initial work has been done on unifying the look of the icon sets.
Tango defines a standard icon style guidelines that applications or desktop enviroments can adhere to. Work has started on creating a new base icon theme based on a standard icon naming specification. We provide transition utilities to create icon themes for GNOME and KDE desktops in the meantime.
Eventually, the Tango Desktop initiative aims to provide:
- A specified default native look.
- A subsystem to help standardize toolkits on a common look and feel.
- A complete, standard set of application, mimetype, and stock icons to build upon a style guide.
- Cross-desktop humane interface guidelines.
What benefits can users expect?
- Consistency across all the apps on all the desktops.
- One theme to rule theme all, one theme to bind them.
- Nice default look, out of the box.
Who is involved?
We are engineers, artists, and user interface designers. We'd like you to be involved.
Join us in our effort to produce a native Linux look and feel by contributing to the guidelines, improve applications (by making them follow specs, etc.), design artwork, and spread the word.
Interested contributors from Gnome, KDE, and other free and open source projects are all welcome. We invite anyone working on software to follow the specifications defined here, as well as on FreeDesktop.org.

Glen Garioch 12 Year Old Single Malt
Review: Glen Garioch 12 Year Old Single Malt 88/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on November 27, 2011
The Glen Garioch Distillery (pronounced 'Glen Geery') is located in the town of Oldmeldrum, approximately 20 minutes from Aberdeen. It is the Eastern-most distillery in Scotland, in the Valley of Garioch, which is apparently one of the best barley growing regions of Scotland. The distillery was established in 1797.
The Glen Garioch 12 Year Old is a Highland malt which has been blended from stocks of two types of oak cask groups. Spanish Sherry casks are utilized to provide a strong depth of flavour, and American Bourbon casks are used to soften the finished malt. I recently received a sample bottle of the Glen Garioch 12 Year Old from Shiralli Agencies who are the local importers and distributors of Morrison Bowmore Products. (The Glen Garioch Distillery and its brands are owned by Morrison Bowmore.)
In the Bottle: 4.5/5
The Glen Garioch 12 presentation is quite acceptable (To the left is a nice bottle shot (J peg) of the 750 ml bottle presentation). As you can see the bottle is in the typical style of a bar room whisky. It is designed to be easy to hold, easy to pour, and of course easy to store on the bar shelf. The bottle and label are simple but professional. I am pleased that the closure is a high density cork topper which seals the whisky, and gives me that nice satisfying 'pop' when I first open the bottle.
Given the wide range of styles of Scottish Single Malts, I also like that the display box contains tasting notes which allows the consumer some insight into the Single Malt Whisky flavour profile prior to purchase.
In the Glass 8.5/10
The whisky in the glass shows itself as a nice golden amber liquid. When I tilted my glass and gave it a slow swirl I noticed the whisky imparted long slender legs which ran slowly back into whisky. The initial nose from the glass is full of oak spice and honey with some floral (and herbal) tones which lurk in the breezes.
If I close my eyes and sniff the breezes above the glass I can imagine I am in a meadow with bits of heather and sweet-grass growing amongst the other grasses. Clumps of willow lie at the edges of the meadow, and over the nearby hill a few pine trees are sending faint scents into those breezes. I am enjoying the aroma from the glass; although it is sweet and spicy, it is also laid back and relaxing.
In the Mouth 53/60
The Glen Garioch enters the mouth with a combination of oak spiciness, butterscotch toffee, and a complex floral nature full of heather, grassy herbs and wildflowers. I taste impressions of lemon and vanilla, as well as a light marzipan weaving through these currents of flavour. If you let the glass breath for a few minutes, a certain maltiness becomes apparent and the spicy oakiness grows in the glass. I like what I am tasting, and each time I return to the Glen Garioch, I seem to find more nuances to enjoy. There is more complexity in this malt than is apparent at first blush.
In the Throat 13/15
The Glen Garioch 12 has a finish full of light flavourful spice. There is also a nice dab of butterscotch sweetness and a touch of heather. These nuance seem to compliment the 'highland spice' making the whisky easy to sip and easy to enjoy.
The Afterburn 9/10
I like the Glen Garioch 12 Year Single Malt Whisky. It is one of those whiskies which I found I relished a little more each time I sampled it. In fact, I found myself wanting to return to it regularly after my initial series of tastings. The malt is very approachable, yet it carries a certain delicate complexity forward into the glass. It reflects a laid back Highland style which I quite enjoy.
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Recipe
In most of my tasting sessions I enjoyed the Glen Garioch 12 Year Old neat or with just one cube of ice in a rocks glass. (And I suggest you enjoy it that way as well.) However, being particularly thirsty one evening, I decided to enjoy a tall drink in my hot tub while watching the snow come down around me during our first big snowfall of the season. I made a relatively simple bar drink mixing the Glen Garioch with Ginger-ale; but it was so good that I decided to make it my suggested recipe for this whisky.
Highland Malt and Ginger
2 oz Glen Garioch 12 Years Old
Orange Slices
Cracked Ice
Ginger Ale
Fill a Highball Glass with Cracked Ice and one Orange Slice
Add Glen Garioch 12 Year Old Whisky
Fill with Ginger-ale
Garnish with the second Orange slice
Enjoy Responsibly!
As always you may (loosely) interpret the scores I provide as follows:
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

This is an interesting whisky. I got a lot of herbal notes from it, as well as a ton of raisin flavour. Overall I found it a little strange, to be honest. Pretty decent, though.

Masaman Curry seems to be the only kaang praised in the Thai historic royal poem. Cumin, cardamon and clove give this curry strong sensational flavor. But overall it really has a very smooth flavor. Cook with chuck beef or chicken for better flavor. Masman curry is thicky and yummy with steamed rice. Instruction is on the package. Come in 2 packs. Ingredients: Soybean oil, chilli, shallot, garlic, shrimp paste, salt, galanga, coriander seed, cardamon. Weight: 1.76 oz. Product of Thailand.

The proposed El Cabo wind farm, to be built on leased state trust land, would be the largest in New Mexico, said state land commissioner Ray Powell earlier this week.
The project would be built in several phases over the next ten years.
"A new and growing source of income for the state land office is renewable energy leasing, which is expected to be the largest growth area for our commercial resources division," said Powell.
"Today, there are four existing wind energy projects located on state trust lands that are expected to earn more than $50 million over the life of the projects. There are also five pending applications that are projected to earn more than $215 million in future years."
These projects include the 204MW New Mexico Wind Energy Center, comprising 136 1.5MW turbines, and operational since 2003.
Bid applications must be submitted by 13 September to qualify, with a live oral auction due to be held on 19 September at the Torrance County Courthouse.
A 45-year lease for wind project development and transmission will be awarded to the highest qualified bidder.

Multiple sclerosis is a lifelong condition that affects the brain and nerves.
There are many possible symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Common symptoms include tiredness, vision problems and problems with walking or balance.
Multiple sclerosis is caused by your immune system mistakenly attacking the brain and nerves. It's not clear why this happens.
Multiple sclerosis cannot be cured, but medicines and other treatments can help ease some of the symptoms.

Sun Valley (Idaho)
Sun Valley [11] is a mountain resort city at 6,000 ft (1,830 m), in central Idaho; incorporated in 1967.
Sun Valley is located in Blaine County, which began its life over a century ago in much the same way other Idaho mountain communities did: as a hardscrabble mining area. By 1900, mining was clearly in decline in southern Idaho. Many Idaho mountain mining settlements eventually became ghost towns, but the Blaine County communities managed to hang on, mostly due to the sheep industry.
In 1936, tourism entered Blaine County in a big way with the opening of the Sun Valley resort, which attracted the rich and famous from day one. A particularly famous early visitor was Ernest Hemingway, who spent his final days in the area and is buried in Ketchum. Today many world famous people maintain first or second homes in Blaine County.
Sun Valley revolves around tourism, with skiing in the winter and outdoor activities in the nearby Sawtooth National Recreation Area in the summer dominating the itinerary. The area has a reputation as a highbrow and unapologetically liberal enclave in largely conservative Idaho. While vegan and organic lifestyles may be openly scoffed at only a few miles away, it's no problem at all to indulge them here. (IATA: ASE) (ICAO: KASE))

The Sun Valley area is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, either to visit or to live in. Out of sheer economic necessity, many people who work in the area commute daily from as far away as Twin Falls. If money is no object, pretty much anything can be had here. Otherwise you may want to do as many of the locals do: see the sights, then head for less expensive locales.
Equipment Rental[edit]
There are many places in Ketchum and Sun Valley where you can rent all types of equipment including skis and snowboards in the winter and bikes in the summer.
Just a few stores that specialize in equipment rentals:
