The Glenlivet has reached a considerable milestone in its quest to become the best selling single malt Scotch in the world (a position currently held by Glenfiddich), by selling one million 9-litre cases of whisky within a year for the first time in its history. Looking back to the end of the calendar year 2013, the global Scotch malt whisky market shares held by these brands were within a single percent of one another at 12% and 12.7% respectively. Competition for the top spot has rarely been fiercer.
Reporting double digit growth in more than 40 markets as well as 8% global value growth (net sales) and 2% increase in volume during the 2014 financial year, The Glenlivet reached the milestone of one million cases sold worldwide during the twelve month period up to and including September 2014. Given that back in 2006 (when Glenmorangie was Glenfiddich's biggest competition in terms of global sales) Glenfiddich enjoyed an 18% market share compared to The Glenlivet's 7%, their progress is all the more impressive.*

On Tuesday evening I found myself the nearest thing to a corner possible at a curvy and buzzing Magazine Restaurant in Kensington Gardens on a cold, rainy November night. Here I would attempt to write some meaningful tasting notes for 11 limited edition cask strength single malts in a couple of hectic hours, including the time it would take to fight through the crowd each time I needed to move on to new whiskies, and the time it would take for the smell of prawn hors d'oeuvres to dissipate each time the diligent waitresses came over to offer them.
Meanwhile, our Spirits Buyer Toby Cutler (he's nice, you'd like him - he really enjoys a good picture of Kevin Costner, or Chris Tucker for that matter) was having no such problem as he enjoyed a range of whiskies, some quite valuable, in a leisurely fashion alongside some pleasant conversation. Add all of this up, and it can only mean one thing: it was the launch of Diageo's much-anticipated 2014 Special Releases!

This is really a follow up to my previous post 'Will Grain Whisky be promoted to the Big League as David Beckham signs for Haig Club?', where I talk more generally about single grain and David Beckham as well as taste the Girvan 25yo. Since then a couple of things have happened. Firstly, the brand and the whisky are out there now - from teaser shots where you don't even get to see Becks' face back in July, to us having the whisky for sale on the site, to the Global Launch at the start of October through to the release of the UK television advert at the end of last week. The other thing that's happened is that I've actually got around to tasting it now, finally!

A 25 year old 1988 vintage. That's quite enough about me though. Feeling a little guilty that I haven't got to this whisky already (we received the package with the sample about a month ago), I'm now making a concious effort in these busy 'already-sort-of-started-but-also-still-building-up-to-Christmas-retailing' times to get to it before my birthday, after which I'll suddenly have a little less in common with it.
Everybody enjoys getting their hands on a whisky distilled in the year of their birth, it's fun. It's one of those things that shouldn't really matter perhaps, but many people are willing to fork out that little bit (or lot-a-bit) extra to get their paws on something from 'their vintage'. Something that's spent the same amount of time on this oblate spheroid as they have. Indeed, some whisky lovers go out of their way to secure these as often as possible. But if it's the same age as you as well? Better still, surely?

Glenfiddich 18 Year Old will soon be getting some new threads in the form of a new bottle, label and tin, thus differentiating it from the 12 and 15 year old offerings in the core range. Present at the unveiling of the new packaging, created with Here Design, we can confirm that the changes aren't drastic or overblown - it still feels very much like the 18yo rather than being anywhere near as grand as the 21yo, whilst nevertheless providing more of a bridge to the the older, more expensive offering. This approach is clear right from seeing the new square tin. (The price, by the way, isn't changing.)

The Monkey Shoulder Ultimate Bartender Challenge has been quite a journey - over 50 teams signed up back in March and April, but as Connor MacLeod has taught us (with alarming regularity on this here blog):"There can be only one."
Having followed the competition on twitter and attended the grand bar-off last month, I can thoroughly recommend hunting down the competition's worthy winners at their London Cocktail Week pop-up in 7 Dials this week (as I did yesterday). To explain a little more about this cocktail competition that was totally unlike anything we've ever reported on before though, let me hand you over to Monkey Shoulder's new brand ambassador...

You may have seen, but the fantastic Drinks by the Dram advent calendars for 2014 are now available for pre-order! (Estimated despatch date 5th November.*) Full of your favourite spirits rather than the usual naff chocolate fare, each one contains 24 different 3cl sample 'drams', one behind each window for your Christmas countdown! (Full contents can be found on the product pages for those who don't want it to be a total surprise.)
So, what's new for 2014? As well as exciting new lineups of specially selected contents, we're also rather chuffed with the new boxes, illustrated by the brilliant Duncan Beedie. Let's take a look at the 2014 Whisky Advent Calendar first (the one with the pre-order promotion attached to it…).

Last week I was fortunate enough to taste an upcoming release from The Glenlivet, the second best selling single malt Scotch whisky in the world. It's a limited edition 50 year old vintage release - the first in a series of 50 year olds (!) that are to be called The Winchester Collection.
Matured in a single American oak hogshead (as far as I understand from my chat with Brand Ambassador Phil Huckle) this whisky was laid down back in 1964 by none other than Captain Bill Smith-Grant, the final distilling descendant of the distillery's founder, George Smith. The Winchester Collection therefore represents a special piece of history for The Glenlivet, a final liquid link with the family that started it all back in 1824.

I like a bit of Irish whiskey me. That's why I made a point of writing a big ol' three-part blog post about it earlier in the year. So, bearing that in mind, when I received an invitation to attend the Irish Whiskey Academy at Midleton distillery over in County Cork I didn't really need to think about it for too long. The Academy opened in February 2013 and along with a new still house and archive became a focus for the Irish Distillers' Housewarming celebrations last year.
The Academy is a state of the art training facility whose courses have been attended by many of the leading whisk(e)y writers, journalists and bartenders. There's a nice Dave Broom quote on their site that sums it up quite nicely: "I can honestly say that this is the finest training facility I have ever been in, and some of the finest training I have ever had". That.

Many other new "iMac to Mini" converts here?
Are there many new Mini owners out there who like me were put off buying a new iMac and decided to "Go Mini" instead?
Before the last keynote i was holding on for a refreshed iMac to replace my aging model, but was put off by the lack of accessible RAM in the 21.5 and slow hard drive in the base model. For me personally it just didn't represent good value for money anymore.
I always wanted a Mini (they just look so cool!) but always ended up with iMacs. After the last Keynote though i decided to take the plunge and finally buy one. Admittedly, at first i felt i might be "trading down" but after a few days of working with it i couldn't be happier.
I admit it, i spend too much on products

Still have a 2010 iMac & will keep it till the day it dies.
But I'm getting work done on my new 2012 Mini, i7 2.3 quad-core. Best computer on the planet for the $$$ IMO.

The base Mac mini has the same "slow" drive. However, it also doesn't have a dedicated graphics cards nor a good processor. But it's your money; use it when you need it.
|Nov 1, 2012, 05:44 AM
I'm thinking about it also - my main concern with the iMac is whether the screen and body are glued together. If this is the case, out comes the heat gun onto a nice shiny laminated screen if something goes wrong
Mac Mini looks far easier to pull apart and upgrade.
|Nov 1, 2012, 06:07 AM
I can only speak for myself, but for my own use it wasn't worth spending the £500 extra on an iMac. My last one was a Core 2 Duo, so despite losing the built in IPS screen its a real improvement.

I had been seriously considering the new iMac, but, when I found out you couldn't upgrade the RAM (yourself) unless you got the 27-inch....pffft. It was a no brainer. The mini is more upgradeable and provides more bang for my dollar considering how I'll use it. Plus I already have a relatively new keybard, wireless mouse and 21-inch monitor.
|Nov 1, 2012, 08:23 AM
I find the new iMacs quite sexy. Drives and stuff can be replaced, and they have QC processors and dedicated graphics. Yet - I have one big issue with the iMac. Them changing the screen and all is nice, but those resolutions are atrocius at 21.5 / 27 inches. Especially for a "premium" product.
Depending on whether you'll need the power (although I do believe Mac Mini offers a Quad processor) and the dedicated GPU, it's up to you. If I were in your shoes I'd opt for a Mac Mini, and get myself a kickass 3rd party monitor with insane resolution and quality.
|Nov 1, 2012, 08:59 AM
I've been in the market for a new iMac to replace my slow mid-2007 model since late last year. I figured the new ones were just around the corner. They didn't appear in January. Researching it, I realized they were probably linked to Intel's release schedule. But they didn't come out with the new chips. When they were finally announced, the 27-incher that I wanted was still vapor, not coming until "December."
That did it.
I ordered a 27-inch Dell display that got a great review at AnandTech and a maxed out Mac mini with a Fusion Drive. The display is in the box here and the mini has just left China.
On the graphics: I read the tests at BareFeats.com that people are talking about, and then I downloaded the two utilities they used (Cinebench and Unigine-Heaven) and tested my iMac's graphics myself. My iMac rates 1/10 and 1/6, respectively, for CPU and OpenGL speed of the Mac mini tested, a 2.3 quad (I myself splurged for the 2.6). So the mini should scream compared to my old iMac. And graphics is not my choke point on my current machine. CPU speed is. So I'm not too worried yet about the lack of a discrete graphics card.
Remember: the graphics mostly affects game rendering (I don't do games) and rendering of edited video and 3D models, as well as Photoshop filters on large images. I use Photoshop, but only basic filtering on web-resolution images. For interface element rendering I don't think there will be any problem at all on even a 27-inch display at maximum resolution. We'll see though: as I said I don't have it yet.
I think the iMacs are getting more and more crippled, CD slot aside: for instance, the Mac mini has an Audio In and an Audio Out. The iMacs have only an Audio Out (which they renamed "Headphones" so as not to emphasize the lack of in/out symmetry). I wish they'd make the iMac _thicker_ and the mini _taller_ and just put all the stuff in them that is needed, without compromises.
I'm starting to feel that us desktop guys are going to see slimmer and slimmer pickings from Apple, and I don't like the dumbing down of OS X either. I don't like all the iTunes updates for features I don't want, I don't like iCloud, and so on. Now that I have a more componentized system with the mini, I plan to buy a KVM switch and a small PC box and load Linux on it and reacquaint myself with it, looking to become a possible future "switcher" if I can get my work done in one of the Linux distros.

Didn't feel like waiting and spending $2,200+ for a 27" with a somewhat SSD drive.
Opted for the base Mini and added 16GB RAM and a 128GB SSD (total cost around $800). Picked up a 23" Cinema Display (and another 20") and I'm quite happy with it...so far. It's pretty fast and should last me several years.
Thinking about the 27" thunderbolt display...but I have a feeling that will get refreshed.

I'm seriously considering it. I have an early 2009 iMac that's beginning to have problems. I originally held out for the new iMac to be announced, but after seeing the release, I started giving the mini serious consideration.
Here's what I use my Mac for:
I do need two monitors, but based on the above, I'm not sure I'm going to see any benefit to a discrete graphics card as I don't plan on gaming. I'm probably going with the mid-level mini simply for the upgrade in the CPU to the quad i7. I happened to transfer and 24 Tivo recordings and used Toast to convert to MP4. This took about 14 hours on my existing machine. I'm going to assume it will be a lot fast on the i7.
My biggest decision now is which monitor I want. I'm tossed between Apple's Thunderbolt display, the Dell 30" U3011 or 27" U2711. I like the idea of the Dells since I can use it on other computers without the thunderbolt connector.
I'm probably going to pick up the mini this weekend and decide on the monitor over the next couple of weeks.

Thinking about an i7 mini with monitor instead of a base 2012 iMac. I could also use it on my 50" Pioneer Kuro.
Not sure what 24" Monitor to get though. Maybe the Dell U2410 or 2412, but HDMI in would be nice, which the latter doesn't have.
The AOC i2353Ph is also a nice looking monitor, but has clouding issues and a dodgy stand.

I've just sold an iMac and gone for the mid range Mac Mini. Same as you I was a little let down by the 21.5" model & it isn't exactly cheap!
Only setup the Mini today but so far so good, good spec for the price! Mine is connected to a 24" LG HD Display

I was all about getting a 27" iMac. Was just waiting for it to be refreshed. Not that I don't like the new model. I think it's absolutely beautiful! But, the more that I read, the more that I realize that it's not really the best bang for the buck. I don't sit in front of my computer 12 hours per day like I used to and also don't have the $ coming in like I used to either so I'm trying to make a wiser choice for myself instead of being drawn in by the beauty of the screen.
With that said, I'm going to go with the i7 Mini and upgrade the ram myself. My current Dell computer is about 6 years old with 3GB of ram so the Mini in stock form will be a huge jump in performance. I might just throw an 8GB stick in there (brings it to 12) and call it a day.
I'm looking at a 30" Dell W3000 LCD monitor (1280x786). I think I can find something really nice for $300. or less to replace it. Even a cheap monitor will have better resolution! I'd like to at least be in the 24-27" range though.

My Mac Mini replaced a 2006 iMac. No more iMacs for me! I've had it with the lack of accessibility to the innards, the glassy display, the lack of ergonomic adjustments, the fact that if something breaks the Mac is out of commission while it is being repaired. I can actually replace many Mini hardware components myself.
I'm a fan of NEC displays. They are better-built than Dell yet comparably-priced. Top-notch customer service too.
It's been almost a week and I have never been more satisfied with a Mac: It's powerful, small and quiet as a church mouse. And only $799.
|Nov 1, 2012, 12:17 PM
Mojo, I'm about to get rid of my late '06/early '07 iMac myself.
Seriously looking at a BTO mini with the 2.6 and SSD here, I think a lot of folks are blowing the lack of graphics card out of proportion and think they need more computer than they probably do.

DLC that you would want
What would you want for DLC? I would want some Star Wars vehicles such as the X-Wing Fighter (not like that's ever going to happen).
I'd like more textures/materials to build thinsg with. Not like we don't have plenty already, but I would be fine with some more. : )
"What are you waiting for, Mr. Howel? Start talking into a fish!"
-The Skipper (Early B & W episode of Gilligan's Island)
DLC that adds in some sort of editing garage, where you can freely zoom around Sackboy/Kart for stickering, and possibly a photobooth to pose them
I have a Ph.d in Horribleness
I don't want no effin DLC, not gonna get any DLC right now.
First I want a patch that gives us

Steve Austin column: Today's fighters can't compare with Louis, Patterson, Liston and Ali
OK, who can tell me the name of the current boxing champion of the world in the heavyweight division?
An old radio commentator brought boxing back into my mind recently.
How things have changed in that field of entertainment that was once known as a sport. Before television, people (mostly men with a few boys around the outer edge) would huddle around an AM radio to hear the blow-by-blow description of a championship fight. You could develop an image of the action from the best of the fight broadcasters like Don Dunphy.
A world heavyweight championship fight was an event like the World Series. An event many couldn't and wouldn't miss "come hell or high water."
The fighters were personalities, like the "Brown Bomber" Joe Louis who held the title for 106 months, longer than anyone before or after him. He participated in 27 heavyweight title fights (also a record). He had legendary radio fights in his later years against other greats like Billy Conn, Jersey Joe Walcott and Ezzard Charles.
Trying to recover from a heavy tax debt, Louis took a fight with the indestructible Rocky Marciano late in his career and was pummeled before being knocked completely out of the ring in the eighth round.
Marciano was the first world champion I was really old enough to identify with. He reigned from 1952 to 1956 and won 43 of his bouts (nearly 90 percent) by knockout. He beat an aging Jersey Joe Walcott for the title and finished his career undefeated by beating Archie Moore.
As you can see, fighters back in those days didn't let any moss grow under their feet. Marciano and Louis both averaged more than 10 fights a year in their prime -- something unheard of in later years.
Floyd Patterson was the first heavyweight champion I remember seeing on TV, which was really a treat. In his early days, Patterson fought as a light-heavyweight, but after Marciano announced his retirement Patterson was one of the fighters selected to take part in an elimination tournament to fill the open heavyweight championship.
Patterson fought though the elimination tournament, defeated Archie Moore in the final with a fifth round knockout and became the first ever Olympic gold medal winner to also win the heavyweight title.
Patterson was overpowered by Sonny Liston in a 1962 title bout and suffered a first round knockout by Liston in a rematch six months later.
And a lot of you know what happened next.
TV sets everywhere tuned in to see the "Louisville Lip" Cassius Clay bring excitement to boxing like it had never experienced before. Unorthodox, flashy and cocky, the Olympic gold medal winner, faced "the monster" and champion Sonny Liston.
Clay was a 7-1 underdog against Liston but started wearing him out in the middle rounds and Liston could not come out of his corner for the eighth round.
Muhammad Ali, the name he took after joining the Nation of Islam in 1964, changed boxing from an event to a spectacle. One account has it that Clay had seen the outrageous Gorgeous George at the Garden in Louisville and liked the showboating and sharp tongue of the wrestler. Ali supposedly told a friend "that will sell" and went on to develop his act.
Ali's association and antics with broadcaster Howard Cosell were probably responsible for both men's rise to world wide fame. At one time Ali was named the most recognizable person in the world. He had legendary fights with Joe Frazier and George Foreman with famed manager Angelo Dundee at his side. These fights were so popular that movie theaters would show them and the theaters would be packed.
And he's still extremely popular today-and in my opinion still "The Greatest".
I was attending the Kentucky Derby a few years back, seated on the clubhouse third floor when we heard and noticed a pretty big commotion way down to the right of us. We thought sure the beer and mint juleps had gotten to a couple of spectators, but the roar and almost a wave of people standing continued to grow and move our way.
Minutes later we saw what had caused the commotion. Muhammad Ali was being led down the main aisle in front of us and as he passed each section came to their feet and cheered and applauded as he waived and smiled to the crowd.
Now who is it you said was the current World Heavyweight Boxing Champion?
A little boy wanted $100 very badly to purchase a new bicycle. He prayed for weeks, but nothing happened.
He decided to write a letter to God requesting the $100.
When the postal authorities received the letter to God, USA, they decided to send it to the president.
The president was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5 bill. The president thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.
The little boy was delighted with the $5 bill and sat down to write a thank-you note to God which read:
Dear God,
Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you sent it through Washington, D. C. and those clowns deducted $95 in taxes.

CHICKABALLAPUR: To make Nandi Hills more tourist-friendly, the Department of Horticulture will set up a food court at a cost of Rs. 80 lakh at the hill station, billed as Karnataka's Ooty.
A landscape artist has prepared a plan for the open-air food court on the lines of a similar one in Singapore. The Department of Horticulture, which maintains the hill station, has sent the project estimate to the Public Works Department for cost certification and, the work would commence shortly, Mahantesh Murgod, Special Officer, Nandi Hills, said.
The proposed food court would come up on the picturesque zigzag lawn next to the old school building. All kinds of vegetarian food, beverages, bakery products, ice-creams and fresh fruit juices would be available at the food court, which would become operational in a couple of months, Mr. Murgod told The Hindu.
Once the food court starts functioning, the existing eateries and restaurants at the hill station, except Maurya Pine Top run by Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation, would be closed. The establishment of the food court would help tourists in getting variety and quality food at a reasonable price at one place. It would also prevent the increasing littering at the hill station, he explained.
To provide entertainment to tourists, a band stand would be constructed at Nandi Hills. During weekends and holidays, the Department of Horticulture, in association with the Department of Kannada and Culture, would organise cultural programmes at the band stand. The band stand would come up in the three-and-a-half acre grove, which has hundreds of eucalyptus trees and rain trees in addition to flowering plants. The band stand would be constructed out of the Rs. 30 lakh sanctioned by the Department of Tourism. To prevent the increasing congestion and pollution at Nandi Hills, four-wheelers would not be allowed once the ongoing work on the parking stand near the entrance is ready.

A small brush fire burned less than an acre of hillside on the Valencia campus of College of the Canyons Tuesday afternoon.
The blaze is said to have been started by a discarded cigarette butt near a trash bin, which spread to some pine trees near the welding shop on campus.
No structures were involved or threatened and the fire was knocked down within a half-hour.

School Board discusses pipeline construction project
KANELAND—The Kaneland School Board recently discussed the safety of a pipeline construction project set for later this month.
TransCanada will be working on the natural gas pipelines, which it owns. The area is on the east side of Kaneland High School and will be fenced off. The pipelines total 150 feet in length.
School Board member Tony Valente questioned whether the project could be stopped.
"My child is there," Valente said. "I could imagine what could happen."
Valente said that someone could light a match in the area, and then made a "kaboom" noise to indicate a possible explosion.
Dr. Julie-Ann Fuchs, Kaneland assistant superintendent for business, spoke on behalf of TransCanada, noting that the company empties the lines of natural gas.
Fuchs confirmed this week that the project will entail replacing pipeline sections with a thicker wall and a higher strength pipe.
Groups that will be affected by the construction project include the Kaneland High School Band, Kaneland Future Farmers of America, Kaneland Youth Soccer Organization and Kaneland United Soccer Club.
According to Fuchs, the project is necessary because of the the aforementioned groups' useage of the area—a detail discoved when TransCanada did a flyover to review the property use.
"(TransCanada) noticed an increase of students and/or people using the area near the pipeline," Fuchs said.
She said that nothing has happened to the pipes.
"It's just that (the project) is going to add an extra measure of safety and security to their already safe and reliable system," Fuchs said.
The company will have 24-hour security to make sure the area is secure.
TransCanada will finish property and recreational fields restoration from late November until spring 2015.
Representatives from TransCanada will answer board members' questions at the next meeting, Monday, Sept. 8, at 7 p.m. at Kaneland Harter Middle School.

If you are playing in a fantasy football league in which you have a team defense and special teams, I'm not going to say that you're some kind of fantasy infidel who deserves to be crushed like a bug. I will say that you're not getting the most out of your hobby.
I've seen one fantasy baseball team with a "team pitcher" and I think the same about "Team D" leagues.
In a league that features IDPs, you start players on the defensive side of the ball. Captain, meet obvious. Most IDP leagues are broken up as follows: Defensive line, linebacker, defensive back. There are some leagues that get even more detailed, breaking up DL into defensive ends and defensive tackles and DB into cornerback and safety positions.
Just like the so-called skill-position guys (aka guys who score most of the touchdowns), there is a hierarchy in value in these three main IDP positions. Linebackers are considered to be the running backs. They score the most points, they get the most tackles, and some of the best get turnovers and occasional touchdowns. Defensive linemen are next, even though they score less than defensive backs on average because of the relative scarcity of the position. They aren't as tackle-heavy and you're getting the most value out of sacks and turnovers which are prone to variance. Defensive backs fluctuate a lot, and occasionally the top players in the NFL are not the top scorers.
Take Darrelle Revis, for example. Teams facing him do not throw the ball his way very often, and as we know from RB/WR/TE scoring, reps generally lead to points. It's often a good move to look for the cornerback starting opposite the Pro Bowler to get your value. See 2013 Alterraun Verner. When it comes to safeties, you want "in the box" guys who are going to be close to the ball and get tackles. The free-safety types are often playing center field and don't get many opportunities to score.
To help in the understanding of IDP leagues, I brought in a ringer. Steve Schulz is part of the five-man rotation covering IDP for Fake Pigskin. I asked him some questions.
How'd you get into IDP?
I have been playing fantasy sports (starting with baseball) since about 1996. A group of guys in a small town in Minnesota where I lived spent a year studying crazy fantasy football formats, because I think a few of us were getting bored with the standard snake drafts. They created a salary cap/contracts, IDP league where the top IDP players were on par with the offensive players. That appealed to me greatly. I went into that first year with the idea that everyone would overvalue offensive players — solely because they recognized the names — and would undervalue the defensive guys. So I spent 95 percent of my time getting to know defensive players, and the rest is history.
What's your best plea to get people to switch from team D to IDP?
Two things: variability and fun.
As far as variability, I've been on both sides of seeing your team defense score 1 point and your opponent's score 36. Is it because the latter's defense is 36 times better than the former's? Of course not. Team defenses hinge so much on the big plays: kickoff returns for touchdowns, interception returns. Those are almost completely based on luck. With IDP, there's a lot of variance at some positions, but with linebackers, they're easily as predictable as, say, a top running back.
Secondly, fun is a huge part of it. What does every potential fantasy football player say as their reason to not play fantasy? "I don't know all of the players." What's the response to that? "You won't, until you play fantasy football." And halfway through the season, everyone amazes themselves how they've learned the players. It's the same with IDP. And once you start noticing those guys, the game of football opens up to you. You start paying attention to scheme and personnel. Playing IDP has enhanced my appreciation and enjoyment for the game of football a hundred fold. [Zach note: Another underrated aspect of scoring tackles means that offensive guys who get tackles after turnovers score more. Kicker tackles should be worth 100 points.]
Every play is exciting. You could have your quarterback throw a screen to your opponent's running back. Then your opponent's linebacker hits that running back, forcing the ball out. And then your cornerback picks it up and runs it into the end zone. You can have multiple fantasy players involved in every play. You'll be screaming at your TV: "YES! NO! NO! YES!" on every play.
What are some of your favorite players for 2014? Some of your sleepers by DE/LB/DB in a typical 3/3/2 IDP league.
On the defensive line, I just can't get away from the talent level and potential of three guys who should be stepping into greater roles this year: DaMontre Moore, Margus Hunt and Cornellius "Tank" Carradine. At linebacker, I love Brian Cushing if he can stay healthy, and Nick Roach and Larry Foote can be had at the end of drafts and will put up solid numbers. At defensive back, I think William Moore is really underrated. Everyone is going crazy for Honey Badger and Barry Church because they have a weak linebacker corps in front of them which should give them a lot of tackle opportunities. I think Moore is in the same boat.
Do you have a beer of choice for Thursday and/or Sunday? I am partial to the Rogue beers, and a couple made in Minnesota by the Surly Brewing Company, especially Coffee Bender (yes, it has coffee in it.) I might need the caffeine. I plan to watch every snap of every game.
Do you have any additional sites/podcasts and such besides Fake Pigskin? There are three that I never, ever miss. Footballguys with John Norton and Jene Bramel, the Pro Football Focus IDP show with Jeff Ratcliffe and Ross Miles, and anytime I can listen to Gary Davenport from Fantasy Sharks, I'm all ears. I think Pro Football Focus's advanced stats package is very important too. I like to dig deeper into the stats beyond tackles, assists and sacks and see who is getting close to the quarterback. One guy who just joined our IDP team (there are five of us now) at FakePigskin is Mike Woellert. I read every word he writes. Superb stuff.
It always comes around to podcasts. Be a dear and follow Steve, and try to convert one of your "Team D" leagues into an IDP.

Pope says violence in Iraq offends God and humanity
Published on Aug 10, 2014 9:49 PM
ROME (Reuters) - Pope Francis said that violence and destruction in Iraq offends God and humanity and he held a silent prayer for victims of the conflict during his weekly address in Rome on Sunday.
"We are left incredulous and dismayed by the news coming from Iraq," the Argentine-born Pontiff said, two days after the United States began air strikes to tackle an insurgency that threatens to tear the country apart. "Thousands of people, among them many Christians, banished brutally from their houses, children dying of hunger and thirst as they flee, women kidnapped, people massacred, violence of all kinds, destruction everywhere... All of this deeply offends God and deeply offends humanity."
A hush fell over the crowd in Saint Peter's Square after Pope Francis, who has been tweeting calls to pray for the people of Iraq over the last two days, interrupted his prepared speech to ask for a moment of silence.
He thanked volunteers in Iraq and said his personal envoy Cardinal Fernando Filoni would leave Rome for Iraq on Monday, "to assure those dear people that I am near them".

Former Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson believes that cornerback Antonio Cromartie and linebacker Bart Scott were the anonymous New York Jets who criticized quarterback Tim Tebow.
Tomlinson heard the remarks on his Sirius XM NFL radio program.
Some people have been calling for Mark Sanchez to be replaced as starting quarterback for the 3-6 Jets. Sanchez has the NFL's lowest pass completion rate at 52 percent, and has four red-zone interceptions, a league high. But a Jets defensive starter told the New York Daily News on Wednesday in regard to Tebow, "He's terrible."
Players indicated that they only looked to Tebow as "the wildcat guy, and not as a quarterback."
Scott said Tomlinson was out of line in blaming him. Scott told the New York Post, "That can't be farther from the truth. I ain't ever hid behind junk that I've ever said. I'm not afraid to put my name to it, go to a person and say it to them."
Jets coach Rex Ryan called it "cowardly" to make negative statements in an anonymous manner. Ryan said, according to Gang Green Nation, "If you're not going to put your name to it, I think that's about as cowardly of a thing as there is."
New York's offensive lineman Matt Slauson said on public record that Tebow's skill level was "not even close" to that of Sanchez. Ryan said he respected Slauson for using his name publicly.
Tebow admitted frustration about his teammates' remarks. "I've had criticism my whole life playing football," he said, according to the New York Daily News. "It's not always fun having people saying negative things about you, but you try to be stronger from it. It always has made me stronger in the past and it will continue to make me stronger."
Sanchez supported Tebow, according to an Associated Press report in FOX Sports on MSN, saying, ''I feel for Tim. You wake up the next day and you keep playing.''
Ian O'Connor of ESPN New York said that the Jets overall have been more terrible than Tebow. O'Connor noted that listing all the Jets who have been worse at their jobs than Tebow has been at his would require more time to assemble the list than any defensive coordinator has spent on Tony Soprano's version of the Wildcat.

Following our article on the Arnova 9 G2 / 9 G3 case / keyboard and the comment from our friend cajl, you may wonder how this case looks like and how it fit in the tablet.
The order :
Purchased on Amazon UK website for £ 24.99 (37,10 €), the package was actually sent from France.
The case :
Une fois sortie de son emballage, au premier abord la pochette semble de bonne qualité, la rigité laisse néanmoins quelques doutes sur la finition.
Once unboxed, at first it looks like good quality, but felt a bit rigid and questioned me on the product finish.
After few days of use, the case is getting softer and has a really better fit. But something really unpleasant comes up quick, it get dirty very fast, it easily catch fingerprints and any greasy surface. The back of the case has some hols aligned with the two tablet speakers, so the sound comes out nicely.
All the tablet ports stays accessible. It's especially interesting for the USB port, for those who uses the USB 3g dongle, will appreciate that the dongle insert's well and comfortably stays in.
We'll apreciate the effort of Arnova, in making this case very stable in this position. Unlike the Ipad case, you can change a little bit the viewing angle and the tablet won't fall when you press on the screen.
This other position is more horizontal and is perhaps the most frequent position, for browsing, chatting, writing,… The view is very comfortable but not well fitted for video watching.
Conclusion :
I found this tablet case rather nice looking but a little expensive. My opinion is rather good as a tablet protection and multi position stand case, I was less happy with the average product finish and the material which easily catches fingerprints or gets dirty.
|Usually dispatched within 24 hours
|£ 19.04
|Gewöhnlich versandfertig in 24 Stunden
Generally I agree with the comments above. The thing I would add is that on mine the seams come unglued and I've had to stick them back together with superglue. Also the tablet can move slightly in the case and then you have to reposition it to make the ports line up. I increased the cutout on mine so you can always access the various ports.

The 'Master of Imperfection'
Admit it—you listen to their music every time you're on senti mode. What Filipino hopeless romantic hasn't? The songs of Norwegian act Fra Lippo Lippi have been covered by countless artists and belted out in karaoke bars to the point of insanity since they first invaded our shores decades ago, and for good reason.
Their Philippine tour in 1988 sold out a whopping six times over two weekends, spawning two compilation albums and subsequent visits to the country in the last decade.
When bassist/keyboardist Rune Kristoffersen retired to focus on his record label, Rune Grammofon, vocalist Per Sorensen went on to release his first solo album "Våge," which is entirely in Norwegian, in 2009. His newest album "Master of Imperfection," released just recently, is in English.
Sorensen will be performing as opening act for Tears For Fears' Manila shows on Aug. 10 and 11. In this exclusive e-mail interview with Super, he reveals the secret behind the timelessness of Fra Lippo Lippi's music.
Which of your songs is closest to your heart?
"Beauty And Madness."
"Beauty And Madness" is one of the most beautiful and enduring piano ballads ever written. What was the story behind it?
Rune wrote all the lyrics, the melody is mine. When collaborating with Rune, I always wrote the music first. I can't really say what inspired me, it is one of those songs that was complete when I sat down to write it. All I had to do was to play it. Same thing with "Later," really.
In those days, I was inspired by Tom Waits, his dark songs and films about people that struggle with their lives, which is recognizable in "Beauty And Madness"' mood, I guess.
If you could have anyone do a cover of any of your songs, who would it be and why?
I'm sure Melody Gardot would have done one of my ballads beautiful, the way she sings. And it would have been great to hear a Tom Morello version of "Some People!"
I know for a fact many Filipino artists have already recorded versions of our songs. My wish is that they do it in their own style. Otherwise, you might play the original version.
Are there any new artists that you listen to nowadays?
I like Keane, Coldplay, Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine), Norah Jones and Melody Gardot. And other brilliant artists/composers.
If you could do a collaboration with any artist, who would it be and why?
I'd love to do something with Carole King, whose record "Tapestry" I hold as one of the best albums ever. Also, it would be nice to do a duet with a Filipino artist my age.
What's the one thing you love most about the Philippines? What keeps you coming back?
The people, they show a warmth we're not used to meet where I come from (read: Arctica). I love playing and singing, to communicate with my Filipino fans. It means the world to me.
What do you think makes your music so timeless?
The music and lyrics aren't really limited to one era, and the original recordings sound good even today. Maybe that's why, I don't know.
Any advice for the young songwriters out there?
Be honest, try writing your own way. When you're a teenager, you should emulate other artists, soak up their style. That's the school, you know. Write crappy songs, as many as you can. After a while, you will find your own style, hopefully.
For me, it has always been a triangle; play the piano, sing and compose. These three elements intertwined made it easier to find my own expression, my own style, if you will.

40 min between flightsApr 4, 2015223MAY PSC PASCO - DEN DENVER 1325 1644 UNITED AIRLINES 6368 23MAY DEN DENVER - FRA FRANKFURT 1725 1055 +1 UNITED AIRLINES 8879 operated LH 40 min is it enought to transfer?***Wed, Apr 1It's possible but it depends on your flight from Pasco being on-time. You will have to walk to the center of the B concourse (you will arrive in the end), then take the underground train to the A concourse to board your Lufthansa flight. 41 minutes is possible, but leaves no room for any difficulties.ZAPWed, Apr 1
1 hour 15 minutes lay over.Apr 4, 20152Hi. It's my first time to travel to the US, I'm from Australia. I am travelling with two children, travelling to Toronto, New York, Alabama then Las Vegas. My Alabama to Las Vegas flight has a 1 hour 15 minutes lay over at Denver both flights with United, will I have enough time for transfer? With my Esta and going through customs then racing to go to the next boarding gate? And do I need to recheck my luggage? Hope someone will be able to help me with my queries. Thank you.MMSun, Mar 29Alabama, Denver, and Las Vegas are all in the United States. You do not have to go through Immigration or Customs on domestic flights within the United States. You will go through Security in Alabama. All you have to do in Denver is walk from your arrival gate to your departure gate. Both on the B concourse. You should have plenty of time.ZAPSun, Mar 29Yes you will have plenty of time. even if your first flight is slightly delayed. You will even have some time to grab a snack in the airport if you choose.

Would that be sufficient? thanks for any tips or adviceLondonerSat, Feb 28I think you will have a hard time clearing US Customs (because you are arriving on an international flight) and making it your next flight in time for boarding. You probably need at least 90 minutes.kbar ardSat, Feb 28No, that is not sufficient. You will have to go through US Immigration and customs in Denver and if you are buying a separate ticket, you will also have to claim your bags and take them to the United check-in counter. You need at LEAST 2 hours for this connection.ZAPSat, Feb 28

I was very disappointed with this book. The recipes had pretty much the same oil base (a blend of the same 2 oils and a shortening) with a different herb or essential/fragrance oil combo and a couple also have colorants and herbs. Once any beginner makes their first batch or reads their first recipe, anyone could come up with the same ideas on their own for the other recipes that follow. I would prefer different oil mixes so the reader can have an idea of what different oils would produce in different combinations. Also, part of the reason I got the book was for packaging and decorating section. To my surprise, the "cutting, curing, forming, packaging, and decorating" section is LITERALLY less than 2 pages long and this includes a big photo on each of those two pages. If you copied the whole section (photos included) on a regular 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper, it could fit on one sheet. If you are looking for a book to inspire creativity or give you more than a couple basic ideas for trying new things, this is probably not the book for you.
This book was a gift from someone who knows I make soap. It has good information, great pictures, and recipes that work well. I would recommend this as a second book in soapmaking, not as detailed a reference as others I have. Still a very good book on soaps, though!
This book has taught me everything I know, great for new soapers!
Every receipe I have tried in this book is wonderful! Easy to understand for new soap makers.

I researched the stories on Partsselect, and it looked like this would be a simple repair. Fortunately, it was more simple than I'd thought. We bought the house (and stove) used, and the ignitor apparently had been replaced before, because the part was an EXACT replacement for the old one. I simply unscrewed the two screws holding the old ignitor onto the bracket/burner, pulled the wiring from the back of the oven through the insulation, disconnected the snap connector, reattached the new one. Then I pushed the wiring back through the insulation and added some additional insulation (provided with the part), making sure all extra length was pushed into the insulation. Reattached with two screws using a nut driver, replaced the bottom pan in the oven, slid the door back on its two hinges and started it up. Works perfectly. Thanks Partselect. You guys are great and I had the replacement my mail in about 5 working days!

|Cistanche tubulosa
|Scientific classification
Cistanche is a worldwide genus of holoparasitic desert plants in the family Orobanchaceae. They lack chlorophyll and obtain nutrients and water from the host plants whose roots they parasitize.
Along with other members of the genus, Cistanche deserticola is the primary source of the Chinese herbal medicine cistanche (Chinese: 肉苁蓉, pinyin ròucōngróng). The main sources of cistanche are Cistanche salsa and Cistanche deserticola, although it may also be obtained from Cistanche tubulosa, Cistanche sinensis, and Cistanche ambigua. The drug, known in Chinese as suosuo dayun, is collected in spring before sprouting, by slicing the stems of the plant. Cistanche deserticola has been placed on CITES Appendix 2, a list of endangered species not banned from trade but requiring monitoring. With increased consumption of cistanche, the population of the species has decreased and its area of distribution has shrunk. Aside from over-collection or indiscriminate collection, an important factor in the diminished supply of cistanche is a loss of the saxaul host, Haloxylon ammodendron, which is widely used for firewood.
Cistanche has been used as a medicine for about 1800 years and is recorded in the Shennong Bencao Jing and Bencao Gangmu as a tonic. Most of the medicinal claims have never been evaluated through clinical testing, and those claims that have been examined under controlled medical study are not supported.[1]
Research in laboratory animals[edit]
A variety of pharmacological effects of Cistanche extracts or chemical compounds isolated from Cistanche have been demonstrated in in vitro studies or in rodent models. The chemical constituents responsible for these effects include acteoside, echinacoside, and cistanosides (A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H).[2]
Some of these effects include:
- Cistanche tubulosa extract "exhibits hypocholesterolemic activity in diet-induced hypercholesterolemia mice."[3]
- Polysaccharides isolated from Cistanche deserticola have in vitro immunomodulatory effects in high doses, "promoting the phagocytic and secretory functions of the phagocytic ability of peritoneal macrophage".[4]
- Cistanche salsa extracts enhance antibody production in isolated human lymph node lymphocytes in vitro.[5]
- High doses of the chemical compound acteoside, isolated from Cistanche tubulosa, affected biomarkers related to aging in mice.[6]
- Anti-fatigue properties have been shown in mice. Cistanche deserticola extracts "appeared to enhance the swimming capacity of mice by decreasing muscle damage, delaying the accumulation of lactic acid and by improving the energy storage."[7]
- A laboratory study in mice found that high doses of Cistanches Herba extract (CHE) "significantly enhanced learning and memory, as demonstrated by passive avoidance test and novel object recognition test". These results were determined to be the result of its action in upregulating nerve growth factor.[8]
