The little observation plane was flying low over the jungle, towards a grid reference where a team of US marines had radioed for help. Seated behind the pilot, a 23-year- old lieutenant named Karl Marlantes was watching the ground and wishing the weather would clear. In this uneven war in Vietnam, clear skies gave the Americans the advantage. Fog favoured the indigenous troops.
Recalling the incident from the comfort of a Bloomsbury hotel 40 years later, Marlantes hesitates, unsure whether it is wise to go on with the story. "Do we want to go into this?" he asks.
Yes, I want to go into it, because the ex-lieutenant has recently achieved sudden fame as an articulate witness to a war that holds a unique place in Western culture. I am curious to know what the witness saw.
He continues in a detached tone, neither boastful nor self-justifying: "A reconnaissance team had got into trouble. A fairly good-sized unit were chasing them through the jungle, and they couldn't find a place to extract from.
"There were horrible clouds so we couldn't get any jet aircraft in. I had an M16 [automatic rifle] with me. The windows had been shot out from the aircraft long ago. The pilot put it into a sideways slip between the recon team, and I fired at them from out of the window. I remember hitting a couple of them."
In other words, with his rifle he killed a couple of teenage boys in Vietnamese uniforms doing what they had been told to do. From here, the story gets worse: "The marines got up on a hill, and the North Vietnamese were coming up the hill after them, when the weather cleared – just enough. I directed in a couple of jets who hit them with 500lb bombs, and napalm.
"It was unbelievable after that, to see those bodies charred, some of them still crawling around, and I knew it was just directly me. I was exultant because I had saved the recon team. I said to the pilot: 'We've got crispy critters all over this hill!'"
This same man who once derived such a high from bringing agonising death to teenage conscripts is now a thoughtful 65-year-old, who has written a sensationally successful novel. Matterhorn, a 600-page epic, is shaped like an adventure story except that it is an adventure without meaning. Every feat of physical endurance, every act of bravery, the comradeship, the horrible injuries and the violent deaths – they all have no point.
The general futility is shown up in the circular journey taken by Bravo Company, the central characters of the story. They begin on a hill near the North Vietnamese and Laos borders which the Americans have nicknamed "Matterhorn".
Although they are exhausted by their constant patrolling of the surrounding jungle, they are ordered to construct bunkers to defend the hill. On the day that task is done, orders change. They have to leave the hill, for the jungle. In their absence, the North Vietnamese move in, and Bravo Company ends up being slaughtered in an uphill assault against their own defence works.
For most of the narrative, however, they are in more danger from the climate, the leeches, mosquitoes and tigers, the stupidity of officers and their own murderous quarrels than from the Vietnamese. The adrenaline rush they experience from killing their teenage enemies is like a perk that makes soldiering worthwhile.
What makes this grim narrative so compelling is the wealth of meticulous detail, the sharply drawn characters, and the author's insight into how large organisations function. If the circumstances were not so extreme the relations between frontline troops, their officers, and the senior brass back at headquarters could be the story of management and employees anywhere. I was told that each time Marlantes steps into a television studio to publicise the book someone tells him: "It's exactly the same here!"
That he is able to move so confidently between generals and enlisted men is a by-product of the epic struggle he had finding a publisher.
He started writing what he hoped would be the definitive Vietnam novel round about the time that North Vietnamese tanks were finally rolling into Saigon, in 1975. When he started looking for a publisher two years later he found that "they didn't even read it, because there was no market for Vietnam. I would get comments like, 'It sounds pretty long. We don't do big books.'"
When it eventually reached a publisher many years later, it was – oddly – through a chain of women. This is odd because the book has no female characters, except in one brief scene in a military hospital. Yet the first professionals to recognise its merit were all women. The first person to read it professionally was a senior editor in a tiny, not-for-profit publishing firm called El Leon, in Berkeley, California. She persuaded her boss to produce a print run of 2,000 copies. The book was submitted for a prize sponsored by the Barnes & Noble book chain, where it was read by a woman volunteer, who enthused about it to the woman who ran the programme, who passed the recommendation on to her boss – Barnes & Noble's senior buyer of fiction. It was she who persuaded a mainstream New York publisher to take it up.
Meanwhile, frustrated in his ambition to be a published novelist, Marlantes had spent the intervening decades working as an energy sector consultant, and for a time as managing director of a Singapore-based firm producing batteries, periodically disappearing into the basement at home to continue work on the book.
Writing it was a kind of therapy, as he had left Vietnam suffering from what we now know as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. As well as visiting death upon others, he had come close to it himself several times. The first time was on about his third day in Vietnam, when he was one of a company of soldiers taken by helicopter to do patrol duty in the jungle.
"I didn't even have to hit the ground before I got shot at," he said. "The first thing I remember was sitting with my back against the bulk-head, and pht-pht-pht-pht-pht – holes started appearing in the skin of the chopper, and I went, 'Oh my God, they're shooting at me!' Of course, I didn't think 'us'. I took it personal."
About a week later, his company came upon a Vietnamese patrol guarding a jungle hospital. One of the young marines took a bullet that went through his breast pocket into his heart. It was the first time that Lt Marlantes had seen someone being killed.
In the dead youth's pocket he found a photograph of his girlfriend, her face obliterated by the bullet. "It just was stunning. If you wrote it in a novel you would say that's hokey to have the bullet go right through the girlfriend's face. It was so poignant to me, because it was a high-school photograph."
At this point in our conversation, the normally articulate writer stumbled over his sentences: "I can get into tears just thinking about...His name was..." He gave the dead teenager's name, but immediately pleaded, "Don't put that in, please. I remember him so well."
Another killing he was involved in made it into the novel almost as it happened. Several months into his time at war, he came face-to-face with a young Vietnamese soldier wielding a grenade. Marlantes had his rifle trained on the soldier, but instead of experiencing the kick he sometimes got from killing, he found himself wanting to spare the teenager's life. "I don't know what it was. I think it was because our eyes had contact. We called them 'gooks'; we didn't think of them as kids. But here was a kid looking me right in the eye and I didn't want to kill him, but he threw the grenade at me and I did."
Marlantes had joined the Marines reserve after leaving high school, but had not immediately been sent to Vietnam. As a reserve officer, he started at University College, Oxford in 1967, holding a Rhodes Scholarship a year ahead of Bill Clinton. But he was overcome by guilt that he was "hiding behind privilege" instead of fighting in the war in which five boys from his old high school, in a small town in Oregon, had already died.
He took out all his scholarship money and absconded to Morocco, before reporting early for active duty dressed in "a djellaba and yellow slipper shoes, smelling like a camel, and with hair down to my shoulders". He was sent to Vietnam, where he served for just over a year, assuming he would never see Oxford again.
On leave in the US he developed symptoms of a mental breakdown, including heavy reliance on alcohol and drugs. He was also badly affected by the reactions of contemporaries who had turned against the war, and who now saw the marines as killers of innocent Vietnamese.
On one occasion, he was trying to make an impression on a woman he fancied. Sitting on the steps of her apartment block, he confessed that he had been in Vietnam as a marine. "They were the worst!" she exclaimed, and turned to walk back into the building and out of his life.
It was during this personal crisis that deliverance came in the form of a letter from Sir Edgar Williams, the former British army officer who ran the Rhodes Scholarship scheme, telling him that a sum exactly the matching the amount that he had blown in Morocco awaited him in a branch of Barclay's Bank in Oxford High Street. "That's all he said. I just started crying. I knew it meant that I could come back to Oxford," he said.
But his symptoms would return with a vengeance some years later. Walking into a board meeting in Singapore, he saw corpses piled on the table, and realised he would have to quit his job and seek therapy.
Despite what he has been through, Marlantes has been accused of glossing over the worst of what we know about the Vietnam War to tell a story that vindicates the young men sent out to fight. He omitted some of what he himself saw, including the dreadful effects of napalm. Edward Wilson, another Vietnam veteran who has written a less acclaimed novel, has furiously denounced Marlantes's work as "cartoon war porn of the lowest sort". Marlantes's answer is that he has written a novel, not a political tract.
"Does [Wilson] call Wilfred Owen and Tolstoy pornographers because they reveal an actual reality that humans go through?" he demanded. "This is fiction. My characters are 19-year-olds and are not highly educated. They do not think about the politics, and this book is not about politics. My own view about the war is that we killed hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese and dropped Agent Orange all over the country, not to mention killing 60,000 of our side. Those are my politics. If that's what you set out to do, to write a political book, maybe you should stick to history.
"My characters would not think of that and, let's face it, most of the people who were doing the fighting in the war were like my characters. The ones who thought otherwise stayed home."
Another factor is that he spent his months in the jungle near the border, where there were no villages and no guerrillas. Atrocities like the massacre of villagers in My Lai took place many miles further south. Yet even in this novel, the fighting men with whom he identifies so strongly are depicted cutting off the ears of dead Vietnamese for souvenirs.
And there is an almost throwaway sentence in which the reader is told that the US soldiers are casually killing enemy soldiers who have their hands up. In battle, they are overcome by blood lust which makes them exult in death.
One of Marlantes's disturbing claims is that almost any teenager who is given a weapon and thrown into a situation such as this will get a high out of inflicting violence on his opponents.
"I call it the Mad Monkey. My guess is that anybody put into that situation, when it's a matter of saving their side, would exalt when it happens. Some people would claim that they'd say 'no'. They're just kidding themselves. Or maybe there are some people who are probably much more peaceful than I am. I did join the marines." If he is right, we can expect worse stories than his to come out when veterans start writing dispassionately truthful accounts from Iraq or Afghanistan – where the killing may be more impersonal if the killer is rarely close enough to make eye contact with his victim.
"I have always been happy that we didn't have the moral dilemmas that they're facing in Afghanistan or that the [US] army faced [in Vietnam] with villagers and Vietcong. With us, anything that moved was a North Vietnamese soldier in uniform, so there was none of this horrible moral dilemma which our kids are facing now. We call them soldiers or marines, when actually they're just kids. It is a shame to put 19-year-olds into that position," he said.

Yet another reason not to eat that nasty shit. From io9.
Cooked squid inseminates woman's "tongue, cheek and gums"
Here's a story that could put you off calamari for a while.
According to a scientific paper from the Journal of Parasitology, a 63-year-old Korean woman "experienced severe pain in her oral cavity immediately after eating a portion of parboiled squid along with its internal organs."
She spat out the food in her mouth, but still had a "pricking and foreign-body sensation" in her oral cavity. When she went to the hospital, they removed a dozen "small, white spindle-shaped, bug-like organisms stuck in the mucous membrane of the tongue, cheek, and gingiva."
Yes, the dead squid's spermatophores were still active, and they'd inseminated the woman's mouth.

- Crawford Spec S3L Pistons
- X-Beam Forged Rods
- Rated* up to 600whp (750bhp)
All components engineered & manufactured by Crawford Performance have been tested for ultimate performance and maximum dependability on and off the race track. Our rigorous testing and numerous accolades assure our clientele that we at Crawford Performance demand the best of ourselves and the products we create. Our clients deserve nothing less.
The most versatile and most popular Crawford Shortblock in the "S" series just happens to be the S3L-X. It's engineered around a new EJ257 semi closed deck block that incorporates a counterweighted and balanced 79mm forged STI crankshaft, longer Crawford Performance Billet X-beam rods and Crawford designed 99.5mm offset forged pistons. Incorporated into the block are high performance STI main and rod bearings and STI piston rings. These Genuine STI components allow for maximum safety and reliability, because why fix what's not broken? No cheap knock off parts here. To keep with our high quality standards, we use Crawford offset wristpins to decrease the piston noise associated with forged pistons. It is helpful to note, the Crawford Billet X-beam rods serve two purposes; 1) to increase the rod ratio which allows for smoother and efficient power delivery and 2) the X-beam rods used in this motor are hefty strong rods designed to withstand the power produced with race fuel & high boost levels.
*There are too many factors in a performance build to put an exact number to this motor's horsepower and torque potential, so we give each of our motors a "Rated Output" number. We have seen our S3L-X builds withstand up to 600whp (750bhp). But no worries, if this isn't enough to satisfy that itch for more power, than choose the FSR Time-Attack forging for the pistons, which is built to withstand numbers as high as 800bhp (more info below).
The final compression ratio of this motor is 8.3 to 1. F
- New 2.5-Liter Semi-Closed Turbo Block
- New Subaru STI Forged Crank
- New STI High Performance High Mileage Piston Rings
- CP-Designed Forged and Strengthened X-Beam Long Rods
- CP-Designed Forged Pistons
- CP-Designed Case Hardened and Heat Treated Wrist Pins
- Professionally Balanced and Assembled
Crawford Performance S3L Pistons
- Dome/Dish requires no deburring or preparation
- 2618 T6 high tensile forged aluminum
- Crawford Performance pistons are specifically engineered for extreme applications up to, and including, professional competition. In this environment, the higher compression ratios, highest boost or heavy nitrous usage necessitate the higher tensile strength 2618 aluminum alloy.
FSR Forging Upgrade ($250)
- Time Attack FSR (Forged Side Relief), designed by Crawford initially for our 2008 STI Time Attack Champion: 'Tony the Tiger'. We developed this concept alongside our piston manufacturer to create a piston with strength like no other
- Features reinforced structure, a reduced skirt width to reduce friction, and shorter wrist pins to reduce weight (when compared to traditional "full round" style forgings)
- The ultimate combination of low-friction, light-weight design with increased stability and strength
- Ideal for high octane, high horsepower applications making more than 600 whp
- - -
We recommend that certain parts be replaced new when installing a new Short Block in to your vehicle. We have assembled a kit that includes each piece, down to break-in oil.

Chapter Nine
Chapter Nine
Mitchell's headlights faded into the distance, leaving a cold silence hovering around those who remained. The wind howled high above, making the leaves rustle quietly. It was Amanda who broke the silence first.
"Well, we'd best get inside, it's a bit nippy out here," she said. "How'd you kids like a tour?"
"Mind if we got some sleep first?" Garrett asked, with a yawn. "I'm still trying to adjust to this new time zone."
Amanda's smiled warmed. "Sure, honey. Come on, I'll show you to your rooms."
She took a child on each arm and led them up the front steps. Immediately inside the front door was a large and spacious living room. The room was filled with artifacts from the colonial days. New furniture was spread among the plush carpet and pictures adorned the walls.
"We have spare rooms upstairs and downstairs. Who wants what?"
"I'll take one downstairs," Garrett said. "I'm… kind of afraid of heights."
"Even inside a house?" Eva hadn't meant for the question to sound as judgmental as it did. Garrett's face turned scarlet and he diverted his gaze to the floor. "Sorry," Eva apologized quickly. "I just mean… I'm sorry."
"That's fine, Garrett," Amanda said. "Evan, why don't you take Garrett downstairs and show him his room." Evan nodded and led Garrett into the kitchen and then took a right and disappeared down a flight of stairs.
"Come on, Brooke," Amanda said. "We'll give you a room upstairs. Are you okay with that?"
It took a moment for Eva to realize that Amanda was addressing her. Brooke,she thought. I'm Brooke now. She smiled at Amanda.
"Yeah, that's fine."
She followed Amanda back through the living room to a set of stairs that faced opposite the front door. At the top, Amanda gestured to a room on her right. "This'll be yours."
Once again, Eva was met with a room of white.
Amanda must have read the dissatisfaction on Eva's face because she said, "Tomorrow, Evan and I will take you and Garrett shopping. We'll get you some new clothes and stuff for your rooms. Sound like fun?"
Eva turned around and smiled. "Yeah." As Amanda turned to leave, Eva asked, "Amanda?"
Eva paused. "Is that your real name? Or do you have to pretend like Garrett and I do?"
Amanda sighed and smiled sadly. "No, honey. Amanda's not my real name. And… only Evan and I are pretending. This is yours and Garrett's life now."
With those words, she shut the door.

✓ Good all Year round
✓ Adventure & Activity, Wildlife
✓ 5 years+
South Africa's Eastern Cape is a super safari spot for children of all ages: both its landscapes and waters are teeming with exciting animals;many lodges cater brilliantly for kids (think junior ranger programmes and footie matches against the locals);and some reserves are malaria free, meaning you needn't worry about the mossies.
You'll know you're somewhere special straight away...Cape Town is one of the world's most dramatically located cities, squeezed between the ocean and Table Mountain. And Cape Grace, right on the waterfront, makes a magical base here. When you've explored the city, you can relax by the hotel's heated pool or listen to storytellers weave African tales.
The nearby Winelands region might sound as if it's more suited to Mum and Dad –but is equally intoxicating for the under-18s. At Babylonstoren, one of the oldest Cape Dutch farms, kids can collect their own breakfast eggs from the chickens then join the duck herder with his charges as they enter the vineyards to eat the snails (the ducks that is, not the children!). Families can canoe on the dam and cycle through the orchards too –there are 200 hectares of working farm to explore.
Hermanus is the self-declared whale-watching capital of the world, and between July and December hundreds of southern right whales swim by, so close you can see them from the shore (great if the kids get a little sea-sick). You might see other creatures off the coast too –from dolphins to sharks!
The Garden Route region of South Africa is packed with private reserves and centres where the game-viewing is incredible and the focus is on families. You can get up-close to cheeky chappies at the Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary, stroll trunk-in-hand with Dumbo at the Elephant Sanctuary and take a cheetah for a walk at Tenikwa Wildlife Awareness Centre.
To see the Big Five –lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo –head for the malaria-free Shamwari Game Reserve. As well as heading out on safari with keen-eyed guides, you can visit the rescued lions at the Born Free Foundation Big Cat Rescue Centre.
Or stay at Tuningi in the Madikwe Game Reserve (also malaria free) to learn how to be a wildlife ranger. Kids can head out on treasure hunts, looking for bones and snake skins;trace animal tracks around waterholes;make animals from clay;toast marshmallows on a bush barbecue;and keep a log book of everything they've spotted, from trees to poo!
Did you know...
- The marine Big Five is whales, sharks, dolphins, seals and penguins
- Milkwood trees, found on the Grootbos Reserve, live for more than 1,000 years
- A baby lion is called a cub, a whelp or a lionet
- Most snakes shed their skin four to eight times a year
- Capuchin monkeys like to rub millipedes on themselves –they act as an insect repellent!
- The hardened patches of skin around the 'nose' of a southern right whale are as unique as a fingerprint
The Boring Bit
- Airline routes –London Heathrow direct to Cape Town and Johannesburg
- Flying time –11+ hours (GMT +2 hours)
- Visas –Not required by UK nationals. Note, those travelling with children under the age of 18 need to take an unabridged birth certificate for each child to show at immigration
- Health considerations –The game reserves in Southern Cape are malaria free. Yellow fever certificate required if coming from an endemic area. Please consult your GP

Your Challenge
- As organizations expand, so too must the network. Generally, these network expansions have been completed on the fly, implementing new infrastructure as requirements demand.
- As a result of these ad hoc upgrades, network equipment varies in age and efficiency, resulting in a need to modernize equipment to deliver the best connections to employees as well as customers.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- With the right appliances in place, network traffic and server usage can be optimized, leading to cost savings, efficiency gains, and high availability of applications to keep operations running smoothly.
- As organizations modernize their networks, they will be drawn into a new set of considerations as network demands become apparent. Networks will require flexibility and agility to support dynamic demand for growth, speed, and security.
- This evolution should be planned in advance, considering the changing needs of the data center/core network, WAN, edge access network, external connectivity, and non-corporate devices.
Impact and Result
- Create a flexible network that can respond to changing needs throughout the organization quickly and easily.
- Reduce the cost of managing network resources through automation and new tools.
- Prepare the network for a stress-free implementation of new technologies.
1. Optimize the network across the organization
Create an efficient and cost effective network.
2. Communicate with stakeholders

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday, and are looking forward to ringing in the New Year with family, friends, or maybe a quiet night at home.
Massachusetts got walloped with our first major snow storm of the season Sunday, and we're currently digging out from almost 18 inches of fresh, white snow.
If you ask me in March, I'll be the first to say winter is my least favorite season. The cold. The snow. Parking bans. The constant digging out only to be buried in again. It can really wear on you after months and months of it.
But, it's not March, and it hasn't been months and months of non-stop snow. So, this winter storm didn't bother me at all. In fact, aside from having to leave my parents a little earlier than expected Sunday morning, I kind liked it.
There's something about the first snow storm that makes me love living in New England. The anticipation of the pending storm, and excitement when the first few flakes start to fall. The coziness of being inside while the wind and cold roars outside. Re-emerging when the storm is over to find the world all bright white and undisturbed. It's pretty neat.
And not to mention, shoveling snow is great exercise, and sure beats going to the gym!
So, it's safe to say I'm officially in the winter spirit. I'm excited to break out my skis and hit the slopes. I'm looking forward to trying ice skating again this year (although judging by my attempt last year, I have a long way to go before I can ever consider myself "good".) I'm even excited to maybe go sledding, or build a snowman. Anything that gets me outside in the fresh air sounds good to me.
However, with all this being said, I was prepared for this storm, which makes it much, much easier to enjoy. The last thing you ever want is to find yourself snowed in with no food or supplies. Batteries, blankets, non-perishable food, bottled water, and a charged cell phone are all must-haves in case you find yourself stuck and without power.
Did you get hit by snowmaggedon? How do you prepare for winter storms? Do you wing it, or rush to the grocery store/gas station/hardware store to stock up on essentials, just in case? And, most importantly, what is your favorite way to enjoy the fresh, white blanket of snow you find outside your door when the storm is over?

The Ties That Bind (6 of 12) by Stan Coffey
This content is part of a series.The Ties That Bind (6 of 12)
Series: Dynamic Truths For Difficult Times
Stan Coffey
I Peter 2:4-9
I want you to take God's Word and turn to I Peter 2. We are going to be looking at the same verses as we did last time, but I am preaching a different message entitled "The Ties That Bind."
1 Peter 2:4-9 "To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;"
The ties that bind; there are three areas I want you to see concerning the ties that bind us together. The first of these is that God says in this passage that we are stones in the same building. Here the body of Christ, the church, is compared to a spiritual house, to a spiritual building. And he said just as Jesus is that living stone and we are to build our lives upon Him, and the living stone denotes the supernatural life that we have in the Lord Jesus Christ, that also we are living stones. We are living stones because the One who gives life dwells in us. And we make up a spiritual house of God. We are stones in the same building.
Have you ever heard that expression, "a chip off the old blo ...

The London Borough of Ealing
Ealing Ealing is one of west London's prettiest boroughs and hosts Britain's largest free jazz festival each year in August. The festival features a wide variety of bands playing lunch-time and evening concerts each day in Walpole Park. Ealing is a shopper's paradise with everything from major chains to specialist shops, an antiques and craft market, farmers' market and the capital's only remaining agricultural market in Southall Park. Packed with historic buildings and heritage sites, Ealing is home to Pitshanger Manor and Gallery, the former country home of Sir John Soane, Architect of the Bank of England. The attraction contains an extensive display of Martinware Pottery and is being restored to its original splendour. Additionally, the Grand Union Canal, opened in 1798 to link the Midlands with London, runs right through the borough. Now used for leisure purposes, visitors can enjoy a stroll along the canal, taking in the Hanwell Flight of Locks in Windmill Lane, Hanwell.

Nah, everybodies carry method is a highly individual thing. Much will depend on how you dress. If you can dress casual while carrying it will be a much easier job with your 1911. Wish I could give you an easy answer on holster choice but different holsters work better for different folks. The right holster shouldn't bother your hip barring physical problems.
A good approach is to call and talk with some of the better holster makers, many are on this forum. They've seen alot and are suprisingly honest about who their products work best for.
Good luck!

Cardhu 12 Year Old70cl / 40%
- Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
- Distillery Bottling
- In Stock
- Express delivery available
While it's not often seen here in the UK, Cardhu is the biggest selling single malt whisky in Spain, with its soft, sweet character the perfect match for the warm climate. Cardhu 12 is the perfect drink for the summer – it's great on its own, but why not try it with a block of ice, or served long with a splash of water, mizuwari style.

Cardhu 12 Year Old Reviews
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes by Stuart P
Nose: Sweet and fruity, with aromas of grilled pineapple, honey-soaked pears and fresh melon. Notes of cut grass, hay and ripe mango, too – very appetising.
Palate: Soft, silky mouthfeel, with plenty of pineapple and mango up front, followed by honey, banana and toffee, with some dried-fruit and vanilla richness. Very approachable, but still decent levels of complexity.
Finish: Soft and fruity, with the raisin and honey notes lingering the most.
Producer's Notes
Appearance: Golden honey.
Nose: At full strength, heady, nose prickle, pear drops and tightly integrated heather, resin and sweet honey-nut notes. Enticing. Intriguing. With a little water, still harmonious but less pronounced, allowing some malt-cereal, soft, spicy wood, moorland and faint traces of wood-smoke to appear.
Body: Soft, pleasing, medium.
Palate: Palate Well balanced, smooth mouthfeel; short punch, sweet and fresh, then a pronounced drying effect. Enjoyable at any time, with little or no water.
Finish: Quite short. Some lingering sweet smoke in the attractive, drying aftertaste.
56 Customer Reviews
My main go to Single Malt. A dram or two can really smooth out a bad day. A treat for the palate.
cardhu 12 year old it bee cool
I'm a guy who tends to go for sherry, peat or coastal malts. I always forget about the "plain" ones. We're in the middle of a heat wave in NYC so I figured I'd give this malt that the Spaniards day is so great for warm weather a shot. It reminds me a little bit of a softer sweeter Dalwhinnie. On those there is heather/ honey and vanilla. Very sweet. On the palate you get something like hazelnut gelato and some underlying fruit. Maybe pears? The finish is short with a hint of smoke. There is a short, slightly bitter aftertaste that I can't place that is not unpleasant. Great stuff that I might not want all the time but is a great change of pace for dedicated sherries/Islay/coastal malt lover
My favourite
"Nose" (undiluted) Fruity, apple blossoms, citrus and then some ashy peat with decaying leaves. "Palate" (undiluted) Initially gripping before transitioning to very sweet pears, apple, demerara sugar cubes, oak and vanilla. Kinda like drinking the syrup of Delmonte's fruit cup with a flourish of spice and oak. "Finish" (undiluted) Peppered malt, a slightest of hints of anise, pomegranate, brazil nuts, and well . . . peppermints.
Superb. A beautifully smooth whisky without the afterburn some of the more peaty varieties have. Excellently priced making this an affordable regular treat.
delicious nose and taste
It has become my new favorite. Smooth with a delightful flavour. Oban has moved to the back of the shelf.
I think is a good product, I came across this whiskey on 1988, I bough at the Duty Free in Guarulhos International Airport in Sao Paulo/ Brazil. Excellent, that Single Malt, then after I return to the US, on the 90s, they change the label and box to red and and name Pure Malt, I don''t really know what happen also change the old taste from the Single Malt to Pure Malt and the taste was different, however today I stop by the liquor store Spec''s and saw the Cardhu again, in a new box, and name Single Malt, I will try next time to see if is the old taste of 1988 or not. I will buy a bottle next time and give my reviews.
Always buy a bottle at Malaga Duty Free before coming home after a trip to Spain. My fav tipple. Smooth and relaxing. Beats other more expensive whisky''s in taste and price.
this drink have only one problem you can't have enough of it, price quality is perfectly balanced, every drop of it deserves the money you spent for it.
I was given a bottle for my birthday and it was one of the nicest whiskies that I have ever had the pleasure of tasting and I have sampled many in my time. I am going on holiday in the not too distant future and I shall be making sure that a bottle of this fine whisky will be accompanying me.
I was given this for a present, not hugely impressed by the contents: it's an OK Speyside malt but there is something slightly cardboardy / bitter about the taste for me. Glenrothes, Benriach, Glenlivet, Aberfeldy do this style better.
This is the core malt for Johnnie Walker Black Label and is a favourite in Spain on account of its sweetness and easy gentle style. As a result it must be in high demand. A little flat for my taste but a great standby whisky when an easy-going digestif is required.
Since Aberlour 10 Year Old can no longer be found in the U.S., this Cardhu 12 steps up to take its place--and does a right fine job of it, too!
If you are looking for that big smokey peaty flavor that a lot of long time scotch drinkers like this is not for you but if u are into a great tasting easy to drink unbelievably smooth whiskey this is the one . My new favorite
Well Im gunna have to break ranks and say im slightly dissapointed with this one. Its thoroughly decent, dont get me wrong; but at the same price you can get malts that blow this one out of the water. I just found this one a little ubiquitous and unchallenging.
I confirm Joe Strieter's comment. You can find Cardhu in EVERY bar and supermarket in Spain. Cardhu was my first "quality" Scotch, and is what got me interested in whisk(e)ys. I highly recommend this one for beginners. Easy to drink with enough noticeable flavours, but not as complex as a seasoned whiskey drinker might look for. As I don't want to waste expensive whiskey on non whiskey drinkers, I'll be picking up a bottle of this for tonight's New Years party.
My new personal favorite! pushing Ardbeg 10 and Glenfiddich 12 down the ladder, smooth, sweet, awesome.

Reviews for Send Later
80 reviews for this add-on
Lacking the option to send tomorrow morning Rated 4 out of 5 stars
It would be perfect if we could set a default time to be sent the next day (extra/new option: Tomorrow), so that we can schedule emails going out in the morning the day after a holiday, for example. But in general I would like to be able to set a date/timestamp as a default, and then have the option to override or confirm it each time.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.1.2).
You can do all that
You can do all of that already. Please see the user guide. https://blog.kamens.us/send-later/
Excellent Add-on Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This is a great add-on -- well designed, and easy to use. I've been using this on a daily basis for many months now, and would recommend it to anyone using Thunderbird. Also, the developer was extremely helpful and responded very quickly to a question I had. Highly recommended!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.1.2).
Follow-up to Send Later Problem Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I was trying to be nice b/c I do like the concept and it apparently works really well on other platforms. In addition, I think developers of free add-ons should be given lots of emotional support since the pecuniary rewards may be few and far between.
That said, your response to my comment was remarkably tone-deaf. Instead of acknowledging that immediately after I installed your add-on my system began to freeze/hang and that the problem stopped as soon as I removed it, you flat-out insisted the add-on couldn't be the cause of the problem. You recommend a fix, good. But you could have done so without denying that the problem I described was secondary to installation of the add-on. I hope and trust you will take this suggestion in the supportive spirit in which it is offered.
Does its job well Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Works as promised, with no significant bugs found on our end just yet. Great for when you want to reach clients first thing in the morning but want to prep the email the night before.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.1).
Perfect! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Funktioniert einwandfrei! Herzlichen Dank!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.1).
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Sehr nützliches Tool, verschafft einem oftmals nötigen Aufschub und sorgt dennoch für Seriosität beim Empfänger. Funktioniert seit Jahren tadellos!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.1).
Fantastic! (+small bug to fix) Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thank you for this fantastic add-on! This functionality is extremely useful, and I've been looking for it for very long on Thunderbird!
I have noticed something I find a bit problematic. When you accidentally select a date and hour which are not in the future but in the past, the email is sent immediately. I think you should add a warning message pointing out that the user probably mispecified the date and time he wanted for the dispatch.
EDIT: Thanks for your quick reply!
Good idea!
That's a good idea. I'll add it to my to-do list to be implemented as time permits.
These are the add-ons that contribute to make a beter world. Rated 5 out of 5 stars
It just does what it says on the tin. A must have.
I use this add-on to send reminders for the deadlines: I just write the message when I set the deadline, and also the message with the reminder for 20 days later, and then i just forget about it.
Thank you!
Life Saver Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I use this add on every day. I work late at night and don't want my clients to see emails from me at 3 am, so I set them up to be sent around 7 am. It works and I love it!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.1).
The missing piece Rated 5 out of 5 stars
The only function I regularly used in Outlook and missed in Thunderbird was the possibility to specify a time and date when to send a message. An Add-On with the name "Send Later" was quickly found and installed.
Now that I tried it, I find the name "Send Later" to be a massive understatement of this app's capabilities. While it gives you the possibility to easily send emails at a later stage (and with a lot more comfort than Outlook's function at that!) , it allows you an immense level of customization.
You want to send every email with a delay of 15 minutes, in case you change your mind? No problem. You want to send your email on a specific time and date? No problem. You want to send your email immediately if it's business hours or else the next day? No problem. You want to send an email only when it's full moon? Well, not built-in, but with a bit of JavaScript you can do just about anything. :)
Really, great app. Thanks to the dev for making this available for free and open source.
Thank you!
Works great! I use it every day Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I often write up e-mails when the thought occurs to me. However, I don't always want to bother the recipient just because I thought of something. This allows me to send information to people when I want them to have it. It's useful every day!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.1).
Helps me with organization! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I love this add-on because some weeks, I have a lot of time, and I can think ahead to reminder emails I need to send out to people. I just schedule it to send the next week (when I know I'll be busy and forget!) and it keeps our organization on track. I also use it to schedule to send birthday emails, so I don't forget when the actual birthday happens.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.1).
Very useful and complete Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This is a feature that Tbird lacks and many of people have a need for this. I don't use it often, but when I need it, I'm glad it's there.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.1).
Get SEND LATER Now Rated 5 out of 5 stars
If I only used it for preparing birthday emails and holiday emails in advance and scheduling their delivery I would be pleased. But the newest version offers an opportunity to set a default delay in sending ANY email I write. This is not a feature of Thunderbird so having a facility to give me a chance to stop an email a moment or two after sending it (I made my default 2 minutes, I'm pretty slow in the morning to rethink my actions) is priceless.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.1). This user has a previous review of this add-on.
Excellent add-on Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Unmissable add-on for the send-button "trigger-happy" like myself ;)This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.1).
Use it now, and send them later Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I am using this extension to send email "just on time", on work hour. Stop sending mails @3 AM... ("No, I was not spending my time playing WoW) I am sending them at 8:12, taking my cup of coffee :) "Oh yes, I am already working for you"
I recommend it !
does the job very well Rated 5 out of 5 stars
simple and efficient, thanks!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (5.1).
Works well, easy to use Rated 5 out of 5 stars
now my coworkers wont know that I was up at 4am working. I like that I can move the toolbar next to the regular send button and set the time without having to go through another dialogue.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (5.1).
Send Now button is gone - need it back Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Love this add-on, but the latest update removed the Send Now button from the dialog. I have all of our users setup to ONLY have the Send Later dialog as their only option for sending email and this has everyone confused and unsure how to send a message immediately.
This is a 5-star add-on, and I'll change my review from 1-star as soon as I can resolve this issue.
EDITED: Thanks for explaining the issue and offering it as an option! Keep up the great work. Review changed back to 5 stars!
Back in release 5.2
EDITED: The information below is unfortunately incorrect. Please see the version notes for release 5.2.1 of the add-on for a complete explanation (it's really too long to explain here).
The release notes for version 5.1 say:
>>> In a further effort to reduce confusion about the "Put In Outbox" and "Send Now" buttons in the Send Later dialog, the "Put In Outbox" button is now only visible when the dialog is popped up using "File | Send Later" or Ctrl-Shift-Enter, and the "Send Now" button is now only visible when the "'Send' Does 'Send Later'" preference is enabled and the dialog is popped up using "File | Send Now" or Ctrl-Enter.
Since release 5.1, I've heard from a number of people including you whose workflows depended on both buttons being present. This is yet another example of "no good deed goes unpunished" -- often when I make a change attempting to make the add-on work better for some people, I find out too late that it makes it work worse for others, and I unfortunately don't have enough beta testers to catch these situations before they go out to everyone.
Because of these workflows of which I was unaware, I just released version 5.2 with a preference you can enable if you want the "Send Now" and "Put in Outbox" buttons both to be displayed all the time. You'll get this release automatically when the addons.mozilla.org editors approve it, or you can download and install it from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/send-later-3/versions/5.2 , after which you can open the add-on preferences and check the box to bring the "Send Now" button back.
Great addin for Thunderbird, works great ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I have been using this little program for a number of years now and it enables me to send individual emails out to my customers rather than BCC copies or having our customers emails listed to everybody. Great little program, 10 out of 10!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (5.1).

4 Pet-friendly Home Tips
Thursday, July 14, 2016
We would all do anything for our furry kids, but they can provide challenges from time to time — especially when enjoying your new home. Here are a few low-key ways to achieve harmony with your pets!
Vacuum regularly
Sounds obvious, but vacuum your house twice a week when your pet is shedding. Unfortunately, pet hair has an odor and it contains dirt-attracting oils that can soak into carpet fiber.
Pet-Friendly Fabric
Believe it or not, there is such a thing. It's called Crypton, a synthetic fabric that's resistant to stains, smells, bacteria and muddy paws.
Washable Fabrics Coverlets
If your pet sleeps with you, expect accidents. If you have a beautiful silk comforter, take it off the bed, and replace it with an all cotton cover, which can take the wear and tear of nails, drool, mud and hair.
Matchy Matchy
When choosing colors for your home, consider finding something that matches your pet's fur color. This provides for some camouflage during the heavy shedding seasons.

"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."
"The name is very attention getting with the recent death of Prince. The link to the crochet pattern takes me to a different posting on this site where the project is included within a free ebook with 16 other easy crafts. There you can download the entire ebook as a pdf in order to get the pattern."

"What does (K1. Inc 1 st in next st.) mean? I think st means stitch, but I don't understand how to do what it says. Thank you "
"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

Sorry this pattern makes no sense.....sounds like a double crochet that is decreasing stitch. Tried and normally have no problem following patterns, but this one cannot be correct.
jessruss90 2133106
Aug 06, 2013
This stitch is basically making half double crochets but instead of yarning over the first time you pick up a loop from the previous stitch you worked. Then you put your hook in the stitch you are working on and draw up another loop (so you have 3 on your hook) Then you YO and pull thru the 3 loops like you normally do to finish the stitch. I hope that helped. I've used this stitch method on some socks I made and it resulted in fewer holes in the fabric which is probably why it was used here.
Nov 28, 2012
Those who would prefer a printable pattern can find one here: http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/crochet-checkerboard-rug aubu1964: It could probably be done if you are an experienced knitter. You would just need to figure out when to change colors to get the checkerboard effect. As I recollect from seeing various finished projects, crochet stitches are bulkier, so a knit version probably would not hold up as well on the floor, but likely take less yarn.

I wish this pattern could be done in Knitted form too.

The world's largest clinical trial to examine whether aspirin can prevent cancers returning has begun in the UK.
About 11,000 people who have had early bowel, breast, prostate, stomach and oesophageal cancer will be involved.
Uncertainty about the drug's possible anti-cancer qualities has led to fierce medical debate in recent years.
If it is proven to work, scientists say it would be "game-changing", by providing a cheap and effective way to help more patients survive.
During the study, funded by the charity Cancer Research UK and the NIHR - the research arm of the NHS - patients will take a tablet every day for five years.
Researchers will compare groups of patients taking different doses of aspirin with people taking dummy (placebo) pills and check for any recurrences of cancer.
Dr Fiona Reddington from Cancer Research UK said: "The trial is especially exciting as cancers that recur are often harder to treat so finding a cheap and effective way to prevent this is potentially game-changing for patients."
But scientists warn that aspirin is not suitable for everyone and should not be used without medical advice.The trial will run across 100 UK centres, involving patients who are having or have had treatment for early cancer, and will last up to 12 years.
Taking the drug every day comes with a serious health warning as it can cause side effects such as ulcers and bleeding from the stomach, or even the brain.

ACTION: Please use the July 4th Congressional recess to visit in person with all Members and Senators to urge their support for Lifespan Respite Funding this year. Make an appointment now in your local district offices. To find out contact information, visit www.congress.org and type in your zip code to pull up the name of your Representative, Senators and their local office information. If you want to make your voice heard immediately, you can also connect to their Washington, DC office by calling the Capitol whiteboard at 202-224-3121 and asking for their offices.
Until we have an amendment to specifically support, please use the following message. When and if we have an specific amendment to support, I will send out another message to use.
MESSAGE: We are deeply disappointed in the failure of the House and Senate Appropriations committee to include funding for Lifespan Respite in the FY 08 Labor/HHS/Education appropriations bills. The Lifespan Respite Care Act was passed by Congress and signed by the President in December with strong bipartisan support. With minimal funding of $40 million, respite relief would begin to address the tremendous needs of the nation's 50 million family caregivers who provide loving care everyday to children, spouses, and aging parents with disabilities and chronic conditions in order to keep them at home and out of institutions.
We understand the tremendous pressure Congress is under to restore much-needed funding to health, social service and education programs. And we applaud your efforts in trying to do so in the face of serious fiscal constraints. But in not funding the Lifespan Respite Care Act, you overlooked a critical and cost-effective program that has tremendous potential to help families avoid or delay more costly out-of-home placements, thus saving billions of dollars in Medicaid and other long-term care costs. Respite can also help assure the stability and well-being of the nation's family caregivers, who provide over $300 billion in uncompensated care every year. As family caregivers, we jeopardize our own physical and emotional health, and that of our families. How much longer will we be able to do this without supports such as respite?
Please be assured that we stand ready to assist you in every effort to secure funding for this much needed program.
Please contact Congress today and then circulate this alert widely to networks, affilates, colleagues, parents, families, and neighbors. We've come this far -- don't give up now!

Pam Greer can be found at her foodie (and wine, and books, and cats) blog: Sidewalk Shoes, at her professional photography business: Pamela Greer Photography, at her daily photography blog: Pamela Greer 365, and her newest endeavor:Grey is the New Black. By the time you've read this, she has probably started another site.
