Ok, my gut feeling is there’s going to be a lot more than just two whisky-related events happening around here in the next month or so. I don’t know, maybe my Gaelic heritage gives me some keen insight that other mere mortals don’t have…but I’m pretty sure there’ll be a lot going on.
Sponsored by The Whisky Shop, this tasting led by Mr. MacKillop himself will feature 8 MaccKillop’s Choice bottlings: 1989 Scapa, 1986 Dalmore, 1977 Glenlivet, 1980 Highland Park (excellent stuff), 1985 Longmorn, 1979 Caol Ila, a 12yo Oloroso finished Tomintoul and a peated Tomintoul.
Also, word on the street is there’s another little tasting on the 8th. It seems several whiskies are involved with this one and there’s a decent chance some industry people might be there…
This is Malt Advocate’s annual West Coast blowout, with over 260 whiskies being featured and several seminars led by the leaders of the whisky world. A VIP ticket gets you in the door one hour earlier and gets you pours of exclusive stuff that the regular peons (me, for example) can’t get their grubby, proletariat hands on.
The Jet-Set Life is nothing new to Nicole Richie, our July Guest Editor and House of Harlow designer. As a global name in fashion, daughter of a music icon and wife of a rockstar, it’s safe to say Nicole has learned a thing or to about life on the road. Case in point? Richie keeps a travel-sized beauty “go bag” tucked away at all times – ready for anything in a flash. We’re taking note and dreaming of a few of her favorite destinations ourselves.
Last week we chatted with Nicole about living a healthy life in L.A. (check out her answers here!); now we’re picking her brain for ways to stay our well-est when we’re on the go this summer. Read on for Nicole’s in-flight musts, tips for hotel coziness (and what to wear en route), and why vacations are more like pizza than we’d previously assumed…
Treat your hotel room like a spa. Traveling can be hard on your body, so do what you can to make your stay as comfortable as possible
All July long, we're talking with Nicole Richie about living well in every way. Starting with our first interview where she shares about the perks and troubles of healthy living in L.A.
I’m sorry Nicole Ritchie answering questions on health???? She is so anorexic! I’m sorry I get thin is the norm for LA, but she looks like she is going to fall over from starvation!!!!
Yor good health comes from within.. To be skinny or overweight or “the norm” doesn’t mean you are healthy, looks can be deserving..
My research interests place me within the Deep Earth Research Group of the Institute of Geophysics and Tectonics. My primary research focus is the dynamics of the core-mantle system. Observed oscillations of the fluid and solid cores provide insight into properties such as the strength and morphology of the magnetic field within the core, the viscosities of the fluid and solid cores, the shape of the inner core and core-mantle boundaries, and the conductivity of the lowermost mantle. Core oscillations can be detected using observations of magnetic field variations, changes in length-of-day and polar motion, and changes in the gravity field. The global magnetic field is generated by fluid motions in the core, and by studying the structure and evolution of the magnetic field we can understand the dynamics of the core and its interactions with the overlying mantle.

Why you should read this book: Because it will take you again the world of Shadowhunters and Downwolders.
So, I really liked this book but not a 5 stars like, more like a 4- stars like. I enjoyed the story and the characters are great, every one of them with their own personality and charisma. What I didn’t enjoy much was the length of the book, maybe it was a little too much, maybe there were a little too many descriptions that could’ve been avoided. Besides that, I enjoyed the mystery, the drama, the secrets, the lies, the modernity in a world without it, the laughs, the boys, the girls, the pizza, and the sass.
I didn’t like very much the love stories. Maybe only one but then of course it was ruined, RUINED, I saw a lot of potential in it and it was ripped away from me a little too soon. I hope we are going to see more of it in the second book because I need it.
When I read Emma and Julian were parabatai I told myself BUT OF COURSE, they will fall in love, their love will be forbidden, drama here, drama there, misunderstandings everywhere. Well, the usual, right? I wasn’t hopeful, I started the book already prepared for what it indeed delivered.
The Blackthorns were really nice to read about. The character I loved the most in this book was Ty, Tiberius Blackthorn. I thought he was a little bit like myself, different from the other members of the family, weirdly excited about random stuff, doesn’t show much affection but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love everyone around him. He shows he cares differently and his personality is adorable. I want to read more about him.
I, of course loved Mark. Who can resist a half faerie half nephilim guy with pointed ears who speaks lie he came right from an old book? Lovely beyond compare. Yeah, he starts changing the way he speaks the more he stays among shadowhunters but nontheless he is a fascinating character and I loved almost everything about him. He annoyed me a little bit the last chapters of the book because, come on, you overreated, man-elf, that’s not nice!
“This cat is looking at me with judgment.”“He’s not,” said Jules. “That’s just his face.”“You look at me the same way,” Mark said, glancing at Julian. “Judgy face.”
I liked that Julian wasn’t like Jace, all emo about life. He isn’t exactly a ray of shunshine but he is adorable and he is trying his best, he loves too much and that’s a problem and it’s going to be a huge problem in the next book, I’m sure of that. Loving too much is painful and can break you. Oh, it is going to break him, and us. Oh yeah, it is going to happen.
The mystery. Who is the murder? What is going on in LA? I had a couple of suspects in the beginning, they weren’t the murders, I misjudged them and I’m sorry of that. The murder wasn’t 100% a surprise buti t was hidden quite well. If they didn’t guessed it and I didn’t guessed it then I can say that I am as smart as at least 8 shadowhunters. I like that.
I may be one of the few that liked how the book ended. I saw the point in everything that happened. I think that was a very wise move because it involved the life of another human being. It’s a not a silly thing, it’s not a decision made by a confused teenager who doesn’t know best. The decision was thought deeply and I think it was the only way to go. Lies are bad but in this case, I cannot say it isn’t for the best.
Well, it’s not that I can’t really wait for the sequel but I’m very curious. I just hope it’s not going to be an over 700 pages book, I will settle for 580, 590 tops.
