Scotch Whiskey gift for the Scotch drinker who has everything?
Hello! I'm looking for a Scotch gift for a friend who probably has all the classics. So I'm looking for something somewhat obscure, but great that they may not have heard of. I'd like to spend under $50 but would consider more if it's fantastic :)
I was hoping some of you might have an under-appreciated favorite. I'll need to be able to order it over the internet.
Thanks so much!
I hate to be discouraging, but this is tough. First, you haven't said what he (or she) has already. A Scotch "Collector" probably has a couple dozen bottles at least, and most of them will be over $50. If he loves a "bargain" < $50 scotch, he probably already owns it.
Forging ahead anyhow...
If you think he loves smokey, peaty Islay scotches, Michel Couvreur is excellent and little-known, and on sale for $50 (plus shipping unless you can buy more an qualify for free shipping to NY and nearby states):
www.kindredcocktails.com | Craft + Collect + Concoct + Categorize + Community
re: EvergreenDan
I know -- I don't know what is in their collection, so that's why it has to be as obscure as I can find. Maybe there's something that my friend hasn't heard of? And it would be a total giveaway if I asked what they have or want! Thanks so much for the recommendation :)
re: DavidT
That's a good idea! He probably doesn't have any Irish whiskey either so I'd have a lot more freedom with that. Thanks -- those options look good!
re: kagemusha49
I think you mean Japanese single-malt whisky. At the risk of picking a nit, Scotch whisky is only made in Scotland! That being said, Japanese whisky can be very, very good.
re: DavidT
Yes a Japanese made Scotch style single malt - should appeal to a Scotchophilr
re: kagemusha49
He probably doesn't, that's a great idea too. Thanks!
re: alexisr
I would second this approach and would recommend Japanese Whisky over Irish- it's flavor profile is more similar and approachable. It does not need to be Single Malt- Hibiki is a fine blended whisky.
I ran this past the husband, he suggested The Macallan Cask Strength. A bit less well-known but your friend may well have had it. Prob $55-65 plus shipping.
I would suggest to consider whisky tasting glasses; your friend may already have these -- have you been over for some Scotch and seen if he has these? A set of four plus shipping would be in your price range.
(Vendor spells it wrong: s/be Glencairn)
re: DuchessNukem
Thanks, that one looks good! I believe he does have some whiskey glasses though as we've had Scotch with them a couple times. But maybe there's some other scotch-related things to get him, so that's a good line of thought :) Thanks!
Not sure what you mean by "all the classics", but if he likes smoky / peaty Islays this is one I have yet to try but have heard many say is worth twice the cost
re: ncyankee101
Thanks so much! That looks like a really good find. By classics I just meant the expensive go-to gift Scotches, the most popular and well-known ones. I was just hoping to dig up something a little obscure. :)
re: alexisr
The Ardbeg is definitely fairly obscure, it's a limited release and not all that easy to find. But be sure he likes the heavily peated / smoky ones such as laphroaig or Lagavulin, because they are definitely an acquired taste.
re: ncyankee101
Is Ardbeg so hard to find? I once thought it made a good gift for my friends in the U.S. and elsewhere (I am in Scotland), but then I started seeing it on all the high street shelves during my visits. Same with Caol Ila (my preferred Islay; it's lovely.)
re: Lizard
The uigeadail that I linked to in the post above is not easy to find.
I like Caol ila 12 yr quite a bit, I find it has a similar profile to Lagavulin though not quite as intense. I found a couple bottles on closeout in PA for $29 US and was quite happy.
Depending upon where you live, ordering off the internet may NOT be available to you. That said, I'd check out the private and/or independent bottlings at D&M -- http://dandm.com/scotch-whisky.html -- or at K&L -- http://www.klwines.com/content.asp?N=...
re: zin1953
Awesome. Private/Independent bottlings could be perfect. Thanks!
re: alexisr
I'd definitely recommend the Bunnahabhain 12 year. It's a lovely whisky.
Dont know if they ship to where your at but one of these would cover all of your bases:
re: evansp60
oh wow! Those look fantastic. Thanks so much!
re: evansp60
Yes, well -- if the OP does not reside in the UK, then what?
re: pacheeseguy
Another idea. Maybe a Blended Scotch. A good obscure, inexpensive one is Hankey- Bannister that works neat, on the Rocks, or in cocktails and is purportedly the favorite of Sir Winston Churchill. Make for a great story with the gift. Around $15-22!
re: shoes
Well, in an ideal situation, you would give him a bottle of whiskey made by a craft distiller in the US that is NOT for sale in the UK. There are dozens available . . . it all depends upon your budget, and what's available in your area.
Examples of what I mean would include:
-- http://www.stgeorgespirits.com/st-geo...
-- http://hudsonwhiskey.com/whiskeys/
-- http://www.stranahans.com/home/
. . . . and on and on and on.
How about Green Spot? It's a limited run single pot Irish Whiskey. Supposed to be very good.
How about Scotch/Whiskey glasses if he does not have them?

A sfc ridge axis of high pressure will move across the region today. Went fairly close to bias corrected MOS guidance which in general is will slightly cooler than yesterday for high temperatures. A return flow/south wind will set up with the ridge exiting off to the east tonight. An approaching clipper low with a trailing sfc front will move across the Dakotas into western IA/eastern KS/nw MO by the end of this period (12z). Nighttime temperatures may drop off quickly early tonight but will steady off or possibly rise a bit late tonight with a south wind and increasing clouds. For the most part, expect most (if not all) accumulating snow with the approaching sfc low/front to remain off to the north through tonight, but some may minor amounts/dusting sneak into the far northern cwfa toward 12z. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 230 AM CST TUE NOV 25 2014 Overview: A gradual deamplification of the upper level pattern is expected late in the week in the wake of the minor clipper shortwave. In general expect temperatures to swing from colder than normal to warmer than normal by Friday/Saturday. A split flow pattern develops late in this period keeping the very cold air over Canada bottled up to our north, but the southern edge of the Canadian air mass is expected to reach the cwfa late Sunday into Monday. Wednesday: The clipper low and trailing sfc trough/front will move quickly through MO on Wednesday. Used a blend of three hour MOS temperatures with the coldest readings early in the day over the northeast cwfa. Some very light snow accumulation will be possible early in the day over parts of central and south central MO. Impacts? Should be minor but some slick spots could briefly develop over the northeast cwfa in the morning before temperatures warm. Temperatures look to be a bit too warm farther to the southwest toward KSGF to support any accumulation, but will watch trends. The precip exits to the east quickly in the afternoon as temperatures warm up well up into the 30s and 40s. Thursday/Thanksgiving Holiday: Quiet with a Canadian ridge of sfc high pressure moving through the area. It will be chilly, but winds will be light. Friday/Saturday: Warmer and breezy as south winds develop with high pressure shifting to the south and east and low pressure moving into the High Plains/lee of the Rockies. Some western areas might touch 60 degrees for highs as early as Friday. With more of a sw-ssw sfc wind expected Saturday, most areas will get into at least the low 60s. Sunday/Monday: The GFS and ECMWF are in reasonable agreement with the southern fringes of a Canadian air mass trying to make a push back to the south. By this time a distinct split in the mid level flow is progged, with much colder air bottled up well to the north. A frontal passage with a chance of (mostly) rain is expected Sunday/Sunday night/early Monday, but the front isn`t expected to make it too far to the south before a strong Canadian high pressure centered to our north begins to retreat off to the east late Monday. It looks to be colder Monday, but not overly so. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday Morning) Issued at 550 AM CST TUE NOV 25 2014 Surface high pressure across the plains will keep flight conditions fair into this evening with northwesterly surface winds becoming southerly through the day. High overcast will overspread the region overnight and through early Wednesday morning. an approaching low level jet will allow for low level wind shear to develop for the Joplin terminal after 09z Wednesday. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

NH diver hopes to display objects found off Granite State coast
Ray Demers of Bedford holds an Iberian jug covered with barnacles, above, and a wooden bomb found in a sunken privateer, at left. He found them while scuba diving along the New Hampshire coastline. (SUSAN CLARK PHOTO)
"When I saw the bottle, I said, 'Holy smoke, this is unbelievable.' I put my hand in and I was plucking out hundreds of bottles," said Ray Demers.
The onion bottle's seal was the link to discovering the owner of the privateer, Capt. George Jackson, an Indian fighter and son-in-law to one of the first settlers along the Piscataqua River in Maine, Col. William Pepperell.
"I have the oldest bottles discovered in this historic area," Demers said. "There's a tremendous amount of history in these waters."
The father and son also found hundreds of earthenware, pipes, bottles, mugs, cannon balls, animal bones, leather shoes, pewter ware, jars, a ship's knee and lower deadeye, a nautical divider and wooden bombs.
One of the ships was the 20-gun HMS Astrea that burned in Portsmouth Harbor in 1744. The ship was of Spanish origin but had been defeated by the British in Porto Bello in Panama in 1739.
"That's what I needed to identify the ship. The diameter of each hole tells me the size of the rope and then it tells me the size of the ship," he said. "I was trying to locate where the fire started, and because it's charred on one side it tells me the fire started in a kiln on the galley. The fire burned the rope first and the deadeye would have fallen over."
Demers and his wife of 54 years, Nancy, also have two daughters, Paula Gagne and Diane Denoncourt, both of Manchester. Nancy, a former St. Anselm College nursing instructor, was awarded three grants and traveled to Fortaleza, Brazil, with the Partners of the Americas in 1996-98, to set up an AIDS prevention program.

The invention of laws and regulations is celebrated as great success principle of societies and they are, of course, important. However, a major part of social order is based on self-organization, which builds on simple social mechanism. These mechanisms have evolved over historical times and are the basis of the success or failure of civilizations. Currently, many people oppose globalization, because traditional social mechanisms fail to create cooperation and social order under globalized conditions that are increasingly characterized by homogeneous or random interactions. However, I will show that there are other social mechanisms such as reputation systems, which will work in a globalized world, too.

Direct human influence on atmospheric CO2 seasonality from increased cropland productivity : Nature : Nature Publishing Group
Ground- and aircraft-based measurements show that the seasonal amplitude of Northern Hemisphere atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations has increased by as much as 50 per cent over the past 50 years. This increase has been linked to changes in temperate, boreal and arctic ecosystem properties and processes such as enhanced photosynthesis, increased heterotrophic respiration, and expansion of woody vegetation. However, the precise causal mechanisms behind the observed changes in atmospheric CO2 seasonality remain unclear. Here we use production statistics and a carbon accounting model to show that increases in agricultural productivity, which have been largely overlooked in previous investigations, explain as much as a quarter of the observed changes in atmospheric CO2 seasonality. Specifically, Northern Hemisphere extratropical maize, wheat, rice, and soybean production grew by 240 per cent between 1961 and 2008, thereby increasing the amount of net carbon uptake by croplands during the Northern Hemisphere growing season by 0.33 petagrams. Maize alone accounts for two-thirds of this change, owing mostly to agricultural intensification within concentrated production zones in the midwestern United States and northern China. Maize, wheat, rice, and soybeans account for about 68 per cent of extratropical dry biomass production, so it is likely that the total impact of increased agricultural production exceeds the amount quantified here.

Citizens' wellbeing is rising to the top of the political agenda in Britain. Just yesterday the government and its partners announced a What Works Centre for Wellbeing which initially has over £3.5 million over three years to investigate the d
Not too light that the work becomes unproductive, yet not too hard that it takes away from productivity. Pay decent wages with profits, even for low skilled employment, and don't sweat the short term profits so much. That's sanity and sustainability. Anything else is abuse or unsustainable.
I hypothesize that a first step to understanding how a government is working with its society is to map it out as a network relative to society. The object is to know how a government is directly and indirectly affecting a society in its present condition. From there, you can do research on how the government is affecting the parts of society it is reaching, which parts of society it is not reaching, and how it is not reaching those parts. From there, you can run computer experiments to see whether there is anything a government can do to change its structure, content, and/or behavior relative to a society and environment, thus enabling the search for optimal positions and policies that the government can take. If you can evaluate and track indicators within a society, you can effectively work to discover the society's "vital" measures, know how those are impacted by government, the environment, or the society's agents themselves.
It should be noted that economic indicators are lumped into the social indicators automatically and are considered a measure of the society's vitality, potential, sustainability, and survivability. Economies are networks as well and can be integrated into the larger social network graph as a "layer" that can be added to the overall graph. This can hypothetically be an integrated "overview" layer of the social world, kind of like how we can map out the networks of police, fire protection, healthcare, sewage, electricity, Internet, education, water, food, finance, taxation, goods, and service coverage that exists within and composes a society and it's economy independent of each other, with other parts, or all together, to get a comprehensive view of the social organism and the governmental organ relative and within the social organism.
In the end, it's all networks, overlapping, connecting, binding, flexing, and adapting to changing environmental, geological, geographical, political, social, and economic factors. The first step is to map it all out. The next step is to learn how parts affect other parts. The final step is to understand how to make those key decisions and choices within these networks such that you do the least amount of actual harm while doing the most amount of actual good. Reality is the judge; no human has that ability. The policies and actions will either work, not work, or work differently than was anticipated. Once we figure out how to map these networks and interconnected "small world" networks, we can begin to make more informed choices from government with regards to the policies we pursue, the laws and programs we draft to accomplish these policy aims, and how we enact and execute the laws and programs to maximize utility for the SOCIETY, which in turn, maximizes utility for the government and its members.
You want to govern forever?
I know that that is generally feasible, provided you've got a good heart, a good brain, a Hell of a sense of self interest, a genuine empathetic sense towards others' feelings and needs, the ability to admit mistakes and make real changes within yourself and within organizations' policies and procedures, and to communicate effectively with the lay public, such that you listen for what they need, and they actually comprehend what you're doing, why you're doing it to get those needs satisfied.
This is a BASIC model of how to develop and operate a government based on my comprehension of things as of 10/28/2014 CE. It is what will, I think, most likely stand the test of time in principle, if not entirely in practice throughout the changing conditions of humanity, its environment, and the universe as a whole. It will need to first, be accepted by the individual societies of the world before it can worked into the individual societies and cultures according to their own networked organizations and own processes of operating the network. This is not a one-size fits all solution by any stretch of the imagination. It is just a hypothesis for how to begin producing a government that operates in line with natural laws rather than on only the beliefs, sentiments, biases, opinions, and ignorance of individual human beings. Its aim is to honestly help the public in a self-interested fashion, from the perspective of the policy-maker and for the public that is served by the given government.
Map first. Study second. Experiment third. Execute fourth. Hold off all changes and experiments in practice until the first three stages are completed first.
May this benefit all living beings, on Earth, and beyond, from now, until the end of time, and beyond.

Here are some observations and insights that were shared on social media this past fortnight. I call these Friday's Finds.
"We don't see something until we have the right metaphor to let us perceive it." – Thomas Kuhn – via @tobiasmeyer
"Humans require the difficult and messy social routing protocol of trust." – Valdis Krebs @orgnet – via @voinonen
"What if sucessful projects having a plan is just survivior bias?" – @drunkcod
Half-baked ideas – by @kmpinner #PKMastery
Way cool network science.
This is a way of modeling and making sense of our world, even if it's not a perfectly accurate way of constructing our social and environmental worlds. Now, to put these techniques into practice and study, to see if we can govern and manage our world more effectively with this metaphor.
Which one are you? Superconnector, Team Player, Gatekeeper, or???
Great visuals as June Holley noted - it makes me think about all the people in a network and ideas for how to shift things even slightly to get a much more generative network going.
I honestly don't think Americans appreciate the relative seriousness of our present situation. We have dysfunctional leadership in our government from all sides, which renders our ability as a nation to function in jeopardy. Our public doesn't know what to do or how to act as the leadership cadre that it is within the society, therefore rendering all efforts to change and hold our government leadership accountable ineffectual. We're suffering from several small cuts with an increasing probability of an x event occurring, along the lines of the 2007-8 Recession or rebellion and destabilization of significant portions of our society. Nobody seems willing to accept these facts for the sake of ego and/or petty false senses of security, therefore, nothing is going to be done about them until it is too late.
America's "greatness" is not innate. It has to be produced through the efforts of the public and government leadership working together for the common goals of survival, health, well-being, and quality of life. The two cannot work against each other all the time without creating significant damage to all sides. The combative, confrontational, and anti-social, hyper-competitive American system is going to fail, and I doubt we will actually rebuild with any real lessons learned. In my view, the main culprit for this is the general public, because they are the ones who can always hold a leadership in check through voting and mass organization. However, when it comes time to follow through on such actions, the American public bumbles, stumbles, and falls right back to where they started. The leaderships in government don't make it any easier for our whole society to do better. However, if the public were motivated enough, they could rise above and overcome the members of our government.
It's our fault, America.
Your fault.
And you are not likely to hold yourself or the government to account. The public does not check the government. The government takes advantage and goes right into the arms of those who do have money and the ability to regularly participate. We've dropped the ball, America. What are we going to do about it?
Bill Gates' critique of Thomas Piketty is revealing for what it overlooks
Mr. Gates.
From what I understand, you attempt to do some good in this world with your wealth. However, from what I understand, your Foundation generally subjects its recipients to a Hellish bureaucratic process that may take away from their ability to do any real good. On top of that, your monopsony may very well have slowed the progress of software development because of your anti-social business practices.
Let me cut to the chase here, for the people who actually will read this: there is no such thing as an honorable person who has gained so much through business through denying so much to so many. If you seek to live on the charity of the rich, you are going to starve. Case in point, the top earners are actually giving less to charity than all those below them (see the Chronicle of Philanthropy study on the matter). There is no excuse for amassing so much wealth and relative power, and then dangling it over the heads of those who need it the most.
We need a social system, as opposed to the anti-social one that people like Mr. Gates uses to make their wealth. We need to make growth work for everyone, so that work pays off and people are not exploited for their labor and denied opportunities to develop their talents. Most of the mundane tasks are likely going to be done by machines anyway. What are we then to do with ourselves when labor is valued at the cost and maintenance of machines, and there are no jobs left? Will we, as a society, actually consign ourselves to the pseudo-benevolence and will of these "demi-god" wannabes? I will fight and die to defend myself and my children from such a future. My price is too high for even Mr. Gates to afford (and I do have a price, because I understand the costs of doing "business" with "people" like Mr. Gates.
Which side of the fence are you going to be on? Are you going to side with them? Or are you going to side with the rest of us actual human beings?
The choice is up to you all, America. I wish you nothing but the actual best, although I suspect you're going to lead yourselves into the actual worst before you get better.
I am prepared to fight and die for the sake of my population and my own life. What are you going to do, dear reader, when that choice comes before you?
That is all I have to say for now. Please, do what you will. I'm indifferent.
My younger brother informed me about this operating system. While I have never used it, it nevertheless struck me how similar it was in principle to how societies and, perhaps, even whole ecosystems and universes organize themselves. Even if this is not a 100% accurate model for societies and social organizations, it nevertheless seems to be an interesting method of modeling and explaining how they are, grow, develop, evolve, and function, both through the bottom-up workings of its code and its top-down programmatic functions. It is a potential way of describing and working with the complexity of social systems as interdependent, interconnected, and somewhat modular within the context of an ecological and cosmological system. This is not some hippy-dippy notion of the universe, but one that could potentially be used as a tool for scientific and evidenced-based management of ourselves, individually and collectively, within the context of our environment and our universe.
Very interesting.
Popular insurgent warfare is probably the strongest form of warfare, because it does not obey the strategies, logistical constraints, or sociological "rules" of modern warfare or the tactics of the already strong. Those who can hit and fade into the background of a society are the most powerful fighters, because those who have the military might cannot strike at them without ensuring that they themselves get hit as a result of striking at the general population from which the rebel fighters come from. The police and military become outsiders in the community. Nobody wants to side or work with them and everyone is willing to give shelter and aid to the rebel fighters. How is this? Because the public aligns with the rebel fighters rather than the police or military forces. The Federal troops are outsiders and the police are alienated from the communities they're supposed to enforce law in. This is the energy that fuels insurgent warfare; not money, or resources. If you want to defeat the rebels definitively, you must make sure that they (the rebels) are the ones who are self-alienating forces. Make sure that you maintain good relations with the general public and, quite frankly, out-govern the rebels.
Government, in any of its forms, must compete with the various factions of society who wish to dismantle it and establish their own order in society. It is not a monetary competition, but a non-monetary one, where the measure of success is significantly more complex and complicated than the measure of success for businesses and personal profiteers. These are life and death stakes, literally, in some cases. Please, do not underestimate the influence and power of the society that you are governing WITHIN (not over) when you are making your policy choices and decisions.
Please. I don't want to be compelled to fight against the government and its members for the sake of preserving this society. I WILL join the battalions who will lock horns with the current government for the sake of preserving this human society in which I live. Life is not worth living under the oppressive hand of pure financial profiteering logic. I will die fighting the forces of current capitalism than live under their beliefs, logics, and philosophies as to how the world ought to be and should function. As far as I'm concerned, it's death either way for me. I might as well attempt to make my death be useful for the rest of the public than be worth nothing as a quiet and meek follower of the incorrect assumptions about how economies work and what economies are.
That is all I've got to say at this moment.
Please do not mistake me for someone who makes idle threats.
That is all.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
The disassembling of nation-states
TORONTO — Canadians who've had a surfeit of the ongoing Quebec separatism saga can take some perverse comfort in the knowledge that it's a theme that extends far beyond these shores. Scotland and Catalonia are prime examples.
The Scots even have a date for their referendum — the autumn of 2014 — cannily chosen to coincide with the 700th anniversary of the great military triumph over the English at Bannockburn. The idea is simple. Commemorative patriotic fervour will drive up the nationalist vote, thereby maximizing the prospect of a separatist victory. Call it the Scottish version of the PQ's "winning conditions."
Mind you, consistent with the universal practice of appropriating past events to bolster current political narratives, there's a bit of historical invention here. As the historian Hugh Kearney observes, Bannockburn wasn't really a conflict between Scotland and England, but "rather a struggle for power within the Norman ascendancy." Robert the Bruce versus Edward Plantagenet was really Robert de Brus versus the great-great-grandson of Henri d'Anjou.
Unlike the Scots, Catalans don't have a referendum date, or at least not one that the central government has agreed to. While Westminster has acceded to Scotland's plebiscite, Madrid has vowed to block the Catalan vote.
For voters in the entity contemplating independence, these situations can be tricky. It's a matter of balancing nationalist aspirations against concern for day-to-day practicalities, particularly those centred around economics. It's about whether you're really up to stepping into the unknown. It's about whether the heart rules the head.
But perhaps the more interesting question is what do the citizens of the entity that might be seceded from think about it all? For instance, what does the rest of the United Kingdom think about Scottish yearnings for independence? If the nationalists lose the referendum but it's abundantly clear that fear of the unknown is what's driven the result, why would the rest of the United Kingdom still want them?
Think about it like a marriage. If one spouse indicated that the marriage was merely a matter of convenience, wouldn't the mature response from the other spouse be to initiate a divorce? Yes, there'd first be an attempt to understand and assuage the discontent. But if that failed, what would be the point in preserving an unsatisfactory fiction?
Of course, in the real world of families, it's generally not that cut and dried. There are practical considerations of children and finances, the fear of being alone, social status, pride, identity, and the tug of old ties. It's the same with countries.
Just over 150 years ago, the majority of Americans decided that their union was indissoluble and fought an extraordinarily bloody civil war to preserve it. As recently as 1995, Canadians outside Quebec got caught up in an emotional wave aimed at trying to convince Quebecers to vote against separation.
Money can enter into it too. In relative terms, Catalonia is an affluent region of Spain. So, for purely material reasons, Spaniards may not be keen on the idea of it exiting.
But money clearly isn't a universal determinant. After the transitional difficulties had been navigated, the rest of Canada would be better off financially without the need to make ongoing equalization payments to Quebec. And although the United Kingdom's internal financial balances are the subject of some controversy, nobody would suggest that Scotland's departure would have a significant negative impact on those left behind.
Neither is it always about political advantage. Absent Scotland, David Cameron's Conservatives would have won a modest majority in the last British election instead of being forced into an uneasy coalition with the Liberal Democrats. And absent Quebec, Canada's political history over the last 50 years would have been mainly Conservative. Yet Conservatives in both the United Kingdom and Canada are firmly opposed to separatism.
Still, one wonders if this will continue indefinitely. A few months ago, the historian Victor Davis Hanson noted that "No entity is ensured perpetual union." Just as modern nation-states were assembled, so too can they be disassembled.
The Velvet Divorce ended Czechoslovakia in 1993. Could it be a harbinger of things to come? After all, the Czechs and the Slovaks seem to be doing alright.

My club lady with a vengeance friend has dragooned me again into doing something. I am to be a story teller at Scary Tales and Trails. I think I was the first one she called when she decided she needed story tellers, and I agreed without thinking it over much. After all, I told and acted out stories every day while I taught school. Greek myths, legends of King Arthur, Shakespeare. Anything to amuse the masses. You have to be part ham to teach school.
For those of us, who subscribe to Netflix and/or Amazon Instant Video the beginning of the month brings a new slate of material to binge-watch or not to watch at all, even when you're drunk, or lonely, or both. The month of October offers up a bunch of new movies to stream, as well as TV series to start or continue. Here's the binge-worthy for the month of October.
Have you ever thought we live in a world where often our possessions possess us. The recent release of a new IPhone demonstrated the desire of many to have the newest and latest. The forever multiplying amount of stuff we have demonstrates our weak ability to make critical choices. This is a growing trend in our world. If you look inside the beautiful houses in Covington's historical district, you will notice how much less storage there is as compared to home built in today's world. There were fewer closets and those few were much smaller. And furthermore there ...

I will have two granddaughters in middle school this year. My granddaughters are getting grownie. At the same time my body is getting groanie.
Dad gets to be king of his castle at least one day during the year. Come mid-June, children near and far scramble for ideas to treat their fathers to a special day and award him with gifts for being a role model, provider and confidante. Father's Day activities should be centered around dad's interests. With that in mind, the following are some ideas to honor dad or another special man in your life.
It is my turn to have my ladies' bridge club again.
Alice is dead. The housekeeper in the center square of mod sitcom entertainment has passed away at 88, leaving her Brady Bunch without their rudder.
Covington filming locations have grown in popularity as local businesses have capitalized on the success of popular shows and films.

My sister called me last week. We both watch Jeopardy and had been surprised that Ken Jennings did not win the Battle of the Decades on Jeopardy. She also commented on the difficulty of the answers in that Jeopardy Tournament. I agreed. I usually can guess more of the questions than I did during that tournament. But, what she called to comment on was that none of the champions in a particular game rang in and knew the question for the answer "antecedent." That's a grammar question. An antecedent is the noun that a pronoun is taking the place ...

Scallions and green onions remind me of sweat and gasoline, so is it any wonder that I retch when someone serves me a meal "flavored" with them? Mowing the grass at my Grandmother's house - decades ago when I was a kid - I would guide the old Snapper around the big yard, cutting grass and about half a million wild onions that pretended to be fescue. These obnoxious green demons would slice and dice under the mower's blade and blend with the smell of gasoline, grease, red clay, and my own sweat. As I powered the mower around the ...

I love those commercials on television that have a man impersonating an appliance. The dishwasher licks the whip, and the refrigerator complains that he must work every minute of every day while the blender sits in a cabinet and does nothing for most days of the month.

With growth coming back into the construction equipment sector, leader in the space JCB India is seeking to ride the recovery with a new range of products amid signs of optimism in the industry.
"We have geared up for enhancing our product range. We are launching new products", JCB India's Managing Director and CEO Vipin Sondhi told PTI.
The company is launching one new product each in the wheel loading, tracked excavator, crane and backhoe loader categories. "The focus is on new products", he said.
Sondhi said after 12-15 months of slowdown in the construction equipment industry since April 2008, things have started looking up in the last four months.
JCB India has gross revenues of just over Rs 3,000 crore in the calendar year 2008 and expects a flat growth in the current year.
"It's going to be flat", Sondhi said. "But we are encouraged by the fact that in the last four months, growth has started coming back to the industry".
A stimulus package, a government with development-oriented agenda, emphasis on infrastructure growth with the theme of inclusive growth and stability in commodity prices are the positive tiggers for the pullback of the industry, he opined.

Produced and Performed by Chance The Rapper, Nate Fox, Donnie Trumpet & Peter Cottontale, for Social Experiment
Chi-Town connect on this remix of Herb's "Fight Or Flight," featuring Common and Chance The Rapper.
From the supergroup project of electronic producers Boys Noize & Chilly Gonzales, Octave Minds, which will drop their self titled album next Tuesday, Sept 15th.
Produced By "Brian "All Day" Miller.

NHL Playoffs 2004

Flames winger answers call in overtime
By Lindsay Berra
Special to ESPN.com
TAMPA, Fla. -- Overtime is all about unlikely heroes, and Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals was certainly no exception.
But perhaps there was a clue pointing to the eventual man-of-the-hour on the scoresheet. After two periods of hockey,
Calgary Flames
Jarome Iginla
had taken three shots on goal. Lightning superstar
Vincent Lecavalier
had taken two. And leading the game with five shots on goal was Flames fourth-line winger
Oleg Saprykin
Never heard of him? Saprykin was Calgary's top pick, 11th overall, in the 1999 entry draft. He had 12 goals and 17 assists for 29 points in 69 games with the Flames last season. Saprykin's father Dmitri was the backup to legendary goaltender Vladislav Tretiak on the Russian Red Army team.
And after two periods, Saprykin was playing so well that Flames head coach Darryl Sutter had already allotted him more than 12 minutes of ice time, just one minute shy of his playoff average of 13:28.
Saprykin's opportunity for extra shifts was, initially, the result of Flames left winger
Ville Nieminen
's one-game suspension for his hit on Lecavalier in Game 4.
"Oleg knew he was going to play a lot," Sutter said.
Then, when Flames right winger
Shean Donovan
went down with what Sutter called a charley horse with two minutes left in the second period, Saprykin was called on for even more. He played both wings on almost every line as Sutter juggled his lines to compensate for the loss of his missing wingers.
Just under 15 minutes into overtime, Saprykin was battling in front of the net on the tail end of a long, and eventually helmet-less, shift by Iginla. Flames center
Marcus Nilson
slid a pass across the ice from the left faceoff dot to the right, where Iginla was waiting after a fray in front of the net that had knocked his helmet off his head. Iginla blasted a wrist shot that Lightning goaltender
Nikolai Khabibulin
saved but had trouble handling. Saprykin whacked away at the rebound and scored the winner on his sixth shot of the night right through Khabibulin's five-hole.
"Olie was banging away in there right in front of the net. He deserved that goal," said Iginla. "He played so hard all night."
Saprykin scored his last goal on April 17 against the
Vancouver Canucks
in the first round of the playoffs, 18 games ago. It was just his third playoff goal and was easily the high point of the 23-year-old Russian's career.
"It's a great feeling," Saprykin said. "Jarome shot the puck and it was perfect. He saw me there and I just tried to get a rebound and I just put it in."
Things won't be that easy on Saturday night when the Flames and Lightning face off at the Saddledome in Calgary for the first elimination game of this Stanley Cup series.
But elimination games are good for unlikely heroes, too.

History Mystery in York, Pa.: Can you place this scene, maybe from Conewago Creek?
This photograph appeared on the very interesting Hanover-area Facebook Page: If you grew up in Hanover, Pa you remember… . Someone called it to my attention, and my mind immediately placed the scene on the Conewago Creek near Manchester. Here was my initial response to the query for help: 'I think this is mislabeled. This is probably Cold Springs Park on the Conewago Creek near Manchester. The Conewago is about that width there and across from Cold Springs Park was Elm Beach, a popular swimming spot. I provided a few links to support this: 'Notice use of Conewago Summit here – and that area is known as Conewago Heights. Also, notice how similar the creek and sports activities look here with the trolley and swimmers and boaters. I hope I'm right, and invite comments on this below.

Sit it out or dance at the 1807 York Fair? York fathers said … sit it out
Jim Driskell of First St. John's Lutheran Church in York provided this action by York Borough relating to the York Fair in 1807. Long and short, it call for a ban on dancing at the York Fair, then situated with borough limits. Violators would pay $5, a tidy sum in those days 'A member of our congregation felt that you might get a kick out of a document … ,' Jim wrote. Yes, indeed. As it turns out, the York Fair faced more challenges than this. It was canceled about 10 years later after a death at the annual event. The fair did not resume until the 1850s.

York Safe expert to tell about storage of valuables and the value of a 'real safe'
Fred Beihl is known to YorkTownSquare.com readers because of his expertise about York safes made by Forry Laucks' York Safe & Lock for decades before World War II. He'll be talking about those safes plus others in a presentation to the Stewartstown-Shrewsbury Coin Club from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Mason Dixon Public Library in Stewartstown. His presentation will include 'the storage of valuables and the benefits of real safes vs. department store gun safes.' He supplied this photo of a 2,000-pound Boston Safe, which must be the first photo on this blog of a safe that wasn't a York-made safe. So Fred Beihl, also a coin dealer and auctioneer, knows safes of all stock – not just those sturdy vaults made by York Safe & Lock!
