What's Your Favorite Bourbon Cocktail?
Since I can no longer check the weather on the East Coast by just walking outside (I moved to San Francisco about a year ago), I notice the onset of fall on Twitter. The digital whispers of sweater weather and a chill in the air are all I need to start thinking about the upcoming holidays and casting off sunny margaritas for autumn's brown spirits. First up is bourbon, that rich and luscious liquor, warmed with a bit of barrel sweetness, just the thing for an Old Fashioned.
Of course, there are other ways to drink bourbon, too...say, with ginger, cinnamon, and a little aged tequila like they do at Mayahuel, or with hard cider and maple syrup, plus a little applejack in this drink. I've mentioned my love of the Boulevardier before, so that recommendation goes without saying, but here are a few more bourbon cocktails to inspire your mixing.
What's your favorite way to drink bourbon? Got a bourbon cocktail you make each fall? Let us know in the comments below.

Oppo PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphones
Our good friends at Oppo Digital are branching out into headphones. I just read a product announcement about their upcoming PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphones.
From the PM-1 Product Page:
The OPPO PM-1 Planar Magnetic headphone offers a different way of thinking about planar magnetic technology. The PM-1 is characterized by a marriage of natural, dynamic, and engaging sound with an emphasis on comfort and reduced weight. It is a result of many years of R&D led by a team of passionate audio and acoustics engineers, chemical and material scientists, and audiophiles. The technology encompasses a wide range of innovative solutions that deliver exceptional performance.
The advantages of planar magnetic technology are based on the fact that in a planar driver, sound is generated by a very thin and light diaphragm that is driven evenly over the entire radiating area. Sound, entering our ear, has a planar wave front at the so called ear reference point (ERP), with all spectrum components in phase. A typical dynamic headphone driver, due to its phase irregularity, disrupts that coherence, resulting in less than perfect signal peak reconstruction, especially of very short impulses. A planar magnetic driver has another advantage that relates to its purely resistive impedance. It has a flat conductor pattern that does not have any inductive component, which eliminates inductance related IM distortion, common in dynamic headphones. A resistive load also ensures that any amplifier will drive the headphones without any changes in spectral balance.
OPPO uniquely integrates many innovations and proprietary methods developed over the years with the latest breakthroughs in materials and manufacturing techniques. Results of this research, focused on eliminating issues affecting many planar magnetic headphones, such as low sensitivity, weight, insufficient diaphragm stability, consistency and reliability, have been implemented in this new technology. The OPPO planar magnetic headphone uses an FEM optimized magnet system with very high energy Neodymium magnets. A large oval planar diaphragm is positioned in an evenly distributed symmetric magnetic field. The diaphragm has a spiraling pattern of flat conductors etched on both sides of a very thin polymer film. The magnetic system and conductor patterns are optimized for maximum driving force (sensitivity) and consistency of the applied force over the radiating area. The double-sided diaphragm has 7 layers of extremely thin materials, each doing a specific job for best performance, reliability and longevity.
These advantages of OPPOs high resolution planar magnetic technology and advanced headphone design provide for a very open, transparent, and highly dynamic sound that exhibits well-balanced tonal qualities with vanishingly low distortion, resulting in a headphone that communicates every nuance of your favorite music and ensures a high level of emotional engagement. With its classy, industrial fit and finish, the PM-1 is equally at home in an audiophile hi-fi system or on the go with a high resolution portable device.
I didn't see any specs, pricing, or date of availability other than they will be available in late 2013.
Very interesting to me. Same technology used in my Apogee ribbon speakers. If these come close to the fabled Stax electrostatic phones, also planar, they should sound terrific indeed. Hope to see a review soon.

While soon enough you'll be wearing jeans, sweatshirts and light jackets during the fall, it's still pretty hot outside. But are a few more weeks of heat worth turning on the air conditioner and jacking up your energy bill? If the answer is no, you might be looking for ways to affordably keep your house cool. Don't worry - there are plenty of ways to do so!
Keep windows covered
If you've noticed your body, a piece of furniture or even your cat getting hot because of sunshine streaming through the windows, it's time to get those covered. Roller shades for windows are a simple choice, or you could get a bit more stylish with faux wood blinds. Either way, you'll be preventing excessive light and heat entering your home.
Turn on ceiling fans
Ceiling fans are often a lot more effective than window fans or upright fans placed in the corner of a room - they help keep the entire area cool from above. Turn 'em on if you have 'em, and consider investing in a few if your home isn't already equipped. You'll feel a big difference immediately.
Tint your windows
In addition to your blinds and shades, consider applying tinted film to your windows to not only keep your house cooler, but prevent harmful UV rays from entering your home. You'll be keeping your family comfortable and their skins safe. If tinted windows don't sound appealing, you should know that there are clear options available!
Plant some greenery
Whether it's a tree or a really big bush, greenery can do a lot to prevent sunlight from scorching your interiors. Look for varieties that are already pretty big if you can, otherwise you'll have to wait a year or two to reap the shady benefits while they grow to size!
Use curtain liners
An extra layer of fabric under your curtains sounds like it would create more heat (which it does in the winter), but during the summer it helps block out heat and keep your home cooler. Even better, choose light colors that will reflect sunshine rather than absorb it. White or cream are good options.
Turn off the lights
Keeping the rooms of your house illuminated for hours on end can raise the temperature indoors, and it's also a great way to increase your electricity bill! Turn off the lights when you don't need them, and make sure your family does the same!

Is Katy Perry Dating John Mayer?
Rumor has it that Katy Perry is now dating fellow musician, the well-traveled (at least in Hollywood dating circles) John Mayer. Perry finalized her divorce from comedian Russell Brand earlier this month, but that hasn't stopped rumors from spiraling that she's diving headfirst into the dating scene (again!) and hooking up with Mayer.
While Perry was supposedly dating guitarist Robert Ackroyd of Florence + the Machine earlier this year, Entertainment Wise reports that Perry and Mayer were allegedly seen getting cozy with one another, holding hands and cuddling, at the Soho House on July 19. That's a mere three days after her divorce from Brand was made official. Mayer is a notorious serial dater of Hollywood hotties, from Taylor Swift to Jessica Simpson. He recently went on record about his dalliance with Swift and how her reported song about their relationship was hurtful. Well, John, dating another pop singer is a recipe for history repeating itself, so if you are indeed involved with Perry, you may have a similar situation on your hands, dealing with your dirty laundry being aired in a song.
Perry and Mayer reportedly enjoyed a pizza date at her crib the next day.
Hollywood Life reports that Mayer's rep says they are not dating while a Perry source says she is crushing hard on the singer-songwriter. Mayer -- who recently moved to Montana -- has been sidelined with vocal cord issues, preventing him from touring.
For his part, Brand has already moved on, admitting that he loved Perry deeply while confirming that he is now dating Isabella Brewster.

Connecting with your Crystal
Welcome your new crystal into your home by setting aside a little one on one time for just the two of you! Sit with your crystal and feel its energy opening and connecting with your heart center. Find a special place to keep your crystal where you will see it often and be able to connect with it. Working with Crystals for Crystal Healing is a fun, easy way to elevate your personal energy and deepen your connection with Mother Earth. Each Crystal is unique and offers its own special gifts. See our Crystal Definitions page for more info on specific crystal types.
How to Activate your Crystal
Crystals love to work with a purpose! In general, they are already "Turned On" and busy doing their own thing: Elevating Energies and pumping out Good Vibes! This is their natural state. We can tap into these elevated energies and combine forces by working with our crystals to expand and elevate our own energies and to connect with our highest self. This is done through activation and will set a field of expanded energies that will help us in our daily lives as we practice and deepen this connection with our crystalline friends.
To begin an activation, clear your mind and sit quietly with your crystal. Connect with your heart center and through your heart center connect with the crystal you are holding. This crystal is sharing its love and light with you, as you share your love and light with your crystal.
Think of activation as the growing and expansion of energy layers. The first activation establishes a connection between the crystal and the user, creating the first layer. These layers continue to grow, for both ourselves and the crystal, as we continue to connect. This energy field becomes more stable over time as we continue to connect and reconnect.
Cleansing your Crystal
Stones of all kinds are energetically alive. Crystals and Gemstones carry their own vibrations and can be influenced by subtle energies and/or thoughts and actions taking place around them. Crystals also have the ability to be cleansed of influences that have touched them before or after they have come to you. When gemstones are energetically cleansed they are cleared of all energies other than their own, and until they are used again in ritual or meditation, they will generally remain cleared. For some people, it is important to cleanse, wash and purify their gemstones and crystals before using them. For others it is not. This is really a personal preference, one that you may feel into on an individual basis.
Feel into your crystal when you first receive it. How does it feel? Does it feel yummy and scrumptious; is it a pure delight? Then maybe it doesn't need cleared at all. But, if you feel guided to make this new gemstone truly a piece of your own, and perhaps also to have a special bonding session with your new crystalline friend, then cleansing your crystals should be easy and fun. Below are a few ideas for consideration, but you may be inspired by something entirely different! The key is to have an open heart and to connect with your crystals just as you would with any person or spirit guide.
Listed below is one of our favorite methods. For a more exhaustive list of possibilities, see our Crystal Cleansing Guide.
Cleansing your crystals with the method of energy and intention:
Hold your crystal with the intention of Pure Love & Light enfolding it. Feel yourself and your crystal being surrounded within a sphere of very supportive white or golden light energy. (You may also play with different colors, if you enjoy color healing!) Begin to feel Cosmic Love and Source Energy flowing throughout your body and directly into your crystal. Stay within this protective sphere for as long as you feel guided. This is also an excellent way to begin any meditation.

Tracking The Four: Midseason Dunks of the YearPosted by EJacoby on January 13th, 2012
Evan Jacoby is an RTC columnist and contributor. You can find him @evanjacoby on Twitter. TT4 will cover four selected teams of interest – Syracuse, Indiana, Murray State, and UNLV – by tracking their ups, downs, and exciting developments throughout the course of the season.
Welcome back to Tracking The Four! Remember that TT4 will run as a full piece on Tuesdays, and on Fridays we will post a shorter 'wildcard' edition of fun content from each team. This week, we present you with the TT4 Midseason Dunks of the Year. Some of these have become instant classic moments that are recognizable plays. We've embedded the top slam from each team for your enjoyment.
Indiana Hoosiers
Indiana's had plenty of highlight exposure on ESPN and your favorite basketball shows. Most notably, we all remember Christian Watford's game-winning shot to beat Kentucky on December 10. But earlier in that game, Victor Oladipo absolutely brought the house down with an arena-shaking slam that brought the building to its feet. This one is the Dunk of the Year to me, right now, simply because of the magnitude of the play, giving huge momentum to Indiana in the second half against the #1 team in the country. Just watch the reaction to this dunk:
Any time you can have Dickie V scream out, "Are you SERIOUS America??!?!", you know it was something special. This most amazing part of this dunk to me? He blows right by Michael Kidd-Gilchrist up top, one of the best perimeter defenders in college basketball. This dunk won't be forgotten by anyone in Bloomington for a long time.

New Photos of Tiger Cubs at Play
The Milwaukee County Zoo's two new Amur tiger cubs are some of the most fun and engaging animals around. They love to run, jump and play in their exhibit in the Zoo's Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Country. Check out the photo slide show below for examples. You might see the cubs trying to play with Mom Amba's tail! Or you might spot them trying to outrun Mom when they venture too far into the exhibit for her liking. The cubs are just as cute when they take a break: "If they are nursing they will eventually just fall asleep in that position," says zookeeper Val Werner. The cubs go on exhibit daily 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., but the best time to see them is between 10:30 and 11 a.m., say the keepers. Visit them often! They alternate playing with sleeping and resting behind the scenes.

I'm Addicted
I'm addicted to the gospel. It burns inside of me. And it seems to get hotter ever day. I can't stop thinking about it, talking about it, writing about it, reading about it, wrestling with it, reveling in it, standing on it, and thanking God for it. For better or for worse, my focus has become myopic. My passion has become singular. Lesser things don't distract me as easily. I'm not as anxious as I used to be. I don't fret over things as much. I'm more relaxed. What others think of me (either good or bad) doesn't matter as much as it used to. I'm enjoying life more. The pressure's off. I actually think I'm beginning to understand the length and breadth of the freedom Jesus purchased for me.
Jesus plus nothing equals everything–the gospel– is daily becoming for me more than a theological passion, more than a cognitive reality. It's becoming my functional lifeline! And it's this rediscovery of the gospel's power that is enabling me to see that,
Because Jesus was strong for me, I am free to be weak;
Because Jesus won for me, I am free to lose;
Because Jesus was Someone, I am free to be no one;
Because Jesus was extraordinary, I am free to be ordinary;
Because Jesus succeeded for me, I am free to fail.
This is beginning to define my life in brand new, bright, and liberating ways. I believe God wants this liberating truth to define your life as well…and the life of the church corporately. Because I'm telling you right now, when you begin to understand that everything you need and long for, in Christ you already possess—it enables you to live a life of scandalous freedom, unrestrained fearlessness, and unbounded courage. When you don't have anything to lose, you discover something wonderful: you're free! Nothing in this broken world can beat a man who isn't afraid to lose! And when you're not afraid to lose you can say crazy, counterintuitive stuff like, "To live is Christ and to die is gain!" That's pure, unadulterated freedom.
This is why I tweet as much as I do. I'm processing the gospel all day long in 140 characters. Therefore, from time to time I post some of my more recent tweets to show you how God is working the gospel deeper into me and what I'm learning. Twitter has become for me an online personal journal. I hope you can benefit from the things God is teaching me.
- The banner under which Christians live reads "It is finished."
- Our security is in Christ's achievement for us, so now we're free to admit our weaknesses without feeling like our flesh is bring ripped off our bones
- Only when you realize that the gospel has nothing to do with your obedience but Christ's obedience for you, will you start to obey!
- At no point in time, either before God saves you or after, does your behavior determine God's love for you.
- Since a Christian's value and identity is anchored in Christ and is not anchored in being right, the gospel frees us to admit we're wrong.
- The gospel frees us from trying to impress people, prove ourselves to people, and make people think we're something that we're not.
- The gospel transforms us precisely because it's not itself a message about our transformation but Christ's substitution.
- The gospel frees us to realize that while we matter, we're not the point.
- "Doing" will become instinctive and spontaneous only when our hearts become deeply gripped by what's been done!
- Only the gospel can liberate us from the miserable, unquenchable pursuit to make something of ourselves by using others.
- Because everything we long for we already possess in Christ, we're now free to love people, not use them.
- Our improvement comes from God's approval; God's approval does not come from our improvement.
- Christ fulfilled all of God's conditions on our behalf so that our relationship with God could be unconditional.
- The gospel frees you from the pressure of having to make something out of yourself.
- Christian, the level of passion with which God loves you is not determined by the level of passion with which you love him. The Son's passion for you secured the Father's passion for you.

Rocker Mick Jagger feels an odd connection to the boys of One Direction after watching a documentary about the pop act.
He reveals the footage of their concerts reminded him of early Rolling Stones shows.
Jagger tells CNN, "I watched a concert of One Direction on the TV the other night… It reminded me very much of our early concerts, when we were pushed around among the audience and we would kind of float. They were, like, floating above the audience, and they looked like, really distinctly uncomfortable.
"I remember feeling that same uncomfortable feeling of being pushed around in this very weird place about 50 years ago. It was a very funny moment, because it was very similar to the things we've been through."
Meanwhile, bandmate Ronnie Wood is set on becoming One Direction's sixth member after befriending Harry Styles and his group.
He adds, "I remember them before they made it and I said, 'Come on, stick with it boys, you can do it'. They still want me to come and jam with them I said, 'Yeah, I'll come and play with you anytime'."

Judith Lindbloom, abstract expressionist, El Farolito on 24th Street in the Mission for lunch after the meeting, talking about William James, the God thing, William James says, Look, we are scientific men, Christian men, honest men, and we cannot deny what we see: People are having experiences; they have these experiences of another world and then they change. What are we to call this? How can we, as scientific men, pretend that this is not real? So something is going on, basically, is what Judith and William James and I agree about in the Farolito on 24th near Florida Street.
How did she get 33 years sober, hanging out with de Kooning in New York, marrying Steve Lacy because he needed a wife even though she preferred women, and living in that apartment at 24th and Potrero since 1979, watching the giant construction cranes across Potrero at SF General Hospital, and my plate of al pastor, and the uncanny feeling of holy rescue one feels sitting across from somebody who rampaged through 1950s New York art scene fucking everything that had a can of cadmium yellow and a canvas stretcher, everything that had a gallery show even a group gallery show and a collection of Chet Baker records not too many because he didn't make too many because he died young and pretty and messed up, toothless and beat up and strung out in the Fillmore … thinking how does that familiar miracle happen to this woman who is nothing but trouble for years just fucking up everything until finally one day she gets it and stops the bullshit and just keeps painting every day for the last 33 years in her studio at Hunter's Point until the abstracts are piled up to the ceiling and still she keeps going because it's the only way to God for her, it's the only way to know herself, her raspy, Winston-ravaged throat, her New York by way of Chicago combination of exasperation and exultations, half the time having no idea what she's really saying but agreeing, as we agree about William James and what he was seeing in 1890, that the old religions are crumbling yet people are having these experiences of something beyond, something other, something anti-rational that says everything you believed up till now was wrong, relax, surrender.
Let the impossible happen. Let what you don't know guide you.
Me and Judith in El Farolito. She talks incessantly about dying. How she's ready. How it's a pain in the ass. How people are taking care of her. People are taking Judith where Judith needs to go. People are buying Judith lunch. People are driving Judith to AA meetings. This is community.
This is how community works, a loving community around a single person without any blood relatives nearby, this is how we close ranks around someone who tore through New York in the 1950s and is still painting abstract expressionist and still listening to jazz LPs on her turntable in her Hunters Point studio and still wearing those khaki painters' pants the hipsters wore in New York: that faded black-and-white photo of her on the door of her Hunters Point studio: Who is that woman she's with, her lover? A friend of de Kooning's? Who is that woman? How did she get there? And how did we get to this table at El Farolito?
We moved into her building in 1990 and she said, "I'm the one with the great flat. You're the ones who got the not-so-great flat." We became friends. We went to demonstrations together.
I am giving her rides. We are taking care of her. We are closing ranks around her as she threatens to slip away from us.

July 14, 2003
June 2, 2003, may turn out to be one of the most important days in the history of American broadcasting. On that day the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), by a 3-2 vote along partisan lines, removed many of the restrictions on ownership of broadcast stations. The FCC rule that allowed one company to reach only 35% of the nation (in the early days it had been 25%) was loosened to permit 45% penetration, and strict cross-ownership rules denying one company the right to own a television station and a cable system or newspaper in the same market were eliminated. One immediate beneficiary of the new rules was the Tribune Company, which was permitted to own both television station KTLA-Channel 5 and the Los Angeles Times under a temporary waiver that was made permanent by the vote.
The outcome of the vote had been predetermined for weeks and was controlled by the one-vote Republican majority on the FCC. Even so, the loosening of ownership rules unleashed a firestorm of protest as evidenced by the rancorous hearings led by the Democrat Commissioners before the vote and a coalition of Republican and Democrat Senators after the vote. The Congress has the authority to undo the vote, although this is considered highly unlikely.
The issue of broadcast ownership has been a contentious one since the earliest days of broadcasting when NBC was forced to sell off one of its two networks (which became ABC) and control of the airwaves was limited from the first days of television. Back then, the players were ABC, CBS, NBC, Paramount, Fox, Columbia, Universal and Warner Bros. and their main business was film or television. Today the players are Disney, Viacom, General Electric, News Corporation, Sony, Vivendi and AOL Time Warner and television is just a small part of their overall businesses. One of the few restrictions still in place states that a broadcast license can only be held by an American citizen, which is why Japan's Sony and France's Vivendi do not own stations or networks and News Corporation's Rupert Murdoch had to become an American citizen before he could buy the stations that formed his Fox Network.
The great fear of the change in ownership is that the smaller, diverse voices in broadcasting and newspapers will be "swallowed up" by the large conglomerates, which will go on a buying spree to get to the 45% figure (Viacom and Fox were already at the 38-39% level because of temporary waivers - had the vote not gone their way, they would have had to divest). Those in favor of the new rules say that the Internet and other technologies ensure more independent voices than ever and that their critics can offer little more than "big is bad." The 1996 Communications Act required the FCC to examine ownership rules every two years so it was practically inevitable that these changes would come when the "right" majority was in place as it is now.
A comprehensive examination — a study and then hearings — of the ownership situation and whether less powerful voices have been driven out is needed and would be beneficial in serving the public's interest in determining who should own our broadcast stations.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the longer you're a parent, the more studies come out informing you that everything you've done up until now has been HORRIBLY DANGEROUS AND WRONG? I know it makes me sound like I should have a cane handy for yelling at all these gol-dang newfangled parenting techniques to get off my lawn, but I swear I hear about a new baby-wrangling recommendation every other week and it makes me wonder how my own children managed to survive my stunning ineptitude.
I mean, I didn't know deli meat was forbidden during pregnancy! I couldn't wait for that one-year milestone to turn my babies' carseats around! I dosed my kids with over the counter medication at the first sign of a fever! My god, I fed my babies from a SPOON instead of spitting it into their mouths!
And now that I've learned about "hip healthy swaddling," I realize that the way I often wrapped up my babies in those early months was practically begging for hip dysplasia. GAH!
Hip dysplasia is the medical term for looseness of the hip joint, a condition that ranges from mild instability to complete dislocation. One out of every 20 full-term babies have some hip instability, and 2-3 out of every 1,000 infants will require treatment. Not only that, but it's something that can affect a person later in life—almost one third of hip joint replacements before the age of 50 are because of unrecognized hip dysplasia.
While many babies are born with loose hip joints, the natural process is for everything to tighten up on its own, allowing the hips to grow normally. In most cases, this is exactly what happens, but sometimes the correction doesn't happen thanks to genetics ... and overly tight swaddling.
Studies have found that regularly swaddling a baby too tightly may lead to an abnormal development of the hip joint, which can eventually cause the ball of the hip to dislocate from the hip socket. According to the president of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America,
Many cultures, and a growing number of Americans, practice traditional swaddling -- the tight wrapping of infants with their legs together and fully extended. Unfortunately, this practice places infants at a high risk for dysplasia. Instead, the infant's arms and torso should be snugly wrapped, while the legs are wrapped loosely, ensuring the legs are bent up and out. The legs should be free to move, and most importantly, the legs should never be wrapped in a 'straight down' position.
Here's a video on how swaddling should be done:
It seems like I tried all sorts of different swaddles over the years, depending on my baby's age and temperament at the time (you know how sometimes they seem to want to be immobilized, and sometimes they just plain hate it?), but I definitely didn't know to always keep their legs loose. "Hip healthy" information isn't brand new, but I hadn't personally heard of it until recently ... so, I guess I can add "swaddling" to the ever-growing list of stuff I totally biffed back in the day.
Luckily, my kids' hips seem okay today, no thanks to my ignorant wrapping technique, but I'm more than a little paranoid about what I'm going to learn next. Sippy cups: LINKED TO MALFORMED JAWS. Onesies: RESTRICT ARM FLEXIBILITY. Teddy bears: FILLED WITH DEADLY TOXINS.
Did you know about 'hip healthy' swaddling?

Board members and administrators are going to bear the brunt of the criticism for the cuts that end up being made. But the issues that led to a $2.65 million shortfall go well beyond the walls of the district's central offices.
The high school district will receive $1.4 million less in state aid next year than it did in 2009-10, if Governor Cuomo's proposed budget is passed. While it is slated to get 5 percent more than this year, that is hardly enough to cover increases for health insurance and pensions, which are rising at two to three times that rate.
We recognize that the state had to make cutbacks to solve its own budget crisis, but it has done so by passing costs on to local residents, while imposing a tax cap that limits a district's ability to raise money. That combination forces these cuts.
It was good to see so many residents turn out at the Feb. 12 board meeting to show their support of various programs. We were glad that the speakers, a mix of parents, students and graduates, stayed on point and avoided unproductive attacks on school officials that often happen in emotional situations. We hope to see more of the same when the public gets its next chance to address the board, on March 12.
More important, we urge residents to attend the Valley Stream Council of PTAs' annual Legislative Breakfast on March 16. This Saturday-morning tradition gives Valley Streamers a chance to hear from and speak with elected officials from all levels of government. We hope that residents will turn out and make their voices heard, especially to the powers that be in Albany who can deliver more money and address unfunded mandates.
The Legislative Breakfast is an important opportunity to fight for education. Anyone with a vested interest in the high school district budget should be there. State lawmakers need to know just how much Valley Streamers value their school system and all the opportunities it offers students.
We also urge the Board of Education to hold off on adopting a budget until April. Let's let the lawmakers hear from the community first, and hope some positive changes are reflected in the state budget, which is due April 1, in the hope that a more palatable school budget can be created.

Black Rock Steel Wheels - From Silicon To SteelPosted in How To on March 1, 2011
A frightening number of people don't know where milk really comes from, and in case you think it comes from a bottle at the local supermarket, here's a hint; you're wrong.
Why talk about the true origin of milk? As off-roaders, we've got an unprecedented number of trail goodies available, all of which combine to make our ventures in the dirt faster, smoother, safer, and more fun. Wherever possible, we need to understand how those products come to be.
It's not always feasible to visit the factories that make our favorite off-road hardware, but with Black Rock's lineup of steel wheels, it is. Black Rock's steel wheels are made entirely in-house at the Black Rock factory in Ontario, California. As it turns out, there's an amazing amount of machinery needed to turn flat steel into a true running, off-road-worthy wheel.
Follow along as Black Rock wheels go from silicon to steel. As for the true origin of milk, we'll leave that to someone else.

The 2010 Amsoil/Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge
The AMSOIL/Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge is one of our favorite events, as we get to spend a week at Comp Cams' Memphis, Tennessee, facility flogging some of the most powerful Mopar engines around on their engine dyno. This year was no different, as six contestants met the deadline and requirements to enter the Engine Challenge, each with their own theory about the best way to gain an advantage.
The winner of the 2010 challenge was determined by measuring peak horsepower and dividing it into the displacement of the motor, for a horsepower per cubic inch rating, and all but one of the engines this year exceeded the standard of one horsepower per cubic inch. As you'll see, the fifth place B&G Speed and Machine entry was a basic, economically built 360, still making an impressive 418-plus horsepower for a 1.14 horsepower per cubic inch rating.
Due to a mechanical issue, last year's second place finisher, Chenoweth Speed and Machine, didn't make the required dyno pulls while at Comp. Claiming a total displacement of only 279 cubic inches, this would have been the smallest engine in the contest, and although we didn't get to see its potential during the 2010 contest, we'll still take a look at their combination.
B&G Speed and Machine Bargersville, Indiana
Each competitor in this year's contest had their own theory about the best displacement given our rules, but B&G Speed and Machine simply relied on one of the best ways to make small-block power, a solid 360. Knowing that the RHS heads were a great match right out of the box for a Mopar 360, engine builder Bill Hess planned his combination around that match. On the dyno, the crew made a solid showing after sorting out an electrical misfire, making a best judged pull of 418.7 horsepower from their 367.2 cubic inch small-block.
Starting off with a used 360 block, B&G bored the casting .040 over, using a stock crankshaft with a stroke of 3.58 inches. Eagle forged steel connecting rods combined with economical Speed Pro hypereutectic cast pistons rounded out the bottom end, which was balanced as well. A Chet Herbert solid flat tappet camshaft was used arriving at .528 inch intake and .550 inch exhaust lift, and 255 degrees of duration at .050 inch lift.
To top their solid short-block, B&G used the required RHS/Indy X heads, with shaft mounted rockers and LA intake pattern. These heads are a direct replacement for older Mopar small-blocks, offering improved flow, bigger valves, and a far better combustion chamber design than factory heads. To achieve better flow, these heads were fitted with large 2.05 intake and 1.60 exhaust valves, actuated by factory 273 adjustable rocker gear. For induction, an Edelbrock Victor 340 intake manifold was combined with an 800-cfm Holley double-pumper. Good for over 418 horsepower on pump gas, this 360 would make any Mopar a fun ride.
Chenoweth Speed and Machine Morton, Illinois and LaRoy Engines Challis, Idaho
Last year Chenoweth Speed and Machine and LaRoy Engines were competing against each other in our dyno contest, placing second and third respectively. No doubt noticing each other's strong points, Jim LaRoy and his sons teamed up with Dale and Mike Chenoweth this year, performing much of the cylinder head porting and valve work required to achieve maximum flow numbers. Using a 273 as the foundation for their build, the Chenoweth/LaRoy 279 cubic inch small-block would have required the least amount of horsepower to win the contest, since it was the smallest engine entered.
During the bench racing and idle chatter around our trailer at the Mopar Nationals, we learned that the Chenoweth/LaRoy entry had encountered a cooling system problem during dyno testing, but that the team had pulled the heads and replaced suspect head gaskets to repair the issue. Unfortunately, it reared its ugly head again once the engine was started and brought to temperature at Comp. Noticing water blowing from the dyno exhaust connection, the crew shut down the engine to investigate. Pulling the spark plugs, the problem became apparent as coolant was found in the number seven cylinder. Deciding not to risk further damage, the team chose not to make their dyno pulls, disqualifying themselves from the competition. We certainly would have liked to see this little engine run, as it could very well have been a contender in the 2010 AMSOIL/Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge had it not been for the problem.

SINGAPORE - Oil prices were up in post-Christmas Asian trade Wednesday as traders warily eyed the soon-to-resume US budget talks on a deal to avert the fiscal cliff, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in February rose 39 cents (S$0.47) to $89.00 a barrel in the afternoon and Brent North Sea crude for February gained 50 cents to $109.30.
US budget discussions were once again the "main focus of attention", said Jason Hughes, head of premium client management for IG Markets Singapore.
Lawmakers are set to return to the negotiating table after Christmas holidays in a last ditch effort to reach a deal to avert the so-called cliff, a series of steep tax hikes and spending cuts due to take effect in January.
Experts warn that going over the cliff could plunge the world's biggest economy back into recession.
"All eyes (are on) the US after stable but quiet holiday trading... for a decision that will tip markets one way or the other," Hughes told AFP.
More than $600 billion in scheduled tax increases and across-the-board spending cuts are set to kick in early next year, leaving Democratic and Republican leaders with only a few days to reach consensus.
The two sides on Saturday broke for the Christmas holiday blaming each other for stonewalling the crucial deal.

News from the world of maths: Boomerangs in spaceSubmitted by plusadmin on June 3, 2008
Boomerangs in space
A boomerang has been thrown in space, and lo and behold, it returns to its thrower, just like on Earth.
Japanese astronaut Takao Doi threw the boomerang on request from world boomerang champion, compatriot Yasuhiro Togai onboard the International Space Station.
"I was very surprised and moved to see that it flew the same way it does on Earth," Doi was quoted as saying in the Mainichi Shimbun.
Thanks to wawawamovie for the following video of the boomerang.

By DAVID MURPHY
If you are curious why the Phillies have not been mentioned as a serious suitor for the Diamondbacks' Justin Upton, take a look at the package of players that the Mariners were reportedly ready to send to Arizona before Upton scuttled the deal by invoking his no-trade clause.
Taijuan Walker: One of the top prospects in the game, he ranked at No. 20 on Baseball America's Top 100 prior to the 2012 season. A right-handed starter, he does not turn 21 until August.
Nick Franklin: Rated the No. 53 prospect in the game by Baseball America prior to the 2011 season, Franklin spent 2012 at Double-A and Triple-A, hitting .278/.347/.453 with 11 home runs on the season. Most importantly, he can play second base or short stop, and could be ready to contribute at the major league level this season.
Charlie Furbush: A 27-year-old reliever who logged 46 1/3 innings in 48 appearances for Seattle last season, posting a 2.72 ERA, 10.3 K/9, 3.1 BB/9 and 0.6 HR/9.
Stephen Pryor: A 23-year-old reliever who appeared in 26 games for the Mariners, posting an ERA of 3.91, 10.6 K/9, 5.1 BB/9, 2.0 HR/9.
Franklin is the key player in all of this, at least when it comes to making sense of the Phillies' position on the trade market. All the reports about Arizona's intentions suggest that the Diamondbacks are looking for a legit middle infielder to be a part of any Upton deal -- they have reportedly been holding out for the Rangers' Jurickson Profar or Elvis Andrus -- and Franklin is that guy. He is near major league ready, has a good ceiling, and is a favorite of scouts. In short, he is the kind of guy that the Phillies just do not have in their system. Perhaps Roman Quinn develops into that guy. But he is still at least two and probably three or four years away from even thinking about the major leagues.
The Phillies could always partner with a third team if they targeted Upton or some other high-priced player, but that third team is probably going to be looking for a blue-chip position player too. Jonathan Singleton was the kind of prospect that would ring a lot of phones, but he went to Houston in 2011 for Hunter Pence.
The Phillies have a potential blue-chip pitcher in Jesse Biddle, but all of their high-ceiling position prospects are at the lower levels of the minor leagues. Which is why a blockbuster deal involving the Phillies is not likely to happen before this year's trade deadline.

Regardless of which camp you put yourself in, there will be distinct winners and losers as we move forward. So before you make your next trade, please read this first to learn how to put the probabilities of success on your side.
Knowledge Is Power
We've all heard the old adage: knowledge is power.
It's a great saying because it's true.
And that saying couldn't be truer than when it comes to investing.
Take a look at your last big loser for example. After analyzing what went wrong, you soon discover some piece of information that -- 'had you known that, you never would have gotten into it in the first place'.
I'm not talking about things that are unknowable, like inside information or surprise announcements that can catch even the most professional of professionals off guard.
I'm talking about things that you could have known about or SHOULD have known about before you got in.
Did You Know?...
- Did you know that roughly half of a stock's price movement can be attributed to the group that it's in?
- Did you also know that oftentimes a mediocre stock in a top performing group will outperform a 'great' stock in a poor performing group?
- And did you know that the top 50% of Zacks Ranked Industries outperforms the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1?
- And did you also know that the top 10% of industries outperformed the most?
Was your last loser in one of the top industries or in one of the bottom industries?
If it was in one of the bottom industries, you should have known to not take a chance on something with a reduced probability of success.
Today, See Zacks' Top Stocks for Free
Starting now, you can get instant access to the latest picks from our market-beating strategies that produce average gains of +19.5%, +27.8%, +54.5% and +67.4% per year. Plus, with this program, you can create your own strategies and know how the stocks are likely to perform before you invest in them.
Zacks will also give you a free Special Report, Top 5 Valuation Secrets, which could dramatically change the way you invest.
That's what is meant by knowledge is power. Knowable things that you need to know.
That's not to say that stocks in crummy industries won't go up -- they do. And that's not to say that stocks in good industries won't go down -- because they do too.
But more stocks go up in the top industries, and more stocks go down in the bottom industries.
And since there are over 10,000 stocks out there to pick and choose from, why settle for one with a reduced chance of making any money?
Did You Know?...
- Did you know that stocks with 'just' double-digit growth rates typically outperform stocks with triple-digit growth rates?
- Did you also know that stocks with crazy high growth rates test nearly as poorly as those with the lowest growth rates?
Did your last loser have a spectacular growth rate?
If so, and it got crushed, would you have picked it if you knew that stocks with the highest growth rates have spotty track records?
It seems logical to think that the companies with the highest growth rates would do the best. But it doesn't always turn out to be the case.
One explanation for this is that sky high growth rates are unsustainable. And the moment a more normal (albeit still good) growth rate emerges, the stock gets a dose of reality as well.
Instead, I have found that comparing a stock to the median growth rate for its industry is the best way to find solid outperformers with a lesser chance to disappoint.
Did You Know?...
- Did you know that stocks receiving broker rating upgrades have historically outperformed those with no rating change by more than 1.5 times? And did you know they outperformed stocks receiving downgrades by more than 10 x as much? The next time one of your stocks is upgraded or downgraded, be sure to remember these statistics so you know how the odds stack up and whether they're for you or against you.
- Did you know that stocks with a Price to Sales ratio of less than 1 have produced significantly superior results over companies with a Price to Sales ratio greater than those levels? And did you know that those with a Price to Sales ratio of greater than 4 have typically shown to lose money? That doesn't mean that all stocks with a P/S ratio of less than one will go up and those over four will go down, but you can greatly increase your odds of success by following these valuations.
- Do you know what an R-Squared Growth rate is? What if you did? We have a screen that utilizes this seldom looked at item that has handily beaten the market over the last 10 years and was up 14.2% in 2008's bear market, while the S&P 500 was down -37%. That screen is aptly called the R-Squared EPS Growth screen.
Do you know how well your stock picking strategies have performed?
Whether good or bad – do you know why?
Do you know if your favorite item to look for is helping you or hurting you?
Get the answers to these questions and more. And discover what works and what doesn't before your next trade. Learn how to take full advantage of today's uncertain market.
I continue to discover the above with an easy-to-use but powerful tool, the Zacks Research Wizard. I even used it to develop a stock-picking strategy that has averaged gains of +67.4% per year. You can see the latest stocks from this and several other winning strategies during the next 2 weeks free. If you have questions, plug them in and get your answers. Explore our winning strategies. Or create your own. And test virtually any idea you can think of. Now you can.
Thanks and good trading.

When Ephraim Upham went to Orlando Ware's Deerfield, Massachusetts, store to set up his household, his shopping list included a bellows. A bellows was a handy fireplace tool. It worked far better than simply breathing on a fire to make it burn more strongly. The user pumped the bellows and the stream of air made the fire burn hotter. Ephraim paid 83 cents for the bellows he bought from the Ware store in 1803.

"Química por Tabela 2.0" - A series of chemistry demonstrationsActivity by Paulo Ribeiro-Claro | added on Dec 05, 2010 | Portugal
Sponsor(s): Department of Chemistry, University of Aveiro
"Química por Tabela 2.0" is a chemistry-based show for the general public - a sequence of interesting, surprising, or amazing chemical reactions - that will be part of the permanent programme of the Fábrica CCVA Science Centre of Aveiro
"Química por Tabela 2.0" is the new "IYC-version" of a chemistry-based show for the general public that is currently part of the permanent programme of the Fábrica CCVA Science Centre in Aveiro. Since January 2008 the original show has been running three days a week and on the first Sunday each month at the "Fábrica de Ciência". Up until September 2010 the show has been performed 150 times and has been seen by approximately 10,000 people!
The popularity of the show has led to its successor "Química por Tabela 2.0". The new show has been developed over a period of 12 months in the Department of Chemistry of the University of Aveiro under supervision of Prof. Paulo Ribeiro-Claro and Brian G. Goodfellow and a grant from the "Ciência Viva" National Agency. It includes an all new set of chemistry experiments developed in a way to convey a few basic notions of chemistry to the audience, to relate the experiments to the world around us (and also to the chemistry lessons at school) and finally to stimulate the inquiring scientist in all of us.
The complete process included the selection of a group of visually exciting experiments, each chosen by considering the ease of execution, the availability of equipment, safety and cost. A script was written and two chemistry graduates were trained to present the show to the public. Final touches, required for a performance in a Science Centre, were provided by the Fábrica team, at a highly professional level and include audiovisual aids, an appropriate stage and backdrop and lessons in presentation for the presenters.
"Química por Tabela 2.0" will by running weekly at the Fábrica CCVA Science Centre in Aveiro during 2011, under de IYC label. Hopefully this new show will enjoy as much success as is predecessor and continue to excite, stimulate, intrigue and amaze people from all age groups in the future.

Mt. Airy playwright and screenwriter Larry Loebell, 60, readily admits to the bizarre contradictions of his new film, a "riff" on Feodor Dostoyevsky's 1864 novella, "Notes From Underground," premiering at this year's Philly Fringe Festival.
In "Dostoyevsky Man," Loebell's protagonist is Gilbert Findlay, a disgruntled professor of classic literature forced from his academic kingdom by a "nefarious" contemporary-minded colleague. Findlay hatches a desperate scheme to regain his job and films it on his iPhone.
"He recognizes the irony of this," the 60-year-old screenwriter explains of Findlay's storytelling. "He says, 'Dostoyevsky would've HATED this.' [Dostoyevsky] didn't like technology. He would've hated social media. He would've seen all these as the destruction of our souls."
But that doesn't stop this fictional professor from making the most of modern tools to create and share his story. "It's part of his complexity," Loebell notes, allowing that the "epic[ally]" self-involved protagonist may generate "repulsion" as well as sympathy and humor from the viewer. "He's complicated; he's hard. I'm drawn to characters in all of my pieces who are not easy."
When Findlay finds himself unmoored in a world that wants only pop literature, he takes extreme measures. He kidnaps three people at gunpoint: his best student, the dean of the university and a school janitor, forcing them to listen to the lecture that he hopes will win his job back.
"In a sense, he recognizes that what he's doing is crazy, yet he feels such desperation," Loebell explains. "His own best interest would be not to do this, to dust himself off and find another job. But he can't do that. He feels like the people who have wronged him must in some way come to a reckoning."
While the play doesn't dwell on current politics, it's a frustration that millions of laid-off Americans can relate to. Loebell himself is well-qualified to write about the vagaries of the academic world. I first met him eight years ago when I was his student in playwriting at Glenside's Arcadia University.
"There's a kind of cruelty in the notion that you spend your life studying something and teaching it and investing in it, and then by some method that's really beyond your control, you get judged for a bunch of things, and you're in for life or you're out," Loebell says of the stresses of the un-tenured professor's academic career.
Loebell first encountered "Notes From Underground" as a student and wrote a 10-minute play inspired by it in grad school. Several years later, he expanded the piece into a seven-character play that he entered in several contests, and while it received some positive notice, it was never produced.
"One of the great things about this experience for me is that I finally found the form the piece is supposed to be in," Loebell says of adapting his piece into this year's film, with the help of actor and co-director Seth Reichgott, who carries the one-man film onscreen.
They had committed to entering "Dostoyevsky Man" in this year's Fringe Festival before the film was actually made. "I was totally freaked out," Loebell says, and the tremors that accompany launching a new piece are unlikely to subside before the premiere.
"I originally thought we would fake it — make it look like he was filming on his iPhone," Loebell says of carrying out the film's concept while actually shooting with a high-end digital camera. But as the start of filming approached — on a shoestring budget of $600 — he realized that his own iPhone was the right tool for the piece, both aesthetically and to prove the modern accessibility of the art of filmmaking.
"It's the movie which proves that anyone who wants to make a movie can make one. And that was part of my point," Loebell says. "Part of what I wanted was to take these low-end tools and make something watchable and interesting."
Loebell and Reichgott wrapped up two months of filming in June. Arcadia University's library, hallways, classrooms and dining hall provided most of the film's settings, and the scenes from Findlay's own apartment were shot on a set constructed in Loebell's own home, much to the chagrin of his dogs, who had to make room.
After many years and many incarnations of his "Dostoyevsky" script, Loebell is looking forward to sharing the story, however nerve-racking a premiere can be. "This felt to me like the perfect Fringe movie," he says. "I don't think anybody has seen anything quite like it."
Loebell is a graduate of Central High School (228th graduating class). He has a BA in English from Temple University, an MA in Creative Writing from Colorado State University, and an MFA in film and television, also from Temple. He is a lifelong resident of Northwest Philadelphia who grew up on Washington Lane. His play, "House, Divided" ("satisfyingly complex" — Toby Zinman, Variety) was nominated for a Barrymore Award as Outstanding New Play after its 2008 production at InterAct Theater Company.
Loebell's wife of 40 years, Diane, is an attorney for the City of Philadelphia Law Department. Their son David and his family (wife Pam and kids Clara and Amy) are also Mt. Airy residents. David, also a Central High grad, works for Weavers Way Food Co-op, and Pam works for Project Learn school. "We are a pretty dyed-in-the-wool Mt. Airy family," Larry said last week.
Larry Loebell and Seth Reichgott's "Dostoyevsky Man" will be shown on Friday, Sept. 14, 7 p.m., at the University of the Arts' Connelly Auditorium on the 8th floor of Terra Hall, 211 S. Broad St., and on Sunday, Sept. 16, 7 p.m., at Arcadia University's Spruance Theater in Glenside. (Take Arcadia's Church Road entrance and then straight to the parking lot next to the 150-seat theater.) Tickets are $9 and are available through the Fringe Festival website, www.livearts-fringe.org For more information, call 215-413-9006.

Derek this is what you are up against!!!
Hey Guess What Tennis FANs looks like the Match of the Year will be OCT 9th or Oct 8th. Who Will WIN?
i played in the evening under the lights with the woody today.....it took a bit longer than usually to get used to it.
First, Tim I take Schiff Move Free Glucosamine and YouTheory Collagen; both of which I buy at Costco. I can't be sure if they make my joints stronger but I definitely feel less pain (almost none). I do leg extensions in my house twice a week with a 20 lb. weighted boot on my foot. Second, did I mention that I won that A singles tournament and $100 (the draw is displayed above those 2 good pictures of me). There were six 5.0 players in that tournament. Third, CoachV was a 5.5 when he was 25. Now at 35 he is probably a 5.2 (with a midsize graphite strung with Polyester). With a 66 sq inch wood racket, I estimate, he is a 4.7. Against my 100 mph first serve and 80 mph Rafter/Edberg like kick second serve to his backhand, CoachV will be mishitting his return of serve more than the number of attempts it would take a blind man to thread a needle! Fourth, if CoachV tries any weird alternate strategy (moonball, dropshot, dink & lob, etc.), I believe I will be ready to counter because I have a complete game (no major weaknesses other than my footspeed). For CoachV to take advantage of my geriatric foot speed, he needs to hit powerful topspin angled groundstrokes alternating to my backhand then forehand. With my first-strike stategy, CoachV will be on the defense for most of this match. Simply put, CoachV with a wood racket can not perform offensively enough to beat an experienced, mentally tough, all-around player who knows how to strategically set up a point. Last, but not least, I will be preparing by playing about 3 sets of singles against other 5.0 players on most days. CoachV, because of his teaching obligations, will be bunting the ball up the middle to his students (2.0 - 4.0). I can smell the toasted marshmallows which CoachV has agreed to eat with me using most of his wood rackets as fuel, if he loses.
I love it! I am eagerly anticipating this match, looking forward to see the effect of your first and second serves. I myself ought to take those supplements because my years of cycling have made my knees less pliable.
Yes, teaching tennis can really mess up one's game. I should know, having done three summer camps. Feeding balls is a real monotony.
I can already visualize the Rafter/Edberg kick to a woodie Coach V backhand. Maybe that's where the match result hangs.
We are DAYS away!
Is that a blue paintjob?

Scottish Islands again 2015
We cannot keep away from The Isle of Arran and this year joined it with a second stay on the Isle of Arran in two very fine properties. On Arran we stayed at Glen Sannox in a detached family owned cottage standing in its own grounds by the seashore. It is a property Ken has known over 50 years but never visited – just admired. The Barra bungalow was a specially chosen holiday home in the exact location we wanted fronting the famous cockleshell beach where the plane lands once or twice a day.Read More

Dickel Steps in the Rye
- October 26, 2012 |
- By Jack Bettridge
The newest rye in the burgeoning market for spicy, brown goods is a bit of curveball: George Dickel Rye Whisky, a distiller better known for its sweet Tennessee Sour Mash Whisky. But the new, five-year-old rye, which will be available at the end of November, packs a whopping 95 percent rye in its grain makeup.
While Dickel's latest entry will share its charcoal-filtering method, it is distilled and aged in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, before being shipped to Plainfield, Illionois, where it is chilled and charcoal-filtered in sugar maple prepared at the Dickel facility in Tullahoma, Tennessee. George Dickel Tennessee Sour Mash Whisky is made solely in Tennessee. In the case of the Sour Mash Whisky, the liquid is charcoal-filtered before it is aged. Diageo, the parent company, has also had its Bulleit brand of rye distilled in Lawrenceburg even while Bulleit Bourbon is made in Kentucky.
John Lunn, the Dickel master distiller said that the 95 percent rye mashbill was chosen to be in keeping with the historical roots of rye, which called for a much larger rye portion than is currently typical of the whiskey that has had a great resurgence in the last few years. "We wanted to make sure that we were not just part of fad."
For George Dickel, a spirits maker since 1870, this is its only divergence from an exceedingly corn-rich mashbill of 84 percent corn, 8 percent malted barley, and 8 percent rye. By law, straight-rye whiskey must have at least 51 percent rye in its grain recipe. The Dickel rye contains no corn (the remaining five percent is barley). Typically, rye adds spice to whiskey and corn brings sweetness. Barley is used to help the mixture turn to fermentable sugars.
If not unique, a charcoal-filtered rye is exceptionally rare. But it is in keeping with the Dickel tradition. Tennessee sour-mash whiskey is the term that describes Dickel's other products (No. 8, No. 12 and Barrel Select). That style is very similar to Bourbon in that it requires a mashbill with a minimum 51 percent corn and that it be a straight whiskey (aged in new, charred-oak barrels). The Tennessee designation comes with the Lincoln County process, a filtering for mellowness in charcoal made from sugar maple. Dickel and Jack Daniel's are the only two major producers of that style of whiskey.
While rye whiskey emerged from settlers on the East Coast in Pennsylvania and Maryland, its vast majority is now born of Bourbon makers in Kentucky. However, a newfound popularity for spicy whiskey has craft distillers making small amounts of rye throughout the country, with a couple of them in Tennessee.
The new Dickel rye is part of a resurgence for the venerable distiller. The distillery at Cascade Hollow in Tullahoma, Tennessee, was shuttered in 1999, as demand failed to keep up with supply. In 2003, new interest in whiskey caused the company to reopen the plant and it was faced with shortages before new spirits could be brought to sufficient maturity. A new brand, Cascade Hollow, with less age, was introduced as a stopgap measure for shortages.
Since 2003, Dickel has also bottled Barrel Select, using whiskies of 10 to 12 years of age, alongside No. 8 (four to six years) and No 12. (eight to 10).
Some of the hallmarks of the George Dickel methods are that the new-make spirits are chilled before filtering, the aging is done in short-stack warehouses of one story to maintain consistent temperature and the warehouses are located on hilltops to promote air circulation. The closing of the distillery also meant it hasn't gone through modernization, and the staff takes pride in its handmade methods, lacking computerization.
(Tasting notes and cigar pairings on next page)
George Dickel Rye Whisky (90 proof or 45 percent alcohol by volume, $29.99)
APPEARANCE: Dark honey color with skinny, slow legs.
NOSE: Alluring mixture of sweet and spice at first blush. Some olive oil oozes in to be replaced by honey and the slightest bits of menthol and citrus.
PALATE: The first impression is gobs of mellow, doughy rye bread. Then comes the flush of spice, followed by a fruity sweetness. Once again: a fascinating combination in a rye that shows an urge to be all things to all whiskey drinkers.
The finish is more candied, then slowly returns to the rye bread and
takes on the character of a doughy, but sweet pastry.
CIGAR PAIRING: La Duena Petit Robusto ($7.50, 90 points, October 23 issue of Cigar Insider) Dark and streaky, this veiny robusto is earthy and spicy with touches of cedar and mint. Cinnamon-sugar sweetness and a touch of leather add complexity. The rye enlivens the spice content of the cigar, while also heightening the sugars. The cigar gives back by further rounding out the breadiness in the whiskey.
Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series Maduro Exclusivo ($11, 91 points, September 11 issue of Cigar Insider) Rolled and pressed with a dark, attractive wrapper, this cigar has a slightly firm draw but dead even burn. Its herbal start warms to show coffee, spice and earth. The Padrón shows off its nutty charms when paired with the Dickel, which just gets spicier. There's a wonderful gutsy, meaty quality to this pairing that is hard to attribute specifically to either participant.

A Gorham man died late Wednesday night in a motorcycle crash in front of 4181 Turner Road in Gorham, Ontario County sheriff�s deputies said.
Deputies said Andrew T. Chard, 27, of 4031 state Route 247, was traveling east on Turner Road shortly before 11:30 p.m. when he lost control of his motorcycle, causing it to overturn several times and ejecting Chard.
Chard was taken by Finger Lakes Ambulance to Thompson Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, deputies said.
Deputies said the crash is under investigation, but that speed appears to be a factor.
Turner Road between state Route 364 and Middle Road was closed for about two and a half hours. Crystal Beach Fire Department assisted at the scene.

Ran up to Cibolo Creek early sat morning to put my yak in for its first real voyage fishing. Paddle up creek as far as I could and then started fishing on my way back down. The water and air temp were still a little chilly but as soon as I started paddling it warmed up quick. There are pics of the the creek and some springs and the fish. Last one might be the biggest bass I have ever caught from shore or yak!
