Family Letters Tell of Christian County's Enslaved and Free People
When was the last time you hand wrote a letter? For most people, not recently. In the 19th century, letters were vital links to family and friends. And for historians today, they are a snapshot of daily life. The Kentucky Historical Society recently added 27 letters to its collection. Called the Watson and Robinson letters, they contain information about the lives of free and enslaved families in Hopkinsville and Lexington. Louise Jones is the director of Special Collections and the Martin F. Schmidt Research Library. Jones spoke with Angela Hatton about the significance of the Watson and Robinson collection.
The Watson and Robinson letters are part of the KHS's digital collection, and can be accessed free online. The following is a description of one of the letters from the KHS:
The Watson family letters (most by Isabel/Isabella Watson) originate in Mississippi City (Miss.) and include news of people's health and illnesses, activities, church and religion, the enslaved status of people in the Hopkinsville (Ky.) community, births and deaths, and the sale of individuals. Several letters are addressed to Reuben Faulkner, man of color, and Violet Ware, colored servant.

Residence Halls
Holy Family provides four distinct residential-living experiences: a residence
hall, two independent apartment-style living, and suite style living options.
First-year students who participate in the residence-life program are guaranteed
housing for two years. Housing beyond two years is limited and subject to availability.
All first-year resident students will be placed in St. Joseph Hall. After their
first year, these students may choose to remain in St. Joseph Hall, or they can
choose to live in one of the University's Duplex Apartments, Garden Residence,
or Stevenson Lane subject to availability.
Joseph Hall
Located at the center of campus just steps from the Campus Center, Holy
Family Hall, and the Library, St. Joseph Hall offers double-occupancy rooms
and communal bathrooms, plus three handicapped-accessible rooms with adjoining
private baths. The four-story residence hall houses both male and female
students separated by floor and contains a 24-hour computer lab, lounges,
vending room, and a recreation room designed by students. A security desk
monitors building access around the clock, and a residence-life professional
staff lives in the building and supervises the hall's student resident
Each floor contains a kitchenette with range and sink and laundry machines in
this building are free of charge to the residents. Each room provides individually
controlled air conditioning and includes cable-television service, high-speed
Internet access, and campus-wide voice mail. Plus, wireless Internet access is
available throughout the building.
Duplex Apartments
just off campus, the University's Duplex Apartments offer independent living
for up to three same-sex students per apartment. Each air-conditioned apartment
contains two bedrooms - one designed to hold two students, the other designed
to hold just one - plus a large living and dining room, a full kitchen, and
one bathroom. Duplex residents may opt into the University's meal plan. Cable
television service and high-speed Internet access are available, although residents
must subscribe to and pay for these services. Each apartment also contains
a clothes washer and dryer which are free of charge to duplex residents.
Garden Residence
Located on the edge of campus is the Garden Residence, which holds approximately
45 students in apartment style living. There is a kitchen, two bathrooms, a
living area and a washer and dryer in each unit. Apartments either have two
double rooms, or one double room and two single rooms. Cable television service
and high-speed Internet access are available. Limited parking is available
to residents. This area is designated for upper-class students who would like
some independence.
Stevenson Lane Residence
The new Stevenson Lane Residence offers suite-style living with well thought-out
design and amenities in line with what students expect in contemporary campus
Each unit serves up to four students and features two bedrooms, a bathroom with separate shower and sink facilities, and a small living room. Kitchenette and laundry rooms are provided on each floor. A quiet study room sits on one wing of each floor and on the opposite wing of each floor sits a student lounge offering a spectacular panoramic view of the campus and beyond.
The building's first floor also has a fitness room, game room, vending
room, and a multipurpose room with ample meeting space. The building also features
a health suite. Students use security swipe cards to access the building
and gain entrance to their rooms. The building has 24-hour security attendant
and security cameras. Stevenson Residence accommodates 148 students within
67,430 square feet of space. It also offers four resident
advisor suites, a suite for a residence life professional and 128 parking spaces.
Future plans could include two additional phases that would provide up to 112,580
square feet and house up to 358 students.

Setting up a business from scratch, being unknown to anyone, and in new territory, I consider myself extremely fortunate to now have my son working alongside me.

Day 1
Start in Lipari, one of the biggest and most beautiful of the islands. Our comfortable family-run apartments are found nestled in the small village of Canneto close to what is known for being to be the nicest beach of the island. Here we enjoy the first of many delicious meals in Sicily.
Day 2
Our morning begins with a hike to the north coast of the island. We climb up to Mt Pilatus, whose eruptions led to the creation of pumice deposits and obsidian flows.
The effort is rewarded by wonderful views over the extensive pumice quarries. In the afternoon we visit the historical centre of Lipari and for dinner we taste some Sicilian wines and delicious local food specialities. 4 hours hiking, +300m -300m.
Day 3
Today we catch the hydrofoil and sail across the sparkling waters to Vulcano, one of the seven Aeolian Islands, famous for its long stretches of black beaches and bubbling thermal springs. Excursion to Vulcano's crater to see the steaming 'Fumaroles' (vents of volcanic gas). In the afternoon free time for bathing in Vulcano's hot springs and mud baths. Hydrofoil back to Lipari. Dinner at pizzeria and overnight stay in Canneto. 4 hours hiking, +390m -390m
Day 4
For those who would like to stretch their legs further, there are some breathtaking views to be enjoyed of the entire archipelago, while trekking along the western coast of the island. En route we pass the Roman bath of San Calogero. Alternatively, for those wishing to have a more relaxing day, options include a boat tour of the island itself, taking a hydrofoil to the twin-peaked island of Salina, touring the island on a scooter, or simply relaxing on the beach!
Day 5
Our day begins with a one-and a half hour hydrofoil journey to the island of Stromboli. A unique island famed for being home to one of only three active volcanoes in Italy and a unique place to explore for geologists and tourists alike. Once there, we have free time to relax on the black sand beaches of the island. For those not wishing to take the optional trek to the summit, at sunset we will take an easy walk to an altitude of 400m to discover the spectacular 'Sciara del Fuoco', a fiery channel where the lava outflows plunge directly into the sea. We will also be able to view Stromboli's sporadic eruptions of molten rock above us. The sound and sight of the explosions are an amazing spectacle. Picnic dinner included during the excursion.
Alternatively, if the weather and conditions permit, those who wish can take an extra-guided excursion to the summit area of Stromboli at 942m. Although Mother Nature doesn't work with an exact schedule, here we can usually witness the pyrotechnical activity of the volcano with nightfall emphasising the dramatic red-hot spurts of molten rock. A picnic dinner is included in the excursion price: EUR28 per person, payable locally in cash. 5 hours hiking, +924m -924m. Please note: the descent in particular is very dusty so it may not be suitable for asthma sufferers. You will need a torch (a head-torch is best) as you descend after nightfall. 5 hours hiking, +924m -924m
Day 6
Leaving Stromboli we take a two-hour hydrofoil ride to Milazzo and we are transferred by a private minibus to the southern side of Etna. We spend the night in a mountain hut at 1900m above sea level, from where we can enjoy great views over the sea and the east coast of Sicily. The hotel is located very closed to the most recent lava flow.
Day 7
Today starting from our hotel, we enjoy a spectacular walk on the southern area of the Mount Etna volcano. We will hike up past several old lava flows to be rewarded with a dramatic panoramic view of the four craters that make up the top of this famous volcano, plus extensive views of the entire coast of Sicily. 5 hours hiking, +500m -400m
Alternatively, according to the weather and volcanic conditions there is a chance to climb by cable car and 4x4 jeeps up until 2900m and then further on foot to 3350m. You will be escorted by a volcano or alpine guide (6 hours hiking, +450m -1550m). Price: EUR75 per person, payable locally in cash (price subject to change). You are strongly advised to take a waterproof/windproof jacket, a warm top and to wear long trousers and gaiters.
Should summit craters be inaccessible due to persistent volcanic activity, there is usually the chance to climb by cable car and 4x4 jeeps up until 2900m and then further on foot to approx. 3000m, accompanied by a volcanologist. We then walk along the rim of the Bove valley, an extensive depression that opened up on the eastern side of the mountain thousands of years ago as a result of a massive landslide, before making our way down to 1900m.
Day 8
End in Catania.

Location is great
No wifi Internet. You had to pay to receive some Internet absurd not worth It. Room was cold all night and there was dust coming from the vent in the bathroom gross. Complain when I left .
The staff were friendly and helpful. The amenities are kid friendly (pharmacy, coffee shop, shopping plaza in the adjacent Gateway center). The bridge from the hotel to the train station, with easy access into Manhattan was remarkable.
The location of the hotel, in relation to NJ Penn Station, is ideal for trips into NYC. Additionally, the convenience of the airport shuttle sealed the deal for me, when choosing this hotel.
Located directly across from Newark Penn Station. Airport is 20 minute drive away.
No pool or jacuzzi
Front desk staff especially Theresa was exceptional.
the room was next to the elevator. The room service staff made noise all night. the room itself was the smallest I have ever stayed in. This was the worst hotel experience.
The hotel was dreadful.I enjoyed my stay. They made it safe for you to take the elvator without outsiders using it.
I would recomend the hotel to anyone. I give it 3 1/2 stars.Would have been a nice stay, as it was an middle to upper class room.
In a bad location for vacationers traveling on a leisure history trip. See comments below.
The hotel was middle to upper class. The location difficult to navigate to reach the 'entry I loading area', with the 1 way, 3 lane, restricted bus lanes, streets. But staff were kind and considerate and went out of their way to help us 'in' after our phone call to them. Just not a good choice for Priceline.com to give travelers, so they should screen the purchaser as to whether they're a vacationer or business traveler.The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful.
All good
Amazing service in Newark. From the doorman greeting to the desk clerk efficiency and the friendly housekeepers. great hotelthe location..it is just opposite to Newark Penn Station
No complimentary break fast parking not free and expensive - $21 per day Wi-fi not free in rooms. have to pay $21 per day to use in Wi-fi in rooms.
hotel is good but the amenities are all chargeable. To the hotel start rating these should have been free which is what we expect from big hotels.

Black Necked Swan
Our Black Necked Swan cygnets hatched at the zoo March 18. They are now very visible as they are constantly swimming alongside their parents in the lake next to the Flooded Forest Pavilion in the Amazon and Beyond exhibit. Though they are the smallest of the swan species, they are the largest waterfowl found in South America . Like other swans, they are monogamous, usually mating for life.

Free standard shipping on full-size orders $50+
I cannot get enough of this product!!
Every time I use any sort of salt exfoliant, it dries out my skin! This product removes all of my dead skin and replaces it with this wonderful soft, oiled, skin. I feel like my skin has been re-born. I can't wait to purchase the lotion that pairs with it! Please tell me they have an entire skin care line!
I love this scrub! It smells divine, not too strong, perfect for a relaxing bathing experience. I love that the salt comes from the great lakes, makes for a nice story! :) Highly recommend as a great gift for yourself or anyone you like!
I was in need of a scrub, thought I'd try something different so I ordered this scrub because it was on the Birchbox bestsellers list. The grain is very fine, I prefer a more aggressive scrubbing action. It feels more like a body wash that happens to have a little grit to it. Also, the jar is nice locking but not very practical. The mouth of the jar is very small so it's not easy to scoop out some of the scrub. And I have small hands! I wouldn't buy it again.
This is the ultimate relaxation product. I love the formula and it's such a great scrub for making an at-home spa experience. Don't pass this up!

Irina Shayk (born January 6, 1986), sometimes credited as Irina Sheik (Russian: Ирина Шейк),[2] born Irina Valeryevna Shaykhlislamova (Russian: Ирина Валерьевна Шайхлисламова), is a Russian model known for her 2007 through 2013 appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She was the cover model for the 2011 issue.[4]
Early years[edit]
Shayk was born in Yemanzhelinsk, Russia, to Volga Tatar coal miner Valery and ethnic Russian kindergarten music teacher Olga. She says she inherited her looks from her father and she has said that people often think she is South American. "My father was dark skinned, because he was Tatar, sometimes Tatars can look Brazilian," she says. "I get my light eyes from my mother."[5] She has one sibling, a sister named Tatiana.
Shayk started playing piano at age six. At age nine she enrolled in a music school and studied there for seven years, both playing the piano and singing in the choir, since her mother wanted her to study music.[6] Her father died of complications of pneumonia when she was 14, leaving her family with little money and forcing her mother to work two jobs to provide for the family.[5]
After high school, Shayk studied marketing[6] but was bored by it and entered a beauty school with her older sister. While there, she was noticed by a person from a local modeling agency who was struck by her beauty. She was urged to participate in the "Miss Chelyabinsk 2004" beauty contest and she won.[7]
In 2007, she replaced Ana Beatriz Barros as the face of Intimissimi, and in the same year debuted in the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Since that time, she has appeared in every annual edition, attending photoshoots in such places as St. Petersburg, Naples, Grenada and Chile.

Extra Credit: Earning Bonus Points in Fixed Income
Josh Tarnow & Michael Phelps | October 15, 2012 | Topics: Alternatives
Point of View With Josh Tarnow and Michael Phelps
With investors challenged to uncover attractive fixed income solutions that provide return, diversification and stability, we spoke with BlackRock fixed income experts Josh Tarnow and Michael Phelps about the benefits of an allocation to fixed income credit.
- An overwhelming portion of fixed income return over the past decade has come from interest rate risk; investors cannot rely on that going forward.
- Fixed income opportunities involving credit risk continue to expand and should now include global sovereign, corporate and select asset-backed bonds.
- With elevated volatility now the norm, a long/short strategy offers opportunities for returns in both up- and down-markets.
- An allocation to a global long/short credit strategy can enhance fixed income returns, reduce volatility and diversify portfolios from interest rate risk.
Investors have been acutely focused on the direction of interest rates. Are they overvaluing the impact of duration?
Not at all. For decades, interest rates have declined and bond prices have risen (bond yields move inversely to prices), contributing to fixed income investors' solid total returns. In fact, over the past decade, duration (a bond's sensitivity to interest rate movements) has been the main driver of fixed income returns, with approximately 85% of the return in an investor's traditional fixed income portfolio coming from duration. But with rates at historic lows, fixed income investors cannot rely on benefiting from interest rate risk to generate the same total return going forward, and need to look to other ways to create fixed income returns.
How can investors enhance their fixed income returns in today's low interest rate environment?
Good question. What investors should be thinking about is achieving a better balance between their interest rate exposure (investors are overweight), and credit-sensitive strategies, where there are more opportunities. We feel the rewards of additional returns tied to duration are not enough to outweigh the volatility of interest rates and consequent impact on an investor's total return potential. Therefore, a fixed income investor should consider increasing their allocation to credit-sensitive fixed income. The two main risks related to fixed income investing are interest-rate risk and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in the market value of bonds. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of the bond will not be able to make principal and interest payments. This sector offers strong opportunities to enhance yield and total returns because of the higher coupon paid to holders, but also strong relative value trading opportunities for a professional manager to enhance returns.
Fixed income credit can also offer diversification. Investors should be aware that diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. In addition, while a long/short strategy offers opportunities in up- and down markets, long/short investing entails special risks. Short sales in securities that increase in value can cause a loss of principal and any losses may or may not be offset by investing short sale proceeds in other investments. This strategy can offer an investor the ability to benefit in a volatile market, in which rates may go up or down (with associated fall and rise of bond prices).
Where are the opportunities for credit investing within the fixed income universe?
Investment grade, high yield and bank loans continue to be the bulk of the fixed income credit universe. However, the fixed income landscape has changed dramatically over the past several years following the credit crisis, creating a range of new opportunities for investment. In particular, the asset-backed securities sector (bonds backed by collateral such as aircraft, credit card receivables or auto loans) is one of the expanded credit sectors we believe offers good relative value opportunities.
Additionally, sovereign debt has emerged as a new credit sector following the European sovereign debt crisis. Rather than being treated as a risk-free assets, some governments now face credit and default risk, which has created relative value opportunities (taking advantage of price differentials between related bonds) between sovereigns, as well as sovereigns and corporates. These incredible credit market dynamics make us excited about investing in this sector.
Furthermore, the size of non-US credit markets should make global credit sectors worthy of an allocation in an investor's portfolio. While the US market is quite large at over $5 trillion, as you can see in the chart, adding international fixed income credit doubles an investor's opportunity set to just over $11 trillion. In particular, Europe and Asia have significant opportunities in investment grade and sovereign credit. In addition, the European high yield space is actually one of the fastest-growing segments of the global credit market. While the European market, at $200 billion, is quite a bit smaller than the US high yield market of $1 trillion, it's actually catching up quite quickly.
What are the advantages of a long/short approach in fixed income?
Basically, the benefits of a long/short approach are that the investor can potentially profit from both positive and negative views on individual credit securities. So while an alternative fixed income strategy such as long/short presents the opportunity for significant losses including, in some cases, losses which exceed the principal amount invested, investors can benefit from the ability to take a view on market direction. In other words, the manager can position the portfolio to be long, short or neutral to market moves. Furthermore, a manager can take advantage of disparities that occur between two credits that the manager believes are not currently represented in the right spread relationship.
Adding International Credits Doubles Opportunity Set

What is an example of a long/short trade in action?
Broadly, we look to own (go long) undervalued securities and sell (go short) securities we believe are overvalued. In the midst of the European sovereign debt crisis, there have been many dislocations in credit markets, thus creating opportunities for long, short, and long/short paired trades.
What you see in the chart below, is an example of a long opportunity that arose last fall. German Corporate Credit A was a fundamentally attractive financial issuer due to its diversified revenue stream and ability to take advantage of favorable pricing dynamics in the market. However, heightened volatility negatively impacted many financial issuers, and the market priced too much systemic risk into the sector. As a result, the price of the bond illustrated fell despite being attractive on a fundamental basis, creating a buying opportunity.

What you see in the chart below, is an example of a short opportunity that arose in early 2011. As a sovereign, Spain was facing many headwinds, including a large and unwieldy fiscal deficit, unsustainable employment levels, and an undercapitalized banking system. Given these factors, the price of these sovereign bonds should have traded lower, but they rallied following the implementation of the ECB's LTRO bond-buying program. These artificially higher prices created an attractive short opportunity as the effects of the LTRO faded and bond prices fell.

Has recent market volatility caused you to change your view of fixed income market opportunities?
Absolutely. Since 2008, volatility has been at historic highs (see chart below) and it is changing global fixed income markets. In turn, we have evolved our approach to take advantage of new opportunities. While corporate balance sheets are dramatically stronger than they were only several years ago, and default rates extremely low, credit spread securities continue to trade with elevated volatility. Generally, the more volatility there is, the more action there will be in price movements and the greater dislocation there will be between how credit securities are trading compared to their fundamental value, as well as to the fundamental value of other credit securities. This is where a manager's approach, be it long-only, or long/short, can play a critical role in performance.
Long/Short Credit Strategy Can Mitigate Volatility

How do you go about balancing current income, total return and risk in a portfolio?
We think of portfolio management in a holistic way focused on total returns, not only for current income (which is a component of total return). We are taking an innovative approach to total return generation by not only expanding the opportunity set to be global, but taking advantage of both the up-market as well as the down-market opportunities. We believe in addition to traditional strategies, conditions are ripe for a long/short approach to the market.
From a portfolio perspective, while the majority of the time we believe a net long credit exposure positioning within the portfolio is best, there is the potential for the team to have more negative views than positive, and we would position our long and short holdings to reflect that. It is unlikely that the portfolio will be positioned with a market- neutral position where we wouldn't be exposed to credit risk.
Where are you finding the greatest opportunities in the market today? Do you have industry, country or regional preferences?
The greatest opportunities we see right now are effectively split between the US and Europe. There are opportunities in Asia, but it is a considerably smaller fixed income market, and we feel liquidity is paramount. Part of the reason there are so many opportunities globally, however, goes back to our discussion of volatility and the fact that interest rates have been unstable. Typically, in a stable rate environment, credit spread securities might trade very tightly to the risk-free rate, without much differentiation. Since 2008, however, individual securities as well as entire sectors are greatly dislocated from their fundamental as well as relative values, presenting numerous opportunities.
Can you explain your investment process?
We apply a fundamental, bottom-up approach to identify relative value opportunities across fixed income sectors and geographic borders. Our team structure is one in which credit research analysts retain responsibility for a particular sector or universe, and the process begins by searching for a signal across the credit universe. When a compelling signal appears, the team then does a deep dive to investigate the opportunity, select securities and recommend a long or short strategy. The managers then organize the opportunities based on relative values across issuers and sectors, reviewing the entire portfolio from a risk and market exposure perspective.
Tell me about your team?
The team we have put together to manage our investment process is truly global in nature. With lead portfolio managers in New York and London, and traders in Asia, the sun does not set on global credit opportunities. Overall, the team relies on 58 investment professionals as well as a cadre of 25 traders that can help us maximize opportunities in terms of idea generation, as well as find more interesting opportunities in the United States, Europe and Asia. To ensure the deepest understanding of each market in which we trade, local team members speak the languages of many of the countries we are investing in, allowing the managers to understand where there's relative value across regions, credit quality and sectors.
How should an investor incorporate a credit strategy into their portfolio?
Investors can utilize a long/short credit strategy in several ways. For those who wish to reduce interest rate risk, a zero duration credit strategy offers diversification potential. Additionally, employing a long/short strategy offers a way to pare back risk from a long-only credit allocation. Finally, for investors who were driven into cash by fears of equity or interest risk, a long/short credit strategy is a way to re-invest without taking on these risks.
Broadly speaking, making these allocations can help provide attractive absolute returns, moderate to low volatility, and exposure solely to credit markets with zero interest rate risk. At the same time, investors should be aware that fixed income credit investing introduces the risk that the issuer of the bond may not be able to make principal or interest payments. Given the challenges of managing market, credit, interest rate and other risks, we recommend that investors rely on a proven professional manager to oversee each of their investments across the fixed income universe.

Investment involves risks. The two main risks related to fixed income investing are interest-rate risk and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in the market value of bonds. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of the bond will not be able to make principal and interest payments. International investing involves risks, including risks related to foreign currency, limited liquidity, less government regulation and the possibility of substantial volatility due to adverse political, economic or other developments. Investments in non-investment-grade debt securities (high yield or "junk" bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of default or loss of income and principal than securities in higher rating categories. Asset allocation strategies do not assure profit and do not protect against loss.

Our "piano room" as we'd like to call it has housed a pair of wing chairs for 23+ years now which have faded out quite a bit now (originally light green in colour) and I feel are definitely too large for the room. We have just recently added pots lights to this room, painted, and changed the floor tile. We love the carpet and need to keep the piano, but everything else can go.Any suggestions you could provide to me in terms of what fabric colours to use, what types of furniture I should incorporate, or what other types of accessories or accent pieces I could use would be greatly appreciated. This room has always been a difficult one to handle as it has a very large opening directly in front of the piano that opens to the dining area and a standard door opening to the right of it, so I was limited as to where I could place the piano. To the left of the piano, there is a heating vent centred just between the two wing chairs (on the floor), so I was always unable to place the piano there, as it would be directly beneath the piano. Do I use the perimeter of the walls, should I angle it??? Any help with decorating tips would be greatly welcomed. Thank you in advance.
I googled 'Images' of Piano rooms and picked out a few for inspiration. I think you could update your wing chairs as well. The are too tall and ridgid looking for your small room. The piano could stay on that wall - I really like the first inspiration picture with the wood beams. That would work if the piano stays where it is. Or you could do bookshelves on each side of the piano for a built in look. I do not think I would put the piano on an angle as I think it will take up too much of the floor space, but that being said if it is not too much trouble, move it around and see what you think. You could also put the piano on the wall to the right if the wall length is enough or try it on an angle in that corner (do an off center angle - not symetrical). If on an angle works, think about putting something tall in the corner behind the piano like a silk tree (real one would not work with no window for light) or like in the last inspiration shot, an old tall colomn with a fern on top. I love the 3rd picture - country cottage like - even try a very small love seat and one chair. If the chairs do no match, it will look more casual. Keep the big pieces of furniture neutral and add colour and pattern with pillows, pictures, knick knacks, etc. Mirrors are always good to help reflect light and make the room look larger. I could be a floor to ceiling type mirror leaning against the wall somewhere. Get some pictures up on the wall. What about a picture gallery behind the piano, something like this: or like this with the piano instead of the couch: I tried to do some drawings in both Paint and Microsoft Publications but neither will let me paste to this site.Hopefully, this gave you some inspiration and some ideas.

Recipe by yvonne
"This is an elegant barbecued salmon, glazed to perfection."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon water
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/3 pounds salmon fillet
very good! Did not use the amount of sugar called for--kind of chickened out for fear that it would be sweet, but it is not--it adds a subtle quality that makes for great eating. Also, used fresh basil, doubled the quantity, did not have garlic salt, so I used powder and regular salt--all of these details doesn't change the overall effect of the dish. Shows well, the sugar glazing adds a golden appearance. Very much recommend this. You can tell it is written by someone that understands that salmon needs only augmentation, and this treatment does just that.
I've had much better salmon. The flavors were odd together (my husband and I usually like a sweet glaze) and not at all appealing. The vinegar was strong, and in my opinion, doesn't belong with a subtle tasting fish. I will not make this again. It ruined a perfectly good filet. I recommend "Baked Dijon Salmon" instead.
42 Ratings
Yummy! My picky, "Don't let that fish touch my steak!" boyfriend even admitted this was good. Sweet and tangy at the same time. Adds flavor without overwhelming the salmon. Use fresh basil (~2 Tbs) for best flavor. Garlic salt is unnecessary. Just add some salt and more garlic!
Used this marinade on some sockeye salmon filets and then BBQ'd them. The marinade is excellent on salmon-- the sweetness seems to go perfectly with the fatiness of the fish! I used balsamic vinegar because I didn't have any red wine ving. and it turned out fine.
Salmon is one of our favorite healthy foods. I enjoy preparing this recipe with asparagus and rice pilaf for accompaniments. For the final touch,I use a lemon sauce drizzled over both the salmon and asparagus. It is a beautiful presentation.
This dish was like eating at an expensive restaurant! I couldn't wait to make it again and serve it to dinner guests! WONDERFUL!
This was delicious. I like things a little sweeter and thought the sugar added a nice subtle flavor. Very good and we didn't have to marinate it forever!
This recipe has an excellent sweet flavor in the after taste. Don't be afraid to be liberal with the sugar. I also added about 1/2 a tsp of lemon pepper and used a few extra cloves of garlic. I don't have a grill, so I put a little oil on a skillet and grilled it up like that.

Capital Region
NATIONWIDE -- The looming sequester budget cuts have public officials in Washington defending their side of the debate.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick was on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday morning.
He said he sees both sides of the argument but the governor disagrees with Republicans who say the President failed to lead on this issue.
"This notion about not having leadership, this is about leadership. And, the President has shown that a balanced approach, which is about cuts and closing loopholes that enables us to invest in things and grow jobs, is more important and appropriate for us at this time," said Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.
Republican Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana joined Patrick on the show and countered that the sequester was the President's idea in the first place.
He added that United States budget is full of waste and that the President needs come up with what he says are deeper, smarter spending cuts.

On the calm waters of the Fleming Island Marina, SailLaser Jacksonville outfits recreational mariners with Laser Class sailboat rentals, and their friendly, experienced instructors teach nautical skills to fledgling sailors in private lessons. After donning a life jacket, rental customers choose a craft from SailLaser Jacksonville's fleet of modern, personal dinghies that avoid the pitfalls of vintage Pequod-inspired vessels. The Bug and Pico Lasers sport manageable controls capable of introducing young children to steering, and popular Sunfish slice across the marina or explore the winding St. Johns River. Wind ripples through hair while gliding across placid waters in an Olympic-class Laser Radial rig, and legs can stretch out in the roomy cockpit of the Zuma. During the lesson, instructors shepherd beginners through the basics of sailing, explaining equipment, demonstrating techniques, and answering questions about the difference between port and a fortified wine. When water conditions are rough, wave-based classrooms move onshore for dry-land tutelage.
The friendly sub-surface staff and committed conservationists at Scuba Extreme spread their waterlogged gospel of underwater maneuvering through safe and fun diving instruction. In the "Skin Diver" course, budding sea-people will learn the basics of snorkeling and free-diving techniques. Instructors will equip students with a mask, snorkel, and fins, and then lead participants through the basics of submerged breathing and safety. The class lasts between two and three hours, or approximately one year in the life of a fantail guppy.
At Accurate Edge, LLC, state-licensed security guard and NRA senior training counselor Thomas Eichling shares his more than 20 years of training experience, including his expertise as both an NRA Senior Training Counselor and a retired Navy marksmanship specialist. He imparts this wealth of knowledge to students in NRA courses such as the FIRST Steps Pistol Orientation, which can be taken as a standalone class or used to satisfy the training component for a concealed-weapon application. In addition to working with adults, Thomas also works with youths with parental consent. He can also bring the training facility to clients, hitching up to his trailer-mounted live-fire range and driving it around Jacksonville.
The Color and Glow Run could just as easily be called the Color and Glow Walk, or the Color and Glow Dance. It's not important how fast racers finish the 5K course, what's important is what those runners wear. As long as they sport a white T-shirt, they can enjoy a colorful or glow-in-the-dark makeover at the hands of the race's volunteer crew.
Boasting an 18-hole championship-style golf course and a golf school helmed by experienced professionals, Country Club of Orange Park helps duffers hone swings on and off the course. Cure chronic slices or the putting yips with the help of former PGA Tour pro Charles Raulerson and assistant instructor David Ven Vertloh. During small-group lessons of less than 10 students, Charles focuses on the simplistic but crucial elements of posture, alignment, and technique to help pupils on their path to mastering the subtle art-science of the golf swing. Charles also draws from a professional career that included three PGA Championship berths, several International Tour victories, and earning global renown for matching plaid with argyle.

What the fark.... On the auction page above the ebay bucks it says take an additional 10% off with a coupon, but I do not know where to find it....
You getting the Amazon Warehouse deal is like me finding a $850 Macbook for sale on Craigslist. Last edited by mo.karney; 03-28-2013 at 11:37 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
The "like new" models on Amazon Warehouse are often still sealed (as mine was) and were either overstock or unopened product returns. Furthermore, you can register them with Apple and get the full 1-year warranty from your date of purchase. Not to mention Amazon's usual 30-day return policy, of course. I've done it twice with success, and I think you'd be crazy to pay full retail for an Apple product given the AW option - especially for states with no sales tax online. The only trouble is that stock varies wildly, so you have to check relatively frequently to snag the best deals. |
Also, I wanted to say that you may in fact be lucky enough to get a slightly altered (presumably BTO) model that has been manufacture refurbished through this deal. I bought one 3 weeks ago when the deal was originally up, and when I checked the macbook settings found it to be an 8GB model rather than the standard 4GB, definitely happy about that! |
Thanks for posting! I ordered one. Cheapest I could find was an open box at BB for $960. I wish I had that 5% email, but this price will do. with their 14 day free shipping return if another substantially better deal pops up I can always return this one. But I doubt there will better for awhile at least.
As far as amazon used, the cheapest they have is $950 and up. |
Given that Apple's website sells the 4GB RAM model for $999 + tax, when originally a new one sells for 1199, you can almost look at this deal as saving $418 + whatever the tax is in your state (as the 8GB model is $100 up). |

Deducting Employee Taxes
by pruthinker, Creator
- Created: June 19, 2010, 2:55 pm
Are there any laws governing whether or not an employer have to deduct taxes before deducting child support from an employee's pay check?
BizResearcher | Window Shopper | 6/22/2010 - 10:38 am
If the person is an employee, not an independent contractor, you must deduct state and federal taxes, Social Security and Medicare from their income. If you are wondering about whether to deduct taxes before deducting a state-mandated child support payment, check with your state department of human services or the agency that sent you the child support order. I would think you would deduct taxes first, then the child support.

These are the new faces of the Mississippi Legislature, 47 total and all of them getting a crash course in what it's like to be a lawmaker, from policies and procedures to rules and regulations.
"This is taking a sip of water out of a fire hydrant, it is clearly a crash course," said Dr. Hank Bounds, Commissioner of IHL.
It's a two day orientation in the very place these men and woman from across Mississippi with little legislative experience will be joining lawmakers with plenty of it.
Having never been elected to a public office before, Republican Senator-elect Sean Tindell from Gulfport says he's up for the challenge, taking the seat of current senator and Senate President Pro tem, Billy Hewes.
"There's a lot I want to achieve," Tindell said. "We want to pass good common sense laws for Mississippi."
So does Democrat Representative-elect Charles Young, Jr. from Meridian.
"My family has a very strong passion for politics," Young said.
As they now get ready to start their first term, Governor-elect Phil Bryant says it won't always be easy and they need to be ready on day one.
"They got to realize how much they have to work, the hard work that's put in to getting one piece of legislation passed through this house and senate and getting it to the governor's desk and that's a learning curve," Bryant said.
By getting these freshmen lawmakers acclimated to how the legislative process works, the state's veteran politicians hope they will be ready for a list of challenges come January.
"It's so very important for you to pay attention to that budget," said current House Speaker, Democrat Billy McCoy. "Take the time to learn it."
The members are hearing from experts on the issues that will face them such as healthcare, education and a state budget as well as lingering and heated issues like redistricting.
"These are men and women of passion and commitment and at the end of the day it's going to take some collaborative effort to get to where we need to be without giving up your core beliefs, that's a fine line that they need to understand," Bryant said.
With Republicans now in control, these new lawmakers are standing by their parties, but say they're not opposed to working together.
"Republicans have the House, they have the Senate and so it's up to us now to do the things we promised we were going to do," Tindell said.
'Hopefully we'll be able to open avenues of communication," Young said.
Every four years the legislative session is extended and this will be that year, lasting up to 125 days instead of the normal 90 days.
