Read Bible Book Of Jude Chapter 1 In Online
1 - Jude, A Servant Of Jesus Christ And A Brother Of James, To Those Who Have Been Called, Who Are Loved By God The Father And Kept By Jesus Christ:
3 - Dear Friends, Although I Was Very Eager To Write To You About The Salvation We Share, I Felt I Had To Write And Urge You To Contend For The Faith That Was Once For All Entrusted To The Saints.
4 - For Certain Men Whose Condemnation Was Written About Long Ago Have Secretly Slipped In Among You. They Are Godless Men, Who Change The Grace Of Our God Into A License For Immorality And Deny Jesus Christ Our Only Sovereign And Lord.
5 - Though You Already Know All This, I Want To Remind You That The Lord Delivered His People Out Of Egypt, But Later Destroyed Those Who Did Not Believe.
6 - And The Angels Who Did Not Keep Their Positions Of Authority But Abandoned Their Own Home--these He Has Kept In Darkness, Bound With Everlasting Chains For Judgment On The Great Day.
7 - In A Similar Way, Sodom And Gomorrah And The Surrounding Towns Gave Themselves Up To Sexual Immorality And Perversion. They Serve As An Example Of Those Who Suffer The Punishment Of Eternal Fire.
8 - In The Very Same Way, These Dreamers Pollute Their Own Bodies, Reject Authority And Slander Celestial Beings.
9 - But Even The Archangel Michael, When He Was Disputing With The Devil About The Body Of Moses, Did Not Dare To Bring A Slanderous Accusation Against Him, But Said, "The Lord Rebuke You!"
10 - Yet These Men Speak Abusively Against Whatever They Do Not Understand; And What Things They Do Understand By Instinct, Like Unreasoning Animals--these Are The Very Things That Destroy Them.
11 - Woe To Them! They Have Taken The Way Of Cain; They Have Rushed For Profit Into Balaam's Error; They Have Been Destroyed In Korah's Rebellion.
12 - These Men Are Blemishes At Your Love Feasts, Eating With You Without The Slightest Qualm--shepherds Who Feed Only Themselves. They Are Clouds Without Rain, Blown Along By The Wind; Autumn Trees, Without Fruit And Uprooted--twice Dead.
13 - They Are Wild Waves Of The Sea, Foaming Up Their Shame; Wandering Stars, For Whom Blackest Darkness Has Been Reserved Forever.
14 - Enoch, The Seventh From Adam, Prophesied About These Men: "See, The Lord Is Coming With Thousands Upon Thousands Of His Holy Ones
15 - To Judge Everyone, And To Convict All The Ungodly Of All The Ungodly Acts They Have Done In The Ungodly Way, And Of All The Harsh Words Ungodly Sinners Have Spoken Against Him."
16 - These Men Are Grumblers And Faultfinders; They Follow Their Own Evil Desires; They Boast About Themselves And Flatter Others For Their Own Advantage.
18 - They Said To You, "In The Last Times There Will Be Scoffers Who Will Follow Their Own Ungodly Desires."
19 - These Are The Men Who Divide You, Who Follow Mere Natural Instincts And Do Not Have The Spirit.
20 - But You, Dear Friends, Build Yourselves Up In Your Most Holy Faith And Pray In The Holy Spirit.
21 - Keep Yourselves In God's Love As You Wait For The Mercy Of Our Lord Jesus Christ To Bring You To Eternal Life.
23 - Snatch Others From The Fire And Save Them; To Others Show Mercy, Mixed With Fear--hating Even The Clothing Stained By Corrupted Flesh.
24 - To Him Who Is Able To Keep You From Falling And To Present You Before His Glorious Presence Without Fault And With Great Joy--
25 - To The Only God Our Savior Be Glory, Majesty, Power And Authority, Through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Before All Ages, Now And Forevermore! Amen.

Driving in snowy conditions |
The best advice for driving in bad winter weather is not to drive at all, if you can avoid it. Don't go out until the snow plows and sanding trucks have had a chance to do their work, and allow yourself extra time to reach your destination. If you must drive in snowy conditions, make sure your car is prepared, and that you know how to handle road conditions. It's helpful to practice winter driving techniques in a snowy, open parking lot, so you're familiar with how your car handles. Consult your owner's manual for tips specific to your vehicle.
Driving safely on icy roads
- Decrease your speed and leave yourself plenty of room to stop. You should allow at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you.
- Brake gently to avoid skidding. If your wheels start to lock up, ease off the brake.
- Turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists.
- Keep your lights and windshield clean.
- Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills.
- Don't use cruise control or overdrive on icy roads.
- Be especially careful on bridges, overpasses and infrequently traveled roads, which will freeze first. Even at temperatures above freezing, if the conditions are wet, you might encounter ice in shady areas or on exposed roadways like bridges.
- Don't pass snow plows and sanding trucks. The drivers have limited visibility, and you're likely to find the road in front of them worse than the road behind.
- Don't assume your vehicle can handle all conditions. Even four-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles can encounter trouble on winter roads.
- Take your foot off the accelerator.
- Steer in the direction you want the front wheels to go. If your rear wheels are sliding left, steer left. If they're sliding right, steer right.
- If your rear wheels start sliding the other way as you recover, ease the steering wheel toward that side. You might have to steer left and right a few times to get your vehicle completely under control.
- If you have standard brakes, pump them gently.
- If you have anti-lock brakes (ABS), do not pump the brakes. Apply steady pressure to the brakes. You will feel the brakes pulse this is normal.
- Take your foot off the gas and shift to neutral, but don't try to steer immediately.
- As the wheels skid sideways, they will slow the vehicle and traction will return. As it does, steer in the direction you want to go. Then put the transmission in "drive" or release the clutch, and accelerate gently.
- Do not spin your wheels. This will only dig you in deeper.
- Turn your wheels from side to side a few times to push snow out of the way.
- Use a light touch on the gas, to ease your car out.
- Use a shovel to clear snow away from the wheels and the underside of the car.
- Pour sand, kitty litter, gravel or salt in the path of the wheels, to help get traction.
- Try rocking the vehicle. (Check your owner's manual first it can damage the transmission on some vehicles). Shift from forward to reverse, and back again. Each time you're in gear, give a light touch on the gas until the vehicle gets going.

Winter driving tips from Audi driving instructor Harald Büttner.

She went to the internet and purchased a medication -- without a prescription -- and is now losing her eyesight because of cateracts and glaucoma (side effects of this prescription med without physician oversight).
Writing in the Lancet, the researchers said: "The expansion of the internet is relentless and, from the perspective of patients seeking information, in the main positive.I think all that is good stuff except for the last paragraph. I am definitely aware of the issue. However, it's going to be next to impossible for me to "police" this as they are asking.
"However, the online availability of controlled and uncontrolled drug therapies needs to be carefully monitored."
Mr Fraser added: "If you look online it is extremely easy to get hold of anything you like. Obviously, you do not need a prescription.
"If you are going to access medicines on the internet you are gambling with your own health."
He said doctors needed to be more aware of the issue and to make sure that they asked patients whether they were taking any medicines purchased over the counter or online.
People can tell me if I'm wrong, but, if my patient doesn't think that I'm adequately treating a certain condition, I think my patient would be reluctant to tell me if she/he purchased a medication on the internet -- just out of embarrassment. This doesn't only apply to prescription med purchases on the internet, but also herbal and alternative treatments.
I think I have set up an environment where I think my patient would be able to open up and tell me about this, but putting the burden on docs to police this information is not fair. Communication is a two-way street and is essential for ideal medical care.

Focus on your patients. We have you covered.
Medical office insurance from a trusted and reliable agency.
Just as your patients need to maintain insurance coverage, so should you. Your medical office comes with a unique set of risks and a specialty medical office insurance policy can keep you protected against a loss.
The risks your medical office faces.
While the list of every possible risk your medical office faces is lengthy, you can get specialized insurance to bring you comprehensive coverage and peace of mind. Here are some of the most common risk factors in the medical industry that can be covered with the right insurance policy in place:
- Medical Malpractice
- Spoilage of Medical Supplies
- Needlestick Injuries
- Medical Equipment Replacement
- Cyber Crime
- Employee Lawsuits
- Regulatory Billing Errors
- Fiduciary Crime
Click it. Read it. Cover it.
- Click on the hotspots.
- Discover your risks.
- Get the right coverage.
Doctors and licensed staff face a high risk of being sued by patients for such things as claiming a wrong diagnosis or treatment. Some high claims settlements could even force the office or practice to close its doors.
Professional liability insurance, commonly known as medical malpractice insurance, can protect a doctor and other licensed staff from a lawsuit that could become quite costly.
Many medical offices unknowingly underestimate the costs associated with replacing medical equipment. It's not uncommon to find out that there is not enough coverage to replace it, and sometimes it's already too late.
With a business owners policy (BOP), most medical and general office equipment is included as business personal property and would be protected in the event of a covered loss. For specialized, high-valued equipment, a separate policy may be required. Your agent can help you to make that determination.
What would you do if a fire destroyed your patient records? Maintaining medical records is important not only for patient care, but also in the case of a potential lawsuit defense.
Medical records coverage can be included within a business owners policy. This protects your practice and covers the cost of recreating your paper or electronic medical records in the event of a loss.
What would you do if a fire impacted the operation of your practice? Or what if a pipe leak caused a system outage or extended downtime? These and other events can destroy your ability to treat patients and bring in revenue, which can have a major long-term impact on the viability of your practice.
Business interruption insurance compensates you for lost income if your practice cannot operate as normal due to damage that is covered under your commercial property insurance policy, such as fire or water damage. This type of insurance covers the revenue your practice would have earned, based on your financial records, had the incident not occurred. The policy also covers continuing operating expenses such as rent, electricity, and ordinary payroll.
With an estimated 800,000 healthcare workers suffering needlestick and sharps injuries each year, chances are you or someone you know has already been affected.
Workers' compensation typically covers the cost for the employee's initial blood test. That way, any resulting infections can be identified and treated much sooner. Employer's liability insurance may also be considered to offer additional protection if your employee files a lawsuit. Check with your agent to see if your insurance coverage offers this type of protection.
The Internet has spun a whole new web of liability exposures. E-commerce, social networking, cloud storage, and other technologies bring great benefits to large and small practices alike. But with these benefits also come challenges, including protection of privacy, data, and the financial information of your customers.
Cyber liability insurance protects your practice in the event of unauthorized access to electronic data or software within your network. It also provides coverage for spreading a virus, extortion, accidental release of personal identifiable information and resultant damage caused by a lost or stolen laptop or other mobile device. This coverage is quickly becoming more and more important as you embrace technology to help run your practice.
Have you ever faced billing error allegations by the federal government or private payers?
Errors and omissions liability insurance can provide reimbursement for defense costs, fines and penalties, as well as shadow audit expenses incurred in billing error proceedings brought by government agencies, contractors, and commercial payers. This is typically a specialized type of coverage, so it's important to check with your agent to determine if your current coverage is sufficient to addresses this exposure.
As a business owner, you've worked hard to build a solid practice. But what happens when the unexpected occurs? Are you covered?
A business owners policy is uniquely designed to protect your most important assets, including your practice, its continuation, and your way of life. Discuss the details of this coverage with your agent to ensure that you're protected.
Practices are susceptible to many risks, such as claims due to bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, and more.
General liability insurance is an absolute necessity for any practice. It provides broad coverage when you are deemed responsible and liable, and will also pay to defend any covered lawsuit or action, regardless of its merit. Additional limits are also available with a commercial umbrella insurance policy.
On average, it's estimated that three out of five businesses will be sued by their employees. While there is nothing you can do to prevent someone from filing a lawsuit, you can limit the costs of defending a legal claim with proper insurance coverage.
Obtain employment practices liability insurance (EPLI) to protect your practice and its directors, officers, and employees from alleged employment-related acts such as wrongful termination, failure to promote, discrimination, and sexual harassment.
If one of your employees receives an injury or becomes ill due to a work-related occurrence, you are required by law to have the proper coverage in place.
Workers' compensation protects your employees in the event that a job related injury or sickness occurs during the course of their employment. This coverage is required by law, so be sure that your practice has it.
What would you do if one of your trusted employees were to be found guilty of doing something dishonest or if you find that the funds have been mismanaged in your pension plan?
Crime and fidelity coverage is designed to provide coverage for employee dishonesty, forgery and depository, theft, destruction, disappearance, and more. Fiduciary liability coverage also meets ERISA requirements to protect the funds in your pension plan.
Your healthcare practice's refrigeration system may suffer a mechanical breakdown which could cause the supply of vaccines on hand to spoil.
Spoilage coverage can be provided as an added endorsement to your business owners policy. This type of coverage will protect your practice from large costs associated with perishable medicines and supplies.
What happens when your practice faces a large liability loss that exceeds the basic limit of your standard policy?
A commercial umbrella insurance policy provides high limits of insurance, typically between $2,000,000 and $10,000,000. Coverage is extended over your general liability insurance, workers' compensation, and business auto insurance. It provides a great safety net and helps ensure your practice is well protected.
The business side of medical offices.
Naturally, such insurance can include more common business risks such as damage to property, personal injury, and liability for visitors and loss of income if your office is temporarily unusable. However, it also includes some specific risks for the medical profession.
Coverage against risks related to medical offices.
For example, if you had an electrical failure or a mechanical breakdown, medical goods such as vaccines could spoil. A data breach or computer hack could be particularly devastating given the sensitive information you store. Paper records could be costly to replace after a fire. All of this can be covered.
Medical malpractice as a separate coverage.
Don't make any assumptions about your policy, however. Medical office insurance is highly unlikely to cover medical malpractice and other liabilities relating to the advice and treatment you provide, so you'll need to get such coverage separately.

Knowing Christmas is near, this post is perfect timing. A special thank you to the organizing superstar, Cassie from Hi Sugarplum, she has reminded me why corralling all of those gift wrapping supplies in one convenient place is so smart and important. I love what she has done, and her personal spin on a really great wrapping station.
Hello fellow lovers of all things organized! I'm thrilled to be back here, showing off my latest
Two years ago when I revealed my son's new room, I didn't quite show all the details....like the fact I was hoarding bins of wrapping paper and ribbon under his bed! He didn't really appreciate me using up that good stash space (you know boys and all that 'stuff' they bring home), or waking him up at midnight when I remembered I needed a gift wrapped for the next morning.
So after purging through the unnecessarily large collection, I hopped over to Container Store for their Door and Wall Rack System. I've learned the hard way to get more than you think you'll need, and just return the extras....so I picked up several large deep baskets and shallow baskets, along with a media rack and wall bar. I was going to screw the bar directly into the door, but decided I wanted the flexibility to move it (and to take it with me if we ever move!), so we used over-the-door hooks.
First step is to place all the paper in a deep basket, with the media rack helping to keep it upright. Once this is done, you'll be able to see how much door space remains for the rest of your supplies. My house is not large, so it's important I get the most out of every space.
I folded tissue paper over the rack to keep it smooth, and it also acts as a wall to hold in the really short rolls of paper. (Darn you Target Dollar Spot and your irresistible tiny rolls!)
The top rack holds the tall and oversized spools of ribbon, and the next two racks hold the standard sized rolls. Arranged by color, of course. I may have started hyperventilating at this point.
Gift bags, boxes and gift card holders fit snugly in another deep basket, placed just above the wrapping paper.
And package embellishments are clipped to the outside, so nothing gets lost or overlooked.
I wanted a type of command center at eye-level for the small and frequently used items, so I added a magnetic strip.
That created more storage space by utilizing every part of the door.
Magnetic containers (mine are Ikea) are perfect for corralling small gift tags,
and skinny ribbon and twine.
I created an Important Dates sheet {which you can download for free here} and clipped it to the strip as well. It's so convenient to see all the birthdays and anniversaries in a single glance. Even the scissors stick up there (and out of reach for tiny hands) with the help of a small magnet!
Another shallow basket sits below, with a bucket for hole punches, pens and tape, and containers for the other smaller items.
I didn't realize my obsession with cute gift cards and tags until I rounded them up from all my stashes. It's so much simpler to find the perfect tag with them all in one tidy spot.
The other boxes hold more ribbon remnants and metallic string. And obviously I didn't need labels...but I never pass up the opportunity! Plus, the gift wrapping station is more likely to stay organized if it's clear where everything belongs.
I'm so smitten with this new spot that I couldn't stop
I was partial to the silver shelving unit, but used a white over-the-door hook so it would blend in with the door. It's so small it's not even noticeable from the other side.
How many times do you think I've opened this door (with lots of flair and after a drumroll)? Nope, more than that! Who knew a small hall closet door could be
If you've made it through this post, and your heart is racing, then you and I are meant to be. Isn't sharing our irrational love of pretty, organized spaces grand?! My son is pretty happy, too...now he can stash who-knows-what under his bed again! Do you have a system for keeping gift wrap organized?

We consider whether any tax is due on the sale of the family home and the availability of principal private residence and other reliefs.
A valuable relief exists on the sale of the family home but in certain situations careful planning is required to ensure that the relief is obtained. If you live in the Walthamstow area we, at Christiansons, can provide taxation advice to ensure that maximum opportunity is taken of principal private residence relief.
The capital gains tax (CGT) exemption for gains made on the sale of your home is one of the most valuable reliefs from which many people benefit during their lifetime. The relief is well known: CGT exemption whatever the level of the capital gain on the sale of any property that has been your main residence. In this factsheet we look at the operation of the relief and consider factors that may cause it to be restricted.
Only a property occupied as a residence can qualify for the exemption. An investment property in which you have never lived would not qualify.
The term 'residence' can include outbuildings separate from the main property, but this is a difficult area. Please talk to us if this is likely to be relevant to you.
'Occupying' as a residence requires a degree of permanence so that living in a property for say, just two weeks with a view to benefiting from the exemption is unlikely to work.
The exemption includes land that is for 'occupation and enjoyment with the residence as its garden or grounds up to the permitted area'. The permitted area is half a hectare including the site of the property which equates to about 1.25 acres in old money! Larger gardens and grounds may qualify but only if they are appropriate to the size and character of the property and are required for the reasonable enjoyment of it. This can be a difficult test. In a court case the exemption was not given on land of 7.5 hectares attached to a property. The owner said he needed that land to enjoy the property because he was keen on horses and riding. The courts decided that the owner's subjective liking for horses was irrelevant and, applying an objective test, the land was not needed for the reasonable enjoyment of the property.
What if you want to sell off some of your garden for someone else to build on? Will the exemption apply? In simple terms it will if you continue to own the property with the rest of the garden and the total original area was within the half a hectare limit.
Where the total area exceeds half a hectare and some is sold then you would have to show that the part sold was needed for the reasonable enjoyment of the property and this can clearly be difficult if you were prepared to sell it off.
What if on the other hand you sell your house and part of the garden and then at a later date sell the rest of the garden off separately, say for development? Then you will not get the benefit of the exemption on the second sale because the land is no longer part of your main residence at the point of sale.
It is increasingly common for people to own more than one residence. However an individual can only benefit from the CGT exemption on one property at a time. In the case of a married couple (or civil partnership), there can only be one main residence for both. Where an individual has two (or more) residences then an election can be made to choose which should be the one to benefit from the CGT exemption on sale. Note that the property need not be in the UK to benefit although there are additional restrictions from April 2015 detailed below. Also foreign tax implications may need to be brought into the equation.
The election must normally be made within two years of the change in the number of residences and the potential consequences of failure to elect are shown in the case study that follows.
Furthermore the case study demonstrates the beneficial rule that allows CGT exemption for the last nine months of ownership of a property that has at some time been the main residence. Where the owner of the property is in long term care or a disabled person, and meets the necessary conditions, they benefit from a CGT exemption for the last 36 months of ownership.
Wayne, an additional rate taxpayer, acquired a home in 2009 in which he lived full-time. In 2013 he bought a second home and divided his time between the two properties.
Wayne elects for the second home to be treated as his main residence for CGT purposes. In June 2024 he sells both properties realising a gain of say £100,000 on the first property and £150,000 on the second property.
The gain on the second property is CGT-free because of the election.
Part of the gain on the first property is exempt, namely that relating to:
The overall gain on the first property would be time apportioned between the exempt period and the period remaining chargeable.
A person's residence may not be eligible for Private Residence relief (PRR) for a tax year unless either:
The rules apply to both a UK resident disposing of a residence in another country and a non-resident disposing of a UK residence.
It is important to note that from 6 April 2020 those liable to CGT on a residential property disposal must send a new standalone online return to HMRC and make a payment on account of the tax due within 60 days of completion of the sale. These requirements do not apply if the gains are covered by PRR.
More and more people work from home these days. Does working from home affect the CGT exemption on sale? The answer is simple - it may do!
Rather more helpfully the basic rule is that the exemption will be denied to the extent that part of your home is used exclusively for business purposes. In many cases of course the business use is not exclusive, your office doubling as a spare bedroom for guests for example, in which case there is not a problem.
Where there is exclusive business use then part of the gain on sale will be chargeable rather than exempt. However, it may well be that you plan to acquire a further property, also with part for business use, in which case the business use element of the gain can be deferred by 'rolling over' the gain against the cost of the new property.
Prior to 6 April 2020 letting relief gave up to £40,000 (£80,000 for a couple who jointly own the property) to someone letting part or all of a property which was their main residence or was their former main residence at some point in their period of ownership. However under the revised rules letting relief is only available where the owner and tenant share occupancy throughout the period of the let.
Certain other periods of absence from your main residence may also qualify for CGT relief if say you have to leave your property to go and work elsewhere in the UK or abroad. The availability of the exemption depends on your circumstances and length of period of absence. Please talk to us if this is relevant for you. We would be delighted to set out the rules as they apply to your particular situation.
The exemption is also available where a property is owned by trustees and occupied by one of the beneficiaries as their main residence.
Until December 2003 it was possible to transfer a property you owned but which was not eligible for CGT main residence relief into a trust for say the benefit of your adult children. Any gain could be deferred using the gift relief provisions. One of your children could then live in the property as their main residence and on sale the exemption would have covered the entire gain.
HMRC decided that this technique was being used as a mechanism to avoid CGT and so blocked the possibility of combining gift relief with the main residence exemption in these circumstances.
The main residence exemption continues to be one of the most valuable CGT reliefs. However the operation of the relief is not always straightforward nor is its availability a foregone conclusion. Advance planning can help enormously in identifying potential issues and maximising the available relief. If you live in the Walthamstow area we, at Christiansons, can help with this. Please contact us if you have any questions about capital gains tax and the family home or would like specific advice relevant to your personal circumstances.

WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL is a major rite of passage for many in their late teens and early twenties. They post images of their swollen cheeks on social media, share videos of themselves acting loopy from the anesthetics on YouTube, and enjoy an excuse to drink as many smoothies as possible. But why do we have these teeth in the first place if most of us just get them removed?
Vestigial Third Molars
The prevailing theory about why we have a third set of molars is that our ancient ancestors needed them to effectively grind up the foods they ate. Unlike a modern diet of softer cooked and processed foods, theirs consisted of roots, fibrous plants, and raw meat, so they actually needed their wisdom teeth.
Some theorize that it is our diets more than our genes that determine whether or not we have room in our jaws for all thirty-two teeth. Eating a prehistoric diet during the developmental years might stimulate enough growth to accommodate them, while a modern diet does not (but we don't recommend testing this theory).
Why Wisdom Teeth Are Removed
A small (but growing) percentage of people never get wisdom teeth at all, or have fewer than four, but for most, they show up between ages 17 and 21. With enough room, they can come in with no trouble, but many people experience problems that necessitate extraction.
The main reasons for wisdom tooth extraction are impaction (meaning they are trapped beneath the gums, where they can form cysts and damage nearby teeth and bone) and insufficient room in the jaw, which causes damage, crowding, and pain. Some dental work may require wisdom teeth removal as well. If your wisdom teeth come in correctly and you are able to clean them properly, you might not need to have them removed, so enjoy your extra chewing power!
Tips To Remember Before You Get Yours Removed
If your wisdom teeth do need to be removed, be sure to rest up before the big day so that you'll be able to heal as quickly as possible. Afterward, stay well hydrated and avoid alcoholic, caffeinated, and hot beverages for the first day or two, because these can all cause problems with the extraction sites. However, you can enjoy as many soft foods like ice cream, yogurt, and applesauce as you want! After a couple of days, you can add in soups, but wait a week or two before you go back to hard or chewy foods.
We'll Take Care Of Your Smile
No two cases of wisdom teeth removal are exactly the same, which is why we approach them on a case-by-case basis. We watch their progress as they come in to determine whether extraction will be necessary. Some discomfort is normal for any teeth coming in, but if you're experiencing what seems like an unusual amount of pain from your wisdom teeth, come see us right away.

Fans of Maker's Mark whiskey have a message for the company that has brought them their favorite bourbon in trademark red-wax-sealed bottles for nearly 60 years. They'd like it neat, please. Maker's Mark, based in Loretto, Ky., announced over the weekend that the company would begin watering down its iconic whiskey in order to boost supply. The response was lightning fast and deeply felt. A representative response on Twitter:
[tweet https://twitter.com/fluphead/status/300682943712604160%5D
The addition of water will also mean the bourbon will contain almost 7% less alcohol, making it an 84-proof whiskey instead of the 90 proof it's been bottled at since the distillery began selling its bourbon in 1959.
Alba Huerta, general manager of the nationally renowned cocktail bar Anvil in Houston, Texas, said the news left her dismayed. "I spent all day yesterday talking about this on Twitter when it exploded," she says. "I am afraid they are diluting their brand."
(MORE: Top 10 Prohibition Tales)
"Maker's reputation in my bar is pretty high class. When someone walks into Anvil and don't recognize a lot of the labels, they are likely going to turn to Maker's. It's always been a very approachable whiskey — but it does have character."
The change in proof could alter that, she said, and will certainly make her less likely to use Maker's in the craft cocktails Anvil is known for. "When you are building a cocktail, you really reach for a higher element of proof as a backbone to stand up against the dilution and other ingredients in the cocktail. A lower proof really makes a significant difference."
In an interview with TIME, Maker's Mark chairman emeritus Bill Samuels Jr. — whose father created the bourbon's unique recipe in 1954 using red winter wheat instead of rye — insisted that drinkers won't notice the difference. The idea originated with Samuels' son, Maker's Mark chief operating officer Rob Samuels. (The company is still family run, although it's owned by Beam Inc., which also owns Jim Beam bourbon and Courvoisier cognac.) When Rob suggested the change last year, Bill Jr. said he was slow to agree. "Rob asked me about six months ago, 'What would you think about a proof reduction?'" Samuels tells TIME. "I said it has to meet our taste guidelines. Our commitment is to our customers — and we really have a close relationship with them — which is why there has been so much more noise with this than with normal brands. So he had a couple bottles of the new proof made, one for me and one for him. That became our nightly cocktail."
The elder Samuels said he drinks his Maker's just like his own father Bill Samuels Sr. did — on the rocks or in a Manhattan. And after more than 30 days of nightly tastings, both he and his son agreed that the lower proof tasted just like Maker's is supposed to. "I was completely convinced," he says.
(MORE: Is the Bourbon Boom for Real?)
Rob adds: "The taste is the same and the process that influences the taste is exactly the same."
That's because the more alcohol that is in a whiskey the more your taste buds are dulled when drinking it, the elder Samuels said. Reducing the alcohol by volume means that the flavor can be more diluted and yet come across as just as strong in the drinker's mouth and nose, according to Samuels.
Most Maker's fans haven't been able to put those assertions to the test yet. The new version won't hit shelves for another two weeks or so, depending on where drinkers live, the company said.
Still, Houston's Huerta isn't alone among bourbon experts sweating the change. "Will Maker's Mark sell more bourbon? Probably so," says Joy Perrine, co-author of The Kentucky Bourbon Cocktail Book and a Louisville, Ky., bartender for nearly 40 years. "Many people won't notice. But will it damage its standing among people who love Maker's Mark and drink only Maker's Mark — and there are plenty of those people? I think it will."
Adding water to bourbon changes its profile, she said, and it's easy enough to see why. "Do an experiment: pour yourself four shots of bourbon" adding either no water or a different amount of water in each — and see what happens. "No ice, nothing else. Give it a stir and let it sit for five or 10 minutes and taste them. Make notes. Come up with your own opinion."
Each will taste differently, she said.
Bill Samuels Jr. has spent his entire career trying to get more people to love his father's whiskey, and he's built much of the company's success bar by bar, traveling the country for his father to meet bartenders in America's largest cities. The company sold 250 cases of whiskey in 1959; last year, it sold 1 million.
(MORE: What Are You Drinking? Results from Zagat's Debut Mixology Survey)
In the past, the company has been able to tinker with its aging process to keep its supply in sync with demand. "For the last 40 years, my job has been to be the guardian around this place," he tells TIME, "and the old man was insistent that our first job, second job and third job was product consistency. He didn't want to see any wandering around with the taste profile." He adds, "I signed off on every batch."
Bourbon drinking has been booming in the past decade in America and abroad, fueled in part by the craft-cocktail craze but also by the dozens of new small-batch bourbons that have come on the market in the wake of Maker's Mark's success. The surging demand caught even Bill Samuels Jr. by surprise — "This is the first time I've been this wrong," he says — and altering the aging of the whiskey, from about seven years to just under six years, is no longer enough to keep up.
However, Rob Samuels notes that switching to a lower proof is a tweak no different to changing the aging — one that will affect the strength of the bourbon but not its taste. "And taste is what we have always gone by," he says.
The proof, so to speak, will be in the pouring. Huerta, who is set to open a bourbon bar in Houston this year that will feature up to 150 bourbons — if they are available — said she's worried that Maker's, which has always been a trendsetter in the industry, is setting a dangerous precedent.
"It's been difficult to get Maker's for the last several months, supply has been so tight," Huerta says. "And other distilleries are in the same position as Maker's, without enough product to go around. But with this decision, I fear that dilution will become the solution for other distilleries too."

Three Norman Rockwell paintings sold for a combined total of nearly $58 million at a Sotheby's auction Wednesday. The three paintings, which had long been displayed in a Massachusetts museum named for the artist, were among 10 Rockwell works sold at auction today.
By far, the star of the bunch was the 1951 masterpiece Saying Grace, which sold for $46 million — a record for Rockwell's art. The price includes a buyer's premium. The AP says the artist's previous record of $15 million had been set by Breaking Home Ties at a 2006 Sotheby's auction.
The famous Saying Grace depicts a woman and boy bowing their heads in prayer at a table in a bustling restaurant, as other patrons pause for a moment to look on.
Before the auction, Saying Grace had been expected to garner between $15 million and $20 million. The painting by the beloved Saturday Evening Post illustrator has been exhibited in more than a dozen museums around America.
The other two paintings that had been on long-term loan to the were The Gossips, which sold for nearly $8.5 million, and Walking to Church, which topped $3.2 million.
Those three paintings were sold by descendants of Kenneth J. Stuart, the Evening Post art editor who worked with Rockwell for nearly 20 years and who had received the works as gifts from the artist.
In its background information about today's sale, Sotheby's includes this quote from a letter Rockwell wrote to Stuart:
"The encouragement and freedom you give me in my work shows what a great impresario you are. It is great to feel that your art editor is one hundred per cent for you, and is a real friend. This may sound a bit flowery, but it is completely sincere, and I do want to express my thanks to you."

'Mrs. F.D. Roosevelt' has mid-green leaves, and in midseason, bears large, double, fragrant, pink flowers. Peonies are herbaceous perennials arising from thickened tuberous roots. Largely invisible, hidden underground most of the year, they are quite spectacular when they emerge. In spring, purple divided leaves push through the soil, rapidly unfurling and turning green. The fine foliage is attractive in its own right, the flowers are very showy, coming in three types: single or semi-double, Japanese, with one row of petals and a large center, and highly ruffled double forms. The colors generally range from white, light pink to magenta and red. Plant peony tubers in the fall, 1 to 2 inches deep, in well prepared garden beds, with organic matter worked in. They respond well to a yearly fertilization, and addition of bonemeal. It is best to leave them undisturbed, dividing them infrequently. Botyritus can be a problem during humid spells. Peonies are one of the longest living herbaceous perennials often found in older gardens, for once established they will survive neglect. One hundred year old peonies are not uncommon.

Plant Care
How-to : Fertilization for Annuals and PerennialsAnnuals and perennials may be fertilized using: 1.water-soluble, quick release fertilizers; 2. temperature controlled slow-release fertilizers; or 3. organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion. Water soluble fertilizers are generally used every two weeks during the growing season or per label instructions. Controlled, slow-release fertilizers are worked into the soil ususally only once during the growing season or per label directions. For organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion, follow label directions as they may vary per product.
Conditions : Light ConditionsUnless a site is completely exposed, light conditions will change during the day and even during the year. The northern and eastern sides of a house receive the least amount of light, with the northern exposure being the shadiest. The western and southern sides of a house receive the most light and are considered the hottest exposures due to intense afternoon sun.
You will notice that sun and shade patterns change during the day. The western side of a house may even be shady due to shadows cast by large trees or a structure from an adjacent property. If you have just bought a new home or just beginning to garden in your older home, take time to map sun and shade throughout the day. You will get a more accurate feel for your site's true light conditions.
Conditions : Full to Partial Sun
Full sunlight is needed for many plants to assume their full potential. Many of these plants will do fine with a little less sunlight, although they may not flower as heavily or their foliage as vibrant. Areas on the southern and western sides of buildings usually are the sunniest. The only exception is when houses or buildings are so close together, shadows are cast from neighboring properties. Full sun usually means 6 or more hours of direct unobstructed sunlight on a sunny day. Partial sun receives less than 6 hours of sun, but more than 3 hours. Plants able to take full sun in some climates may only be able to tolerate part sun in other climates. Know the culture of the plant before you buy and plant it!
Conditions : Moist and Well DrainedMoist and well drained means exactly what it sounds like. Soil is moist without being soggy because the texture of the soil allows excess moisture to drain away. Most plants like about 1 inch of water per week. Amending your soil with compost will help improve texture and water holding or draining capacity. A 3 inch layer of mulch will help to maintain soil moisture and studies have shown that mulched plants grow faster than non-mulched plants.
Conditions : Normal Watering for Outdoor Plants
Normal watering means that soil should be kept evenly moist and watered regularly, as conditions require. Most plants like 1 inch of water a week during the growing season, but take care not to over water. The first two years after a plant is installed, regular watering is important for establishment. The first year is critical. It is better to water once a week and water deeply, than to water frequently for a few minutes.
How-to : Preparing Garden BedsUse a soil testing kit to determine the acidity or alkalinity of the soil before beginning any garden bed preparation. This will help you determine which plants are best suited for your site. Check soil drainage and correct drainage where standing water remains. Clear weeds and debris from planting areas and continue to remove weeds as soon as they come up.
A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established.
How-to : Pinching and Thinning Perennials
Once you plant a perennial, it does not mean that you will enjoy years of maintenance-free gardening. Perennials need to be cared for just like any other plant. One thing that distinguishes perennials is that they tend to be active growers that have to be thinned out occasionally or they will loose vigor.
As perennials establish, it is important to prune them back and thin them out occasionally. This will prevent them from completely taking over an area to the exclusion of other plants, and also will increase air circulation thereby reducing the incidence of diseases like botrytis and powdery mildew.
Many species also flower abundantly and produce ample seed. As blooms fade it is advisable to deadhead your plant; that is, to remove spent flowers before they form seed. This will prevent your plants from seeding all over the garden and will conserve the considerable energy it takes the plant to produce seed.
As perennials mature, they may form a dense root mass that eventually leads to a less vigorous plant. It is advisable to occasionally thin out a stand of such perennials. By dividing the root system, you can make new plants to plant in another area of the garden or give away. Also root pruning will stimulate new growth and rejuvenate the plant. Most perennials may be successfully divided in either spring or fall. Do a little homework; some perennials do have a preference.
How-to : Planting Perennials
Determine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, water requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.
The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct sun until stable.
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water regularly until stable.
Diseases : Verticillium or Fusarium WiltWilts may be contracted through infected seed, plant debris, or soil. This fungus begins and multiplies during the cool, moist season, becoming obvious when weather turns warm and dry. Plants wilt because the fungus damages their water conducting mechanisms. Overfertilization can worsen this problem. Able to overwinter in soil for many years, it is also carried and harbored in common weeds.
Prevention and Control: If possible, select resistant varieties. Keep nitrogen-heavy fertilizers to a minimum as well as over-irrigating as they encourage lush growth. Practice crop rotation and prune out or better yet remove infected plants.
Pest : Aphids
Aphids are small, soft-bodied, slow-moving insects that suck fluids from plants. Aphids come in many colors, ranging from green to brown to black, and they may have wings. They attack a wide range of plant species causing stunting, deformed leaves and buds. They can transmit harmful plant viruses with their piercing/sucking mouthparts. Aphids, generally, are merely a nuisance, since it takes many of them to cause serious plant damage. However aphids do produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface growth called sooty mold.
Aphids can increase quickly in numbers and each female can produce up to 250 live nymphs in the course of a month without mating. Aphids often appear when the environment changes - spring & fall. They're often massed at the tips of branches feeding on succulent tissue. Aphids are attracted to the color yellow and will often hitchhike on yellow clothing.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds to an absolute minimum, especially around desirable plants. On edibles, wash off infected area of plant. Lady bugs and lacewings will feed on aphids in the garden. There are various products - organic and inorganic - that can be used to control aphids. Seek the recommendation of a professional and follow all label procedures to a tee.
Fungi : Leaf Spots
Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.
Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.
Pest : Slugs and Snails
Begin looking for slugs and snails so that you may set traps.
Glossary : Border PlantA border plant is one which looks especially nice when used next to other plants in a border. Borders are different from hedges in that they are not clipped. Borders are loose and billowy, often dotted with deciduous flowering shrubs. For best effect, mass smaller plants in groups of 3, 5, 7, or 9. Larger plants may stand alone, or if room permits, group several layers of plants for a dramatic impact. Borders are nice because they define property lines and can screen out bad views and offer seasonal color. Many gardeners use the border to add year round color and interest to the garden.
Glossary : Herbaceous
Herbaceous refers to a non-woody plant that dies back at the end of its growing season, generally after frost or during the fall of the year. The rootstock of perennials will overwinter, providing the plant is hardy in that area, and resume growth in the spring.
Glossary : Perennial
Perennial: traditionally a non-woody plant that lives for two or more growing seasons.
Glossary : Old Fashioned or Heritage Plant
Old Fashioned or Heritage Plant is any plant that is reminiscent of early times or tied to a particular region. Often found in the yards of grandmothers or abandoned home sites.

Philip Wood was born in Manchester in 1957, was educated at Southampton and trained in pottery at Farnham School of Art from 1976 to 1979. From 1982 he attended the Royal College of Art, and in 1989 set up his pottery in the village of Nunney, Somerset.
Philip's work is very distinctive and charming. He was first attracted to pottery because he loved stoneware and wanted to make it, but discovered over time that he was best suited to earthenware. He thinks it is because he is English, and earthenware is in his blood like instinct and inherited memory. He certainly uses the medium to stunning effect, giving to it his very personal and individual character.
His pots are basically like those made by traditional English country potteries such as Lake's or Verwood's - red clay body with interior and rim coated with cream slip. But Philip doesn't stop there; he applies finely detailed sprigs depicting animals, fish, birds, leaves and ornaments to the pots, together with a small amount of slip decoration, and then paints on a loose slip wash.
The colour in the wash settles into and around the detail in the sprigs producing a beautiful effect somewhat reminiscent of a cameo.
Philip press-moulds the sprigs and applies them to the leather hard pots using water and an artist's paint brush. It is his skill in placing the birds and animals that gives his pots their charm. Philip's warm and humorous nature and his relaxed attitude shine out in his finished pots.
He also works in other styles; slipware in the tradition of Fishley and Cardew, and some work with lustre glazes, but since 1989 he has concentrated on the sprig-decorated pots in this distinctive style interrupted only by giving occasional lectures.
