Review: Austin Nichols Wild Turkey Bourbon
Posted by Arctic Wolf on October 19, 2012
According to the Wild Turkey website, Austin Nichols Wild Turkey Bourbon, is composed of a mash bill which includes three grains: corn from Kentucky and Indiana; barley from Montana; and rye grain from North Dakota. Apparently the yeast used in the fermentation has been cultured at the distillery and the actual strains used are kept a closely guarded secret. The whiskey is distilled to a low proof which results in less water needing to be added after maturation to bring the spirit to bottling strength. The belief is that this leads to a fuller more authentic 'just from the barrel' flavour.
Wild Turkey, like all American bourbon is aged solely in new white American oak barrels.
Here is an excerpt from my review:

Cornwall's position on gas pipelineAugust 17,2014In response to the commentary by Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, and Sen. Peg Flory, R-Rutland, on Vermont Gas Systems proposed pipeline through Addison County to International Paper in New York:
To start, let me make three things clear:
The town of Cornwall does not oppose getting natural gas to Rutland.
The town of Cornwall does oppose the VGS/IP pipeline.
The town of Cornwall does oppose the happy talk about this project that muddles informed public dialogue and leads to bad public policy.
The Mullin-Flory essay was singularly unhelpful. By attempting to pit one Vermont community against another and either by misunderstanding or distorting the facts, Mullin and Flory have done a disservice to their constituents and the state.
The content reads as little more than shilling for VGS corporate PR spin plus a gratuitous insult to Cornwall residents.
It will likely be best remembered for the indifference to facts and an enthusiastic, uninformed and uncritical embrace of VGS story line. The endlessly-repeated, self-serving and fanciful tale about Phase 2 providing easy money to get gas to Rutland faster is apparently irresistible to some politicians.
Heres why its a fanciful tale:
First, there is no coherent single project to get gas to Rutland.
Second, Phase 1 and Phase 2 are fundamentally different projects.
Third, Phase 2 is all about corporate profit.
Fourth, claimed regional benefits verge on nonsense.
Fifth, absent meaningful benefits to Cornwall, there are unacceptable costs.
Taking each in turn ...
First, no coherent single project. Originally, the Addison Natural Gas Project was to extend the gas pipeline from Shelburne to Middlebury. Period. Then the International Paper scheme surfaced with the original project renamed Phase 1.
A new spur pipeline to IPs Ticonderoga, N.Y., paper mill was dubbed Phase 2, as if it were somehow a natural extension of Phase 1.
Recently, weve seen a new name Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project.
But theres no Phase 3 yet no planned route, no cost estimate and certainly no timetable just vague intentions, promises and, only last week, announced route planning discussions.
The story about reducing the time to get gas to Rutland by 15 years has no substance other than how often its repeated by VGS officials.
To be absolutely clear, a pipeline to Rutland could be initiated tomorrow if VGS and/or its parent corporation, GazMetro, would finance it. The question Mullin and Flory should be asking is: Why has VGS taken so long to meet Rutlands need?
Second, Phase 1 and Phase 2 are fundamentally different projects. Phase 1 meets the test of being an actual public utility project; it will provide gas service to residential and commercial locations along its route and thus will serve the public.
Phase 2 fails that test. Phase 2 is purely and simply a service drop to an enormous customer an opportunistic business deal. If constructed, the pipeline would deliver 99 percent of its gas to one business in Ticonderoga, N.Y.
Third, Phase 2 is all about corporate profit. First, understand that Phase 1 will be paid for by VGS customers in Franklin and Chittenden counties, the result of a 2011 deal struck between VGS and the Public Service Board.
Simply put, the PSB allows VGS to hold back a portion of natural gas price decreases from their current customers to fund VGS expanding service to more Vermont residential and commercial locations. To date, VGS customers have contributed $14.2 million to be spent to pay for Phase 1.
Again, Phase 2 is entirely different from Phase 1. By any measure, Phase 2 is a commercial project, not the provision of a public utility service to Vermonters.
According to VGS testimony to the PSB and using their original budget amounts they have a deal wherein IP pays $64.4 million to get gas to its Ticonderoga mill. Of that amount, $2.4 million goes to pay for enlarging the Phase 1 pipeline to meet the paper mills demand.
The remaining $62.0 million would be spent to build the Phase 2 pipeline from Middlebury through Cornwall and Shoreham and then under Lake Champlain.
Why would International Paper pay all that money? According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in 2013, the IP Ticonderoga mill spent more than $47 million for #6 fuel oil. Natural gas is touted as being 40 percent cheaper. You can do the arithmetic: $47 million x 40 percent = $18.8 million that IP would save. Each year! That would pay back the investment in less than four years. After that, its pure profit.
And, of course, VGS would do just fine, too. Adding a single customer the size of International Paper (1.4 billion cubic feet of gas per year) is equivalent to adding the Rutland market.
Fourth, claimed regional benefits verge on nonsense. Where do those millions of dollars in IP cost savings go? Not to the region; they go to IP corporate headquarters in Memphis, Tenn., and from there to IP shareholders.
Regional benefits that expand exponentially? Gimme a break! IP management has a fiduciary responsibility that is, a legal duty to maximize returns to shareholders. That means IP is most unlikely to pay Ticonderoga mill workers or loggers or anyone else more generously because they saved fuel costs.
And, by the way, IP says in its public statements to investors that the Ticonderoga mill is already doing just fine.
So no benefits to the workers at the mill or to the loggers. What about Vermonters? Phase 2 would serve precious few Vermont customers. If built, the proposed pipeline would pass by fewer than 15 percent of Cornwall households.
How about property taxes filling town coffers? Not with 80 percent of property taxes going to the state for education.
Other environmental regional benefits touted by VGS are a frothy mix of exaggerations based on questionable assumptions and optimistic projections. And, by the way, VGS insists on being the one (not your towns listers) to define the value of the pipeline, equipment and required rights of way and to impose easement terms on landowners that would make future development of affected parcels problematic.
Fifth, absent meaningful benefits to Cornwall, there are unacceptable costs. While taking advantage of all legally available public utility regulatory protections, VGS Phase 2 pipeline would deliver 99 percent of its natural gas to a New York paper mill. By any measure this is a commercial scheme, not the provision of public utility service to Vermonters.
In order to do this, VGS is prepared to take Cornwall landowners property rights through eminent domain. Sen. Christopher Bray, DAddison, has presented elsewhere a compelling argument that the simple facts of the Phase 2 proposal an overtly commercial enterprise using eminent domain raise fundamental Vermont constitutional issues.
VGS spins the project with the rationalization that they will use their substantial profits to extend gas service to the Rutland area 15 years sooner than when? In essence, they admit Phase 2 is a financing device to grow their business.
From the outset Cornwall residents listened carefully and critically. After hearing the VGS pitch and seeing VGS in action they concluded Cornwall does not want the pipeline, as proposed by VGS, coming through our community.
The Town Meeting vote was 88 percent opposed. Five of the six directly affected landowners have refused to agree to easements. The Cornwall Select Board is unanimously opposed to the project as currently constituted.
VGS is owned by GazMetro, an enormous Canadian utility holding company with substantial financial resources. Cornwall has miniscule resources. Consequently, we have proceeded along two parallel courses. We have attempted to engage VGS in a full and creative exploration of alternatives. Those attempts have been rebuffed.
Concurrently. we have expressed and will continue to express our opposition through the Public Service Boards process, a quasi-judicial legal labyrinth which by its very nature heavily favors those with the deepest pockets.
Early last year, it became clear that VGS saw Phase 2 as a cheap and politically appealing way of financing its expansion to Rutland and, moreover, appeared willing to do whatever necessary to get a certificate of public good from the Public Service Board. The Cornwall Select Board asked the governor to use the resources at his disposal to require that other financing alternatives be explored. We respectfully reiterate our request.
Cornwall has made clear that, if a pipeline is to be forced through our community, we insist on two things:
First, environmental indemnification from the first shovelful to the decommissioning of the pipeline in the distant future. In plain language, that means whatever gets screwed up, gets fixed by VGS at their expense.
Second, compensation commensurate with the financial benefits realized by Vermont Gas and International Paper, the two commercial entities in this transaction.
This project bears no resemblance to any other phase of VGS expansion to Rutland. If approved as proposed, Phase 2 stands to establish a ruinous precedent: That an out-of-state entity with deep enough pockets can purchase the public good over the objections of directly affected towns and landowners.
None of us should want this. The town of Cornwall does not oppose getting natural gas to Rutland, but the costs must be borne by the entities political, individual or commercial who are the direct beneficiaries of the project.

I consider the Labor Day Weekend a complete success. I enjoyed a visit from old friends, AND I read a whole book, "Generosity: An Enhancement" by Richard Powers.
I chose "Generosity" because it's one of the titles on this year's Notable Books List from the American Library Association. I'll be making a presentation on these books at the Nebraska Library Association/Nebraska Educational Media Association Conference in Grand Island next month. Once that presentation is prepared, I'm happy to make it to other interested groups, so if you need such a presentation for a group, contact me.
My overall review of this book--great set-up, somewhat disappointing resolution. The book opens with the narrator describing a young man on the El, in Chicago, in the somewhat near future. He's on his way to teach his first writing class. His name is Russell Stone. His class includes an amazing woman, Thassadit Amzwar. She is happy. She is contagiously happy. She is happy despite what happened to her and her family in the Algerian war. She is so happy that her smart and cynical classmates love her and are made better by her presence. She's a living work of art.
Part of this future is the common use of drugs to enhance happiness. Russell chooses not to participate in such use. He has his own story of unhappiness to savor. I happen to love this part of the story because it makes Russell seem both talented and flawed. Russell had some early success with creative nonfiction pieces. Then he heard from the people on whom his essays were based (and from the people who loved them), and they loathed him and what he said about them. He cannot get over the harm he did. I imagine David Sedaris-like pieces, and poor Russell with his thin skin.
And then...an array of others, including a school counselor, the host of a popular science show, a researcher on the science of happiness, and a talk show host who seems suspiciously like Oprah, all become fascinated by Thassadit. She becomes an object of public fascination. She actually grows miserable, and Russell tries to save her.
I did finish the book. I tend to be interested in research about happiness; I'm familiar with much of the information that Powers works into the story. I appreciate the way that the story explores these issues. Is happiness really mostly about chemistry? What kind of people can't tolerate this level of happiness in others? Is Thassadit crazy to have experienced such horror and yet remain happy? How essential is misery? How authentic is emotion?
Despite the clever way that Powers weaves all of these people and all of this plot together, the complexity of the story steals too much from the simple power of Thassadit's happiness. While I don't see myself recommending this book to many people, I would welcome conversation with others who've read it. I respect the choices of the Notable Books committee, and I'm open to being convinced.

An additional key requirement was a system for defect management incorporating quality non-conformances, defect logging, auditing, root cause analysis and investigation plus management of all associated documentation.
Rivo gives NOV centralised management reports of all defects across the business and is integrated with their internal parts management system, bringing through detail of costings and supplier details – closing the loop on the quality management process.
Raw material quality management for GrainCorp
GrainCorp is one of Australia's largest producers and distributors of produce. An Australian ASX 100 company, they provide of services associated with the grain supply chain and have customers throughout the world.
As part of a major review of their safety and environmental management strategy, GrainCorp required a new automated incident reporting and monitoring system within the storage and logistics business. As usage of Rivo expanded, they have adopted the quality management solution layer to manage product specifications of their produce, for example raw material composition, food chemical content, supplier information and national certificate tracking. The system also collates results from laboratory tests and customer complaints. Any quality infringements automatically create corrective actions within Rivo, allowing them to see progress on completion in one view.

Gas pipeline: a less messy choiceSeptember 19,2013As co-owners of Kennedy Brothers in Vergennes, we have been looking forward to reducing our greenhouse gas footprint by replacing outdated oil-fueled furnaces with smaller, cleaner, and more efficient gas furnaces. This will also provide much-needed savings to our tenants, which are all locally owned small businesses. Thus, we attended the public hearing in Middlebury on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
It was disappointing to hear so many statements that just made no sense ecologically. It was also annoying that almost no supporters got to speak because the opponents listed themselves as supporting the pipeline on the sign-up-to-speak forms. We are as concerned about climate change as much as the opponents to this project, but we see natural gas as the better solution.
Ever since people began using fire, we have abused the environment for our energy needs. Nothing has changed, except there are a lot more people doing it today and we have more sources of energy. No energy source is perfect. Wind farms are despised by otherwise green people because they spoil the views. Hydropower dams rivers. Solar panels require mining materials and dirty chemical processes to manufacture, and many dont like the look of fields of solar panels. Nuclear has radioactive waste issues. Oil is messy (many oil spills and dirty drilling process) and generates greenhouse gases, as does natural gas, wood, coal and biomass. Nothing is perfect.
Whether it is people denuding mountainsides of trees for firewood, or BP spilling oil in the Gulf of Mexico, or the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster, humankinds use of energy negatively impacts the environment. So it all comes down to one question: What do we choose in order to minimize the mess we make? Because people arent giving up their heat, cooking and lighting, not to mention driving. That is the question the Public Service Board needs to keep in mind as it decides on the certificate of public good for the Colchester-to-Middlebury pipeline.
The pipeline into Middlebury will not make this worse. It will be better since gas for heat can be burned at very high efficiency, compared to oil, and is cleaner burning as well. It is also lower cost, which will benefit all the people who can access the gas, as well as businesses. It will not increase the damage to the environment. It will likely reduce negative impacts, and I expect evidence showing that will be provided at the technical hearings the PSB will conduct next week.
All the comments at the PSB meeting in Middlebury about adding to our greenhouse problem make no sense. This replaces one fuel (mostly oil) with more efficient and cleaner gas. It doesnt lock anyone into gas for the next 100 years either. That is just absurd. It will only be used as long as it makes sense. When we develop new clean energy sources that replace oil and gas, then the gas line will go into disuse.
All the comments on scarring the land make no sense either. Once the construction is complete, it will have much, much, much, less of an impact than a road. It is not taking any land. It will be under land that can continue to raise corn or hay or graze cows. One must wonder where the people at this meeting are getting their misinformation. The few pressure control stations and distribution points will be above ground and in out of the way areas.
As for safety, most people in the United States are served by underground gas lines, and have been for decades. It is an exceedingly rare day when someone dies because of a gas explosion. Worrying about the safety of underground pipelines is like worrying about electric lines falling on you as you walk down the street. Almost never happens.
People are messy. Once again, to emphasize the decision under consideration by the Public Service Board: What mess do we choose to make?
In our view a natural gas pipeline is the smaller mess, and provides lower cost energy for the people and businesses of Addison County.

REVIEW: The Croods
Before Family Guy, The Simpsons or even The Flintstones; another cartoon family was walking the Earth. Namely, The Croods. Cavemen and cavewomen in a cave...family?
The family is led by Grug (Nick Cage), a father that takes no chances when survival is on the line. Surrounded by his family which includes Ugga (Catherine Keener), Gran (Cloris Leechman), Thunk (Clarke Duke) and "The Baby". His happiness comes from being safe in a cave whenever possible.
Grug's biggest problem (besides disease, animal attacks and finding food on a regular basis) is his daughter Eep (Emma Stone), a teenager that wants more and questions everything, all to Grug's dismay. This point really hits home when Eep leaves the cave to follow a mysterious and new event. To her surprise, her mystery has a name and it's Guy (Ryan Reynolds). An inventor and a thinker that warns of a coming destruction that should be taken seriously.
Unfortunately, events take away the option of a safe cave from the Croods so they decide to venture forth dragging Guy along to "think" when necessary. A new world unfolds for them as they see the potential they have all been missing, all except for Grug that is. He fears all new things and wants something he can control to safeguard his family. Is growth an option for these cavemen or is it extinction for all?
A very delightful movie with humor to spare, this is a homerun for children and parents with stunning visuals and a couple lessons thrown in. If you have kids or enjoy animated movies (And you aren't living under a rock), then feel free to take a pre-historic journey with The Croods.

Do You Know a Fat Dog When You See One?
August 26th, 2014 | 4
We've all met dogs with a small head and large body who bear a striking resemblance to the people with shrunken heads from the movie Beetlejuice. Some dogs naturally come with this particular head-to-body ratio, but for others, it's often man-made. Yes. Some dogs are overweight. Peter Sandøe, professor of bioethics at the University of [...]

Meaning & Origins
Biblical name (of uncertain derivation) of a Moabite woman who left her own people to remain with her mother-in-law Naomi, and afterwards became the wife of Boaz and an ancestress of David. Her story is told in the book of the Bible that bears her name. It was used among the Puritans in England in the 16th century, partly because of its association with the English vocabulary word ruth meaning 'compassion'. It has always been popular as a Jewish name, but is now also widespread among people of many different cultures and creeds.

Dec 9, 2014Joseph Gordon-Levitt is my favourite actor and in premium rush he shines like never.Premium Rush is full of stunt and action.The movie is fresh and original and probably one of the best movie of 2012.
Jun 23, 2014Premium Rush is a formulaic movie done well: It has a blend of intrigue, wit, and action-packed stunts to go along with it. Although the whole movie is completely mindless, it isn't the typical implausible blockbuster like The Fast and the Furious or Transformers; it has just enough intelligence to pass for something worthwhile.

Sep 7, 2013
Aug 20, 2013Premium Rush is a good flick that features many chases and close calls that keeps you interested. Successful in its attempts at humor. Micheal Shannon played a great character.
Jul 7, 2013Lots of fun with JGL charming as always and Michael Shannon chewing the scenery to hysterical effect. It is fast and energetic with some laughs and some genuine thrills. Yeah, the plot is slight, but the movie knows that. It just wants us to have a good time.
Jul 6, 2013Brief, self-congratulatory, feels padded out. At times the narrative will maddeningly drop what it's doing to show off some stunts, then pick itself up again. Characters are cardboard cut-outs, all are EXTREME or HARDCORE, in all-caps. Reminds of those 90s films centred on BMX/Surfing/Rollerblading(?)

Mar 24, 2013Plot is nowhere near as interesting or entertaining as it should be.
Mar 18, 2013
Mar 11, 2013This movie is a big disappointment. My biggest problem with this film is the script stinks and Jamie Chung's accent is cringe worthy. The bike scenes are kind of cool and JGL is good, but it's not enough to save this film.
Mar 10, 2013
Feb 27, 2013
Jan 18, 2013As a mountain biker and a person who loves physics! this movie stinks! Also the story is way over the top, not believable. Its one of the those movies, that shouldnt have been made!
Jan 14, 2013This briskly-paced and deftly-woven popcorn bag of entertainment follows a Manhattan bike messenger (played wonderfully by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) as he finds himself suddenly embroiled in an alarming chase centered around a mysterious package he is set to deliver by 7 p.m. The plot is very cleverly-written, the film is well-executed, and overall it's just a real bit of fun.
Jan 8, 2013Really boring script and storyline- only thing that keeps this moving going is Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the solid production value. The overall tone seems to be a bit confused.
Jan 3, 2013Script-4/10
It was decent but predictable.
Levitt is the new superstar of the industry now & he did good,others were just OK.
Direction & camera work was good.

Dec 20, 2012Premium Rush is the break-neck action chase film of the summer. The film will be released on Blu-ray and DVD tomorrow. Joseph Gordon-Levitt presents the audience with his continuous charm no matter what role he portrays. The film is fun to be a part of from start to finish. One of the best films of the year!
Dec 16, 2012It's original and fun to watch. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Shannon were wonderful leads. Only problem I had with it was that the storyline was a bit too generic and shallow. Still, I enjoyed watching it and I would recommend it to others.
Dec 4, 2012
Nov 30, 2012Fast, fresh and adrenaline rush all over. Good entertainment all over. This is a movie you watch when you want time to fly and it keeps you on your pedals but not on your seat for those action scenes
Nov 29, 2012
Nov 28, 2012It may feature some pretty silly plot elements, but overall "Premium Rush" is a fairly entertaining and brisk action film with some pretty amusing performances.
Oct 11, 2012While the story isn't great but it's the most fun I've had in the cinema for a while. The music was awesome the acting was good (especially Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Shannon).
Oct 6, 2012
Oct 3, 2012
Sep 26, 2012Premium Rush's non-linear storyline end up confusing, but thanks keep pushing my adrenaline. Terrific chasing bike scene itself is worth the ticket price.
Sep 18, 2012Original setting on top of an average cliche chase movie. That original setting held me over though and enjoyed it very much. It is just refreshing to see some kind of experimentation done on modern movies. I would of liked a little less of the bad guy and the movie itself could of been trimmed down 10 minutes or so and been a bit better. Overall very good a nice interesting adventure.
Sep 17, 2012
Sep 16, 2012This film is awesome. Despite having what may be called a convoluted plot, it is given strength by the intense action, superb acting and a brilliant choice of characters, not to mention the crystalline graphics of a GPS and the lively streets of New York. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is just so carefree and alive in this film.

Sep 3, 2012This was a very well rounded film with lots of chase scenes on bicycles which is awesome for an avid biker like myself. The writing and direction of this film was really good and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is becoming one of my new favorite actors. Very good film to see for a date night or just hanging out with your friends. Go and see this film.
Sep 2, 2012
Sep 2, 2012Its probably the most original film of the year. With nonstop suspense and chase scenes, it really is a RUSH.
Aug 31, 2012If you really like to watch chase scenes, on bicycles, then this movie is for you. I enjoyed the flashback-back and forth timeline presentation and some of the stunts where cool but it got old quick. I think it got lost between trying to be clever and action backed. In the end I was disappointed.
Aug 29, 2012Fast and fun, Premium Rush gave me a reason to perhaps try to navigate the streets of New York on a brakeless, fixed-gear bicycle. The best scenes by far were the incredible high-speed bike-races through the city, zipping by taxis, pedestrians, and even New York
Aug 29, 2012Whenever Michael Shannon is on screen, this movie is an absolute blast to watch. Unfortunately, when he's not, it's borderline unwatchable. If this movie had been filmed in the '90s, you can be certain the main character would be using the word "radical" every other sentence. It's THAT kind of film.
Aug 28, 2012Ever since 2009 hit (500) days of summer, Joseph Gordan-Levitt has been on one huge ride to the top, (G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra), which wasn

Aug 25, 2012I found this to be a funny, entertaining, and all round enjoyable movie, well worth the time and money spent. People who think that movies are always supposed to tell some heartbreaking story need not waste their time. The plot is simple. The richness of this movie comes from an interesting style, funny moments and good low-violence action scenes.

Aug 24, 2012Cool, funny, fresh and original. Premium Rush is a great movie.
A movie that while thin and silly, moves with such joyous speed that you almost want to throw your arms in the air and scream.
Sep 1, 2012It's definitely the 'other' Gordon-Levitt film out this month, but this silly cycler whizzes by amiably. Star charm helps: JGL's enjoyment in his job adds welcome levels of Levitt-y.
There is a lot of silly bike-is-life philosophy, including Wilee's personal credo of "Fixed gear, steel frame, no brakes," none of which I can speak to because I don't care a tinker's damn about bikes, but I do have an abiding fondness for compact and coherent action movies, and this is surely one.
