Western wonders: A traveler's guide to Scotland?s best whisky region
Rugged places call for great drink -- that?s why the best whiskys in Scotland are made in the western part of the country
Article Page
For whisky lovers, Scotland is about the Highlands and the Lowlands, the Isles and Speyside.
Some fall in love with the tastes generated by a certain area, the result of the combination of peat, grain, water and other materials used in production.
For this global traveler, though, with close on a quarter of a century of sampling some of the very best malts in Scotland, some great Irish whiskey, and in more recent years some decent Japanese offerings, the west of Scotland runs second to none in the variety, tastes and types of drink.

How To Do DIY Home Heating Repair
These coming cold months, we should all be ready to take some precautions so that we can be ready for the very low temperatures that are to be expected. These conditions are brought about by the changing climate and so we can't really do anything about it. The best step for us is to be ready in every way that we possibly can.
Switch to Submersible Pumps and Enjoy a Lifetime of Service
It used to be that the method of drawing drink water was usually by means of exerting pressure onto a bar attached to the above-ground pump which not only needed to combat gravitation, yet at the same time air pressure. Currently by having submersible pumps which are literally immersed in the water, we can now easily utilize gravitation in order to drive the water to the surface making these kinds of pumps so much more reliable and long lasting.

As the holiday season settles into the recent past, leaving us with happy memories recorded in our minds and on digital cameras and computers, we can look forward to a quieter time as well as a quieter decor. While it is nice to pull out all our holiday decorations and trim the house and tree, I find it comforting to get back to an old decor phrase: "less is more". It is a perfect time to assess what has been into what can be, just like when you trimmed the house a month or so ago.

Do You Have Too Much Stuff?
Stuff. Most of us have a lot. We think we are blessed, and indeed we are. However, the more you have, the more you have to care for, manage, maintain, move around, and worry about. In other words, you can become possessed by your possessions! So far, it appears our time here on this planet has been about getting things, controlling things, and having pleasurable experiences. Why? Let's explore the answer.

HTC has confirmed that it will be holding a press event in New York on the 19th of February, which is a few days before the majority of MWC companies hold their press conferences. At the time of this post, we believe this will be the company's new flagship phone (currently rumored to be called the M7). We've also received official confirmation that an event will be held in London as well. Regardless of where they're held, we'll be there to get you the info on the latest and greatest from HTC!

UFC 155 picks from Kevin Iole, Maggie Hendricks and Cagereaders like you
Kevin Iole: Junior dos Santos W5 Cain Velasquez -- I can't believe I'm picking against Velasquez. To me, he is in many ways the perfect heavyweight, with great conditioning, great wrestling and tremendous power. But how do we ignore what dos Santos has done? Much was made of Velasquez's knee injury before their first fight, but what isn't as well known is that Junior had a bad leg, too, and couldn't do much. It's going to be a dogfight, but I think Junior finds a way to pull it out.
Maggie Hendricks: Cain Velasquez W5 Junior dos Santos -- Velasquez was injured in his last bout with JDS. With a healthy knee, he'll get to use his wrestling to control and beat on JDS for five rounds.
Cagereaders: Couldn't ask for a better way to end the year than this rematch. This will last longer than the first but not by much. I'm picking Cigano by KO R1. Cain has amazing wrestling and ground and pound. However, I think Junior is the guy that has his number and things won't go as planned for Cain. Velasquez will come out more aggressive than the first fight and that will spell the end. Junior will rock him with some brutal counters causing Cain to shoot in for the take down. Junior will stuff the attempt and finish the fight with an uppercut around 3 minutes into the first. -- Jackson Torres

Kevin Iole: Joe Lauzon W3 Jim Miller -- Definitely will be the Fight of the Night in my opinion (is there any other kind of fight for Lauzon?) I don't think Joe will be able to submit Jim, but he is so active and works so hard I think he'll pile up the points to win.
Maggie Hendricks: Joe Lauzon Sub2 Jim Miller -- Lauzon's submission game is tough to beat. He will need to avoid Miller's well-rounded game, but can do it.
Cagereaders: My two favorite 155 pound fighters. When I saw Miller step in for Maynard, my heart sank. I'm going to see one them lose, and it looks to be J-Lau. Miller matches up really well for Lauzon's style. He has power in his punches and solid wrestling, backed up with a serious ground game and outstanding cardio. Joe has a killer instinct and a more dangerous ground game. Still, I like Miller taking this fought by a UD. -- Tom Hogan
--
Kevin Iole: Tim Boetsch W3 Costas Philippou -- Boetsch will grind out a victory by controlling the distance and limiting Philippou's power
Maggie Hendricks: Tim Boetsch W3 Costa Phillippou -- Ditto on what Kevin said. Boetsch won't make it a thrilling fight, but it will be a convincing win.
Cagereaders: Boetsch over Phillipou by 3rd Round TKO -- I think this fight will be back to forth, I have counted out Tim Boetsch in many fights just to be shocked, from the poor decision in the Lombard fight, to the amazing knock out of Okami, I think Phillipou gets the better of him early in the fight, while Boetsch owns the latter part of the fight, this could easily be fight of the night and if it does go decision, it will be close, but I see Phillipou gassing late and Boetsch taking advantage. -- Daniel Ryan
--
Maggie Hendricks: Alan Belcher W3 Yushin Okami -- With title shot hopes hanging over him, Belcher has good reason to fight a smart game and come out with a win over Okami.
Cagereaders: Yushin Okami will beat Alan Belcher by decision. Okami will go back to what made him successful before his fight with Anderson Silva. He will use his jab and height, keeping Belcher back, then take him down for ground and pound. This will continue for 3 full rounds and Okami will come out with the unanimous decision. -- Marcus Min
__
Kevin Iole: Chris Leben TKO3 Derek Brunson -- This is a big fight for Leben, and I think he knows it. I expect him to eventually catch Brunson with something big that will end it.
Maggie Hendricks: Derek Brunson W3 Chris Leben -- In his first fight after a long layoff, Leben will have a hard time dealing with a wrestler with power like Brunson.
Cagereaders: Derek Brunson should be able to defeat Chris Leben by decision because he has a great wrestling background and Chris Leben may not be in the best shape coming off a 13-month layoff. -- Edgar Diaz

The Quest For Peace During the Holidays and Throughout the Year
While we may often act in our one self-interest we must guard against becoming so selfish and self-absorbed that we neglect to consider the need for others to pursue their own goals and dreams. We have a right to live our lives as we see fit and as great a responsibility to find common ground with others and not to dictate to them how they should live theirs. I believe that that is a strong part of the message of that first Christmas. Others are not wrong, "less-than" nor deserved to be clobbered over the head just because they are different from us or do not share our point of view. Narrow interests must give way to a broader understanding and compromise.
