“Created with the choccy connoisseur in mind, this Mozart Black, is an extremely smooth 17% abv. concoction that’s perfect straight up or on the rocks. With notes of dark chocolate, vanilla and caramel it’s bittersweet with a long-lasting finish. More than that, it’s absolutely delicious.” w/ photos
Yemen’s Secret Cities
08/08/11 -- Pretty Cool
“Yemen has been in the news a great deal recently – because of the civil unrest there. Yet little attention has been paid to the country itself – particularly its rich and surprising architectural heritage. So little known outside the country this remarkable architecture has survived hundreds of years. Take a look at the secret cities of Yemen… The Imam’s residence, grand and ornate belies the poverty in which many of the country’s population exist. The country itself is just over half a million square kilometers. Although it is on the Arabian Peninsula many would not think of a country like this having islands but, in fact, Yemen has over two hundred (more of one later). It is the only republic in the area – and one of eight in total in the Arab World. It is thought that around twenty percent of the population live on just over one US dollar a day. It is, then, a poor country, but not one without its advantages.” w/ photos

Top 15 Weird & Mysterious Books
08/08/11 -- Top Lists
“Amongst the many reasons to prefer a book over a file on your e-reader: books have history. Sometimes, the history is obvious and evident. A book might have memories attached to it, or sentimental value. Sometimes, however, the history is weird, twisted, and hidden. There’s an air of mystery to certain books, a thrill of an enigma, a hint of something outside the realm of normality. Here’s a list of such books, ones that have stumped scholars and titillated bibliophiles. And while there’s plenty to be excited about with ebooks, the mysterious origins of a book are never going to translate to the new format.” w/ photos
