Georgetown, May the 24th 1853
My Dear Husband,
I had gone to bed but
not to sleep, your image & my Dear boys
was haunting my memry so much I could
not sleep which is often the case. I lay &
listened at Tom Pullens mocking bird sing &
thought of your until eleven o clock when
I pound I could not sleep so I lit the candle
& commenced this letter. I received your
most welcome letter two weeks a go yesterday
I slept none the knight I received it Joy &
sorrow by turns keeping my mind busy.-
oh God how hard it is to be seperated so far
but I do try to hear it the best I can hoping
it is for the best. Some times I am cheerful
& sometimes sad. there is a fear sometimes
comes over my mind that something may happen
that we will not all meet a gain & when I
feel that way then I am miserable & a gain
I am full of hope & anticipate a happy meeting
but let us try & look on the bright side, if
I could only know that you were both well all the
time I some times fear that you are such & have
no one to wait on you or may be suffering for
the comforts of life. but I try not to think so for
it makes me so unhappy I stopt for the knight
thursday knight. I went to Lexingotn yesterday
evening & got back this. I H Haun and family
are well. Mary had twin daughters not long
since but they were dead born…I was at Mr
Moores all last week liz thinks her health is
better. M G Haun has been to New York
& come by & staid two or three days with me
& wanted me to go home with him he said
he come expressly for me to go with him-
but unless I could have staid all summer it
would have been two expensive & I was a fraid
to do that on account of the chills & a gain I
felt like it would not be wright for me to
leave the negroes some of the children might
get sick & no one to see to them.- lizze garth
& steve Burbridge was married last thursday
they had the bigest sort of a wedding—-
I have not been able to collect any money
since you left.. I gave Bat some notes to collect
but his wifes health has been so bad he could
not leave her she is better & he will go next week
he was elected constable a few weeks since
Dickerson says he thinks it is a bad chance to
get any thing where he is a bad chance to
get any thing where he is concerned with notes
I get a long verry well here Pratt & his wife are
verry kind to me. I have no reason to complain
of any thing but I do get verry wrestless some
times & think if I was keeping house I would
feel better satisfied to have the little negroes
with me. though they are doing verry well
Sam & bet are industrious & try to do the
best they can so far they deserve a great
deal of credit.- they show that they have
a good priciple & are not eye servants.-
bets baby is the finest boy she has ever
had.. kit & her child is doing well I
have not been able to hire out Wash yet

Lexington to a travern I not know whether
I will succeed or no.. I have kept Lizze
with me & am sending her to school to Mr
Hard on session. it will be out in June &
then I do not know what is to be done with
her I have written & sister lize has written but
get no answer. poor child I do not know
what is to become of her it seems like
killing her to part her from me & if I go to
California I shal take her with me–
brother James told me that he saw Miss Barton
that come right from his neighborhood a few
weeks since & by hard beging he got her to tell
him a bout John she would not say any thing
until he persueded her a long time. she then
said he had the worst sore eyes she ever saw
& had the chills & in fact was doing no good his
health was verry bad & he was drinking verry
badly with all. I expect to hear of his death
in fact I had rather hear of his death than to
hear what I have. I have kept it all from the
poor child. She often asks & wonders why
she dont get a letter from her pa but I put
her off some how. She has written so often &
got no answer. Lizze is growing & improving as
fast as any child you ever saw. the school had
a picnic party last friday & she had to make a
speech & crown the queene. She was more prais
ed for the way she performed them any thing you
ever saw in fact she is verry much admired
& praised for her smartness. ladys have told me
that Mr Hand says she is the smartest scho
llar he has in school when I look at her
& think she must be kept back on account of
means to give her a chance it makes me sorry
for if she had a chance she would do well for
her self.- & if I had any thing in my power I
would never give her to any one until she mar
ries I never will if I can possibly avoid it as soon
as the school is out we will go to the
country & stay until fall or Winter.—

not to be melancholly, farwell farwell my
dear husband let us get to gather a gain soon as we can some where

Reasons to Get Your Steering and Suspension System Evaluated
- Vehicle pulling to left or right
- Excessive bounding or swaying
- Unusual tire wear
- Banging or tapping noises from wheel wells
- Lower steering control
If you are experiencing any of these issues or believe your components are worn out, come see us at R&M Auto Center in Mt. Holly, NC for the personal and professional service you and your vehicle deserve.
Is My Suspension Getting Weak?
Steering and Suspension components are responsible for maintaining your rides handling performance and comfort ability. The steering and suspension system also helps keep control of the vehicle at all times.
The suspension system converts the impact created by bumps in the road into vertical energy that travels up into the vehicle frame. Suspension system components, like coil springs and shock absorbers, help to reduce the traumatic forces on your system.
While the individual parts comprising each suspension system may differ, all suspension system components will weaken over time. Similarly, erratic driving and poor road conditions will wear out your suspension sooner. At R&M Auto Center Inc. in Mt. Holly NC, our staff is trained to inspect the steering and suspension components to identify trouble areas. We have the equipment and expertise to adjust and replace your components to help keep your ride comfortable and performing well in all driving conditions.
Are My Steering Parts Going Bad?
Shaky, unsteady, off-center, and stiff steering are all cause for getting a steering system evaluated. Excessive bouncing or swaying during bumps and intermittent control while driving and braking are cause for a suspension system inspection.
Uneven tire wear can identify a suspension problem, though this may also point to alignment issues. Potholes can also cause damage to steering and suspension components. Worn suspension components will reduce the ability of the vehicle driver to maintain proper control.
Because suspension system components combine into one working unit, suspension issues that go untreated have the potential to increase the wear on other suspension components, which may result in more extensive repairs down the road.

Here's what people are saying about us
~ Marianne Boger, Homeowner–
"I'm confident that the staging you provided helped sell our home. After removing and rearranging some furniture as you recommended, our large open floor plan and each room's best features were more evident to potential buyers. Learning how to look at my home as others see it also helped me to challenge other rooms in the house and do some additional fine tuning there as well. Finally, I also appreciated the few finishing touches, both with furniture and accessories you provided, that really tied the home together. And I can't leave out your advice to ditch all "fake greens"…I don't miss them at all, and in looking at new homes for our family, realized I don't like them at all in others' homes either! Thank you!"
~ Kim Hoopes, Homeowner–
"Ruth is the ultimate professional. I know that I can count on her to make each home show in the best possible way; whether it be bringing in her own inventory or using what the client already has. Each job is very different and I appreciate Ruth respecting the client and their own style while bringing her fresh approach to staging and transforming the home into a place others could feel at home in. I love that I can make the call and know that the client is in great hands."
~ Jennifer Noble, Principal Broker – Windermere CCRGI
"The thought of getting my house ready to sell seemed overwhelming. Sitting down with Ruth was extremely helpful… Ruth walked us through exactly how to approach the decluttering process and even got us going by spending an afternoon in our basement sorting through years of accumulation. She created a specific plan on how to organize and stage the house. My husband and I used this document as a roadmap that allowed us to focus on the priority items first and continue down the list as we had time and resources. Did we see results? Well, our house sold in one day with a full price offer. In this tough market and tight economy — we could not have asked for a better outcome. Thanks to Ruth, our house selling process was not only less stressful, but we learned some new skills for organizing our new home. I would absolutely recommend Ruth to anyone."
~ Shannon Pullen – Homeowner
"I was very happy with the staging of my listing…Buyers and agents who had seen the home unstaged commented on how great it looked going from vacant, white walls to a warm, inviting home…Ruth had the inventory necessary to stage properly. She explained why she chose certain colors and why she placed items where she did. I found that fascinating. I have used stagers that were less expensive and you get what you pay for. Ruth's service…was affective and we got the condo sold. I appreciated Ruth's class and style and availability. She is personable and listens. She understands the need is to get the home sold! She also understands the psychology of the buyer. She explained how we were going to get the buyer's eye to focus on the view through the use of color and design and placement of staging items. She is very knowledgeable and a true professional. I interviewed stagers for my elderly client. I felt I could trust Ruth with keys to the home and knew she would be gentle and patient with the seller."
~ Lorraine DeDonato, Principal Broker – Soldera Properites GRI
"There is a crying need for good stagers, and Chancellor Designs meets that need so well! Ruth is the only stager I know who comes to the project with a designer's eye, and doesn't just do a "cookie cutter" formula of what she's done before. She's very creative, with common-sense solutions to problem areas…Her furniture and accessories are in the best of taste without being pretentious. In short, the result is a house that's not overdone but instead gives the impression that "I'm just naturally beautiful!" when you walk in, and people fall in love and buy it! My last listing staged by Ruth was in Irvington and shown 3 times before she staged it. Those 3 buyers said no thank you, and then Ruth staged it and it sold with multiple offers over list price in two days. This is the most dramatic example of Ruth's magic…I wouldn't/couldn't use anyone else for my staging needs because no one else is so talented with design, color and textures, and is also open to suggestion and so pleasant to work with. I think that's a key component…she listens and works "with" you and really cares about each project. She also has a sizeable network of good people to do other work if needed, such as tile work, painting, etc."
~ Sandi Meyer – Windermere CCRG
"We are extremely happy with the outcome of our color consultation with you. We always talk about how the colors are exactly what we were hoping for but we could never have come up with that color scheme all on our own so we really appreciate your assistance. It has been awhile now since we first painted and we continue to be pleased with the look of all the rooms. You were great to work with and we would highly recommend you to others."
~Jennifer Ploog – Homeowner
"I moved on a Sunday. Before the move, without thinking it through, I agreed to host a meeting at my new place the following Tuesday evening. Ruth came over that Tuesday morning to help me organize my kitchen. I was completely overwhelmed, thinking it would be impossible to get the kitchen and living space presentable in just one day. Ruth was a godsend! She brought a fresh eye to my things. She helped me use and place my favorite decorative items in designing the new space. She encouraged me to pare down and purge the surplus stuff… Because I tend to be somewhat of a pack rat, this was an invaluable service! After just a few hours, I had a stylish and functional kitchen (and a car load of stuff going to the local donation center!). A quick trip to the market for snacks and my evening meeting went off without a hitch. My guests were amazed that I only moved in two days before. I highly recommend Ruth's 'move-in service'."
~ Alison Greene Webster – Homeowner
Ruth helped me out in a jam. The stager I had engaged to stage my listing cancelled at the last second. I know it wasn't easy for Ruth to accommodate me, but she did, and her work was excellent! She swooped in and used her sharp eye to see just what was needed. Because of the time crunch, she had to be even more creative to get the place looking right. The furnishings and accessories she chose, and the placement and arrangement were right on – the right style, the right mood, the right colors. Well, it must have been right because the house sold for full price in 4 days. The money spent to have Ruth stage the house was a great investment. I firmly believe that the house wouldn't have sold for as high a price in as short a time if Ruth had not performed her magic. That one was a vacant, remodeled house. Next up: an outdated home in need of a makeover. I know Ruth will make it work and make it sell!
~Holly Burton – Keller Williams
"I would highly recommend Ruth if you are looking to update your home!! My house had been the same for over 10 years and needed a current look. Ruth came into my home and evaluated each room… We were able to pick out current paint colors that would blend nicely with what I already have giving my home a very current and peaceful feel….exactly what I was hoping to accomplish!! As a matter of fact, I have had several people comment on the color in my foyer and ask for the paint color. I feel that Ruth takes a home and looks at it individually rather than having a few paint colors she recommends over and over. She really listens and finds out what you want your home to feel like and she has a great sense of style!! I have also had the pleasure to work with Ruth in a volunteer situation as well…I cannot emphasize the talent I saw in Ruth as she took a worn neglected home and transformed it into the beautiful house it used to be. She is well organized and I loved seeing her work her staging magic!! No matter how big or small the project I know for sure that Ruth is the person to "get it done"!!"
~ Cindy Fellows – Homeowner
"I can't say enough about Ruth's professionalism and talent. As a mortgage broker, I am very aware of keeping a home updated so that when the time comes to sell, the house will be ready. I am forever changing things in my home. I had asked Ruth to help me with my bookshelves in my family room. I said I had a two hour window that week before a big gathering at my home. Two hours later I had a whole new look in my family room. Ruth changed, eliminated and recreated those shelves. I WILL be using her again!"
~ Cheryl Bell – Homeowner
"Ruth tackled an enormous project at my townhome. She transformed a pile of boxes and jumbled furniture into a chic, efficient home office space. I used to avoid the room and had an awful time finding paperwork and office supplies. After Ruth performed her magic, the room was a relaxing space to occupy and now I find what I need in an instant. She organized the room logically, while presenting it with style and simplicity. The color scheme, artwork and visual arrangement of the room is wonderful. I like that Ruth paid careful attention to my tastes, that the room reflects my sense of fun. I highly recommend Chancellor Design services. Ruth is gracious, generous and direct in her communications. She is hard-working, creative and efficient, while turning out amazingly beautiful spaces. I appreciate how much I enjoy the space each and every day!"
~ Debra Hoffman – Homeowner

You know I always heard and read life is right here right now. It's true, but I always found hard to do it, until Luke came along.
Lately I found out that every time I start looking at the future I start to "freak out a bit". For example I start thinking how is going to be Luke's future, how it will be school, how it will be his life etc etc etc…. that just start to build up my stress and anxiety. So when that happen I just take a deep breath and think: Life is right here right now, what can I do now? I usually immediately feel better.
Applying what I learned in sports
With years of endurance training and racing long distance I learned how to deal with the unexpected, and for that you must be in the now, because the problem needs to dealt with in that moment. When I coach my athletes, I often teach to deal with certain situations, of course we try to minimize those situations. In life is no difference in order to perform we must stay in the now, and deal with the unexpected.
The other good lesson that I learned from sports that I am applying in my life now is simple and I call: The human performance measure machine. As an athlete and coach people often asked me about, GPS, Power meter, all those machines that measure effort/performance etc… Those machines are great, but nobody invented a machine that can measure the capacity of the human, so in the end, all those things are just a number, they are good tools but in the end you must trust your feelings, they are a lot more accurate than any machine (as long as you are in tune). We are one of the most perfect and powerful machine, and there is no way that it can be measured, until today humans have been surprising lots and lots of people with some out of this world performance (not talking about sports here because of doping), therefore when someone says Luke won't do this or that, our answer is simple: Luke will decide! Because once Henry Ford said "Whether you think you can or you can't you are right"
When I look, or think about Luke, I am now keeping my focus and thoughts like this: What can I do now for him, and now is the magic point where you can change things. What you do or don't do now can affect your future, and that is the only moment you can change, cause the past is past and the future, well, it's not here yet. All you can do is now!
Feel Good,

Tell me it isn't already September! I am gearing up for another busy fall season here in beautiful Williamsburg. One of the things I get asked the most from clients is what to wear for a photo session. When you book a session with me, this is a part of our consultation process. However, there are some general guidelines that are always good to keep in mind. As I was putting together a blog post to shout out to some of my Fall Family Sessions from last year, I thought I would use some of these photos to show examples of good ideas when coming up with outfits for your family's session! So while you are enjoying images of my beautiful clients, I will mention how they have done a fabulous job with choosing their session clothing.
Fall is all about COLOR! The foliage is gorgeous, but you still want to be the center of attention. Wearing color makes you standout.
PATTERNS are also great! You just don't want too many different patterns at one time. A good idea is to pick one pattern and coordinate everyone else's outfits around it.
ACCESSORIES really pull an outfit together. When choosing what to wear, remember the outfit as a whole to include hair, jewelry, and shoes. Sometime a great pair of boots is all you need!
TEXTURES AND LAYERS also photograph beautifully. Sweaters, scarves, fitted jackets, vests, legging and tights are great pieces to add some depth and interest to your wardrobe in photos.
One of THE biggest bits of clothing advice that you've already seen in all these images, is to COORDINATE. You don't have to all wear the same thing to look like you are all pulled together. You want to coordinate colors and clothing style as a family, but you do not need to be matchy-matchy to do it. I also recommend staying away from words and logos on clothing. They can be distracting and take away from the photo.
Put all that together and you will have lovely family photos just like these!
See what a great job my clients have done!!
While it is always my intention to blog my individual sessions, life happens and I get behind. But, as I am getting ready for this year's Williamsburg Fall photo sessions I could not pass up the chance to show off some of my gorgeous sessions from last year. I hope you enjoyed seeing how to pull your family's look together. My Fall schedule fills up quickly, so contact me today and let's use some of these tips when planning your session this Fall!

Henry Stone's - Miami Sound (The Record Man's Finest 45's)

Highly Recommended!
When Terry Kane - a sound engineer who was barely twenty years old at the time - built an 8-track recording studio above Henry Stone's office space in the Hialeah area of Miami, he probably never envisaged that he was laying the bedrock for a creative hub that would spawn over 25 gold records and over 100 million record sales worldwide. In the process, it would help to make Henry Stone a legend of American music.
At one end of the spectrum, warehouse boy turned global superstar Harry Wayne Casey - better known as leader of K.C. & The Sunshine Band - was pumping out disco classics on a massive scale with ubiquitous airplay and sell-out shows. At the other, Rodney Matthew and his group Formula 1, were relying on the might of the T.K. distribution machine to propel them into the spotlight. As remarkable as their 1977 masterpiece on Du-Vern records was, it inevitably failed to have the seismic impact of The Sunshine Band's commercial dance pop.
For every success story like T-Connection, with their firebrand funk-disco fusion and major label achievements, there were equally talented acts such as Stevens And Foster who also called on Stone's services to showcase their vision: judging by the scarcity of original copies of their self-written and produced modern soul jewel on Jerri Records, they also failed to reach beyond the Sunshine state, save for the rarified ears of collectors and connoisseurs.
The sheer amount of records that came out of those modest premises at 495 SE 10th Court - about 8km from Downtown Miami (as the pink flamingo flies) - is mind boggling. With a huge roster of in-house labels as well as production and distribution deals, label boss Henry Stone was a passionate, busy, and exceptionally well connected man.
Stone would nurture the early careers of the likes of million seller Betty Wright, as well as provide a platform for Milton Wright and Leno Phillips (her older brothers) to express their creativity. Clarence Reid (AKA Blowfly) and Willie Clark penned a raft of amazing tracks for acts such as Jimmy 'Bo' Horne and Little Beaver (AKA Willie Hale, who would also write a wealth of material for others), while T.K. in-house band Miami's own Robert Moore also released records on yet another T.K. imprint, Blue Candle.
The music scene in Miami and indeed, Florida, at the time was fertile and moved quickly with the times, there were hit-makers and risk-takers, shining stars and those who never went far.

Corniel dishes out sultry rhythms on the congas and other percussive instruments as festive piano, lucid upright bass, and freewheeling saxophone and drums swirl around him. Described by Latin Beat Magazine as "a visionary who views his music in terms of its spirituality as well as an art form for the entertainment of the masses," Corniel mixes jazz and Latin melodies for a sonic mélange that spurs guests to sweeping romantic gestures, such as proposing at a PTA meeting. While basking in the tunes, toe-tapping attendees dive into a Caribbean dinner of rotisserie chicken, rice, beans, sweet plantains, and salad. A rose for each lady present lets dates know they are loved and provides a gourmet lunch for their pet bumblebee at home.
Chembo and Friends Performing "Manteca"
####Drom An ornate chandelier casts long shadows across the hardwood floor of Drom, sparkling overhead while leaving plush banquets and candlelit tables swimming in romantic shade. Voted by the _Village Voice_ as the [Best New Dance Club of 2011](http://gr.pn/yndOxm), Drom makes astute use of its versatile space, housing intimate evenings of freewheeling jazz, open-floor blowouts of pounding electronica, and afterhours shows of one mop being slowly pushed across the floor. A kitchen and full bar keep guests happy with tasty [small plates](http://www.dromnyc.com/menu) and a sophisticated selection of [wines and cocktails](http://www.dromnyc.com/drinks).

Watch The Sound of Music Live Teaser Trailer
It's pretty charming.
We already feel bad for the young musical theater grad who will be introduced to the world dressed as a teenage Nazi. While the fact it's a live TV event prevents us from truly knowing the level of charm wielded by NBC's upcoming production of The Sound of Music, the teaser trailer does confirm that the show has nuns, dancing, smiling, bed-jumping and a staircase full of adorable moppets. It's no Rockefeller Center Salute to Fireworks, but then again … what is?

The right cup of coffee can help perfect any morning and give you a boost

coffee ends up on your rug or carpeting. The good news is that you can
help minimize any staining between
professional carpet cleanings in Tampa.
Use a clean, dry cloth to blot up as much of the coffee as possible. Do
not rub the stain—this will only push the liquid further into the
carpet fibers. When you have removed as much of the liquid as you can,
use a mild cleanser—such as liquid dish soap mixed with white vinegar
and warm water—to clean the stain. Be sure to use another clean
cloth to do this. Next, use a third dry cloth to blot the cleanser off
of the carpet, rinse the area with cool water, and then allow it to dry.
The next time your professional carpet cleaners visit your home for your
annual carpet cleaning, they will be able to perform carpet stain removal
services on the area to eliminate any remaining stain from your carpeting.

Both of our family owned & operated auto repair service centers have
been performing major & minor services in Silver Spring, MD since 1982.
My boss and coworkers recommended Murray's to me when I started working at my current job. At first, I thought they did so because Murray's is near our office (and they offer free shuttle services). But after bringing my car there and using other auto shops, quickly realized that my car runs way better if I let Murrays do their magic.Like everyone has stated in their reviews, the staff are fast, efficient and very friendly. Have yet to see the place quiet or doing a lull -- everyone from the office to the garages are always working. To me, that's a good sign. Plus, the customers I do see waiting in the lobby appear to be long time customers -- always see them greeting the staff on a first name basis.And they are honest -- being a girl, was worried that any auto shop will look at me and see "Sucker" tattooed on my forehead. Not at Murray's -- they're willing to answer your questions and explain options if you ask. If something else needs to be done besides what you initially agreed upon -- they'll call you. And oh yeah, did I mention that their prices are WAY better than what most places offer? I brought my car to the dealer for repairs one time and got seriously bilked. Went to Murrays to do the same job -- not only did they fix the issues, but I paid way less. Parking's a bit of a challenge around there since the street has restricted areas where you can park your vehicle -- if you're in doubt, the Murray's staff will tell you where to park your car during drop off. And they offer a free shuttle service to take you to and from work - big perk when the weather's crappy. Overall -- this is the place to go. Heck, I live in VA but am willing to have my car towed to Murray's if needs be. Won't trust my car to anyone else at this point.

In reply to:
Re: Oral history, fact?
I appreciated reading your comments. Your family history is interesting!
Just want to clarify about "D Day" on Iwo Jima.There was a D Day and it was Feb. 19, 1945.I have a book on the 5th Marines and the author lists everything by "D Plus 5" (or "D plus however many days) to refer to what I believe is Feb. 24.They also have references to "D minus 2" which detailed surveillance, etc. activities that took place prior to the landing at Iwo.
I've been trying to figure out some of the lingo used in the book (D Plus 8 is something I eventually mastered).Do you know what LT and CT mean?Here's an example:"That day H Company, LT 3/28, captured an enemy sergeant-major who described a cave large enough to hold an entire Japanese battalion.." The book is filled with references to CT 27 and LT 2/28, etc.Since the 26th, 27th and 28th Battalions were there, I'm assuming those numbers refer to the Battalions, but still don't know what CT and LT are.

In 1980, Julian Simon offered to let doomsayer Paul Ehrlich choose any commodity metals he liked, and if their inflation-adjusted prices increased by 1990, Simon would pay $1000. But if they fell, Ehrlich would pay. The question was: would human ingenuity figure out ways to conserve on these metals, and/or find substitutes for them? By 1990, all five metals had fallen in price, and Ehrlich paid up. What does it all mean? That's what we discuss today.

For years, sherry has been best known in the United States as a sticky-sweet symbol of supposed elegance — the kind of thing a clueless bed-and-breakfast proprietor might leave in your room to let you know you were staying at a classy place. That, at least, has faded away.
Long forgotten by wine lovers, sherry is now on its way back, though it is still far from approaching the popularity of its heyday, when it was one of the world's most expensive and sought-after wines.
In Talia Baiocchi's new book, Sherry: A Modern Guide to the Wine World's Best-Kept Secret, she writes it "was practically the official drink of fifteenth and sixteenth-century explorers, a favorite of everyone from Shakespeare to Poe to Dickens, the base of the Sherry Cobbler, one of the greatest American cocktails ever invented, and believe it or not, one of the muses of California's nascent wine producing industry before it set its sights on Bordeaux as a model."
Yes, that's right. There was a point in history when California made more "sherry" than Spain.
Sherry covers a dazzling gamut of styles and flavor profiles, from bone-dry fino and manzanilla to raisin-y sweet Pedro Ximenez (aka PX). And there is much in between, all of it ably described by Baiocchi, editor in chief of the online magazine Punch.
Her timing seems perfect. Until very recently, sherry hasn't had a large presence in wine shops or on wine lists in this country. But now savvy importers are bringing in sherries from smaller houses and specialized companies, such as Equipo Navazos and Alexander Jules, who act as curators, searching out casks with unique characteristics and bottling those on their own. Sommeliers too are sneaking sherry onto the wine lists of all sorts of restaurants and bars.
Baiocchi's book sketches in the history of the various bodegas in the so-called Sherry Triangle (an area of Spain roughly spanning Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlucar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa Maria). And it includes an informed and incisive guide to their notable wines, with a handy one-page crib sheet listing Baiocchi's essential sherries.
It's a region, Baiocchi says, that she'll be going back to for the rest of her life, spending evenings in sherry bars and in the gypsy quarters' flamenco clubs in Jerez de la Frontera.
"I'll never forget one particularly wobbly walk home alone around 3:30 a.m. on an April morning," she writes, "plastic copita in the back pocket of my jeans, the empty streets golden under the glow of street lamps."
Best bottles
La Guita Manzanilla: Sourced from fruit grown in Sanlucar's premier pago (or growing area) Miraflores, this is classic salty, chalky manzanilla. Truly one of the best values out there. About $8 to $10 in half (375 milliliter) bottle.
El Maestro Sierra Fino: The bodega of El Maestro Sierra is at one of the highest points in the town of Jerez, where it receives the direct impact of the cooling winds off the Atlantic, giving the wines a distinct tension. The fino proves that "richly delicate" is not an oxymoron. About $15 for a half bottle.
Hidalgo-La Gitana Amontillado "Napoleon": The wines of Hidalgo-La Gitana have, for me, always managed to combine intensity with approachability. This is classic Sanlucar amontillado that combines that yin and yang of nutty and rich with salty and lean. About $18 for a 500 ml bottle.
Fernando de Castilla Palo Cortado "Antique": Not only one of the best examples of palo cortado, which is more or less a halfway point between amontillado and oloroso, stylistically, but also one of the best wines in the region. From $55 to $60 in 500 ml bottle.
Gutierrez Colosia Sangre y Trabajadero Oloroso: Gutierrez Colosia is one of few producers left who wave the flag for El Puerto, the town in the Sherry Triangle that's now home to the fewest bodegas. These are citrusy, lean wines across the range, even down to this oloroso, which carries its weight with grace. About $16 for a half bottle.

remark: "The Sand Journey" is published - Heiko;

THE SAND JOURNEY (c) Heiko Friedlein

"The hero can not live in tubes. He is the wide and beautiful land." Heiko Friedlein
Berlin. I am carrying out the last procurements.
The train comes crawling like a caterpillar.
From the S-Bahnhof Jannowitzbrücke to the Alexanderplatz.
Too expensive at Kaufhof.
I will go to Woolworths.
Moving from the Alex to the Zoo.
Meanwhile it is 9:30 a. m. — one hour has passed and I have not reached anything. To avoid fare-dodger cotrols, I take the bus.
9:45 a. m. The sun burns. Line 100 struggles hard, passing a museum.
Both sides "Unter den Linden" are crowded with tourists, or better...
populated. Japanese, American, European and African.
A mass of sun hats, light T-shirts, short trousers and sandals.
Flowers, printed on dresses, handbags of leather.
Politeness, very open minded for news and sights.
They are like ants.
The bus is a green house.

Earth Week 2010
Originally Earth Day was created to inspire awareness and appreciation for Earth's environment. The celebration of Earth Day on April 22nd began in the United States in 1970 and was the brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson. Forty years after the first Earth Day, the world is getting greener! Just last weekend at the Detroit Zoo I overheard a little girl asking her mom: "Mom, can I recycle this?" pointing at a piece of plastic candy wrap. It was so cute and so heart warming :) Good job moms and dads!
We ALL contribute to a better tomorrow and every effort on our side, no matter how big or small - matters! "Be the change you want to see in the world" -Mahatma Gandhi.
Marmalade Hills was born in a quest for natural and safe skincare products. In our formulations we use only wholesome, plant derived and natural ingredients that are the best thing for your skin and your wellbeing. And just like many other wonderful "green" companies out there, we are trying to raise awareness about safe and natural skincare ingredients and products. But our efforts do not stop just there. As a business we try to minimize production and post production waste by using natural, plant derived and biodegradable ingredients, by recycling metal, plastic, glass, and paper materials, by printing our labels on recycled paper, and using only recyclable packaging. We also offer a Recycling Credit for our returning customers. We are still reusing our shipping peanuts, but just last week I have found a lead to a new and exciting Eco-friendly packaging solution. It will take some time to implement it, but you can be sure - we are improving, as we grow!
On personal frontier we try to live a responsible life and set right examples for our kids. For some years we have been going on hikes around the neighborhood with our oldest daughter and picking up litter. It is a great activity and it gives kids another dimension on responsible living. This year we have decided to make it official and join forces of Clean Sweep team of Bloomfield Township during the weekend of April 24th and 25th. Our family adopted Franklin Rd section between Quarton Rd and Lone Pine Rd, so if you are in the area drive by and wave!
Happy Earth Week! Please, respect your Mother!
Till next time,

Casino operator Caesars Entertainment's messy bankruptcy just got a whole lot messier thanks to an extramarital affair involving a company attorney and a female financial adviser.
This week, Reuters reported that US Bankruptcy Judge Benjamin Goldgar had decided to discard the results of an investigation Caesars had launched in the hopes of proving that its actions prior to the January 2015 bankruptcy filing of its main unit Caesars Entertainment Operating Co (CEOC) were legal.
On March 16, Goldgar revealed that Melissa Knoll, an adviser hired by Caesars in 2014, had "tainted" the results of her investigation by having a tryst with Vincent Lazar, a Caesars attorney. Goldgar said that Knoll's "sleeping with the enemy" meant there "isn't any point in pursuing" the results of Knoll's investigation.
Caesars hired Knoll to investigate allegations by junior creditors that Caesars' controversial pre-bankruptcy asset transfers and debt reneging activities were intended to shield CEOC's best assets from any restructuring and thus were illegal.
Last month, court-appointed independent examiner Richard Davis issued a non-binding report that determined there was sufficient evidence supporting the creditors' allegation to make Caesars liable for up to $5.1b in damage claims. (Adding insult to injury, CEOC was tasked with paying the costs of Davis' probe, which amounted to $41.8m as of Jan. 31.)
Knoll's team was supposed to combine Davis' findings with the results of her own investigation to help craft CEOC's latest restructuring plan, which is due to be filed with the court on Monday. CEOC court documents had previously referred to Knoll's work as "critical to the debtor's success."
Knoll was reportedly involved with Lazar when she was hired by Caesars but failed to disclose the relationship when she listed potential conflicts of interest with the bankruptcy court. The pair were reportedly rumbled after "a chance encounter in a social setting" with a government attorney during a bankruptcy conference at a Michigan resort. Knoll was removed from the Caesars investigation two weeks later.
In another Caesars bankruptcy wrinkle, a new judge has been appointed to oversee the lawsuits that junior creditors are pursuing against Caesars in Manhattan district court. Judge Shira Scheindlin, who had appeared sympathetic to the junior creditors' complaints, recently announced she would retire on April 29.
Judge Jed Rakoff, who a 2011 Wall Street Journal profile described as having a reputation for "showing little patience with delays," has handled some similarly messy court fights, including investors squabbling over scraps following the collapse of Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
Caesars recently succeeded in having two of the four New York lawsuits postponed. Proceedings in the other two suits are scheduled to commence on May 9, but whether the judge switcheroo will delay these suits remains to be seen.

What is psoriasis?
- Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that causes raised, red, scaly patches on the skin.
- Psoriasis usually affects the outside of the elbows, knees or scalp, however, it can appear anywhere on the body.
Facts about psoriatic diseases:
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, approximately 7.5 million people in the United States have psoriatic diseases. Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are chronic inflammatory immune diseases.
- Psoriasis is seen in all age groups, but mostly affects adults
- Approximately 80% of those with psoriatic disease have mild to moderate symptoms
- About 20% of people with psoriatic disease have moderate to severe symptoms
- The most common form of the condition is plaque psoriasis
- People with psoriatic disease are more likely to have Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, two types of inflammatory bowel disease
Who is at risk for psoriasis?
Genetics and Triggers
- Researchers believe about 10% of the population inherit one or more of the genes that could lead to psoriasis, but only about 2% to 3% of the population develop the disease. Scientists believe the reason is because the person with a genetic predisposition to psoriasis must be exposed to external factors known as "triggers" for the disease to become active.
- Psoriasis triggers are unique to the individual, but include stress, injury to the skin, infection and certain medications.
Risk Factors
While anyone may develop psoriasis, the following factors can increase your risk of developing the disease:
- Family history – Having a family member with psoriasis is the most significant risk factor for developing the disease.
- Viral and bacterial infections – People with HIV are more likely to develop psoriasis than those with a healthy immune system, as are children and young adults who experience recurring infections, such as strep throat
- Stress – High stress level can impact your immune system and may increase your risk of psoriasis
- Obesity – Excess weight may increase your risk of psoriasis.
- Smoking – Tobacco use increases your risk of developing the disease and may increase the severity psoriasis.
How is psoriasis diagnosed?
Although there are no blood tests or diagnostic tools to diagnose psoriasis, a dermatologist or other health care provider, such as your primary care physician can usually examine the affected skin and determine if it is psoriasis. Your healthcare provider may take a biopsy of the affected skin to examine microscopically to see if your skin looks thick and inflamed. Your doctor will also ask about your family history, since about one-third of people with psoriasis have a family member with the disease.
How is psoriasis treated?
There are a number of treatments for psoriasis. Discuss your options with your doctor and decide which therapy is right for you. Some of these options include light therapy or topical solutions (creams, ointments, etc.), which are usually the prescribed in the early stages of the disease.
Other treatments include:
Biologics – A biologic is a protein-based drug derived from living cells cultured in a laboratory. These drugs are given by injection or intravenous (IV) infusion. Rather than impacting the entire immune system, like traditional systemic drugs, biologics are more targeted. Biologics used to treat psoriatic disease block the action of a specific type of immune cell called a T cell, or block proteins in the immune system, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin 17-A, or interleukins 12 and 23. These cells and proteins all play a major role in developing psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
Coping with symptoms and living with psoriatic diseases
That National Psoriasis Foundation has published several Fact Sheets on living with psoriatic disease about topics such as managing itch, triggers and the emotional aspects of the disease.
