The Healthy Weigh Now By Dr. Kenneth M. Brooks, FACC
M
ost of us are consuming too many processed foods,
refined sugars, and starches such as grains, sweets,
snack foods, etc . In order to regulate blood sugar, our
pancreas secretes insulin to metabolize sugar (glucose). We don’t
realize when carbohydrates are eaten, they are broken down into
glucose, and whatever is not metabolized for energy is converted
and stored as fat. When too many carbohydrates are consumed,
the pancreas has to work too hard, resulting in insulin resistance.
This leads to a drop in blood sugar which causes cravings for
sugar and carbohydrates, beginning a vicious cycle of overeating,
fat storage, and weight gain.
The Healthy Weigh Now’s easy 3 Level Weight Loss Plan stops the
cycle, promotes weight loss by using the fat your body has stored,
and burn that fat for energy. Weekly meetings with our trained
coaches guide you on the journey to a healthy weight. After
weight loss, we are committed to providing you knowledge and
guidance to maintain your weight loss for a life time. Our program
is medically supervised by board certified Cardiologists who work
closely with clients that have medical conditions. Whether you
have 10 pounds or over 100 pounds to lose, THE HEALTHY WEIGH
NOW is your key to success.
See quick results -- clients lose 2-5 lbs per week

3 Steps Toward YOUR Success! I was one of the first clients at The Healthy Weigh Now in July of 2012;
a guinea pig.
The Healthy
Weigh Now
I am a Registered Nurse and I had struggled with yo-yo dieting my
entire adult life; was “middle aged” and feeling old, tired, achy, and
depressed. Of course, as a medical professional and cardiac nurse, I
“knew” the health risks of obesity, and was not a good role model for
the patients I encountered at Cardiac Care Associates on a daily basis.
I could preach the whole “heart healthy diet and exercise” speech, but
who would listen?
Being obese myself and with a significant family history of diabetes,
stroke, heart disease, and cancer, I was headed down a frightening path.
Every “diet” I tried failed, because I could not stick to them very long.
If I did manage to lose weight, I would go back to my old eating
habits and gain all the weight back, plus a few more pounds. Would
I ever learn the secret to losing weight and keeping it off? How did
my skinny friends do it? I struggled with stress eating, a busy lifestyle
(“too busy to cook healthy meals”), and took care of everybody else
but myself. Co-dependent perhaps?
As a staff member, I sat through an introductory seminar at Cardiac
Care Associates 3 years ago and began to realize my problem: too
many carbohydrates, of all types, and processed junk food! To hear
“you can lose 2-5 lbs per week, you will not be hungry, and you don’t
have to exercise” clinched it for me. Sounded too good to be true, but
it was time to embark on a new journey to good health! I was DONE
with “dieting.”
By strictly adhering to The Healthy Weigh Now plan, I was able
to lose 58 lbs and 32 inches in just 18 weeks! My body fat dropped
from 45% to 34%. The plan was simple to follow using tasty protein
supplements along with non-starchy vegetables and lean protein. No
I wasn’t hungry, I did not exercise, and I had energy to spare. I even
weighed less than my husband for the first time in 40 years. This lowcarb plan was just what my body needed.
Dr. Kenneth M. Brooks, FACC
FACC Board Certified Cardiologist
and Medical Director THWN
Dr. Brooks has been in practice as
an interventional cardiologist for
more than 30 years addressing the
ravages of a modern lifestyle that
has led to an obesity epidemic. He
has seen thousands of patients
with high blood pressure, diabetes
, high cholesterol, and has been
frustrated by the increased need
for medications. After extensive
research on the effect of GLUTEN Dr.
Brooks launched his own product line - The Healthy Weigh NowTM.
Dr. Brooks is married and lives in Northern VA.
Not only did The Healthy Weigh Now plan help me to lose weight, but
I have learned a new lifestyle that keeps me feeling younger, more
energetic, and at a healthy weight. Now, 3 years later, I continue
to maintain my weight with a low-carb lifestyle, inlcuding lots of
vegetables, healthy fats, and lean meats. I now “find” time to shop
for and prepare healthy whole foods and aim for 30-45 minutes of
moderate exercise 5-6 days per week. Avoiding gluten containing
grains and processed junk foods, along with exercise has been my
“secret” to maintenance. If I slip up on vacation and gain a few
pounds, I simply go back on the weight loss plan to quickly get back
to goal. I am a life-time member of The Healthy Weigh Now!
As I saw how well this program was working for me, I became
passionate about helping others through the process, and began
coaching clients in August of 2012. As a nurse and coach, it has been
so rewarding to help our clients
not only lose weight, but to help
them improve their overall health:
many clients are able to stop
diabetes, high blood pressure and
high cholesterol medications.
This plan has changed my life as
well as the lives of so many of our
clients.
Don’t put this off! Come and join us
on a journey to good health.

dear readers
People often ask me, “How did you start writing?”
While it is hard to pinpoint the exact moment that I fell in love with words, paper, books and writing, I am reminded daily of
the many letters shared between my Nana and me.
It started when I was in elementary school. The exchange of letters between the two of us that were filled with camp
experiences, school friends and new books was like fresh air and breath to me. I longed for each letter and still remember
the disappointment when an expected return letter did not come in the mail quickly.
Plopped on my favorite couch, today, I long for more time and endless hours to write like I did as a child. And...every
summer it happens. I am afforded the time: a great vacation to Jamaica and the ocean to bask and be inspired. To write,
each day, when the sunset in Jamaica, is my only chore.
For ten days, I am able to be quiet, gather my thoughts and let my heart sing as the creative juices get going. I write like
nobody’s business... for that I am grateful.
The exchange and life shared, with no interruption on the beach enables me to write letters, thank you notes and messages
to the many friends and family I share space with. Thank you, Pat Wirth; our guest columnist, Kristina Bouweiri - a DMV,
favorite CEO and Robin Finnell - this issue’s cover WOMAN. Kudos and hugs to every cover WOMEN, friends, family and
staff, throughout the various communities i serve.
Celebrating words and writing about the many experiences from my couch on a summer day is this season’s special gift.
It does not last long. For now, i am just going to enjoy the write. Happy Summer! - Dorri

It’s A Mood Thing!
By Dr. Gloria Ivey-Crowe
W
hy is it that people around us can tell when it’s “that time of the
month?” Do we look different, smell different, act different or
what? If we took a poll and asked people the answer to that
question most would respond: SHE ACTS DIFFERENTLY. Ever wondered
why that is or what is actually happening during this time? No, your
body has not been taken over by “Body Snatchers” and invaded by an
alien. Most women admit they don’t feel like their usual selves and feel as
though they are someone else. They don’t like what they are feeling, but
still can’t seem to stop the behavior or outbursts. Why is that?
Let’s talk a little anatomy and physiology. Yeah, we had to learn it, but I’m
going to give you the Cliff Notes. An average menstrual cycle is 21-30
days. Most fall in the average of 28 days with two phases: follicular and
luteal. During the first or follicular part of the cycle, the follicle or egg
starts to develop and the uterine lining grows anticipating implantation.
The second phase or luteal phase is when the egg is released or ovulated.
If the stars are in alignment, the egg and sperm meet and become one,
traveling down the yellow brick road to the uterus where implantation
occurs. 9 months later, you get a baby!
Both of these phases are controlled by a combination of
Estrogen, Progesterone or Testosterone. Most problems
with bleeding, mood, irregular cycles, infertility, no
cycles, can be traced back to problems with the levels
of your hormones. However, we commonly associate
our moods to that time of the month.
So what’s really going on here?
There is a condition we know as PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and
PMDD or premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Most women are familiar
with PMS. PMDD is a more serious form of PMS. Both are characterized
by symptoms that usually occur 7 to 10 days before the start of the
menstrual cycle and a few days when it starts. Women feel bloated,
have mood changes, breast tenderness, fatigue, sleep changes such as
insomnia and eating changes. You are not alone when you feel like you
just got to have some chocolate or CARBS! Physical symptoms may
also include joint or muscle pain, headache, weight gain due to fluid
retention, acne and changes in bowel habits such as constipation or
diarrhea.
Mood changes are common and no doubt is what puts folks on alert that
your cycle is coming. The mood changes may be irritability, labile moods,
sadness, anxiety, depression, anger or any combination of these. These
changes are occurring in most instances during the luteal phase when
the predominant hormone is progesterone. Hence why some women will
get relief with the use of progesterone supplements during this time.
Sadness, feeling down, overall dysphoria and even depressed moods
can be related to hormones or low levels of serotonin.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter released in the brain.
Low levels of serotonin may be associated with
dysphoria, sadness or depression, so we can use
supplements such as St. John’s Wort and SSRI’s.
SSRIs or selective serotonin uptake
inhibitors are a class of meds
which make serotonin last longer.
For more information call (703) 834-1071
or visit www.womenphysicians.org
12
Testimonials
Common medications in this class are Prozac, Zoloft, Effexor, Lexapro,
Celexa, etc. A common one is Serafim or Prozac, dosed in smaller
amounts than what is used for depression and has been very helpful
with the control of mood swings and premenstrual emotions.
There is help. SSRIs, progesterone creams and even birth control pills
can regulate the imbalance. St John’s Wort, Chasteberry and essential
oils all may be helpful, and exercise is always beneficial. For those who
become totally debilitated by this time of the month, PMDD is the likely
diagnosis and a combination of natural supplements, antidepressants,
exercise and meditation may prove helpful.
Anxiety or anxiousness is normally felt by everyone at some point.
However, when anxiety interferes with the ability to lead a normal life, it
may become necessary to seek professional help. Anxiety may present
as panic, phobias or fears, or social anxiety. Anxiety which is debilitating
and paralyzing is a mental illness and requires further diagnosis. Anxiety
associated with PMS or PMDD is short lived and not as overwhelming
as it resolves itself after the menstrual cycle starts. Anxiety may present
as feelings of fear, problems sleeping, cold or sweaty hands, shortness
of breath, heart palpitations, dry mouth, inability to be still and calm,
numbness or tingling in the hands or feet, nausea, muscle tension and
dizziness. Triggers for anxiety may be caffeinated beverages such as
energy drinks, coffee, tea, or chocolate.
So now you know there is no NEON sign flashing DANGER AHEAD! To
know is to be forewarned. Speak with your healthcare provider for help
and further recommendations.

REVOLUTION
The Care And Wearing Of Your Retainer
By John H. Jones, III DDS
O
rthodontic treatment is an
expensive investment. To get
the best results, you must wear
and care for your retainer, this will ensure
the best results possible. After removing
the braces it is essential that you:
The purpose of wearing a retainer is to prevent your teeth from shifting
back into their original position... Generally, retainers should be worn, at
least until the bone and gums have had time to stabilize around the newly
aligned teeth. As a respected orthodontist and expert, I recommend that
children and teenagers wear their retainers through their 20s - at least
until all permanent teeth have come and the jaws stop growing.
Care for your retainer
Most retainers are removable and can
be taken out while eating. Retainers
can also be removed while flossing
and brushing teeth. Brushing of course
is recommended twice daily and after
each meal.
Many choose to wrap their retainer in a tissue or napkin when eating
and YES, if forgotten the retainer is inadvertently thrown away. Thousands
of dollars are spent annually on “forgetten” and thrown away retainers
because many patients forget about them.
A good solution - always carry your case with you. Ask your orthodontist
about an extra case. Ladies may choose to have one at home and one in
her purse. Mothers may choose to have one at home for their child(ren)
and an extra case kept in the car or in Mom’s purse.
Never leave the case or your retainer on a table or a bench, and wrapping
it up in a napkin is probably one of the fasted way to lose it in a restaurant
or while dining out.
When servers clear the table, it is easy to see how and why the napkin with
one’s retainer could be mistakenly picked up while clearing the table.
Putting you retainer in a case or backpack immediately is a great protection
and cost savings for your retainer.
John H. Jones III DDS
How long will I have to wear my retainer?
It depends.
Your orthodontist and dentist will assist with your need and purpose for
wearing the retainer. Each case in my office is evaluated and discussed.
Recognizing the purpose of wearing a retainer is different for each patient,
it is hard to say how long YOU might need to wear a retainer.

Growing Business Through Strategic Partnerships
By Kristina Bouweiri I
n 2009 I was having lunch with a friend, Heidi Kallett, CEO of The
Dandelion Patch retail stores. We were discussing the recession and
how it was affecting our businesses. She mentioned that her Reston
store was her biggest challenge. She said the rent in the Reston Town
Center was high and that her sales were solid but only marginally
profitable. I pondered her dilemma for a moment and then I suggested
that the two of us join forces on an event to bring her more business.
Reston Limousine was founded in Reston -- in fact, at the Reston Town
Center where her store was. I knew I had a lot of clients in Reston but had
never reviewed our client list by geographic area. I found 1,500 clients
in Reston. I then narrowed the list down to the top 250 corporate clients
closest to the Reston Town Center. We then planned a lovely lunch at Il
Fornaio Restaurant. The lunch would be superb with appetizer, choice
of entrée and then to top it off, three desserts!
I emailed my clients and invited them to a client appreciation lunch. I
told them that I was inviting 250 and we could only accommodate 50
people so they had to RSVP right away. We had 50 RSVPs in the next 24
hours!
So now I had a group of 50 clients for Heidi to meet and I thought to
myself, “Who else would like to get in front of these clients?” Thanks to
10 years of networking, I had a vast list of companies to invite. The clients
that were attending the lunch were the administrative assistants, HR
managers and office managers of large corporations in Reston. I invited
representatives from a florist, a catering company, an event planner, an
office moving company, an office supply company, a bakery, a bank, a
CPA firm, a housewares outlet store, an ice cream franchise, and a spa.
The day arrived and we had a wonderfully successful event. Each
sponsor was able to pitch their business for one minute and give out
a door prize. When it was my turn to speak I reminded my clients that I
have sedans, buses, vans and limousines. Some of them were only using
our sedans. Some were only using buses. I also reminded them of all
of our offerings on our website: the wine tours, shopping trips to New
York and brew tours. I also told them that we now offer a car in any city
in the world through an affiliate network. When it was over, the sponsors sat down to a beautiful lunch. They
all looked at me and said, “When are we doing this again?” We replied
16
that it was a one-time deal. They then told me they wanted to do it
every month. Then the bill arrived and it cost each of us $150 to take
these clients to lunch.
Out of the very first lunch, The Dandelion Patch got a $33,000 order for
holiday cards. The event planner got a 500 person picnic! The florist
picked up a 12 restaurant chain! Reston Limousine has benefited greatly by these lunches also. We now
book clients in other cities all over the world. This lunch triggered an
account with an international relocation client that gives us 20 trips a
day. So we started doing this lunch every month. We moved it around from
Reston to Tysons to DC to Alexandria to Chantilly to Herndon. Each
month after the event, the sponsors would sit together and try and
figure out how to get more business from these clients. Instead of trying to figure out ourselves how we could get more business
from this group, I suggested that we start a focus group with our clients.
I invited top clients to another lunch at Morton’s. This time it would be
a working lunch. They could order whatever they wanted but we would
be picking their brains. Here is what we learned: • Clients just want a great experience.
• Most administrative professionals are overworked and underpaid. • They don’t have time to shop vendors. • They want one reliable vendor they can call each time and not
have to worry about the service/product. • We learned that restaurants give incentives to admins to order to
go lunches. • For every six lunches they ordered to go for their office meetings,
they would get a free one. • We heard other catering companies were offering cash back
incentives for online orders. • We learned that just because one person was using us, it did not
mean we were getting all the business! It was a very interesting lunch. We received a lot of information from
this group. educate. empower. inspire. inform.
The other great byproduct of this concept was that we had now created
ambassadors for our companies within large corporations. We now had
an advocate in the building who was suggesting everyone give us the
business. Lastly, the sponsors all became ambassadors for each other’s
business and we all started referring business to each other.
“
Today, 6 years later, I can say
that I have broken bread with
3,600 clients. I have developed
a relationship with them. I have
given them my personal cell
phone and encouraged them to
call if they ever have a problem. ”
The bottom line is people want to do business with people they know
and like. This idea alone grew my business by 27% and it was during a recession! It
became so difficult to win new clients, we won by going back to our
regular clients, thanking them for the business, getting to know them
better and having a regular presence in their lives.
Congratulations Kristina!

FALL 2015
I
n spite of the heat and humidity, like all fashion houses, Doncaster’s Fall
2015 collection is already on display in the Tysons Corner showroom. I
love wearing my summer clothes and sandals, yet when the cold weather
comes, many of us want to be ready with a fresh new look! I just came back
from Dallas for the Doncaster FAB Forum where the new collection “rocked
the runway” and those of us who bring it to you! So what secrets do I have
to share about this gorgeous new collection?
Our take on the Pantone color of the year “Marsala,” is reflected in what we
are calling Antique Ruby.
Beautiful.
Savory.
Strong.
Sexy!
It is a rich color - BOLD enough to replace your black and you will be
noticed as the one “with fashion know-how.”
Other NEW hues for fall include Peony everyone’s favorite go to fuchsia,
Celedon the perfect fall light green, Flame and Carmine for red lovers
everywhere, Olive a deep hue, Light and Dark Chocolate, and Terracotta
for you redheads and blondes, and Blue Bird a beautiful bright color for
everyone. As always we have our neutrals: Winter White, Black, and Heather
Charcoal. Black and White is ALWAYS a best seller!!! With Antique Ruby,
Carmine and Flame, Doncaster has a red for everyone!
Doncaster Fall takes you to Venice, Manchester, Prague and Paris (hot cities
18
to visit) with each city inspiring one of the four groups within the entire
collection.
Trends of the season include:
• Patterned and Textured jacquards
• Soft prints and palettes – a continuation of spring where all
contemporary designers had silks in their collections
• Couture Sport – bringing athletic wear into ready-to-wear
• Recurring themes in all 4 collections – flower prints in Venice, abstract
houndstooth in Manchester, abstract reptile in Prague, irregular check
and maze prints in Paris
• A focus on novelty jacquard (a fabric of intricate variegated weave or
pattern generally in the same colorway) jeans and trousers
• Capes and ponchos – fun and flirty
• Lace – for the romantic in all of us
With rich colors, luxury fabrics and glamorous styles, the Doncaster Fall
2015 Collection will have you looking on trend and fabulous when the air
turns cold. For your personal appointment contact Robin Finnell.
Frequently Asked Questions
Bra Straps, Wearing White When? Patent for all Seasons, and To Sleeve or not

A: Many higher end items come with what is referred to as lingerie straps.
These are snaps attached to a chain stitched thread that keep your bra
straps hidden in place under the shoulder sections of your dress and
blouse. Our expert seamstress is available to help by appointment in our
studio.
Q: The old adage you can only wear white between Memorial Day and
Labor Day seems to have gone by the wayside. What are the new rules?
A: Good news ladies, there are no rules. WWD (formerly known as Women’s
Wear Daily) indicated wearing white was perfectly acceptable when the
weather was warm. Since then even those guidelines no longer hold true.
Now white is acceptable year round with white jeans as the hot ticket.
One might look out of place wearing a white cotton summer dress and
matching pumps in the winter, yet even that is a statement! Doncaster’s
new white pant silhouette is FABULOUS!

For a woman who was never comfortable with her fashion sense, Robin
has given me that freedom to go for it! I trust her implicitly to guide me
down the path that always has me looking, and feeling my best!
- Katie N.
Q: To patent or not to patent... Another age old tradition was one could
only wear patent leather shoes in summer. Is this still true?
A: Shoe rules have also changed dramatically in the last several years.
Patent leather and fabric shoes (normally worn for evening events only)
and boots have become daytime and year around favorites. Shoes boast
floral patterns, plaids, tweeds, animal prints and mixed media. We are now
wearing cutout gladiator boots in the summer and peep toe boots in the
winter. You have the freedom to create your look, your way!
Discussion Question: First Lady Michelle Obama has given women the
freedom to wear sleeveless dresses and blouses for any occasion. Is it
appropriate to show your arms when conducting business?
My thoughts: Everyone’s business is different and one must make their
decision. About 65% of people are visual learners, which means they are
best at collecting information with their eyes. Because they are taking
information in with their eyes, they may be more easily distracted. Covering
your arms during a business discussion can be a way of lowering the risk of
distracting those you conduct business with. Also taking into consideration
your profession and your audience can be helpful in deciding whether to
bare your arms.

Make it a LOOK, not a distraction!

n previous generations, there was most likely a man at the head of the
household who was responsible for making all of the family’s financial
decisions. While it may be a difficult concept to grasp now, many women
were not even aware of how or where the family’s savings were invested.
Fast forward to today. Woman are powerful and accomplished, earning
and achieving more than before. Many women successfully handle the
demands of a family, career, and household. In fact, a recent study found
that 90% of women identify themselves as “chief financial officer’ of their
household.1 In addition, the education level attained, the earning power,
and career achievements of women are greater than ever before.

Despite these triumphs, women lag behind men
when it comes to taking the necessary steps to
build wealth and financial security – such as
investing and establishing a long-term financial
plan. They also face several unique challenges
throughout their lifetimes, making proactive
financial planning even more important.
Whether the reason is insecurity about the
subject of money, a shortage of the time
necessary to organize financial matters, or a
heavy reliance on others to manage longerterm finances, it is important for women to
overcome these barriers and take control of
their own financial future. Understanding the
importance of long-term financial goals, as well
as the steps to take to help make them a reality,
are the first steps to a bright financial future.

So, You Want To Be A Government Contractor…
By Eileen Isola, President
T
he email blasts and robo-calls are endless telling you that you’ll
make MILLIONS by contracting with the federal government if you
just sign up and pay for this course or that seminar.
And the truth is, many companies DO master the art and science of being
a federal contractor and achieve great success. But the federal contracting
world is no cash cow or lottery. There are few marketplaces that demand
the level of technical knowledge, consistent engagement, and overhead
costs like that of the federal contracting marketplace.
If you’re ready to take the plunge, here are the pre-requisite “must do’s”
before attempting to jump in.
1.
Find your nearest Procurement Technical Assistance Center, or
PTAC. (www.dla.mil/SmallBusiness/Pages/ptac.aspx) PTACs are the
resource for businesses pursuing and performing under government
contracts. They are run by organizations such as universities and local
chambers of commerce and funded by the federal government. The
training and assistance provided by the PTACs is usually free of charge. If
you don’t live near a PTAC, establish a relationship and work with them
long distance.
2.
Before you can even entertain the idea of going after federal work,
getting your business administratively qualified to compete for a
contract is the first order of business. There are a number of administrative
things that must be done. This is the federal government, after all. None of
these are particularly difficult, but they take time, attention to detail, and
diligent record keeping.
√ Get a DUNS number. This is a unique nine-digit identification number
for each physical location of your business. Even if you only have one
location, you must have a DUNS number. This is the prerequisite step to
all other steps that follow. (fedgov.dnb.com/webform)
√ Register in SAM. The System for Award Management is the U.S.
Government’s official registry of all businesses seeking or doing
business with the federal government. (www.sam.gov) Registering in
SAM is laden with business technicalities and jargon that you’ll need
to already know, or make decisions on before you’re able to complete
your SAM registration. NAICS code(s), PSC code(s), and socio-economic
status (if applicable) to name just a few. Again, all quite doable – but a
new language that must be learned if you’re not already bilingual.
√ Get a CAGE code. A Commercial and Government Entity code is
a federal identification number for businesses that contract with the
government. Getting assigned one should happen as part of your
registering in SAM. Make sure you are assigned one.
3.
Get educated on how the federal government puts out solicitations
and how it makes awards. There are a great number of rules that
dictate how a government procurement person spends federal money.
Because that money is taxpayer dollars, all government purchases are
governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation, or FAR. The FAR is a
“cousin” to the IRS tax code in both volume and complexity, but until you’re
a big corporation executing large contracts, it can be boiled down to some
fairly easy to understand award stratifications. Comprehension of these
strata will focus where and how you target your efforts in developing
relationships, marketing your products and services, and going after work.
Becoming a successful federal contractor takes time, perseverance, and
unforeseen and unplanned business costs. All can take a toll on you and
your business, so don’t go it alone. Get help. Attend workshops, seminars,
and webinars (there are plenty of free ones). Talk to fellow business
people who have navigated the process. Find a mentor. Make a deliberate
business plan for entering a new marketplace. And be confident that the
well-honed principles and discipline that got you to where you are today
are the same ones that are your foundation for federal contracting success.

Create Beautiful Decor Indoors And Outdoors
By Janice Lachman
S
ummer is the time to socialize with barbeques on the patio,
graduation parties, picnics at the beach or any excuse to bask in the
warm sunlight by day or the balmy moonlit nights.
Here are some creative ways of celebrating Summer in
your home decor:
* Hang A Beautiful Painting
As you know, my favorite art gallery is Merritt Gallery in Chevy Chase,
Maryland. We have had a long association together and I have successfully
accessorized my client’s homes with their artwork. I adore this acrylic on
canvas titled “Journey To Peace” by artist Josef Kote. His superb use of light
and shadow and vivid color makes a wonderful statement. One feels as if
they are standing on the dock viewing the sparkling sunlit water.
* Utilize A Beautiful Designer Fabric
One of my favorite design motifs is the paisley. The decorator fabric
house, Scalamandre, features the stunning “Jaipur Paisley” in their new
Spring collection. Graceful paisley motifs are detailed with stylized floral
and foliage elements in this timeless but dramatic design. There are four
colorways available in this fine cotton print.Whether you are reupholstering
or designing something new, the brilliant colors in this exotic textile are
perfect for Summer.
Enjoy your
Summer
and
SIZZLE!!!!
“I have worked with Janice Lachman for many years on projects in my
Northern Virginia home and my lakehouse in Upstate NY.
Janice has done furniture, window coverings, area rugs and wall colors in
two different living rooms, family rooms, bathrooms and our bedrooms. We
have worked together over so many projects and for many years. Janice is
always a pleasure to work with and operates a very professional business.
She always goes the extra mile to complete the job and over the years has
become more than my Interior Designer but a true friend. We recommend
her work and highly recommend her.” - Kathy H., Northern Virginia resident
* Focus On Summer Entertaining
Decorate a gazebo with fabulous tableware or textured linens, accented by
great accessories. One of my favorite Summer accessories is Majolica, the
Italian tin glazed earthenware. It’s brilliant primary colors and whimsical
glazed patterns are the embodiment of Summer.
* Choose A Piece Of New Furniture
Most entertaining during the Summer will be on the patio, porch or at
the poolside. No matter whether it is wicker or metal furniture, being
comfortable in a beautiful envirnment is worth everything! I think the
world of Brown Jordan’s outdoor creations.
* Select New Window Treatments
Depending on the area, sometines an attractive blind can be more effective
than drapery. In the heat of Summer, I prefer a clean line, lighter looking
treatment such as the Silhouette blind from Hunter Douglas or simple
pleated panels on an attractive drapery rod. Workable roman shades are
also a candidate for areas with Summer activities.

College Preparation Countdown Checklist!
By Luanne Lee, CCPRS, YOUR COLLEGE PLANNING COACH
#8. Send In Your Forms
•
•
•
•
Complete housing and health forms.
Take subject placement tests.
Answer roommate preference surveys.
Apply for student loans.
#7. Keep a Close Eye on Things
•
READ, keep and make copies of everything the college sends you; don’t
ignore anything.
•
Make sure you have submitted your end-of-year transcript. Then check
your secure college web portal to make sure it was received. Athletes:
send and confirm with the NCAA. On a wait list? Check your status.
#6. Submit Your A.P. Scores
•
If you have AP scores to send go to the College Board and send them
from there.
#5. Register for Orientation Programs
•
It used to be that orientation wasn’t a big deal, but now colleges want
to help integrate you into the college community with “pre-orientation
programs” that offer an exciting and inspiring start to your first year.
Your school might have BBQs, camping trips and so on. Take part in preorientation as you will make friends based on doing things together
rather than by virtue of living in the same dorm.
Even the most independent college
student can miss his parents. Focus on
things other than yourself and keep
busy with clubs, sports, events, even
community service. You’re not the only
freshman on campus who is homesick;
make friends by being a friend.
Thanksgiving break will seem like an
eternity and homesickness tends to
bloom about a month before. The good
news is by the end of Christmas Break,
you’ll be happy to go back to campus.
By spring break, you’ll be dying to go
back to school.
Now, go have a great summer!
You deserve it. Well Done!
#4. The Roommate(s)
•
Speak with your roommate(s) about each other and include a range of
topics to secure a happy living situation. For instance, is your roommate
a night owl? If you dare, inquire as to their hygiene habits. How often
laundry will be done and if there are any “fragrance issues,” like
Febreeze type products. Who will bring/share things like entertainment
equipment, a cube refrigerator, etc. You only need one.
#3. Parents Are Happy But Bummed, Too
•
Your parents know their life is going to dramatically change. They
want you to start to take care of things, but often feel the need to
micromanage. A firm,“Mom, I’ve got this handled,” will help them as well
as you. Do what you can to not argue. Cut them some slack and realize
that through your excitement, they are sad to see you leaving home.
#2. You Can Start College Today
•
Start learning to do your laundry now. It’s not all that difficult. After all,
you got into college! If you have already received your class schedule
and you have an 8 am class, start practicing getting up by yourself
before you arrive on campus. It works better if you go to bed by 10 or 11
pm. Sleep is good (and there will always be another party).
#1. You Will Get Homesick
“Believe it or not, my least worry when dealing with my children’s college
process was the financial aid implication. WAS I EVER WRONG! Despite
both parents having doctoral degrees, Luanne’s coaching and expertise
superseded every aspect of college financial planning. Luanne simplified
the complex process by educating us on current mandates to maximize
the aid for both of our children. I HIGHLY recommend and refer her often
frequently to my friends and patients.” - T.D., PhD. , Haymarket, VA

Turning Point Suffragist Memorial Association
By Patricia Wirth
Business Women – Why you should care!
R
atification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 was the true genesis
of women’s rights in our country! But do you know the names of
these women? Eleanor Clift – author and political analyst, puts it
succinctly…
“They engineered the greatest expansion of democracy on a single day the
world had ever seen, and yet suffrage faded from public memory almost as
soon as it happened. The leaders built no monuments to themselves, and
too many of their names have been lost to history.”
It’s a rewarding undertaking to finally commemorate and tell the sweeping
story of the thousands of women who fought tirelessly for 72 years not
just to gain the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment,
but as the moment when all American women secured full citizenship
and entry into the Constitution! The “story” will emphasize the suffragists
imprisoned at the Occoquan Workhouse for picketing the White House.
When word leaked out about the deplorable conditions and violent
treatment, it became a significant turning point in the struggle for suffrage.
We envision this national memorial as the third stop on our region’s
“Constitutional Trail;” beginning at Mt. Vernon, home of George
Washington, we recognize Washington’s contribution as chair of the
Constitutional Convention where he advocated for a democratic electoral
process – no monarchs – and became our first elected President. Next stop
is Gunston Hall, home of George Mason, author of the Bill of Rights. Last
stop, the Turning Point Suffragist Memorial, which celebrates the American
women’s full franchise into the Constitution!
The garden-style memorial will be located within Occoquan Regional Park
which was originally part of the prison property where the suffragists were
incarcerated. The park is being redeveloped into a magnificent cultural
center that has been funded by the sale of bonds by NOVA Parks. The
Association must raise private funds for construction of the two-acre
memorial, a cost of $7 million. NOVA Parks will maintain the memorial
in perpetuity upon completion. Our target is to be operational for the
centennial celebration of ratification of the 19th Amendment, August,
2020.
Our mission to educate, inspire and empower visitors will far exceed the
historical. Upon completion of the memorial, we will scrutinize the skills
and characteristics these suffragist women successfully employed which
will form the foundation of our ongoing programs to include topics such
as leadership, public speaking, political candidacy, social responsibility,
fiscal acumen, equal rights, etc. as they apply to the present and future.
Our students will be diverse, from all socioeconomic quarters and hail from
all parts of the country – just like the suffragists!
How can you help? Check out our website, www.suffragistmemorial.
org. Please join our association and/or make a donation. Contact us with
your questions and join a committee. We are working toward raising
$1million by November 30, 2015 to meet the terms of our MOU with NOVA
Parks. Our current campaign, A “Grand” Thank You, Memorialize the
Suffragists, is seeking 1,000 donors (individuals or groups) who will give
$1,000. The goal is to have the $7 million memorial built no later than the
hundred year anniversary of the 19th Amendment, 2020, but completion
by 2017 to commemorate the incarcerations at the Occoquan Workhouse
is preferred. Please spread the word about the TPSM and about what these
women endured. Like us on Facebook and get on our distribution list.
The Turning Point Suffragist Memorial. Opportunity is Knocking!
The centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment giving aLL
women the right to vote is just 5 years awa. You now have the unique
opportunity to become a part of this historic anniversary by contributing
to the construction of a national, garden style memorial that will
acknowledge the suffrage struggle that covered more than seven
decades. Women were willing to endure harsh imprisonment and even
death while advocating for the right to have a voice in their government.
Contribute today! Sponsorships WITH naming rights are available.
For more information: email Patricia Wirth at [email protected]
The Mission:
To memorialize the suffragists whose harsh imprisonment at the Occoquan
Workhouse served as a turning point for recognition of a woman’s right to vote
and to educate, inspire and empower present and future generations to remain
vigilant in the quest for equal rights.
For further information and to make a tax-deductible donation, find us on the web at www.suffragistmemorial.org.

Cork Myth
By Adam Kline
T
he myth we are looking into states that a bottle of wine with a screw
cap has to be inferior to one stopped with a traditional cork. The truth?
Unless you plan to age your bottle for decades, the only thing a cork
guarantees is a one-in-twelve chance of your bottle being “corked.” It also
guarantees a 100% chance you’ll need a cork screw on hand to open it easily.
For me this is not a problem, since I wait tables, I always carry my wine key at
all times. For the rest of the world, corked wines can become inconvenient.
While many of us cherish the mystique of popping a wine cork, screw caps
are becoming more commonplace in the wine industry. Half a century ago,
screw caps were associated with cheap wine, but now they have replaced
corks at many of the world’s best wineries and in their premium wines.
Wine bottles can be sealed in primarily three ways: screw caps, synthetic
corks or natural corks. Each have their advantages and disadvantages. All
three, even more so, have their advocates and adversaries. While synthetic
corks never took hold in the industry, screw caps are more frequently being
studied for their quality and effectiveness.
A bottle sealed with a cap, or even a synthetic stopper ensures your wine
will not be contaminated with TCA, a musty by-product of the process many
wineries use to keep things sterile. While drinking a bottle contaminated
with TCA will not make you ill, it will offer a musty bouquet of wet cardboard,
or just taste “off.” Wine presenting this unfortunate condition is said to be
“corked” or have “cork taint.”
Does this mean you should avoid all wines with a cork enclosure?
Absolutely not. Many great wineries have not yet made the transition to
screw cap enclosures for various reasons, the most common being they’re
concerned their wine will be perceived as cheap. Tim Donahue—enology
instructor at Walla Walla Community College, Enology and Viticulture—
strongly disagrees with cork usage. “Winemakers will spend years on site
selection, soil amendments, clonal selection, canopy design and spray
programs,” he says, adding, “They will monitor water stress, leaf pull, fruit
thin, measure phenolic data… use a 100% sterile bottling line and bottles,
and then, just for the hell of it, shove an old piece of tree bark in the neck of
the bottle and hope everything works out.”
The fact is, 92% of the time it does work out, and for the one-in-twelve
chance it doesn’t, write it off as being “lucky” enough to finally know what
a bad bottle smells like. Think about this financially. If 8% of wine stopped
with natural corks goes bad, how much money is lost overall. On average,
31 billion bottles of wine are bought and sold every year worldwide. That’s
right, billion with a B. Screw caps have a success rate around 99.99% for
keeping wine untainted. I might be hard for the traditionalist, but I think
this factor will eventually overtake the wine-making industry. The almighty
dollar wins again.
Are We Running Out Of Cork
The truth is, there is not a cork shortage. It is a matter of costs. Since cork
requires a lot of age and time, it is expensive to produce cork and results
in a higher price point. The reason we see more aluminum twist off caps
and plastic cork is simply because of cheaper costs. Plenty of cork has been
harvested and trees are plentiful. The problem comes down to these new
materials being chosen over cork, which has been a hard hit to the the
cork industry. Farmers who have been in the business for generations are
suddenly now beginning to struggle financially. From this, the belief of a
cork shortage has created one. Cork has become an endangered material as
the world’s wine suppliers turn to cheaper materials for their bottling needs.
Adam started his restaurant career
at age 15 in establishments in
Southern New Jersey. After moving
to North Carolina in 1988, he gained
the knowledge and experience
to become a manager at some of
Greensboro’s finest restaurants.
Adam Kline
Pros and Cons
Natural Corks:
-Not all natural corks are alike, resulting in variable cork properties
-Higher chance of “corked” wine
-Some claim that the source of natural cork is dwindling
-Traditionalist believe “real” corks allow healthy gas flow for flavorful wine
Synthetic Corks:
-Considered expensive and unpopular with customers
-They seem more often difficult to remove from the bottle
-Many let too much air into the wine bottle by mistake
Screw caps:
-Less chance that wine will be “corked,” creating much fewer tainted wines
-Much more cost effective, but loss of traditional rituals
-Some say that air-tight screw caps are suffocating the wines
