Jack Daniel's releases a 'white dog' whiskey

(Fox News)  Whiskey lovers now have something more to contemplate than just the amber-hued liquid in their glasses.

For the first time since the Prohibition Era, Jack Daniel’s distillery has formally released a “white dog” unaged rye whiskey.

The Tennessee distillery's Unaged Rye will hit stores across the U.S. early next year, with an initial December launch in select retail outlets in Tennessee.

It is made with a combination of 70 percent rye – 19 percent above the legal minimum for a rye whiskey – 18 percent corn and 12 percent malted barley.  It  still goes through Jack Daniels’ signature charcoal mellowing process, providing a unique tasting experience, says Jack Daniel’s master distiller Jeff Arnett.  (continue at Fox News)

 

What a nice day

Sweet hubby planned a full day of activities for/with me yesterday as part of an early birthday present. (He's so sweet!)  A 280 mile total motorcycle ride which started with breakfast at a little local restaurant.  Destination the Jack Daniels Distillery where we took a tour of the entire process for making Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey. (photos at FaceBook)

Whether you drink whiskey or not, I don't, doesn't matter.  This is a success story and an education. Jack Daniels draws a quarter of a million tourists every year.   We had people from all around the world in our tour group, with visitors from the three top recipients of Jack Daniels exports - Germany, Australia, and the UK.

Jack Daniel's is a brand of sour mash Tennessee whiskey that is the best selling whiskey in the world.^[1] It is known for its square bottles and black label. It is produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee by the Jack Daniel Distillery, which has been owned by the Brown-Forman Corporation since 1956.^[2] Despite being the location of a major operational distillery, Jack Daniel's home county of Moore is a dry county, so the product is not available for consumption at stores or restaurants within the county, although the distillery does sell commemorative bottles of whiskey. (more)

The weather was perfect yesterday for a motorcycle ride and it was also perfect for touring Jack Daniels.  I cannot fully describe the smells around the distillery, but think yeast, fresh baked bread, yummy smells.  The distillery is based where it is because of the cave spring water where the pure, iron-free cave spring water stays the same temperature all year

Like most companies that are prospering these days, (they produce 23 million gallons of amber gold Tennessee Whiskey, about a billion dollars worth every year), Jack Daniels is taxed out the wazoo - nearly 60 percent of the price of a bottle of Jack Daniel’s is in some form of tax.  

You may remember late last year a private citizen wanted the local government to require an additional $10.00 per barrel tax, saying “We are entitled to more money from the only industry in the county...to pay the bills for new schools, roads, bridges, even a new water treatment plant" because "Moore County is “entitled” to more money because Jack Daniel’s used bucolic images of small-town life in Lynchburg to sell its product".  Isn't that the attitude of too many local, state and now the federal government?

... the distillery sells more than 100 million bottles of whiskey every year, it quickly adds up to about $4 million a year. That’s a million dollars more than the entire county budget. And a cost, says Beam, that could affect the company’s growth. (Fox)

The general manager of Jack Daniel’s suggested that the company might move it's business elsewhere, saying the idea of taxing someone just because they’re successful is fundamentally unfair.

“That’s not free enterprise and that’s not what this country was built on,” he said. “I saw a quote the other day that said that a person used to look at a successful person and say now, what do I have to do to become like that? Whereas now, they might look at him and say, what can I do to get what they’ve got.” (Fox)

In the case of Jack Daniels, sanity prevailed.  In November 2011:

  The Moore County Council in Lynchburg, Tenn., voted this week to kill a proposal that could have taxed Jack Daniel's up to $5 million annually. All the revenue would have gone to local coffers. 

The proposal called for a referendum on a plan to tax Jack Daniels whiskey by the barrel to bring it up to $5 million annually. The drive by some residents was killed after a 10 to five vote by the Moore County Council. The company that owns the distillery currently pays one-and-a-half million dollars in local property taxes. (NPR)

The company has taken strides to reduce its environmental footprint and maintain an efficient process for producing a high quality product.  They are good neighbors, good employers, great business managers and produce a product purchased around the world.  But be sure, they will be badgered again by politicians, citizens, and government organizations who will put more roadblocks in their path.  That is the reason so many of our businesses are suffering today.

Thanks again hubby for a wonderful day, a wonderful life!

 

 

Debt Reduction Act Is Like Spandex

Just because it exists, doesn't mean you should buy or wear it if your butt is already as big as the side of a barn.  Just because Wimpy tells you he will pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today, doesn't mean you will ever see the money.  In spite of all things rational, the stinker Debt Reduction Act  passed the House and will most likely pass the Senate.  The Democrats should be thrilled because Barack Obama gets to start spending billions immediately.  The word budget and the concept of debt reduction mean absolutely nothing to the majority in Washington.  According to Rasmussen, Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann are the GOP Front-Runners in the presidential race -- Bachmann voted against the Debt Reduction Act; Romney and Perry publicly stated they were against it.  This should tell the other candidates and current politicians what the people really want.

Example:  Let's say I'm short of money this month.  Do I not purchase my much needed medicine or food and instead spend those precious dollars on a shiny new diamond necklace I've had my eye on for years?  To most sane people the answer is obvious, I buy the medicine and forgo the unnecessary necklace.  I do not go into debt for things I do not need and cannot pay for. 

Enter Barack Hussein Obama and pals who suffer from chronic spending.  When confronted with their wild spending habits, they threaten to hold back payments to elderly and the military, while continuing to spend on things like terrorists in Libya and too many other countries around the world to mention each by name. 

How about all those exaggerated reconstruction costs in Iraq, or the illegal funds to ACORN, or all the CZARS that have no right to exist under the Constitution.  We could cut entire departments within the Federal government and cut our costs, cut our obligations.  But no, we must scare scenior citizens and cut our military.

It't time for some REAL changes in Washington.

We could be slim and trim as a nation.  With the right leaders

What are we supposed to believe

Researches cannot get their stories strait.  One month something is good for us, the next month it will kills us.  We read 'studies' over and over and wonder how they come up with these strange results.  How is anyone suppose to trust any research these days?  We're told now that an hour after drinking even a small amount of alcohol, the risk of stroke increases.  Last month research told us that having a drink or glass of wine each evening would improve out health and decrease our risk or stroke and heart attack.  Only 390 patients were involved in this study.  

But even though your risk may rise over that short time, the researchers noted that moderate drinking over the long-term might actually reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Make up your mind!

"The risk of ischemic stroke may be transiently elevated in the two hours after drinking as little as one serving of beer, wine, or liquor," said lead researcher Elizabeth Mostofsky, a member of the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Research Unit at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.

However, conclusive evidence about the association between alcohol consumption and the acute risk of stroke would require a long-term clinical trial, she added.

Well, duh!

"Nonetheless, these results suggest that there is an acute elevated risk of ischemic stroke that may be offset by the potential beneficial effects of long-term moderate alcohol consumption," Mostofsky said. But the findings may not apply to patients with severe stroke, she added.

Does this make sense to anyone or is it just gobbledygook?  Or perhaps the researchers is just searching for some big government grant with which to conduct this long-term clinical trial?  You can read it all at USA Today, but here's another excerpt:

For the study, published in the July 15 online edition of Stroke, Mostofsky's group interviewed 390 patients about three days after their stroke. Patients who could not speak or were too ill were excluded from the study.

In all, 14 patients had been drinking in the hour before their stroke, the researchers found.

"We found that compared with times when alcohol was not consumed, the relative risk of stroke after alcohol consumption was 2.3 times higher in the hour after drinking beer, wine or liquor," Mostofsky said.

"The relative risk was 1.6 in the second hour after drinking. By 24 hours, there was a 30% lower risk," she said.

This pattern remained regardless of the type of alcohol consumed or whether the patients had exercised before their stroke. Moreover, when the researchers excluded the one patient who had had more than two drinks, the pattern continued.

This finding may be due to the immediate effects of alcohol, which increases blood pressure and causes blood platelets to become stickier, perhaps increasing the risk of clotting, the authors noted.

What way you?  As for me, I'm going to go fix myself a nice, frosty, sugar-free Margarita.  Cheers!  If I live through it, I'll post something new soon.

More reasons to eat chocolate

It has been known for some time that eating dark chocolate is good for your heart, but now there is research that indicates dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa, the higher the better for your health, helps prevent strokes and limit the severity of strokes.  You can find these chocolates almost anywhere, including Wal-Mart or other groceries. 

There is no research that shows white chocolate (which is really not chocolate), milk chocolate, or any chocolate other than dark chocolate has any medicinal benefits.  More research will be done on the other chocolates.

On most packages the percentage of cocoa in on the front packaging.  You can purchase chocolate bars that are sweetened, semi-sweet or 'baking chocolate' which can be unsweetened and used in cooking or to make sauces and candies.

A study of nearly 50,000 people found that those eating chocolate were 22 per cent less likely to suffer a stroke than those that didn't. And those who did suffer a stroke but had indulged in chocolate were 46 per cent less likely to die as a result.  (The Telegraph, hat tip Marcus Wilder)

A new analysis, which involved a review of three prior studies, suggests eating about a bar of chocolate a week can help cut the risk of stroke and lower the risk of death after a stroke. But the evidence is still limited, says study author, neurologist Gustavo Saposnik at St. Michael's Hospital, University of Toronto.  [snip]

One study they looked at found that 44,489 people who ate one serving of chocolate per week were 22% less likely to have a stroke than people who ate no chocolate. Another study found that 1,169 people who ate 50 grams of chocolate once a week were 46% less likely to die following a stroke than people who didn't eat chocolate.

The research appears in this week's Neurology and will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 62nd annual meeting in Toronto in April.  (USA Today)

 Raw cocoa has the highest antioxidant value of all the natural foods in the world!

Cocoa also appears to have anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. And cocoa is a good source of the minerals magnesium, sulphur, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium, and manganese; plus some of the B Vitamins.

Fresh cocoa beans are super-rich in the type of bioflavonoid called flavanols which are strong antioxidants that help maintain healthy blood flow and blood pressure. The heart-healthy flavanols in cocoa, especially the epicatechins, prevent fatty substances in the bloodstream from oxidizing and then clogging the arteries.

Flavanols help make blood platelets less likely to stick together and cause blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes ...  (more)

This latest information on chocolate comes on the heals of recent studies on wine is good for your health.  Not only is red wine good for your heart, but so is white wine, and any form of alcohol (vodka, gin, whiskey, tequila, etc.) in moderate amounts on a daily basis.

I make sweet hubby candy using unsweetened chocolate and Splenda, rather than sugar.  One piece a day after dinner.  What a simple thing to do to improve your chances of heart and artery health.

Go forth, eat chocolate, drink wine or other alcohol, and be healthy!

The Superstress Solution - Review

The Super Stress Solution

by Roberta Lee, M.D.

Review by Debbie Hamilton

I highly recommend this book and it is the only book of it's kind that I have ever recommended.  The author, Dr. Roberta Lee, explains in easy to understand language, how our body works, how the stress of daily life can harm our health, and the very simple things we can do to live healthier and happier lives.  It will be the best $17.16 you've ever spent.

Dr. Lee presents an easy four week plan which includes easy exercises, simple changes in your diet, supplements that your body may need, and ways to take a few minutes out of each day to relax and calm your mind, body and spirit.

"With unique yet easy-to-implement diet and lifestyle changes, this powerfully healing book will help you build oases of calm into your life, moments of control and peace from which you can draw strength and resilience against both the small and large stresses of your day.  ––Dean Ornish, M.D.

By adding a few healthy items to your diet, and getting rid of a few unhealthy items, you can be a happier and healthier person.  Dr. Lee even provides menus for you.

Dark chocolate. Chocolate has a lot going for it in addition to its divine taste. It is plump full of flavanoids -- a powerful class of antioxidants -- which have been shown to lower high blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes. Other compounds found in chocolate seem to lower the "bad" component of cholesterol (LDL) while leaving the "good" (HDL) component unchanged. Dark chocolate also contains several psychoactive chemicals that promote alertness and even euphoria. The latest scientific literature even shows it has some blood pressure lowering properties.

To me, though, that's not what's so beautiful about chocolate. What I think is beautiful about chocolate is its ability to enhance sensory recruitment in every way. It's so inexpensive to have a piece of chocolate and it's so pleasurable, that if that's something you like and that's part of what living well is about, I say: go for it. Once a day, treat yourself to a guilt-free⅓ of a typical dark chocolate bar or 1 ounce of chocolate roughly the size of the palm of a woman's hand. Doctor's orders!

Tea. Although caffeine has been shown to lead to a more positive mood and improved performance, there's a fine line between just enough and too much. Too much caffeine can make you dependent and make you nervous, irritable, and hypersensitive or bring on headaches. Because brewed tea is lower in caffeine per cup than coffee, you can drink more tea than coffee before experiencing these effects. Tea also provides a little L-theanine, a calming amino acid.

Magnesium rich foods. Magnesium is an essential mineral for human nutrition. Magnesium in the body serves several important metabolic functions. It plays a role in the production and transport of energy. It is also important for the contraction and relaxation of muscles and has been shown to reduce blood pressure. Green vegetables such as spinach are good sources of magnesium, as are black beans, peas, nuts (peanuts), seeds (pumpkin and squash), tofu, broccoli and whole, unrefined grains.

Berries. Under stress we naturally crave sweet things but the problem is that nine out of ten times, the sweets we're craving are calorie laden. Berries are naturally sweet and they have vitamin C which tends to be helpful in combating stress. Furthermore, berries have some fiber -- which will decrease cravings by building up bulk in your GI track.

Avocados. When you're under stress, your body tends to use B vitamins at a faster than normal rate. In order to replenish that supply, eat ¼ of an avocado when you're stressed -- on a sandwich, in a salad, or all by itself -- to boost B vitamin levels. In addition to B, avocados are also rich in vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium and a fatty acid known as oleic acid -- this fat has been shown to have a mild influence in lowering cholesterol.  --Dr. Roberta Lee, M.D., The Superstress Solution.

The Superstress Solution even provides exercise routines, with complete instructions, that you can use at home, at the office, while traveling.  If you are a strong athlete or a couch potato, there is something in this book for you.  No matter your current health or your age, you can be healthier and less stressful.

A bottle of wine a day keeps the doctor away

It used to be that an apple a day kept the doctor away, but now it's a bottle of wine, any wine.  Sounds like more fun than an apple.  According to the Telegraph, "Drinking up to a bottle of wine a day cuts the risk of developing heart disease in men by half, controversial new research has found." Do you know what's wrong with that statement and with the study?

As with most "studies", one must look at what the study actually says and also at who conducted the study and how it was conducted.  The study concluded that:

Drinking anything between a quarter of a glass of wine up to a bottle a day reduces the risk of heart disease. 

There's a big difference in a quarter of a glass and a bottle.  Does drinking a full bottle increase your benefits?  Nope.

Experts warned that the protective effect against heart disease did not get bigger the more people drank but the risk of cancer, accidents, mental health problems and liver cirrhosis do increase with high consumption.  

The protective effect did not increase significantly the more people drank and those with the highest consumption,11 units or more – the equivalent to over one bottle of red wine a day – still had a 50 per cent lower chance of heart disease.

Where was the study, which included 41,000 people between the ages of 29 and 69, conducted?

The study, published in the journal Heart, was conducted in Spain, one of the world's largest producers of wine but with one of the lowest death rates from heart disease.

That must have been one fun study, where do we sign up? 

It's not just wine, it's any kind of alcohol:

The effects were seen for all forms of alcohol and were not limited to red wine, which previous research has suggested was especially protective for the heart because of substances in the skins of red grapes.  

Now that I have informed you of this most worthy information, I'm going to get me a margarita and keep my heart healthy.  Cheers!

Camels and Honey Bees and Pets

In 1959, a local newspaper published a fictional account of Virginia City's camel races. Although a complete hoax, it didn't sound like a bad idea.

And so the next year the town actually held a real camel race. Oddly, the winning jockey was legendary film director John Huston, who was in these hills filming "The Misfits."

Fifty years later, they're still at it.

Now you may be wondering, Where do you find racing camels?

Kansas, of course! Specifically, at the exotic animal farm of Joe Hedrick, known to some as the "Camel Whisperer."  (CBS)

Pakistani Camel Jockey Ring Foiled

(AP)  Five children, all younger than 7, were safe with police Monday after immigration officials stopped them from being smuggled to the United Arab Emirates to be used as camel jockeys.

Police detained a couple posing as the children's parents and two other people believed to be involved in an organization supplying child jockeys to the Emirates.

Camel racing dates back hundreds of years in the Gulf, and although using child jockeys is illegal in most places, they are still prized as jockeys because they are lighter than adults, enabling camels to run faster.

Immigration officials said suspicions were aroused Sunday when they noticed that the children seemed scared as they prepared to board a flight from Islamabad to Dubai.  (CBS)

Back at the Obama White House, Michelle Obama has a beehive on the White House lawn to go along with her garden.  She is now using the honey as a special White House gift to dignitaries.  Does anyone really believe that 'designer-clothes-MEchelle' weeds the garden or harvests the honey??? 

What started out as a springtime lark meant to help Michelle Obama's South Lawn veggie garden—a simple beehive—has produced an abundance of sweet honey that the first lady is treating like gold. While initially planned for use in the first family's recipes, the light honey with a hint of mint from local basswood trees has been given an elevated role in the East Wing: It's the main feature in the first lady's gift packages. At the recent G-20 economic meeting in Pittsburgh, for example, the first lady had a wooden gift box made up for each of the visiting spouses. Inside were a tea set colored like the purple-and-white Lincoln china and a crystal vase with two little jars of White House honey. Etched on the vase: "White House Honey 2009." The remaining honey will be jarred for other gifts, used in the kitchen, and offered as tasty treats for visitors.

The homegrown gift is a White House rarity, say historians, which could make it the most sought-after nectar since Romans gave it to their gods.  (US News)

Will Max be a tax break? Can Fido help with FICA?

A bill making the rounds on Capitol Hill marries two feel-good propositions -- tax cuts and pet ownership -- to generate a novel idea: A tax break of up to $3,500 per person for pet care expenses.

The measure is a legislative long shot. But it's been championed by a veteran Hollywood tough guy and by a conservative Michigan congressman, and has drawn the enthusiastic support of animal rights groups eager to promote pet ownership during economic down times.  (ABC)

Popcorn, drugs, politics, and aging

There's something here for everybody, so lean back, relax, and choose your poison.

According to a CBS/AP article, baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 continue to use drugs as they get older, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.   The percentage of Americans age 50-59 who reported use of illicit drugs within a year nearly doubled between 2002 and 2007, from 5.1 per cent to 9.4 per cent.  That's drugs, what about alcohol?

Older Americans are also drinking more.

A Duke University study released earlier this week found binge drinking - consuming five or more alcoholic beverages and long associated with college students- is relatively common among people between ages 50 and 64, according to a USA Today report Monday.

Researchers found that 22 percent of men and 9 percent of women in that age group engaged in binge drinking in the last month. The study also found that 19 percent of men and 13 percent of women had two or more drinks a day, which is considered a heavy drinking habit by the American Geriatric Society guidelines for older people.

Fourteen percent of men and 3 percent of women over 65 also binge drink, according to the study.

The net result of all that drinking might be greater risk of medical problems like stroke, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, neurological damage and poor diabetes control, researchers say.

What they fail to mention in the above article on alcohol, is that two drinks per day, according to the latest cardiology and medical research, are extremely healthy in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and depending on what type of alcohol you use is not detrimental to diabetes control or neurological damage. 

Now, from what you drink to the food you eat to stay healthy, everyone knows that

vegetables are a great source of antioxidants, which reduce inflammation and stress on cells to help prevent or slow the process of cellular aging.   But new research suggests whole-grain cereals especially popcorn, which had the highest antioxidants, followed by whole grain crackers, beat out veggies.

   ...   CBS News medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton explained on "The Early Show" Wednesday.

Ashton said, "Antioxidants were known to be in fruits and vegetables, green tea and red wine, but this is the first time researchers have measured the antioxidant content in these foods, finding they're full of them."

The University of Scranton (Pa.) study by Joe Vinson, a professor of chemistry, found almost all whole-grain breakfast cereals and many common, grain-based snacks contain substantial amounts of polyphenols, a form of antioxidants that is thought to have major health benefits. Ashton said antioxidants are linked to benefits for many health issues, from heart disease to cancer.  (CBS)
