Landry leads Wisconsin over Wis.-Milwaukee 61-39
MILWAUKEE (AP)—Marcus Landry scored 16 points, Brian Butch added 14 and Trevon Hughes had 12, as Wisconsin beat Wisconsin-Milwaukee 61-39 on Wednesday night for the 15th straight time.
While it wasn't pretty, the Badgers (7-2) gritted out a win against an in-state opponent after losing to Marquette at home in their last game. Hughes, a sophomore point guard, called his play in that game a joke and Wisconsin was outrebounded by the undersized Golden Eagles to end a 28-game home winning streak.
Milwaukee (3-7) last beat Wisconsin 15 years ago to the day, but the Panthers have a current six-game losing streak, with their three wins coming over teams that were a combined 3-21 coming into Wednesday's games.
It was clear the Panthers were overmatched in this one, too, but Wisconsin's sloppy play kept Milwaukee close most of the first half. Early in the second the Badgers began to pull away, opening with a 6-0 run as Milwaukee went scoreless for the first five minutes and committed six turnovers.
Landry hit a wide open 3-pointer with 13:28 left to give the Badgers a 40-23 lead and they led by as many as 25 as the two teams combined for 35 turnovers. Butch also had seven rebounds for Wisconsin, which won its first road game this season in two tries.
Torre Johnson, a transfer from Oklahoma State, scored 10 to lead the Panthers, who were outrebounded 37-16.
Milwaukee had another long scoreless streak in the first half, going more than four minutes without any points. But Wisconsin only managed a 7-0 run in that stretch due to turnovers that left coach Bo Ryan yelling at the referees in frustration.
Hughes' jumping pass to an open Michael Flowers in the corner for 3 gave the Badgers a 19-11 lead, but Wisconsin turned the ball over on four consecutive possessions.
Milwaukee never could mount a run as Wisconsin pushed the lead to 10 just before half when Hughes again found Flowers for a layup in the final minute and Hughes scored an easy bucket of his own just before the buzzer.
The two coaches share a lengthy history.
Panthers coach Rob Jeter played for Ryan at Wisconsin-Platteville and later became Ryan's assistant at Platteville, Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
Ryan left for the Badgers after two years in Milwaukee, but he laid the foundation for the Panthers' rise to the upper echelon of mid-majors under Bruce Pearl, who led the Panthers to the NCAA round of 16 in 2005.

Andre Greipel wins 5th stage of Tour
Updated: July 5, 2012, 7:08 PM ETAssociated Press
SAINT-QUENTIN, France -- The Tour de France is shadowed again by Lance Armstrong and doping.
The subject returned with a vengeance to cycling's greatest race Thursday, and caught in the turmoil were four riders and a team manager who years ago helped Armstrong on the way to his seven Tour titles.
All this on a day when Germany's Andre Greipel won the fifth stage -- his second in a row -- in a sprint after the 122-mile trek from Rouen to Saint-Quentin, north of Paris. Fabian Cancellara ...

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Global Forest Watch, or GFW is a new global monitoring system has been launched that promises "near real time" information on deforestation around the world. Backed by Google and over 40 business and campaigning groups, GFW will hopefully draw attention to the loss of the world's forests. Data from Google and the University of Maryland says the world lost 230 million hectares of trees between 2000 and 2012.

Published in Green
Keywords: Global Forest Watch, deforestation, green, global tracking, NASA,
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Hundreds of millions of satellite images are used in the program, in addition to data from the international community.
Big Business, usually seen as the villains in terms of environmental issues, is in fact welcoming the new database. They say GFW could help them prove that their products are sustainable.
You,. too can light up the darkness by going here --
One of the big problems in dealing with deforestation is the lack of accurate information. Over the same time period as all these trees were lost, around 800,000 square kilo0meters of new forest was planted.
In order to correct this, the U.S. based World Resources Institute has led the development of GFW, using half a billion high resolution images from NASA's Landsat program.
The system uses the cloud computing power of the Google Earth Engine, the Google Maps Engine and new algorithms developed by the University of Maryland.
Data on tropical forests at a resolution of 500 meter is updated monthly as high resolution images of global tree loss and gain are updated annually.
"Global Forest Watch is a near-real time monitoring platform that will fundamentally change the way people and businesses manage forests," Dr. Andrew Steer from the institute says.
"From now on, the bad guys cannot hide and the good guys will be recognized for their stewardship."
The technology is described as being easy to use and will incorporate information showing protected areas, logging, mining and palm oil concessions and daily forest fire alerts from NASA.
Indigenous groups have been quick to take up the cause. The Paiter Surui people in Brazil are already using smart phones and GPS software to monitor illegal logging.
For governments in countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo and Indonesia, the technology could be useful in helping enforce the laws on logging that are often flouted.
Tree losses and alerts can be sent out to a network of partners and citizens around the world who can take action.
Some of the large businesses backing GFW include Nestle and Unilever.

Proactiv+: Beyond The Three Step Solution
Proactiv+ works…it just does. It's formulated with the same actives as countless other products, but somehow their trio of products is more effective without smelling bad or over drying your skin (their step 2 product is drying, but if you cut it down from the recommended three times to one or add in a moisturizing SPF to the trio of products, your skin should be fine).

Entitled "10 x '20 Progress: Development of New Drugs Active against Gram-negative Bacilli: An Update from the Infectious Diseases Society of America," the paper outlines actions that must be taken to address the synergistic crises of an anemic antibiotic pipeline coupled with an explosion in multi-drug resistant pathogens. A multi-pronged approach is needed, including new economic incentives to encourage antibiotic research and development (R&D); clarification of FDA's requirements for antibiotic approval; increased research funding; improved infection prevention; and new public health efforts including better data collection and surveillance of drug resistance and use of antibiotics. We also need to encourage "antibiotic stewardship," which includes measures that health care facilities, providers and even patients can take to preserve the life-saving power of antibiotics by limiting their inappropriate use.
IDSA leaders have been exploring with other stakeholders specific solutions to address the pipeline problem including the creation of a Limited Population Antibacterial Drug (LPAD) approval pathway to speed drugs to approval as well as new R&D tax credits and reimbursement models. Congressional Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives announced last month their intent to make fixing the antibiotic R&D pipeline a priority for the 113th Congress.
Ironically, at this urgent time of greatest need, the number of pharmaceutical companies investing in antibiotic R&D has plummeted. Pharmaceutical companies typically put R&D resources into the development of chronic disease drugs including those to treat high cholesterol, diabetes, and cancer which provide significant financial rewards, partly because they are intended to be taken

Posted emergency information and resources
Our cozy villa, suitable for family vacation, just a footstep from Amsterdam, is located in one of the nicest surroundings of Amsterdam, in the green hearth of Amstelveen. The house is in a quiet residential area, where traffic is minimal
The house is only 15 minutes drive from Schiphol airport ( bus 199 stop Brink ,or train to Amsterdam South station and then metro 51, same stop as above ), or 25/30 minutes from Amsterdam Central Station ( metro 51 stop as above ), or 20/25 minutes from the very hearth of Amsterdam, i.e. Leidseplein/Vondelpark ( tram 5 and then metro 51, stop as above ).
Metro station and bus stop are at a walking distance, a shopping mall ( with a supermarket, butcher, grocer, baker, delicatessen, stationary, etc.) just opposite to the metro station.
Amsterdamsebos, where you can walk, ride horse, canoe is nearby. You can also walk along a canal nearby
The house is situated in a compound where traffic is minimal or non existent. Two or three playing grounds for children are in the compound. You can also enjoy a beautiful promenade along a small canal in a grove behind the house, and from there enjoy also a picturesque view of the Dutch countryside.
The Amstel river, and the Amsterdamsebos ( Woods ) wher you can walk, run, canoe or ride horse, are not far.
Not far also the South Station of Amsterdam, from where you can travel by train to Den Haag, Rotterdam, Haarlem, Alkmaar, Delft, Horn or any other place you like.
The details of the house are the following:
- Ground floor: Entrance hall, small toilet with basin, living room with stereo and big flat TV, fully equipped kitchen
- Private garden ( 50 sq. meters ) with garden set, where you can have a pleasant sunbathing, or you can relax in the shadow of an electrical awning
- Private open parking space
- First floor: Master bedroom ( 16 sq. meters ) with king size double bed, built-in mirror wardrobe, cabinet; two small bedrooms( one 10 sq. meters and another one 8 sq. meters ) both with single bed ; bathroom with bathtube, shower, basin and toilet
- Attic: open space with wash-machine and dryer: studio with single bed, chair-bed and cabinet.
The house is fully equipped with bed linen, quilts, blankets and bath-towels. The kitchen is also fully equipped, with dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, built-in appliances ( oven, gas stove, dish-washer ) and microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and coffe machines as well.
The house is completely at the disposal of the guests, since we do not live in it.
In the living room you will find maps both of Amsterdam and Amstelveen, and also museum maps.
I can suggest you to pay a visit at least to one of main attraction in Amsterdam:
• Anne Frank house
• Van Gogh museum
• Stedelijk museum ( modern art, recently completely renovated )
• Rijksmuseum ( Rembrandt, Vermeer, Potter – also completely renovated )
• The lively pleinen ( squares ) of Amsterdam: Leidseplein, Rembrandtplein, Damplein
• Waterloo flea market
• De Loieer antique market
• The Binnenhof
• The Schouwburg theater
• The Concertgebouw
• The Melkweg disco
• The Vondelpark, with picnic, skating, sporting places, restaurants, terraces
• A cruise through the " grachten " ( Herengracht, Prinsengracht, Keizergracht, Singel, etc. )
• The floating flower market
• The Royal Palace
• The picturesque Jordaan district
• The red light district ( not for the girls in the windows, however, but because in my opinion it is the oldest and most beautiful district in Amsterdam, from an architectural point of view ).
Cozyness and no traffic
Playgrounds for children
The house is in a very quiet residential area, where traffic is minimal or not existent. Two or three playground for children are in the compound. You can also enjoy a beautiful promenade along a canal in a grove behind the house, and from there enjoy also a picturesque view of the Dutch countryside.
The Amstel river, and the Amsterdamsebos ( Woods ), where you can walk, run, canoe or ride horse, are not very far.
•Restaurants tips: In Amstelveen, we are sorry but we do not know if there are acceptable restaurants. In Amsterdam, a lot. If you like Italian cuisine, try " I Girasoli " c/o NH Carlton Amsterdam in Vijzelstraat, 4 (tel. (phone number hidden) ) or " d'Antica " in Reguliersdwarsstraat, 8 ( tel. (phone number hidden)).If you are " gek op pizza " ( mad for pizza ) you can enjoy a real italian pizza at " Casa di Davide " in Singel, 426 ( tel. (phone number hidden) ).
If you are fond of Japanese, the best in Amsterdam ( and a bit expensive ) is in our opinion " Teppanyaki Nippon " in Reguliersdwarsstraat, 18 ( tel. (phone number hidden) ).
Good restaurants for argentinian grilled steaks are the ones from the chain " Gauchos ". You can find one almost everywhere in Amsterdam. One known to us is in Spuistraat, 3e ( tel. (phone number hidden) ). A good restaurant for grilled steaks, with a cozy atmosphere, is also " Castell " in Lijnbaansgracht, 253 ( tel. (phone number hidden) those who like dutch and international cuisine with dutch atmosphere, please go to " d'Vijff Vlieghen " in Spuistraat, 294 ( tel. (phone number hidden) ) or to " New Dorrius ", c/o Crowne Plaza hotel in Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, 5 ( tel. (phone number hidden) ). Our experience with fish restaurants in Amsterdam is almost negligible. A very good one however is " Lucius " in Spuistraat, 247 ( tel. (phone number hidden) ).
•Shopping tips: Opposite to the metro station you find the shopping mall Middenhoven with supermarket, butcher, grocery, delicatessen, stationary, etc.
In the alleys of old Amsterdam you can enjoy a lot of small shops to satisfy almost all your wishes.
If you like antiquities, you should not miss the " Antiekcentrum Amsterdam " ( previously De Looier ) in Elandsgracht, 109. For bric-a-brac, it is worth visiting the flea market in Waterlooplein.
Metro 51 to Amsterdam
Bus 199 to Schiphol
Not very far also the Amsterdam South Station, from where you can ride to Den Haag, Delft, Horn, Haarlem, Alkmaar or any other place in the Netherlands

My parents, husband and I rented this home for a week. Plenty of room for all of us and a nice kitchen to make your meals. The home is in an ideal quiet suburban location with easy walking distance to tram which takes you into Amsterdam. Furnishings were comfortable and we appreciated this after a long day of exploring. Fast wifi allowed us to work, read our local papers or upload vacation photos when we needed to.
Working with Paolo and his staff was a sincere pleasure. Very responsive and helpful.
We enjoyed our stay very much!
Merci à Paolo qui fait le maximum pour que ses hôtes se sentent comme chez eux.
La maison est très bien située dans un quartier calme et à quelques minutes à pied du métro pour Amsterdam et des commerces. On peut se stationner devant la maison et la situation au sud d'Amsterdam permet aussi de visiter facilement villages et villes aux alentours lorsqu'on vient en voiture.
La grande pièce séjour cuisine est très agréable, ensoleillée avec vue sur le petit jardin. La cuisine est très bien équipée en matériel de cuisine, linge de maison....
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour à Amstelveen.
Paolo fait tout son possible pour prendre en compte les demandes de ses hôtes .
The villa was everything a small group would need,in a safe clean neighbourhood. The city center was just a short distance away!
Nous avons reçu des messages très conviviaux tout au long du séjour. La maison correspondait à nos attentes, très spacieuse et bien équipée
We loved staying in Paolo's house a lot, and we found the house to be a relaxing and quiet place to stay whilst completing our studies. Paolo was quick to respond to us regarding any questions or troubles we had, either before or during our stay, as well as being a flexible and kind host. We would recommend staying at this house to anyone, and we throughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Paolo!
This was our second stay at Paolo's house.
Paolo is a great host and goes out of he's way to try and make your stay as smooth and as comfortable as possible.
The house is very clean and tidy and in a great location for Amsterdam and around. Public transport is within minutes walk and the neighbourhood is nice and quiet.
I would highly recommend staying at Paolo's house as i hope to do again in the future.
It has been a wonderful experience to host Nir for the second time in one year or so. He left the house tidy and clean as it was just at his arrival, no problem with the neighbours ( sometime I receive claims from neighbours due to not educated guests ). All in all, he had with my place the same attention he would have with his own. I trust that he would come a third time, he his my best guest.
Die Kommunikation vor Anreise mit dem Vermieter Paolo war spitze. Alle Fragen wurden im Vorfeld schnell und ausführlich beantwortet.
Das Haus hat eine perfekte Lage, man braucht nur 5 min. bis zum nächsten Supermarkt und zur nächsten Metrostation.
Zum Haus selber, es besitzt ein schönes großes Wohnzimmer und eine große Küche. In den 2 oberen Etagen findet man dann die verschiedenen Schlafzimmer und das Bad mit Dusche.
Da wir zu Silvester dort waren konnten wir leider den Garten nicht so benutzen, aber im Sommer kann man sich getrost raus setzen und die Ruhe geniessen.

The Boston Red Sox are heating up. Sure, it's only a three-game win streak. But in a season in which they've yet to win more than four in a row, this feels downright tropical. On Friday, the Red Sox could move to three games over .500 for the first time all year.
But, just a quarter into the season, could it already be too late?
Even with a soon-to-be replenished outfield and key bats waking up, injuries and inconsistencies linger. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees, both division rivals, feature the two best records in the American League. Boston is 8½ games out in the division and 3½ games back in the wild-card race, behind three teams.
So have the Red Sox already dug too deep of a hole for themselves? History indicates that Boston may need a storybook finish. Prognostications paint an even uglier picture.
AccuScore.com projects postseason probability using the average results of 10,000 season simulations. According to their forecast entering Thursday, both New York and Tampa Bay stand a better than 80 percent chance of making the postseason. Meanwhile, the Red Sox make the playoffs in only 7.6 percent of simulations. Those long odds are largely the result of taking the AL East title just 1.7 percent of the time.
Not surprisingly, the Red Sox need key players to raise their game, while hoping their competition falters. For example, Dustin Pedroia is projected to hit .298 over the rest of the season, according to AccuScore's Stephen Oh. But in the simulations in which Boston makes the playoffs, Pedroia averaged .335 at the plate. On the mound, Josh Beckett is projected to finish 9-10 overall but averaged a 14-6 record in simulations in which the Red Sox are bound for the postseason. These are not minor differences, but they are also not improbable.
Another forecasting site, CoolStandings.com, paints an even bleaker picture. Entering Thursday, the Red Sox were given a 5.8 percent chance of making the playoffs (0.9 percent for the division, 4.9 percent for the wild card). Again, Boston is enormously hindered by the quality of its divisional foes. Consider the following: The Nationals are considered more likely to make the postseason, and the lowly Indians are given a better chance of taking home a divisional crown.
While the percentages differ slightly, both forecasters are extremely bearish on Boston's chances to take down the AL East (Baseball Prospectus is a bit more optimistic). That pessimism is no surprise with both the Rays and Yankees on pace for more than 100 wins. While one could certainly fall off that pace, the Red Sox need both to falter to grab the division.
That leaves the wild card, which means one thing: 94 wins -- at least. Over the last 14 years, the average AL wild-card winner won 94.9 games. Meanwhile, no AL team has missed the playoffs with 94 or more wins in the wild-card era. The 1999 Reds, who won 96 games, are the only such NL team to come up short. Sure, teams have captured the wild card with as few as 88 wins, but given the competition atop the AL East, even 94 wins seems conservative in 2010.
Of course, these forecasts are just that -- educated estimations based on historical data and trends. Weather in New England is notoriously difficult to predict, but just imagine if meteorologists attempted a 120-day forecast. The numbers do provide excellent context for just how difficult Boston's climb would be. But they can't possibly take into account future transactions, injuries or late-season magic.
In 1914, the Boston Braves were in dead last at 26-40 after losing both games in a Fourth of July doubleheader. According to the CoolStandings.com formula, they stood a less than 1 percent chance of making the playoffs at that point. They proceeded to go 68-19 the rest of the way and won the World Series.
Then there are the 1975 Reds, who at this point in the season barely resembled the team now considered one of the best ever assembled. At 12-12, manager Sparky Anderson asked Pete Rose to move from left field to third base to open up an outfield spot for George Foster. Rose, a former Gold Glover in left, agreed to the switch despite not having played the hot corner for nine years (and even then for only 16 games). Just like the 2010 Red Sox, the Reds were 19-20 after 39 games. The rest is history -- albeit one Red Sox fans would rather forget. Cincinnati finished with 108 wins on the way to the title.
Unless the current Red Sox lineup is hiding four Hall of Fame caliber hitters along with a future home run champ on the bench, no one is actually comparing this team to the '75 Reds. However, history tells us not to blindly trust the odds. Even the 2009 Yankees started just 17-17 while treading water without Alex Rodriguez.
A full rebound from such a slow start is not unprecedented in Red Sox history, but it is quite rare. After Monday's heartbreaking loss to the Yankees, the Red Sox stood at 19-20 -- 8½ games out of first place and 3½ games behind Toronto for third in the division.
Only twice have the Red Sox made the playoffs after being under .500 that late in the season. Both summers attained legendary status in Red Sox lore, and are perhaps the only two seasons immediately identifiable by a nickname: Impossible Dream and Morgan Magic.
In 1967, the Red Sox were also 19-20 through 39 games. As late as June 18, they were still at .500 (31-31) with a 3.0 percent chance at the postseason, according to CoolStandings. On Aug. 14, the Red Sox were still in fifth place in the 10-team American League. However, the "Impossible Dream" of a postseason was realized thanks to 32 wins in the final 49 games.
The 1988 season offered an even more improbable playoff run. The Red Sox were 31-32 on June 18 and in fourth place going into the All-Star break. When Joe Morgan replaced John McNamara, the Red Sox had a 5.1 percent chance at the postseason. But after winning Morgan's first 12 games as manager, that number jumped to 24.6 percent. Riding the "Morgan Magic" for the rest of the season, Boston took over first place Sept. 4, never to look back.
Are we already at the point where only dreams and magic can save their season? The addition of the wild card certainly improves their chances, but the Red Sox have a long road ahead. The three-game win streak is a start.
One thing seems clear: If the Red Sox do turn it around, it will be a summer to remember -- the kind that might require a nickname.

Originally written on Oregon Sports News | Last updated 9/26/13
Just the other day I was thinking about Oregon, not the Ducks even though that's what most other people associate the state with. I wanted to know what Oregonians do not associate the state with (sorry, Beavers fans, but it's not pretty for you). I simply asked anyone and everyone I knew that has never lived in Oregon what are the first three things you think of when I say "Oregon"? Going into this science fair of an experiment, my hypothesis was that some form of football, Oregon Ducks, and Nike would dominate the responses followed by something to do with trees or Portland; turns out I'm a prophet. Football and the Ducks are king. Just under seventy percent of people who responded to my question had football or football uniforms couple with either Nike or the Ducks. This shouldn't surprise anyone, with no NFL teams, no MLB teams, and the Blazers not doing much of anything in recent years. The Oregon Ducks primarily have been the poster child for sports in the state of Oregon; ...

The Journal Sentinel education reporters offer news and notes from their beat
Riverside University High School raises $60,000 for Habitat homes
Riverside University High School has raised $60,000 to support construction of two new Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity homes, to be built in July.
Students presented a check to Habitat officials last week at a spring concert. The money was raised through the school's annual "Box City" fundraiser, held earlier this spring, which challenged students to sleep outdoors for one night to raise funds and awareness about the need for affordable housing in Milwaukee.
Students at Riverside High School, 1615 E. Locust St., have been raising funds for the past 12 years to help build and sponsor Habitat homes for low-income families.
Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit homeownership ministry building simple, decent and affordable housing in partnership with people in need. Partner families put hundreds of hours of sweat equity into building their home and the homes of their neighbors. Families then hold an affordable, zero percent interest mortgage with Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity.
This year, Milwaukee Habitat expects to build 40 new homes in Washington Park, Park West and the Harambee neighborhoods. Milwaukee Habitat is also part of the Zilber Neighborhood Initiative, completing 30 rehab projects in targeted neighborhoods. Since 1984, Milwaukee Habitat has built or rehabilitated more than 425 homes in the city.

There are notes of wood smoke and dry spice, hints of barley and cereal with creamy toffee and a distinct herbal note. The finish is quite fruity and long with a note of sultanas and mixed peels.

I recently was given by my wife a bottle of johnnie walker double black(normally I take and prefer Johnnie Walker Black Label)but I'm sorry to say that it was not up to the mark, and, I felt not only cheated but also this was a waste of money.
29th June 2015
I bought the 2 Lt. of 12 years J.W black label from Chicago airport duty free.on 16th. April 2015. I was surprised with the bad test of the whisky, I still have not opened the second one ,which is still with me.I wish I have an explanation for that, as it is my Favorite for the last 40 years. Thank youRespectfullyFuad Garabet
2nd June 2015
i tried jameson .. tullamore dew .. ballantine .. chivas .. red gold blue double black label .. Black label is the top of all of these whiskeys .. The king kong of the whiskey world !

Keep it handy in your bar when the single malts run out.

Question: How do the guys at Johnnie Walker manage to produce millions of litres of exactly the same quality of Black Label each year ?Answer: Of course they don't manage to do this. How could they ?Indeed, I have come to love Johnnie Walker Black Label at home (Germany) as a standard drink of very decent quality and great value. But many times when I am travelling, I come across JWBL drams which I hardly recognize. For instance only recently when I bought a 0,5l plastic bottle at the travel value shop at Frankfurt Airport. If my favorite bottle shop at home had sold me such an un-peaty uninteresting bottle, I would not have looked at the stuff again.I have a feeling that the 43% version of JWBL is the minor one. Anybody know the difference between the 40% version which I like and the 43% version which disappointed me ?
25th May 2015
This is the "go to."Laphroig, Lagavulin, Talisker, Cardhu ( certainly tasted in JWB) are great, so are the Sherry, etc.(I.e., MacCallan)(not really Scotch but great), but JWB is the price point and the quality to which all should be measured.Hitchens was "dead on" on this one.
14th May 2015
As a former single malt snob, I've now seen the light and keep a couple of excellent blends on the shelf: the BNJ for smooth, sweet fruitiness and Johnnie Black for a little bit of smoke. I first discovered it while on the hunt for a lighter peaty dram to start with before working up to the Highland Park and Talisker. Couldn't believe how good it tasted for the €22 it cost me, so I started reading up on it. Imagine my delight when I found a clip on youtube of the late, great Christopher Hitchens describing it as "the best blended whisky in the history of the world" and so I'd have to agree - after all, who would dare argue with Hitch?
6th May 2015
Gold label 18 seems to have disappeared also. Double Black tastes weird, probably grain in the mix since it has no age. Blue is noticeably better than Black - for 4x the price ! Black 12yr is still reliable, always satisfying with a dollop of water in a proper glass.
27th April 2015
From a neat pour, exactly what I would expect from a blend; soft and silky smooth, and not too complex. There's a prominent peppery dryness that plays well with some of the sweeter notes, but the smoke is quickly lost amongst the spice. I found a bitter, grassiness that developed in the aftertaste let the experience fall flat.To each their own, as this has some good qualities. However, if given a choice in a blended whisky at this price point, I'd prefer a Dewar's White Label to this.
25th March 2015
After the sad demise of the much loved Green Label, this is now their best blend. IMO it is better than all other JWs up to and including Blue Label. A very consistent and beautifully balanced blend. It's hard to believe that it contains 40 malts but Mortlach and Cardhu are prominent contributors with Talisker and Cardhu providing a little smoke. A word of warning - be careful when adding water (ice) as it quickly breaks-up. The 12 years maturation makes all the difference - Lovely stuff
12th March 2015
The go-to Scotch. Complex, caramel, smoky. Johnnie Black never disappoints, and great value to boot. Drink it neat!In the words of Christopher Hitchens: "Mr Walker's Amber Restorative. Breakfast of champions."
10th March 2015
I love this drink, as complex and good as anything under £50 (tho I do have a soft spot for lavagulin and laphroaig) this is my go to, with the smokier varieties a special treat. Smooth, creamy, with a lovely hint of toffee, this should be in everyone's bar. And it's great for guests who won't appreciate your more expensive malts!
4th February 2015
I nearly always have one of these in the cabinet. There's something very comforting about JW Black. It's not overly complex but has a beautiful balance of sweetness and smoke. It's like an old friend you can always rely on.
9th January 2015
As the title says. This is the house scotv
8th January 2015
..a bottle of this stuff in my cabinet. This is one of the best bottles of whisky money can buy. Come back to it when you tired of trying other single malts and compare it and decide which way you want to go next...
5th January 2015
I was never a great fan of the blended though this is a master class. Smooth to drink and I have to say one of my now favourite tipples. Great body, good smoke, though not too much. All in all a Silky fruity number with a hint of spice. Superbly balanced with no bite - an truly amazing whisky and this is from a stalwart single drinker. If you have not tried then I wholeheartedly recommend.
29th December 2014
The smoke hit quick and overpowered everything else for the duration. I guess some people like smoke, I don't.
19th December 2014
I've started at the premium end of the JW range (Ryder Cup special, Blue, and Spice Road) but realised I hadn't tasted their entry level blends. And I'm so glad I now have - spicy, smoky, full of taste - a real treat for this incredibly low price and should be a staple in any decent whisky collection. Next I will try the Red.
13th December 2014
JW black is the first blended scotch I've ever tasted. The immediate smell and taste of the smoke was incredibly tasty and the hint of toffee was delicious. I liked this way more than the glenlivet 12. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a mainstay in their home bar.
7th December 2014
Tasted fake smoky to me. Sharp bite. Just ok.
27th November 2014
Very good taste. A litte bit smoky, sweet. Enjoing every day after hard work.
20th November 2014
I have tried many kinds of blended and single malt, this is good for the price. I always have it in my collection. Must have
15th November 2014
I rank this good for a blend and for a 12 year old. in fact the best in the category.
11th November 2014
Complex, the smokiness and the sweetness blend in very well. and the slight woodiness enhances the flavour as well.. by far the most complex blend i've had. if one is looking for a refreshing blend and easy to drink one. JW black is not one for you
9th November 2014
it has more complexity compared to other blends.. the smokiness and the sweetness really blend in well
Easy to drink, smooth and great taste. Bang for the buck. Don't believe the single-malt snobs, posers I'd you ask me.
23rd October 2014
The first taste I had of Johnnie Walker Black Label was 1963 when I was 7 yrs old. (My father had a policy that I could "have a taste" of what he was drinking at a party.) I will never forget it. I took a tiny sip, thinking it would be terrible, but found that it tasted VERY good. I then took a large mouthful and savored it all the way down. My father vocally lamented the point when I told him in the presence of his neighborhood friends, "Dad. That is some great stuff!" I have always had a bottle available since I was old enough to buy it, for when I would like a wee nip of some excellent blended scots whisky. It was my first, and is still my best.
13th October 2014
I am enjoying JW Black. It is smooth no harsh burn just a nice warm feeling, perfect for chilly Canadian nights.Has a smokey smell but not to overwhelming.I would recommend to anyone but especially to someone new to drinking scotch.Time for another, cheers.
3rd October 2014
This summer I visited San Blas on my vacation to Panama and bought a bottle of Black Label Whisky on the airport. The bottle stayed in my suitcase until I reached San Blas since I just knew this was the perfect place to drink a delicious blended whisky. Imagine a full moon, illuminating squid in the Caribbean Sea water and stars everywhere. Let's not forget about the perfect temperature and at that moment the Black Label was openend. PERFECT! If you don't know what I'm talking about take a look at these pictures http://sanblas-islands.com/pictures/ and imagine yourself with a bottle of Black Label on the beach at night :) Cheers
13th September 2014
I have had Johnnie Walker Black and Blue Label 12 year, and I must say these two have flavor but are overrated especially for their prices of a blended scotch. I think people consider this good just because other people say it is,they are not experienced in drinking different scotches and because of its high price and strong taste for a newbie. There are many other scotches to choose from with smooth and rich flavors that are inexpensive both blended and single malts. Too much hype for what it really is, even the bottle is nothing to rave about. To me, only the pretentious believe in the Johnnie Walker set of Labels' power. These are what snobs are; the pretentious.
16th August 2014
Black Label is available in almost every bar, so that's what I usually drink when clubbing, but I way prefer Haig & Haig Pinch for about the same price. Pinch is 15 years old, and a better balance of fruit and smoke. The extra 3yrs of aging makes a difference. If you really search, you can find Famous Grouse, an excellent 8yr old that is almost as good as Black Label. Or try some Oban 10yr old or any McCallan for a treat.
6th July 2014
Its been my fav sincd I could afford it. Best ever
31st May 2014
that's it
27th May 2014
Always have a bottle of this one at home. My "weekdays" drink. Buy one, than you won't walk alone.
10th May 2014
smoky, sweet and slightly peaty. it definitely has slight complexity of a single malt.
nihonjins and Thais love this tipple. ain't bad as a mellow cup, or perhaps mixed with coke while in a meeting. versatile. proletarian.
3rd May 2014
It's the highlight of my day and I have a full life. Just 11 hours to go! Delicious!
15th April 2014
Though not a peat freak, I find Black Label to be an eminently drinkable blend. Quite creamy, smooth and fruity, but with just the right smoky edge. Quite a classy nose, and very easy to drink, even by a fairly new convert to whisky, still finding his way, like me.
22nd March 2014
This is just so well balanced and consistant that I can't help always keeping it in stock. I would love Diageo to offer a 46% version - it would be the bees knees. I strongly advise very little water and deffinitely no ice. Other higher priced Johnnie Walkers might have more finnesse but this one provides the best value.
17th March 2014
This is smooth, more refined than say Jamesons, It has a sharp citrus beginning with a mellow peaty finish. I really enjoy this, until I can afford Blue that is lol.
5th March 2014
I've been bouncing around trying many different Whisky's predominantly of the Scotch variety.Recently I decided I'd give this one a try, and while I didn't really know what to expect going in I'd have to say I'm neither disappointed nor excited by it. I found that it finished on the tongue a little too quick for my liking, but in that regard I like that it makes it easier to sink. While I found it has mild characteristics of almost every Scotch I've tried, I can't say anything jumped out at me to give this much character of its own. Thus I say it's a good starter for people curious about Scotch.I can't say I'll be going after this one again, but that's simply because I have other Whiskies that are more to my taste in this price point. I am glad that I got a chance to try this, and may keep a bottle in my cabinet to give other curious parties a taste of a nice entry level Scotch.
3rd March 2014
Having decided I didn't like scotch a few years ago, I recently decided to give this a try for no other reason as Hitchens planted curiosity.Tried it with a splash of Perrier and have to say it's not all that bad. None of the overpowering burn I used to get and quite a nice toasted, sweet flavour. Fruity after taste.I decided against any ice, so it remained really aromatic. I shall buy a big bottle of this, as I just tried a miniature to start with.Hitch will be happy to know he was, yet again, quite right. Although I'm sure he knew that already.
2nd March 2014
The old stand by. Even if you don't like blends it still satisfies. Always bet on black! Yeah!
22nd February 2014
I MST say this is lovely I don't like peat until Now this is amazing and when it is on offer well worth it at full prices hmmmmmmmmm
19th February 2014
great blend, great price. only thing better is the JW GOLD or blue.
14th February 2014
I have just recently gotten out of my teenage years and my college buddy gave me a bottle of this and double black as a birthday gift and graduation gift, respectively. Although I did have my share of (cheap) scotch back in high school and college, I never really went out of my way to buy a bottle with my own money. So this was my first time to actually take my time and enjoy Black.(For me, at least) It was amazing, no burn at all, went down my throat like cream, and nothing about it was overpowering. This, along with Chivas 12, became the gateway for my interest in scotch.-M.G. (MNL, Philippines)
31st January 2014
But too expensive
22nd January 2014
A huge improvement over the Red Label. It's an ok whisky I guess. But I never seem to remember anything special (good or bad) about it after I've drank it though. So there's that.
13th January 2014
A nice blend with an interesting nose. Smokey and peaty and sweat at the same time. Tastes Smokey fruity with a hint of creamy toffee. All in all an enjoyable blend.
12th December 2013
Sweet and smoky. Complex and easy. highly recommended blend.
10th December 2013
"I've 5 of black labels bottles since over 25 years ago ... I wonder how it taste like or how much it cost now"It'll taste exactly the same as the day it was bottled! Whisky gets its flavour from the barrel.
29th November 2013
A sweet blend. After drinking only single malts for several years, off-and-on. I decided after reading reviews from various sites including this one, to get a bottle of JW Black at the local Sams Club last night. Only $31.00 with a coaster set gift box. A decent 2013 price. Now I also have some nice coasters. I have to say I like JW Black, but to my palate, it is very sweet. To me, it's the Crown Royal of scotch. But it's good and enjoyable and easy. If you like Crown, I think you'll like this. I will keep a bottle in the supply chain from now on. I love the color, and as described by other reviewers above, it has lots of flavor, although it's a bit sweet for my preference, but it is good, and can be used as a decent and tasty example when sampling various scotches, especially for beginners. It's forgiving and friendly and smooth. If you are a beginning scotch enthusiast, it wouldn't hurt to start with this and move into single malts. If you are a scotch veteran, it would never hurt to have this in the collection just for the heck of it.
8th November 2013
I've 5 of black labels bottles since over 25 years ago ... I wonder how it taste like or how much it cost now
18th October 2013
When I was very young I never liked any whiskey,now though I'm forty five,still a novice I've tried other whiskeys but only AFTER trying JW,like others maybe I was curious to try it after the late great Christopher Hitchens had said it was his own particular favourite,I love it,the smokiness the richness the peat,I'll try others but right now this is for me,and I know nothing of the blenders art,but thanks to you and of course The Hitch.
9th October 2013
The jump from the red to the black and the price point is the best bang for the buck. Beyond the black is a classic case of diminishing returns. The green, blue, gold and platinum are all amazing, but oye! The cost! The black is right in the pocket.
5th October 2013
bang for buck best blend on the market. never leave home without it
28th September 2013
Just superb in every way... for the price I feel it's unbeatable. Perfect on the rocks and never disappoints.
13th September 2013
Churchills dram of choice apparently...Great everyday drink, not to complex, good flavour profile good on its own or with a cube of ice, good one to start an evening, before moving on to something more complicated.Stable for the cupboard and good one to start friend on the whiskey road.Good value, single malts at this price point tend to be disappointing good alternative so some of the supermarket bargains.
12th July 2013
A nice smooth start but far too much peaty taste for me. An acquired taste!
very sad to say no not for me might try the green next not bad but noting to remember
21st June 2013
Visited the Scotch Whisky Experience and picked up a couple of miniatures to try, among them was a JW Black 12 in a cheap nasty plastic bottle... put off trying it for a couple of months then thought "what the hell"... next thing I know, I'm finding out where to buy a proper sized bottle. Excellent balanced whisky for anyone but especially for beginners like myself
11th June 2013
I could suck this back all night.
20th April 2013
15th April 2013
Not bad. But why buy an expensive blend when for the same price, if you keep your eyes open , you can pick up some of the best single malts? I've paid less for Highland Park, mcallan Jura and caol ila for example .
14th April 2013
I haven't found a better every day whisky than this. Hitchens hit it dead on. A splash of Perrier makes this a drink you'll look forward to at the end of the day.
I drink lots of single malts but sometimes I go back to this or get it at the bar, no ice, no water. It is well balanced, leaning towards smokey/slightly bitter-citrus, high quality, consistently excellent and never hard to find. 85/100
12th March 2013
Ignore all the snobbery around single malts versus blended whiskies. This is a great scotch and deserves a place in every scotch drinker's cabinet. A great combination of a smooth taste and complex nose. Ignore Red Label, this one is in a whole other league.
7th March 2013
Had it in Poland for just 89 Polish zloties (ca. GBP 17,25) a 0,7l bottle!
1st March 2013
I dont have the most sophisticated palate but this hits me in on the right places and I enjoy it a lot. While on a more special occasion I'd like a single malt glass of Lagavulin or Laphroaig, I still enjoy the balance in this blend very much. Great smokiness balance with light peat and sweetness. As Hitches said, "Johnnie Walker Black, breakfast of champions, accept no substitute." Spot on.
4th February 2013
Great great value for money, easily blended, or can be enjoyed on it's own. Pretty much the staple for JW.
21st January 2013
The Reason I vote this the full 10 stars, it because quite simply you will not find a whiskey so easy to drink and so nice for the money, I first drank this whiskey in a nice bar in London, and then made me buy a bottle within the week!
25th November 2012
It's just the best package of everything I want in a scotch whisky, and in particular with a full, creamy mouthfeel. It's not cheap, but still pretty good value.Comparing this with the Black Bottle, another very nice blend with a similar profile, it's "fuller" and more satisfying. And it's a lot more balanced than Black Grouse (which isn't that bad too, but just doesn't come close to JW here).
21st November 2012
Overpriced but always satisfies. Incredibly balanced, with a full rich body and the the perfect range of the flavors we've come to associate with most scotch whiskey. A scotch tour in a bottle. There are less pricey blends that are just as good though.
14th August 2012
For this price you'll not find a better blend of scotch. Although if you have twice the dolla, Ballantine's 17yr is unbeatable.
31st January 2012
It's a complete whisky. Great taste..
25th December 2011
A great whisky, not the best, but probably the best in this price range.
21st December 2011
kir tush khord pahlush
8th November 2011
I can drink this like water.
25th October 2011
26th May 2010
This blend has a truly complex nose, with a bit of smoke and a juicy fruit. Oily and creamy in the palate, giving an opulent mouthfeel. Finish is quite long. In sum a respectable player in the Premier Blends League.

I want to create a small website in HTML / Javascript in our company and I'm trying to upload data to an Access database on the company network, but since I don't have administrator rights, I cannot use PHP, ASP or JSP to make the database connection work at server side. I also don't have WAMP running or anything, I merely write an HTML file with some CSS and Javascript, and use the directory structure to display my webpage. I don't have permission rights to install programs (roll out exe files) due to the company policy :-(. I'm dieing to use a database though (what can I do without??) and I feel very much blocked right now. I had a great idea in mind for our desk and I tried to avoid the general IT policy, because a development request takes too much time and it may not be delivered exactly the way I want it.
Does anyone have some solutions for me (in whatever language or database)?? This may be totally impossible, I don't know! I was hoping some genius could provide me a workaround! (Or hack the system? ;-) kidding)

"We had to order our own graduation announcements which made me so nervous, but these are beautiful and classy. We were so pleased that we turned around and ordered some more. We have already recommended to others your company. Thanks for making this such a classy, beautiful memory for us."
"These turned out great. We chose the semi gloss over the matte and we highly recommend that. We ordered these because we liked the wording to announce she had already graduated... and not an invitation to graduation. We ordered the envelopes they suggested for regular postage, as well."
"My friends who received the announcement were VERY impressed by the clarity of the pictures, the colors and the quality of the paper stock used. Best of all, the order came 5 days before the estimated delivery time and that made all the difference in the world for my ability to get them addressed and mailed out! This is the second time I have ordered product from Tiny Prints and both experiences have been seamless and fast without compromising the quality of the card. If you have a special announcement or creative card you want to send, this is the company you want! Worth every penny:)"
"I really liked the design of this card, and it was very easy to use. The paper quality was just right, and there were enough choices to personalize it. I would recommend more color than the photo I chose. Picking the special envelopes didn't show up until the very end of the order confirmation, and I spent more time trying to figure that out. I guess in my mind that would show up earlier in the ordering process."
"I use a variety of websites for my photo printing needs. All of the grad invites were very similar on all of those sites. Then I found this one and had the ability to change the quote to a more personal one. Love the ability to format the back so that I could combine the grad announcement with an open house invite. Got them quickly too. Great quality product!"

There has got to be a way to streamline Mountain View's process in terms of getting a building permit so that much-needed businesses like this don't have to move out of town anymore in order to stay open.
a resident of Old Mountain View
on Sep 15, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Was this a permit for remodeling the interior of the building? When I remodeled my kitchen earlier this year, I submitted all my architectural drawings and application and got a building permit within a day. Granted, converting a former convenience store to a restaurant is probably more involved. I wonder how much of the delay was caused by their architect or contractor.
