Gospel of Luke published in Siberian Chukchi language
A new edition in an ongoing series of translations of the Gospel of Luke into Northern Diglott languages has been released, this time in the Chukchi language. The series presents the Gospel in the languages of the indigenous peoples of Northern and Far Eastern Russia with a parallel text of the Russian Synodal translation of the Bible and an accompanying audio recording.
The format of the book is meant to help those who want to deepen their knowledge of Chukchi and those who want to learn the language from scratch, according to the Institute for Bible Translation (IBT), which is responsible for the ongoing series of translations.
Chukchi is a language spoken by the Chukchi people in the easternmost edge of Siberia, mainly in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. As of 2002, about 7,700 of the 15,700 Chukchi people speak Chukchi, and knowledge of the language is decreasing
The series was initiated by the appeals from ruling bishops of Petropavlovsk and Kamchatka, Khabarovsk, Anadyr and Chukotka dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church to the IBT. The Gospel was published in 2012 in Koryak and Nanai, in 2013 in Itelmen, and in 2014 in Evenk, and now in Chukchi.
The new Gospel translation features introductory remarks by Archbishop Matthew of Chukotka and Anadyr, which read: "This translation of the Gospel of Luke expands the possibility of perceiving the word of God for the Chukchi people who speak their native language, allowing them to understand it more deeply and expressively… Hopefully this edition will serve the task of enlightening the region with the light of Christ's truth and will be a good example and continuation of the glorious missionary works in the Chukotka land and will inspire their new followers."
The translation has already arrived in Chukotka and was presented on Sunday at an exhibition in the public library in honor of the Day of Orthodox Books. The first printing of the book (1,000 copies) will be distributed in churches, libraries, and schools on a charitable basis.
The IBT plans to continue Chuchki editions with the book of the Prophet Jonah.

Mild to moderate acne can be unsightly and debilitating to the self-esteem of adolescents and adults alike. Many people spend years experimenting with various skin care products and regimens in hopes of achieving a clear, acne-free complexion, but can't find a product that works. This is because most skin care products only treat existing breakouts as they occur. You will learn in this Revitol Acnezine Acne Treatment Review how it treats mild to moderate acne quickly and effectively by attacking the root of the problem.
Revitol Acnezine Acne Treatment Review Ingredients
While most products simply treat visible blemishes, Acnezine heals current breakouts and prevents breakouts that may be hiding underneath the skin, keeping skin looking clear, clean, healthy and oil-free. The Acnezine daily skin care routine consists of Acnezine Acne Moisturizing Creme, a powerful Benzoyl Peroxide agent that eliminates acne and treats the skin to prevent future breakouts, and the Acnezine Skin Antioxidant, a once-daily supplement designed to push out toxins and keep skin looking its best.

We all want to have clean, healthy-looking skin. Confidence in the way you look can make a huge difference in all areas of everyday life.
Revitol Acnezine Acne Treatment System
Despite years and thousands of dollars spent on topical gels and 3-step acne treatment systems that don't always deliver the results they promise. Thousands of people have tried Acnezine and found that it worked quickly and completely when no other product would. Instead of doing damage control on their visible acne, they're using Acnezine to heal their skin, eliminate their acne, and prevent their acne from coming back.
The results speak for themselves. Customers love Acnezine, saying, for example, "I am really impressed by this product. My skin already looks different and I have only been using it for a few weeks. This one is a keeper." Another customer on Amazon.com reported: "In 40 years of acne problems, no prescription drugs or any other nature pills would help. Now, after three months of using the Revitol Acnezine kit I'm 98% clear. I'm recommending this product 100%."
Clean, healthy looking skin is a personal and professional asset that everyone should have access to. A clear complexion can increase confidence, attractiveness and self-esteem, but a breakout can shatter that confidence and turn self-esteem into self-consciousness.
The fight against acne can be long and frustrating, and people who suffer from mild to moderate acne have a decision to make: either spend a considerable amount of time and money trying expensive prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs that only treat the visible symptoms of acne, or find a product that can get rid of visible acne and prevent future breakouts completely.
Acnezine Acne Treatment Review Conclusion
Revitol Acnezine Acne Treatment is guaranteed to work, and gives customers a great value for their investment. When you order a 3-month supply of Acnezine, Revitol will give you another 3-months free! For renewing confidence, building self-esteem and restoring a healthy, clean, attractive complexion that doesn't go away, I can't recommend Acnezine enough.

Jutta Arctic (Oeneis jutta) (Hübner, 1806)
Diagnosis: The upperside is a dark blackish brown. Both wings have a band of yellowish to orange spots, one to four (usually three) on the forewing, occasionally expanded into a band, and usually five on the hindwing. Most of the forewing spots and up to two of the hindwing spots contain black eye-spots. Males have a diffuse diagonal black sex patch in the centre of the forewing. On the underside there are usually two forewing and one hindwing eye-spots, smaller than above but usually with white pupils. The hindwing underside is lightly mottled with dark brown and grey, and the borders are checkered with dark brown and white. There is a darker medial band that varies from distinct to almost non-existent. Wingspan: 35 to 55 mm.
Subspecies: The nominate subspecies is European; there are eight weakly differentiated subspecies in North America, of which seven occur in Canada. Subspecies ascerta, from eastern Canada west to southeastern Manitoba, is described in the Diagnosis above; subspecies terraenovae, from Newfoundland, is large with a bright-yellow upperside band; subspecies ridingiana, from southwestern Manitoba and Saskatchewan, has the yellow forewing and hindwing bands more continuous and tending to diffuse into the darker ground colour basally; subspecies harperi, from northern Manitoba and eastern Northwest Territories, has larger black eye-spots; subspecies chermocki, from western Alberta and southern British Columbia, has slightly less yellow than typical ridingiana; subspeciesleussleri, from western Northwest Territories, is very dark with little yellow evident around the blackspots; subspecies alaskensis, in Yukon and Alaska, is similar to ascerta, but is smaller with more translucent wings.
Range: The range of jutta extends from eastern Fennoscandia to Siberia, and from Newfoundland and Labrador to British Columbia and north through western Northwest Territories and Yukon to Alaska. It reaches into the U.S. in northern New England, the northern Great Lakes states, and the Rocky Mountain states. It is absent from Prince Edward Island, southwestern Ontario, and the Pacific and arctic coasts.
Early Stages: The larvae are pale green with green and whitish lateral stripes and reddish hairs. Thehead is reddish brown or greenish, with six rows of brownish dots. They feed on sedges including Dense Cottongrass (Eriophorum spissum), Carex geyeri, and C. concinna. In captivity they eatgrasses, sedges, and Jointed Rush (Juncus articulatus), but seem to prefer sedges (Scott, 1986).
Abundance: This species is often locally common.
Similar Species: No other dark Oeneis has orange-bordered eye-spots.
Flight Season: Oeneis jutta flies from late May to mid June in eastern Ontario, from late June to late July at Churchill, and into August in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is biennial, flying in even years in southwest Manitoba and the west, and mainly in odd years from southeastern Manitoba eastward; at Churchill and in the Mer Bleue bog near Ottawa it flies every year.
Habits: Over most of its range jutta is found only in Black Spruce and Tamarack bogs and wet taiga and tundra, but in Alberta and British Columbia it flies in clearings and on trails in forests of Lodgepole Pine. In eastern bogs it prefers the edges of treed areas to the more open spaces; it is often seen perching on the tree trunks. When disturbed, it usually flies, very fast, either around the stand of trees or into it, almost never out into the open bog. If not too badly frightened, it will often return in a few minutes to the same perch. In Manitoba and eastern Ontario it has been observed feeding at the flowers of Labrador Tea (Ledum groenlandicum).

While procrastinating on working on my novel I was doing some research on writing. I happened upon Everything You Need to Know About Writing Successfully: in Ten Minutes by Stephen King http://oldsite.greatwriting.co.uk/content/view/312/74.
What a wonderful gem to happen upon. He couldn't be more right about not picking up a reference book or in my case heading to Google while working on a draft. Just write. Remove distractions so that you can continue with the flow of what you are working on. How many times I have been sidetracked by checking one quick fact before I moved on with my story only to either a) never get back to my writing that day or b) forget where I was going with something.
As with most gems I find valuable in life most of these points are merely common sense. It is always nice to have a reminder no matter where you are at with your writing career. I love it when something catches my attention and makes me think.
What do you think about Stephen King's article? I know it is old, do you think it still applies today. I wonder if he wrote that article today how it would differ with the internet, social networking and self publishing.

Black Dog Blog: Henry's First Beach Trip
An un-plugged weekend.
Before I go too far, I'm sending out a very loud "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to my brother Adam! The reason for our very short but so needed beach trip in March was to celebrate his birthday. Twenty-four years. Wow. He's truly someone to be proud of!
Along with this celebration was a first for our family. Henry's first beach trip. For those who follow this awesome pup, y'all know he is a true water dog. He'd rather be in the river than the kayak, lusts at the bathtub to get bathed & will pull anyone to a puddle just to step in it. The beach though, was something I wasn't sure he would grasp. The sand, the crashing of waves, the shells, the foam, etc. Well, it was a hit! Not to mention, we had pretty much the entire beach to ourselves so, he was free to do what he wanted with no restrictions or cautions. A weekend away from our "in the process" backyard was well worth the drive.
Friday, we headed down and he handled the car ride like a champ. The weather was sunny & chilly on Saturday but, this dog immediately knew where he was..... We started off waking up extremely too early (yes, the first 2 pictures were taken at 6:30a) before our morning walk and he was excite for something new. Needless to say, he enjoyed every minute of Saturday. So much that Sunday, we were recovering. From our morning walk, beach adventures and time change - Sunday was literally the day of rest. For our last day "off", we packed up early Monday morning and headed back home to Virginia. The news was calling for inclement weather so unfortunately, while we were rejuvenated, our short but sweet weekend was just that.
Short & sweet.
Happy Birthday Uncle Adam!

Before you pull on the tail of the tiger, make sure you have a plan about how to deal with its teeth and claws.
With the conviction of Paul Manafort on 8 of 18 charges, all unrelated to his time working on the Donald Trump Presidential campaign or Russian 'collusion', and guilty plea copped by attorney / 'fixer' Michael Cohen, many Democrats as well as NeverTrump and Establishment Republicans think that the die has been cast for a massive Democrat wave in the 2018 midterms and the fall of the Donald Trump Presidency.
The left, from politicians through to the media propagandists, are running talking points based on impeachment, that Donald Trump is little more than an unindicted co-conspirator in the crimes of Manafort and Cohen, and that not only is his entire Presidency illegitimate, but so are all of actions of that Presidency including the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court. Establishment Republicans like Oklahoma's Tom Cole are starting to wax philosophically of when the GOP turned on Richard Nixon – and the possibility of doing the same to Donald Trump based on the fraudulent Robert Mueller investigations.
One can see the entire anti-Donald Trump cabal just waiting for when the 'deplorables' admit their mistakes, abandon Donald Trump, and quietly accept their role as proles to be led by their elitist betters as the nation is transformed into a 'social justice nation'.
They still haven't gotten it.
Salena Zito, one of the few journalists in 2015 and 2016 who stepped outside the echo chamber and travelled through the key battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, does get it. She demonstrates this in a column published in the August 23, 2018 New York Post…
In the aftermath of Tuesday's news that both former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his lawyer Michael Cohen were found on the wrong side of the law in separate court cases, the question asked most frequently by the press, Democrats and "Never Trump" Republicans is, "Where do Trump voters go now?"
The answer is the same that it has always been since they first started asking it Nov. 9, 2016: With Trump.
This new conservative populist coalition is not the fluke the political class hoped it was. Donald Trump did not cause it, he is just the result of it, so no matter what he does, it continues. It is predicated on them, not him.
The coalition is a strike at not just tone deafness in both Congress and the White House but also high levels of incompetence, negligence and shoddy performance at agencies, as well as inept social services, a bloated and incompetent bureaucracy, endless wars and multinational agreements and treaties that don't benefit average people.
These voters knew who Trump was going in, they knew he was a thrice-married, Playmate-dating, Howard Stern regular who had the morals of an alley cat. They were willing to look past all of that because of how institutions had failed their communities for three consecutive presidencies.
Right now, the value of Trump to the Trump voter is he is all that stands between them and handing the keys to Washington back over to the people inside Washington. That's it. He's their only option. You've got to pick the insiders or him.
So, the question becomes: Can the Democrats pick someone who is Trump? Someone who just says, "I don't trust anybody in Washington either. They all suck. The Democrats sucks, the Republicans suck and Trump's a crook."
If they could pick a Trump for their side, then Trump could have a problem. But as it stands we only really only have two parties; the party of the governing elite and the party of Trump.
That is why they stick with him.
What's also being missed is that the Trump voters haven't just turned their backs on the Democrats, but in growing numbers, they are turning their backs on the establishment Republicans. They are doing this because to the average American sees that the establishment Republican Party is a party based on saying one thing in order to get elected and then not only do they not honor their campaign promises, but they are more concerned with being liked by their fellow elites than representing the people who elected them.
These Republicans think they won in 2016, not Donald Trump. That their agenda of progressivism-lite won as opposed to the key planks of the Donald Trump agenda: Immigration-Build the Wall, Drain the Swamp, Fiscal Responsibility, and Rebuild the Judiciary. The only plan of the Trump agenda they've fully embraced is the last one – but they defiantly expect that to be good enough as they tell us 'the rest is really hard to do' when they really mean 'we don't want to do any of that'.
Former Assistant US Attorney and columnist, Andrew C. McCarthy, saw this in Oct 2016, when he wrote an essay for PJ Media titled, 'The Problem is Not the Presidential Candidates'.
To illustrate the emptiness by apologists for the Republican Congress, one need only ask what would happen if the roles were reversed. What if a Republican President tried to rein in entitlement spending? What if he unilaterally announced that, in an exercise of 'prosecutorial discretion', tax evasion laws would not be enforced to collect corporate taxes above 10% of income. What if his IRS targeted progressive activists and his Justice Department stonewalled congressional investigations- including one involving a case in which an inane law-enforcement tactic (e.g. gun-walking) got a federal agent killed?
We needn't tarry long on this. A Democratic Congress would throw down the gauntlet and risk a government shutdown in order to force the President to back down. A Democratic Congress would not hesitate to impeach the IRS Commissioner and Attorney General; and it would relish impeaching the President himself – calculating that even if the Democrats lost, they would the President battered and impotent.
In 2014, American voters elected a Republican majority to lead Congress. This majority we elected was the largest Republican majority since the 1920's. It was elected in 2014 with one purpose – to say 'NO' to the Obama fundamental transformation agenda.
What happened? Not a whole lot of 'NO' was spoken. Fiscal responsibility wasn't restored. Planned Parenthood wasn't defunded. The Iran nuclear deal wasn't blocked. Obamacare wasn't defunded. IRS abuses weren't punished. There were no prices to be paid for the deaths of the US Ambassador to Libya and three others – or the lies brazenly told to hide the Administration's craven actions. Nothing was done beyond kabuki theater, surrender, and excuses.
Andrew C. McCarthy also noted in his Oct. 17, 2016 piece:
"Democrats do not tell their supporters, 'The President has veto power and Republican's have the numbers to block us, so don't expect us to accomplish anything.'"
Yet, that was exactly what the Establishment Republicans said to us – and they also said that if we, the voter, not only returned them to the Majority, and put a Republican in the White House, then they would be able to achieve all those broken promises.
What has the McConnell / Ryan Republican Congress really done? Neil Gorsuch was confirmed to the US Supreme Court to replace the late Antonin Scalia. Brett Kavanaugh looks as if he will be confirmed to replace the recently retired Anthony Kennedy. The Senate has pushed through a record number of other judicial confirmations (even as a record number remain to be acted upon). But beyond that, what has been done towards the Donald Trump agenda?
Speaker Paul Ryan several weeks ago, openly boasted of not fulfilling the Donald Trump campaign agenda as he touted the Establishment Republican 'Better Way' agenda. That the legislative achievements of this GOP majority Congress were based on HIS agenda, not the one which got Donald Trump elected against all odds.
The 115th Congress, led by a GOP majority, hasn't embraced fiscal responsibility. It didn't repeal Obamacare. It hasn't defunded Planned Parenthood. We still don't have a 'regular budget process'. It's held hearings on abuses of the Obama Administration, but hasn't taken one step of real action against any of those who committed those abuses. Not one referral to the US Attorney for DC. Not one arrest for perjury or contempt of Congress. Not one impeachment. What the 115th Congress chose to fight was the Republican in the White House – and they have fought him harder than they ever fought the 44th President, Barack Obama.
Instead, the Republican leaders of the 115th Congress told us that they couldn't do what they promised because they didn't have enough votes in the Senate. That the Senate rules wouldn't allow them to act via a simple majority – except for the confirmation of Judges, because that was what the former Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid once did. That they couldn't do more because the Democrats could and would obstruct the agenda. Yet, it was a Republican who was the deciding vote to block the repeal of Obamacare. It was Republicans that forced the President to choose between the biggest federal spending bill ever or a government shutdown.
Yet, these establishment Republicans want to be rewarded and returned to the majority this November. They promise us, again, that with more numbers things will be different. That they'll fight the Democrats, this time. That they really are different than the Democrats, and if we don't elect them to the majority a disaster will happen.
Through all of this, I think many of us are hearing only one thing – let's keep the status quo as it is because it's good for us. We know that it's not that great for you – but tough. We're more important because we're the elite.
They're framing this as a battle between the party of the 'deplorables' and the party of the governing elite. We're not. We're just reacting to their perfidy, avarice, and hubris. They think they can pull on the tiger's tail and the teeth / claws will not react.
If anyone needs to learn a lesson, it's them. They still don't get it. They still haven't listened or learned. They only hear what they want to hear – just as they see only what they want to see.

Room Rate Dispute Drives Large-Scale Healthcare Conference from Chicago
Big news from Chicago today: One of the largest trade shows at McCormick Place is canceling plans to hold its 2019 meeting in the Windy City in a reported dispute over hotel room rates.
According to Crain's, the Chicago-based Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society show, which had committed to holding its annual conference and exhibition in the city in 2015 and again in 2019, has notified Chicago tourism officials that it will break its deal for 2019 and move the convention to Orlando.
According to the show website, HIMSS15 is set to bring more than 38,000 healthcare IT professionals from around the world to Chicago for a week-long program of education and networking. The show reportedly threatened to set up shop elsewhere in 2009, citing McCormick Place's high costs as a factor in the decision. Two years later, executives announced a 2015 return following labor changes.
RELATED: Cvent Announces Top 50 U.S. Cities for Events; Chicago Claims Top Spot
But costs seem to have once again encouraged those executives to opt for another city for the 2019 event. As Crain's reports, the main cause for concern is a room rate clause that an even larger conference, the annual Radiological Society of North America show, includes in its hotel contracts. The clause reportedly stipulates that hotel operators hosting RSNA attendees must guarantee a lower room rate than any other conference in Chicago between April and November that books 10,000 room nights or more. The provision, which the article says is similar to a "most favored nation" clause used in other industries, would prevent hotel operators from charging lower rates to other conventions.
Read more here and sound off below: Have room rates or room policies caused you to choose one city over another for a large-scale show?

It is sad when one hears stories about consumers not knowing how to deal with their debt:
"Baby, I am so sorry. I owe many people some money and I don't have that kind of cash to pay them." Those are among the final words written by a 22-year-old women from the Diepsloot area. Her name, ironically, was Happiness Mbedzi. Shortly after writing these words she ended her own life. In the suicide note Mbedzi left behind for her partner, Ephraim Mudau, she went so far as to list all the people she owed funds to, alongside the amount of money she owed them. Her debts added up to only R3,320.
During the week she borrowed money to go to a local store in Diepsloot to buy rat poison. A couple passing by found her body later that same day, laying face down in the township's extension 13. A suicide note was found next to her body, together with the phone number for her relative. One of her relatives said the day before she died people had come looking for Happiness to try collect some of the money she owed.
One journalist stated that in the area where Happiness lived "Debt is a big problem because we have such a huge unemployment rate,…In most cases, you will find young women selling their bodies to be prostitutes, while the young men resort to criminal activities," …There is nowhere people can turn to for help if they are indebted,".
Like so many others Happiness had turned to borrowing money to make ends meet. There has been a recent unsecured lending boom in South Africa. Rajeen Devpruth, manager of statistics at the National Credit Regulator (NCR) said that " the global housing market is dead, so credit providers are looking to other markets to make their money." They are now heavily promoting unsecured credit loans.
Another industry expert points to a sad truth " what consumers aren't usually aware of is that a significant amount of money goes into the cost of the loan. Unfortunately consumers mostly look at the cost of the installment or repayment, and not the entire cost of credit and generally don't shop around for credit …people who borrow money at this rate don't understand that this cost of borrowing isn't sustainable,"…
In Diepsloot, around 2 out of every 3 young people are unemployed. Some say that this makes a small unsecured loan at a local bank look like a good idea for residents who just want to make ends meet. But steep interest rates make it virtually impossible for many of these consumers to ever pay the loan back. Meaning these loans are actually recklessly granted. Proving this allegation however could cost several thousand rand at court. Something that these consumers cannot afford too try prove even if they wanted to. Desperate consumers often under estimate their living costs and some credit providers might turn a blind eye to inconsistencies in loan applications. Other options these consumers may have is to borrow funds from a stokvel or perhaps a neighbour, but these too come with equally high interest rates.
Sadly many consumers like Happiness don't know where or how to get help. "If I had told u the truth, u were going to be angry with me-so I decided to kill myself," Happiness wrote in her suicide note before saying she didn't know of anyone who could help her with her debt problem.
What a tragedy that Happiness was unable to go for debt counselling since the NCR have recently engaged in educational drives about debt review in the area.
Is Debt Review available to all?
Even if she had gone looking for help, a sad truth is that she may have struggled to find a Debt Counsellor to help her. After all there are still very few of these professionals in South Africa. Perhaps around only 500 practice in South Africa at the moment. Many Debt Counsellors have quite the industry due to pressure from credit providers against the industry as well as the stress of the heavy work load. Another factor is that at the moment the revenue/fee structure for debt counselling make consumers like Happiness unprofitable and thus undesirable to some Debt Counsellors. Then too with some unscrupulous credit providers pressurizing consumers even after they have entered debt review (instead of acting in good faith in the process) consumers might still be pushed to extremes.
If you face debt stress seek help at once. Don't hide your debt and the stress it is causing you. Tell someone. They say a problem shared is a problem halved. Debt Review can help consumers to settle their debts over time and Debt Counsellors can help consumers create better household budgets.
Visit sites like www.thedci.co.za or read the service directory in Debtfree DIGI each month. You can access the directory by reading the magazine for FREE right here on our site. Most Debt Counsellors do not even charge the NCA allowed fee of R50 to make an appointment. Get help today!

Swim Week Roundup 2016 + OOTD
Hi everyone! This is looonnnnnng overdue, but better late than never, right?! 😅 This year, my beloved Squad and I decided to take advantage of Swim Week and see what we could get out of it. Turns out, there were so many free events, and I couldn't wait to share them with you all! I also was able to take some pics of my outfit from Day 2. Read on to find out how we maximized our experience at Miami Swim Week 2016!
Planning what we were gonna do was hilarious because of how stressful it was. There was an overwhelming amount of free events we could attend, and planning was almost as stressful as studying for finals, LOL. ANYWAY...Day 1 was so much fun. Natasha Oakley and Devin Brugman were having a pop-up shop for their bikini line Monday Swimwear , and their active wear Monday Active at Soho Beach House in South Beach. Squadded up, Yash, Belle, Guti, and I walked into the penthouse and instantly started feeling the humidity and started sweating LOL. The room was filled with Frank Body products (which were apparently FREE AF), rosé (oh hell yeah), and TASH AND DEV WERE THERE THEMSELVES! (I'm seriously re-living all of this as I type this blog post and I'm hyped af) Seeing someone you admire so much on Instagram (aesthetic AF) is so surreal. Tash and Dev are just as gorgeous as they are on their Instagram, and literally glow, it's insane. (Why can't the Miami humidity do that for me? Instead of giving me that glow, my face just mass-produces oil *rolls eyes*) We snagged some Frank Bod goodies, checked out the line, and then headed down to the rooftop pool for the PitUsa party we saw going on (spotted Shea Marie of peaceloveshea.com there!) The party had a braid bar, groovy deep house tunes, and the most amazing view to the sunset that evening.
After such a fun night the day before, my friends and I were so stoked for what we had planned today. Shay was nice enough to invite me with her to have brunch with Tash and Dev at the same penthouse we went to on Day 1! We grabbed more Frank Bod products, ate a fat brunch (eggs, avocado, and fruit), drank some rosé, and enjoyed the view! Oh, I also splurged on my very first bikini from Monday Swimwear! Natasha and Devin were so nice, they helped me pick out which bikini worked for my small bust and pancake ass (hehe), and, honestly, it was a really awesome experience! Post-brunch Shay and I took some outfit photos (below) and then I had to rush to meet Belle and "Jeannes the Queannes" at a pool party at the Nautilus Hotel! I was such a mess, lol, I did a quick and ratchet outfit change in the bathroom, and managed to get a quick charge for my phone in the bathroom while I was changing. The best thing about Swim Week is all the goodies they give out, and at this pool party there were Stila products and Rosé pops for FREE! I'm not gonna lie, some of these events are super nice/cute, but it's kind of a bummer because nobody dances when music plays, and everyone comes off as standoff-ish! So, we quickly left after that, but the freebies made up for the bougie vibe. Post-pool party, we decided to make a pit stop at the 1 hotel which we've all been dying to go to, and it did not disappoint. The SMELL of that place is freaking incredible, let alone the interior design, and we also spotted Brody Jenner!
Day 3
Day 3 was definitely more chill, and I splurged (yet, again) on another bikini. Nishita, Belle, and I started our morning off with Yoga at the 1 hotel on their rooftop pool-deck. We were tight on time, and as we were walking to the bathrooms for an outfit change, we made the ultimate "spotting" and saw the gorgeous Rocky Barnes eating lunch by the pool on the rooftop. We rushed to another event at Soho Beach House and MISSED IT, so we went back to the 1 to have lunch on the rooftop, and Dr. Smood was serving a special drink that came in a Swell bottle, and we scored a free class to Soul Cycle (F**K YEAH)! We then went to the Setai for a little event they were having. There, I spotted Ola Feroz Swimwear, and HADDDD to get a bikini 😭😭. Kidding, obviously I didn't, but dzang, ya girl can be impulsive AF! We also stopped at the W for a Bikini Beer Garden event they were having, but showed up too late and missed that one too (Miamians and our punctuality, amirite?)
I hope my lengthy roundup of 2016's Swim Week wasn't too boring for you guys!

Binge Drinking Affects Male And Female Brains Differently
In a study with mice, researchers found repeated binge drinking produced different responses in the brains of males versus females. Of more than a hundred genes regulated by binge drinking, only 14 were regulated in both sexes.
The findings are said to have implications for the treatment of alcohol use disorder, estimated to affect 16 million people in the United States.
The study titled "Binge Ethanol Drinking Produces Sexually Divergent and Distinct Changes in Nucleus Accumbens Signaling Cascades and Pathways in Adult C57BL/6J Mice" was published in Frontiers in Genetics on Sept. 10.
"We show that repeated binge drinking significantly alters molecular pathways in the nucleus accumbens, a region of the brain linked to addiction," explained Deborah Finn, a professor of behavioral neuroscience at Oregon Health & Science University.
She and her research team decided to examine how repeated binge drinking affected the brains of mice and if there were differences between male and female mice. They looked at the genes that were activated in the nucleus accumbens, specifically 384 genes which were previously identified as important in addiction and mood disorders.
"Of a total of 106 genes regulated by binge drinking, only 14 were regulated in both males and females, representing common targets to binge drinking. Interestingly, only 4 of these 14 genes were regulated in the same direction and the top 30 genes regulated by binge drinking in each sex differed markedly," Finn revealed.
As per the findings, genes associated with hormone signaling and immune system function were affected by repeated binge drinking in the female brains. Meanwhile, genes associated with nerve signaling were found to be a "central target" in the male brains.
Earlier this year, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed nearly 20 percent of adults in the U.S. participate in binge drinking. If left uncontrolled over a long period, the practice can be considered an early warning sign for alcohol dependence. Binge drinking can eventually lead to a high tolerance for alcohol, which also brings complications.
The new findings may be worth considering when providing treatment to someone diagnosed with alcohol use disorder, the authors say. Therapies and interventions have the potential to be more effective if they were tailored based on whether the patient is male or female.
"We have shown that pharmacologically manipulating a pathway in both sexes that only was affected by binge drinking in males did not decrease binge drinking in females; binge drinking was only decreased in males," Finn said.
"A consideration of sex is critical in the development of potential pharmacological therapies for the treatment of alcohol use disorder," she added.
In further studies, the research team hoped to explore and determine if these gene expression changes also correspond to behavioral and/or physiological differences.

Hougaard Wembley drop-goal tops fans poll
Derick Hougaard's match-winning drop goal against South Africa in 2009 has been voted fans most popular Saracens North vs South moment in an online poll.
On the eve of another blockbuster clash between Saracens and South African opposition, Hougaard's 73rd minute drop-goal at Wembley Stadium was selected as Sarries supporters most cherished moment of games between the north Londoner's and South African opposition.
The metronomic fly-half's famous three pointer against the Springboks was chosen ahead of Ernst Joubert's charge-down try in the same game, Charlie Hodgson's interception score against The Sharks at a packed Allianz Park in January 2014 and Mouritz Botha's memorable try against Western Province earlier this season.
"Everyone in South Africa saw that night what an up and coming club Saracens are," said Hougaard. "It was a special night at a special ground like Wembley. The whole of South Africa sat up and took notice of Sarries and lots of people in South Africa text me when Sarries are on TV. They have lots of supporters there."

text: November 18, 2015 | WEBBIZ The world of men is careening into greater and greater chaos. Blood thirsty slaughter of civilians by Islamists. The wholesale holocaust of babies through abortion. The growing power of secular governments and media juggernauts who use propaganda and advertising to manipulate opinion and control the masses. The edicts of judges that overturn the age old understanding of marriage. The hollowing out of families through misguided social welfare programs. The escalating grievance movement by women and various races. The fall of borders. The outsourcing of jobs which further destroys traditional families. The mainstreaming of sexual perversion into every nook and cranny of men's minds. The catalog of modern chaos is long. At the core of all modern chaos is the embrace of the kingdoms of the world and the rejection of the kingdom of God. Men, wishing to be free to do as they please, have sought freedom through the modern world, not realizing they have rejected the Divine Kingdom and settled for kingdoms of men. Rejecting the Divine Monarchy, they have settled for a plethora of mini-monarchies of men; politicians, political parties and political dynasties, judges, corporate titans, professors, activists and celebrities. As events are showing, the new monarchies are run by tyrants who rule with a growing absolutism using the deceitful mantras of change, equality, fairness and progress. As chaos escalates in the world, there is only one sure power, the mighty power of Christ the King. It is time that Catholic men become acquainted with their True King. Modern Man's Aversion to Kings and Kingdoms The word "monarchy" comes from the Latin, monarchia, meaning, "absolute rule, the ruling of one." Monarchies, a form of human government, are ruled by a king (or queen) and have been around since early human history. Much of Western civilization has its roots in monarchies. Today, while about 20% of countries in the world

- Complete Response (CR): This means all detectable tumor has disappeared. If you have advanced cancer a CR is also the best result you can actually see from treatment. To find out, you have to research your cancer and the treatment in question. (E.g., my dad's brain tumour was surgically removed, but they could not remove all of it, since it was too close to brain cells. It cam back in 5 years, but this was a CR.
- NED means "No Evidence of Disease". A patient who has had a complete response may be said to be "NED".
- Partial Response (PR): This would be at least a 50% decrease in the total tumor volume but with evidence of some residual disease still remaining. Partial responses aren't usually cures and aren't usually a long term benefit.
- Minor Response (MR): "Minor response" roughly means a small amount of shrinkage. Minor response is not really a standard term but is increasingly used. Roughly speaking, a minor response is more than 25% of total tumor volume but less than the 50% that would make it a PR.
- Progressive Disease (PD): The appearance of new tumors is always progressive disease, no matter the response of other tumors. Progressive disease normally means the treatment has failed and in most cases is the signal that it's time to try something else (or stop treatment altogether if no good options remain).

An Interview with Judge Paul Grimm, Chief United States Magistrate Judge, 1 of 3/
Judge Grimm has been a pretty vocal supporter of new technology trends that help shift the focus from spending extensive amounts of time and money reviewing documents to using tools to make the process more efficient. This ultimately allows legal teams to focus more on the actual heart of the matter, rather than on document review. I'm greatly looking forward to reading installments 2 and 3 of this series. Some excerpts are below, but you can find the full article here. "Judge Paul Grimm, Chief United States Magistrate Judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, is a thought leader and at the forefront of knowledge in the field of electronic discovery. Judge Grimm has authored multiple case opinions that have become the basis for rule changes to the rules of civil procedure. He continues to be an expert in the field and he graciously took some time to talk to Discovery Brain about his knowledge and experience."
"...I looked into some of the issues associated with a fundamentally important area in the modern practice of civil litigation which is that discovery must be approached on a cooperative basis. That doesn't mean that you give up meritorious argument or not have disputes, but it just means you argue over the things that are important. You cooperate on the things that are mutually beneficial to your clients. For example, look at keyword searching. If I give you just a list of keywords and tell you to go search them and you don't have any input on that, then what's likely to happen is you're going to run a search that will have poor recall and precision rates that won't produce helpful information, which will lead to disputes and further expenses. It's much better that we cooperatively design a search methodology. It lowers costs, gets the materials produced faster and avoids motions where people run out of money. The need to cooperate is inherent in the rules of civil litigation. Those that advocate a confrontational approach to discovery for the sake of confrontation really do not understand what's involved in the adversary system. That was emphasized in Mancia v. Mayflower Textile Services Co. decision. Thereafter my most recent discussed decision was the Victor Stanley, Inc. v. Creative Pipe Inc. case dealing with the duty to preserve."
"Part of the entire evolution, I have become interested in the fact that in 2009 a series of attorney questionnaires from a variety of sources said federal litigation is too expensive and that in turn has led to my concern with how we can manage litigation so that it is proportional to what's at issue in a case. This means you get the right amount of discovery so that the parties have fair discovery and nothing is hidden or lost, but you don't waste money. In no system does it make sense that you spend $5M to resolve a case that's worth $1M. With the volume of digital evidence out there and the number of people who have the same evidence in different locations, parties spend enormous amounts of money trying to figure out what you have before they can then even talk about settlement or trial. So the real challenge for the profession and for the courts is to make it so that we don't become so expensive that people can't afford to come here."

If you have a web based email account, chance is that you either use Yahoo Mail, Google Mail or Microsoft Hotmail for that account. There are hundreds of smaller email providers, but those are the big three. Microsoft recently announced new features and improvements for their Hotmail email service on the Inside Windows Live blog.
One of the biggest changes in this new version of Hotmail are additional mouse and keyboard shortcuts. A new menu has been created that appears when a user right-clicks on a message in the inbox. The menu offers a direct link to reply, reply all or forward the selected message. This is in addition to previously supported right-click actions such as delete, move or mark as junk.
Users who like to use keyboard shortcuts whenever possible have now access to a whole new set of shortcuts, taken directly from Microsoft's desktop messaging client Outlook, as well as the online email services Gmail and Yahoo Mail.
Users of Outlook, and those who switched from Gmail or Yahoo Mail to Hotmail can now use keyboard shortcuts that they are already familiar with. Popular ones include:
Gmail, Yahoo Mail
All keyboard shortcuts work at the same time, which means that you can either press the delete key or # to delete a message, or Ctrl-n, c or n to create a new message.
You find all supported keyboard shortcuts here.
Hotmail users can now customize their email messages by setting a default font and personal signature for all email messages. Here is a video that demonstrates the new features.
What's your take on the new Hotmail features? I really like the new keyboard shortcuts as they tend to speed things up considerably.Advertisement

Net Worth Update #1 – April 2018
This is the first time I'm sharing my net worth online.
Related: Net Worth Update #2 - May 2018
I got the idea to share my net worth from J. Money. It's motivational to see the progress he's made over the past 10 years and hopefully, I can provide some motivation for others as well. The layout for my net worth update is heavily inspired by Zach's net worth update over at Four Pillar Freedom.
I'll be sharing monthly updates from here on out.
Here are my numbers for April 2018:
|Cash Reserves
|Savings Account
|$5,933.37 (+$1,898.88)
|Checking Account
|$28.21 (-$868.75)
|Total Cash Reserves
|$5,961.58 (+$1,030.13)
|Non-Tax Advantaged Accounts
|Vanguard VTSAX
|$19,342.53 (+$2,396.08)
|Total Non-Tax Advantaged
|$19,342.53 (+$2,396.08)
|Tax Advantaged Accounts
|$18,330.71 (+$1,358.59)
|Total Tax Advantaged
|$18,330.71 (+$1,358.59)
|Net Worth
|$43,634.82 (+$4,784.80)
Here's a look at my net worth progression since I started tracking it back in December of 2017:
My Investment Strategy
My "investment strategy" is dead simple.
Every month money goes straight from my paycheck into my 401(k) (the idea here is to reach the annual contribution limit of $18,500) and during the first week of the month I invest a lump sum into VTSAX (usually around $3,000 - I have yet to automate this, though I will at some point).
The rest of the money has been going into my savings and checking accounts, though I'm now reaching a point where I'm comfortable with my "liquid" reserves, so I'll soon start increasing my monthly investment in VTSAX and leaving just enough in my savings and checking accounts to cover my monthly expenses.
My 401(k) is managed by Vanguard and it uses the Target Retirement 2060 Trust Select fund. This fund has a 90/10 stock to bond allocation.
Since my investments are basically split in half between my 401(k) and VTSAX ($18,330.71 and $19,342.53), that leaves me with a 95/5 stock to bond allocation (VTSAX is purely stocks). I'm young and got plenty of working years ahead of me, so I'm looking to be as aggressive as possible.
Here's my complete asset allocation breakdown:
From March to April my net worth increased by $4,784.80.
This was the lowest month-over-month net worth increase ever for me and it was mainly due to one reason:
1. The stock market dipped. From March 20th (I track my net worth around the 20th of every month) to April 20th, VTSAX decreased from $68.17 a share to $66.92, for a 1.83% loss.
Most of my invested money is in VTSAX (I invest in it directly and 53% of my 401(k) is also in VTSAX) so I took a small hit.
I'm in this for the long run, though, and in the long run the market always goes up!
Where Did My Money Go?
This month I invested $3,000 in VTSAX, a lump sum buy on March 27th for $66.48 per share. I also invested $1,716 into my 401(k). The rest of my income went into my savings and checking accounts.
Where I'm Headed
A fairly high percentage of my net worth is tied up in my savings and checking accounts as I build a little safety net.
The plan is to stockpile a rainy day fund of $15,000 (about a year's worth of living expenses) and to then switch into full-on, pedal to the metal investing mode, basically putting all of my income minus monthly expenses into my 401(k) and VTSAX.

Who are we? What do we stand for? What do we value as a group? This meeting we'll start finalizing our Mission, Vision, and Values statements. All successful movements, ventures, and organizations use this model to bring their members together around a common cause, and also attract those who respect the same cause. Right now, the group is working around the pillars of RESILIENCE, MIXED-INCOME, INTERGENERATIONAL, SUSTAINABLE, and WELCOMING. What kind of values do you want to see your community come together around?
After that, we'll bust out the "Git R Done" Checklist. What does it take to physically and socially build a community? How we gonna git r done???
Here, we'll be covering the pre-develoment effort that needs to be put forth by the community members. We'll go over your time and/or talent availabilities and start plugging willing and able members into pre-development jobs, such as Media & Advertising, Budgeting and Finances, New Member Oriention, etc. This project is being 100% self-developed (as many cohousing communities are), so everything you do is going directly towards your future community.
**Child Care** We have fun, but we understand grown-up meetings can be boring for the littles. For $8 each, kids ages 3-10 can go right above our meeting space to Waxhaw Kid Coders, where they can try out the coolest new tech gadgets and games for kids! Ken and Cheryl's tech magic will keep them totally enthralled for a whole 90 minutes, they did last time!
3-3:30 Sign-in, name tag. Refreshments & pick-me-ups from Sospeso Coffee & Waxhaw Kettle Corn Co. Get kids squared away upstairs
3:30-3:45 Introductions (we're expecting new members)

6 Stück auf Lager
This book is so cool I can hardly stand it. Anna Maltz has come up with a truly original way to think about knitting — a process combining marls (the result of holding two yarns together) with Fair Isle-style stranding (dropping one yarn strategically and carrying it briefly as a float), which she calls "marlisle." Her new book, Marlisle: A new direction in knitting, takes this idea and applies it in completely different ways to 11 patterns that are equal parts fun and wearable.
Auszug aus dem Buch:Somewhere within the tightly bound belief that everything has been done before, a little finger hole of wiggle room can be found to tease out a loose end and twist a different tale.Marlisle is a simple, yet novel approach to stranded knitting, where two colours magically become three by using yarn held double.Anna Maltz has designed 11 contemporary and wearable circular knits to introduce this technique to adventurous knitters of all levels. Spanning fingerless mitts, mittens, cowls, hats, a scarf, shawl, cardigan and sweaters, these cosy projects deftly show how Marlisle can be used to combine different weight yarns, create scattered motifs and mask jogs in unexpected ways. The results are strikingly graphic, textured, inspiring and intriguing.A design origin story and yarn pairing notes sets the scene for each pattern. All the projects are knitted in a combination of a natural, sheepy shade and a hand-dyed yarn from 22 different, passionate small-producers from around the world.Marlisle: A New Direction in Knitting is a beautiful, 160 page, full-colour, litho-printed book packed with photographs, schematics, knowledge, anecdotes and opinion to get you started on your Marlisle adventure. Whether you are accomplished or just starting to gain confidence, this book embraces the joy that, in knitting, there is always something new to learn and try – and it can be surprisingly simple! Marlisle lets you reevaluate rules, your yarn and what you thought were the limits of knitting.
I don't know when I've been this excited about a book of knitting patterns! AND it comes with a download code so you can get them digitally as well.
- 158 uncoated pages - perfect-bound, softcover book, includes download code for ebook - 8.5" x 10.5" - professionally edited patterns - made in the UK

The headline sounds a bit toad of Toad Hall ( Wind in the Willows ) but that sort of sums up my past few days. We have been lucky enough down in the south of England to have had good weather the past week or so, yes good weather you heard me right. The sun has shone and that has meant that outside beckons. It has been a mixture of chores and pleasure that have captured my attention, mostly chores sadly but when the sun is shining everything is more enjoyable. I have been doing a bit of house maintenance and a bit of gardening both at home and at our community garden. It's always a busy time this part of the year and especially so this year as we have been trying to catch up after the awful Spring weather. I'm in charge of the onion family, so that's: leeks, garlic, onions, shallots chives as well as chard, spinach and various other odds and sods, pardon the pun.
This is only my second growing season so I'm still learning. I'm determined to do all I can to get a good crop of leeks this year which means I've sown a lot of seed which will means they will all need transplanting when they're big enough. My own garden is quite mature now which presents another set of challenges as everything needs taking hold of to keep it under control. I've also had quite a bit of die back on some shrubs so that has had to be tackled.
This week though I had a break and was lucky enough to spend a delightful day with my friend Gill http://paisleypedlar.wordpress.com at the Guildford Flower Festival see photos to check out the superb flower arrangements. These inspired me with some ideas for a batik or two. I haven't done any art work for such a time I am quite missing it and am determined to make a space to do some very soon. Meanwhile I have enjoyed taking the photos.
All these activities inevitably have meant I've spent a lot less time at the computer and thinking about marketing, hooray! However I have been blogging on the Cyprus News Report site which seem to be getting a few reads hopefully this will lead to sales eventually. Also today, Sunday, the long awaited result of my Cyprus Mail interview is out today in Cyprus, I can't wait to see it.
The break should see me back in the groove and refreshed!

Who's it for? Perfect for young guns looking to take their paddling up a notch
If you're a junior racer looking for a high-performance inflatable SUP that'll help you mix it in race conditions, we recommend the 10'6" Max Race, which is built for speed and close competition.
Our patented RSS system means the board is super-stiff, while its narrow nose and tail make it good for speed and agility, and its removable fin and double nose runner fins help it slice through the water. Once you've crossed the finish line, just pack it away, throw it on your back, and head for the next race.
Multiple carry handles on the board allow for quick entry and exit of the water for technical racing, while the Red embossed decked with diamond cut tail section offers ultimate grip whilst paddling and manoeuvres.
Our patented RSS, or Rocker Stiffening System, makes our boards up to 40 per cent stiffer by displacing the riders weight over a greater length of the board. It works by slotting two stiffening battens into pockets that are individually laminated on to the side of the board. The battens are attached to cords held down with velcro tabs, making them really easy to remove.
MSL fusion composite and airtight coating, MSL involves fusing a second layer of hard-wearing polymer to the dropstitch core at the raw material stage, removing hand gluing errors. The high-tech industrial process saves almost 2kg in weight whilst making the boards stiffer at lower pressures. With our third generation of MSL material now in use, our boards are more durable than ever.
When you unpack your Red Paddle Co board for the first time, inside you'll find the lightweight Titan pump. It's the world's best SUP pump and was created by our expert engineers to make inflating your board a cinch. The secret is in the dual-chamber system and high-flow handle, which pumps air into your board at up to 60mph, ensuring it inflates to the recommended pressure level while using less of your energy.
Our Red Original Backpack is a perfect travel partner for paddleboarders everywhere, with internal storage for travel paddles, multiple carry handles, integrated wheels and sherpa back pack system which can stored for transport and storage.
Included in package:
- Red Paddle Co 10'6" I 24″ Max Race 2018
- Red Paddle Co Backpack
- Titan Pump
- Repair Kit
- US Fin box system with carbon fin
- Free water resistant phone case
- RSS Battens

The mission of the Na Koa Wounded Warrior events is to honor and support our wounded and their families, and the families of our fallen.
Launched in 2009, Malama Na Koa organized the regatta to assist recovering troops through the 'healing power' of the Hawaiian waters. The first event took place at the Pearl Harbor Marina with 67 teams from the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard and other organizations. The Hawaii Chapter of the Association of the United States Army has hosted the event since 2014. The Na Koa Wounded Warrior Canoe Regatta has since expanded to include Gold Star families in the Wounded Warrior & Family Division, a Youth Honor Heat, two VIP Exhibition Heats, and a Gold Star Medallion Presentation. The event has grown to include nearly 500 paddlers, 175 volunteers, and roughly 300-400 spectators.
We have also added two events during the week prior to the Regatta: a Health & Wellness Symposium on Wednesday and a Na Koa Wounded Warrior Reception on Thursday evening.
Our Na Koa Wounded Warrior Grand Marshals have included:
2014: Colonel (Retired) Gregory Gadson
2015: Staff Sergeant (Retired) Thomas Lee
2016: Sergeant First Class (Retired) Sualauvi Tuimalealiifano
2017: The Nisei Warriors of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, represented by Mr. Yoshiaki Tanaka

2017/2018 Natural Fiber Directory: Find Natural Fibers for Spinning
When the online shopping revolution got rolling 20 years ago, people like me feared that local artisans would be swallowed up by online retail giants. We may never go back to the pre-Amazon days, but internet shopping has made buying from local businesses more sepcial—especially when it comes to finding natural fibers for spinning.
Thanks to sponsor Halcyon Yarn, you can now download the annual Spin Off Natural Fiber Directory and find farms, stores, festivals, and plenty of opportunities to enrich your spinning experience. For Halcyon, which Halcyon Blake founded in 1971, a web store was a natural extension of their "yarn store in a box" mail order concept. But ordering at all hours doesn't match the experience of walking into their Bath, Maine store, where you can wander through ceiling-high shelves of yarns, fiber, and tools (even before you take the elevator to their classroom space). When I visited the store in 2016, owner Gretchen Jaeger handed me a sample of a natural fiber I'd never even heard of before: giant Himalayan nettle. (If you can't find it in Halcyon's online store, call and inquire—a real live fiber person will hook you up with just the right thing. Like many stores that specialize in natural fibers for spinning, they sometimes come across special treasures in limited quantities.)
Today I read that only 4% of the available information on the web is indexed by Google (Paul McFedries, "The Language of the Dark Web"). Much of the other 96% may be hiding on purpose, but it made me wonder: When I assume that a search engine will reveal every source of natural fiber for spinning, what am I missing? Even in the age of search mania, a natural fiber directory will point you toward spinning options you didn't know existed.
The world is full of delightful natural fibers for spinning. Buy wool directly from a farmer, shop from a store's carefully chosen collection of natural fibers, or put a new yarn store pin on your summer road trip map. Use every way you can think of to sink your nose and your hands into the wonderful array of spinning possibilities.

O.K.I. Reserve
O.K.I. Reserve is an 8-year-old, 35% rye bourbon sourced by New Riff Distilling (from nearby MGPI). New Riff opened in the spring of 2014 in Newport, Kentucky, just on the other side of the river from Cincinnati. The stunning new distillery is owned by Ken Lewis, former president of the Wine and Spirits Guild of America and former owner of The Party Source, a northern Kentucky liquor store.
While O.K.I. Reserve is sourced from MGPI, New Riff's 60-foot-tall Vendome still is on full blast. They're making whiskey for their own stocks and contract distilling for other anonymous operations to keep cash flowing in.
In addition to O.K.I. Reserve, Lewis also sells O.K.I. Rye, O.K.I. Single Barrel, and O.K.I. bourbons finished in used beer barrels from nearby Ei8ht Ball Brewing.
The name O.K.I. signifies the whiskey history of greater Cincinnati- once a hub of whiskey production. As the label declares, O.K.I. is "distilled in Indiana, bottled in Kentucky, and enjoyed in Ohio." So why didn't they call it I.K.O.?
O.K.I. Reserve
New Riff Distilling
97.7 proof
$45 at Liquor Barn in Louisville, KY
Color: Rich, deep amber.
Nose: The nose is just classic. A mouth-watering combination of caramel, vanilla, oak, leather, and warm rye bread.
Tasting Notes: Again, classic vanilla and caramel sweetness. Before long, the spice pops in the mouth- I get cinnamon candies, white pepper, and some barrel char. The finish is very dry and lingers for days like campfire smoke in the mouth.
Overall: O.K.I. is sort of like New Riff's version of Smooth Ambler's Old Scout, which is MGPI distilled, 7 to 10-year-old, 36% rye bourbon. So if you can't land O.K.I., just go get that.
