It's a new sort of domains that opened recently and I think their is some bug somewhere.
I tried other emails I have on the same server and they all work OK with this form.
I also tried different emails I have from mudra.club and they all don't work.

I believe it is not possible to access this information. But I will investigate further and will get back to you.

Have you tried the white-listing methods suggested by Jonathan?

Thanks for helping. I don't know what is happening, since all our others emails on this server are working just fine with JotForm.
I can't do white-listing myself, and hosting providers also denied.

Hi Matej,
How about adding email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com to your safe sender and/or contact list? Is it still not possible to your end? You can also whitelist domain and IP using Spam Assasin configuration. Please refer to this guide: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/email/fighting-spam/blacklist-whitelist
Basically, when it comes to an issue like emails were not delivered, whitelisting our IP address and Domains should help.
Try Spam Assasin and update us here for the results.

Shelby J at Dakota Aug 3rd and 4th
Some tickets still available. Some guests have been announced, including Larry Graham, Bobby Z, Paul Peterson, Jellybean, and Adrian Crutchfield.
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
Is there a write up of the shows somewhere?
Sacred is the prayer that asks 4 nothing
While seeking 2 give thanks 4 every breath we take
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
I've seen no write up in the papers or anything. I was there Friday night and it was a fun time. I bought a cheap seat in the balcony with an obstructed view knowing that there is a small standing rail up there I could hang at. Worked fine and I had a great view of the show. When I got to my table I found a CD sized picture of Shelby sitting on the table. Thought "cool" and put it in my pocket only later finding out that if you got one of these you won a prize! Mine said Tee on it so I got a free T-Shirt after the show!
A bit before 7:00 I took my place by the railing and watched the crowd. Soon Larry Graham and his family arrived and sat a a table a few feet away on the balcony. Promptly at 7:00 Shelby hit the stage and started off with "Superpower." After that she slowed it down for awhile playing more mellow songs from her album plus the one Prince song she did which was "Money Don't Matter 2 Night." Before long she started picking up the tempo again anf funking stuff up! At one point she went "off-script" and had the band improvise a bit of "Yes We Can Can." Then she gave the mic she was using to a techie and went to another mic, after a bit she said "My microphone disappeared, wonder what that can be about?" and then Larry Graham's deep voice boomed out. I looked over and the (cordless) mic was in Larry's hand and he was speaking from his balcony table. Soon Shelby asked if he could come and do a song and he said "Well, I suppose but I don't just wanna sing and I need a bass." Of course one was brought out and he said "Well, look at that! That looks like my bass!" Soon the band started kicking it and he ran downstairs strapped on the bass and they did "Release Yourself" It was FUNKY! At one point Larry, Shelby and Adrian Crutchfield on sax left the stage and wandered out through the crowd, up the stairs on one side of the balcony, accross it and down the other side, all while playing with wireless setups. Later in the set there was another special guest: Jellybean Johnson who ripped it up on guitar for a song. Set was about 90 minutes long. Fun show!

Drug Rehab Centers in Florida
Drug rehab centers in Florida understand that overcoming a drug or alcohol addiction is never easy. A range of treatment programs are needed to ensure successful discontinuation and recovery. The addiction treatment process often begins with a detoxification phase, followed by rehabilitation, relapse prevention, and aftercare support. Gender-based rehab programs have become especially popular in recent years, with women's drug rehab available on a residential or outpatient basis. These facilities offer women's rehab that includes psychotherapy programs based around women's needs, with female-exclusive accommodation and support services also available.
Women's rehab services
Women and men often turn to drugs or alcohol for very different reasons, and may also have different needs and expectations from the rehabilitation process. Common drug treatment programs available during women's rehab include sexual abuse counseling, trauma counseling, support for eating disorders, and parenting support. By treating the issues that underpin drug abuse and addiction, therapists can provide women with the practical and psychological support needed for a long and sustainable recovery.
Residential rehab for women
Rehabilitation programs in Florida are typically conducted after detox, with counseling programs available once patients are sober and ready to embrace the rest of the addiction recovery process. Rehab is available on a residential or outpatient basis, with both types of programs offering advantages over the other. Also known as inpatient rehab, residential programs involve a live-in arrangement while the patient receives therapy. Women's rehab programs often provide a female-exclusive environment, with female counselors and peers able to support women as they recover. This exclusive environment is important for women who are recovering from domestic or sexual violence in particular.
Parenting issues
Female-based rehab programs often provide comprehensive support for parents, with family therapy available alongside practical childcare programs and schooling. Family therapy is an important aspect of many rehabilitation regimes, with therapists working with entire family groups to help analyze and alter unhealthy family dynamics. Female-exclusive residential programs may also provide access to childcare and schooling, with women often unable to receive help unless the needs of their children have been met.
If you or a loved one needs help with abuse and/or treatment, please call the WhiteSands Treatment at (877) 855-3470. Our addiction specialists can assess your recovery needs and help you get the addiction treatment that provides the best chance for your long-term recovery.

Sunday lunch. We tried multiple appetizers this time. Hot. Cold. Cheese. Meat. Vegetables. All superbly made and delicious. Our waiter offers a couple of tastings of wine to help us choose a few glasses to enjoy over lunch. Very relaxing. A great place to enjoy a leisurely lunch with family on the weekend.
Great restaurant in the neighborhood, thank you. Friendly atmosphere, prompt attention, and the food is always delicious. The full selection of Greek wines completes the dining experience. See you soon again.
Dr. Anez
We enjoyed another outstanding meal . Food was delicious and authentic Greek cuisine.
Wait staff are attentive , helpful and very friendly
Simply the best...better than all the rest! Everything is perfect at Our Mom Eugenia's...service is spot on, food is outstanding, and the wine list is superb. If you haven't tried this place you are really missing a wonderful evening out. Go see for yourself...you won't be disappointed...honest...
Always great service, superb food, a wonderful place to enjoy an evening. Everyone has an enjoyable time at OME, the noise level indicates happy sociable diners having a good time eating wonderful food looked over by an attentive staff. OME is my FAVORITE place!
An excellent menu of traditional Greek specialties. I particularly enjoyed my chicken skewer appetizer-the perfect size for lunch, along with a traditional Greek salad. The latter is plenty for two. Have not had anything that was less than wonderful.
Excellent food, good service but very high noise level. Bring ear plugs.
Great food. Knowledgeable and efficient service. The right touch. First time we were there and it will be one of many visits. We were not alone so it obviously has many admirers
The Our Mom Eugenia was recommended by a family member and totally met our expectations. The service and dishes were excellent. My wife had the swordfish and I the lamb jobs. They were cooked perfectly. For desert we had baclava and rice pudding. Both were good, but the rice pudding was the best.
Terrific Greek food and great people. A more informal -- and less beuatiful -- setting than the comparable Nostos in Tyson's Corner and not a neighborhood bargain restaurant in pricing. The service is excellent and friendly.
This was our first time at Our Mom Eugenia's. The staff was exceptional, from the host to the wait staff. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. He was there when needed, but not 'hovering'. All of the food was well seasoned and prepared. The traditional Greek salad (no lettuce) was great as was the bronzino, expertly de-boned tableside. The lamb chops were also excellent. In-house wine list is just ok, but they allow corkage, but at $25/btl it is a little high for the area.
Without hesitation, we would and do recommend Our Mom Eugenia to friends and anyone visiting the Great Falls & surrounding area. The food is delicious, the wine list superb, and the warm, attentive, friendly wait staff add to the experience. This is the best restaurant that has come to the area!!!
Great dinner and service!
Open table reservation said free pita and favs dip if reservation was before 5PM
Our reservation was at 445
We received no free appetizer as noted but rather we were charged
Flim flam by open table and restaurant
Set up
Excellent service from Chris at lunch. Food was extraordinarily delicious.
Another outstanding dinner! Great Greek food and friendly atmosphere.
We loved the eggplant dip, mixed grill, lamb chops and potatoes. Everything was excellent (including service), except the baklava. Phyllo is supposed to be crisp, but it wasn't. Definitely will be back - this was my second visit.
OME is a favorite restaurant for my family. The food, the wine list, and the service are all outstanding. The Greek meatballs and flaming cheese are two of my favorites, and the lamb never disappoints. If Greek cuisine had room for chocolate, I'd probably love their desserts too! I highly recommend this restaurant!
Food was delicious, service was great! Prices were reasonable. I went on a Tuesday. It was not loud. we went for my friend's birthday. She really enjoyed it and will schedule her son's birthday there in a couple of weeks.
Great service and great food.
Very friendly staff and the food was the best Greek food we have had since 2017 when we were on vacation in Greece.
The food was awesome and the service was so thoughtful and friendly. We had a great book club get together.
Brought a couple friends with me this time, both of them "foodies" and they raved about the place and plan to become regulars.
Although i had commented that we were celebrating a birthday when I made the reservation, no recognition of the birthday person was given. Two other tables received a candle topped treat for their special occasion. Needless to say, we and the birthday girl were disappointed.
Good dinner with friends. My husband & I shared the branzino & it was delicious. Topped the meal off with galaktoboureko (Greek custard pie). It was warmed up so was creamy & yummy. It was a great place to meet some of our friends. It was a bit noisy.
Amazing food and service!! Fantastic flavors and a quaint, casual atmosphere. Loved it!!
Wondeful as always!
Always great food and fun night out. Tnasis (server) makes it most enjoyable and provides outstanding service.
Great food and excellent service
This place never disappoints. Food is authentic Greek. Service is warm, friendly and impeccable. Clean, quaint neighborhood place - with high quality Greek food and no pretenses.
Highly recommend for an enjoyable dinner w/ friends or casual date night.
They are always so good with service and hands down Momma is the best cook!
If you want the real deal, this place is it. Literally everything is made from scratch with a flair of home made authenticity. Bring you AMEX cause it isn't cheap, but well worth it for any occasion.
Our server, Theo, did a wonderful job of helping us decide what to order, which wines to pick, etc. Our food was quite good (my salmon was a bit under cooked but otherwise great). My wife's lamb dish was quite good. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return.
Good service and good food. Very accomodating to a big party
We are stuffed. The portions were huge and so good. A lot of nicer Greek places are kind of somber, even morose. Not this place. There service staff were friendly, bright and almost effusive. Great wine. The main courses had so much flavor. We can't wait to come back.
I am glad that I accidentally found this authentic Greek restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I will definitely return to this restaurant.
We had a number of small plates. Giganta beans, beets, meatballs, calamari, chicken skewers and a marinated seafood salad special. All of them were delicious. Entrees were excellent too. Loved our server Onassis.
I've enjoyed many items on the menu as well as their specials and all are expertly prepared and delicious. Great atmosphere that comes from a family run restaurant that pays attention to every detail
Accommodating for our toddlers allergies. They don't explicitly have a children's menu but there are plenary of hearty appetizers that are generous kids portions. The grilled octopus was excellent!
This place is awesome! The food is absolutely delicious and the service was top notch. We are already looking forward to dining there again.
Excellent service. Outstanding appetizers and entrees.


text: The Raleigh Hotel in South Beach, Miami is my ultimate fav hotel mainly for it's true art deco ambiance and 1950's decor. I first discovered the hotel in my 20's when my friends and I were visiting Miami Beach during memorial day weekend (A BIG NO NO!). We ended up spending all of our time by the Raleigh pool hiding from the ruckus outside South Beach. Fast forward ... We visited for the day during my bachelorette last year hanging by the pool, drinking the ever so classic mint julep's in a steel cup no less. One of my favorite inspiring environments, here's what I would pack if I were to jet out next week to the Raleigh Hotel and lounge poolside. P.S. I'm a huge fan of Australian brand Zimmerman.

rf,rdmg to M. Bauche, between William's Sound and Mount St. Elias. The Russians and Captain Cook have not observed it, because it is very narrow. But it is to be wished, that this important discovery should be verified, which has been overlooked for two centuries, in spite of the attempts which have been made on these coasts. M. Bauche calls this vassage the Straits of Ferrer.
I. ALL food, or subsistence for mankind, arises from the earth or waters.
2. Necessaries of life that are not foods, and all other conveniences, have their value estimated by the proportion of food consumed while we are employed in procuring them.
3. A small people with a large territory, may subsist on the productions of nature, with no other labour than that of gathering the vegetables and catching the animals.
4. A large people with a small territory, find these insufficient; and, to subsist, must labour the earth, to make it produce greater quantities of vegetable food, suitable to the nourishment of men, and of the animals they intend to eat
5. From this labour arises a great increase of vegetable and animal food, and of materialsforclothing; as flax, wool, silks, &.c. The superfluity of these is wealth. With this wealth we pay forthe labour em ployed in building our houses, cities, &c. which are therefore only subsistence thus metamorphosed.
6. Manufactures are only another shape into which so much provisions and subsistence are turned, as were in value equal to the manufactures produced. This appears from hence, that the manufacturer does not, in fact, obtain from the employer. fci tiis labour, more than a mere subsistence, incfuo ing raiment, fuel, and shelter; all which derive their value from the provisions consumed in procuring them.
7. The produce of the earth, thus converted into manufactures, may be more easily carried into distant markets, than before such conversion.
8. Fair commerce is where equal values are exchanged for equal, the expense of transport included. Thus, if it costs A in England, as much lat charge to raise a bushel of wheat, asit cr. France to produce four gallons of wine, then gallons of wine the fair exchange for a b;. wheat, A and B meeting at half distance wi commodities to make the exchange. The advantage of this fair commerce is, that each party increases the number of his enjoyments, having, instead of wheat alone, or wine alone, the use of both wheat and wine.
9. Where the labour and expense of producing both commodities are known to both parties, bargains will generally be fair and equal. Where they are known to one party only, bargains will often be unequal, knowledge taking its advantage of ignorpnec.
I0. Thus he that carries a thousand bushels of wheat abroad to sell, may not probably obtain so great a profit thereon, as if he had first turned the wheat into manufactures, by subsisting therewith the workmen while producing those manufactures, since there are many expediting and facilitating
, methods of working, not generally known, and strangers to the manufactures, though they know pretty well the expense of raising wheat, are unacquainted with those short methods of working; and thence, being apt to suppose more labour employe I n the manufacture than there really is, are more easily imposed on in their value, and induced to allow more for them than they are honestly worth.
11. Thus the advantage of having manufactures in a country does not consist, as is commonly supposed, in their highly advancing the value of rough materials, of which they are formed; since, though sixpennyworth of flax may be worth twenty shillings wnen worked into lace, yet^ii.e yerj cause of its being worth twenty shillings is that, besides the flax, it has cost nineteen shillings and sixpence in subsistence to the manufin-turer. But the advantage of manufactures, *, ihat, under their shape, provisions may be more easily carried to a foreign market; and by their means our traders may more easily cheat strangers. Few, where it is not made, are judges of the value of lace. The importer may demand forty, end perhaps get thirty shillings for that which cost him but twenty.
12. Finally, there seems to be but three ways for a nation to acquire wealth. The first is by war, as the Romans did, in plundering their conquered neighbours; this is robbery.—The second by commerce,which is generally cheating.—The third by agriculture, the only honest way, wherein man receives a real increase of the seed thrown into the ground, in a k nrt of continual miracle, wrought hy (he hand of God in his favour, as a reward for his jmwenf 'tfi >*A his virtuous industry.
PREMMINART ADDRESS TO THE PEHNSTLV AlllA AL-
I Have heard, that nothing gives an author so great pleasure as to find his works respectfully quoted by other learned authors. This pleasure I have seldom enjoyed; for though I have been, if I may say it without vanity, an eminent author (of Almanacs) annually now a full quarter of a century, my brother authors in the same way (for what reason I know not) have ever been very sparing in their applauses; and no other author has taken the least notice of me: so that, did not my writings produce me some solid pudding, the great deficiency of praise would have quite discouraged me.
I concluded, at length, that the people were the best judges of my merit, for they buy my works; and, besides, in my rambles, where I am not personally known, I have frequently heard one or other of my adages repeated, with "as poor Richard says," at the end on't. This gave me some satisfaction, as it showed aot only that my instructions were regarded, but discovered likewise some respect for my authority; and I own, that, to encourage the practice of remembering and repeating those wise sentences, I have sometimes quoted myself with great gravity.
Judge then how much I have been gratified by an incident which I am going to relate to you. I stopped my horse lately where a great number of people were collected at an auction of merchants' goods. The hour of sale not being come, they were conversing on the badness of the times; and one of the company called to a plain, clean, old man, with whito locks, "Pray, father Abraham, what think ye of the Umes? Won't these heavy taxes quite ruin the country? How shall we be ever able to pay them f What would you advise us to?" Father Abraham stood up, and replied,—"If you'd have my advice, I'll give it to you in short; 'for a word to the wise is enough; and many words wont fill a bushel,' as poor Richard says." They joined in desiring him to speak his mind; and, gathering round him, he proceeded as follows:
"Friends (says he) and neighbours, the taxes am shdeed very heavy; and if those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly; and from these taxes the commissioners cannot ease or deliver us, by allowing an abatement. However, let us hearken to good advice, and something may be done for us; 'God helps them that help themselves,'as poor Richard says in his Almanac.
"It would be thought a hard government that should tax its people one-tenth part of their time, to be employed in its service; but idleness taxes many of us much more, if we reckon all'that is spent in absolute sloth, or doing of nothing, with that which is spent in idle employments, or amusements that amount to nothing. Sloth, by bringing on diseases, absolutely shortens life. 'Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labour wears, while the key often used is always bright,'as poor Richard says. 'But dost thou love life? then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of,' as poor Richard says. How i inunh more than is necessary do we spend in sleep • iirgetting, that ' the sleeping fox catches no poultry, and that there will be sleeping enough in the grave,' as poor Richard says. 'If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be (as poor Richard says) the greatest prodigality;' since, as he elsewhere tells us, 'Lost time is never found again; and what we call time enough, always proves little enough.' Let us then up and be doing, and doing to the purpose: so by diligence shall we domore with.

ODMs NEC and NEB with their inactions is likely to let the following seats go away from them. I mean with their INACTIONS.
1. Nyatike- If the party insinsts on giving the certificate to OMONDI ANYANGA,his closest challenger TOM ODEGE may decide to go independent and beat him.
2. Rarieda- My research shows NETO ADHOLA is more popular than the former OMBUDSMAN. Thou the party seems comfortable with OTIENDE AMOLO than ADHOLA. This MAY cause the party so much in the long run.
3. MIGORI- Governor Zachary Okoth Obado is loved and hated in equal measure…..hated mostly by non Migorians but the guy is more popular than the highly hyped OCHILO AYACKO. My research shows,even if denied the party certificate by the power barons at the Orange house and decides to go independent, Obado will still triumph. He's the most popular candidate.
4. BUSIA- You all heard the chants, " NO Otuoma no Raila…" that's what tells you what's there in store for the party from the electorates. People can vote in protest of the wrong party decision they can make about OTUOMA.In the unlikely event that ODM hands the certificate to OJAMONG then expect the following governors in Western because of the Busia ripple effect; 1. Busia – ANC – OTUOMA, 2. Vihiga- Akaranga, 3. Kakamega- Khalwale and 4.Bungoma- Ford Kenya
It may happen and you know that it can go further than this affecting the overall tally.
5. MUHORONI- I still doubt if ODMs preferred candidate, prof Ayiecho Olweny has redeemed himself enough to recapture this seat from Koyoo. If proper measurers are not taken,Muhoroni will continue to be under a foreign party.
6. KISUMU WEST- This constituency is under the able leadership of a renowned lawyer in ALUOCH OLAGHO. Olagho was shortchanged by the party in the previous elections and decamped to Ford Kenya. He's still in Ford for ODM to reclaim the seat,they must front a stronger candidate than Olagho
7. Kwale County- I just don't know how ODM handled Mwakere when he defected to the party but be assured,the day Mwakere defected from Odm to Wiper is the day the gubernatorial seat eclipsed our movement.
8. Nyali- This is one of the most delicate seats for Odm. Railas project jicho pevu and Joho's Saido are out to battle it. Any defection after party primaries may cost Odm this seat.

Looking for some inspiration for your Xmas Eve dinner table? Look no further!
Some commonalities: candles, rich greenery, and wood.
I also like the printed menu on the plate. You could look for a template to download on etsy or create your own on the computer.
Wouldn't you love to have dinner at one of these?

Yesterday (December 17) we had a EPIC day at Sugarloaf. The 6" received during the day on Saturday on top of the 8" from earlier in the week, plus the cold snowmaking temps over the last few
|It was fresh snow all day at Sugarloaf (Dec 17, 2016)
Reports from all over Maine have been excellent. Sunday River, Mt. Abram, Lost Valley, Big Rock, Shawnee Peak all have great coverage and terrain open. While today's weather is mixed and messy, more cold weather is in the forecast and conditions should bounce back quickly. On the right sidebar of the blog I have added a link to get up to date Maine ski area mountain reports directly from their respective websites.
My youngest son took advantage of his closer proximity to Sugarloaf (he is a freshman at Thomas College in Waterville) and got in a powder day at Sugarloaf on Monday December 12th as well. After last year's miserable season, it is great to see skiing in Maine off to such a strong start!
Here are a couple of our video compilations from our two recent powder days. Enjoy the videos and all of us @MaineSkiFamily wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year... and Happy Skiing!

Auditing is great.
It can also be a waste of time, and money.
Audit firms cook up a load of audit procedures to inspect and analyse the books of a company and charge a ton of cash for the time their itsy-bitsy audit clerk sits and scrolls through countless transactions.
And at the end of the day, unless there is some obvious non-disclosure or irregular entry, the audit is an exercise in futility and wastefulness.
Well, at least that's how the South African legislators must have seen it when they rehashed the Companies Act in 2008, as they effectively removed the audit requirement for companies turning over less than R100,000,000.
But if R100m, why R100m, and not R50m, or R500m for that matter?
Which begs the question, WHY AUDIT AT ALL?
via ALastResearch
Local Government Minister Brandon Lewis said:
The decision to abolish the Audit Commission was because it was a wasteful, ineffective and undemocratic. What should have been a voice for taxpayers became a creature of the central state.
Instead of just auditing accounts: it was regulating, micromanaging, and inspecting, forcing councils to spend time ticking boxes and filling in forms rather than getting on with the business of local government.
Our new law will replace this old fashioned quango by passing power down to people through more local choice and transparency. Better local audit arrangements will replace central dictat.

Taron Egerton, the young breakout star of "Kingsman: The Secret Service," has used his official Twitter account to release the first teaser poster for the upcoming sequel "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" which begins production shortly.
The one-sheet surprisingly drops a potential spoiler – that Colin Firth's Harry Hart may be returning. Firth's involvement was unclear considering the fate of his character in the first one, but the rumor has been there. This poster isn't a confirmation, but subsequent trade reports and a tweet from reliable journo Borys Kit have confirmed that Firth will return.
Matthew Vaughn helms the new film which is due out next year.

Tool Tips
Car Axel Stands
Wednesday, 1 May 2013 12:34:40 am Australia/Sydney
Car axel stands are one of the most important safety devices you can have whilst working on a vehicle which has been lifted off the ground with a jack. Under no circumstance should a vehicle be left supported by a jack as jacks fail and creep. Once a vehicle has been lifted to the appropriate height a set of car axel stands should be adjusted then placed under an appropriated load bearing point of the underside of the vehicle and the vehicle lowered allowing the vehicle support stands to take the load. once vehicle is safely supported on the car axels stands it is safe to work under. Using car axel stands servers two purposes, the first and most important one is personal safety creating a safe environment to work under the vehicle and secondly which most people don't really appreciate is jacks are only designed to lift and lower vehicle not support them by leaving the jack loaded for prolonged periods of time places undue stress and wear on the jack dramatically shorting the expected working life of the jack.
Gasweld offers a range of car axel stands which are manufactured and comply with the current Australian standards which not only makes them safe to use but they can be used anywhere and on any site. click here to see our range of car axel stands.

Music Genres
Learning music is not an easy job and it does not come naturally to every human being. A person who has a gift in music or what we so call a music prodigy will not progress unless he is honed and supported. Learning music takes time and effort and a lot of interest to keep going.
It is very easy to love music. You can be great music lover and also have a fine knowledge about various types of music and can even perform and make one. It is easy to love music but choosing and identifying the good music from the badly composed ones is the real measurement of how one understands the art of music.
There are various kinds of music available right now that appeal to the younger generation and even some of the people from the old generation have come to like new music styles and genres that are popular today due to their novel approach to music.
Music genre simply refers to styles of music. Examples of genre include popular styles like rock, country, reggae, classical, jazz and many more as well as some sub-genres. If you want to work in the music industry, you must be able to understand the different genres in order to know which style is appropriate and identify music.
With today's advancement in music, a lot of genres have been introduced along with the new tools used to produce them. From the classics, pop, blues, hiphop, RnB, jazz, acoustic, ballad and other genres that we long know of, music nowadays have been revolutionized. The list of new music genres grows as people discover something new which influences how music moves people and how people moves the music that we have now.
Some of the new music genres enjoyed by people today are Electronic Dance Music (EDM) which is a broad range of percussive electronic music genre produced largely for club music; Country Dance Music (CDM) which is a genre composed of electronic music with folk or country-like melodies; Dubstazz which is a combination of jazz and electronic music; Trap music which is a sub-genre of southern hiphop that is characterized by aggressive lyrical content incorporated by heavy percussion music. The list of possible genres that would emerge is huge due to advancement of how music can be made. Most of the new genres today are combinations of styles that have become unique in many ways.
The Power of Meaningful Words and Music
Music is undeniably powerful. It makes us feel things that we sometimes can't describe. It makes us happy, makes us smile, excited, sad, cry in bliss or sorrow and makes us dance and sing along. A simple song can bring back a memory like we are actually living in the moment. Music unbelievably can change our mood at an instant.
It is known to us that different genres can make or break your mood and we might all have experienced that first hand. Music can impact our focus and has a significant effect on our overall emotional state. In fact, music has been used for a long time now as a therapeutic tool to improve mood, change energy levels and help people who are undergoing illness as well as emotional trauma.
It is an effective coping strategy that we use to uplift our spirits when we are down or just simply feeling lazy and unmotivated. By playing songs that are happy and upbeat, we tend to dance with it as an effect of the energy it gives.
If you notice, whenever you hear a catchy song or beat anywhere, you sometimes can't help but stomp your feet to the music and get carried away with the vibe. A one boring Monday work morning can sometimes become a lively one after listening to a song that is motivational to help you keep up with work until it's finally a TGIF. It's amazing how music helps in changing our mood and life's emotional decisions in an instant.
Unquestionably, music touches our emotions up to the deepest core. We listen to music that reflects our current mood. When we are happy, we listen to upbeat songs. When angry, we tend to listen to loud, dark and heavy songs to release some tension. And when we are sad, we listen to sad songs. Like when experiencing heartbreaks, some even have a breakup playlist to cope up with the sadness and pain in their hearts. In contrast when you are in love, you listen to a lot of love songs in celebration of the love you are feeling and even dedicate a particular song to your better half.
Every piece of music is a representation of the musician of that particular music. Music does not necessarily need words to be understood. For instance a piano piece does not say in words as the other alternative music, as a result the one that listens to the music needs to internalize what he hears and try to perceive the message the pianist or musician is trying to convey. It's amusing how music doesn't need words to relay the deepest messages we keep within us.
It's amazing how music speaks to the soul. How the lyrics encompasses our deepest emotions through the message it speaks and how stories are made through simply sung words and unchained melodies. It is unknowing how music can speak of our lives, our emotions, our deepest inhibitions, faults and secrets and how it can turn our lives another way around. It is amazing how music transforms us, and how it makes us.

Answer: One Resolution for Caregivers –52 Chances to Make It Work
Ahh the New Year is here – the hectic pace of the holidays is over, the frenzy over buying gifts and seeing friends and family is done (at least for another 12 months). You can finally breathe. That is, unless you are one of the 65 million Americans who are caring for a loved one – that moment to put the world on "pause" and get a break never seems to happen.
When it comes to caring for an older parent, a chronically ill spouse or a child with special needs, we know that caregivers are at risk for adopting bad habits such as smoking or drinking, for not getting enough sleep, for not having the time to eat or exercise right and for not taking enough time to focus on themselves – whether it is a coffee date with a friend, a pedicure, a movie or other things that can bring a smile to our face.
This is why my wish for all caregivers this year is to make a promise to yourself that you can keep. Make it simple. Make it just about you. Here are some tips on how to get there:
3 Steps to Keep That Promise to Yourself
1. First of all, you need to have an actual plan. If you just have a desire to improve something, it is not enough. You will be more successful at achieving your goal if you have steps on how to get there. For instance, it is not about losing weight – it is about the changes you will take to reach that goal. Breaking a big goal into small increments is a key part of your plan.
2. In addition, you need to track your progress. This instills a sense of mini accomplishments on the path to your goal. It helps to talk to someone who is invested in seeing you be successful. Having a friend or other support person who can be your "cheerleader" – celebrating your milestones towards the goal can help keep you going.
3. Lastly, be committed to your goal. Keep it simple (one resolution is better than two or three) and treat occasional "slips" as temporary setbacks on the path to reaching your goal. You have to commit to change. This is a marathon not a sprint. Be kind to yourself if you have a bad day that makes you reach for the chocolate. Remember the words of Scarlett O'Hara, "Tomorrow is another day." Start fresh the next day after a lapse.
My Answer: Me Time MondaySM
I had the luck of meeting with a non-profit organization that I thought had a brilliant idea. It is called Healthy Monday – based on scientific research and the support of prestigious institutions such as Johns Hopkins University, Syracuse University and Columbia University, they have found that starting a new routine on a Monday will make you more successful at whatever you want to achieve. Essentially the premise is simple – just as the New Year is a time when we resolve to do something, every Monday is an opportunity to renew that promise to ourselves.
Healthy Monday says their research shows that most Americans feel Monday is the day for a fresh start. It is part of our cultural DNA – Monday is the start of the work week, the school week and we feel renewed energy to start something after a nice weekend respite.
For caregivers, I believe using the Monday point in time to remind you of "what have I done for me lately?" would make sense. Whether it is 5 minutes or 5 hours – it does not matter. Check in with yourself every Monday and take time for you.
I was thrilled when Healthy Monday created a specific Caregivers' Monday campaign. They are part of a national movement to get our society focused on the value of family caregivers and the need to help caregivers stay healthy themselves.
Fifty-two weeks to reach your goal. Pick one thing that you would like to accomplish just for you this year. Check in with yourself every Monday. And, tell me what your "Me Time" tip is – I will include it in future videos and blogs. Good luck – 2012 is your year!

38 Responses to "How to Keep the Promise We Make To Ourselves This Year"
Very few of us really ever keep our new years resolutions for very long because they are hopes that are soon trapped by the negative cold january that follows. Studies show each year that Jan 17 is the most depressing day of the year when we have nothing to look forward to for months and we have spent lots of money at christmas and are in debt.
Not the greatest month to be resolute about difficult challenges.
My view is to keep your initial new years resolution easy and build on it throughout the year. Increase exercise as trainers tell us to by gently warming up with a brisk walk and see how much better we feel as a result and then we can build that into a jog as the weather improves. Instead of drastic diets try to cut out fatty foods two days a week to begin with. Rome wasn't built in a day and so we can all build on our goals by breaking them down into managable chunks.
I hope this helps a few people.
great blog, Sherri. Those of us who are caregivers often put our needs at the bottom of the list. I appreciate the idea to keep it simple and measurable and committing to it each week. So far, my resolutions are looking good but it takes working on it every day and remembering why it's important.
Vicki: Give yourself a pat on the back – you have succeeded at the first steps – making the resolution and committing to it every week – I wish you the best of luck all year on meeting your goals and embracing the fact that caring for yourself is as important as caring for your loved one!
I've been caring for my mom, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in the spring of 2009. This past Christmas, I bought myself an e-reader tablet, which I have loaded with books, magazines, and games. I use it to take a mental break when I need it….even if it's just 10 minutes at a time, reading a book or doing a crossword puzzle, The 10 minute increments really help, and by the end of the day I'm not as tense.
Ronnie – what a great tip!! This is what I call putting "tech to work for you"! Thanks for sharing!
I have just begun as caregiver to my husband of almost 28 years. I am not even sure where to begin. I was teaching up until 2 weeks ago at the high school level. Now I feel lost…
Bonnie – first of all – I'm sending you a big e-hug! Caregiving can be confusing and overwhelming but there is hope! If you search on the Alzheimer's site (alz.org) – they have many, many caregiving resources to help. It also helps to talk to others who are going through the same thing – sometimes friends and family are supportive but they just don't get it. There are online support groups and I find a lot of sharing among caregivers on Facebook sites. Alzheimer's Association has a great Facebook community and Caregiving Club does as well. Post your feelings and thoughts there and watch the circle of care surround you on your caregiving journey! Hugs!
Thanks, Sherri. I found your blog via facebook. Unfortunately, our families do not live close to us. So I am the main caregiver. I am on leave from work to be able to provide his 24/7 care as required by the doctor. I also do not want to miss this time with him. It has been amazing how quickly he has started to decline. He was diagnosed 3 years ago, but the last several weeks he went from independent to needing lots of care.
I am trying to find ideas and support.
I'm a caregiver for my wife who has severe demensia, which I believe is a catch all phrase by some Dr.s is we don't have a clue how to treat it cause we dont know how to cure it!! But my new I've found for her is hopefully really going to help me and my wife and my ability to take care of her!!! I'm a cancer survivor wich I believe I got due to the stress of my wife actions over the last 11 years that I now she as symtoms of her demensia!!
Any Advice? Can;t wiat for your book
Good luck Richard. I am a caregiver for my husband.
Gina – any tips you have for Richard and others? Sometimes we think caregiving is only about our older parents but as more and more of us will live longer – caregiving for a spouse is almost inevitable. The Alzheimer's Assoc says that 1 of every 2 people over age 85 will develop Alzheimer's or related dementia – any way we can help each other through this long caregiving journey is appreciated!
I care for my husband who has diabetes and alzheimer's and my mom who is 95 and has a strong mind. I am overwhelmed sometimes. But I also have a kindle and I read and play games, and sometimes I take a day off, and although I'm still here with my mom and husband, I read, do my nails, and hair and generally take care of myself that day. Yes, I also care for them, but in my mind it's my day off.
Since my mother had a stkroe last March while I was in Florida. Unfortunately my sister didn't take her to the hospital, so she suffered significant paralysis to her left side. I suspect she will never regain any real use of her limbs. Consequently, we have been engulfed in acclimating how to manage her healthcare as well as her need to be at home. She's at the nursing home during the week and my sister and I share the weekend with her at home I live and work an hour away -ugh! We do fairly well, but I have had to learn to allow my sister to manage the decision for the most part even though I am the one working in healthcare. I found it helps to defer those responsibilities to her and just be the sister and daughter they both need me to be.We lost my father 8 years ago after two onsets of lung cancer. That caring situation didn't go very well. I took on more than fifty percent of his care even changed jobs at half the salary to be with him and I'm glad I did. I learned from that experience. I realized death will come, it's what we do during the journey that makes it hard or easier for us after they're gone.
I'm a 65 year old care giver of my wife who has some kind of severe demensia!! I've taken care of her for the last 6 years while I was recovering from Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Mantel Cell I had in 07! Good news is that I'm cured and have my full life span back!! Bu tnow what I need is some sort of caregiver support out here in Hemet Ca!!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and I can't wait for your new book!!
Richard – you are a caregiver and a survivor! I have a great suggestion that may help you – there is a wonderful Web site that will help you create an online personal and private community of care – it is called Lotsa Helping Hands <a href="http://(www.lotsahelpinghands.com)" target="_blank">(www.lotsahelpinghands.com). A lot of caregivers have found that family and friends want to volunteer to help but don't know how to get started – and you are so overwhelmed with caregiving for your wife you don't have time to coordinate all that care! What you do is create a community online – it has a calendar where you can fill in times when you need a break or activities where you need help, invite your family and friends and – HELP is on the way. I'll be doing a Webinar for Lotsa Helping Hands in February that talks about spousal caregiving – check my Caregiving Club Facebook site for the date and details and hope you can join us!
Suggesting a brief pause on Mondays as we're already in the mode of thinking and planning for the week has just the right amount of achievability that makes me think I can actually do this one thing for ME –what a thought! Thank you for caring about us. I will try…
Debbie: Good for you – sometimes all this advice is great but it is hard work (and the last thing caregivers need is more work!). I'm here cheering on your effort to make Monday your point in time to focus on you! Good luck!
I love the "Me Time Monday" tips. We all start out big with our New Year Resolutions. And, when we inevitably steer away from them the first time, it can feel like we're ruined the whole point of it. Mondays can be a fresh start. And I like Sherri's tip of setting small goals, or redefining them, like with her weight loss suggestion. It can be framed not so much as "losing weight", rather cutting out the mid-afternoon run on the fridge, and grabbing a bottle of water instead. Thanks for your sound advice, Sherri. I'll look for your blog regularly.
I am in the early stages of caregiving with my mom. I am so thrilled to know I will have a resources to get me through it – including Me Time Monday! I believe this is the Tipping Point – so thank you for being ahead of the curve!
Gretchen – sometimes caregiving can be a long journey – that is why it is so important to not lose yourself as your life gets thrown a curve ball! It is so hard to do but maintaining balance – whether it's an exercise routine, having a walk or coffee with a friend, seeing a movie, eating almonds instead of Almond Joys – whatever is just about "Gretchen Time" and keeping Gretchen healthy and happy – is the key to being the best caregiver you can be for you mom. Good luck!
I work as a caregiver doing 1;1 with a gal who has epilepsy and also has what is called explosive compulsive disorder. Plus I also help my daughter who is disabled, and am there for my 84 year old mom with alzehimers. I need respit care but never have the time. life is hard but I keep going.
Sherri- thank you for your article.
Would you allow us to put the article in our local Alzheimer's newsletter please as I think it is so helpful for caregivers.Many of them do not have internet access
Anyone out there ….My Husband of 39 years, Jim, is 59 years old. He has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers disease. He can not talk..really he is in the last stage can not do anything..I need help understanding what he is feeling. Annette
I just lost my husband to Alzheimers. I only wish that I had concentrated on finding help way before I did. It would have been better for my husband and better for me. There is help out there. Just start making calls and you will find one lead will lead to so many others. People who work in this field are very special dedicated people. They are equipped with a strength that gives them so much knowledge along with kindness for the patient and the caregiver. They can help you. The professionals I met have changed my life for the better. My husband and I were blessed to know them.
September 8, 2010Let me be the first to express .Aargh! Family cavgrirees who don't let it be known to their church family or anyone else for that matter, could be ashamed of their situation, they are probably afraid to let it be known. The normal responses a caregiver elicits when they tell people are enough to make them turn grey and run. Our church has not just those who are being cared for, but cavgrirees as well. It was one of the first things that was known about me when I started going there. Support, love and understanding from all. I have never held back at anytime during the years I cared for mom. I was actually proud because I knew what a formidable job I had, and that I had taken it on.If a church does not know that they have cavgrirees, or carees in their congregation, then someone better step up with the greeting and getting to know you areas! What about home visitations to visitors or members? Does that not occur anymore? Thanks Denise, you gave me a mini soapbox platform lol.
Whether you do Me Time Monday or Free Time Friday, you MUST take care of yourself or you'll have nothing but resentment to give you your loved one. I'd say this is just my humble opinion, but studies have proved it. Great post, Sherri. Thanks for sharing it.

While the concept of "Me Time Monday" would be helpful to some, I don't think it is applicable in our case. At 86 and 87 years of age and approaching our 58th year of wedded bliss, we don't recognize "time or date" as everyone else does. What's Monday? Another day for us! We take every day as it comes and roll with it. We get up at 10 or 11 and start our day with my giving my much loved wife her bath and dress her. "Breakfast" which I prepare might be over at 2 or 3 p.m. unless we have appointments with the Hospice nurse or hairdresser for her weekly appointment. Then she is down for a long nap until perhaps 8 or 9 p.m. Up to watch a little TV on PBS while she enjoys a bottle of Boost, crackers and cheese, yogurt and fruit (and I grab a bite to eat) and then in bed about midnight. Then I take a shower and get to bed. Keep a positive attitude and lots of love. I'm grateful to have her with me .
I like the idea of Monday time, I am a caregiver for my mom and as we all know it is overwhelming at times,
but recently started going to Zoomba classes on Monday & Tuesday, this is my time and for 1 hour each night I forget about everything and concentrate on myself..my health, and it helps relieve my tensions and I am getting exercise at the same time.
As my 87 year old father's primary caregiver, I find it extremely difficult to find any time for myself! He has advanced Alzheimer's and is becoming more and more aggressive as each day passes. Let's face it, there are extremely few volunteers out there who are willing to help out with Alzheimer's patients and caregivers cost a arm and a leg. I work part time because I cannot afford to pay for a caregiver for more than 4 hours a day. The other 20 hours I'm responsible for all his needs. It's not easy, but that's life I guess. I must go now because even as I type this, my father is once again heading towards the door! Alzheimer's is a terrible disease!!!!
This post is not only for Caregivers. This post is an inspiration for each and everyone. Just by thinking or imagining, nothing is going to happen. One has to take action on the plan designed to get something. One has to work hard to achieve something.
Almost 20 years ago, I lost my first wife to colon cancer. I wish I'd known then what I've eanrled from Kay Marshall Strom's excellent Caregiver's Survival book. Like many people suddenly caught up in the role of caregiver, I was unprepared mentally, physically, and emotionally for the role. I did my best then, but it was far short of what I could have done for her, for the children, and for myself had I only known. My hope now is that this book will find its way to where it's needed: to those facing the prospect of providing the primary care for a loved one in failing health, so that this extremely painful journey can be made more tolerable by Ms. Strom's tender, Christian insights and advice. She connects to the reader by laying bare her own doubts and hardships in more than 7 years of caring for her terminally ill husband. Her book is filled with the dignity, respect, and hope that, through God's inspiration, can be developed in even the most hopeless of cases.
Wow, incredible blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you make blogging look easy. The overall look of your website is wonderful, let alone the content!. Thanks For Your article about How to Keep the Promise We Make To Ourselves This Year » Alzheimer's Association | Blog .
I am 38 years old and caring for my mother whom I love with all my heart and soul. I just feel like my mom took care of me all my life and never questioned helping me I feel bad when I feel like I need a break. I work full time (which I am truly happy to have a job) but I work for someone that tries their best to break me down as much as possible. When I come home sometimes I just want to sit in my room but I feel like I am a horrible daughter for wanting me time. I don't recall my mother asking for me time so I feel like I shouldn't ask for it. I have sisters that do help and want to help more but sometimes I feel because they have their own families I don't want ask them to help out. I know I really need time to myself but how do I have me time and not feel bad.
Hello Sherri. My name is Clevie Evans. I am a 59 year old woman, who is helping give emotion support to a long time college friend, whose Mother was diagnosed last December with Alzheimers. I lost my own Mother to Alzheimers in November of 2009, after a courageous journey of 8 years. In talking with my friend, who lives in North Carolina, but now spends weeks at a time in S.C., to care for her Mother, I have become keenly aware and interested in the need for more services for the caregivers. I have been speaking directly with the ALZ chapter in Charlotte, N.C., which is Cyndy's home town. Sarah and I have been cooresponding about my idea for RESPITE house specifically designed just for caregivers to go, free of charge for a maximum of 5 days to getaway and recharge. (To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing.) I believe, there is a HUGE need for this. Many caregivers already are hesitant to get away, take a break, because of changes for their loved one, financial needs for having another caregiver come in in their absence, etc. For them to be able to go to a lovely, quiet retreat home, with full kitchen, perhaps trails to walk, etc. would be very inviting. I believe November is a great month to raise AWARENESS for such a thing. I myself have health issues, and can no longer walk for ALZ, however I have told Sarah, I would be willing to set up in a highly visible local Mall, with local television. Rock in a rocking chair for 12 hrs, something to that effect, to raise money for the first RESPITE house of this kind. I want every state to have a PURPLE HOUSE (this is what I am calling them). They can also ask for donations from the caregivers, after their stay. But they should be listed as operated as non-profit, as a Ronald McDonald House is. So as not to repeat all of my email conversations with, Sarah, I would like to forward those on to you. She and her caregiver team, have thought of pursuing using time shares as a a possible start. However, I am still holding out, for the dream of a permanent PURPLE HOUSE. I would gladly live on premises, as a host, in a guest suite of sorts to be available. Perhaps you could also contact Sarah re: this subject. I really want to see this go somewhere. Thank you for your time and consideration. Everyone wins in this pursuit. The patient, and the caregiver.
Read your purple house blog from "40 weeks ago" just now. How is it going? I don't know how to get in touch with you about it. You probably have stopped looking at responses to your post by now. Are we allowed to provide email addresses? Oh well, here's mine: firstname.lastname@example.com. It's August 30, 2014. Sharon
My husband has mid-stage Alzheimers. I am trying to learn the virtue of patience and appreciate the helpful tips found on this website. A longtime girlfriend has invited me to accompany her on a 2-week trip this fall and I feel guilty for even considering it.
If a respite assisted living arrangement could be arranged, how do I best introduce such a situation to my husband?
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Fruit drinks are under fire. A new report from Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity says many of the drinks that it claims are heavily marketed to kids - beverages that parents may consider healthful alternatives to soft drinks - contain dangerously high levels of sugar.
"These drinks increase the risk for obesity and diabetes," the report says. "Drinking just one 8-ounce sugary drink every day increases a child's odds of becoming obese by 60 percent."
How much sugar are kids allowed to have? For 4- to 8-year-old kids, no more than 15 to 18 grams a day (depending on amount of physical activity), according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Which beverages are the biggest offenders? Keep clicking to see seven brands singled out by the Yale researchers, ranked by the amount of sugar the drinks contain...

Kicking off the list of sugary drinks is sports drink Powerade Play. Even though kids don't need to consume any sports drinks, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, Powerade has created a sports drink specifically for children. A 10-ounce bottle of the stuff contains 15 grams of sugar, as well as artificial sweeteners, which may be linked to weight gain in children.

A 6-ounce pouch of Capri Sun contains 16 grams of added sugar - 107 percent of the recommended daily allowance for a child.

Sunny D is a high-calorie fruit drink that contains 18 to 20 grams of sugar per 8 ounces - 100 percent of the daily allowance for a very active child. Every variety of Sunny D also contains the artificial sweetener sucralose, which may be linked to weight gain in children.

A 6.8-ounce child-sized serving of Kool-Aid Jammers contains up to 24 grams of sugar - just as much sugar per serving as Coca-Cola Classic. This is 160 percent of the added sugar a child should have per day.
A 10-ounce bottle of this child product contains up to 27 grams of sugar - 180 percent of the daily added sugar allowance for a child.

These 6.7-ounce child pouches contain 25 grams of sugar per serving - 180 percent of a full day's worth of added sugar for a child.

An 8-ounce serving of Hawaiian Punch contains up to 29 grams of added sugar - 193 percent of the sugar a child needs for an entire day - in addition to artificial sweeteners.

Importing your Bookmarks from IE:
The first time you launch Chrome, it will offer to copy your Favorites from another source. It will ask you to "confirm your sync settings" — just make sure that your "Bookmarks" item is checked. It then goes out to IE and copies over those Bookmarks.
If you've already used Chrome, you can click on the Settings icon (3 horizontal bars in the upper right corner). Choose Bookmarks, then Import Bookmarks and Settings. With Internet Explorer selected, click Import.
You'll now see your Bookmarks and Tabs on any device when you sign in to your Google account.
FireFox uses the same technique as Chrome. Create an account with a user name (usually an email address) and password, and your Bookmarks will be stored in the cloud. Unlike Chrome, you also need to run a process from each device you wish to view your Bookmarks on.

Park Central Mall Oral History Project
Park Central Mall opened in 1957, and quickly became the center of activity along Central Avenue, thanks to its proximity to some of Phoenix's best neighborhoods and easy access from Central Avenue, Thomas Road and Indian School Road. As Phoenix quickly grew, the area around Park Central Mall saw an increasing number of mid-rise and high-rise office buildings built along Central Avenue, and the area eventually became known as the Central Business District. ASU students and faculty gathered oral histories with people who lived in the neighborhoods surrounding Park Central Mall, store owners and individuals who frequented the mall to shop or attend the events at the mall.

Ann has lived in Phoenix for 76 years and remembered quite a bit about the mall and what the area was like before it was built. In the beginning she spoke about her parents moving separately from Tennessee in the 20s and 30s, respectively. Then she went on to describe her childhood neighborhood and how it was a nice place to grow up with lots of other children and nice foliage. Ann explains how, before Park Central was there, in the area of the dairy farm, there was a car-hop style restaurant that served hamburgers, hot dogs, milkshakes and a …

text: 10 January 2019 Cabernet Shiraz: The Quintessential Australian Blend Cabernet Shiraz: The Quintessential Australian Blend There are moments in winemaking when a certain synergy happens. When the blended whole shines more brightly than the sum of its parts. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, often considered the quintessential Australian red, is one such case. HISTORY Blending different varieties to create a wine that is more complete, more complex, and therefore arguably better, is a time-honoured tradition in winemaking history. Bordeaux winemakers have been doing it for centuries. In fact, almost all Bordeaux wines consist of various, often signature, combinations of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. But back in the 1800s, the Bordelaise also brought in Syrah (Shiraz) from the Rhone Valley to blend with their Cabernet Sauvignon, finding it an equally good, if not better, addition to their blends. But with the introduction of the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée system in 1919, French regional laws put a stop to the Bordeaux-Rhone blend. To be labelled AOC, a perceived mark of quality, restrictions were enforced to regulate where grapes were to be sourced and how wine was to be made. Cabernet Sauvignon was confined to Bordeaux, and Shiraz was confined to the Rhone, and never again the twain should meet. In Australia, however, we are free from such regulations. We have the freedom to make the very best wine possible, regardless of region or variety. And as such, the synergistic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz has flourished, becoming an iconic Australian style. And with good reason. So what is it that makes the blend of these two varieties such a happy, balanced marriage? BLENDING When we take a sip of wine, there is more going on than just the flavour. Wine also has mouthfeel, which is just as important to our enjoyment of the wine. Mouthfeel includes the sensations we perceive in our mouths such as texture, structure, shape, volume, length and consistency. We quite commonly hear the terms 'round', or 'long' to describe a wine. Similarly, terms such as 'structure' and 'body' are often used. We can liken structure to the wine's skeleton or framework, and body to the flesh, or how the wine fills the mouth. Cabernet Sauvignon provides great structure and backbone, offering intensity of flavour and fine, long tannins. It's often referred to, though, as a 'doughnut' wine, having plenty of upfront and lingering fruit, but a bit of a 'hole in the middle'. Shiraz, on the other hand, fills out the mid-palate with rich, mouth-filling fruit and a supple, velvety texture, balancing the line of Cabernet to create a wonderfully harmonious blend. Purists may argue that these two noble varieties should always stand alone. And of course, there are examples where the singular varieties shine. Platinum Label Shiraz, for example, shows Shiraz in its optimal form, with both opulence of fruit and elegance of structure. Gold Label Cabernet Sauvignon is an example of perfectly blended Cabernet Sauvignon that offers both length of flavour and mid-palate richness. But there are times when a vineyard will produce exceptional structure in Cabernet, without necessarily providing the middle palate depth, or rich, plush, round Shiraz that needs a little reigning in with a tighter structure. These are the perfect components to create the ideal Cabernet Shiraz blend, fitting the two together like a lock and key, and resulting in beautifully complete wines of harmony, complexity, balance and grace. CABERNET SHIRAZ AND WOLF BLASS The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz honours our roots, returning to that used by our founder, Wolfgang Blass, to create his very first wine under the Wolf Blass label back in 1967; Grey Label Cabernet Shiraz, which was sourced exclusively from the Langhorne Creek region. From 1973, Wolf went on to create Black Label, the flagship blend of the Wolf Blass portfolio. Based predominantly on Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, and often also incorporating a touch of Malbec or Merlot, Black Label takes the art of blending one step further, bringing in a selection of fruit from the most outstanding regions of the vintage. Recognised on the world wine stage as a wine of distinction, heritage and pedigree, Black Label has an unparalleled reputation as a benchmark example of this classic Australian blend. In 2018, Wolf Blass was awarded three Trophies, two Gold Medals and three Silver Medals at the 2018 Lipman Karas Great Australian Red competition, including the coveted Riedel Trophy for the Best Winery of Show. The competition was created by Matthew Jukes and Tyson Stelzer to recognise and celebrate the blend that defines Australia: Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. READ MORE
