Friday January 13, 2012
– A reminder to residents in the Urban Services District (old city limits) that there will be no garbage, recycling or yard waste collection on Monday, Jan 16, 2012 due to the Martin Luther King Day holiday. Service for residents with Monday collection will resume the following week, Monday, Jan. 23, 2012.
Residents with Tuesday-Friday garbage and recycling collections days should place their items out for pickup on their regular collection days.
Typically, following a Monday holiday, garbage, yard waste and recycling collections for the remainder of the week is delayed a day, however, there will be no holiday "day-delay" service next week.
Metro Public Works officials made the decision to eliminate the day delay service following only the New Year's Day and Martin Luther King Day holidays, back in May during the city's budget hearings. It will save an estimated $50,000 in overtime spending.
Residents outside the Urban Services District should contact their private waste hauler for their holiday schedule.
For questions about holiday collection or 2012 collection days, please call MetroCall 311 or use the QuickFind tool on the homepage of www.louisvilleky.gov.

3 Crowd-Pleasing, Low-Cal Desserts
Pages in this Story:
- Old-Fashioned Fudge Cake
- Spiced Chocolate Mousse
- Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Berries
Old-Fashioned Fudge Cake
Makes: 16 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 40 minutesIngredients
Nonstick cooking spray
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for coating the pan
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
4 egg whites from large eggs
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup finely grated beets, loosely packed
8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons nonfat milkDirections
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the center position. Mist a 10-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and coat lightly with flour.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, yogurt, egg whites, and olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Stir in beets and then the flour mixture until just incorporated.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes, until cake is slightly domed in the center and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool 20 minutes. Then run a knife around the edge and invert the cake directly onto the rack; let cool completely, about 1 hour.
- While cake is cooling, make the frosting. Using a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and butter on medium speed until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Sift in powdered sugar and cocoa powder; continue to mix, starting on low speed and increasing to medium as sugar is incorporated, until frosting is completely smooth. Reduce speed to low and add vanilla extract and milk, mixing until incorporated.
- Use a spatula to frost the top of cake first, starting at the center and pushing frosting out to the sides. Frost sides. Cut cake into 16 slices before serving.

I don't have the skills for an entry level position as a .Net programmer. I am trying to learn what I need but there is too much to learn and too little time. What can I do?
About two months ago, I went to a job interview for an entry level C# .Net programming/consultant position in NYC. When I heard back from them, they told me that the knowledge gap between what I knew and what they needed me to know was too big and I might have been a better fit if I had 6 months of experience. This was the first interview that I went on since graduating college. before the interview, I read a book on visual C#. Turns out it wasn't a very good book and I was missing a lot of key areas of knowledge such as
- ADO.net
- SQL (I had learned some LINQ)
- A little bit about how memory is handled
- Multiple threaded programming, etc.
Because the book wasn't very good, the stuff I did know, I didn't know very well.
I felt crushed. I've applied for jobs to gain experience but when recruiters hear that I have no experience they lose interest. I figured that I can at least work on my knowledge. Since then, I read "SQL Essentials" to cover the SQL bit and I found a pretty awesome book that is good enough to clear up what's hazy in my mind and covers almost all of the extra topics. The book is "C# 4.0: The Complete Reference" by Herbert Schildt. I'm even learning a lot about the topics I was familiar with. For a month now I've been working my way through this beast of a book.
However, gaining the knowledge I need is taking too long. I can't hold off not having a full-time job much longer. I'm not stupid and I'm studying constantly pouring through the book, asking questions on stackoverflow, referencing the C# specification, etc. I have made great progress but there is just too much ground to cover. I'm on chapter 12 which is about a 3rd through the book. To get an idea of what I know vs don't know, the table of contents is on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/C-4-0-The-Complete-Reference/dp/007174116X
How on earth can someone know enough to function as a programmer in the real world?
Can I try for a job in academia? Will I have time to finish learning the rest of the C# language or am I just un-hireable?

CONYERS - Former Air Force Col. Lee Ellis, who spent time with Republican presidential candidate John McCain as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, will be the guest speaker at the Rockdale County Republican Party meeting Saturday.Ellis will be in Rockdale County to campaign for his friend in the final three weeks of the campaign. A member of a grassroots organization called Georgia Veterans for John McCain, he has spoken to several groups across the state and in the region endorsing McCain as president. Ellis will speak at the local Republican Party's monthly meeting at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Honey Creek Golf Club located at 635 Clubhouse Drive. The public is invited to attend. A veteran of 53 combat missions during the Vietnam War, he was shot down about two weeks after McCain. Both men spent five years in confinement and endured torture from their North Vietnamese captors before they were released in 1973. Local Republican organizers said Ellis will talk about his time in Vietnam and stump for McCain's campaign. Ellis, 64, is senior vice president of RightPath Resources in Suwanee, a consulting firm that helps companies manage, develop and retain employees. Ellis' military decorations include two Silver Stars, the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star with Valor device and the Purple Heart for service as a combat pilot and POW. He retired in 1989 as head of the Air Force ROTC program at the University of Georgia. Jay Jones can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

A brother and sister from Bonita Springs were found dead at a Puerto Rican hotel. Investigators say they believe the brother shot his little sister before killing himself.
Ken Skizas worked with both 32-year-old Thomas Radcliffe and 28-year-old Kimberly Radcliffe for a combined nine years at Calypso Car wash in Naples. Kimberly worked as a part time cashier and Thomas was the detail manager.
Skizas said he could not believe the news when he heard what happened. He says he and other co-workers are now trying to figure out what could have gone wrong to make this brother allegedly shoot his sister then take his own life over the weekend.
The two were found Sunday in the upscale San Juan Water Beach Club Hotel in the Isla Verde tourist district.
"It's not the Tom I thought I knew or any of us thought we knew," Skizas said. "They had a great relationship. They would tease each other and joke around and sometimes get rough but they were brother and sister."
But when Thomas lost out on a detailing job in Punta Gorda, Skizas says he took the company truck and took off two weeks before his last day at the car wash.
"Everything came crashing down and he found out he wasn't going to get the job," he said. "He just quit coming to work. He just did not show up one day."
Thomas lived in a gated Bonita Springs community. But he told Skizas he was visiting family in Sarasota and would bring the truck back.
Skizas realized that was a lie after getting a chilling text from Thomas.
"That was a fabrication and that life came crashing down on him and he was sorry," Skizas remembered.
It wasn't until Monday that the father of the siblings called Skizas and told him what happened.
"I have a son and daughter and couldn't imagine that in my wildest dreams," Skizas said.
Now those who knew this brother and sister are left wondering how this could have happened.
"I didn't see anything that would drive any human being to that point in his life anyway," Skizas said.
As for the company car, Skizas says Thomas told him he left it at Miami International Airport. When Skizas called MIA, they told him the car had been there for 11 days.
According to reports, Thomas and Kim were only in Puerto Rico for a week.

"Some parts great"
First of all George Guidall is my favorite narrator and as narrator for Les Mis he is nothing short of amazing.
Now for my less than stellar review. Some parts of this book were very interesting well written and moving. However I am not cerebral enough to enjoy all of the philosophizing and long ramblings. Very long book and to me disjointed. Even George, who would make a dictionary interesting, could not keep me going.
"Great writing"
This book captivated me from the start. When I recognize great writing and a great story I feel like I am using my spare time to good purpose. Set in 1699 this is an historic novel with graphic realism. Not knowing the author I did now know how the ending would work out. I now have the sequel ready to download.
"Great young adult novel for adults too"
This was a great novel meant for young adults or younger. Not as rich or intense as Harry Potter but an enjoyable read. I am an adult and would defiantly listen to others in the series.
"Five stars start to finish"
Great story wonderfully written and narrated. One of my favorite fiction audio books. Action, mystery, well developed characters and many intrigues. Reginald Hill is a writer I had not heard from but I will be purchasing his other books.
"Five stars and could not understand half"
If your a genius theoretical physicist you might understand most of this book. If you could not understand half of it like me you might still wish to listen and enjoy it. The science and math explanations were completely over my head. However listening to them was important. It made me realize how brilliant this man was in a time when computers were not in existent. This is a biography of one of the greatest individuals in history. Not just a mega genius but an approachable funny likeable man whose theories have changed and are still changing the world. Listen to this book!
"Ammazing book"
Jim Harrison is one of the best writers I have ever listened to. Brown Dog will forever be in my memory as one of the most unique individuals ever created in literature. How a writer could create such a detailed three dimensional character as BD is nothing short of genius. This is also a wonderfully engaging book with many unique characters, both human and animal, and upstate Michigan rural adventure. Lots of trout fishing, hunting and bawdy sex. Listen to this book!!!
"Entertaining and well written"
Tess Gerritsen is a very good writer. This story is well developed with nice twists. Tanya Eby narrates this book very well with nice separations of characters.
"Great writer"
I love Adrian McKinty's writing. His Dead novels are among my favorites. I think he is a little out of his element writing a semi young adult SF series. Doyle is a great narrator and the book as a whole was entertaining. I will be finishing the series but hope McKinty goes back to his forte.
This book is different. Weird book about weird people. I saw and enjoyed the movie and thought I would give the book a try. Could not finish. I guess the movie did not dwell so much on the well (physically that is) people enjoying going to meetings for people with rare terminal diseases and pretending to be one of them. Colby was a good narrator.
"New perspective"
This book gives an Australian perspective with regards to the war in Papua New Guinea and the unbelievable courage by the Australians under unbelievable hardships. The Australian soldiers being needlessly sacrificed by the ignorance and ineptitude of generals MacArthur and Blamey was unforgivable. Very well researched and narrated.
"NIce short read"
This was a nice read for wasting time. Not deep but not boring. Need to say more so that I can summit.

Luke Bryan played for 75,242 fans Saturday night at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. That crowd was the biggest audience Luke has ever performed for in his career, and it's also the second-largest crowd in the rodeo's history. This performance was Luke's second time performing at the rodeo and his first time headlining the show.
He said from the stage, "I grew up dreaming of playing the Houston Rodeo. To sell this place out on a Saturday night is a country boy's dream!"
Luke's Dirt Road Diaries tour continues this weekend with shows in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- An Ohio woman is suing Frontier Airlines, the FBI, and others over alleged racial discrimination at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after a flight on the tenth anniversary of the September 11th attacks.
Shoshana Hebshi, who is of Jewish and Arab descent, claims she was forced off the plane, strip searched, and jailed for four hours. The American Civil Liberties Union represents Hebshi and she says the litigation should force changes.
Two men in Hebshi's row were questioned about what other passengers believed was suspicious activity, but the Sylvania woman had no association with them.

Tantallon 1932
- Scottish Art
This print is the last landscape Cameron made, and it shows a panoramic view of Tantallon Castle sitting at the shores of the Firth of Forth. Tantallon is on the East Lothian coast, some eight miles south of Haddington. The castle was built by William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas, in about 1350. It was the scene of many battles over the centuries. In 1651 Cromwell sent an army to attack the castle, and after twelve days of bombardment much of it was destroyed. The castle was then abandoned as a fortress and residence, and sold to the Dalrymple Family in 1699. It was taken into state care in 1924, and is now maintained by Historic Scotland.

Dwight Houston and Ethan Brightman are in love. Nothing could ever come between them, not until the car accident. Ethan loses all memory of being with Dwight but can love truly conquer all? Can Dwight find a way to trigger Ethan's memories?
Meanwhile, Ethan is struggling with strange feelings he never thought he'd have. He's drawn to Dwight and knows thaat there is something important there, something he'd forgetting, something just out of reach. If he could just figure out what it was.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8
The first night without Ethan was hard. The second was worse. The third was torture. As the days went on, it only got worse. He needed more than to just see Ethan. He needed to touch him. He needed Ethan to touch him. He needed Ethan to whisper in his ear and kiss his neck and make him special. Ethan was the only one who could make him feel like he wasn't so alone anymore.
There was so much tension building up in him and he was having trouble taking it anymore. He was trying to be really sensitive about things but when Ethan leant over, or stretched, his shirt would ride up and show Dwight that perfect sliver of skin. He was used to being able to touch that. He was used to pulling him into his arms and kissing him until Ethan dragged him off into his room and gave him so much more.
He wanted more. He needed it, craved it. It was crazy to want that at that point. He wanted to taste Ethan. He wanted to kiss him, and hold him, yes, but he wanted to run his fingers over his skin, and to make him feel alive. Dwight wanted to return the favour. So one day when Ethan was coming back from the showers, still dripping wet, Dwight snapped. The need became too much. He couldn't force himself on Ethan though. He wouldn't do that to him.
So he locked his door and he laid out in his bed, trying to pretend Ethan was there. It was never the same, and he hadn't done this in such a long time. He'd never needed to. Ethan was always there. Dwight was used to Ethan's body feeling, his fingers feeling their way over him and gentle kisses.
So that's what he imagined. He closed his eyes and it was like Ethan was there. He could almost feel it. Ethan towering over him with that smug little smile of his. Dwight smiled faintly, imagining Ethan's breath ghosting over his cheek. He kept his eyes closed, just imagining Ethan there, brushing kisses along his jaw.
Dwight sighed softly as it reached his neck, tilting his head slightly and biting his lip. He wanted it to be real. He wanted Ethan there with him. He wanted to make Ethan feel as special as Ethan always made him feel. He needed it. He stretched out slightly, sighing again as he imagined Ethan's lips finding the perfect spot, the spot they always found and grazing his teeth there. It felt so good when Ethan did that and he always managed to do it.
He wasn't even focusing on a particular image anymore, he wasn't sure where he was going with it. He just knew he had to keep going. It felt so good and he'd missed it. Sure, it wasn't the same, but it was the closest thing Dwight was going to get, at least for now.
He pretended his hands were Ethan's as they moved along his sides, slowly creeping under his shirt. It made him shiver, biting down just a little harder on his lip. Ethan took everything slow with Dwight. He wasn't sure why. He guessed it was the Tweedle's way of teasing him. He made every moment last as long as possible. That was most of the time, anyway.
Sometimes Dwight would catch him off guard. Sometimes Dwight would grab Ethan and press him to the wall. Sometimes he'd kiss Ethan hard, and rough and let his hands roam over his body, his own smirk appearing on his lips. Times like those were different. Times like those, Ethan would grab Dwight and it was all urgency. He'd all but rip Dwight's clothes off him, wanting to feel and explore and torture Dwight for what he did. Those were the times when Ethan didn't care so much about teasing.
Dwight liked it either way, but he was so used to the slow torture of Ethan's fingers, that was what he really wanted above everything else. He didn't care if made him ache with need, waiting, slowly torturing himself, that's what Ethan would do, so that's what he did.
As his hands moved over his chest, he let his fingers catch as they brushed over a nipple, his breath hitching. It was all foreplay. That's was another thing he loved about Ethan; how long he could make foreplay last. It was all a game for Ethan, to see how long Dwight could last before he started begging. It didn't take long usually, which just made Ethan want to go on for a little longer.
Dwight rubbed the pad of his thumb over his nipple, groaning softly, his back arching into the touch without even thinking. He did everything he could to make it feel like Ethan's fingers, trying to match the technique the Tweedle usually used. He slowly pushed his shirt further up, slipping it off and arched his back further into the touch, letting his nails dig into his skin just a little as he ran his fingers down his sides.
Ethan did that all the time. He'd roll his hips down into Dwight's at the same time and just thinking about it was enough to cause Dwight to moan, his own hips rolling forward, craving friction. Ethan was always so good at all this. Dwight needed Ethan to teach him. He was new to everything and Ethan had always been patient, but by this point, Dwight just wanted every touch, he knew what to expect.
His fingers traced just about the waistband of his pants, a soft whine spilling from his lips. He wanted more. He wanted to give in and just let go but he wouldn't. That's not the way Ethan would've done it. Ethan was all about subtly driving him crazy and that's exactly what Dwight was going to do. He let his fingers brush over his thighs, groaning as his hips impulsively rocked forward once more.
This was always the point where he'd start to beg. He'd mewl softly, scratching his fingers down Ethan's back and beg for him to hurry up, beg for him to touch him. Ethan would always say he already was and Dwight would want to wipe that smug grin right off his face but he was already far too preoccupied with the fingers moving back up his thighs, palming him through the fabric of his pants. He applied just the right amount of pressure, throwing his head back and groaning softly.
He wasn't sure where he was going with it anymore. He just needed to keep touching and feeling and moaning at the thought of Ethan's hands on him. He needed to keep that image in his mind because the thought of Ethan never doing this to him again was too much to bear.
Slowly, Dwight let his fingertips brush under the waistband of his pants, scratching his thumbs over his hipbones and groaned once more. Ethan usually bit those. He'd bite down hard, sucking on his skin until they bruised and then he'd growl softly into Dwight's skin, murmuring, "Mine."
Dwight moaned just thinking about it, arching his back once more, "Mmm…"
He rubbed his thumbs gently over his hips before slowly slipping down his pants. This seemed to be Ethan's favourite bit. There was always this pause where Ethan would take it all in, every time. It was like the first time all over again and Ethan always needed to take a moment to look Dwight up and down. The first few times it unnerved Dwight. Now it just seemed to turn him on a little more as the anticipation would bubble up inside of him.
Dwight paused, running his fingers over his thighs again. He bit his lip as he dug his nails harshly into his skin, groaning under his breath. Ethan would do that every time. He was better at it though. He dug them in furter, almost enough to make Dwight cringe but not quite. Just enough to leave marks. It was like he always knew exactly how much pressure and exactly Dwight liked and exactly where to touch him.
Dwight waited a moment more. He wanted to make the moment last. He wanted to make sure he was doing it just like Ethan would before he finally brushed one finger along his length from the base to the tip, his breath catching in his throat as he did. That felt amazing every time Ethan did that. Again, he couldn't help but wish it really was him, brushing his thumb over the tip.
Brushing his fingers over himself, he slowly stroked, gasping and letting the moans escape his lips. He kept imagining slightly larger hands on him, stroking him, taking it slow and making it last. He bit his lip harder, unable to stop himself from thrusting into his hand, groaning, "Mmm Ethan…"
Dwight flicked his wrist just enough as he stroked himself, gasping and throwing his head back, moaning louder this time as he pictured Ethan towering over him, biting his neck, whispering into his ear, driving him insane. It was all about Ethan in moments like those. Ethan may have been the one pleasuring him, but Ethan was all Dwight could think about. Everything else fell to incoherency, everything but the Tweedle pushing him further and further towards the edge.
Dwight's strokes became firmer, pumping faster and thrusting into his hand again, and again. It felt good, to release the tension but it wasn't the same. He wanted Ethan and this just wasn't him. He needed to feel the blonde's breath along his neck and his lips against his skin. He needed to scratch his nails down Ethan's back and to kiss him roughly as he moved his hips into his hand. Instead he had this, at least until he figured out how to make Ethan see he needed him.
Dwight could feel te familiar warmth coil in his stomach but he wanted it to last a little longer. He wanted to keep thinking about Ethan stroking him, Ethan's smug grin, and the way he'd kiss him soft and slowly when they finished. He wanted that so badly but he knew he couldn't have it and as one final stroke sent him over the edge, crying out Ethan's name, Dwight felt kind of numb.
He melted into the sheets, reaching for a tissue to clean himself and again, taking it slow, just as Ethan would. It hurt a little though, laying there like that. Usually Ethan would be there and he'd crawl into his arms. He'd whisper, 'I love you' into his lips and that's where they'd stay, usually just looking into each other's eyes. Dwight grabbed Ethan's pillow and hugged it tightly, keeping his eyes closed. He did all he could to imagine it was Ethan. He knew it wasn't. It wasn't the same but it felt nice for a little while. He felt a little less alone.
He buried his face in the pillow, pretending it was Ethan's shoulder and took a deep breath, sighing happily as he took in Ethan's scent, "Mmm…"
He hugged the pillow a little tighter, keeping his eyes closed and nuzzling the pillow impuulsively. He always did that with Ethan, it felt right to do it then. He wanted it to feel real, so he did everything he could to make it feel real. Still, as he closed his eyes, imagining as much as he could, he could almost feel Ethan's arms wrapped firmly around him. It was nice. It made him feel safe and in that moment, he found himself slowly drifting to sleep.
Dwight knew he was dreaming, but it was a nice dream. As he wrapped his arms further around the boy in front of him, he sighed happily, kissing his shoulder, "I love you."
The Tweedle holding him close grinned, kissing Dwight's head and running his hand along his back, "I love you too, Dwight. I always will."
Dwight bit his lip, looking up at him sadly, "But you don't anymore. You said you didn't."
Ethan ran a hand into Dwight's hair, soothing him and Dwight sighed happily, leaning into the touch. Ethan kissed Dwight's neck softly, "I know I don't think I do, but I do. Give me some time, okay? Sooner rather than later, we'll be like this again."
Ethan grinned, brushing their noses together and Dwight felt butterflies fill his stomach, closing the gap between them and kissing him softly. It felt so nice, so familiar and he couldn't stop himself wrapping an arm around Ethan's neck and deepening the kiss, wanting it to last as long as possible.
Dwight knew it was a dream but he was so desperate for that shred of affection from Ethan, he needed it to last. It was just one night, but it was the tiny boost he needed, even if in the morning, he'd wake up all alone.

Thumak Chalat Ram Chandra
Lyrics & Chords
Here I am back after almost 1 month :). My last song was stuti on the start of navratra. Somehow I was not able to upload a song on dussera. Dussera is about victory of Lord Ram. This bhajan is for Bal Sri Ram describing child Ram beautifully. Pardon me for my mistakes done in the bhajan. I only heard my mom singing this one so sung in her style :)
Thumak chalat raamachandra
Thumak chalat raamachandra
Baajat painjaniyaan
Kilaki kilaki uthat dhaay girat bhuumi latapataay
Dhaay maat god let dasharath kii raniyaan
Aanchal raj ang jhaari vividh bhaanti so dulaari
Tan man dhan vaari vaari kahat mridu bachaniyaan
Vidrum se arun adhar bolat mukh madhur madhur
Subhag naasikaa men chaaru latakat latakaniyaan
Tulasidaas ati anand dekh ke mukhaaravind
Raghuvar chhabi ke samaan raghuvar chhabi baniyaan

Hey Swati…. you did it very nice without music and in a classic way…. glad upon my listen here…. keep sharing like that.
Sudha Kumar (back to listen to all of you..) said
Very nice, dear Swati. This is a beautiful Ram bhajan – one of my most favs, about how Lord Rama takes his first steps… very nice peaceful singing- I will suggest here to sing this bhajan with a set shruti scale (slightly lower than this scale) so you can express better control.
Keep it up dear!
The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't. ~Henry Ward Beecher
Satish Murti said
…love this Bhajan very much… thanks for hosting it…. reminds me of the ole days… might I suggest you pick a comfortable pitch and sing in a more full throated way… this way it would bring out the real potential… needless to add, love your attitude and spirit…
A word of constructive criticism is worthier than ten words of appreciation…

I have got 1 suggestion for your weblog. It appears like right now there are a handful of cascading stylesheet problems when launching a selection of web pages within google chrome and opera. It is running alright in internet explorer. Possibly you can double check this.

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.

Colour: A rich golden amber.
Nose: Complex, sherried, deliciously peated, light butterscotch aromas, with a hint of dried fruit.
Flavour: Full bodied with super balance of sherried sweetness, malty tones and peaty flavours.
Finish: Long lasting, gloriously sherried, sweet, gently smoky, and distinguished.
Comment: With greater complexity than our younger whiskies, this is a great whisky drinker's whisky. We bottle this at 46% simply because my grandfather preferred it at this strength. It's still a family favourite.
Nose: Sugared raisins, honey and a big cinnamon spicy hit.
Palate: Buttery with brown sugar, allspice, more cinnamon and the rest of the brown ground spices hiding at the back of the cupboard.
Finish: Long, with sweet grapes, more spice, brown butter and the ever present cinnamon tingle.
Comment: The story goes that this is bottled at 46% as a nod to one of the earlier George Grants, who wanted to balance the taste of the whisky against getting enough out of a special Christmas release to go around the entire family. Whatever the reason, the higher strength gives this a bit more oomph, which along with the Christmas cake, dried fruit and spiciness makes this a fantastic winter dram, and an excellent sherried all-rounder.
On the nose we find fruitcake, raisins, honey, crystallised ginger, orange marmalade, mixed peel, heather and cake spices like cinnamon and clove. The palate is medium-full and silkily-texured and continues with the flavours from the nose all on a base of polished oak, leading to a very smooth, long finish.

Massa Lubrense is a delightfully scenic rural region on the coast of Campania, Italy. With over 20kms of pristine Mediterranean Coastline and more than 100km of marked hiking trails in the rugged Campanian countryside, self catering Massa Lubrense accommodation is the perfect place to escape into the great outdoors, enjoy the atmosphere and partake in the sport of Massa Lubrense. The region offers a chance to discover 'real' Italy as it is not nearly as developed as many destinations in Italy, keeping the countryside natural and the towns and resorts truly Italian, with the natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast yet remaining void of the crowds.
There is a magnificent range of recreation in Massa Lubrense, mainly focused around the stunning, untouched countryside and the glorious beaches which line the edge of the Mediterranean. The rocky hills which create much of the interior of the prefecture are the ideal location to walk, mountain bike and ride, offering delightful views over the Bay of Naples and the Amalfi Coast.
As with the rest of the Neapolitan Riviera, the beaches of Massa Lubrense are the envy of many beach resorts around Europe. The beaches of Massa Lubrense offer all the beauty of the Amalfi Coast beaches without the crowds. Water sports in Massa Lubrense are particularly popular from self catering Massa Lubrense villas, especially sailing, windsurfing and scuba diving. With 20kms of coastline which forms part of the huge Punta Campanella Protected Marine area, Massa Lubrense diving is some of the best in northern Italy.
Massa Lubrense accommodation is a hub of culture and sport. There are no less than 7 nationally renowned Massa Lubrense restaurants, all of which serve delightful cuisine conjured from the finest local produce, washed down with the fine wine gathered from across Campania.
Massa Lubrense accommodation is perfectly located for exploration of the main sightseeing and cultural centres of western Italy. Within 3 miles of a Massa Lubrense villa are both Sorrento and the Isle of Capri, and you can be exploring the amazing sights of Pompeii, Mt Vesuvius, the Amalfi Coast or Positano within an hour of leaving the peace and tranquillity of your Massa Lubrense accommodation.
During the summer months, Massa Lubrense accommodation is priceless, as the long, warm summer days never seem to end, letting you bask in temperatures reaching the mid 30's (˚C) at their peak and staying above 25˚C until late in the evening. Spring and autumn are the favourite time for Massa Lubrense sport and recreation holidays as the temperatures are slightly more comfortable for sport, and conditions remain dry.
The proximity of Naples and the Naples International Airport (RRO) to Massa Lubrense accommodation makes reaching your final destination remarkably easy. There are a whole range of cheap flights and 'no frills' airlines going to Naples, and from the airport, there are regular busses which lead Sorrento. There are also a range of car hire companies located in Naples Airport.

You can thank the Republican party for the financial meltdown in 2008. George W Bush policies resulted in millions of Americans being without healthcare, home foreclosures skyrocketing, is epidemic bankruptcy and headlines that blared "Nightmare on Wall Street" as the country faces the worst economic crisis since the 1930s. The people who were supposed to own a vital stake in America's future by now are lucky if they still own the shirts on their backs. The ownership society - built on the shoddy foundation of corporate deregulation, unchecked lending, massive deficits and tax cuts during a time of war - has failed.

KFC ditches Colonel and bones in new restaurant
'KFC eleven' will serve boneless chicken and rice bowls to woo millennials, but does that really make it upscale?
Ever eager to show the kids that it's hip to their jive, KFC parent company Yum Brands (YUM) has decided to launch a spin-off chain that ditches the image of Colonel Harland Sanders and boned pieces of its Original Recipe Chicken. Instead, the new test outlet in Louisville, Ky., will serve the boneless chicken the company launched in April, as well as flatbread, rice bowls and salad.
Yum doesn't want to turn off millennials who associate the brand with old things and a pile of bones, so it's trying to forge an identity that clicks with a generation that's increasingly choosing Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) and Panera Bread (PNRA) over other fast food.
That new KFC eleven identity -- named for KFC's secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices -- may change what the young folks think, but it may just as likely make them wonder why they can't get a Big Gulp-size drink with their six-piece meal.
We understand that sub-branding is all the rage right now in a very confused fast-food landscape. McDonald's (MCD) has its McCafe, Burger King (BKW) toyed with Whopper bars, but KFC eleven poses a unique challenge for Yum Brands, whose approach to this tactic has been to lump its Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell brands into hybrid restaurants. That approach has become such a fixture in American consumer culture that the group Das Racist turned a song called "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" into an online hit.
In that context, KFC eleven sure sounds like a place where hungry late-night eaters could snag some chicken, a Big Bite hot dog, a tankard of the sugary drink of their choice and a lottery ticket, doesn't it? But for the record, 7-Eleven isn't a Yum Brands subsidiary and will likely suggest a name change for this franchise after the test location opens in August.
We realize that KFC is playing to a generation that has never known a world without a boneless McNugget, but it's also ignoring the fact that boned chicken is actually doing well in places that aren't ashamed to serve it. KFC says it's just following the lead of DineEquity's (DIN) Applebee's and Darden's (DRI) Red Lobster, which have taken a similar approach. But both of those chains have had their customers plucked by Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD +0.43%), which has turned extremely bony chicken bits into a thriving business in a slumping casual-dining category.
With even the McNugget slingers at McDonald's flirting with chicken wings, and with bony chicken outlets like Pollo Tropical taking off, KFC's attempt at upscale casual dining reminds millennials and other customers what "upscale" really means in restaurant business jargon: a shameless grab for disposable income.
This is a Chinese Company, not Kentuckian. No Kentuckian would be caught dead eating a bowl of rice, flat bread and a salad. Get real! If the Chinese hat the menu so damn much, then why did these ****s buy the company? So you could introduce people to eating bowls of rice with flatbread?
Get real... This isn't China and KFC is utterly dead until YUM Brands sells out and gets out. Peking, go to hell.
I went to my local KFC to get an bucket of bone less chicken like I had done on another occasion. I didn't see it on the menu (it hadn't been previously, either) and asked if they had a boneless bucket. I was told yes, but there would be a 25 cent surcharge PER PIECE!!!!! I told them never mind and drove out. On another occasion a couple of months ago, I gave my order and asked for a SMALL soda and was told that I had to buy a larger size because for some reason (no, I wasn't using a coupon) they wouldn't sell it in that size???. No amount of asking would get me the smaller size. I told them to forget the drink, I'd go next door to Carls', Jr. and get the drink, got my chicken and left.
They have just 'modernized' their building, but I'm not sure if I'll ever go inside again...
