For yrs many were actually produced abroad, then perhaps labeled in Japan. They were quite loose with the criteria(defining on bottle, the source), & it was exploited. About a yr back, the Japan Whiskey board cracked down on this, & there are now stricter rules(apparently) applied. Had read an article in The Japan Times about this, some time back. Would imagine the higher-end stuff has long been held to far higher standards...

Tried Talisker 10 yr scotch, last wk. Smoke, peat & all that jazz - not too bad at all. Moving on to Bourbon..Wild Turkey. Strong stuff. Got 3 more wks, then I'll turn over the whiskey glass for 2 mos Drink 50% of the time! Just finished my first yr of this. Go on/off the sauce for 1,2 or 3 month intervals. If someone's naggin', saying you're a boozer, this refutes nicely. If one can simply drop something for half the time, they're obviously not controlled by it. Also proves to yourself(the most important, in this case), that your willpower is worth it's salt. Lastly, it sure makes that 1st bottle or two a treat, after a lengthy break! I enjoy the mind-game of crawling through the harsh Sahara, knowing there are timed-Oases; interspersed with 1, 2 or 3 month juvenile stints of partying buzzed with the dancing harem to Maria Muldaur...

For Alt News/Views, Try "The Duran"

Good to hear Alexander Mercouris wish all Intl viewers a happy Christmas. Noted he's wrapping up his first full yr of his own Youbube news channel. Wouldn't know what's happening in the world without this guy's clear, balanced reporting. Every weekday's breakfast-listen. Usually offers an eastern perspective on geopolitics, within interesting, historical-context. It raises my spirits to read commenters around the world, who realize the games the main/lamestream media sources play. In various corners of the globe, the sheep just MIGHT be questioning the broken, twisted narratives. With Ukraine; Taiwan/China; & Iran/ Isreal flashpoints, we may be closer to the precipice of ugly, nasty events, moreso than many realize. Let's all hope diplomacy wins the day, & a balance of peace is realized, amongst a fair, respectful, multi-polar approach. The days(daze?) of this beautiful planet tolerating & persisting through empires are no more. If we all don't learn to sing a lil' harmony, the future for our youth WILL be utterly F***ed! -
What do you think; how will the pause affect the team?
Nuxfanabroad replied to Rubik's topic in Canucks Talk
Ask NOT what the Canucks will do for a break(dammitall!) , but rather, what the BREAK will do for the 'Nuckers... BANG! (tragically the posters brains were then splattered by one hiding on a grassy knoll) -
Excellent list..Leetch might demand inclusion, but lacked the longevity.

Wonder if the Sens would bite on a Boeser lure? Van: Brock & Poolman Ott: Zub, Ridly Greig, Tyler Kleven Two guys that would add an intense, nasty side, & a buddy for Podz

Was mighty hair-raising when Martin Brodeur was injured & stuck on 666 Wins! :^O

A lil bored this wk, watched Carlito's Way once again(had been a long time). Sean Penn is off the rails wacky, mind lost to snow. Mahhhhn, that Penelope Ann Miller is sexy as Hell in this flick. Her chemistry with Pacino is sizzlin'. & Old Al is about as cool(dialogue & appearance) as he was in any of his lengthy catalogue of great films. As a bonus, Viggo Mortenson pops in(forgot he was in this) for a short, key sequence. Another film I love from about this period, is Get Shorty(doesn't get the love it deserves). Just epic.

The lousy finish(& top-10 pick) helped facilitate the OEL, Garland acquisition. Also after being coached by a donkey, all Canucks skaters prob now feel like jockeys upon Seabiscuit, in his prime. We may's well accept the good w/the bad, & the team goes fwd with clear conscience... -

Ditto for me(next month is a decade)..got a thing for LIVE 960 chess - I'm too lazy to study/memorize openings, so prefer 960 chess.
